CURED to the man Smith that he has
less right here, by Gods grace, than
the Hawaiians have. Being mala-
hini he is probably not aware of the
fact that this country was darn sight
more prosperous before he came here
than it is now, and we firmly believe
that il he and few other knockers
whom we have in our midst were to
set up and get out there would be a
chance OF an Improvement IN our con-
dition through the influx OF more cap
ital and more visitors. His windy vap-

The forcing of General Wood upon
the country as commanding officer
over the heads Of numerous more com
petent men, who have been trained by
the Government to be soldiers, shows
what a little pull with Mr.. Roosevelt
will do. Prior to the time Roosevelt
picked up Wood and used him as a
tool to organize the Rough Riders In
the Southwest, the new General (savs
the mark) was what they call on tho
plains "bull punsher" Incidentally
he made pills for the cattlemen. But
being friend of the freak now In the
White House was sufficient. He had
to be General, and General he Is. In
the meanwhile the people OF the Unit.
ed States suppress smile and prepare
for the election in November.

The Maui News thinks that the H.
cense to practice law should be re.
stored to Judge Humphreys and Geo.
A Davis. The Independent has no
sympathy for the man or men who
robbed old man Sumner, provided he
was robbed. II he was robbed, how.
ever, the community is pretty well
satisfied that the guilty party was
permitted to go free for reasons best
known to the Supreme Court. Two
members OF the Supreme Court start
ed out to stick Humphreys and Davis,
and they carried out their plans. Is
it not about time to order tombstones
for political judges of the Supreme
Court?

The only thing that can be said of
the action of Judge Little in refusing

II PRIMARY.

Some Of our contemporaries have
been referring TO the recent canvas In
this district on the part Of the Demo.
Gratis, as striking argument against the
primary mode Of selecting candidates
for Office. One Of the number insists
that the primary is ia the interest OF
the man IN office a. against the man
out of Office, and in this we think our
brother is in error. The old conven-
ton plan was the finest friend an Sin"
ever took by the hand. The boss"
is always at home in a convention but
is a little lonesome before all the peo-
pie. We deplore in common with 9TH
ers the bitterness that creeps into their
friendly(? tits, and it seems to us en-
tirely unnecessary.
Continued on this line all Democrats
who offer for Office will 20 in or stay
out all besmirched by brother Demo-
Gratis. Why not convert such contests
into an home to home affair and a
bsby.kissing tournament?

to know their wants is to misrep-

NOuthall's Mai0rifY.

The Democratic district committee
Of the Fourth congressional district mel
Tuesday afternoon in Petersburg and
canvassed the returns Of the primary
election held Sept. 8, for the nomina-
ton Of a candidate for congress.
Judge A. d. Watkins, of Farmville
chairman; a. f. Clarke, Of Dinwiddie.
and Robert Gillian, Of Petersburg.
were present.
Congressman r. q. Southall, of
Amelia, one Of the candidates voted for
at the primary, was also present: but
Judge Yarrell was absent. The com.
mittee was in session about two hours.
The missing precincts in the several
counties, with the exception Of three in
Mecklenburg, were received and can.
vassed, and the total vote cast was
found to be; For Southall, 2,24s. for
Yarrell, 1915; giving Southall a ma.
Of 773.
The committee, in the absence Of the
full vote Of Mecklenburg county. did
not give the certificate Of nomination
to Mr.. SOuthall, that gentleman, a. well
the members Of the committee, de-
that the official returns from the
three missing precincts Of that county
should be received before the certif.
be given. To this end, and to give
Judge Yarrell an opportunity to be
present and to have everything regular
and in order, the committee will meet
n Petersburg tonight.
The primary election in this district
showed some interesting features. The
'ote was small aud evidenced great
ack Of interest. Instead of an aggre.
'ate Of about $500, as shown by the Of
icial returns, the full qualified vote. i'll
asst, should have been 10000 or more.
In several precincts in the counties
10 election vas held. In a number of
'recincts n or the other of the can.
received no votes, and in others
My n or two. The home county of
lr. Southall (Amelia) gave Judge Var
ell only five votes; the home county
Judge Yarrell (G%reenesville) gave

HONOREO AGAIN, NOW FOR WORK

Hon. Il. G.. Southall has been again
highly honored 10y the democrats of
this district, and while we know full
well that he is grateful we are going to
begin early by asking him to show that
gratitude by good work. As a people
we have but one harbOr TO deepen, no
pensions to expect, no post Office to
build, not much hope of government
aid to our public road system and all
we can reasonably hope for is the es-
Enlistment Of free delivery routes.

literally honey combed with them, and

DEMOCRATIC EDITORS COMMUNE
TOGETHER.

Five hundred democratic edition.
from different sections OF the country
met in New York last week 10 talk over
the situation. The leading editors OF
all the land were there and what they
had 10 say was worth hearing. OF
course they had to have a banquet and
this was had in the royal bauqueting
hall Of the Waldorf Astoria. Mr.. Wat
ters0n, Of the Courier Journal, was the
principal speaker Of the evening, and
told In telling phrase what he would
do in the present election II he were a
republican and what he Will do as an
American. The editor Of t~he-eading
German paper, Of New York, gave
good reasons why the independent vote
will this time support Judge Parker,
and if it be true that he controls said
vote he will be the next president of the
nation.
On Thursday Of last week the editors
in a body called on Judge Parker at his
home on the Hudson.
Speech making again ruled the hour
and that Of Judge Psrker's defence Of
democracy vs.. r~epublicanism Such
contributions to the campaign litera-

RASH INVESTMENTS.

Safe and sane" business ventures
are at a fearful discount. while the rash
and reckless variety remain ever at a
premium. There isn't a railway sys-
tenn already in touch with Tidewater,
Virginia that hasn't gone into the
hands of receivers, and yet there is
money to be had for the building of
another.
Palatial Chamberlain has never made
but the pitiful sum Ofone thousand dol
lars a year on an investment Of a mil
lion and more, and that only for n
year Of its history, and yet a competi-
tor is to open on the opposite side Of
Hampton Roads aud there will be
money to back the scheme.
The latest venture in the trolley line
for Newport News, Hampton aud Old
Point is being kept on its feet at a
frightful loss Of money month by
month, and yet a lew trolley is point
ing towards old Yorktown, and capi-
talists stand ready to sustain the new
movement. Hotels dot the land over,
few Of them making a dollar, and vet
