Mr.. Anderson as member OF the

heat of the canvass, goes back on his
own record, changes front, and
declares his conversion, to the single

more than another on which / chiefly

upon the high sense of fairness and
justice to all sections of the State,
which should actuate the Democrats
of Virginia, in making party nomina-
tons. Under our new constitution.
we elect seven State officers by direct
vote of the people. Mr.. A. w. Har-

for more than twenty years having
no opposition in the primary, is now

institution aud acquaint himself full
ly with its administration and its
needs. This is duty the governor
owes the state, which few have per-
formed with any degree of thorough
ness. He should visit them nn-
heralded and see them in their every
day dress. 1t is safe to say that if
the governors Of the past had gained
thorough information in this way,
many abuses and not little graft
would have been stopped or prevented.
Another striking feature of Mr..
Swanson's presentation was his plan
to develop the resources of the state.
If elected governor Mr.. Swanson
promised to see that the great powers
of the corporation commission were
used to the utmost for the develop
ment of Virginia's resources -Staun-

dollar of his money was wrenched
from the widow and orphan, vet
when he endorsed for James L. Law
Ter he was trying to help another
oppress women and children. The
Bible tells us, "Ye cannot serve God
and mammon."
There should be no such thing as
a Lee and Lewis faction in the little
county of Lancaster. 1t is the duty
of every citizen to think for himself
and cast his ballot for that man that
he honestly believes will best fill the
Office. Let us hope for the return of
the days of Washington.
Some one has asked me, "Why are
you so strong for Swanson? Pray,
what axe have you to grind?" This
shows the narrow -mindeduess of the
mamie Is confessirg that he only
helps those whom be expects to help
him. | am glad to tell you plead
for the youth of our land. What is
the use of educating our children if
money is always to be king? Not
long ago a young man who was pms
sessed of good looks and family
pride told me that "you couldn't be
anything in this country unless you
were rich and educated" Look at
Swanson, possessed with the same
God-given brain and the same oppor-
tunities that you have, you will soon
find him ably filling the Governors
chair, as he has done all other posi-
tions entrusted to him.
Old Confederate soldiers, you who
have been brave on all other battle
fields, help the deserving Young
man to rise in your midst, and as he
is honest. he will weigh matters in
the old fashioned balance, and what
ever be deems best for the State of
Virginia will he done.
We duu't want the tip of the fin
gers, or the formal bow, but we want
the hearty grasp with the whoe

He has stamped Excelsior" on his
banner; and the "Fates" seem to be
helping him to reach the Star.

AN IDYLOF LIFE.

The morning breezes softly Groom
In whispering through the somber pines
From purple dawn to burning noon
A song with oft repeated lines
ITO her who loves more than the rest
or all the world he loves you best"
And to maiden, winsome, fair,
The wind its whisper soft has blown
For there's message In the air,
A truth that she so long has known
A truth that she SO long has guessed
: OF all the world he loves me best"
A toiler meath the FURNISHED sky,
In bending DER the ripened grain,
Heard as the zephyrs whispered by
And softly hummed the sweet refrain
Till low the sun sank in the west
"Ot all the world 1 love her best
AT twilight's dawn. when from afar
On man and maid whose love wss true
There dimly shone the evening star,
Then came the whisper, soft, anew,
As to bis lips her hand he pressed
"Ofall the world love you best"

Virginia needs, and has needed for
several administrations, a strictly bus
iness governor, who has broad views
of the states need, and the initiative
to supply these needs. Each of the
candidates for the democratic nomi
nation recognizes this need, and each
is appealing for votes on his fitness
for practical governor; and it must
be said that each makes a pretty
plausible presen tation of his case.
Mr.. Swanson who spoke here few
nights ago made very fine impress
sion on his audience in this particu-
lar as he did also in general.
AS to the state institutions which
absorb the greater part of the states
revenue next to the state debt, Mr..
Swanson said if elected governor it
was his purpose to visit every state

PERSONAL NOMENCLATURE.
Ancient Names and the Modern sys-
tenn of SurnRmes.

Neither Hebrews, Egyptians, Assyr'
ians, Babylonians, Persians nor Greeks
had surnames, and in the earliest peri
od of their history the same may be
said of the Romans. In course OF time,
however, every Roman citizen had
three names the praenomen, or per
sonal name; the nomen, or name Of the
gems or clan, and the cognomen, or
family name, as Publius Cornelius Scip-
10. Conquerors were occasionally COM
plimented by the addition Of a fourth
name. or agnomen, commemorative Of
their conquest. as Publius Cornelius
Scipio Africanus.
1t is impossible to state with any de
gree of certainty when the modern
system of personal nomenclature be
came general. 1t has been stated that
the practice of sugnames began in Nor
mandy and extended to England after
the Norman conquest, but document
in the Cottonian MSS. quoted in Tur-
ner's History of the Anglo-SaNons'
contains reference TO Hwita Hattie, II
keeper OF bees in Hathfelda; to Tate
HATTIE, his daughter, mother of Wul-
sige the Shooter, and Lulle Hattie, SIS
ter of Wulsige. The date of these rec
ords of the Hates is not to be ascer-
tained, but they were certainly written
before the year 1865. So far as anti
quarians have been able to discover,
HATTIE is the first surname whose exist
ence can be traced in England. 1t Is
not improbable that the founder of the
HATTIE family was so called because of
some unusual or noticeable headgear
that he. was in the habit of wearing.

Ventriloquism was undoubtedly
known both to the Jews and to the
Egyptians. 1t was used by many per
sons for purposes OF deception. The
wizards who employed it declared that
their familiar spirit" resided in the
abdomen, whence the voice was sup
posed TO proceed. The Old Testament
Scriptures abound with denunclations
both of persons who had these IA
mlliar spirits and of those who went
to seek theic advice and assistance.
They were treated as though they were
in familiar intercourse with the evil
one and according to Jewish law re
eeived no mercy. Instances, however
are very frequent in much later his

CHURCHES AND OUTLAWS.
Ancient Laws That Gave shelter and
Protection to Criminals.

In early times, when life and prop

Tended sword IN hand, the church Of
fered shelter and sanctuary to those
who had occasion to fear the arm of
the law. la the middle ages whoever
crossed the threshold of church was
considered under divine protection and
could not be arrested, while several
churches and cathedrals still preserve
the knockers used by those who had
fled thither for shelter and claimed ad
mittance. In some buildings the fugi

extending from the year l464 to the

crimes. 1915 murders and homlcides, IN
which 2S3 persons seeking protection

sanctuary by force was in those days
very serious matter, and when the
