Annual Reunion of the StOnewa11
Brigade

The annual reunion of the sur
vivors of this immortal commaHt
was held in Staunton Thursday
last. The proceedings were pre-
sided over by President David f
Moore of Lexington. The address
of welcome was delivered by Capt
Thomas d. Ransom, followed by
Capt. James Bumgardner of Staun-
ton and Col. w. T. Poague OF
Lexington, who gave an eye-wit-
ness account of the First Battle
of Mannases. Other addresses
were made by Capt. John N. Opie,
David f. Moore, Col. David w.
Drake, C. d. Fishburne of Char
lottesville, and Capt. H. M. Nc
Ilhany of Staunton.
The following officers were
elected for the ensuing year: Col.
W. T. Poague CT Lexington, presi-
dent; Thomas NJ. Smiley of Aug
ustacounty, vice-president Thomas
ID. Woodward of Staunton, secre-
tary; and Rev. Daniel Blain, ID. d.,
of Covesville, chaplain.
Upon motion of Comrade John
L. Lyle of Waco, Texas, the
brigade unanimously decided to
adopt the 10th of January as both
General Lees and Stonewall Jack
sons birthday, and recommended
that the same be brought to the
notice of the chapters of the
Daughters Of the Confederacy and
every camp of veterans in the State.
A pleasant incident of the meet
ing was the present ton of box
of fine cigars by Comrade H. l..
johnson of Utica, N. Y, veteran
of the 121st New York volunteers,
who had the distinction of having
met the brigade on the field #
battle, and had sent them this
package as n token of his apprecia-
tion of their valor. The presenta-
ton was made through Col w. Il.
Poague, and the brigade adopted
resolutions of thanks for the COM
pliment Coinrade johnson had con-
ferred upon them.
In the afternoon the j. +. B.
Stuart Chapter Of the Daughters
of the Confederacy rendered the
veterans reception in the Stone
wall jackson Camp room, where
refreshments were served, and the
time passed in social intercourse.
The attendance was not as large
as expected, but year by year the
little band grows smaller. Licking
ton had eight representatives there.
The Staunton News says that
Captain Bumgardner's speech was
followed by a most interesting adj
dress delivered by Col. W. L.
Poague of Lexington, in which he
claimed and asserted that the
Rockbridge Battery of Artillery
was a component part of the Stone
wall Brigade, and proved the as
sertion by incon ,estable records Of
the transactions of the Army of
Shenandoah and of the Army of
Northern Virginia.
He alluded, also, to statements
of o certain writer directly or IN
directly denying the right of the
Stonewall Brigade to claim the
position now universally accorded
to it in regard to its services at
First Manassas, and to the effect
of the action of that brigade upon
the victory won by the Confed-
crates on that memorable day.

J. Raymond Warren, evidently, is of the same mind as Senator Tracy as to the manner of turning out business at the state capitol in Hartford. Tn let ter recently to the Hartford Times he says: "I was much surprised to find how the third house had gained pres tige since 1899. There are more mem- bers and they have longer sessions. The speaker of the third house of 1903 is a hard worker. He is the first to arrive and the last to leave, and his hand is plainly seen in the senate and house of representatives under suspension of the rules. The third house seems to hold the senate with one hand and the house of representatives with the other. From what have observed in two sessions that have spent in the capitol, it is my opinion that the third house is the business end of all i'm portant legislation, and the senate and house are subordinate bodies. Con- necticut may not be worse than other states in this respect, but the land of steady habits Is allowing itself to be run by men who are looking for paying positions for their friends and appro- priations for campaign funds under dis guise of necessary commissions"

The organ of the socialists, The Ap- peal to Reason, makes the following comparison to show the difference be- tween competition and monopoly: By the breakup of the drouth in Mary land last week the strawberries ripened very fast and were thrown on the mar ket so that the price fell in New York to cent a box. That is competition among raisers for the customers. Many truck gardeners lost the years labor. The price of oil remains the same or higher, no matter how many gushers may be found--that is monopoly. Sor cialism would make national monop- oly in which every citizen would be benefited. But the little fry prefer to bankrupt"

The American Society of Equity of Indianapolis has issued bulletin to the farmers of the United States de manding an increase in the price of wheat, arguing that the minimum price of wheat should be $1 bushel, and urging the farmers not to sell for less than $1. The society was organized a year ago, with that city as national headquarters, to maintain higher prices for farm products by co-opera- ton of the farmers of the country, and this is the first formal demand for in crease in prices. The bulletin reasons that because of the low visible supply ot wheat and the high cost of produc- tion, owing to high prices for most other commodities, $1 Chicago is only an equitable price for wheat.

A little trick of the presidents q

A little trick of the presidents duT- ing his ''swing around the circle" was to give to the Associated Press repre- sentative accompanying him type written copies of his address to be de- Tvered at any given point, to be sent out broadcast over the country as the speech he delivered there. That speech, as sent out, was carefully built and edited, says a Washington cor respondent. It was not the speech he delivered, however, by long shot. MT Roosevelt said many things in his speeches that did not reach the people of the country, and things he did not want the country at large to hear. He was caught at his little gone by the Butte, Mont, Miner. That paper sent stenographer to hear MT Roosevelt and took his speech down verbatim
 and 1t differed materially from the typewriter copy sent to that office early in the evening. He said many things of radical nature, and they were things he would not want the business interests of the country to gel hold of, for fear that there would mol be the same unanimity in endorsing him for nomination as there seems te have been lately. If this isn't saying things on the stump that he does not say off of it, what would you call it?

RUGS FOR THE PoRCH.s
The Fashion Of Living Outdoors Has Made Them a Class by
 Themselves.

Rugs for the porch are no longer the Geft-overs or worn-out floor coverings from the interior of the house. Liv- ing out-of-doors has come into fash lon, and it's general acceptance has made the furnishings for the porch 8 class by themselves, says the New orh Sun.
 Mattings are woven in nine and twelve foot widths for the piazza, the narrow widths being available as rum ners in more contracted parts. Some of the mattings have borders along the sides, others are plain. Rugs of wood fiber have center and border in geometrical designs in red, blue or green woven with an ecru color.
 Some East Indian, mats are made in large and small sizes in red, black and light brown with sometimes a touch of green introduced. The more artistic selection in this variety is generally the quieter shades.
 The Damascus mats are of natural colored reeds with very simple pat tern woven in brown. At first sight coarse-looking, these mats grow on ac- quaintance, for they have no cclors that will fade or show dust. The larger sizes are slightly regular in weave and the small sizes are more easily handled than the others.
 A very attractive color effect ap- pears in the East India dhurrie rugs. in which reds, blues and yellows are mingled in true Indian splendor. The dark blue and red dhurries look es- pecially we'll on the decks of yachts Or for summer camps at the seashore.
 The wooden rugs made in the far . west hy Indians are the oldest and most durable floor coverings for the veranda. They are not,rafect ed by moisture, and their colors endure all kinds of hardship
 This year the different arts and crafts exhibitions have shown some charming cotton rugs woven in diff ferent shades of one color, blue, red or green. The scraps of odd colors. in silk, woolen and cotton that in the olden time made this kind of rug a dis cordant combination have been dis carded for more aesthetic scheme, in which color is beautifully blend ed. When these rugs are not too delicate in tone they are we'll adapted for the floor of the porch.
 Floor coverings form so oIarge- a part of the comfort as we'll as making so material difference with the appear ance of the porch that their selection should not be carelessly or hurriedly made. Conditions of space should be studied to have the sizes of the rugs correct; the colors of the floors and sides of the house should enter into the color scheme, and the particular use of the porch should be met by the style that is most suitable.

IA town in Sweden has introduced a municipal tax on stoutness.

 The private practice of exchanging children between families living in French and German Switzerland, to enable boys to acquire additional Ian guage, has grown to such an extent that public exchange has been estab- lished at Zurich and the Italian Alps have been added. It is found that a transplanted boy picks up the new Ian guage in six months, and is then sent to school to learn the grammar. A boy shifted around in this way acquires three languages in as many years.
 District Attorney Jerome was rather amused by the manner in which a tramp who strolled up to the kitchen door of his Lakeville home last Sunday morning sized up the labor situation. While the wanderer was devouring the food set before him he bitterly com plained about the hard times. "But I had imagined that work was plentiful now," ventured MT Jerome. "Oh, yes was the reply, there Is plenty of work all right; but if you belong to a union you have to be on strike most of the time, and if you don't belong to a union they won't let you work nohow."

Pea from Pharnoh,s Tomb.

There are bargains and finds to be made in the plant world equal to any picked up in old curiosity shops. Some time ago Glasgow gentleman received from his son in Egypt an envelope full of peas, which were said to have been found in the tomb of one of the Pharaohs. He sent them to friend of his at Flames, in the isle of Bute, who sowed them They grew up into plants quite uns like anything known at pres ent, strong and about six feet high, with @ great white flower having a red center.
