SOME DEATHS.

Captain William G. Wilkinson, for
merly on the police force and later with
the City Engineering Department, and
one of the best-known men in Richmond,
died last week at the Virginia Hospital
He was grand tiler of the Grand Lodge
of Masons in Virginia.
Mrs. Jno. Simonson, of Simonsons,
Richmond county, who was taken to
Baltimore about two weeks ago by Or.
Blight Harrison for an operation, died
in hospital in that city Sunday night.
She was about so years of age and is
survived by her husband, one son and
a daughter, Mrs. E. d. Booker. Inter-
ment at Farnham Baptist church.
At S:15 o'clock Wednesday morning
of this week the spirit of Mrs Virginia
Eubank, which had for the past two
weeks reluctantly remained in its
earthly tabernacle, fed to the God
which gave it. Mrs. Eubank's long
life had been one of exceptional Chris
tan beauty and her devotion to and un-
firing labors in the church of her choice
the Baptist faiths worthy of imi-
tation. She had nearly reached the
allotted span of life-three score years
and ten-when the end came, which was
directly from stroke of paralysis suf-
fered some two weeks before. Mrs.
Eubank, with her three single daughters,
had but recently moved to Kilmarnock
from Ottoman, where she lived with
her son, DR.. Eubank, until his death in
March. She is widow of the late Thos.
Eubank, and is survived by son, T.
j. Eubank, and two married daughters,
Mrs. Wilmer Harding and Mrs. Rock,
all of Northumberland county, besides
the three daughters who were her COM
panions in old age. Interment was at
IL O'Clock Thursday morning in the
family burying ground at the old
Eubank home near Lancaster Court
house.
Upper Lancaster was shocked Friday
evening last by the sudden death of
Mrs. X. L. Gould, of Monaskon. She
was in her usual good health all day.
About $50 O'Clock Mr.. Peckham, a cousin
of Mr. Gould, called to see them, but
not seeing any one went in and called
for Mr.. Gould. After awhile he heard
faint cry, ego after some one; am
sick" Mr.. Peckhaln at once went for
Mrs. Jesse Gould and Mrs F. B. George.
who were only few minutes getting
there. They found the young woman
lying on the floor, face down, saying,
Fan me. Her husband, who was
out at work, and DIR. Stuart were sum-
moned. Mr.. Gould was by his wife's
side in few moments, to who she said,
Il am dying; take care of my child, 4"
and with that jumped from the bed on
which she had been placed few mo-
ments before and expired in a few
seconds on the floor. Although the
doctor reached there in less than an
hour after sent for, he found her dead,
and pronounced death due to heart
failure. Mrs. Gould was 81 years of
age and of the true Christian type,
steadfast and unmovable in her faith.
She leaves to mourn their loss heart
broken husband, one little girl of two
summers and host of friends. She
was laid to rest Sunday at 80 o'clock
in Bethel cemetery by the side of her
mother and father, who had but recently
gone before her. The burial services
were conducted by her pastor. Rev. Mr..
Williams, in the presents of large
gathering of friends. By AFRIEND.

LIBRARIAN KENNEDY OUT.

At the long-awaited session held in
Richmond Saturday night, the State
Library Board, by a vote of 8 to 2.
accepted the resignation of Librarian
John p. Kennedy, and unanimously
elected DIR. Henry R. McIlwaine, of
Hampden-Sidney, college to succeed
him.
The decision, which it is believed will
end the long and turbulent controversy
in the library, which has distracted the
staff of the institution and created dis
cordant factions. was forcasted in the
recent election of Mr.. Pendleton to the
Board in place of Mr.. Meredith

POLITICAL.

There will be only four candidates be-
fore the Northumberland Democratic
primary in July-Towles and Rice, for
Commonwealth,s Attorney, and Jett
and Mayo, for the House of Delegates.
Candidates for the county offices-Booth
for Treasurer, and Flynt for Sheriff
have no opposition, and have been
declared the nominees.
Amongst the southern men who are
being urged by their friends for the
Democratic nomination for president.
1T will not do to overlook Governor Folk.
of Missouri. He was the original pros
ecuter of grafters and was a reformer
before President Roosevelt had woke
up to the political possibilities of that
role. In Tennessee there seems to be
a Folk boom judged by the fact that an
enterprising citizen of Brownsville has
bet $1,000 that ''Joe Folk" will be the
next president.

Mrs Frank Edwards, of Simpsons

berries this season, and gathered from
a single bush the gallons.

Ii HAS long been a saying that
"whiskey money don't stick" The
truth of this has been discerned by
any man in business life. But it
was never more apparent than TODAY
when the newspapers are full of
crimes. many traceable to whiskev.
cards and opiates, INDUCED in by the
sons of wealthy men. 1t is striking
how few, if any, sons of those who
have handled whiskey, and through
it gained wealth, come to a good end.
1t seems to cast blight, even to the
"third and fourth generation"

JOHN s. WISE, of New York
but not unknown to Virginia-is
one of those natures that must be
always falling out with somebody
preferably friend. He is sour
now on President Roosevelt, over
whom he recently gushed to the
stopping point. What was it about?
Well, as usual with such dispositions,
there was nothing; but the excuse
given by the irascibie John is that
Teddy has no right to 60 around
making speeches upon child-labor.
fellow-servant laws, and the like.
but should devote his time to some
thing else. An honorable and high
Virginia politician was Informed the
other day that Jim Crouch, his loud
adherent, was sore with him, and
had "gone back on" him, and advised
that he do something to propitiate
the said Crouch. The statesman
remarked that he had for years been
handling Crouch gingerly but now
he would do nothing more to win
him-he had coat more to keep as a
friend than 'he would cost as an
enemy. Following this philosophy,
when you find man that has to be
jollied and pandered to necessarily he
is dear friend, and you had better
drop him, having as little to do with
him as possible.

WE PLATTER ourselves that we
have the best system of government
on the face of the globe. But there
are others who do not agree with us.
In the British House of Lords re.
Gently the Marquis of Bath called
attention to the appointments to the
magistracy, more especially with
reference to an organized movement
to secure the alteration of the present
system of nomination. He con-
demned the appointment of justices
on political grounds, and deprecated
any attempt to Americanize the
system by treating the magisterial
bench as the legitimate spoil of polit-
zeal victors. And it is fact that
we are woefully deficient in methods
OF securing our judges, as is also the
case with many of our other public
officials. The appointments of minor
Jobs falling under the Civil Service
rules are about the only ones in which
political pulls" do not sway. Of
all positions that of law magistrates
should be the farthest removed from
political pressure. Unfortunately.
from Justice of the Peace to Supreme
Court, politics rules, and the man
that sits on the bench aud has not his
"ear to the ground" is a rare excep-
ton indeed. So far does this go in
our American institutions that the
anomalous and most reprehensible
spectacle is some times presented of
the ermine katowing to political
foes In order to hold on to the seat
that seems to have grown fast to
the sitter.

NEW MANUAL ON DRY FARMING.

Ii is high time that the farmers of
the great west who have been doing
such noble work in demonstrating that
all our previous views on the amount
of rainfall necessary To successful
farming We're wrong had some definite
guide To dry farming. There has been
too much OF a disposition on the part of
some writers to hold back and say that
nothing is to be gained by trying To
farm where the moisture is Scant. But
now there has just been published at
Lincoln. Nebraska. by Mr. II. W.
Campbell. pretty well known through
out the west as the father of dry
farming. a new manual devoted entire
~ TO this subject. IL is Campbell's
1907 Soil Culture Manual. for Mr.
Campbell in all his work and all his
writings has insisted that the sOlu-
ton of the problem for the dry regions
is in soil culture. He has published
other manuals but here for the first
time he has given in full and complete
the Information which he has gather
ed during many years of hard work
upon which he bases his system. Mr..
Campbell is "A practical farmer. What
he knows about the subject he gather
ed from the soil. He has con-
Quoted experiments in a half dozen
or more states always with a view To-
solving the problem Of farming in the
dry region. He has had great faith in
his work and has never doubted that
success would crown his efforts. By
reason of his experiments and investi-
CATION he has demonstrated that
farming can be made a success in re-
gions where the moisture is not abund-
ant and that the very best crops can
be grown with as much certainty
there as in the more humid regions In
his new Manual he goes into detail. not
in any technical way. but plainly and
simply. explaining all about soil and
climate and conditions which make it
