WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, w
VA, Aug. 17.-Henry Gassawa,
Davis was formally notified TODAY
that be is the nominee of the Demo.
cratic party for Vice-P President OF
the United States. Mr.. Davis &C.
cepted the nomination in a brief
speech reviewing the political situa.

expressing the determination to be
successful in the campaign.
Congressman John Sharp vii.
liams, of Mississippi, delivered the
notification address. The ceremon.
ies were held on the lawn of the
White Sulphur Springs Hotel, which
sffords a natural ampbitheatre, the
ground sloping up from the speakers
stand on all sides and sheltered by
huge spreading oaks. The day was
an ideal one from every standpoint.
Several thousand enthusiastic
Democrats had assembled from the
Virginias and bordering States, and
heavy trainloads brought others from
distance. Sturdy mouutaineers
came on horseback, on foot and in
wagons with their families.
The ceremonies were marked with
the utmost simplicity. The famous
"Stonewall Brigade" Band of Staun-
ton, Va, organized by General Jack

headed by Mrs. W l.. Peel, ali bear.

Blu RNED AT THE STAKE.

Will Cato, arrested as a principal
in the murder of the entire Hodges
family at Statesboro, Ga, has con-
fessed to the existence of an organ
lied negro band in Bullock county.
whose object is the killing and rob-
bing of white people. 1t is called
the "Beforeday Club" and holds
nightly meetings in isolated places.
Cato names Will Rainey as member
who assisted in killing the Hodges
and 'afterward firing their house.
Other prisoners have given the name
of the ring-leader, and told where
the records of the club, hidden in an
old iron safe, may be found. Search
ing parties are now out.
The soldiers on Tuesday night
were overpowered and Cato and Reed
were ta6en and burned at the stake.
This action was precipitated by the
unearthing of negro malta, or band
sworn to the murder of whites. of
which the unfortunate victims were,
members. 1t was upon their con-
fession that the plot was discovered.

JNO. S. WISE OUT FOR MONEY

Speaking of the suffrage cases and
attack upon our new constitution
Captain Wise says:
''These Democratic papers said
when / took those cases that was
after the fee, aud that when the
money stopped / would stop, too.'
After a moments reflection Mr.. Wise
added: "Well, / guess that ism t
very far wrong. 1 took the cases as a
lawyer for fee, and not through
any mere love for the negro. They
wanted lawyer, and they were en-
titled to employ one, and / took the
case"
Speaking of the deprivation of the
negro of his suffrage, he SAID that
the Republican party was hypocriti-
cal in its attitude toward the negro,
and that Republicans did not love
the negro any more than did the
Democrats.

ONE has been puzzled to know
why wheat has made such majestic
climb at a time when the farmers
bin has not been dumped upon the
market, and in q Presidential year
too. We cannot recall similar con-
diticns in recent years, nor do W.
know that it has ever been the case
that the market has been at high
water mark just at or immediately
succeeding harvest time. The brokers
have not Intentionally done this
thing. 1t is their policy to "bear''
prices down Immediately that har-
vest is on, and not "bull" them up
until all farmers that must of neces-
sity sell have been forced to do so.
The government reports a short
wheat crop-chieily in the west
but this would never account for
dollar wheat in August of Presi-
dental year. So unless it is because
OF the war In the far East we don't
know anything else to ascribe il to

The weak-minded Car has beer
petitioned by the patriotic wisdom
of his country, since the death Of
Minister Plevhne, to organize a re-
sponsible reform cabinet. By such
request it is intimated that Russis
must get out of the old ruts; that as
Siberia is becoming merely a geo.
graphical spot of foul memory sc
shall the persecution of the Poles, the
Fins and the Hebrews and the
oppression of the peasant become
only an unsavory memory. We
are told that Nicholas will not listen
to the wise admonitions and appeals.
But we must not censure the auto.
nation that rules as Gar; he ia
hardly responsible; he is a prisoner
in the hands of feudal and despotic
nobility, and the only hope for re-
formation is for these titled
ssoundreis to fall out among them
selves. The present incident brings
to mind some bible history as to
hehoboam, Solomon's son, who
rejected the counsel of the wise men
and adopted that of the autocrats
with the result that the kingdom
was rent in twain.

Friday. August 10, 1904.

IT is not probable that ten pei
cent. of the people of the United
States sympathize with Russia in
her present struggle, but more than
one-half of our people believe she
will ultimately triumph over the
little brown men. The consequences
OF such result would be stupendous,
and for the sake of Europe and
Americas future peace we may join
IN prayer that all signs shall fail.
Granting that Japan will annihilate
Port Arthur, sweep Russia's Eastern
fleet from the seas and capture Kuro-
Patkin, thus getting Korea and Man
churis, all that she started out for,
this would not end the war unless
the Powers combined to demand
peace, aud such they are not likely
to do.
Russian soil would not likely be
invaded by the Jap. To do SO would
be foolhardy in the extreme. Rus
sian commerce amounts to little, and
the Japanese would have to be con-
tent with holding, as a bandit, the
seas and Asiatic possessions that
Russia has hardly dared claim, all
the while sleeping on arms with one
eye open. When the Slav had bided
his time and was ready to strike he
would be in position to sweep the
brave little brownies from the face
of the earth. Men and resources
would count for everything. These
Russia las, while Japan is putting
her best foot foremost now. All
this, however, is speculation, and we
sincerely hope may prove incorrect.
Let as hope that while Japan's flag
is in the ascendancy Europe and
America may call for war to cease.
Barring this, We can still hope that
the vacillating Gar will assert his
peace-loving proclivities and hurl
from power his strong war-like
ministry; or that internal dissension
may be so grave as to cause the Bear
to sue for peace with foreign foes.
