Announcement.

To the voters ofthe County of Acco-
mac:
In asking your support for the office
of deputy treasurer of said county, L
desire to submit some claims for your
consideration,
1st. My long and faithful service to
the Democratic party.
End. Have never held an office nor
asked for one, ana should l fail to
secure said position at the coming
election, | will be too old to make a
further effort.
3rd. In disastrous fire 3 years ago
| lost the earnings of my life. Every
effort was made by mys If and son,
together with kind friends of Temper
anceville, to save our store but in vain
Every dollars worth of goods was
burned, property that had worked
hard for. Our creditors made liberal
discounts on our bills, our friends
together with the Masonic fraternity
made us liberal contributions, but
after all that was done for us our losses
were heavy. In order to start little
business we had to mortgage our
homes. Now friends | ask you to help
me secure said office, in order that |
may redeem my home, a home that l
can call my own in my declining
years. Promising to fill the office if
elected to the best of my ability, l am,
Yours truly,
Henry E. Byrd.

Hon. VIM. Jennings Bryan will
again be the standard bearer of the
Democratic party in the next Presi-
Dental contest. Many of the Demo-
cratic politicians do not want him
but the people do, and are too unani-
nous in the conviction that he should
be their leader in the contest to be
thwarted by the objections that are
now being raised against him by the
mugwump statesmen and newspapers
of the country. The Southern people
are too pronounced even in their
choice for him to be deceived by the
effort which is being made to put a
Southern man at the head of the
ticket. His nomination is not only a
foregone conclusion but it is equally
certain that Democrats have no show
ing of winning unless he is their can
didate.

Hon. George w. Koiner, Commits
sioner of Agriculture, it is announced,
has returned from a trip to Europe.
He was sent abroad, as is well known
at the expense of the State Gin behalf
of desirable farming immigration for
Virginia." Laborers for the farm and
household, to be more explicit, are
needed in Virginia and an appropria-
ton of $4,000, the people were in
duced to believe was all that was
necessary to secure them, if that duty
was entrusted to a man with practical
ideas like Mr.. Koiner. Whether his
mission was a success or failure the
people of the State have the right
therefore to know, and it is to be
hoped that he may be induced at an
early day to give an account of his
stewardship. The only advices from
him while he was in Europe was to
the effect, that some men with capital
had consented to cast their lot with
us, and if that was all he accomplish
ed then his mission was a failure as
he was not sent there for that pur-
pose. His trip to Europe in fact, as
we understand it, was to secure labor
and not capital. If he tried to get ii
and failed then that is all there is Of
it but If no effort was made by him in
that direction it is up to him to ex
plain. The people of the State have
the right to know the way in which
their money is expended by their pub
lie servants and especially of him il
his mission was futile one.

At the election held in the State of
Maine, last week, the Republicans
won, but with greatly reduced ma
iority. So small was it in fact, that
the result is almost accepted as a
Democratic victory. For instance,
the Republican candidate for Cover
nor won by only few thousand votes
and Mr.. Littlefield, heretofore a popu-
lar congressman, has only majority
of about 800 votes to his credit. A
similar reduction in other republican
States means a sweeping Democratic
victory this fall and that the next
Congress will be controlled by the
Democratic members.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1906.

The schools of the county open next
Monday, and it is believed, under
brighter auspices than ever before IN
their history. Since the schools were
closed last Spring the trustees, back
ed by their progressive superlntend-
ent. have been active in the work OF
building up-to-date schoolhouses and
remodelling and repairing many
others; have used more care than
ever before in the selection of teach
ers and their continued support is
assured in everything for the better
ment Of the schools. Progress in
fact is their watchword and nothing
less than an eight months session
with every child of the required age
in school will satisfy them. The
patrons. realizing the superior advan-
tages now given their children for OBJ
tanning an education, must and, OF
course, will avail themselves OF them
as far as practicable. To that end,
it is to be hoped, that every child
will be promptly on hand at the
opening of the schools, impressed by
their parents with the duty OF ODE
dience to their teachers and the ne
cessity of being active and vigilant in
their studies, if they would take a
place in the affairs of the world to
which their talents entitle them.
That we wish the teachers and
pupils most successful school year,
goes without saying, and teachers
who do not love their work and strive
to make them so may expect soou to
be retired. In the conduct of their
schools let them above all things en-
deavor to impart to their pupils "such
instruction as will train tnem fer up
right and conscientious citizens,
honest men and women, and let the
pupils study to be such men anc
women of whom we may be PROUD
and upon whom the duties and obi
cations of good citizenship will rest
as a cloak of honor" Thus will the
mission of the public school be full
filed.
