OUT AMONG
OTHER PEOPLE.
From Up-to-Date Farming

God bless all who labor All who
work to produce something useful to
the human lace are honorable, and
entitled to the consideration. respect
and gratitude of mankind, and all
who receive benefits from that labor
in the use Of what the labor produces
should be willing to accord reasonable
compensation therefor.
Let us make an imaginary journey
among these people and see how 1t
fares with them, but let us he sure tc
present only the actual conditions.
"Mr. WagonmaKer, you are getting
out some very nice vehicles. What dc
you expect to get for them this Year,
Much the same as we got last
year. Prices OF wagons, carriages, etc.
are very steady. We used to cut
against each other some, but we are
now generally agreed among ourselves,
and Keep our prices the same, being
sure that all costs and even losses are
covered, ana safe profit for our
own compensation.
Mr. Implement Maker, you are
turning out splendid line Of now
ers, reapers, binders, threshers, ed
gines, etc. How will the market fol-
such things be this yearf'
"Oh, we are never uneasy about the
price that Is the first thing we make
ourselves sure Of. If we didn't we
would not dare to turn wheel to
make thing. "
But there are others engaged in
same business. How do you manage
about the price, Is 1t not regulated by
supply and demand?'
Several years ago we had some
trouble about the price, but we soon
learned to do better. We now under
stand each other, and agree upon
prices at which we shall sell the same
implements, and if any one breaks
the agreement and dumps his articles
IN competition with the rest of us,
we unite dead solid against him, and
he is soon glad to max good to us, OF
we make il so hot for him that he
soon finds another business. The frs
thing we are certain of is the price
we couldn' keep IN business without
a satisfactory price.
"But / have understood the nipple
ment manufacturers have formed 8
trust, aud work soue way to eacl
Others advantage How is tnaty'
well, you may call it trust, i
you wish; we don't care what yor
call it 1t is this way We estimate,
what we considered the value of on
separate plants decided upon wha
we should spend on our dlffsren'
machines with an ironclad agreemen
as price, and then we pool our issues,
as they used to say, and divide profits
We would not attempt to do bnsines
If we could not make our own prices.

"Hello. Standard OIL Company, 1t is
wonderful what development there has
been in earth oils within the last fifty
years, When 1 was a hoy no such
thing was known as AN Illuminating
material obtained from the earth
now no home is so poor or so remotely
located that is Is not lighted with
coal oil, and the raw material is drawn
from deposits found in many places
In this country, and In almost all the
countries of the world. How do you
manage to regulate the supply to meet
the demand2'
ave do not care so much about the
equality OF the supply and demand. If
we get too much we simply hold the
surplus over, and wait time when
it shall be needed for use -
"But how do you manage about
the price when you get too-much of
the oil on hand?'
The price is what we are most
careful to look after 1t is the most
important thing to us, and it is there
fore the first thing we attend to- We
MAKE the price, and all who handle
the oil must observe it, and all who
use the oil must pay it. :"
But isn't it fixed by comparing
the supply and demand2 Does not the
law of supply and demand determine
the priceG'
There may be such a law as that
somewhere, but l have never found it
IN any of or books. OF coarse we can
not say that we own the crude oil, for
that Is one of Gods products, whose
whereabouts and quantity are I'M
known, but we o wn the machinery
that brings it out of the earth, the
pipe lines that distribute it, and the
retineries that prepare it for use. We
know what it costs to operate all
these, and we know how many mil.
lions we wish to add to our wealth
annually, how much we want to
spend for pleasure, and now much
we wish to give too our pet institu-
tions, and we make the price to
cover these matters. If we meet with
loss, or desire to make an etxra ex-
penditure, we siml ly add that much
TO the price of oil. 1t is very simple
and no more difficult than any other
matter Of business.

Mr.. William A. Riley.

Mr.. William 4. Riley, one of
the best-known farmers and ex-
Confederate soldiers Of Clarke

two miles south of Summit Point,

was born on the farm where he

Mackey stands responsible for this
slarder because he permitted it to
be printed in the newspapers over
his name. He owes To the public,
TO Mr.. Swanson, whom his attack
was intended to injure, and to Mr..
Williams and Judge Nicol. whom
he mlsquoted, full explanation.
Defamation of character is very
serious offense in law and even
more serious in morals. When il
is committed deliberately and i'm a
way and at time likely TO inflict
the most disastrous injury it be-
comes one of the worst of crimes.
MIR. Mackey may be able to explain
how he came to misquote and TO
misrepresent Mr.. Williams and
Judge Nicol. If he can explain,
he should do so Immediately, dis
closing the source Of information.
He should be the first and most
active and eager man in tracing
the SANDER to its source and i'm ex-
posing the man or men who origi-
mated it. Evidently somebody did
originate it. We do not believe
for moment that Mr.. Willard had
anything TO do with it, but Mr..
Mackey should announce and de-
nounce his informant, assuming
that he had one. Whoever intro
duces such methods into our Vir-
ginia politics should be exposed
and punished. They are worse
than stealing ballots. -News-Leader

Two Party Mann.

In our humble judgment it will
be more or less the waste of print
ers' ink to place the name of Judge
William Hodges Mann upon the
ballot To be voted in Elizabeth City
County next Tuesday a week.
The voters in this part of the moral
vineyard are either Democratic or
Republican. and the Prohibitionist
following is comparatively small.
There is a Prohibitionist party,
and to this Judge Mann properly
belongs. Why Because he said
at Newport News in substance,
MY defeat is the defeat of Pro
hibition.' Because, as the Times
Dispatch says:
The ProhibitioniSts have a
splendid champion in Judge vii
lain Hodges Mann who is making
a fine run for the gubernatoriaI
nomination
There is no one so foolish as q
attack the ability or moral charac-
ter of Judge Mann, but there is nc
denying that he has brought the
Prohibition fight into the Demo
cratic ranks, which may be of in
calculable harm. Harmful in that
it offers more encouragement e
the Republican party than has
smiled upon it since the days oi
Malone supremacy.
That the ProhibitionistS have Is
sued call asking the voters to re
serve their vote and not enter tn,
primary is in our opinion n mere
sham that has been raised To eN
onerate Judge Mann. 1t is rather
an adroit move.-Hampton Moni

This year the prizes have been
increased. an extra prize has been
added in all classes, and the entries,
which closed Monday night are
very large.

culated that the price of admission
to the Show would be increased.
That IS not true. and the price will
be the same as formerly, % cents
for adults and - cents for chill
dren.
The reserved seats are now on
sale at Blencowe's drugstore.

CORRESPONDENCE
DEMOCRATS MUST Be UNITED.

The aggressive tone Of the temporary
chairman Of the Republican convention.
in session at Roanoke. in his speecb On
Tuesday, leaves little doubt that that
party proposes TO make red hot fight
for the State offices this fall and Il Is
equally certain that there is some cause
for the apparent hopefulness which
seems to dominate them. IF we can read
between the lines Of Mr. Gleave's speech.
we believe that this evidence Of renewed
animation is due for the most part 20 the
bitter fight now in the Democratic party
for the Democratic nomination for the
various state offices. and 90 our mind
the Republican leaders see or think they
see an especially weak point in the Dem
ocratic line APP for governor II is con-
hdently predicted that If Judge Mann
secures the nomination for governor
that the Republican nominee. judge
Lewis. will have an excellent chance Of
winning out in the general election.
Hence, nearly all Republicans favor

cratic party. To, therefore. behooves the
Democraticparty TO nominate the strong

mands that Democrats should not So

two candidates, Willard appears now 20
be the stronger. His gains throughout
the state, Il the reports we get are 20 be
relied upon, have been steady and SUBJ
stantiai In every quarter. and he would
be strong or stronger in a general elec-

interest to every voter. To those
men who are open supporters of

questions, with the request that

Is it not true that Senator Mar

comparatively unknown TO the
people Of Virginia.
Is it not true that even now in

Southern senators who make
speeches in the senate, the junior
senator Is comparatively unknown
to the people of the country at
large.
j it not true that Senator Mar
tin has always been an enemy to
the primary.
Is it not true that Senator Mar
tins principle of standing by
your friends means political
friends: In other words. Is not
the senator the head of the machine
In Virginia.

in our State, how do YOU explain
the fact that the courthouse crowds
and the ward-heelers are nearly
all for him.
