THE PLOW BOY OF PITTSYL.
vANIA.v
tRichmOnd Union Workman


lllustrious men in all ages have
been given appellations by the
populace and have gone into history
with cognomens other than their
real names, bestowed upon them by
the people as a mark of affectionate
esteem. These names often repre-
sent much in the character of men,
and are glibly rolled from the
tongues of an admiring people. Vir-
ginians have been quick to follow
this custom which was popular in an
cient days, ,and will doubtless ntinue
so TO be so long as fearless cham pions
of the peoples rights appear upon
the public stage. "Father of his
Country" Is an appellatiOn that will
ever cling to the name of Washing
ton, and in that title mnch is ex-
pressed. "The Millboy of the
Slashes" will be linked for all time
to the name of Henry Clay, the great
commoner who came from the slash
es of Hanover county and left his
impress upon the pages of American
craftsmanship. The "Lame Lion of
Lynchburg" will be associated with
the name of John Warwick Daniel
when generations following us will
delight to recount his glorious
achievements in martial and civic
life. AS such titles have heretofore
been accorded to illustrious Virgin
lans other distinguished Virgin
ians will receive them. Indeed this
is already the case, for in the cam
paigne now on ardent admires of that
fearless champion of Democracy.
Honorable Claude A. Swanson, speak
of him as "The Plow Boy of Pitt
syivania." Such an appellation car
ries with its great respect and honor
when it is known that be upon whom
this title has been bestowed began life
as an humble plow boy in the fields
OF Pittsylvania county, and by his
own determined pluck and energy
risen to prominence in the eyes of
Virginians. He took hold Of that
plow handle as a poor boy, and,
of laborious work, plow-
ed deep and straight, and made pro-
ductive crops. Overcoming all OBJ.
stacles in the pathway of life, he has
become a leader of men and has
earned a title that riches cannot
buy-a self-made man.
''The Plow Boy of Pittsylvania." J"
We doff our hat to thee, Mr.. Swanson,
and the people will strew thy path
way to the governorship with sweet
and lovely flowers.

A SUGGESTION AND APPEAL,

The question how to get more of
our people, both in the church and
out, into the Sunday school ia proba-
bly, the hardest problem that the
Sunday school of the present day has
TO solve. There is move in some of
our schools to send out persons 70
investigate the cause of the poor at.
tendance and to find some remedy
therefor.
Upon inquiry various excuses for
not attending were, something like
these: In winter it's too cold and
wet; In summer its too warm and
dry; the camp meeting must be looked
after; tired men aud tired horses
don't feel like going; or "guess | am
not needed in the Sunday school," etc.
Notwithstanding all these reasons
the cause in the writer's Judgment 10
simply lack of interest 10 the cause
OF Christ. What we need is a great
revival in our churches. Then the
problem will be solved; for when men
and women are truly converted and
thoroughly consecrated to the service
OF the Lord, they can be relied upon,
anywhere and everywhere. They are
like well trained OK, they will work
anywhere they are put, aud not only
Will they work, bat will put them.
selves in position to be worked.
If the church people would wake
from their sleep and shake off their
Incidence and go to work as hard for
the Lord as some of our statesmen
are working for money and worldly
honor, they would not only send their
children to the Sunday school, but
also take an active part in the SER
vice themselves; they would see that
the lesson was we'll prepared before
leaving home. Nor would the Young
people leave the school in their best
and most useful days; for on them the
hopes of the church depend. If this
interest existed, people would Lot he
shy of the Sunday school class because
they can't give an explanation of any
part of the Bible but they would be
there holding up the superinteudent's
hands and inspiring the faithful few,
and the official members of the
church would not be such strangers
in the Sunday school. The writer
does not desire or intend to write
all that might be said about the Sum
day school work, but only to urge ear
nestly that we put into practice what
we already know; to pray and work
for and expect a great revival in our
churches such as has never been seen
oy the present generation. Then
this great problem would be solved.
and no doubt the power and influence
of the Sunday school and church
would be felt throughout our land,
as the harvest field is moved by the
passing breeze.
May God speed the work.

Now when man puts down his gun,
he realizes that it is time. for him to

important to tie them; or had they
better run free, proving over the
fields and woods, catching and de-
stroying hares, turkeys, partridges

tunate as to fall prey to their greed

Aud suppose the head of that house

MONTAGUE AT HEATHSVILLE.

Varied and peculiar are the criti-
clsms that have gone forth as to the
Hon. A. j. Montague's speech at
Heathsville. From my own stand
point, however. it was simply fail
nre = nothing more, nothing less.
This can be vouched for by every
fair-minded man who heard him.
At times the applause bid for never
came, and the dead silence was pain
full. A pitiful spectacle was pre-
sented by the chief parsonage of a
great Commonwealth with his back
turned to official duties and obliga-
tions--vote begging.
He and he alone was fitted to
stand In the great Hunters place.
Great stress was laid on the primary
plan. Admit Senator Martins oppo-
sition to it: is he to be discredited
and turned out because he doesn't
favor it? Is originating and favor
ing this plan the only requisite for a
United States Senator? There are
many. many Democrats in this State
who are opposed to it, and before
the present campaign is over those
who did favor it will be getting
somewhere in the bushes.
The personnel of the Senate seems
to give the Hon. A. j. Nj. great dis
quietude also. His latest charge is
that Senator Smoot has two wives.
(Of course, Mr.. Martin is response
BILE for this.) A number of other
Senators are tricky and not entitled
to credit. This great Augean Stable
needs cleaning and the Hon. A. j.
nj. Is the man to do it. This great
reformer and Senator Martin recent.

tin vanquished his opponent on
every point, more especially the road
question. Yet some of the papers
say he can't make a speech; Others
are more fair. One has this to say:

skilfnlness and direct method of APP

art of public debate"
Mr. Martin might as we'll go home

Some of his bitterest, most inveter-

tlnue, however, true to their in
stlnct, to yelp on the trail. May his
success be perfect and complete.

The maneuvers on the Chesapeake

The maneuvers on the Chesapeake
are believed to have been of benefit.
They showed, according to good mill
tary authority, that Cape Charles
and Cape Henry should be fortified,
but that Baltimore and Washington
are sale from a naval attack. The
remarkable target practice of the
battleship Kentucky is reported. The
target was 81 feet by II in size and
was placed at a distance of 1000
yards. One gunner fired IA shots a
minute and hit the target 13 times.
Two other gunners fired 13 times in
a minute and made u hits each.
Another shot 13 times and made Is
hits. The guns used we're 5-inch.
That would indicate that the Ken
tucky is able to take care of herself
if attacked by an enemy.

Synopsis of Preceding Chapters
CIR NIGEL" is a romantic tale of
- the loves and adventures of Nigel
Loring, a young Englishman of heroic
ancestry, who took up the sword to mend
the fallen fortunes of his noble house
the year after the great plague devas-
tated England in the fourteenth century.
The story opens with brief but
powerful word-picture of England during
the plague, and rapidly outlines the down
fall of the feudal system and other
changes which that fearful Black
Death" brought about The house of
Loring has been all but wrecked by the
Vaccinations and encroachments of
clerics Nigel and his grandmother are
the sole survivors of the family, and the
Cistercian monks of Waver1ey Abbey
are still engaged in preying upon their
meager possessions, after the manner of
those feudal times, Young Nigel openly
opposes them.
The monks, in satisfaction of claim
against Franklin Awkward, have taken
horse of noted lineage, and several of
their number have been viciously at
tackled and nearly killed by the animal.
Believing the horse to be possessed of
devil, the monks are about to have him
killed, when Nigel interposes. The horse
is given to him, partly in the hope that
the beast will kill him and rid their COM
munity of its most rebellious, trouble
some and dangerous opponent. But
Nigel at once takes possession of the horse,
and in the presence of the astonished
monks speedily reduces him to SUBJ

called in our day.

chapter, is undoubtedly one of the most
