points in Accomac and Maryland.

frightened our saloon men somewhat

have now five saloons, gain of one

Decoration day exercises on last

Tribute to a Good rIan.

A good man, however modest, re-.
firing and unassuming he may be, is
q benefaction to the community In
which he resides-his influence for
good, being felt In the domestic,
social and business circles, and when
he dies the land mourns.
This thought Is suggested by the
sudden decease of our we'll beloved
friend John @. Taylor, on the Goth Of
April In the village of Pungoteague,
where he resided, and was engaged
in merchandising with his brother,
under the firm name of "Taylor
Bros" He was a gentleman OF great
refinement and elegance OF manner,
and gentle as woman need to be,
and from business standpoint, he
was always on the alert to show him
self equal to the requirements OF his
customers. His was not robust
physique but he possessed an ms
domitable will and energy. by which
he was impelled to the performance
OF arduous duties which he felt de-
volved upon him to promote his secu-
lar interests which prospered under
the direction OF his superior business
tract.
The early years OF his business
career were spent In New York city,
and there he met and married his
wife-a most estimable woman who
lavished upon him bountiful love
and sympathy, and frightened every
day OF his life by her beautiful devo-
ton, which he warmly and fully
reciprocated. 1t did not seem that
the one could exist without the
other Her absence from home for a
day afflicted him-his sunlight and
ioy centered in her; but now he is
gone and she Is left to mourn his alb
sence. We cannot restrain our tears
when we think OF her broken heart
and of the lonely way down the val
ley of time, but it Is consoling to
known that ''some sweet day" there
will be blissful reunion where
parting never comes.
He was Methodist and more-a
Christian-not for convenience or
policy, but from principle-deeply
instilled into his mind In his infancy
by his sainted father and his de-
voted mother, who is just awaiting
the summons to "come up higher"
Three brothers and sister survive
him. He was buried at the old home
stead, by the side of many loved ones
who preceded him to the glory land.
We love to think that Heaven Is not
far away, and that we shall know
each other there.

Marriages.
Waters-W escott.

On June the Srd, 1908, Garrisons'
Chapel, Accomac Co, Va, was the
scene OF the most beautiful marriage
within its history, when Mr.. Charles
r. Waters and Miss Minnie Mapp
Wescott entered its portals under the
soft strains OF Lohengrlns' wedding
march rendered by the trained touch
OF Mrs. Dave Mears, singing at the
same time solo, and met at the
altar, where hung an arch OF ever
greens In the center OF which was
suspended two united hearts made
OF bride roses, typical Of the happy
union which was to follow. There
they were met by Rev. R.W. Grower,
who performed the nuptial rites that
wove their lives into one.
First OF the bridal party came the
ribbon girls, Misses Sallye Wescott,
Loleta Boggs, Annie and Lillian
Jacob, attired 10 white chiffon, who
proceeded to the center OF the aisles,
unfastening the ribbons which sep
arated the relatives and intimate
friends from the vast throng that
had gathered to witness the cere-
mony, and held them apart whilethe
ushers, Henry A. Wise, Joseph O.
Boggs, Edward A. Downing and B.
Jas. burlington, advanced to the altar
followed by the ring bearer, little
Miss Margaret Wescott, in white silk,
CARRYING the wedding ring upon
silver salver. AT the same time, up
the opposite aisle, came Master For
est Mapp, bearing the deliberately
embroidered white pillow sent near
" across the continent from the
western home to the bride by CON-
panion OF her childhood days, and
after opening the massive evergreen
gate placed it under the arch for her
! to kneel upon while the minister
uttered the prayer that blessed the
union. Then the maid Of honor, Miss
Georgia d. Lewis, attired in shadow
white ettamine, and carrying pink
carnations, entered. Then followed
the bride leaning upon the arm OF
her uncle, Ernest Wescott, who gave
her away, and the groom on the arm
of his brother, William E. Waters,
acting as best man. The bride wore
creme de chene over heavy white
taffeta and carried bride roses, the
groom, best man and ushers wore the
conventional black. The hour was ap-
preaching noon, though the golden
sunlight OF the June morning was
shut out by the closed doors and
windows, myriads OF little candles
lighted the edifice.
After the ceremony wedding
breakfast was served at the home OF
the brides mother, Mrs. M o. Boggs,
then the bride changing her bridal
robe for going-away gown Oh plue
foulard, the party drove to Maps
burg station, where Mr.. and Mrs.
Waters amid showers OF rice and COL
congratulations OF host OF friends
left for New York, the Adirondacks,
and Atlantic City. They were the
recipients OF many elegant presents.
The bride though cultured and
beautiful yet possesses another at
traction, that womanly excellence OF
character whose magnetism has won
flor her a legion Of friends. The groom,
q purser on one of the boats OF the
b. G. g. A. Railway Company, Is one
of its trusted employees, and is held
in high esteem by the people OF this
county for his manly traits.

entering before him a vigorous protest against the change but he received cold comfort for his pains He did not even secure, soft words.
 The truth is. Secretary Holbrook was not loaded, and from the nature of the case he could not be. When Mr. Finley told him that the Southern railway officials were rapidly reaching tho conclusion that efficient traffic op- eration demanded the removal of the general superintendents office to Bir- mingham, MT. Holbrook confessed that be was not in a position "to give any figures as to the comparative tonnage value of the business with tha South ern railway in the Chattanooga dis trict as compared with that of Bir- mingham." We advise him to hold fast to his present position. The less he knows about the comparative ton mage of Chattanooga and Birmingham, the stronger will his case be. There are thirty stacks in Jefferson county alone in operation or in course of con struction. There are but two or Sree in Hamilton county, of which Chatta- nooga is the metropolis. There are 100000 tons of coal mined annually in Jefferson county. There is not a million of tons mined in Hamilton county. Let these facts suffice. It is easy to see from these two facts why the general srperintendency of the Southern railway can become more efficient in Birmingham than it is at a wayside station which is chiefly noted for it's cemeteries and historical tab lefa

Trial and the Jury.

defense of the jury sys- tenn would have been stronger if he had not impeached Judge Jones' in tegrity, and General Gordon's intelli- gence. There was no call for either, especially when Judge Jones stood for law, and General Gordon for the old soldiers of the civil war. He should have left out the two attacks in ques- tion, and proceeded straight to his de- fense of the Turner jury in particular and all other juries in particular. Not that the jury system was in the least jeopardized by Judge Jones' remarks, but because it pleases MT. Hefin to defend it.
 MT. Hefins defense is greatly weakened by the fact that Turner, who was on trial when the remarks objected to were made, later pleaded guilty, and was duly fined by the court He, in other words, admitted all fhat Judge Jones stated to the jury. This is the weak point in MT. Hehin's heroic defense of the Turner jury at least. After all, MT. HeAin is defending something that needed no defense when the Turner case was progressing, and that needs none now. The jury system is not in toppling condition Judge Jones did not jostle it a particle, and MT. Heflin's ingeni- ous and plausible defense of it is wasted energy. No defense of George Washington or Gibraltar is considered necessary, and the jury system is in that selfsame boat. It needs no de- fense.
