What Becomes of the Bible?

The announcement of DR.. James
Morrow, secretary of the Pennsyl-
vania Bible society, that his or
ganization alone distributed 10, OOO,-
900 bibles year, while 5,OOO,OO
were sold by the tradeIaga1n calls
attention to the immense circula-
ton of the book. Where all the
bibles issued go to is'a wonder even
among the agencies that are con-
cerned in the work. distributions
are supposed to cover, as far as
possible, places and spersons not yet
reached, but it would appear that
there are no longerlIany such per-
sons and places left. Even suppos-
ing there were bibles in the KNAPP
sack of some or even all of the
slaughtered thousands on the field
or buried with their clothes on at
Port Arthur anu Mukden, that
would be but drop3in the ocean of
production. The proportion of bibles
to be found on second hand book
stalls is not greater than of other
books, nor are they probably stored
away more than other books are.
Persons who have investigated this
question say it is one of the unex-
planned mysteries.

with the troops under his i'm
mediate command in the Petersburs
lines westward along the railroad run
ming to Danville, Va, the point which
President Davis had selected as thu
new capital of the Confederacy. Gen
eral John B. Gordons corps formed thu
Confederate rear guard, and Genera
r. S. Ewell's corps was the last il
Lees regular column. General Long
street led the vanguard.
General Grant and General Meade
set out from Petersburg on April 5 tt
follow upon Lees heels with three
army corps, the Second, Fifth an6
Sixth, led respectively by Genera
Humphreys, General Griffin and Gen
eral Wright. The Federal Army of the
James, under command of Genera
Ord, marched westward on more
southerly route than that followed by
Lee and Grant, hoping to intercept the
Confederate retreat. Meanwhile Sher
idan, with the cavalry column, struck
out still farther west to get between
Lee and Danville.
General Gordon's men kept up a run
ming fight with the pursuing Federals
particularly at the crossings of streams
and the passes over ridges, but the
march was continuous, Grants advance
moving rapidly with skirmishers and
artillery. This pursuit by the Grant
column lasted all day the 9th, ending
at night at Sailors creek, fourteen
miles ahead, where an important &C
ton closed the heavy fighting of the
campaign. The operations on the front
Of the line began on the morning OF
the 9th. General Longstreet's corps
had been pushed on in advance of
Lees army and during the night Of the
9th had reached Rice's Station, on the
South Side railroad, between Burke
vile and Farmville. This brought him
in front Of Ord's Army Of the James
at Burkeville. Fitz Lees Confederate
cavalry was close up with Longstreet's.
Sheridan was in the vicinity.
General Ord, who believed that Lee
was marching down the Danville road
on Burkeville, sent out detachment
Of two regiments Of about 500 men
and his headquarters cavalry, eighty
strong, under Colonel Francis Wash
burn, to intercept Longstreet's column.

When ROSSer saw Reads column NOV
ing around Longstreet's flank he start
ed in pursuit and overlook it about
midway between Rices Station and
Farmville, some distance west of the
railroad. Read had posted his infantry
along the edge Of an oak forest. Rosser
sent a dismounted column led by Gen
eral Munford against Reads front and
column In saddle, led by General
bearing, to make flank attack. Gen
eral Washburn then led out the eighty
cavalrymen and charged bearing and
engaged him In hand to hand fight.
According to Rosser, all of the Federal
troopers were killed, wounded or cap
tured. Rosser charged upon the infan-
try and drove them through the woods,
killing Read In the fight. The infantry
then raised the white flag. Read had
failed to destroy the bridges. but his
stubborn action had alarmed the Con-
federates, and no forward movement
had been made by Longstreet. Rosser
returned to Rice's Station and found
the men Of Ord confronting Longstreet.

of certainEinterests to be protected

Defeat of Montague.

The defeat of Gov. Montague Of Virginia
for United States Senator by Senator Martin
on Tuesday, may result in personal good to
the ambitious young Governor, as it will result
benefcially to Virginia and the country. The
selection was by direct vote in the Democratic
primaries, and an animated canvass had been
in progress for two months. The candidates
went directly before the people, and Senator
Martin was an easy winner.
Gov Montague is brilliant orator and
man Of high attainments. He is not much
above forty years of age, and when he was
elected Governor his appreciation OF himself
rapidly expanded, and he at once essayed TO
supplant Senator Martin. He will now real
ize, perhaps, that applause of oratory and
brilliaucy does rot always mean popularity,
and that enough people admire conservative
judgment and business capacity above silver
tongues to determine elections.

White Men, Remember.

If you voted in 1869 or prior
to that you will only have to
swear to that fact to register
and vote next year.
If your father was a voter in
1869 or prior, you will only
have to establish that fact to be
able to register and vote IN
1906.
If your grandfather was a
voter in 1869 or prior, it will
be only necessary to establish
the fact in order to register and
vote next year.
There will be no change in
registering and voting this year.
The adoption Of the amend
ment will not affect white men.
Under its provisions negroes
will have to be able to read a
section of the constitution and
give a reasonable explanation
of its meaning, or be able to ex-
plain it when read to them.
Negroes were not given the
voting privilege until 1870,
therefore they cannot register
and vote under the ancestor
clause, as white men can.
Read the amendment. 1t
will be found on the first page.
1t is il plain language. Any

On The Level.


The following lines were suggested during visi
This man of God stands on the level,
Not day older grows he;
He has climbed and climbed to the top
And here he will always be.
Do you ask, how has he reached it?
Let us look back and see:
Here are landmarks and here and here,
Each one will serve for key.
Let us begin al the lowest.
And he who runs may read;
Activity stands out foremost
And has stood him in every need.
Activity the first law of nature,
of body, mind and soul
Made useful each precious moment,
Was the first step in reaching the goal.
EarnestnesS, the next great land mark
We find along the way;
This one thing do was his motto,
As he journeyed on, each day
Toward the mark of his calling,
Casting aside every weight
And every sin that did beset him.
on the way TO the open gate.
Then love, highest land mark of beauty,
Allowed him TO pass straight through,
Presenting all things in radiant eolors
To his enchanted view.
Aud now he stands on the level.
Renewing his youth day by day;
Till God in his own good time,
Faithful servant, come higher, shall say.
