The deaths by drowning OF
Ketch and Morris in Watnong
river last Friday is one of those in
cidents which calls forth the ex-
preston of sympathy by the entire
community. This accident was
particularly sad because it took
from the number of intelligent
young Americans which is so nee
essary to the moral well being of
every community two bright,
clever youths who were known by
their comrades and in the wider
field Of their acquaintanceship as
good" boys. They were manly
young men and possessed the at
tributes that would have made

The Chronicle this week received
a letter with a signature and an
address. 1t contained a statement
of alleged facts which if published
would make interesting reading
and would seriously injure the
reputation of prominent person
of this county. An exhaustive
attempt to find the writer at the
address given failed as she was
unknown to the occupants of the
house and the Chronicles reporter
finds it impossible to verify any of
the statements made in the letter.
Recently this paper gave as it's
opinion that the worst specimen of
the human race was the person who
wrote an unsigned communication
to newspaper attacking the good
name of neighbor At that
time we did not realize that there
were persons capable of giving the
appearance of authenticity to an
attack on another by signing a
letter with fctitions name and by
giving an address that would cause
the recipient to believe the charges
were worthy of consideration.
For downright, criminal cowardice
the palm is given to this person.

great executive ability with strong
personal popularity and thorough
familiarity with the duties of the
office to which he aspires. He is
known from one end Of the county
to the other as a good official and
his place in political life has given
him more than a local fame. At
no time has there been a doubt as
to his nomination and there can
be none of his election.

History will doubtless say that
the dominant characteristics of Leo
XIII, throughout his wonderful
life, embracing more than 90 years.
was simple goodness. The angelic,
hymn, Peace on earth; good will
to men, seemed to be the music
of his existence. Set like light
upon a hill top, the simplicity, gen
tleness, kindness of his life was an
example and an inspiration to all.
He will be mourned, not only by
the two hundred and fifty millions
of Roman Catholics who saw in him
the successor of st. Peter and their
supreme guide in the interpreta-
ton of the Scriptures and in mat
tiers of faith, but by the entire
civilized world, which recognized
in him that disposition the creation
of which is the purpose of the
Christian religion and its fine, con-
summate flower. Already advanced
in years when elected to the Papal
See, his pontifcate covered more
than a quarter of century, equal
ing the famous years of Peter.
Of aristocratic descent and reared
under what many would regard as
restrictive influences, his heart en-
braced all humanity; his warmest
sympathies were with the poor,
and he has strong faith in popular
government. His admiration of the
United States and his friendship for
it were boundless. The material
well being of all the people here no
less than the growth of his church
under free institutions excited his
enthusiasm, and he frequently con-
fessed to "a special love and affec-
ton for America. 1t is curious
that this Leo of the twentieth CEN
fury, living in democratic age
and essentially democratic in his
tastes and aspirations, seemed to
have taken for his ideal the first
Pontiff who bore that name-the
Leo of the fifth century-and re-
sembled him in many respects, in
Guiding the austere simplicity of
life and his regard for the rights
of the humblest and most OBJ
scure priest under his rule. An
ardent admirer of 'the Angelic
Doctor St. Thomas of Aquinas"
and the most distinguished expon-
ent of his philosophy, Leo XIII
while implicable in matters that are
"of aith"-applied this philosophy
to the interfering of the church in
matters of discipline, and was by
some of the less progressive mem
bers of the hierarchy accused of
sympathy with what some of the
French prelates a few years ago
called :" Americanism. The
charge was we'll founded. In his
adherence of strife and bloodshed,
Leo, acting as arbitrator between
Spain and Germany in the dispute
over the Caroline Islands recalled
the ages when the Popes were the
arbitrators of Christendom And
yet this aged man with so many
ties with the past was abreast of
the formost thought and impulse
of his own time. While sympa-
thizing with the aspirations of the
toiling masses of the world for the
betterment Of their condition by all
lawful means, he exerted all his
moral influence and spiritual power
to repress the socialistic and false
philosophy and the success of which
result in anarchy. For his service
in this field alone civilization must
honor the memory of Leo XIII.

W EEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

u KlNISTER VANILLA has re-
MI ccived adviceS from Panama
AVA informing him that the Canal
Treaty will be ratified by the
Junta and returned to Washington with
out delay. There is no opposition TO the
treaty on the Isthmus. When the rat
fed treaty reaches Washington, it will
be sent ut once to the Senate.
General Reyes. the Colombian rcTre-
sentative has arrived in Washington. If
his credentials are in order, he will be
received by the President. His purpose
of saving Panama to Colombia is of
course. a forlorn hope. His govern
mcnt'S threats of raising 100000 to fight
the United States are not taken serious
~. Probably his mission will end in an
attempt to secure Il money indemnity
for Colombia and to force Panama to
assume Il pro rata portion Of Colombian $

supported by England and other Euro

The Effect OF License.

During Ave months Of no license In
our incorporated town, we had
season of quiet, peace and sobriety'
except for one negro who sent his Jug
to Baltimore once a week and had 1t
filled with something which kept MIN
drunk part of the time.
Last Friday morn, October Stn'
while the storm was raging, just
eight days. after granting license
several whiskey-soaked. crap-shoot
ing negroes gathered up the hotel
stable loft for a game. They had
not played long before dispute
arose between two, and a fight en-
sued. The officers of the town had
to take part, ten were arrested foi
gambling and fighting and one toi
contempt. The latter WAS tneo
twenty dollars, the others from eight
to seventeen dollars and costs, the
cash being forthcoming. This hat
put money in the town treasury, but
at what a cost? The license was
granted against the wishes OF the
best citizens. 1t is now imprudent fol
ladies to be on the street lest they b'
accosted by some of the many drunk
en- negroes. Do white men drini
at the same bar? Shame on those
who made this thing possible!

Hon. Geo. B. Mcclellan, candidate
for mayor of New York, is the latest
to be mentioned in connection with
the Democratic nomination for
the Presidency. The prestige of a
big victory, it is believed, will bring
him to the front as one of the lead
ing aspirants for the position.
He is regarded by those who
know him best as a man of fine
ability but if he gets the nomination
as the Democratic candidate for the
presidency it will be due probably tc
the fact, that he lives in New York
and because of the belief, "as goeI

The Ohio State Board of Health, at
a recent meeting, submitted stats
tics showing the dangers Of the toy
pistol and passed a resolution look
ing to the protection of children
from such dangerous playthings.
The fact was brought out, while the
resolution was being considered, that
six hundred persons were killed, one
hundred were made blind and one
thousand others were injured in
handling them on the last Fourth of
July. These casualties suggest SINH
lar action In other States and not
only the sale but the manufacture OF
them should be prohibited by State

SATURDAY, OCTOBER "a, 1908.
Brtersd at tie Postofrce at Accomac U. ID
Va, Is second-clsss matter.

Hon. William A. Jones is reported
to have said in late interview, that
the next candidate for tho United
States Senate from Virginia will be
chosen In a primary and that he
might be in the race with Mr.. Martin
for the Office.
That the people of the State favor
a primary and are determined that
the method shall have a fair trial In
the selection Of all officers, from the
Senator down to Justice Of the Peace,
will hardly be questioned by those
who have watched the drift OF public
sentiment in the matter OF late years
and Mr.. Jones of all others, of course
would be expected to take an active
and conspicuous part in it. The fact,
that the people will have voice IN
the election of United States Senator
being due mainly to him, certainly
more than to any other man In the
State, he is the logical candidate OF
those favoring a primary and should
be In the forefront of the fight for
them-and if willing to lead them the
announcement of his candidacy for
the position Is in order now and
should not be withheld until a later
date. Believing as he does In the
right of the people to select their Of
ffcers surely no one is better qualihed
to make the fight to uphold the pri-
mary plan, or deserves more to pron'
by ii.
II Mr.. Jones enters the race for the
seaatorship and wins in the primary
as he will if Senator Martin is his
only opponent, It goes without say
ing, that Virginia will have In him a
senator recognized generally not only
as one of the ablest men of the State
and nation, but who, in the light OF
his past record, can be trusted to up
hold the good name of the old Com
moovealth and to work in the future
as he has in the past for the best In
terests of all her people. II he Will
allow the people Of the State to speak
for him. we believe, he would not de-
fer longer his announcement as a
candidate for the position.

The News Leader is of the opinion
that the primary plan is geherally
popular in Virginia and here TO stay.
The reports received from thirty-six
county and city chairmen, TO whom
printed lists of questions were sent,
helped that journal to arrive at such
a conclusion and doubtless correctly,
though only one third OF the
counties were heard from. The peo-
pie in different sections Of the State
do not differ materially as to their
notions of ring rule and their right to
have a voice in the selection of their
officers, and the reports received may
be accepted as rejecting generally
the sentiments of the voters through
out the State.
The reports show that the viva
voce method is generally disliked and
there is some objection to primary
in local nominations, but that the
idea of q general primary for the
nominations for State officers and
United States Senators is very strong
everywhere. The plan, of course, is
not perfect nor was it expected to
please everybody, but large ma
iority of the people of the State APP
prove of it, in spite of its defects, and
the News-Leader only voices the
sentiment of the people of the State,
we believe, in saying, "the primary
has come to stay and to grow and to
be generally adopted. Democratic
nominees must be the recognized,
fairly chosen choice of the people.
We do not believe it is possible to
bring about this result with mass
meetings. Everybody with political
experience knows that it is far easier
to pack mass-meeting than to con-
troll primary. What the people de-
mand and the party needs is party
politics which is not controlled"
