the author tells us, the whole, much more
about himself than is strictly necessary. He is
ncorrigible, too, in the reproduction of thrice
told tales bringing in some "chestnuts' of ap-

biographer writing at this time of day should
think it worth while to repeat that quaintest of
all of Lady Beaconsfied's remarks about the per-
sonal charms of her famous husband. We can
only understand the printing of the three hoary
anecdotes in the twentieth chapter of Mr.
Stoker's first volume on the hypothesis that he
is proud of their having been told to him by the
late Lord Tennyson But when we have noted
these faults and the rather formless character
of the book may cordially commend Mr.

With Il loyalty that is always engaging and IS

record of his long association manager with
Henry Irving. The relation between the two
men was not simply of business nature Each
had an affectionate regard for the other ana

involved the sympathy and enthusiasm which
will illumne even the most prosaic of labors'
The two had, matter of fact, an interest to

A VALLEY THAT I LOVE.
BY ETHEL ASHTON EDWARDS.

NV a valley lined with pastures deep,
A place of rest where one may close awhile
Eyes weary of the strife, and learn to smile
In sleeping one long sleep.
While Nature held her breath,

Unchanged by all the hateful change of years.

gone to excess, thinking that they
would be the only ones to put in a

seen how they will come out. The
rain affected only those who had their

OF hail owing to the cold wind which
preceded the rain. Reror say that

The death warrant of William Lee,
the Somerset county negro, has not
been signed by the governor of Mary
land and will not be, it is stated, until
the day OF execution, when he will be
sneaked into the county and hanged
The information contained i'll the
above seems to indicate that mob law
prevails in Maryland and the good
name of that State is thereby, We be-
lieve, unjustly assailed. The statement
that it is necessary to hang acriminal,
who has been tried and condemned
in Maryland by stealth from fear o.
her own people, is too much at vari-
ance with the reputation of her peo-
pie as law-abiding citizens for us tC
accept it as correct. If the brute had
been caught and hanged soon after
the crime had been committed by
him the good name of Maryland
would not have been injured in the
estimation of most people, but now
that he has been tried and convicted
it seems to US that the State owes il
"for the vindication OF her owl
authority and dignity to have this
man hanged in Somerset county open
ly and in an orderly way, and if nee
essary to have enough troops present
to so overawe the forces of disorder
that there shall be no danger of dis
turbance or outbreak"

In his address before the Farmers
Institute in session at Roanoke, Presi-
dent Johnson, of the Norfolk and
Western Railroad, made the remarka-
BILE statement that there are twelve
million acres of tillable, but untitled,
lands within the borders of the State
of Virginia, and that every acre Of
this land, with intelligent, compre-
hensive and energetic work, can pro-
duce a crop that will bring a profit to
the man who engages in simply prac-
teal farming" Commenting on the
statement the Times-Dispatch says:
With our waste lands under cultiva-
ton, anu with all our lands under eX-
pert and scientific cultivation, the
farm product of Virginia would be in
creased many fold and the wealth of
the State increased accordingly. Ii
is important that we build up our
manufacturing industries and our
commerce, but it is more important
that we build up the agricultural in
dustry and bring it up to the highest
state of perfection. If we should do
this, Virginia would be one of the
wealthiest and most prosperous of all
the States of the Union.

SATURDAY, july IA, 1906.

At recent meeting of the James
town Exposition Commission the re-
port was made not only of most
gratifying interest on the part of the
people of the State in all the walks of
life but, it was stated, that great
majority of the leading counties in
the ate will make individual ex-
hibits in addition to that OF the State.
That the show is to be a big success
now seems to be no longer questioned
and the query is pertinent, perhaps
is AccOmac to be among the leading
counties" that will help to contribute
to its success? II is up to the Board
of Supervisors of our county to
answer and we refuse to believe, that
as one of the eight original shires OF
the old Commonwealth We will not be
represented at the Exposition. Pride
in our county demands that much OF
us and the opportunity TO exhibit the
products of our soil TO the world, in a
way that will never be again pre-
scented to us, seems to make IL impera-
tive that so important a matter be
not overlooked by us. The good prices
which we have been receiving Of late
years for our products, due TO the
opening up of new markets for them
by the Eastern Shore Produce EX-
change, furnishes too convincing
proof to be questioned, that other
markets will be opened to us and still
better prices will be realized by Us
if we avail ourselves of the oppor'
tunity which the Exposition will give
us, to let the people not only of ou
country but of the world know Of the
excellence of the products of our soil
