Mr.. Epes Withdraws.
To the Democrats Of the 4th Virginia
District.

To the Democrats Of the Attn Virginia
District:
Under the present system a plurality
could, but when there are more than
two candidates for Congress in the
field, a majority could not, with any
certainty, be ascertained, unless peo-
pie were put to the trouble Of a second
primary election.
There are also discussions within our
party, which, with due respect to 9th
ers, are not in accord with my taste
and judgment.
These and some other features make
il a canvass which / would not ENJOY
and IN which / am unwilling to en-
gage my friends. Therefore gratefully
ask them TO excuse me and respectfully
anHOunce my retirement.

Ext Governor William +. Cameron
and Congressman r. G.. Southall met
IN a Joint discussion at Lunenburg to-
day, which lasted three hours.
Court was adjourned for the occasion,
and at O'Clock the courtroom was
crowded to its utmost capacity when
George f.. Smith, chairman Of the party
introduced the candidates. Mr.. Gamer
on ledoG in an hours speech, in which
he attacked the record Of Mr.. Southall
in Congress, and also in his " coun-
ty. and told his hearers that the record
showed nothing that MI. Southall had
done to merit his return.
Mr.. Cameron then gave a history OF
his own life. in which he said he had
saved the State several thousand do
lars under the Readjuster party, and
continued to fight the Democrats IN or
der that the finances should be i'm
proved.
He told how he had led the party
to victory under this plan, and how he
had recruited the treasury Of the state
during his administration. and his re-
cord rs a Confederate soldier was also
discussed, and, altogether, he made a
good Impression on his hearers. and
when he retired he was loudly cheered.
but not so much so a. when the form
Of Southall stepped fol ward.
Mr.. Southall began by attacking the
past record Of the ex Governor, il
which he asserted that he had for sew

his forces in order that he might de

working in col 1ection with the Repub

D by the ex-Goveino r since the war, u
b which he claimed not M had beel

His record as Governor was also at
D. tackled, in which he charged that h
turned out white trustees in Richmon'
aud put two negroes in their stead. ii
also stated that after the ReadjusteI

r when it became evident that the ne

him the Democrat he il today.
He also charged him with entering

funds could be raised to carry this Stat
as well a. the South, for the Repu

o. Many letters and editorials from di

his charges, and during frequent j

A Turkish Love story.

Do the Turks love their women? Yes,
both in life and in death. Il life, read
the love songs and in de-. b the cpl
taphs to the beloved ones passed to the
silent realm.
1t is true the Turk goes to the Ara
bic, the Greek, the Italian, for love
songs, but he sings these to his lady's
eyebrows, and the story he tells of the
quality of his love rises to the purity
at times of prayer:
One knocked at the beloved'S door.
and a voice answered from within,
WHO is there?'
Then he answered, ut is l."
Then the voice said, This house will
not hold thee and me-"
And the door was not opened.
Then went the lover into the desert,
where there is nothing but Allah, and
tasted and prayed in solitude.
And after a year he returned and
knocked again at the door.
And again the voice asked, who is
| there?'
! And he said, cit is myself
| And the door was opened to him.
