LIE PRMARY ANp pRoHIBIrloN

We have been a staunch supporter
of thc primary plan of selecting can

asp.rant for the United states Senate
or for Governor OF the State shall be
made to pay 81 500 for the privilege Of
being voted for by his friends, we are
uncompromisingly opposed 10 1t.
There are Nirginians in every county

every county who are worthy Of the
highest honors their State can confer
who could not conveniently raise
81 500 10 pay for one item Of the ex-

is monstrous. We doubt If Extra

are honest and capable men enough

such prohibitory tax has the ten

THE SURVIVING HEROES

The Confederate veterans held their
annual reunion in Louisville last
week. The attendance was larger
than for some years though the ranks
are thinning fast.
Gordon was not with them. nor
Fitzhugh Lee and sadly did they
miss them. How many Of the rank
and file during the past year have
fallen we have no means Of knowing.
but as on the field their name was le-
gion in comparison with the officers

claiming them by battaliOns while
those who led them are falling here
and there. Louisville gave them
loving welcome, the war songs stirred
their souls as the wind sometimes
sways the forests, the procession was
an imposing one and the occasion
from first to last one long TO be re-
membered. The next meeting will
be in New Orleans.

Of Richmond. who is one Of those
most seriously effected by the order
has written "a caustic communication
on the subject and is evidently pre-
