AGREE NOT TO BUY VOTES.
McCabe n the Hearst League Of Albany
sign the Agreement.

ALBANY, Oct. 28.-Leading citizens last
week started a movement to have party
leaders in this city agree not to spend money
10 influence voters on election day. A
committee was appointed and an agree
ment drawn to that effect, which to-day
was signed by State committeeman p. Z.
McCabe for the Democratic party and by
representatives OF the Independence League,
State Committeeman William B. Barnes,
Jr., representing the Republican party,
said he would consider the question of his
signing the agreement. IL Is not likely
that he will, as it is understood he has a
letter from Representative j. Sloat Fassett
that the Democratic leaders did not keep
the Elmira compact not to spend money
in the last municipal campaign there.

Rest ssinted mother, helpmeet friend,
From all thy works so nobIy done;

Yet Joy that thou the crown has won.
That thou hast found the rest so sweet.
For which thou earnestly didst long.
And now dost sit at Jesus feet,
And mingle with the ransomod thronx.
And with thy loved ones gone before.
Whom thou didst yearn again to- see.
Now thou shaltbe forevermore.

Thy hands doth beckon us to come.

than Is cents per box.
1t is unlawful to shoot robins until
February 18th. The open season is from
that date to April LIST. But no friend
OF the farmer will kill, or permit to be
killed if possible to prevent, this valu-
able bird. 4es

SOME TEMPERANCE NOrEs.

The South Carolina House of Represen-
tatives has passed the bill TO abolish the
State dispensary, and it is probable that
the Senate will concur. : Alexandria

White Stone Anti-Saloon League will
meet at White Stone Methodist Church
next Tuesday 2:30 p. m. A full atten-
dance is desired at this meeting as it
will be district rally.
A. Caporini, proprietor of Rich
mond bar and lunch room, was found
guilty of selling to minors and fined
5000 and put under $500 bond for twelve
months. On the charge of selling whis-
key without license he was fined 5000
and given four months in Jail.
The temperance people of Westmore-
land county are rallying to the support
Of the Anti-Saloon league. They have
recently made a raid on the speakeasies
IN that county, and it is said that it is
likely that more than dozen indict-
ments viii be made at thenext term ROT
the Circuit Court.
The activity of the Anti-Saloon league
and alleged temperance organizations
was shown when Senator Stands, rose
to present petition In the Senate in
favor Of safeguarding and enforcing
the Mann bill. In single moment II
other Senators were on their feet try
ing to get the attention of the chair to
present similar petitions from their
constituents. Alexandra Gazette.
NO ATTACK ON APPLE CIDER.
The attitude of the Virginia anti
saloon league toward the sale of apple
cider has been incorrectly interpreted,
resulting in misleading press state
ments.
Item on petition now in circulation
reads: ITO prohibit the sale of So
called pure elders, or similar mixtures,
without liquor license" 1t is our
purpose to have a measure so safe
guarded as not to prohibit the farmers
from making and selling apple cider,
but to prohibit the sale of the so-called
pure" or chemical cider and other in
toxicating mixtures which are being
sent out under fictitious names by
wholesale houses to our country dis
tricts and sold to the detriment of the
sobriety and health of many citizens.

A FEARFUL mistake has been made
in our dealings with China. The
exclusion of Chinese was demanded
by our western civilization, but prob
ably it was exercised too rigldly.
Some of the results of our dealings
with the celestisls were the cruel
Boxer uprisings of two or three years
ago, and the more disastrous (com-
mercislly) boycotting of American
goods. This boycott continued, and
will continue for a generation, no
matter how we make amends, for the
Ohinee is as unforgiving as be is dark
in his tricks and his ways. But some
thing still worse looms up in the
near future. Another massacre, more
horrible than any yet, of missionaries
and foreigners is on the program.
The Chinese government admits that
1T cannot much longer hold the popu-
lace In check, and America and other
powers are rushing troops to the East.
