TBIRTY-NINE years ago today General
Lee surrendered at AppOmattox and the
Southern Confederacy, "the storm rocked
nation" fell, carrying in its fall the
hope of establishing an Independent
government of its own, which for over
four long years had been cherished by as
brave a people as ever fought. AT APP
pomattox little band of eight thousand
men, hungry and lily clothed, worn out
with victories, but as valiant as knights
of old, surrendered to magnihcently
eouioped army OF one hundred and fifty
thousand men, and having dispersed,
struggled in twos and threes back tc
their old homes, many of them to ind
but the ruins of what they left when
they entered into the struggle for a cause
they knew to be right. The anniversary
will bring sad memories to those
who recall that trying day-but it is
past, and men who then faced each
other in fierce combat are now
standing shoulder to shoulder in the
work of advancing The common
interests of reunited country and in
dulging at least in the hope that time
at last sets all things even.

THE GOrdonsville Gazette, one of the
Oldest weekly newspapers in that section,
has suspended publication for an indef-
mite period. These are hard times for
newspapers and they are forced to strug-
gle for existence. There was a time
when the sentiment Of community
would not allow its home paper to flag.
1t is not so now. The larger cities enter
into direct competition with nearby
places for newspaper patronage, and the
floating population, that is in no wise
interested in the history of the places in
which their lot may temporarily be cast,
care but little for the home paper or the

Negroes Buying Rifles.

1t was learned in Roanoke yesterday
morning that a shipment Of about forty
Winchester rifles was recently recci we'd
and distributed among rs many negroes
OF Salem, who had organized Il club for
their purchase direct from the factory.
1t is alleged that it was to protect them
selves from any such treatment as that
received by Taylor Fields recently, who
was severely whipped by crowd Of
young men for incendiary and scandalous
utterauces concerning the Shields case in
Roanoke The occasion for this whole
sale purchase of these firearms is said to
be due to the treatment of the negro
preacher Jones, who was run out Of
Roanoke and has not been allowed to re-
turn because of his alleged scurrilous
talk about the Shields case and the IL
hammatory article concerning it recently
published by the Planet, the negro organ
of Richmond.

SATURDAY EVENING. APRIL 9, 1904.

REV. w. KREss delivered an adj
dress on socialism at the missionary con-
ference at the Catholic University in
Washington yesterday. Among other
things the speaker said;
Socialists try to make it appear that
everyone who opposes socialism is not a
friend of the workingman. Socialism is
a religion to its followers, who devote
themselves with fanatical zeal to its
propagation.
In concluding his address Father
Kress said
The policy of standing passively by
with the expectation that socialism Will
wear itself out, seems unwise. Social
ism is not mere fad, or passing craze
It's phenomenal growth in Germany may
be duplicated here. There is only one
force that can cope successfully with the
question. Shortly before his death
Senator Hanna said "The one great
power that will be the safeguard OF our
country when such foes (confscating
socialists and destructive anarchists)
menace her existence, will be the Catho-
lie Church. / am not talking for effect
This is my deep conviction"
Socialism is growing menace to TINS
country, as it is in Germany and both
church and state have for years been
apprehensiye as toils outcome. Believers
in its theories have for long time been
conducting an earnest and effective prop
apanada. The danger presented by
socialism lies in the fact that 1t is liable
to form fusion with other organizations
which take issue on existing conditions.

has to fight against terrible odds, and
