The Future of Cuba.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
A close and competent observer of
Cuban affairs once said that Cuba will
be annexed to the United States piece
meal" 1t begins to look as though this
prediction would be fulfilled. Land is
being bought in large and in small
tracts. The frozen orange and pine
apple growers of Florida are turning to
frostless Cuba as better field for their
enterprises. Tourists flock to the ISL
and in thousands, and goodly number
buy enough of the island to enable them
to remember that there is such place.
Neither the tourist nor the settler
sees anything in insular sanitary condi-
tons to brighten him away. The Cuba
of 1910 will be the home of many an
American settler, and it promises to be
somewhat of a Winter Mecca for Amer
lean travellers. Cuba is both pleasure
resort and health resort, and Ameri-
can people are rapidly coming to an ap-
probation of the fact.

A Remarkable Comb,

When King Edward made his famous
Indian tour as Prince of Wales, the ra-
jahs We'd with each other in laying the
choicest productions of their native arts
at his feet. One Of the most interesting
specimens he brought home was hair
comb of ruby and emerald Jeypore en-
ameled, pointed in gold, and surmounted
by a curved row of large pearls, each
pearl topped with a green glass bead.
Superb in design, it is one of the finest
pieces of Indian jewelry made in modern
times-but one marvels to see ordinary
glass set with gems of such price. No
one has given a satisfactory explanation
of this. The glass happened to give the
tone desired, better than the emerald.
Perhaps this was the reason for the use
Of the baseF material.

GOOD ROADS.

The subject of good roads is now
more generally enjoying the attention
of the citizens of Virginia and of peo-
pie all over the United States than was
ever known before. A Good Roads AS
ISOLATION has been formed in this State,
the purpose of which is to further the
good roads" movement. A temporary
bureau has been appointed with rep
resentative in each Congressional Dis
trict.
The question of good or better roads
has been so often discussed in the press
of this county that our readers may be
reluctant to read anything that is now
written by us or others on the subject.
But interest in any great public need
should never be destroyed upon the idea
that it has grown thread-bare. One of
the great needs of this county, as well
as many other counties in the State, is
better roads. This is admitted to be
true by every intelligent citizen. Every
body wants good roads but very few are
willing and anxious to be taxed to OBJ
tain them. No good public improve
ment can be made without generous
expenditure of money, and that expen-
diture cannot be made without it is
placed in the public treasury.
If we are not mistaken, the signs OF
the times indicate that the road ques-
ton will be very prominent one before
the next General Assembly of Virginia.
The candidates of the dominant party
for State offices recognize this fact and
they are making haste to let their views
on the question be known. 1t is likely
to figure in the election for members of
the Legislature, and our people ought
to be giving the matter careful consid-
Grafton. 1t may be found necessary to
have some special legislation for Taze-
well county, so that the building Of
new roads and the improvement of the
old ones may be carried out. If no
general law is passed by the Legisla-
ture that will meet the needs of this
county, then, we ought to havea special
law. There ought to be a hundred
miles or more of macadam road built In
the county, and some way ought to be
devised for accomplishing that end,

The New Ship of the Desert.
Baltimore News.

Baltimore News
When General Kuropatkin started for
the front he included in his equipment
an automobile, and between battles he
used the car to make hurried inspec-
lions along his lines. In European cities,
notably in Germany, automobile en-
gines, hose carriages and trucks dash to
the alarm box. That the motor car
should be used for the rapid transit re-
treat of Russian general, or that the
auto should supplant the spirited horse
of the fire department, is hardly re-
markable in these Aladdin-like days;
but when the Cairo correspondent of
the London Globe writes that the Sir
dar of Egypt is making his rounds on
the Sahara behind Chauffeur in his ton
neau, science again makes US higher
critics when we contemplate Solomon's
dictum of nothing new under the sun,
The Sirdar has been dashing along the
border of the desert in his touring car
for some weeks, and now he is busy
fashioning wide fiat tire that will
cross and not sink in the sand-swept
plain.

The est.Acqualnted Quick Evil
Louisville Herald.

LOUISVILLE heIuiu.
For the multiplicity of divorces the
get-acquainted-quick is largely respon-
sible. That evil consists in the inexcus-
able facility with which young women
are nowadays permitted to make the ac-
quaintance of men of whom they know
little or nothing. A beautiful daughter
is family IS richest possession. Father,
mother and brothers lavish kindness on
her. Friends rejoice in her society. She
is treasured because of what she is and
because of what she may become. But
is every care taken of this jewel? If a
man ask her father to indorse a note,
cash check, advance loan, the parent
becomes, and justly so, very wise. He
won't let a stranger have his name or
his coin without satisfactory proof that
the stranger is all right.
With the daughter it is often very
different matter. The father tacitly
leaves the daughter to his wife's care.
The latter sometimes thinks that her
husband is keeping close watch over
their beloved child. Between both fool
ish parents the girl is left to her own
care. Now every young woman natur-
ally desires the association of young
men. Left to themselves girls are ex-
posed to many dangers in making choice
of male acquaintance and companions.
The masher is ever ready to force him.
self into the attention of the beautiful
and unsophisticated young woman. He
can be very mice" at the right time to
please the lady. Once recognized ne is
constant in his devoirs. In time he is
asked to the young woman's home. The
latter has given an excellent account OF
him, based on his own stories, to father
and mother. They believe their
child. She herself believes what she
tells them. Courtship and marriage fol
low. Soon after the wedding daughter
and parents find that the adventurer
has gold-bricked them all. A beautiful
young life is Swallowed if not ruined for

A Great Revival.
Richmond News l eader.

Richmond News eader
Indications of great revival move
ment become stronger steadily. The
impetus appears to have originated in
Wales, but it is being felt throughout
Christendom and promises to be partic-
ularly potent in this country. In nine
months the conversions in Wales were
reported at $4,000. This in a country
Of 7, 400, 900 people is astonishing. Offi-
cial reports show for the single county
of Glamorgan decrease in criminal Of
lenses from the same period of last
year of 1884. The religious feeling is
so deep that it has made itself manifest
in local legislation and the management
of public affairs. The port of Carnar-
Won has prohibited for the coming sea-
son the landing of Sunday passengers,
although the entrance there of excur-
sion steamers furnishes a large part of
the local income.
In several parts of this country results
somewhat similar are manifest. At
Dixon, ILL.,, several thousand people have
taken oath not to frequent bar-rooms or
to engage in dancing or card parties.
Also the dancing clubs have disbanded,
the gambling houses are closed and in a
recent four weeks revival over 1000
conversions were announced. AT
Schenectady, N. Y, revival has been
in active progress six weeks and the
curious fact is that this spirit has been
most marked in the Union Theological
Seminary. 1t is interesting to note that
at all these revivals the modern, aesthe=
tic, Miss Nancy, manufactured hymn
has been discarded and the people have
fallen back on the old-fashioned, STIR
ring religiousImusic, such as "How Firm
a Foundation, "When Can Read My
Title Clear" "Jesus, Saviour of My
Soul, " "When l Survey the Wondrous
Cross" ''Pass Me Not, o Gentle Sa-
vious," and the like. The feeling is
deep and strong and it finds outlet in
strong words, in vivid imagery and
swinging and ringing strains.

During Governor Rollins's administra-

of New Hampshire from one of the
rural districts in the Northern section OF
the State was presented to the Cover

The Governor informed the gentleman

The Democrats are having great
deal of trouble down in the city of Nor
folk over their primaries. They have
decided to hold two primaries, one to
nominate their candidates for city Off
GERS, and the other the general primary
at which candidates for the State Of
fees will be voted for. There are two
Democratic factions in the city and they
are both maneuvering for position or
advantage in the first primary. Each
faction doubts the honesty of the other,
and they both have ample cause for the
doubt.

Conflicting reports come as to the
probability of peace being concluded be-
tween Russia and Japan. Russia does
not wish to pay an indemnity and Japan
has indicated that peace cannot be made
on any other terms. 1t will be wiser for
Russia to consent to pay an indemnity
now than to continue the war and pay
more largely after prosecuting the war
to an unsuccessful conclusion. 1t will
come much cheaper to settle now than
later.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch and
the News Leader are having contro.
versy over the application of Democratic
principles to the primaries to be held in
that city. The Times-Dispatch holds
that the men who vote in the primary
for city officers should not be required
to pledge themselves to vote at the
general election for the Democratic can
didates who are nominated at the prim-
airy for State officers. The News Lead
er holds different view. We think the
Times Dispatch has rather the better of
the News Leader in the controversy.
