The Soldiers Home.

We have received the annual report
of the Board of Visitors of Lee Camp
Soldiers Home at Richmond, which is
an interesting document. The aver
age number present during the year,
is $50, one hundred were admitted du-
ring the year and the applications are
limited appropriation all who apply
cannot be admitted at once. There
are nine veterans from Stanton and
Augusta at present in the home, viz:
j. b. Bryad, Go. l. 9Th infantry; A. B.
Campbell, Co E 9Th inf; David Full
wider, Co. L 9Th inf o. M. Humphreys,
Co. j 9Th inf; D. s. Hall, Co. Z and
inf ;Chas. Robertson, CARRIERS artil-
lery; A. I. Roberts, Co. E 9th Inf; j..
R. Smith. Co. A 18th inf. and W. A.
Wright, Co. D 5th inf. There are
from Rockbridge, from Rockingham,
and from Bath. Veterans have been
received from 81 counties and II cities
in the State and IS from West Virgin
ia, original Virginia companies.
In all there have been 1,549 admis-
sions, of which 413 have died and q
sent to insane asylums. Number now
in the hospital sick 81. The cost OF
land, buildings, furniture and fixtures
has been $40, sos, and the annual appro.
priation by the State is $35, 600; special
appropriation for improvements $10,-
600. The cost per ration is 10 cents,
the average cost per diem SO cents. and
the average per capita per annum $131, ).
40. By all of which, it is seen great
deal has been done with small appro.
priation, and economy has been used In
the handling of the public funds in this
great charity of the State. Maj. N
V. Randolph, the able president for sc
many years, has been sick since last
summer, and First Vice President E.
J. Bosher makes this report to til.

Congressman Meekison Of Ohio.

Hon. David Meekison Is well known
not only in his own State, but through
out America. He was elected to the
Fifty-ffth Congress by very large
majority, andis the leader
Of his party In his section OF the State.
Only one flaw marred the otherwise
complete success of this rising states

only unconquered foe. For thirty years
he waged unsuccessful warfare against
this personal enemy. At last Peruna

Or. Kerr's Lee ,ure

1t is safe to say that Staunton au-
dience never heard a more interesting
and profitable lecture than the story
DIR. Robert p. Kerr gave them Friday
night at the Second Presbyterian
church. of his travels in Bible lands.
No speaker either. ever had a more
appreciative and Intelligent audience,
and though he kept the platform near
ly two hours, the interest never Tagged
and there was genuine disappointment
when he came to close. His descrlp-
tive powers are unequalled and
flights of eloquence We're fascinating.
| From a critical standpoint, it was a
fine piece of work, his recollection OF
names of mountains, cities, villages
and persons, being wonderful, as he
read no manuscript or notes. Those VIII
heard the lecture can never forget II
and would gladly hear repetition.
The ladies of the church received
quite handsome addition to thei
organ fund from the large audience
who attended the lecture.

Senator ople's Fine Speech.

The following speech Of Senator
John N. Opie on the bill Of Senator
Halsey of Lynchburg, proposing that
Virginia should place statue OF Gen.
R. E. Lee in the Statuary Hall OF the
national capitol at Washington, was
crowded out of our last issue by some
late orders Of publication coming in
just before going to press. Mr.. Opie
takes the sa me position that the SPKC
TAToR does on this question and de-
Tended it ably. The following refer
ence to it is from the Richmond Times
Dispatch:
Mr.. Opie, a veteran of the Confed-
crate service, an orator and a DICTATOR
equal to any fellow member of the
Senate, was eloquent and little bit
fiery In bis opposition to the Halsey
bill. Mr.. Opie called the attention of
the Senate to the fact that the resolu
tion inviting each State to place two
statues IN Statuary Hall was pas. ed
| by Congress in 1854 in the darkest days
of the Civil War. He wanted to know
WAC brought the message to Virginia
That this State was asked to contrib
ute. Strengthening himself. up and al
most tip-toeing. Mr.. Opie said the
message was brought to US by Phil
Sheridan, who at the head of 10000
soldiers was mar, hing through the
State destroying property and causing
suffering to women and children. Tn
buttoning the second button of his
frock coat, Mr.. Opie wanted to know
who carried the message to the people
of Georgia. 1t was, said he, Sherman
in bis march to the sea laying waste
to the lands of that beloved section OF
the South.
Mr.. Opie was not willing to force
Lees statue where it was not wanted.
He did not wish 70 place it where 1t
would be despised by the majority of
the people of a section Of the country
whose national hymn was John
Browns body lies moulding In the
grave as we go marching on"
1t was not to be expected, argued
Mr.. Opie. that the people of the North
would like Lee, who marched through
MARYLAND and Pennsylvania, leaving
the fields strewn with the dead bodies
of Federal soldiers.
Mr.. Opie said he knew that the beat
of the n oTth was not opposed
to what it is purpose1 by this bill to
do, but the dominant party there is
opposed to it and is opposed to all the |
best interests of the South.
Mr.. Opie said the Southern people |
are as true to the Federal Government |
as any people in the government, but
The South would have to remain solid |
so long as the North is solid. The |
speaker got in several sharp raps at |
Roosevelt and his policy toward the
South. In closing Mr.. Opie predicted
hat the time would come when the
south would haveto preserve the union
If States.
"As for me-" said the Staunton Sena-
or, II am. and will be, unreconciled
70 long as the majority party Of the
North endeavors to force on the South
'acial, social, political and official
quality
Mr.. Opie thought the old soldiers
we're as far as he had been able to learn
opposed to placing Lees statue in
,tatuary Hall
The bill was passed, however, only
dessrs. Ople and Gould, two Confed-
rate veterans voting against it. It
hen went to the House where it also
passed.
