stannton a First Glass City.

The Court of Appeals yesterday re-
fused to grant writ Of mandamus and
prohibition in the Stanton census cases,
which means that the Augusta metrop-
oils henceforth will stand in the category
of frst-clssS Virginia cities. This de-
cision of the tribunal will recesslale a
reorganization of the City Council into
two separate branches. After the new
census was taken and il was found that
stanton, owing to the annexation OF
certain territory, had population OF
more than 10000, the point was made
that the inmates of the Western State
Hospital, the Deaf, Dumb and Blind
School aid other public institutions
should not be included in the number Of
inhabitants. The court held, however,
that these unfortunates were rightinliy
included, and thereby followed the prec-
edent set by the United States CENSUS
officials.

OutJet Of Big Sewer.

A mud-dSgging machine has started
the work Of making toe excavation
throuch .he flats on the District side OF
the river, short distance above the
Believes naval magazine, for the outlet
Of the big sewer which has been built
over the Eastern branch and Is now be-
inc constructed through the portion OF
the District lying south Of the Eastern
branch to where the machine is now
digging. A trench, i is stated, is to be
dug from the deep water OF the channel
to a point inshore, and in this trench
the outlet pipes, which will carry the
sewage. will be laid so ~ to make
them disch re at the bottom OF the
river. The location OF the sewer outlet
at that point WAS the cause OF friction
between the authorities of the District OF
Columbia and Alexandria, il being
claimed that an easterly wind will blow
all The sewage discharged at that point
across the river and into the docks here,
aud will make this city unhealthy. Two
or three weeks will be required by The
dredging machine to complete It's por'
ton OF the task, although the work "il
be pushed vigorously.

Daniel Scores Powder Trust.

Declaring that the nations deienses
were seriously menaced by the powder
trust, Senator Daniel appealed for the
amendment providing for construction
of a government factory during Ehe dis
cussion of the Notifications bill which
was passed by the Senate Yesterday. He
said that The manufacture Of smokeless
powder was completely monopolized by
the international Company, aud that
not pound could be secured except
from that company. The United States
could, be said, build and equip tour
plants at $3.50, 900 each, pay for them
out of the profits "extorted" from the
government in the course of year, and
have more than million dollars left.
He declared that our battleships carry
powder sufficient only to sustain ire
of half an hour. We have on hand
only 4, 900, 600 pounds of powder, he said,
and declared that in case of war it would
be soon shot into the air. This he did
not consider a safe condition. The bill
carries an appropriation of s., 52S, 600
and provides 1925, 900 for the erection
of n factory.

Boat Capsized.

Mr.. II. NJ. HICKMAN and his brother
had thrilling experience early last
night while IN batteau near the Dyke,
short distance below this city. They
left here in the afternoon for the pur-
pose of placing some articles in an ark
aud while on the return trip their boat
was capsized. Both men found them
selves up their necks 10 chilly water,
and they made their way to the shore as
best they could They finally reached
the station at the Dyke where they
awaited a northbound electric rain which
brought them to this city. Their cloth
ing was wet and torn when the two men
reached their homes Their guns add
other articles we're lost by the accident
The boat is almost a fac smile OF the

An infant, but a few days old, was
placed at the front door of the Chill
dren's Home, southwest corner OF
Duke and Royal streets, early last
night. The police say the deposit was
\. hv woman who was cad 10
black suit, black furs, and black hat.
After placing the ch:ld at the door she
rang he bell and fed. The officers started
in search of her Immediately. Ii was
said that she boarded an electric car for
Washington. She bad well-worn
satcheI in her hand The infant was
scantily clad and would have frozen to
death had it been long exposed to the
cold. Il is said that a strange woman
with an infant reached this city about
halfpast six O'Clock Yesterday morning
via the G. &. o. road, and since the
baby was left at the home her where
ab.uts have been sought. There is an
other theory, however, which seems
more probable which the police are ioi-
loving up. Captain Boardmau, OF
Washington has notified the authorities
Of this city ttat be is using every exer-
tion 10 identify the woman wanted 10

Straight Flush Beat Four Aces.

w. S. Price, of Virginia Beach, drew
tour aces in a poker hand at the Wash
ingtop House, in Norfolk, recently, and
thought i. .hame to have only $50 on
the game. He had no more than this
with him, but, delaying the play a
moment, he bad Proprietor JOhn I.
Lewis cash his check for $500. He bet
this aud his 80. His opponent quickly
exhibited straight flush and pocketed
the cash. Disguised, Price returned to
Virginia Beach, and declaring he had
been film TANNED, he ordered his bank
to refuse payment on the check he had
given. Lewis Immediately sued to re-
cover the s4OO, and in court yesterday
disclaimed any KNOWLEDGE that gambling
was going on in his place. He won his
suit, and Price will have topay the S4OO
check.

NEWSPAPER ROMANCING.

1t is rather amusing to notice the
recent continuous efforts of the Vir-
ginia Democratic daily newspapers to
inspire the Democrats of this district
with the hope of electing a Congress-
man this Fall. The Lynchburg News
and the Roanoke times are making
themselves especially conspicuous in
this effort. Their columns almost daily
contain some editorial or news refer
ence, telling how this or that Democrat
can be elected to Congress from the
Ninth District. But persons who are
informed know that the News and the
Times are influenced morein their work
by spirit of commercialism than any
honest belief that the Democrats can
carry the Ninth. 1t is notorious that
these two paper have for several years
been holly contesting for supremacy in
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1906-08-16
REPUBLICAN, PLATFORM

1.-THE Republicans of the Ninth Con-
gressional district of Virginia, in con-
vention assembled at Marion, Va, on
the 10th day of June, 1906, make the
following declarations:
First. We declare our unalterable
devotion to and confidence in the prin-
ciples and policies of the national Re-
publican party as heretofore set forth
in its platforms and exemplified by the
splendid administrations of William Nc
Kinley and Theodore Roosevelt. And
we hereby express our admiration for
the devotion to duty and supreme pa
triotism which have inspired President
Roosevelt in his efforts to elevate
American citizenship and uphold the
rights of the people.
Second. We endorse the record and
work of our representative in Congress,
the Hon. Campbell Slemp, and assert
without fear of successful contradiction
that no more faithful and efficient rep
resentative has ever represented the
people of this district in the national
House of Representatives. And should
it be the will of this convention that he
again carry the flag of the party in this
district, we pledge him our united sup
port and promise him triumphant VIC
tory at the November election.
''Third. We believe in a priceless
ballot, and so believing, most heartily
condemn the detestable, partisan suf-
frage and registration laws that have
been treacherously fastened upon the
people of Virginia by the Virginia De-
mocracy. By the adoption and applica-
ton of the poll-tax qualification, both
as prerequisite to registration and vot-
ing, and by so-called educational quail
ification for registration many thousands
of worthy citizens in this district and
throughout the State have been de-
prived of the most sacred of rights
the right to vote-and are forced to
bear heavy share of the burdens of
taxation without being allowed to have
any share in representation. The Re-
publicans in this district hereby declare
that they will not cease to condemn and
contest these iniquitous suffrage laws
until non-partisan and priceless ballot
is again restored to the people.
Fourth. We appeal to the people of
the Ninth Congressional district, with
out regard to former party affiliations,
to unite with US and elect as our repre-
sentative in Congress a man who en-
dorses and stands with the financial and
economic policies that have been and
are now developing the mineral, agri-
cultural and other resources of our sec
ton of Virginia, that have brought
prosperity and happiness to all classes
of our people, and that have made US,
not only the greatest producing, but
the greatest consuming nation of the
world.
Fifth. We condemn the action of
the last Democratic Legislature of Vir-
ginia for taking from the people of this
State the right to elect their commits
sioners of revenue.
"Sixth. We heartily endorse the ac-
ton of our State chairman and State
committee in their untiring efforts to
redeem the State from Democratic mis-
rule; and for the high plane on which
they conducted the last Republican CUB
ernatorial campaign. p"
