 Above all, greater than all. guarding and protecting all and fostering every thing that American patriotism should covet. are the services and devotion to ountry of a sincere people who believe that if their government Is preserved in its simplicity and defended against perversion, It's blessings of happiness, contentment and true prosperity will in bounteous measure visit every corner of our land.

IRON MARKET IS
 STILL VERY FIRM
AS FURNACE COMPANIES ARE NOT WILLING TO SELL AT PRESENT PRICES MARKET SITUATION IS INACTIVE.

The local iron market has been very quiet this week. Consumers are persist ent in their inquiries, but iron makers are holding for higher prices, and transac- tions are few and small. Buyers who are in pressing need of foundry stocks are willing to pay as high as Sl1 for No. 2 but 1t will take more than s11 to tempt sellers to book contracts for 1905.
 Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati re- port of yesterdays date says:
 It does not take the weight of statis- tics to show that the promise of improve ment given three weeks ago has been made good. The direct evidence fur nished by sales and shipments proves that the strength of the situation is be- ing maintained in every direction. It IS becoming exceedingly difficult to obtain figures for this years delivery. This Is especially true of the southern furnaces. In the north there is more chance to cover for the present, but the favorite brands are being held stronger and prices for the first quarter are at de- cided advance. The demand for quota tions on extended business, even to July of next year, Is very strong and increas- ing daily. but the makers are resisting the pressure, preferring to place their trust in the future. Sales of basic have been of unusual proportions and are the features of an interesting week. Other | lines than iron, but kindred to it, have felt the influence and are remarkably strong. It is conceded that at no time this year has the situation appeared from all sides in such a fair light.

Memphis. October 1.-Two worlds rec ords were broken today at the Memphis Driving park. C. K. G. Billings of Chi eago was the driver in each event. Prince Alert and Morning Star, driven to pole, lowered the pacing record to pole for half mile of 1014 by stepping the dis tance in 1:0O94. The Monk and Equity were sent against the trotting record to pole of 2:OS, held by them, and rounded the course in 2:O7%. A high wind was blowing up the stretch. which prevented Dan Patch Major Delmar and Charley Mac. from being sent against time, as scheduled.

What Democracy Pledges.

We pledge to our countrymen through our platform rest genuine prosperity, safety and return to the way marked out by the constitution; and we promise through our candidates that if it is the peoples will, our platform shall be car ried out and that under our governmental management democratic conservatism and care shall rule the national councils to the exclusion of rash impulse and spectacular demonstration.
 ''I desire to congratulate you, my old neighbors, and the citizens of what I love to call my old state. upon the fact that what Alton B. Parker is, and what he represents in the nation. D. Cady Herrick Is and represents in your state. The time has arrived when there Is needed at the head of your state government man as able, as fearless. and as incor- ruptible as I know your candidate for governor to be. Let us hope that the day Is near when all your people having a correct appreciation of the value of free institution which God has vouch- safed to them, and animated by the spirit of true patriotism may see their highest duty in continually guarding and defend- ing these institutions against the decay which comes of neglect, the weakness which comes of undermining materialism and the perversion which comes of diso- bedience to the laws of our national life and health

Mir. Carlisle Speaks.

MT Carlisle spoke a length on the Philippine question and touched upon the subject of the tariff Concluding, he said:
 "And how does the republican party now regard the great services rendered to the country by Mir Cleveland In it's platform and in its candidates letters or acceptance it assails his administration for issuing and selling bonds which ev- erybody knows was the only means by which gold payments could be maintained ar,l the gold standard preserved. In order to disguise the motive of this as- sault 1t states that the bonds were is- sued and sold to procure money to de- fray the expenses of the government. a statement which every intelligent man in this country knows Is incorrect. And one of the first acts of the republican administration which succeeded MT. Cleve- lands was to continue the silver ques- ton agitation by sending a rowing com mission across the sea- to see if the European governments or some of them could not be induced to adopt what they called bimetallsm. That is to adopt two standards for the nation for the same thing at the same time. The mission sailed of course. and then the admins tration abandoned It's efforts to do some thing for silver except that afterwards a law was enacted to coin all the so- called seignoriage-a measure which MT. Cleveland had vetoed while he was pres ident"

Our Home Fire Com pany

The Lexington Fire Company is
made up of the young men of the
town of Lexington, generally the
working class of its people, and
comp )sed mostly of young men
who have passed 81 years Of age,
some slightly over and few under.
This class Of people are the bone
and sinew of any town, their main
stay and reliance in tim es of peril,
as evidenced by their response to
calls ut any and every hour of the
day and night when thr .atened
with disastrous confagration,
and are indeed III irvel Of prompt
ness.
This estimate of them is shared
bv other sections of Virginia.
Four times they have won the State
race and getting prizes of 500
cash, and are now holding the
trumpet of silver, which, if they
succeed in holding the second year,
will be TIERS forever. The world 8
race for $3.50 each time has three
times been won by this company,
which shows their expertness and
proper training. The conditions
are that they must run at least
$50 yards, attach the hose to a
plug So that it will successfully
throw water This has heretofore
required only about 80 to 35 sec
onds, and shows, at best, marvel
Gus discipline but they have done
it, and the makeup of their team
for 1904 leads one to believe that
thty can do it again u. the State
Firemcn's Association, which will
meet in Alexandria Augu.t l7-19
next.
The present team ut the evening
races is composed of % men, but
under the rules it cannot enter the
State contest with more than ID.
The desired number will be re-
tanned by thinning out and the
best kept.

County School Board Will Ask
for School Levies

|
for School Levies
Superintend3 nt Robert Catlett
has called meeting of the County
School Board TO be held in Lex
ington Saturday, July 2Srd.
1t is the purpose of this meeting
to ask the Board of Supervisors to
lay the levy for county and dis
trict school taxes for this year. 1t
has been the usual custom to ask
for these taxes the year before it
was wanted. At the last annual
meeting, at the request of DR..
Johnston, the matter was laid over
until June, 1904, just before the
meeting of the Board of Supervis-
ors required to make this levy.
1t was the idea of DR.. Johnston
that increased taxes was nect ssary
to successfully conduct the schools.
The effort to get bill through
the Legislature asking the Board
of Supervisors of Rockbridge to
add capitatiou tax of $l.OO to be
used exclusively for the county
schools having failed, showed the
wisdom of DR.. Johnston in having
this matter OF more money brought
at once before this board. What
the county board will ask for is
beyond the conjecture of any one,
but they themselves being heavy
taxpayers, the amount will be
reasonable.
Heretofore the county levy has
been 10 cents and the district levy
has been from 4 cents to 10 cents
on the 500 of real and personal
property. Under the old law 10
cents for county and 10 cents for
district purposes, was the maxi
mum limitation.
On May the first, 1904, an entire
board of school trustees for the
several districts was elected. A
number of them have not as yet
seen any school service, but they
are representative men from their
locality, who unquestionably have
the public schools at heart. AS
many alterations have occurred in
the first board since it was nomi-
mated on the 10th of April last,
the following is II complete roster
of those who have qualified and
are ready to enter the work next
Saturday.

RIVERSIDE, July 18-Some wheat
threshing has been done here with
results not very satisfactory. That
portion of the crop cut down by
the fly is, in part. not filed at all,
while the rest is Of shrivelled
quality.
The viewers appointed to locnte
q public road through the lands Of
Mr.. j. j. l.. Kinnear ard
others, did their work on Friday
and Saturday last. They fully de-
cided as to the necessity of the
road, AID after carefully looking
into the pros and cons, fixed upon
a route that is, in their judgment,
the most practical, and will so re-
port.
Mr.. Clyde +. Wilson OF Peusa-
cola, Fla, is spending little va
cation with friends here. A week
hence he will leave for his adopted
home in the Gland of flowers"
Mr.W. A. Kinnear expects about
the middle of September next to
move with his family to Pensacola,
Fla. This change is thought to
be necessary, by those in position
to Judge intelligently, for the i'm
provement of Mr.. Kinnear's health
az we'll as that of several members
of his family. He will hold his
property here and leave things
in such a shape as to return when
conditions are such rs to render
that advisable. He is not inhu-
enced, to any extent, by the pros
pect for improvement from IL money
standpoint, but does look for bet
ter educational facilities for his
children while he may be tempo
rarily there. The wish of all is
that they may soon get expected
benefit from the Southern climate
and saltwater bathing and return
to their home in good health.
Mr.. ii. A. Lackey was quite sick
during a part of last week, but has
sufficiently recovered % go today
to Wilson'S Springs to spend
week or 80. A good many are
looking forward to the enjoyment
of the pleasure of stay at that
long noted health resort.
