A WISE BUSINESS DEAL.

Mr.. James Brinkley a prominent farmer
living near Drivers In sNanesmond county
died recently while In the prime OF life. and
his death illustrates forcibly the importance
of certain precautions in business matter
that men are often likely to overlook.
Nearly all business men. and particularly
men In the busir ess of farming. have plans In
hand at all times that othero cannot take up
on the instant and mature successfully. They
must have time 20 become familiar with
details. and have ready money to cover delays
involved, ~ we'll as to continue operations.
Mr.. Brinkley could always COMMAND money
needed to tide him over emergencies; but for
his estate to do such thing is entirely diff
ferent proposition.
Mr.. Brinkley was always active In business
and seldom had large balance In bank. He
kept his money at work. AS a consequence,
when stricken down by death, business losses
would almost certainly have ensued had he
not forseen such difficulities and as prudent
business man prepared for them several years
ago by taking out policy of life insurance in
the Phoenix Mutual of Hartford. The money
| received from The Phoenix in payment OF this
policy was, as Mr.. Brinkley foresSw, worth
several times the amount to his family In the
protection which it afforded its various
interests.
Upon receipt OF request we will serd pam
phlet describing Phoenix policies.

A colored school has recently been
established near Ozeana. Virgins, known
as the Rappahannock Industrial Acad-
envy. W. o. Bundy, of Tappahannock,
has been appointed principal. The first
session opens October Is. 1908.
The verdict of that Falls Church jury
goes far to show that there Is no pre-
jrdice sgsinst the negro In Virginia. A
colored boy, pranking with q gun, shot
and Instantly killed white girl fourteen
years old. The coroner held an inquest
on the body Of the deceased and o YER
dict Of accidental shooting was rendered,
and the boy goes free. Ifthere had been
the hatred to the negro, Is many ignor-
ant people on that subject claim, the boy
would probably have been placed upon
trial for his life, but instead he was
exonerated.

SOME sTEAMBOAT TALK.

SOME STEAMBOAT TALK.
For some weeks the steamboats, to
and from Baltimore have been lit.
Sc lase on their schedules, and this
has given rise to conjectures and
comment. A representative of the
CITIZEN has made diligent inquiry,
and as result finds that excessive
freights have been the cause of
delays. The freights have been alb
normal, arising largely from the fact
that the demand this season for cans
for the tomato factories is two or
three times as great as heretofore.
Until this season most of the emp.
ties and many of the packed cases
had been transported by sail vessels,
but this year the steamers have un-
expectedly been called upon to carry
them. Efforts to accommodate the
Gamers have put the Weems Line
people to hard task, but they have
managed, we believe in q large meas.
ure, to accommodate the Gamers,
though they had no warning of the
demand that would be made upon
them. We learn that an extra
steamer. the Essex, has recently been
put on to help the congested condit-
ion, and while there is not sufficient
excess of freight to load her and
pay her expenses 1t is the intention
of Dir. Williams to keep her there un-
I'll the situation eases mp.
