An Endless Chain Fraud.

against the endless chain scheme of Civ

emitting the holder to buy book for
IS cents more. to be sold to as many
other persons for % cents each and the
fourth returned to the company with
the IS cents thus obtained. Then the
purchaser and vendor receives his re.
ward in the form of twenty-five car
tickets good in the city in which he
lives.
Department officials have computed
that sixteen of these chains would in
volve for success in each instance, no
less than 3S7 ,39S,5l9 persons or pur-
chasers of coupons in order that $780,
1888 persons might receive tickets at
the rate of one for cent. The pros
pectus of the company proposes 200 of
these chains, which would involve ~
47e.7O3, 800 persons. of nearly 1000 times
the total population of the United
States.

clared the schemes fraudulent anad has

done hereabout, and many gallons OF
oysters are shipped by every steamer to
Baltimore.
The new pastor, r. o. Payne, and
family were kindly received. A com

them and cordially welcomed them 10
their new home. The minister has been

needful for the inner man were supplied
by the thoughtful kindness of his people
and they have continued TO remember
the pastor and family by continued acts
OF kindness. This thoughtful kindness
is appreciated. The official board think
that the church will measure up to
the standard OF other years, and
begin to face the future with hope
and courage. Rev. ]. T. Whitley has

POLITICAL.

From Lynchburg comes the rumor
of uncertainty. 1t is held by people
from the Sixth District that, while
that section went strongly for Mon
tague the last time against Swanson,
there is strong feeling there to-day
in favor of the Congressman from
the Fifth District. They say that it
is Swanson's turn now, aud he ought
to have the governorship. The fact
that they opposed him the last time
seems to have left no enmity in the
hearts of the Sixth District people
against Swanson. On the contrary,
he seems to have won friends by the
way in which he took his defeat
Richmond Times.
Mr.. Roosevelt says in substance:
"The law declares the negro the equal
of any other man. / insist that be

to recognize any distinction of race
or color" If that were true, it would
be fanatic, but interesting and honor
able-however impractical. But ia
it true? Suppose that female MEM
Der of Mr.. Roosevelt's family became
engaged to marry negro. Would
Mr.. Roosevelt remember his views in
regard to absolute equality? Would
he apply to case near to himself

plies to white men in the South?
No, he would not. Every man knows

We learn from the Richmond
papers that the people are greatly
aroused over the nominations for
governor and United States senator
in 1905. What good it will do the
Democratic party to keep up this
agitation we are unable to see. So
far as the territory the Herald covers
is concerned, the people are taking
no interest whatever in the nomina-
tons for 1905; they are SO busy at.

have no time for county politics for

true, Nansemond = pie are more

not believe in going " over party
