STILL MORE FIRES,

The lumber mill of Salisbury &

in Portsmouth, was destroyed by fire;
loss, $4,000.
A small tenant house on the prop.
erty of Miss Emily @. Moon, near
Bundick, Northumberland county,
was recently damaged by fire. Dam

Neck Mutual Fire Association, of

What, but for timely discovery,
would have resulted in the loss of

the accidental burning of the fire.
board. The flames were early dis
covered by a domestic and extin-
guished before damaging anything
else. The property is insured in our
Home Mutual Association.
The barn and fodder of Mrs. EN-
ma Davis, relict of the late Will
Davis, near Weems, Lancaster county,
were totally destroyed Friday after
noon last. Corn and vehicles were
saved. Loss about $500; no iusur-
ance. The fire was started by a
three-year-old son of Mrs. Davis, who
is said to have innocently lighted
the fodder to see it burn. The poor
little fellow was almost hysterical as
a result of his act.

SCHOOL BOYS STRIKE

One hundred and twenty-five boys,
the whole Junior class of the Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute at Blacks
burg. have resigned and all will leave
for their homes.
The trouble is the expulsion last
week Of Boiling Coulter, of the Junior
class. The crime was the suspension
on an electric wire near the parade
grounds of a stuffed uniform labelled
81. S. A" These are the initials of
the commandment of cadets. The
boys held that the matter was only q
piece of fun, bus the faculty con.
tended that to hang an officer in
etiigy was serious matter.
The Juniors notified the faculty
that if Coulter was not reinstated
they would resign Monday. They
kept their word. Among the cadets
who have left are boys from all over
the State. Several have left or been
expelled prior to this aud the school
has been considerably reduced.

The ice situation in upper Chesa-
peake bay is growing worse, and if
the freeze continues many of the
steamships will be crippled as they
were last winter. No vessel has
reached Port Desposit or Havre de
Grace since last Saturday. The
Susquehanna river is tightly frozen
up. The Weems Line has been
forced to drop Bristol from its ship

SOME PRESS NOTES

We would extend the compliments
of the season and best wishes for a
successful future to the Mathews-
Gloucester Tribune, which enters
upon its second year.
The IIdeaodter Democrat, A. ID.
Latane, editor and proprietor, came
out last week with "a Plain Talk"
that had lots of wisdom IN it.
Papers have struggled for existence
in Essex county for a quarter Of q
century, but that otherwise public.
spirited people have fallen short in
giving proper support to local
paper. The Democrat seems to bt
weathering the storm pretty nicely.
is doing untold good to the county
in the way of advertising it and
keeping it abreast of the times, and
it behooves the people of the county
to stand staunchly by their locaI
organ.
At the Cooperative Education
meeting in Norfolk last week among
the addresses was one by w. S. Cope
land, editor of the Times Dispatch
on "The Press and the Public
Schools" Mr.. Copeland spoke Of
the Press as essentially part of the
public school system and declared
that model newspaper was travel
ing schoolhouse, peripatetic school
master. He then save a hurried
review of the history of newspaper,
ing, showing that while there were
publications even as early as the days
of Rome, the real newspaper was 8
thing of comparatively recent date
One fact of history mentioned which
will doubtless interest the brethren
of the press was that during the
reign of George III the first attempt
at Parliamentary reporting was re-
sented by the House of Commons a;
a breach of privilege. He said, and
quite truly, that the people of that
day and generation were afraid OF
publicity as they are in this day and
generation.

WE ARE not so sure that Senator
Platt is a great enemy of the South
after all, if his introduction of a bill
to reduce representation be taken as
a criterion. From one point of view
he effectually stops radicals ike Crum-
packer and Lodge from carrying out
their vicious ideas, and at the same
time the bill will hit Massachusetts,
and other northern states, so it is
safe to predict that southern repre-
sentatives will not be left single
handed to fight the battle. A very
shrewd counter-move has been sug-
gested by Virginians and other
southerners. The enactment of the
bill would take nineteen Congress
men from the South, two of them
from Virginia. The retaliatory
measure talked of from Virginia will
be to redistrict the State in such a
manner as to cut out Virginia's only
Republican Representative, who rep
resents the Ninth district. II the
State is divided into eight districts
the Democrats will find a way to so
distribute the various counties that
all eight Representatives shall be
Democrats. With this avowed pur
pose throughout the South we think
the Republicans will be inclined to
abe good"
