Mr.. Editor:
You will please grant a small
space in your valuable paper to
correct a manifest error made by
the Hon. George Y. Hunley in
your last issue, in his card of with
drawal from the legislative con-
test. He has left the impression
that the only candidates that are
now in the field for the House of
Delegates are the two gentlemen
who announced themselves as
candidates for the above position
before the primary. since he did;
they being from Middlesex and
Mathews respectfully. In your
issue of June Ist, there appeared
for the first time Mr.. Hunley's
card of announcement, and just
under his (for the first time also)
appeared my card of announce
ment. Mr.. Hunley knew when
he wrote his card of announce
ment of his candidacy. that was
a candidate, and he knew when
he wrote his card withdrawing
from the field that was still a
candidate, and therefore when in
his card in your last issue, he used
these words: I'm Mathews heard
nothing what ever to indicate
thatany other Democrat of con-
siderable following would aspire"
he did me a great injustice, and
when he followed it up, farther a.
long in his card with those other
words: But since doing so,
(meaning his card of announce
ment) two prominent Democrats,
one of Mathews and one of Mid
dleseX have announced themselves
for the nomination." he but en-
phasized that injustice / do not
know what my following as a
Democrat is, nor does he; but l
am Democrat and as a Demo-
crat ask and demand the cour-
tesy and respect that is due one
Democrat to another. This may
be oversight on the part of Mr..
Hunley, and if so, let him correct
it through the same channels
through which he made it.
Yourg very truly,
r. L. Nc Cready.

Dear Sir-You have PROFOUND
ed to me as a democratic Candi-
date for the Senate, for the nomi-
nation at the primary, certain
questions and my reply to be pub
lished in our county paper" The
League, l presume, desired these
questions to be asked. The Lea
que shall have my views, for l
know the members of the League
must be democrats, as only dem
oCrats have the right to make the
request. My reply is not only for
the League, but to the public. AS
democrat, l reply to democrats
and it will be published, as a pol
itical paper, by the League, to be
read from a candidate to a politi-
cal Office. Then | conclude the
League has a right to know my
political views. l am a democrat
and my reply is from a democrat
&c standpoint.
For the first time in the history
of Virginia. our State Constitution
has the following provision: Sec
ton OF. The General Assembly
shall have full power to enact To-
cal option or dispensary laws or
any other laws controlling, regu-
lating or prohibiting the manufaC-
ture orsale ofintoxicating liquors.
The new Constitution of VIRGINIA
went into effect on July 10, 1902.
Under the above provision the
General Assembly of Virginia
passed the Mann Bill and it went
into effect on April 10, 1903.
Has the Mann Bill" been APP
proved by the people of Virginia.
In the fall of 1903, members of
the House of Delegates and one
half of the Senators were elected
and the General Assembly of 1904,
met in January, remained in SEES
sion two months and the Mann
Bill was not repealed and no
move was made to have it repeal
ed. The Constitutional Conven-
ton was overwhelmingly demo-
cratic; the General Assembly of
1903 was democratic; the Gener-
al Assembly of 1904 was democra-

Frozen Fingers in Summer.

One of the most peculiar cases that
has ever come under the observation
of Denver physician came to the
Office of DR.. H. H. Martin recently.
Mrs. George Rold of Chicago was up
on Rollins pass and disported i'll the
snow until the train went to Arrow
head and turned on the wye" and
started back to Denver. 1t leaves the
passenger two hours and forty min.
utes on the bleak top of the pass and
all around is wide expanse of snow.
The temptation to make balls of the
summer snow to pelt her companions
was too great to be resisted, and Mrs.
Rold enjoyed the novelty to the full.
When she boarded the train for home
she soon discovered her fingers were
frostbitten. Arriving in Denver her
hands were badly swollen and she was
driven at once to the office of DR..
Martin.
The fingers of the hands were swol.
len and the flesh had turned blue. The
pain was very severe, and 1t will be q
week. the doctor says. before Mrs,
Rold can use her haads.- Denver

she attributed her age and health she
replied, obedience" And this. too

the word "obey" taken out of the mar

testing the most supreme contempt for
the old obligation. 1t is not to be be.
lieved that there are many women who
will care to drag out an existence of
100 years in a state of obedience, even
If a fair degree of health is assured.
The holy scriptures do not tell us how
long the women lived, although We
know that Sarah survived until she
was 1877 and was so obedient that the
Lord blessed her with Isaac when she
was 90 And il is fair to suppose that
other good Hebrew wives were equally
long lived and successful. Thus we
see that obedience Is Of the utmost
importance to the human race and is
the source of happiness and prosper
ity. Still the women of this age are
extremely stiff.necked and unreasnn

By a species Of bug The female slts

retircs an inch or so from the eggs
and remains there for some hours
until the last egg Is Matched. She
then departs, leaving the young ones
to take care Of themselves. During
