The Peoples Opportunity.

The high plane" campaign so
much desired by certain Demo-
cratic editors has developed into 4
campaign of abuse on the Demo
cratic side. while Republican
speakers and papers are discussing
the issues that interest the people
Judge Lewis IS makingnew friends
by the hundreds. and keeping
courteous dignifed course in the
face of Democratic attacks.
The school book question has
taken a deep hold on the people
and the Democratic antagonism to
the schools has turned many from
that party II has been proven
beyond question that free school
books mean no increase of taxation
and at the same time a saving Of
hundreds of thousands of dollars
to the people. Mr.. Swanson has
seen mt to resurrect the old race
issue and in his desperation has
resorted To many inaccuracies and
misleading statements. The Re
publican managers have answered
these statements showing Mr..
Swanson : errors and refuting his
many misleading assertions. The
question Is narrowing down I'm the
last weeks Of the campaign 10 the
choice between going ON In the old
rut of buried issues or the new
desire for a change to industrial
and commercial progress. The
Democrats cannot win if they dis
cu~s live issues honestly. They
cannot win if elections are con-
Quoted honestly. They cannot win
If passion and prejudice give place
to reason and argument. Can they
win anyway. Are the people Of
Virginia going 60 let an oliearchiaI
hand continue 10 run their affairs
.or do they want to get out of the
.oId rut and build up a new and
progressive Virginia. The oppor-
tunity has come and November eth
can bring the change.

Ii Wouldn't Go Down.

Mrs. w. II. Trenary. of near
Boyce, has a number of chickens
and takes pleasure in gathering the
eggs. Lately she has been disap-
pointed at the falling off in the out
put, and as incentive to increased
action she sewed piece of white
cotton around walnut, very neat
ly, TO serve as a "neStegg'. The
next morning, Mrs. Trenary was
mortified to find a large black snake
cOiled up in the nest. Her son,
who ran in answer to her cries,
struck the intrude with hoe, but
found that it was already dead.
An examination showed, that the
snake had tried to swallow the
nest egg, but it wouldn't go down,
and choked him to death. His
snakeship had evidently been
benevolentIy assimiIating Mrs.
Trenary's eggs, all the while, and
thrived on them.

A Drop IN Flour.

a large quantity of -four, weigh
ing about $4,000 pounds. took a
sudden and unexpected drop at the
Berryville Milling Company Mon
day morning about $50. The -four.
in sacks ready for shipment, had
been stacked up on the second floor
of the company's new storehouse.
and car was being loaded from it.
Without warning a section of
the floor about twelve feet square
gave way and dumped the -four
into the room below. Fortunately
no one was beneath it, and no one
was injured. The accident was
caused probably by a weak piece

and the cost of demonstrating the

To Divide Methodist Conference.

The question of dividing the
Virginia Conference of the Netho-
ding Church is being agitatcd I'm
the columns of the Methodist Jour
mails. The Dauville Methodist.
published at Danville, and edited
10y Edward q. AIoseley. had lead
ing editorial last week, I'm which il
gives reasons for a division. The
article is from the pen of the as~o-
ciate editor, Rev. !. II. Amiss. the
presiding elder of the Danville dis
trict.
1t is pointed out that the confer
ence, from the extreme ends of the
State, covers nearly 800 miles: that
the pay given the preachers i'm
some of the charges is too small 10
enabel them to travel from one
section to the other: that the con-
ference is too large and unwieldy
to properly consider the business
which comes before it; that it is
larger than the great majority of
conferences, and that by dividing.
an opportunity would be afforded
for allowing annual sessions To be
held in other than the larger cities
of the State.
