A Day Enjoyed.

The children, citizens and tea cher, Miss Ethel Julian, enjoyed one of the most pleasant days ever enjoyed on Reeves school grounds on last Saturday. The school being taught on the 4th of July, they decided to take a day for a picnic. There was no one ex- pected to be there except the school and teacher, but the patrons and friends gave us pleasant sur prise by coming with their wagons and buggies we'll loaded with mel ons and all kinds of delicious fruits. At noon the table was made ready with fine dinner, the many of the finest melons were opened and placed around the table, then the children were orderly arranged back of the table and their pictures were made. In the afternoon about five gallons of cream was served, a few recitations and jolly time for all. All who attended re- port a good time and say that they think that the work on education will be better in the future than 1t has ever been in the past.

TELEPHONE EAvEsDROppINc.

A Philadelphia lawyer who has tele.
phone on four party wire in his house
had recent experience of human curl
osity. On such telephone arrange
ment any or ali of the four subscribers
may hear any conversation if they wish
to eavesdrop. The lawyers wife sus-
pected one of the neighbors of caves
dropping. Saturday." said the law
yer, ''she held prearranged conversa-
ton over the telephone with me, and
suddenly shut me off. She explained
that one of her neighbors was caves
dropping, and that she intended to have
the thing stopped. i know the woman
well. she said,. and the next time she
speaks to me I'll insult her. Later nv
wife explained that she could tell the
culprit when she avoided her. Next
day we went to church to make the test
and met an awful shock. Not one of our
three neighbors on the party line no.
ticed us, although they had always been
very friendly. My wife found the Gull
prits all right, but she had neglected to
figure on the natural curiosity of all
women.

The large shellpiles in Carter's creek
are rapidly disappearing. A number of
planters are buying and planting.
A man from -Blackwater, Md. has
had harvest of muskrats; he has paid
as high as 40 cents a piece for them
and invested aboutSs, 900 in furs. "Dia-
mond backs" are plentiful in Maryland.
In one night a catch amounted to
$275. The Oysterman.
Messrs. Lewis & Elliot of Chincotea-
que Island. caught last Wednesday
morning and shipped north one of the
largest surgeons ever caught around
these parts. The big fish weighed,
dressed, $50 pounds and attracted a
great deal of attention while lying on the
dock ready for shipment The Oyster
man.
Crabs are shedding in these waters
in large quantities now, but prices are
so low in the cities that it does not pay
to catch them. u. b. Pruitt. of
Merry Point, shipped Is dozen on April
10th for which he got l5cts, after ex-
penses were paid, and his son, L. b.
Pruitt, shipped about double that num-
Der on which he realized nothing after
the freight was paid. However, prices
are advancing little as the crabs get
larger.
Fifty thousand bushels of seed oys-
tiers have been taken from Northamp-
ton county and carried to Accomac
county, and some to New Jersey. At
least three-fourths of them were taken
from private beds and great many of
them stolen. Our oyster season for
working on the public rock is entirely
too long and should close the last day
of December each year, which would
afford great protection to the planter
as well as the catcher. If what oysters
that are taken from the rocks in the
spring could remain on the rock until
the fall they would be worth twice as
much as they are in the spring. The
oystermen are expecting better protec-
ton from the new board this summer
on the seaside than the old board has
given them. We find from the annual
report OF the old board that there was
$724S-26 collected an the seaside and
four and one-half per cent. of this
amount expended in policing seaside
and "a per cent. of what was collected
on the bay side was expended in polio
ing the bay side. Is this fair treat
ment to the Observation-Disclosures
Times.

POLITICAL.

William j. Bryan and Col. Thomas b.
Davis were Endorsed by West Virginia
democratic convention for the 1908 ma
tional ticket.
The democratic party has begun
their Congressional Campaign. The
committee will maintain western head
quarters at Chicago. Central head
quarters in Washington. The demo-
Gratis believe that tariff revision will be
an issue this year and expect to win
many seats in western states.
A Ninth district democrat, speaking
of Congressional timber, says: Eve want
General Rufus a. Ayers, of Big Stone
Gap, to offer himself for the nomination.
We can elect General Ayers and the
people of all the counties in the dis
trict will support him, and he will
widen the breach in the Republican
ranks"
According to the redistricting bill,
which passed at the recent session of
the legislature, the following counties
now compose the First congressional dis
trict:Accomac, Northampton, Lancaster,
Richmond, Northumberland, westmore-
land, Gloucester, Middlesex, Matthews,
Essex, King and Queen, Caroline,
Spotsylvania, Elizabeth City, Warwick,
York and the cities of Newport News
and fredericksburg.
In the primary held in the sixth con-
gressional district of Alabama recently,
Capt. Richmond P. Hobson, of Santiago
fame. defeated the present Representa-
tive, Bankhead, who has been a mem
Der of congress for 20 years. Hobson
was showed under two years ago by
Bankhead. AS this district is strongly
democratic the nomination is equivo-
lent to an election. There is talk of
Hobson ruling the field as presidential
candidate.
When the democratic party was dis
rupted over the financial issue at the
beginning of the second term of Presi-
dent Cleveland, how jubilant the re-
publicans were and how confident of
success in the then coming congress
sional electicns Now history repeats
itself and the tables are turned, for II
is the democrats who are now jubilant
and encouraged and the republicans
discouraged and facing defeat. Alex

ROOSEVELT CAPTURES SOUTH.

1t is believed that President Roose,
welt and Secretary Taft had a well
defined purpose in view when they took
the Uuited States cruiser Columbia
from the citizens of Philadelphia and
sent her to New Orleans for the Con.
federate Veterans Reunion. This act
has so pleased the South that it has
done much to break down sectional lines,
being the first time in history that q
Federal warships was sent to a Confeder.
ate reunion. The people of Philadel-
phia wanted the Columbia to come
there and assist in the celebration OF
the birth of Benjamin Franklin. But
the President desired the Columbia t.
go to New Orleans because of the sig.
nificance of the name Columbia.

An engineer states that the area de-
vastated by fire in San Francisco APP
proximates 10000 acres, or about Is
square miles. There are few cities in
the world where so much valuable pro-
perry is contained in an equal territory.
Within this Is square miles were nearly
100 banks, some of the finest buildings
in the world; thousands of mercantile
and manufacturing establishments and
more than 2S0, 900 inhabitants, besides
40, 900 transients. Notwithstanding the
enormous and widespread destruction,
the homes of $50, 900 people are still
standing and practically uninjured.
There still remain the great shipyards
at the Potrero, the Pacific Mail docks,
the stockyards at South San Francisco,
the docks and manufactures along the
water front from Mission Creek to
Hunters Point, the mint, the postoffice
and a large retail district on Fillmore
and Devisadero streets.
The insurance losses WILDE shared by
l07 companies and the total for which
they are liable is estimated at $175, 00O,
600 to $500, 900, 600.
Earthquakes have occurred daily since
April Is at Salinas, CAL, ZOO, OOC
damage having been done, and the Salinas
river has sunk in about IL feet.
Including the appropriations by Con-
gress, the fund for the relief of San
Francisco sufferers now exceeds $19,-
OO0,000, with indications that the gen
crosby of the American people will be
equal to any further demands of legiti-
mate nature for purely philanthropic
purposes.
Many offers of relief have come from
foreign nations, among them 1915, DOC
from the Empress Dowager of China,
and 500, 900 by the Mikado of Japan,
whose people are starving, out of his
private purse, all of which were refused.
AS further proof of volcanic distur-
Dances through the Dismal Swamp and
along territory contiguous to Lake
Drummond, Jericho canal, which has
not been ,warterless for many years,
has gone dry. This canal is feeder
for the lake, and its dryness will mean
subsiding of the lake. Providing the
same conditions prevail all summer, the
historic body of water may be con-
verted into baked and cracked land
surface.
