Increased Reward tor Ford

Sheriff Thomas A. Sterrett re.
ceived a letter last week from
Governor Montague. informing
him that the reward for the cap.
ture of Grover Ford had beOD
increased 800, making total Of
$500. The conditions have been
changed somewhat. The reward
will be paid for Ford's arrest.
Formerly the reward was con.
ditioued upon his arrest and con.
viction.
Governor Montague's letter was
in response to a letter written by
Sheriff Sterrett, asking that the
reward be increased to $500. The
Governor said this was impossible,
as there were so many demands
upon the cival contingent fund
that. a larger reward than $500
could not be named.
Ford has been at large now since
June 25sh, when he shot Charles
Cash who died the next morning,
and his mcopanion, Miss Lydia
Entsminger who died July Gath.
No definite information as to the
whereabouts of the murderer has
as yet been secured, although
many rumors have repeatedly been
circulated that he was seen in
different places.

The lamh-llke and docile submission
with which the high-strung and sans
peur ct sans reproche chivalry of the
Old Dominion pass under the yoke and
bow their necks to the power Of petty
boss is great mystery. MIR. Martin
until he became a candidate for the ..
S. Senate four or Ave years ago, was
entirely unknown to bulk Of the peo-
pie Of the State. After his election and
since he has occupied a place in the
Senate he has done nothing, neither good
nor bad, to give him the slightest no.
toriety, He has not even been a con-
spicuous figure head. Mr.. Jones, In the
House from the First District, who has
had fine chance to know, says he never
cast but two important votes In the
Senate. These were on the silver ques-
ton. One was for II and the other
against it. The work for which he and
his friends claim the most credit for him
was in every case, Mr.. Jones has proved
from the records. done by come one
else. He made no important speeches.
He can't make speech. He presented
no important measures aud ohampioned
none. He neither opposed nor helped
defeat any dangerous Legislation. To
all intents and purposes he was as near
legislative nonenity as could well be
imagined. Yet he comes back to his
State for reelection and the party, big
and little. PROSTATE themselves before
him and offer to do his behests.
What Is greater mystery, he anita

pie when they were making effort to get

General Lees defeat was surprise
as well as a disappointment to his
hosts Of friends In every section Of the
country. No man is more widely
known or more universally popular.
His brilliant war record and his equally
brilliant civil record as a Governor of
Virginia, and his active participation
in all the political campaigns Of the
State In the last ten years, has brought
him nearer to the people and increased
his popularity.
On the other hand, Mr.. Martin is
comparatively unknown. He has been
spoken of for this office. but he has
never taken a prominent part in the
affairs OF the State, never canvassed In
any Of the election contests nor he d
any position to test his capacity as a
statesman. The question is now on
the tongue Of nearly every man we

The Secret of sncceas

The Blackstone schools girls, the
advertisement OF which appears In
another column, is q striking example
OF the success which follows an earn
est, persistent effort to meet rela
need. Barely ten years old, the school
has reached the front rank Of educa-
tional institution of the State, and for
the last three or four years It's patron
age has been limited only by its accom-
modations. 1t is the largest private
institution in the State for the educa-
tion OF girls. The secret of its success
its found In It's motto: Thorough in
struction under positive Christian in
fluences at the lowest possible cost. p
Enough pupils are taken to enable the
institution to give low rates, but no
moro are taken than can be given
the personal oversight Of the Prlncipsl
and the Faculty OF instruction, all OF
whom live Ia the building with the
girls, and thus exercise q direct inslu-
snoe upon them.

In exercising his natural gifts during
the many years he was almost con-

arises, for what reason 1t is unnecessary
to surmise; or, the chances are that when
question representing some difference
among the people, as that Of currency
or trusts, is brought up he will dodge
and not vote at all. This shows his
standard Of conviction on any question
affecting the interests Of the people and
what he measures up to as a statesman

clare that their prediction has been

amounted to nothing, but that the fu-
turs will determine Martins opponents

this matter of popular expression in

his fear OF and hostility to it by actions
which speak the loudest, His friends

his friends defeated the movement

This Is not true of either of the othe
candidates. Judge Mann, like myself,
is Just In the middle OF his term al
Senator and should he be defeated will
all out his term, and as chairman o
one Of the most important committees
Of the Senate ought to be In position
TO be very useful to the State.
The people have not been unmindful
OF Mr. Swanson nor bis exhibitions.
They have elected him to the position
OF member OF Congress with it's honors
and emoluments the seventh time, with
salary aggregatlng $40, 900, and he will
continue as Congressman from the
Fifth District during the next Con-
gress, should he be defeated. AS yet
he has never sat day In the Congress
to which he was elected last fall and
which will not convene In regular ses-
sion until next December. II what Mr..
Swanson's supporters claim for him is
true-zand do not dipute the claim
1t would be little less than a public
calamity forMr. Swanson to retire from
Congress.
WHY Mr.. SWANSON SHOULD REMAIN
IN CONGRESS
We are constantly reminded In the
public press that the reason New Eng
land and the North ara 80 potential in
national affairs, is that they keep their
Congressman In service. We are con-
stantly reminded that 1t is our duty to
rstaln'our own representatives that we,
too, may become influential.
Mr.. Swanson is one among the Con-
gressmen from Virginia Of the longest
service. He is the ranking Democrat
on the Committee Of Ways and Means
OF the House. II he has half the in
duence he claims for himself, and his
supporters claim for him, he ought to
be in position to be very useful and
influential in protecting Yirginia's in
terests in any revision oil the tariff un-
dertaken by a Republican Congress, or
In the event Of a Democratic Congress
In the near future, he would be the
logical chairman Of this, the most i'm
portsnt committee OF the Federal Con-
yress.
Should he retire to become Governor,

In concluding General Lee expressed
the hope that no one should occupy
the high position of Senator from Vir-
ginia unless he could read his title
clear. Those who recall the circum-
stances of the last election will under
stand the meaning of this. General
Lees formal withdrawal appears to
have given additional zest TO the fight
which number of Virginia Democrats
are evidently determined to wage
against the return OF Senator Martin to
the Senate.

The County News has but enc posi-
ton on the senatorship. 1t opposes
the reelection Of Senator Thomas S.
Martin. 1t wishes to see Virginir re-
presented in the Senate by some man
who stands fer decent politics in Vir-
ginia and represents in the United
States Senate some ideas, even though
wrong ideas, other than the advance
ment of himself and his supporters at
public expense. The latter is what
Martin stands for as representative Of
the Old Dominion 10 the most dignified
legislative assembly In the world.
