SAY IT WAS MONEY
THAT BEAT WYSOR
Democrats Believe Their Gallant
Leader the Victim Of Slush
Fund.

There is a great deal of speculation as
we'll as a feeling of widespread regret
among the Democrats of Virginia concer
ming the almost brutal defeat Of Hon.
Joseph G. Wysor for Congress in the
Ninth District by Colonel Campbell Slemp,
but those who ought to be familiar with
the situation are clearly of opinion that
money had more to do with the result
than any other one cause.
Said one gentleman, who is himself q
Democratic voter in the district:
"The Republicans were openly offering
as much as $40 vote in my county. Our
people had no money, and if they could
have gotten it, they dared not spend it
under the Barksdale law"
1t has been suggested that Mr.. Wysor
was knitted because of the alleged unpopu-
larity Of proclsiming the Constitution, but
as matter of fact he bitterly fought pro-
clamation and is upon record as having
said on the floor that he would despise
any organic law, however good, which
was not approved by the people Of the
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1904-11-17

THE JACKSON'S
GIVE UP
They we're forced by Cold and Hunger
to Surrender 10 Officers.
ELUDED POSSE AND DLOODHOUNDS
They were Taken to Charleston by a
Roundabout way to Prevent LYnching.
And immediate Hearing is COnsld-
cred Unsafe.

Charleston, w. Va, Nov. 14.-Edward
and George Jackson, ithe two brothers, of
Montgomery, for whom rewards have
been offered by both State and county
authorities, surrendered yesterday and are
now in the county Jail at Charleston. The
men had been secreted in an abandoned
coal mine just outside Montgomery, and
were driven to surrender by hunger and
cold. Word was sent to Montgomery by
a mountaineeer, and on arrival of Squire
Davis and a constable the men gave them
selves up without a struggle.
Stree the shooting of Sheriff Daniel
Thursday, and their subsequent disap-
pearance, the men spent the time in the
coal mine, secreted from their pursuers,
and the bloodhounds were put on their
track. During this time they were with
out food and drink. The officials took
the men around the town of Montgomery
and by roundabout way brought the
prisoners to Charleston to avoid a riot or
lynching, which would have evidently oc-
Cured had the citizens of Montgomery
discovered that the Jackson brothers had
been apprebended. There are now six
prisoners implicated in the Montgomery
shootings in the Charleston Jail. 1t is not
considered safe to hold the hearing of any
of them at the present time.
Rewards sggregating S2,500 had been
offered for the capture of the Jackson
brothers. Despite the fact that 8 posse or |
detectives have been securing the sur
mountains of Fayette county
every hour since the shooting the two
men evaded capture by concealing them
seyes among the abandoned coal mines of
Morris Creek, almost within sight of the
town of Montgomery.
As was freely predicted, they waited
until the excitement following the tragedy
had subside1 and then surrendered. They
are now in Jail, where are also two more
of the Jackson brothers, Ernest and John,
who are held for assisting in the escape of
Edward and George.after the shooting and
for melting riot. All is now quiet at

Education and Training.

We cannot agree with the Richmond Times
Dispatch in it's sadly expressed conviction that
"most white people in the South, and for that
matter in all sections, are opposed to educating
the negro" Perhaps if we should substitute the
word Strain" for "educate," the folly of that view
would be apparent. There is an unmistakable re-
action, North and South, against the teaching of
Latin and Greek and the ologies to a few negroes
while the vast mass are being left wholly un-
trained. But the trouble is not with the fact of
education, but it's methods. The trouble again
is that the Southern white people have left to alien
or ignorant minds the methods of education while
pouring out their millions of money for going
merely through the form of education. Education
is that which shall best fit a man for the best work
that is in him to do. It ought not to mean Latin
and Greek for the average negro now. On the
other hand, it should not be limited exclusively to
the training of the hand, for industrial education
should necessarily have some groundwork of COM
mon school education underneath it. But we be-
lieve that the people who are controlling and will
control public sentiment in the South, whether
now in the majority or minority, believe in edus
cation for whites and blacks, and for finding out
the best methods and kinds of education for all.

Travel.

1t sometimes seems that the luxury of going
somewhere is made to overbalance the joy of being
in places. Travel is often mere gadding from
place to place, and your tourist a person who
travels, as on a wager, to see how many towns he
can visit in the least possible time. The wise man,
however, will avoid such mistakes, and will go to
new countries or new sections Of his own to OBJ
serve manners and customs. 1T is not paradoxical
to say that we travel in foreign places that we
may know ourselves and our own ways better.
To see great buildings and monuments, to observe
methods of work, to see how the other nations
sleep and eat and take their amusements-these
are valuable for comparison. By knowing what
others do we may improve ourselves. We may
read from breakfast to bedtime, but the informa-
ton is secondhand. What one learns by experience
he remembers. And so we are glad that travel
has been made easy, and we urge people to see as
much of the world as possible.
But if modern travel is luxurious, it is a great
mistake to suppose that travel IS only for the
wealthy, and that it is only profitable when taken
on a velvet cushion. A man may see the best
part of life and of nature at very small expense.
Going abroad nowadays costs little If one is not
too vain to take modest accommodations on car
riers and at inns; while journeys on bicycles or
afoot, besides being cheap, place one in touch
with the people as nothing else can. Yet one does
not have to go abroad to see the world. Gilbert
White was a wide traveller in a parish; Thoreau
scarce went out of New England. Some of the
most stimulating travels are made near home.
If you cannot go to Europe, at least see a large
city or two in your own land. If you cannot,
do this, walk into the next county or take a boat
down your own stream. There is so much worth
seeing on the earth that every part of it, however
poor and however seemingly commonplace. holds
many treasures for the properly prepared mind

Bravery and Cowardice.

Am I a brave man, or am I a coward?
IF brave, to what extent, in what direction?
For instance, does my courage extend to the
point of telling the truth when / lose advantage
by such a course; or, do / prove myself a liar
through cowardice?
If I see a fellow-man drowning, an I sufficiently
brave to risk my own life in his rescue?
If I am in a society where an opinion that /
hold to be based on truth is vigorously denounced,
have I the courage to defend it?
Or do I stink Stink is a very good word, though
not a very nice one. It is not pleasant to imagine
oneself as a slinker.
And if a fire were occurring in the adjoining
house, would I be willing to incur the risks of suf-
location in order to rescue a woman who might

For it is said that Themistocles was so trans
ported with the thought of glory, and so infamed
with the passion for great actions, that, though
he was still young when the battle of Marathon
was fought against the Persians, upon the skilful
conduct of the general, Miltiades, being every
where talked about, he was observed to be thought
full, and reserved, alone by himself; he passed
the nights without sleep and avoided all his usual
places of recreation, and to those who wondered
at the change and inquired the reason of it, he
gave the answer that "the trophy of Miltiades
would not let him sleep."-From Plutarch's Sketch
of Themistocles.

disturbed by argument, am I of that mental cali

AGRICULTURAL FEATURES OF THIS NUMBER

We are sure that the article Money in Cow
Pea" which we are printing on page 1 contains
many practical suggestions of unusual value, and
we commend it to our readers. AS Mr.. Shuford
says in a private note accompanying the article:
"There is a growing demand from other parts of
the country for North Carolina cow peas, and If
our farmers will study the wants of the different
markets and the varieties they prefer, it will mean
much money for u.s." Cow peas almost invariably
bring good prices, and the fact that Mr.. Shufords
company alone has shipped from 10000 to $4,000
bushels this season will give an idea of the grow
ing Importance of the industry.
We know nothing of the horse-1y remedy re-
ported by Mr.. Todd, but it is worth trying. We
should like to have reports of farming conditions
in every part of this and adjoining States similar
to that of "Knox All" on page 1. We are also
always glad to receive reports from farmers who
have tested anything of value to other farmers,
and we thank Mr.. Learned for his contribution.
President Adams appeal to tobacco farmers will
interest the growers of the weed. We observe
that meetings in two or three tobacco counties
are called for this week.
On page 2 "Farmer" makes some interesting
suggestions in regard to cooperative cotton
seed oil mills and guano factories. A further dis
cussion of these topics would be helpful, and re-
ports from any such enterprises already establish
ed would be especially appropriate. Cut-worms
give trouble to gardeners everywhere, and Mr..
Sherman's paper on this pest will be read with
much interest
DIR. Burkett discusses hay harvesting this week.
Farmers would do well to file away these articles
on Feeding and Management of Live Stock" for
future reference. Mr.. W. L. Womble submits
some excellent suggestions in the management of
bees, while Mr.. Parker's advice as to the care of
the team are equally good from the standpoint
either of humanity or proft-making.
Next week we shall print an unusually strong
article, "The Agricultural Opportunity of North
Carolina" by Mr.. VIM. Kerr, a graduating grafton
at the recent A. & M. College commencement.

PRIZES OF THE BRITISH BAR,
High Salaries and Large Fortunes Are
the Rule.

High Salaries and Large Fortunes Are
the Rule.
The Lord High Chancellor of Great
Britain is second only in position to
the Archbishop of Canterbury, and he
enjoys an income of E10, 900 a year..
The Lord Chief Justice of England has
a salary of $4,000 a year. The Mas
ter of the Rolls has a salary Of $4,000
a year., and the Lords of Appeal in Or
binary have the same. The lord JUS
tees of the Court of Appeal and the
judges of the High Court earn $4,000
a year each. The masters of the High
Court are chosen either from barris-
ters or from solicitors, but all the
other officeholders to whom we have
alluded must have come from the bar.
The Attorney General makes much
more money than any of these digni-
taries. His salary is only $1,000, but
he has fees as well, sometimes to a
very large amount. The Solicitor Gen.
eral has $4,000 a year besides his
fees. OF course, the double work, le-
gal and parliamentary, which these

and a mind that requires, but little
time for rest. The private practition-
ers in some few cases make larger in
comes than any of the official persons
at the bar. It is not, indeed, many
who make salaries Of five figures, but
there may be always one or two lead
ers who are achieving this. The lead
ers who are chiefly before the public
in ordinary cases do not often make
more than from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year. Larger fortunes are frequently
made by men who specialize in pat
ent cases., who are engaged in rating
appeals and compensation work, or
who practice their profession at the

OF Wide Interest.

Breed, Wis, July 1S.-Special-
Charles Y. Peterson, Justice of the
Peace for Oconto Co.. has delivered
a judgment that is OF interest to the
whole United States. Put briefly, that
judgment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills are
the best kidney medicine on the mar
ket to-day"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason
for this judgment. He says: Last
winter / had an aching pain in my
back which troubled me very much.
In the morning I could hardly straight
en my back. I did not know what it
was, but an advertisement led me to
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After taking
one box l can only say they have done
more for me than expected, as feel
as we'll now as ever did before"
Pain in the back is one of the first
symptoms of Kidney disease. If not
cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may
develop into Bright's Disease, Dia-
betes, rheumatism or some of the
other deadly forms of Kidney Disease.
