600 to 5000 and McLane, Republican,
for governor, is elected by at least H..
900.

coL.o'FERRALL WRITES A BOOK
Il Reeounts Dramatic Events in the
Career OF the EK- Governor.

During the spare moments offered by
his legal practice. Col Charles L. O'Fer-
rail-. former Governor OF Virginia, politi-
clan, Judge and Confederate veteran, ha.
written book that will prove one oil
the most valuable and entertaining rec
ords OF Southern history during the past
half century ever issued from the press.
Several Northern publishers have indi-
Gated a wish to issue the volume. The
president OF one concern paid a visit to
Richmond to see Col 0'Ferrall concern
ing it. L. il understood that an insp
tion Of the manuscript caused him To be
quite enthusiastic over 1t, and he gives
the very highest praise. both TO The sub
ject m after and to the style In which 1t is
handled.
Up 20 this time the book has no name.
The title will be the thing last TO be con-
sidered. The character OF the work,
however, may be indicated by the state
ment that 1t is made up OF "reminiscences
and recollections spanning more than
thirty years, and touching some OF the
most dramatic aud important scenes
and events during that period.
The record begins with the raid oI
John Brown at Harper's Ferry, aud con-
tinues until the year In which Col d Fer
rail- left the gubernatorial chair OF Eir-
Qinia. There is no romancing or hap
hazard guessing. O'Ferrsll states only
those things be witnessed or participated
in, or was in such intimate cOntart with
as to become possessed OF first hand
knowledge.

Sellinu Their air.

An idea OF the war expenses upon the
japanese people may be gained from the
fact that Japanese women are selling
their hair in order to get a little addition
to the family income. This fact is reveal.
ed By the records of the u s Treasury
Department, which show that since the
outbreak OF the war and the imposition
OF additional taxes the imports OF human
hair from the island empire have greatly
increased The increase has been so
great that the invoice price, "a shown in
the reports made TO the appraisers, has
fallen considerably. These two facts
caused an inquiry to be made. with the
result that the agents Of the department
were told that Japanese women are sell.
ing their hair for the purpose of increas
ing the family income, and some Tor the
purpose OF adding the money they get
from the sacrifice to the popular sub
scriptions for the army and navy. Even
rich women are said TO be making the
sacrifice OF their long black coils, oi
which they are so proud. The demand
for Japanese hair In this country comes
from those dealers who make specially
of supplying the hair stores patronized
by eolored women.
