SAVES WORRY.

There is much seasonable truth in
the declaration of the Franklin News
that practically everything you buy
for Christmas gifts will keep all right
from now until the 25th. 1t is, there
fore, perfectly safe to do your shop
ping now, before the crowds become a
worry and the clerks are overushed
with orders and the best goods are
picked out and taken home by more
forehanded people. Such course is a
charity to the shopkeepers and their
helpers, it saves lot of rushing about
at the last of the season and gives you
a chance for more deliberate selec-
tion.'

This WORK OF MERCY

The Altoona Tribune looks upon the
appropriation for the hospital for the
insane at this place in the following
light: "The Danville hospital for the
insane will ask for $40O. 600 from the
coming legislature. An appropriation
Of $s5, 900 for temporary buildings
which were never erected will go back
to the State. This institution and all
others that provide for the helpless
classes and that are under exclusive
State control should have all that is
needed to properly provide for their
patients. This work of mercy should
have precedence over roads and schools
for the reason that the insane and the
feeble minded are helpless"

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENTS VIEW
Says John S. Wise Recommended Cap

"kinsman" Clear Road to the Local
Custom House.

In commenting upon the fight being
made upon the confirmation of Captain
j. r. b. Stuart as collector of Gus.
toms at Newport News. the Washing
ton correspondent of the Richmond
| Tfmes-Dispatch said yesterday:
There is an apparent desire on the
part of many Virglnians to see the
nomination confirmed. The fact that
Captain Stuart hears historic name
has something to do with this senti.
ment aside from the consideration
that q Republican is bound to be an
pointed to the office. in any event.
Mr.. John S. Wise. of New York.
Is opposing the confirmation of MIR
Stnari's nomination with great bitter
ness. The former wants 10 see his
kinsman, Mr.. A. G. Peachy. appoint.
cd 10 The position. Mr.. Peachy was
an applicant long imc ago. So was
Mr.. Stuart. The incumbent of the
office al that time had short while
10 serve. Meanwhile. Mr. Wise came
down here and got busy at the White
| House, and induced the President to
remove Morgan Treat from the office
OF marshal of the western district and
appoint Mr. Stuart 10 the place. In
| this way. dangerous opponent of
MIR. Wise'S kinSman for the place Of
collector of the port Of Newport News
was eliminated. Shortly after the ap.
poinlment OF Mr.. Stuart to the mar.
shalship. the collector of the port OF
| Newport News died. and Mr.. Stuart
resigned the place OF marshal and was
appointed collector. while Mr. Treat
was reinstated in his old office of
marshal. II is easy To see how this
swap of places by Mr.. Stuart has

| WISE
When n Daily Press reporter called
| Mr.. A. c. Peachy's attention to the
foregoing paragraphs. he denounced
the portion quoted as n fahrcaii ion
pure and simple.

"John S. Wise is not Il linsman OF
