Endorse Mr.. Braxkon.

The yirripia Society of New York
held its annual banquet Friday night
at the Waldorf-Astoria The feature
of the evening was the address of Judge
G. f. Moore of Coyington, Va, who,
in brilliant and eloquent speech,
launched the boom of Allen Caperton
Braxton forthe vice-presidency. Judge
Moore put forth the claims of the state,
which is the mother of presidents, to
recognition in the coming presidential
campaign and said that Mr.. Braxton
possessed all the qualifications that

that be would add strength to the
ticket, especially in Virginia and the
other Southern States. Judge Moore 3
address was greeted with uprOarions
applause, which showed that the audi
ence endorsed the speakers remarks.
Judge Moore said in part: Virgin.
ians still have material that would
sustain her reputation as the mother
of Presidents. Today there is steady
and increasing demand that Allen
Caperton Braxton he given a place on
the national ticket. He has shown his
capacity for great things, and is Vir
ginia's choice"

A West Virginia Killing.

Grant Cochran shot and killed Lln-
dy Perry near Birds Mill, in Green
brier Co, W. Va, last Saturday.
Cochran was working in his field and
was about to quit for the day when
Perry and two companions came into
the field and went up toward Cochran.
When the men were very close Perry
said you are the man who dubbed me
at the DroOp mountain church, and
with that stepped in front of his COM
panions toward Cochran, who with
drew. About that time both drew
pistols from their side coat pockets and
began firing. The first shot from
Cochran pistol seems to have hit
Perry full in the breast as be threw his
hand to his breast and said, MY God,
I'm killed." He only succeeded in
firing one shot. Cochran fired all in
his weapon and Perry staggered off
about ten OIL twelve feet and fell dead.
Bad blood had been existing between
the parties for some year or more,
growing out of an attempt by Perry,
who when in liquor is known as bad
man., to break up a religious meeting
and Cochran was summoned to assist
in his arrest. Both are unmarried.
Perry was a lumberman and was en-
gagged in saving logs near by. Cochran
is farmer. After the shooting he
gave himself up to the authorities.

Newport News Company TO Build Ships
For Japan.

From reliable source comes the
information that contract has just
been awarded the Newport News Ship
building company for the construction
of four lake submarine boats destined
for service with the Japanese navy in
the war now going On in the far east.
Ship yard officials refuse to confirm or
deny the report, but it is nevertheless
believed that the yard has been rush
ing work on warships contracted for
in an indirect way for the Mikado's
government for some time past. Con-
tracts for building the late inventions
are let by the Lake Submarine Boat
company, hence the transactions,
which, according to the story, have
landed various contracts with the ship
yard recently, were carried on between
agents Of the japanese and the lake
concern. While from the Information
that has leaked out it can only be
stated that four warships have been
contracted for, circumstances never
| theless Indicate that the work has
been secretly under way for weeks
past.

TRYING TO KNOCK OUT THE PRIMARY

Now comes the news again that a
primary election for U. s. Senator is
very unpopular. Whence this news,
and from whose mouth do we learn
this wisdom? If a primary is good
thing in our city why is it not good in
the county? If good for one officer.
why not good for all? Are We again
to hear that rot rung in our ears that
U. 8. Senator should not be chosen
by the people? We thought that the
fool killer had already marked every
victim of that stripe, and of that cali
bre. We thought that he had been
nailed, and so effectually nailed. that
it would never be resurrected, even
for campaign purposes, or under cir.
cumstances of the greatest eXigency.
But just as we were facilitating our
selves on such reality, as we thought,
the same defunct argument appears
again, and from what source? No one
claims 10 he the originator. We are
assured that Mr.. Martin is longing for
a primary, we know Mr.. Montague
wants it. Then why cannot the poll
ticians who do not aspire to this office
let the matter rest where the people
and the Norfolk convention have
placed it? Why resurrect such
corpse? There is a motive, deep
motive, a rather dark motive, we fear.
There are those who know instructive
iy that in a race for U. s. Senator be-
fore the people Mr.. Montague has more
than chance to win, they know that
he is to he dreaded by the opposition
when the people get chance, SO there
is but one thing to do and that is to
deprive the people of voice in the
matter, and thus spike the Montague
guns. The fight is made on him and
We cannot credit MIR. Martins SINGER
ity when we learn that he is for a
primary.

is WRSINlA TO WEAR MANACLES

There are rumOrs current that Vir-
ginia will instruct for Parker. We
cannot credit the statement. 1t may
be true if those who bolted or were
lukewarm in 1896 are in charge of
affairs, but not if the men who were
loyal then have voice now. we nave
never seen bOssism more clearly as
serted than in this campaign. Mr.. d.
B. Hill of New York, has determined
that he will control the situation, and
to this end has brought forward his
sphinx and set him up and comm anded
that we do him honor. No other name
is permitted place, no other man Is to
be thought of. Now whilst MIR. Hill
may be a very good and very able
man, there are many who do not like
him or his methods. He has always
ruled with rod of iron. When be had
power in New Y ork he was more auto
cratic than Caesar, his will was law
and his laws were tyranny. We OF the
State of Virginia are not accustomed
to such bosses. If we have bosses they
must be those we chose ourselves, they
must be of us. not self opiniOnated,
self constituted New York politicians
for who we have all along had little
use, and for the last eight years have
had no use at all. When Mr.. Hill has
his man Parker nominated he still has
him to elect, and he will find some of
those who stood fast when be (HilO
bOlted, boiling when he (Hill) thinks
they should be standing fast. The
measure that he hath melted unto them
shall be melted unto him, the seed be
has sown will yield him an hundred
fold. There are persons in this nation
who can never forget scurvy trick.
Such trick Hill and his cohorts in
the present campaign played the Dem
ocratic party, and it will be strange il
the Democratic party does not pay
him back in kind. 1t would be an out.
rage to turn Virginia over to Hill, tC
pat her in chains and send her thus tC
st. Louis.

DR.. Wentz has been accredited with
the statement that the coroner's jury
which found that his son, whose body
was recently found near Big Stone
Gap, was murdered and that the Jury
had only found suicide to.shield their
friends the murderers. This absurd
and malicious statement he has re-
tracted under fear of civil suits, because
the most respectable persons in that
quarter were members of the jury. But
the evidence all pointed to suicide. 1t
is hard for some people up North to
believe that any man can die a natu-
raj death in the Virginia mountains,
and We suppose 1t is just as hard to
believe that Northern man would kill
anybody, much less himself. There is
a belief or impression existing in the
North that there if the utmost law.
lessness in the mountains of Virginia
and that no man 3 life is safe there.
This is so absurd that we feel sorry
for those who believe the statements.
but there is no driving the impression
out of their minds. We feel sorry for
poor DIR. WentZ. Yet knowing how
many suicides take place, and how
few murders for gain there are in the
Virginia mountains, we believe the
jury came In this case to the only
rational and natural verdict it could
have found.
