EXHIBIT AT Jamestown

A number of counties in Vir
ginia have made appropriations
for exhibits at the jamestown
Exposition, some of them appro-
Iriating as much as 81, 500. The
Boards of Supervisors of these
counties reco gnize the value of ed
vertising the resources of their
respective counties. The attrf c.
tions thus presented to prospective
settlers will no doubt yield abun-
dant results. The outlay is not
large, end the returns are expect
ed to be commensurate with the
outlay.
This might be subject for con-
sideration by the Board of Super
visors of RockbriGge at their meet
ing in Lexington next Monday. A
small appropriation for modest
exhibit of the resouI ces of Rock
bridge would attract attention.
Grains, seeds and samples of fruits
could be sent in small quantities,
and by the sale of the articles ex-
hibited a considerable portion of
the cost would be met. The State
appropriation provides for the cost
of transportation, hence there
would be no expense on that score.
Rockbridge could make good
exhibit of fruits, grains, grasses,
minerals, etc., and such exhibit
would no doubt attract desirable
settlers to our borders.

We deeply feel our loss in part

high Christian character and
fidelity to the cause of his Master.
HI faithful service to his church,
hit zeal in every department of re-

endeared him to his own congrega-

The churches to which he goes
are to be congratulated or secur-
ing one so devout, SO humble, one
who so adorns the profession he
has made. We will sadly miss his
cheerful face and his loving coun-
sci. He is truly a man of God. His
noble ana consecrdted wife and in
teresting family will bring great
o leasure and benefit to those with
whom they will cast their lot.
May blessings rich attend them
all.

Mr.. Philip Day and family, left

THE ELECTION YESTERDAY
NO SURPRISE

The result of yesterdays cleo
tions throughout the country il
what was forecast some days ago BY
careful and conservative observers
In several States the contest wat
iercely waged. notably in Nav
York, where William Randolph
Hearst, Democratic and Indepen-
deuce League nominee for COVER
nor, was pitted against Charles E.
Hughes. Republican candidate. who
had the strong support of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Mr.. Hughes was
elected by an estimated majority
of from 10000 to $4,000. Before
the election it was claimed that he
would carry the State by 10000
majority. The friends of Mr..
Hearst also predicted his election
by a big majority. The Demo-
Gratis carried nearly all the large
cities of the State, while the rural
districts brought about the Repub-
lican victory.
In Pennsylvania, also, the fight
was hot for governorshlp between
Edwin S. Stuart, Republican, and
Lewis Emery, Jr., Democratic and
lincoln Party nominee. Mr.. Stuart
was elected by something like
100000 majority. The fight in
that State was made against the
Republicans on account of trust in
fluencv and graft. Mr.. Emery led
the people in a strong fight, but
lost.
The Democratic State and Con-
gressional tickets were elected
throughout the South with tine
usual majorities. In the West ano
East the States that two years ago
were aligned in the Democratic or
Republican columns show no
material change, the Democrats
making gains in some instances
and the Republican in others. The
Republicans retain control of Con-
gress, although there have been
slight Democratic gains.
Virginia elected solid Demo-
cratic delegation with the excep-
ton of the Ninth District, which
was carried by Colonel Campbell
Slemp over Mr.Robert P. Bruce by
reduced majority. Judge +. w.
Saunders, Democrat, defeated DIR.
E. W. Simm ons, Republican, in the
Fifth District by small majority.
This is the district represented by
Governor Swanson. Hon. H. u.
Flood defeated Mr.. Emmett ID.
Gregory in the Tenth District by a
large majority.

The crowds that gather around
and in the postoffice every evening
waiting for the opening of the
evening mails has developed into a
considerable nuisance. Il is diff
cult for persons to get through the
crowd in order to secure their
mail. Nor is this difficulty les
sened by the crowding of the post
Office doors. Ladies who find it
necessary to 60 the office unattend-
ed hesitate before pushing their
way into the motley crowd often
gathered there. The disorder In
the postoffice lobby is frequently
of such a character that the pre-
sence of policeman would greatly
improve matters.

Clifton Forge Anxious About
Col. j. A. Frazier

The following article appeared il
last weeks Issue Of the Cliito n Forge
Review and will be read with interest
by the many friends OF Colonel Frazier
in Rockbrdge:
We are some what anxious as to the
whereabouts of our old friend, Colonel
James A. Frazier. He has not been
seen or heard from in week or more,
and It is so unnatural for him to be
out of the city after the closing Of the
Rockbridge Alum Springs. AS there
is campaign In progress some may
think that he Is beating the brush in
Rockbridge for the purpose of getting
out the vote, but as the Stanton con-
vention decided that the campaign was
to remain in the hands OF the Office
holders and as the colonel has re-
signed from the arduous duties of post
master at Rockbridge Alum Springs
and cried aloud, "Get thee behind me,
Satan p to the immense" salary at
tached. we can hardly believe that he
is losing any sleep over the result OF
next Tuesday In the Tenth District.
Speaking of the postmabtershlp at
Rockbridge Alum, which position the
colonel filed with entire satisfaction
until after the Staunton convention,
there was an incident connected with it
that is too good to keep. 1t will be
recalled that the colonel made aspeech
in the Stanton convention against the
office trust, and so effectively did he
hold the officeholders up to derision
that another member of the said con-
who held more important
office, could uot resist the temptation
TO remark "that the postmaster from
Alum was little hard on
those who stood in the same boat with
him.
1t was cruel In this delegate to say
this much, for it has deprived Uncle
Sam of the services OF our good friend,
who forthwith sent in his resignation
and is now a private citizen. Colonel
Frazier has all this time withheld this
piece OF news from the public. He has
passed in and out among US with this
title incident hidden 10 his breast and
70 far from view that we did not even
know that he was no longer presiding
over the affairs Of the Rockbridge Alum
The colonel 81 ,es as an ex |
,use for retiring to private life, that
here are lot of fools, with a big ID

lass aad fourth. class postoffice, and

Frazier deserved better treatment at
he hands of his party. However, as
le Is 10 longer an ofllceholder and does
lot train with the trust, we take it
hat he will be long time calling for
Ielp, but more than probable will
ONE day hear the cry coming from his
Save us, colonel, or els g
re are lost The colonel has saved

enge may not be very far in the dis

All things come to him who waits,

State to Get $4,000 More

A dispatch from Richmond says: In
a few days the members Of the State
Corporation will have completed the
assessment of the properties OF the
railroads dong business in this State.
Last year the Commonwealth derived
from this source Of taxation revenue
approxlmating 100000 and 1t is pre-
dicted that the new assessment will in-
crease the figures by at least $75, 0O0
In addition to this. applications for
charters, all of which are taxable, still
continue to pour in by the dozens.
Thirteen or more were received today.
Only few days ago Judge Crump took
a batch OF seventeen home and devoted
a night to reading them. This inspec-
ton Of the applications entails the
hardest kind of work, but the COM
missioners at least have the consolation
of knowing that the laws under which
they are operating are bringing thou
sands of dollars to the State.

A Lesson for College Students

A Lesson for College Students
The seventy-six students Of the Mary
land Agricultural College who spent
Wednesday night in an improvlsed Jail
in the town Of Hyattsville, and in the
morning had each to pay fine and
costs amounting to 1915 because of the
Halloween pranks they played upon
the streets of the town, must now have
a clearer perception of the dividing line
between harmless fun and intolerable
disorder than they had before this ex-
perience, says the Frederick (Md.)
News. 1t was fun for the boys when
they descended upon the town and pro-
ceeded to play such pranks as removing
gates, displacing signs. etc., but it was
noe fun for those whose property was
damaged and who were put TO the
trouble of undoing the work done by
the students.
yattsvlle, 1t seems, has suffered in
the past from the prank-playiDg pro-
clivities of the students on Halloween
and it is not surprising that this year
officers Icy in wait for them, arrested
them then and locked them up, nor is it sur
prising that the j6stice of the peace
before whom they were taken In the
morning imposed fines upon them.
Some of the boys were aOle to pay
their fines at once, and the Others were
released upon the assurance by the
president OF the college that their fines
would be Iaid. What the college
president said to the students after
getting them ont of Jail is not men
toned in the reports Of the occurrence,
but it is to be supposed that he gave
them lecture suitable to the occasion.
The incident will be productive of good
il 1t serves to to teach the boys that, In
amt sing themselves, there are limits
beyond which they must not go If they
would avoid violating the law and the
rules of decent conduct.
