sharp local contests aroused the
voters to action, general lack of in
terest was manifested. The Repub-
lican showing was distinctly poor,
particularly in view of the boastful
utterances of the party leaders.
The Democratic strongholds were

out an apparent break in the ranks
at any point. Reports from the Re-
publican Southwest are meagre, but
they clearly indicate Democratic
gains,though Chairman Slemp claims
from information in his possession
that the Republicans have made ad-
vance, over the Parker vote. Ncta-
BILE Democratic victories were won in
Charlotte, Louisa, Nelson, Fluvanna,
Goochland, Page and Rappahannock.
These were all local contests, bitterly

lT is source Of qualification that

bic number of voters would not sup
port Mr.. Swanson because he was
not their fsyorite in the primary

in the honor of our people in general,
and We cannot forego the oppor
tunity of expressing our hearty ad-
miration for the spirit that mani
tested itself in this matter among
the voters of IrvingtoD. 1t would
have been an easy matter for voter
to cover up an unworthy act of this
kind, should be have been disposed
so to do, and if among the five votes
received by the Republican candidate
for Governor at this precinct there
was one cast by a voter who took
part in the Democratic primary, we
can only leave him to bis sered con.
science with the prayer that God
may help such a man.

There lie under consideration in the
War Department at Washington two
projects concerning the Rappahan-
mock as a result of the new survey of
the rivers recently completed. 1t ia
proposed to make a channel one
hundred feet wide and fifteen feet
deep from fredericksburg to Tappa-
hammock, or channel two hundred
feet wide and twelve feet deep be-
tween the same points. The adop-
ton of either plan will mean the
dredging of about 100000 cubic
yards from the river ct Fredericks-
burg aud on the bars below. This
will be the largest contract for dredg-
ing the Rappahannock ever entered
into, and when completed will put
the channel in first class navieable
condition. The old contract for i'm
provements to the river has not vet
been completed, and there will be a
sum left over for the new work, but
Congress will have to make an addi-
tionaI appropriation to complete it.

PACKING HOUSE WOULD BOOK
TRADE HERE.
CFrom Norfolk Pnot.J

1t is highly probable that Libby,
Mcneil II Libby, the great Chicago
packers, will establish branch house
in this vicinity for the purpose of
sailing and picking meats.
This company packs a great many
vegetables and one of the things at
tracing the great Chicago firm here
Is the enormous amount of trucking
done In this section of the country.
With the chance of getting enough
vegetables here and with the saving
of $1.20 a barrel for freight this
company will be able to put their
goods on the market in the east
much cheaper. This will mean q
great deal for Norfolk. AS the situ-
alton now stands the truckers around
Norfolk ship the most of their pro-
duce to Baltimore, New York and
Philadelphia and they have TO stand
the freight on these shipments. If
Libby, Mcneil Il Libby establish
here they will only have to bring
their vegetables to Norfolk to dispose
of them at as good q price as they
get 10 the northern markets.
Then this will mean lift for the
proposition of keeping twice-a-week
communication with the Rappahan.
mock river section. One Of the reasons
the Weems Line has mentioned for
taking its boat off this trade was that
while the traffic out of Norfolk was
all that could be asked for there was
no inbound freight to speak Of.
Trucking is the principal industry
along the Rappahannock, and with a
good market here in Norfolk those
truckers would rather ship here
because the freight would be cheaper.
Thus if this firm can see it's way
clear to establish here the Rappahan-
mock trade will be firmly established
for the Norfolk Wholesale people.

THE ELECTION

Important elections were held

anything, exceeds the expectations

the mighty fortress of Democracy is
rs firm and mistaken as ever in the
old dominion, showing that the
"new" Republicanism down here has
no charms for people who are not
yet ready to forget this old-time
enemy of the South, with her catchy
promises and insincere inducements.
But the weak showing and signal
failure of the enemy must not cause

Gus feature that manifested itself in
the ranks of Democracy. The figures
OF the Democratic vote cast show
an over-confdence and indifference
among the voters that is much to be
deplored and which should be SER
iously considered by all Democrats
that lesson of great value for the
future may be learned right now.
Ihe feeling that all is safe without
our help is dangerous, and if in
dulged In may some day work great
disaster to the party in Virginia.
Salutary lessons may also be learned
from the results in other States
conclusions which, if disregarded by
any party, will work disaster and sure
defeat. They show that when party

ton and yiciousness limit is

spoken in no uncertain tones that a
point is reached when the people are
thinking for themselves and will not

THE present condition of the Rus
sian Empire is sad commen tary on
the advance of civilization over the
earth. That benighted land, now in
the throes of frightful state of
wanton pillage and massacre, is
showing the world, in unmists kable
form, the wages of ignorance. The
object of this unfortunate govern.
ment, through all the years of her
history. has seemingly been to keep
her subjects in ignorance of consti-
tutional freedom and to suppress
the impulses of individual liberty
and personal advancement. The pres
emit condition there should not be
attributed primarily to the present
government, for at last it has taken a
step towards advancement in issuing
a proclamation to establish constitu-
tional liberty, but such a state of
affairs is due to the natural outburst
of that degraded and brutal igno-
rance which has developed and be-
come established in the breast of a
people held down through the cen
turtles by the iron hand of tyranny
and oppression. Ignorance is the
curse of Russia, and her path to the
goal of civilization is long and
rough and thorny, no matter how
well-disposed her government may
become.

2 1T is matter of general repute
that the people of our section offer
their produce higher, as rule, here
than certain lines can be bought for
in Baltimore. TO illustrate, hogs.
hay, corn and often grown cattle
will be shipped from this section to
Baltimore, where they can be pur.
chased and reshipped here cheaper
than they could have been bought
from the grower. A few days ago a
friend of ours was passing with a
nice little beef COW on his way to
the wharf. On inquiry it was
learned that he had refused SIS for
the kline. A few days later he
dropped in and Informed us that he
had gotten twelve dollars and some.
cents net in Baltimore for his COW.
There is something wrong, alto
gether, in such conditions. The IN
steadiness of city markets have
somewhat to do with this, but is it
not to large extent the spirit of
chance within our people that makes
them risk shipping when refusing
fair price from home people? Not
withstanding the fact that they are
risking it on another game, there is
a subtle fascination in CHANGING the
market to see if there will not be big
returns.
