Virginia.

The democrats of the Old Dominion are
on the eve of very exciting state cam
paign. AS a nomination Is equivalent to
an election, the fight will be for control Of
the primaries. The governorship and a
United States senatorship are among the
prizes, and the offerings for both places
are excellent men. We are promised a con-
test between eloquence and organization
between party speakers and party mana
gers-and 1t will be curious to note how in
q state where the stars of the stump have
so long held sway two of their number fare
in opposition to men whose strength is of
a totally different description.
The candidates for governor are Repre-
sentative Swanson and Lieutenant Governor
Willard. Mr.. Swanson is an orator after
the approved southern pattern, ready,
fluent. fowery when the crowd responds to
that sort Of thing. and full of ginger. He
Is likewise young and good looking, and
has canyassed the state several times. once,
unsuccessfully, for the office he Is now seek
ing. He has talent for entertaining pub
lie meetings. Lieutenant Governor Willard,
on the other hand. Is no speaker at all.
But he is a very successful man of business.
mixes well, and knows how to rally his
followers. He, too. is familiar with the
politics of the state from activity In pre-
vious campaigns. and. in years. Is about
the same age as his rival
Senator Martin Is so snug where he now
Is that he wants to stay. He is silent
man, but a very capable and Industrious
one, and has made his people an excellent
representative in the upper house Of Con-
gress. Hard work talks fer him. and in
that way he has many eloquent moments.
His organization is said to be the best
ever effected In Virginia, and his friends
express confidence In his success But his
opponent is brilliant orator. young and
popular and is putting his whole soul into
his canvass. Governor Montague knows
his people well, has stirred them repeat
edly from the stump has been rewarded
by them several times with Office, and, we
may be sure. will appeal to them now in
his best FORM He is anxious to be elected
to the Senate. where his gifts as a speaker
would bring him into national notice.
In the old days Virginia was a battle
ground of orators. although neither Jefrer-
son, Madison nor Monroe possessed the
oratorical art. But at all stages the people
of the state have warmed to men who
shone on the stump, and we shall see in
this years result how powerful such men
still are.

In view of all this. 1t is delightful to
know that woman has had the fairness
and good sense to admit that man Is really
a beauty. Mark this. reprinted from q re-
cent Issue OF the London Mail:
MRS. Gilman. an American authoress.
told select gathering OF ladies at the
Women's Institute, at Victoria, that woman
was not nearly as beautiful as man. She
encouraged them to try to become as beau
tiful as man. She poured scorn on some OF
the deficiencies of woman. When a woman
runs she said. 1t is an agitated waddle:
climb. she cannot. and people take hold Of
her elbows and help her up and down
things. I call 1t an insulting practice, I'M
less a woman has wooden leg. There Is
no reason why woman should balk at a
fence like she does. You can vault It easily
In a skirt. and 1t Is the easiest and most
ladylike way Of getting over"
Mrs. Gilman Is a woman Of rare judy
ment and sound discretion. She is no mere
tyro in diplomacy. She knows where the
Easter bonnet comes from, and how to
get 1t.

COMING SEASON EXPECTED TO BE

YEARS.
lJacksonYllle Metronolis }


The lumber business, according to
The local members of the trade, con
tinues' to improve both as to demand
and prices. and the year so far gives
promise of fulfilling the earlier out
look of being one OF the most prosper
Gus since the last high water mark OF
some five or six years ago.
Mr. William B. Stillwell, we'll and
favOlably known throughout Florida
and Georgia, and whose long connec-
ton with the business makes his opin-
ion most valuable, believes that it is
now but question of a few years
when. through the consolidation or
merging of large mill interests. the
business VIII be put. on footing that
will guarantee stability of prices and
basis level that will make impossible
such a depression in the trade as oc-
Cured last spring and summer.
II has been the history of the trade
says Mr.. Stillwell in the Savannah
News. that so soon as the business
gets in good shape new mills of small
capacity and limited capital enter the
field, increase the output and cutaiI
prices only to be themselves wiped
out when the natural results follow
and the prices sag TO a level that
makes it possible only for the larger
concerns to manufacture at a very mar
row margin.
Timber in Strong ,iands.
The trend of the business recently
he says, has been in the direction Of
large mill owners securing large areas
of tfmbered lands, and this has been
SO general and Conducted on so large
scale, that soon there will be but
isolated tracts that the small mill, or
the new lumber manufacturer can Sc.
cure; when these have been exhaust Ell
the business will be in the hands OF
men who, backed by large capital and
knowing the value of stumpage will
be able to control the market and keep
the business on the footing that viii
make it profitable.
Another change that is expected will
come about in the trade in a short
time, in fact one that the Southern
lumber men are now working for is
that of making the inspection at the
Southern ports prior to shipping, final.
The Georgia Interstate Sawmill Asso-
citation is now working toward that
end. When the proper organization
for this change has been completed in
spectiOns made at Savannah, Bruins

WILL COME
TO MIAMl
YALE UNIVERSITY TO HOLD AN
NUAL ENTRANCE ExAMINA-
TIoNS FOR THAT INsTITU-
TON IN MIAMI.

(From Miami Evening Record, 16th)
The recent directory of Yale gradu-
ates published by Secretary Stokes,
containing the announcement that the
South is now furnishing a greater per-
centage of alumni and students for the
university than for many years, has
led the Yale officials to decide to get
in closer contact with the South, and
with the young men in that region who
are going to northern colleges.
The secretary's directory shows that
the representation of the South at
Yale has increased 20 per cent the
past few years. Before the war Yale
was regarded as distinctly the home
of southern students, and Charleston,
s. c., alone sent greater number
than any northern city excepting New
York. New Haven and Hartford
With the above object in view it is
announced that President Hadley will
make an important and rather extend
ed trip south during the spring; and
for the convenience Of those in. the
lower south wishing to enter Yale, it
has been decided to annually hold pre-
liminary and Snal entrance examina-
tons, for both scientific and academic
departments, at Miami during the last
week in June.
These will be held in the high school
building and next June will be super
vised by Prof. Thos. W. Mather, of
Miami, formerly of Yale, who will fur
nish particulars to those Interested
The only other places in the south
where at present such examinations
are held. are Asheville, n. c., Louis
vile, KY. and Nashville, Tenn, and in
thus going 10 the extreme south to a
city in direct communication with
nearly all parts of Florida, lower Geor.
gia, Key West and Cuba, Yale has
made move of great educational i'm
portance.
Yale is at once the most demo-
cratic and cosmopolitan of The big
universities. Internationally she stands
IN the front rank and a young man
prepared to enter Yale would find
ready admission to any other univer-
sity. The influence of this standard of
excellence upon our local preparatory
schools will doubtless be far reaching.
Miami is to be congratulated.
