OF about 10 votes, but 10 was the unex-
pected, on the other hand, which hap
pened when the friends Of Hon. ). NJ
Newhouse succeeded in postponing the
contest for Register Of the Land Office.
The close vote, 80 to 90, indicates that
Col. Jno. W. Richardson, the incum-
bent, has hard fight for reelection
IL is now said that combination has
about been effected between the friends
offs. NJ. Donald, J n. Brenaman and
Col. Newhouse, and that it may re-
suit in the defeat Of Col. Richardson.
Both sides are very active and claim
the victory.
The caucus will be held next We'd
nesday night, and that time success
or 10 the late Hon. j. +. Hubbard,
judge Of the fourteenth circuit will be
selected. The contest has PARTIALLY
n arrowed down between Hon. Manly
H Barnes, of New Kent, aud ex-Sena-
tor ID. Gardiner Tyler Of Charles City.
Both sides issue pamphlets from day
to day, and the contest is growing more
interesting. The United States
Senatorship has some little bearing on
this contest, as Mr.. Barnes is known to
be a Martin man, while Mr.. Tyler is
anti Martin. But this will not affect
the contest except as to some uncom-
mitted new members who may allow
their senatorial preference TO sway
them, as many strong Martin men are
known TO be committed to Mr.. Tyler,
while many anti-Martin men are sup
porting Mr.. Barnes. Those who like |
fair play in politics are glad to see that
this is the case.
The Democratic caucus may have an-
other judgeship to award in a short
while-perhaps before this letter is in |
print-as Judge b. a. Hancock, Judge |
OF the Fourth Circuit, is dying-his
physician says there is no hope for him,
and that the end may come at any
time.
That ugly and unsavory Norfolk
county trouble is likely to bob up in
the caucus at any time; although the
prompt way in which the caucus dis
posed Of the matter, last week, by lay
ing the resolution of Mr.. Stewart
(StraightouD on the table, thus ad-
hitting Messrs. Owens and Parker, the
Fusion Democrats elected from Nor
folk county, to the caucus, indicates
that a majority has but little sympathy
with the dissatisfied Slraightouts.
The feeling between these two fac
tons is intensely bitter, and if the con-
test ever comes before the caucus, it
will undoubtedly be distressingly &C.
rimonlOus. Ii is a most unfortunate
matter, deeply regretted by every good
party man.

GET TOGETHER.v

That was the good sdvice given by 1
leading Democrat 10 all Democrats
and are they acting upon lt2
The National Convention, in its re-
cent session at Washington, gives good
evidence Of genuine good fellowship
and the right sort Of elbow-tOuch. The
majority Of that committee also rallied
about Mr.. German as the man TO lead
the fight, but on that same day the
leading paper of Mr. Germans State
was in state Of rebellion against what
il pleased to call zone man power" in
Maryland, and that one man being
none other than the self-same &C
knowledged leader, Arthur p. German
10y name. So, then, We are threatened
with the anomalous condition Of hay
ing the choiee Of a National COnven-
ton repudiated by the party ofhis own
state. And for what reason? Only
this, the Senator has his choice Of a
man for Senator aud the editor has his
choice. The editor insists that his
choice is that Of the people, and Sena-
tor German may make like claim, with
this advantage that he has recently
been honored with popular endorse
ment, like honor to which the editor
is stranger. Maryland Democrats are
then not hocking together.
In Norfolk Of our own State, Henrico
and Accomac harmony is conspicuous
by its absence. "The Montague Ma
chine" is beginning to be the subject
of sharp criticism as though any poll
tician, statesman if you prefer, Of any
age ever existed minus a machine.
When it gets so that Montague, or q
Capulet, or any mere man in office, and
hoping for promotion, prefers that his
enemy rather than his friend should
be elected to public Office, who, when
in Office, will have a vote rs to the
promotion Of the other, then indeed,
will the millennium have dawned on
US.
Getting together means the burying
Of Ratchet, controlling Of prejudices,
putting bits in the mouths Of personal
and just doing as you
would be done by. Unless the Demo
Gratis Of the nation are willing to do
these things they are not worthy Of
popular confidence. II Senator and
editor Of one small State and brother
Democrats Of the same country cannot
trust each other it is mockery to ask
the faith Of others
This nation needs a genuine Demo-
cratic overhauling, and it remains
with Democrats to say whether this
turning out and cleaning up shall take
place.

GOODS ROADS.

Congress is stirred on the subject and
the storm should never lull until, in its
fury If needs be, it sweeps all opposi-
ton to the improvement OF our public
highways before it. The man who
opposes such betterment Of the most
important Interest Of public movement
cannot be a good citizen.
Brooklyn is Boosting that 5000 new
people will be added to her population
during the present year. Greater New
York will become greater, Philsdel-
phia is making desperate efforts to en-
large her borders, Richmond will
grow, Newport News is eyer expand
ing, and 10 these city efforts at enlarge
ment the Government is always gen
erous contributor, while the country
at large, our own American country,
is not as much pet Of the nation as is
Porto Rico, or far away Philippines.
The cities are already large enough,
now let the country, without which
the cities could not exist much less
grow, have fair chance. How?
Just let Congress deal with it as it has
ever dealt with the cities. The har-
bors Of the cities are made better,
convenient and costly houses are built
IN them, large sums Of public moneys
are deposited in their banks, Govern
ment officials whose duties are dis
charged in them, are paid good and
sufficient salaries, while the country
men are left to work under trying con-
ditions and at starvation wages. This
is no fancy picture, but the fact in all
its details. Let the present Virginia
legislature urge Virginia Congress
men to support the best good roads
bill offered and press it with untiring
zeal and vigor. Away with the non
sense that the Government has no con-
Germ with our public roads. Why not
say that it has no concern with har-
bors, postal routes, irrigation, public
buildings and such like. These are
all worthy national looking after, but
there is nothing more worthy than
our system Of public highways. After
all they are the great arteries Of trade.
Tie them up and the cities perish in
one season.

CAN THE DEMOCRATS ELECT A

With the abve as caption there APP
peared in recent issue Of the Satur-
day Evening Post, a most readable and
instructive editorial.
In 1900 the two candidates for presi-
dent received 447 votes. In 1904 there
will be 476 votes in the Electoral Col
lege, aud the new votes are scattered
among twenty Of the States Of the
Union. The winner next time must
receive 239 votes. OF these, according
10 the writer from whom we are quot
ing, the Democrats are sure Of Isl and
the Republicans Of l59. The Demo
Gratis must then get IS votes in addi-
ton and the Republicans So The real
battle ground is to be found in II

From the Times Herald, Newport
News:
Governor Montague certainly made
no mistake in returning TO good roads
IN his message to the General Assem-
bly,. The State must have them. Why
does not some member earn distinction
Tor himself by making a study Of the
subject and bringing forward a practi-
cal good road bill? The man who
originates a system Of good roads build.
ing in Virginia will live in history. And
yet no member Of the General Assem-
bly, seems to have the ambition TO
make the serious attempt TO originate
such system. 10 is the opportunity of

General Assembly"
There is lot Of good sense expressed
In condenTed form. Now for the legis-
lator who would live with the immor-

Owl Brand For
PLAN s.

If you have watched the tobacco
sales this season you have noticed
that when good tobacco is offered
it brings a good price. 1t is the
medium grades that are cheap.
The reason for this is plain-the
market is flooded with medium
grade tobacco 1t is evident that if
we are going to make any money
in this section we must plant
a smaller crop, fertilize it heavily
and make il better. Ii does not
cost any more TO work an acre of
poor tobacco than an acre Of good.
The first step is 10 have good plants,
and to have them i'm time. The
OWL BRAND SPECIAL seems
To come nearer a perfect food for
plants than any other. This is no
"fairy tale.n Scores of farmers
who Guy other fertilizers for the
crop want Owl Brand for their
plants, knowing it is the best
thing on the market for that pur-
pose.
We have just received a car load
Of 100 10. bags, put up specially for
plants, aud will be pleased to have
your orders for it.
