AFTER AGN[W'S 'SSCALP
Republicans to Overturn the
notwithstanding for
State Chairman.

There is every Indication Of revolt In
the Republican ranks In Virginia within
the next few months, which will cast IN
the shade every former attempt to over
throw the present organization.
An effort has been carefully planned to
have the State chairman come from the
Ninth district. and to this end a careful
organization has been effected. The men
at the head of the movement are among
the best-known Republicans in the State.
and they are all determined to bring
about the overthrow Of Chairman Asnew.
The chairman OF the Republican party
in Virginia shall come from the Ninth
district" said Colonel ;. S. Browning. of
Pocahontas last night. The Ninth is
the only Republican district In the State;
no other approaches It in the strength OF
the Republican vote. We ought to be re-
cosnized, and fisk but little in saying
that we will be. Watch US. and see the
outcome OF. the fight we will make.
There Is no doubt that the Colonel is
In dead earnest. Further conversation
revealed the fact tt.at he has devoted
much time to getting ready for the fray.
which has for its ooject the scalp Of Mr..
Park sAgnew as the head of the present
Republican ma chine. and it is also PLAIN

will get It.
Colonel Browning will almost certainly
be the chairman IN case he and his
friends are successful. 1le is one OF the
best-krown Republicans In the State. and
In the Southw est everybody knows and
likes the genial Colonel He Is close
friend Of Congressman sIernp's, and it Is
pretty safe to assume that the latter is
with him in the fight resident Roose.
velt has completely ignored the present
organization in Virginia in the matter of
making appointments. and listens to Con-
gresham Slemp when seeking advice as
to applicants to office. In other words,
what the Congressman says regarding
Republican appointees In Virginia dis
tinctly goes.
There is reason 20 believe that the Pres
Ident would be glad to see fgnung Re-
publican. such as Colonel Browning, It
the lead of the party in .nis State. Colo
mel Browning comes from Tazeweli coun-
ty, which under the new suffrage clause
gave Congressman Slemp last tall a ma
jority over Judge Rh-a Of 42O. II there
is a new chairman, 1T Is very probabls
tnat Colonel Browning will be >na man.

DR., EVANS TO REMAIN
Popular Rector Yields te
Pressure and Will Cons
tinue at Monumental.

Rev. William Edwin Evans, D. D.. rec
tor of Monumental Protestant Episcopal
church. has finally decided not to ac-
cept the call to the Episcopal church at
Newport News. AS already stated in the
Dispatch, DR.. Evans had at one time
practically made up his mind to accept
the call. but the pressure brought to bear
upon him and Mrs. Evans. who is quite
as popular as the Doctor himself with
the congregation Of the historic old
church. has been so great that the rector
has finally decided to remain in his pres
ent charge.
The apartments of Dr.. and Mrs. Evans.
at No. north Third street. were sin ply
besieged all day yesterday, and the day
before by the friends Of the family. and
the members of Monumental congrega-
ton, a:ld every argument that could be
brought to bear was presented to induce
him to remain. LIT. Evans. perforce.
finally consented to continue in his pres
ent position.
1 It was. pointed out to the rector that
Monumental church. under his rectorshIp.y
had enjoyed a prosperity that was almost
Unprecedented, and that go where he may
he could hardly accomplish greater
work than that which had been his In his
present position 6
The Monumental is to-day the most
,argely-attended and perhaps. the most
popular Episcopal church in the city-44a
fact for the most part due to DR.. Evans's
personal efforts.
The congregation will undoubtedly re-
ceive the news of his decision with pleas
sure and qualification.
But few Of the members of the church
had learned OF his decision, which was
not made until last night.
It had been arranged to call a meet
ing of the vestry in the next day or two
to try and devise some means to induce
DR.. Evans not to leave Monumental.
This meeting will, Of course, now be un-
necessary.

RICHMOND VA sATURDAY JANUARY "a 1908

Campbell cannot summon as many as
two esteemed citizenssof the community
to testify In his behalf. Whether this be
true u. or not remains to be seen.
The fact is certainly true, however. that
the witnesses who have testified against
Judge Campbell are the very rank and
file of the community.
As anticipated in these columns, at the
outset Of the proceedings, the issue has
very plainly narrowed down to a fight
,oatween the saloon and the antI-saloon
element IN the county. When the inqui-
sttion proceedings come up for discussion
IN the legislature, as they assuredly
Will, the contention will be a far higher
one. ~:

Timber Books.


There is at Cassel a library prob
ably unique in the world. 1t is bound
in timber, printed on timber pages
possibly from wood blocks-and
deals exclusively with timber. The
library in question is the Holz-
biblistek, which was compiled at the
end Of the last century by Karl
Shieldbach, and is composed of about
500 volumes made from trees in the
park at Wilhelmshohe. Every vol
ume bears on a tab-not in timber
but, q%ueerly enough, in moroccc-the
name Of the tree from which it was
obtained. There are plates of the
tree in all stages Gifts growth, and the
letter-press is a treatise on the for
esting and natural history of the
tree.
