Business Values In Old Dominion.

Washington, d. c., July 1S.-Vir-
ginia has Sl47, $3.50, lS2 invested in
manufacturing enterprises. The value
of the products of these establish
ments last year was S14s, $3.50, 525. The
total capital invested increased $50, =
$50, 5S3 in five years, which is about
60. 3 per cent A curious fact in con-
nection with the manufacturing inter
ests of the Sta5e is that while there
was such an enormous increase in the
capital employed and the value OF
the output, the number OF establish
ments in 1905 was only one greater
than in 1900. The increase in the
value of the products in the five years
was $40, PIP, 375, or 81 per cent. While
The average number Of wage-earners
increased HOOP, or PIP per cent.
the total wages paid increased
s., 500, l69, or BIS per cent. The
latter figures are extremely sig
nihcaut, as indicating that the en-
plovers of the State are improving

A movement is reported, as having
recently come to light to the effect,
that mine workers and leaders of other
labor organizations throughout the
country are organizing with the view
of securing for John Mitchell, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America. the second place on the
ticket,if Bryan is selected as the nomi-
nee for President.
That Mr.. Bryan will be the standard
bearer of the Democratic party in the
next Presidential contest is now
generally accepted as foregone con-
clusion, and it seems to be equally
certain that he will be the candidate
too, not of politicians and the uphold
ers of trusts and combines, but of the
rank and file of the voters of the
country, regardless in a great degree
of their past political affiliations.

Historic Church's Celebration of 200th
Anniversary

Yeocomico Church, in COple parish
Westmoreland county, began the
celebration of its two-hundredth an
niversary on Sunday at II o'clock.
The exercises began With morning
prayer, sermon and holy communion.
Bishop Gibson was celebrant and Rev.
Mr.. Castleman the preacher. Rev.
Albert R. Walker was preacher in the
evening. The services extended
through Monday and Tuesday. The
offerings of all the services were de
voted to an endowment fund, which
has reached several hundred dollars,
contributed by people all over the
country.
Inasmuch as George Washington e
birthplace is not far from YeOcOmico
and as he is known to have been in
charge of relatives in his infancy who
were visiting that section, it is strong
ly supported tradition that YeOcom-
leo is the place of Washington &
baptism. The old font still remains,
among such relics as sun dial and a
portal with a wicket.
The old church is very popular, and
during the vast year has been well
attended. 1t is confidently believed
that the purpose to procure 600 OF
$4,000 for a permanent repair fund
will be successful.

SATURDAY, JULY q, 1906.

Tho Tidevater members of the Leg
islature are reported, as being IN FAVOR
of a special session of that body Oy
MIR. Harry Houston, member OF the
House of Delegates from Elizabeth
Citv county. The reason for an extra
session. however, was not given by
the reporter in Richmond who inter
viewed him in regard TO the matter
The statement simply was given OUT
that there was a demand for it, "en-
larged by the turning down of Joe
Button by the Corporation Commits
siOn."
Mr.. Houston may be able to give
some reason for the faith that is in
him." in regard to the matter, but II
will have to be a better one than the
one submitted by him in the interest
of Mr.. Button. The creation OF the
office of Commissioner of Insurance,
to which Mr.. Button was appointed,
carrying a salary of 50, 500 with clerk
at 81, 800, was regarded at the time
the bill passed the Legislature as toe
much of a raid on the treasury ano
the pockets of the taxpayers to be
accepted with such favor now, as tc
make popular the demand for al
extra session of the Legislature. The
members of this section of Tide
water, we believe, see no reason
for an extra session and the heavy
expense to which it would subject the
people of the State. The necessity
for it, we believe, will be as much
surprise to them as it is to us.

Commissioner of Agriculture Koi-
ner, who left some weeks ago on a
visit to England and the countries OF
Northern Europe, in the interest of
immigration, has been heard from.
In a late interview he is reported as
snying, that he is not seeking pauperS
and drones, but men of brain and
Drawn, of industry and energy for
importation into Virginia. Mr.. Koi-
ner, everyone will agree, is right in
looking for laborers only who will
give an honest days work for a fair
compensation, as we have too many
of the worthless kind now. If ne
succeeds, this State will be amply
compensated for the expense entailed.
