stroyed a valuable plant, 1900 gallons OF
beer and 10 gallons of low WINE. Deputy
Collector G. w Sheek made raid near

of a moonshiue outfit and 80 gallons of
beer. Deputy Collector A. e. Aiken near

Political Chat.

AS the virginian-Pilot has said before,
It takes no stock in the abuse of Hon.
William Randolph Hearst by men who
are no better than he. and probably not
as good as he is. That sort of hypocritical
cant appeals neither to its reason nor its
sense of justice. 1t recognizes, however,
that there are many people who will be
influenced and governed by that sort of
thing, and for that and for other reasons
it is persuaded that Mr.. Hearst is not an
available candidate and that the Demo-
cratic party cannot possibly elect him if
it names him. and that. moreover dis.
astrous campaign under his leadership
would leave the party even more hope
lessly disrupted than did the campaign OF
1S96.-Norfolk VirginianP Pilot.
