state, with all differences among the
divisions or otherwise satisfactorily
adjusted and with everything in first
class working trim in the interest OF
the members of which it is composed.
The organization it is safe to say, too
is stronger than it has ever been and
has promise of increase in member
ship this year which will greatly
strengthen it and help it along in Its
career of usefulness. That it will con-
tinue to live and flourish, of course,
no one doubts, whatever dissenslons
may at times exist among the members
in regard to salaries or in other matters
incident to the government OF same.
twill live, because it means prosperity
to our farmers and through them to
everyone else, whatever his avocation.
It's record in the past justifies that
conclusion but it is with us to say to
what extent the Exchange shall be a
success. If those who have stood by
it and supported it have accomplished
so much, what might we not expect
for the betterment of the farmers If 1t
had the hearty cooperation of all of
them?

The consolidation of the counties OF
Accomac and Northampton into one
school district, with G. G. JOynes as
superintendent of both counties, has
caused some dissatisfaction in our
sister county, and they have reason to
feel aggrieved by the action of the
State Educational Board, inasmuch as
MANY smaller counties in the State
were allowed to have their own super
intendent as heretofore. We are not
advised UPON whose motion both
counties We're placed under the same
management, but we do not believe
such a movement originated in Acco-
mac. But while we do not approve
the consolidation we congratulate the
parents and scholars of our sister
county that in the appointment OF MIR.
Joynes as their superintendent, they
will have one who will discharge all
of his duties pertaining to their schools
in way which will be for the up
building of their school interests and
which will be in every respect salts
factory to them.

Partial reports from the State at
large indicate that the vote in the
coming primaries for State and city
officials will be fairly large. Saturday
was the last day on which poll taxes
could be paid, and all who failed to
qualify by such payment will be de-
barred from participating in these
primaries or in the general election.
In some sections of the State the
voters paid up pretty generally, but in
others they showed indifference. 1t is
understood that the white Republicans
or nearly all of them, paid their capita
ton taxes and are well organized in
most districts.

Mobile was for time the scene

fitting that the monument should be
erected in that noble city. but it
should be a privilege for every south
erner who has been thrilled by Father
Ryan's poems to contribute to its erec-
ton and if everyone should contribute
something the aggregate sum, howev-
er large it might be. would not be too
much to build memorial commen-
surate with his genius and character
We have long believed hat Father
Ryan's war lyrics shonld have placo
in the public schools of the south. Ev-
cry school child should read them in
order to acquire an understanding of
the pure and lofty spirit of the Confe1
eracy. We know of no literature so
capable of imparting this sDirit to the
present generation as Father Ryan's
eonl-stiring poems. They perpet1ate
in enduring verse the most sacred
events of southern history.
