A WISE BUSINESS DEAL,

Mr.. James BriRkley q prominent farmer
living near Drivers In Nanesmond county
died recently while i'm the prime of life, and
his Death illustrates forcibly the importance
OF certain precautions in business mattsrs
that men are often likely to overlook.
Nearly all business men, and psrticularl,
men in the busir ess of farming, have plans in
hand at all times that others cannot take M
on the instant and mature successfully. They
must have time to become familiar with
details, and have ready money to cover delay
involved, as well as to continue operations
Mr.. Brinklcy could always command money
needed to tide him over emergencies; but for
his estate to do such a thing is entirely a diff
ferent proposition.
Mr.. Brinkley was always active I'm business
and seldom had a 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 torseen such difficulties and as prudent
business man prepared for them several years
ago 10y taking outa 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 foresaw, worth
several times the amount to his family in the
protection which it Afforded its various
interests.
Upon receipt OF request we will send pam
phlet describing Phoenix policies.

HARD TO HANG A MURDERER.

1t Is undoubtedly true that as
time elapses it is becoming more and
more difficult in the United States
to bring about the execution of Sc
we're penalties as contemplated by
our criminal statutes. Especially is
this true in relation to capital pun
ishment. The machinery of court
proceedings and trial whereby final
lty is given the verdict of "guilty,"
is intricate, slow and often affords
loopholes through which the wary,
astute counsel can point his guilty
client the way to undeserved liberty.
And even though the courts do con-
Wet In proper cases, the instances
are innumerable in which the prison
er becomes the subject of maudlln,
hysterical sympathy, and the benefi
ciary of strongly drawn and numer-
ously signed pardon petitions. 1t is
because so many felons, through
such means, escape the just deserts
of crime, that crime is increasing
England enjoys the benefit of rigidlv
enforced criminal statutes, and it is
for that reason that growing immu-
nifty from crime rather than increase
thereof is year by year being wit
messed within her jurisdiction. The
United States might well learn val.
uable lesson in this respect from the
mother country.-ROunOke ke Times.

A YANKEE RECEPTION.
1t was the privilege of vonr corr

1t was the privilege of your CORES
pondent to attend, as the guest of
Capt. Geo. p. Squires, the 42nd ses-
sion of the l27th Regimental Asso-
ciaion, New York Volunteers, which
met at Greenport, l.. l., on the Sth
Of September. 1t was indeed q
pleasure to me to meet with some of
those old soldiers who stood face to
face with my father in the late war,
and the hearty greeting which /,
as son of Confederate vet
eran, received from them showed
that they loved the South and
her sons today as they do their
own beautiful land. And right here
/ will say that the hearty welcome
which the people of Greenport gave
to us two Virginians will ever remain
in our mind a pleasant memory.
On Tuesday evening some of the
old Regiment, having found out that
Capt. Squires, of Ocran, Va, was in
town repaired to his hotel with the
Greenport concert band and gave
him rousing serenade. He was in
troduced to the audience by Lieut..
JAS. Henry Young, of Orient. Capt.
Squires' replied to their cries for a
speech in a short but pointed talk,
after which he invited the gentlemen
of the band and his old comrades to
a banquet in the hotel, at the con-
clusion of which we had more music
and three cheers for Geo. z. Souires.
We are indebted to one of the gen.
tlemen of the band for his rendition
of "Dixie' which he played for our
special benefit.
The session of the Association was
very interesting, especially the dinner,
which was served In the Masonic
Temple and was thoroughly enjoyed
by all present. At the roll call "a
members answered to their names.
The report Of the financial secre-
tary was very gratifying. Prominent
among those present were: Major
Abbecromby, of Chicago; Lieutenant
Young, of Orient; Mr.. Keenan,, of
Brooklyn; j. ]. Hallock, of Farming
dale; @. j. Vessel, of New York,
and many others. Capt. Geo. p.
Squires, of Virginia, was uuani-
mously chosen President for the next
term, which meets in Farmingdale,
L. l., next September.
We left Greenport Thursday night
after having spent delightful week,
feeling that there was only one place
better to live in. w. l..

JAPAN's SECRET ALLY.

AT certain summer resort a few
days ago number of gentlemen, APP
parently well informed, were discuss
ing the war between Russia and
Japan, which, by the way, is a sub
ject that is discussed wherever two
or three are gathered together. One
of the gentlemen in this particular
debating society" argued that Rus
sia must inevitably win because it
was only ~ question Of time, and a
very short time at that, when Japan g
treasury would be exhausted; his
argument being that no matter how
brave people may be or how nu-
merous their population from which
they may draw recruits, no country
can successfully wage war without
money.
Another gentleman, evidently
equally as well informed, promptly
answered that Japan will never lack
for money with which to wage war
against Russia. Being asked for an
explanation, he recounted in almost
eloquent language the atrocities that
the Russians had inflicted upon the
unfortunate Jews settled and located
in that country. He declared that
he knew whereof he spoke when he
asserted that the Jews of the whole
earth were secretly organized as
Japan's ally and while Jews as
class are not warlike, and it is prob
able, almost certain, that not single
Jew has ever donned a japanese
uniform and entered the Japanese
army as a soldier, the fact is that
millions and millions of Jews all
over the world are furnishing money
for the japanese treasury for the
purpose of prosecuting the war
against Russia. This gentleman
stated that the Jews of the world
were engaged in this business just as
earnestly and transacted it Just as
Systematically as they did their own
private affairs. he further called to
mind that japan has never yet, since
the first intimation of hostilities
against Russia, attempted to float
war loan that was not taken up
promptly but quietly and without
general public knowledge.
This is doubtless true, for if ever
a people had cause to hate a nation
and desire to see it exterminate, the
Jews have right to feel that hatred
for the Russians. 1t has been con-
tended by students of the Russo -Japa-
nese situation that Russia will finally
wear Japan out and the first evil
dence of japanese decay will be the
exhaustion of the japanese treasury.
If it be true that the Jews of the
world are quietly backing Japan in
their own quiet, systematic way, it
will be many long day before Rus
sia succeeds in wearing out Japan

ILLEGAL SALE OF LIQUOR

fixed by law.
This man Thomas lives in a Sec

rylng on of his nefarious trade. His
house is well back from the public
tnoroughfare, with only one imme-
date neighbor. There are four well
beaten roads which lead to his "place

liquor, together with Thomas, to
Alexandria. L. II. Smith, of this

which Mr.. Thomas ignores the law.
and propose to stop it.
The cases referred to in the Begin
ming of this article were all appealed.
1t is stated that Thomas plan is to
either wear them out in court or
have the fines considerably reduced.
We shall see, The evidence against
him is conclusive, and, in addition.
the Justice has one of the bottles of
whiskey purchased. When the mat
ter comes up at the next term we
shall hope to see full account of
the trial In your paper, together with
the names OF the jurors who sit upon
the case.

and three for acquittal. We know
nothing of the evidence in that case.
but do not believe any jury can ac-
quit a man for selling whiskey in
local option district when the whis
Key that he sold is in evidence, and
for that matter do not believe fines
will be reduced either. The proba-
bility is that when all the facts are
known in Thomas case instead of a
reduction there will be an increase.

SOME OYSTER TALK.

The Fishing Gazette, writing of
the prospects in New York, New
Jersey, Rhode Island and Connecti-
cut, says: "The oyster set is here at
last after four years of anxiety. The
oyster has kept up its reputation for
productiveness by giving forth the
biggest set in years. 1t will save
many planter from financial en-
barrassment."
Maryland Chesapeake Bay oyster
planters claim that their crop will
be the heaviest this season, stock re-
ceived thus far being the best speci-
mems obtained in years.
Wilmington, Del, dealers get their
oysters largely from the Maurice
river cove, and when the beds there
have been exhausted the dealers look
to the beds along the Chesapeake Bay
and the Virginia coast for the win tel
supply, says an exchange. These
oysters, according to the old and ex.
perienced fishermen, thrive best when
they lie in the rivers and are covered
with fresh water during low tide
and by salt water at high tide.
Washington is the largest oyster.
consuming city in the world
in proportion to its population
During the past summer the oyster
trade in Washington has been good
practically all of the shell-fish com.
ing from the "planted stock" beds OF
Hampton Bar. The law has no con-
troll over oysters raised by planters
on private beds.
Baltimore is the greatest oyster
market, but all of the sea food of
that variety which goes to the Mary.
land city does not remain there. II
is shipping point second to none in
the world.
