TWO PROMINENT YOUNG MEN
To Continue Business at the Old
Stand OF 4. c. Wolfe E Son.

Mr.. Howard Nelson. who has
been in the employ of G.. S. s. ].
F. Marchant for the past six OF
seven years will, on April /. start
in business with Mr.. Wyatt Wolfe
under the firm name of Wolfe &
Nelson. They will conduct the
business formerly controlled by
A. G.. Wolfe s. Son. The elder
Mr.. Wolfe will retire to private
life. Both of these young gen.
tlemen are too well known to
need much boosting at our hands.
and, as they are energetic and
genial. we have no doubt that
they will be able tc get their
share of the patronage of the
trade of Mathews. We pre-
dict success for them, and we
have no doubt that their large
host of friends will see that they
get it.

TO undo what had been done than
to follow the same tactics. Mr..
Rev had a local oyster bill pass
the House and go to the Senate.
Senator Sears was found as one
wiling to tack an amendment for
patent tougs. When the bill as
amended came back to the House
Mr.. Rev didn't know his own off
spring. His bill had been emas-
cuiated, and nothing but the pat
ent tong clause left. He pitched
In with vigor to kill the trans
formed kid, but Representatie
Curlett had laid his plans and,
with Speaker Cardwell's quiet
help, won out for patent tongs.
In closing we desire to say to
some who became doubling
Thomases because they did not
see notice in the Richmond pa
pers or the CITIZEN of a patent
tong bill being introduced. that
had Messrs. Curlett, Sears and
other friends gone at it with
trumpets and a brass band their
cherished object would never
have touched bottom. Further
we must impress them with the
fact that although they have the
right 20 use these tongs for two
years anyhow. they should know
that at some future time their
disuse must be advoCated.-VIR-
GINA CITIZEN.

REGULATING COMMERCE,

- The regulation of railroad rates
is engaging the attention of the
Senate of the United States, and
many of the ablest men in that
august body have delivered no
table speeches in its discussion
speeches of power. of elCquence
and logic. Many of the Senators
have enriched the literature of
our latter day with their luminous
discussions of the question now
of greatest interest to the Ameri-
can people. We have heard from
such distinguished Senators as
Foraker of Ohio against the bill
now being considered, in a SUI
perb effort characterized by the
brilliant and eloquent Senator
Raynor of Maryland. as one
of the greatest speeches ever
heard in any judicial forum or
legislative assemblage." Sena-
tor Rayner himself upon this
proposition so vital to the people,
illuminated the discussion with
so splendid a speech in behalf of
the bill that this one effort alone
would proclaim him a statesman
of whom any constituency would
be proud. upon whose intellect
and ability they could with con-
fidence rely. Senator Bailey of
Texas, always forceful, by his

and while this momentous fight
is being waged in the greatest
parliamentary body on earth, we
confidently expect to see Vir-
ginia's Senators in the fray hold
ing their own against all corners,
and maintaining Virginia's an
cient prestige in all matters
of constructive craftsmanship.
Watch and see Senator Daniel
lock horns with such men as
Knox of Pennsylvania and Hale
of Maine, and Senator Martin
taking issue with such luminaries
as Spooner of Wisconsin and
Beveridge of Indiana and by
their learning, research and
craftsmanship, aid in ascertain

timent but there's nothing like being

The charges of extravaganza or
rather contemplated extravaganza
which the Tribune and Herald made
against the board are absurd in the
extreme, based on misstatements and
eXparte statements of the boards esti-
mate of the amount of money which
will be required to run the schools
the coming year. The articles in those
papers show either willful misrepre-
sentation or dense ignorance. The
fact is that the schools are managed
with rigid economy, great skill and
without even a suspicion of graft.
Sometimes newspapers are deceived,
other times they willfully allow them
selves to be deceived(O. In the pres
ent irrJtance the latter is the case.
The former clerk of the board of edu-
cation who has never gotten over be-

IN fact, which have never yet been
published, is ever on the alert in a
sneaking way to bring discredit on
the board of education and the schools.
1t is well known from where the news
papers get their tips" regarding the
board of education. Some of them
want those kind of tips" although
they know their falsity and the malice
behind them. Ordinary common sense
dictates that it would be wise for a
ripster so vulnerable to maintain a
discreet silence lest forbearance cease
to be virtue.

over a bone. l am unable to say what
the effect of the speech will be on
North Carolina, but by many of the
thoughtful people of the south Mr..
Taft's suggestions were heartily ap-
proved. l do not think it will have
any lasting influence, however. Talk
is cheap and it will require more than
a speech to change the political lines
of the SOUTH"
At this point Senator McLaurin
drifted from politics to cotton.
"The SOUTH" he said, ''has just had
six years of the geartest prosperity and
manufacturing development that it has
ever experienced. We have received
such large prices for our cotton in
the last four years that it has put
the entire south in excellent shape.
Our greatest trouble now is the scar
city of labor. The situation has really
become acute, especially on the farms.
There has been so much railroad
building, saw mill construction and
other enterprises of this sort that the
larger wages paid by them have strip
ped the plantation of hands. We did
not feel this shortage of labor so much
last year as the seasons were favor
able to the cultivation of crops. But
this year we have had excessive rains
and the crops are very grassy. In
some sections it has been found impos-
sible to cultivate the acreage put in
to cotton. / have just been through
North and South Carolina and l do
not remember in eighteen or twenty
years to have seen the crops in such
bad condition, as they are now. 1t is
chiefly due to the lack of labor. 1t
looks very much to me as If we had
reached that point where in order
to continue to develop we must have
some other source of labor. If we
could get Italian labor it would be
the best, but in order to get it we
would certainly have to receive a
larger price than we are now getting
for our cotton. We would have to pay
Italian labor $3.50 day and the price
of cotton would not permit this"
