NO MYSTERY SAYS DR.. WYNKOOp

EDITOR VIRGINIA CITIZEN answer
to many queries that have reached me
as to whether there was any mystery
connected with the Richmond Chesa-
peake Railway Co., and its probable
terminal on the Rappahannock Branch.
have the following to say:
There is no mystery or concealment
whatever in Mr.. Frank jay Gould's
plans. He has simply not as vet de-
eided definitely on where his terminal
will be placed. This question will not
be decided until Mr.. Gould returns from
Europe, for which place he sailed last
week, TO be gone about month.
In connection with my previous com
munication and courtesy in giving RIGHT
of way, it is interesting to note that
there is already discord among some of
those who for unknown reasons believe
their farms will be chosen through
which the road will pass.
They have openly declared that thew
would fight such crossing of their prop
erty to their utmost power. do sin
cerely hope and trust that there is suf-
fieient backbone among the better ele-
ment of our community 10 place all
such dissenters to advancement and
progress on an open blacklist.

THE RAPPAiANNOCK
BAPTIST ASSOCIATION

Meeting of Rappahannock Baptist AS
ISOLATION, held with Jerusalem church.
at Emmerton, Richmond county, Va.
July Slst and August LIST and End. was
well attended. There was such gen
eral satisfaction with the old officers
that they were unanimously reelected.
They are as follows: Judge Brown
Evans, moderator; Rev. F.NB. Beale.
clerk, and Hon. VIM. Campbell, treas
urer. The discussions were both inter
esting and instructive and will doubt
less result in better work along the
lines presented. There were few visi-
tors from distance, but those who were
present added much to the interest of
the meeting
Rev. DIR. Garrett, of Portsmouth Va
delivered fine address on FOREIGN Mis-,
sions and Rev. Mr.. Street, brother of
our beloved j. NJ. Street, pastor in
Northumberland county, made an
instructive talk on Home Missions. DIR.
b. G. Henning's address on the work
OF the Educational Commission in the
State of Virginia was of the very high
est order and was enthusiastically re-
ceived. The prospect for a Baptist
Woman's College in the State of like
standing OF Vassar, or Randolph-Macon
'Woman's College, Lynchburg, are very
bright. The reports show that wherever
collections have been taken for the pur-
porse of establishing and endowing this
college they have been as large as asked
for.
The Woman's Missionary Society met
at the same time and place as the AS
ISOLATION. Their reports were good and
the work they are doing towards the
CHARACTERIZATION of the world is incaltula-
BILE.
The entertainment of the Assassination
was all that could be desired, and
Rev. S. P. Devault and his people, with
all the noble and hospitable people of
that community. Deserve great credit

THE INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK.
CTimes-Dispatch.)

The indications seem plain to those
who are on the lookout that we are
at the beginning of a decline in our
industrial activities. To those who have
been accustomed to. observe the rela-
tionship between the financial world
and the industrial world it is plain that
the financial world has been overstrained
and feels exhausted, and that the in
dustrial world has been overworlSed and
is tired. 1t is not natural, and, there
fore, not desirable, that industries of a
country that has a long life before it
should go at pace which is excessive
and exhausting to those who are en-
gagged in them.
The general effect of our late indus
trial activity has been to put up prices
of materials and of labor to an abnor-
NAL height, and not to give entire sat
isfaction to anybody. Shippers have
been very dissatisfied with the SER
vice of railroads. The railroads have
been glutted with freight they were
utterly unable with their existing IA
cilities to handle promptly. Deliveries
of manufactured articles have beer
greatly delayed. Materials for all pur
poses have been hard to get on time
and at moderate prices. While labor
has received high wages, the prices
of supplies of all kinds have advanced,
so that labor is not satisfied. The eff.
feet upon the ordinary day laboring
classes, which in the South are almost
entirely composed of negroes, have
been actually injurious. Their wages
have heen so high that they have been
able to live, after their accustomed
manner, upon the earnings of few
days in the week, and the rest of the
time they have generally-we speak
only from our knowledge of the condi-
tions in the South-stopped work and
spent the time in idleness. AS far as
we can learn they have accumulated
nothing. The effect of this period OF
great prosperity has been merely to
lessen the days Of work and inculcate
habits of idleness and thriftlessness.
AT the same time there has been such
demand for this labor by railroads,
mining enterprises and all sorts of con-
struction work that they have been
able to control the situation, and to do
as little as they pleased and demand as
much as they choose. This has been
the universal testimony. The cost OF
all construction work and the operation
of railroads have enormously increased,
and builders and transportation com
panies have been unable to do a nor
NAL business from the magnitude OF
the demands upon them; but now, with
a diminution of business, more reas-
enable and moderate condition will
prevail and there will be return to the
quieter and more naturel condition.
Construction being stopped, the demand
for capital will lessen, and there viii
ultimately be better supply of money
for carefully selected enterprises.
We look for duller times, and for q
decided falling off IN many industries.
AS a consequence many men will be
idle, and we fear that there has been
little saved in the past seven fat
years.

LAWLESSNESS ON
THE JAMES.
Oyster DeSperadoeS Scuttle a
SlOOp Belonging to the Oyster
Police Fleet.

AS a sequel to the arrest of two
notorious oyster violators on the James
river by the State police boats last
week, the sloop Hattie Bradshaw, a
patrol boat employed by the Board of
Fisheries, was on last Sunday night
scuttled and sunk Off the mouth of
Warwick river by mob of oyster
pirates. Her sails were slit, stays
slashed, crockery, glasses and furniture
smashed.
The Captain had left one man aboard
while the others attended church. The
mob frightened the man away and did
the work in short order.
Judge Tyler, of that circuit, has been
communicated with and the Attorney
General and other State officials viii
ferret the matter out and swift punish
ment follow if the parties can be
identified. The James is full of young
oysters saved by patrolling last year,
and lawless element which had pre-
viously worked all summer on the beds
resent the activity of the Board in SC
closely guarding them.

RIOT AT ONANCCCK.
Race Conflict on the Eastern
Shore. Governor Swanson
Quickly on the Scene.

Saturday night Garland Belote, a
white man, was shot twice by James
Uzzles a negro editor in Onancock,
without provocatiso. He opened fire
on a crowd of white men standing on q
street corner The trouble arose over
anothernegro resisting arrest thenight
previous. The town was greatly
wrought up by the affair, and assis-
lance was brought from adjoining
towns. Negroes had been purchasing
ammunition for several days, evi-
IDENTIFY in anticipation of 2 riot. Cooler
heads managed to lessen the excitement,
though crowd of two dozen men,
with a constable leading, went 90 the
negro quarters Sunday searching for
Uzzle and Burton, colored merchant,
but they had escaped. Just following
the shooting, negroes lay inambush and
iired ten shots on the mail coach, hav-
ing four drummers aboard. No one
was hit owing to the baggage on the
firing side, but negro picket was
severely wounded by his own crowd.
The latter is in Jail and confesses that
Uzzle and Burton led the mob and had
posted him in front to sing out white"
or 'black," descriptive of who was
driving the hack. When he sane out

the negro hit.
Governor Swanson was gotten over
long-distance phone Sunday night. but
Incorporation of the line was unsatis-

boarded train from the West and
hurried to old Point. Chairman Lee
had been telegraphed to have the

Reaching there at a. m Monday he
found the Governor walking the dock,
ever since three O'Clock, aud they ian
mediately put off for Onaneock.
The town was in considerable ex-
citement as squads of whites had ar
rived from other parts Of Accomae and
from Maryland, one band Of them
burning down Uzzles printing Office
and BurtOn's store early Sunday morn
ing. The officials and citizens were
keeping remarkably cool and were hold
ing lawlessness in check. Reports
were coming from all parts of the
Peninsula that either Uzzle or Burton
had been seen, and squads would al
once dash Off to find each false alarm

A FRIEND WAT is.

Ever since Barham, of Petersburg,

Virginia Week" he has been chafing
at being tied to the confines of

MCDONALD LEE MALIGNED.
The Petersburg Index-Appeal has
gone and done it now. In a feverish
attempt to get itself out of hole, it
has spattered mud all over an innocent
bystander, Editor w. Mcdonald Lee of
the VIRGINIA CITIZEN, who is also
Chairman of the Board of Fisheries.
The other day The Landmark asked its
Petersburg friend this question, which
was hurled strictly in self defence
What right has the Petersburg In
dex-Appeal, whose editor holds place
on the State Board, to object to our
Observation-Disclosures boom?"
OF course, that shot struck home, but
we had no idea that the flying debris
would hurt anybody, as it does in the
following excited answer of the Index.
Appeal

injury. Can't one practice little ben

SOMETHING DOING IN BASE BALL.

Lancaster and Rehobott teams will
cross bats on the formers diamond
Saturday afternoon.
The Centre Cross club played Sharps
boys on the latter's diamond Tuesday.
Score, s to 2 in favor of Sharps. Quite
large crowd was out to witness the
game.
The Tappahannoek base ball team
added another scalp to their belt Friday
of last week when they defeated the
Reedville base ball team by the score
of 4 to 2.
The Irvington base ball club, of Bal
timore, defeated KilInarnock in two
well played games at Kilmarnoclr on
Monday and Tuesday. The Irvingtons
are jolly lot of Mt. st. Joseph College
boys who are cruising down TO attend
the Exposition. Both games were well
and fast played, and the Kilmarnocks
played an uphill game being hampered
by the absence of two of their best
players. The Irvington team, by fast
snappy teamwork, with hits when
needed, captured the first game by the
score of 5 to 2. Thomas Taylor, the
Irvington pitcher, by steady head-work
kept his hits scattered and by superb
fielding on his part pulled himself out
of several difficult holes. DR.. Knell, a
young physician, caught a beautiful
game. The other Irvingtons played
a very pretty game and won it on
its merits. The Kilmarnock boys
played a steady game and the work
of Sincraf, Yerby and Hudnau was
exceedingly good The attendance,
while small, was very enthusiastic,
The second game was faster than
the first, Kilmarnock being stronger in
the pitchers box. In the first inning
the locals pulled off one of the prettiest
triple plays seen in this section this
season. The bases were full and a hot
liner was hit to short-stop Yerby who
pulled it down touched second and shot
the ball to first in time TO catch the
third man. A short storm interrupted
the game, after which seven inning:
were played. The score was 4 to 3 il
favor of Irvington.
The teams were imposed of the fol
lowing players: lmarnock-Dohr

MARVIN GROVE CLOSES.

Refreshing showers were rather too
plenteous the latter part of the week,
keeping great many away from Mar
vim Grove, especially on the last Sunday.
Notwithstanding this. the attendance
throughout was rather larger than
usual. During the week days this was
most notable, and on Saturday night
every room in the two hotels was occu-
pied.
Revs. E. P. Parham, of Middlesex,
and H. H. Smith, of Westmoreland
were added during the week to the
ministerial help. Rev. r. M. Maxey,
of Union Station church, Richmond,
did the preaching at all the regular
services, the intermediate services
being filled in by Elder Reed and the
local pastors.
There were many manifestations of
spiritual movement and more than
forty professions of faith. Those
who camped resolved to be early on
the scene another year and to encourage
friends to come to this beloved old
resort. The partings Sunday night
and Monday morning were unusually
touching.
The hotel accommodations were ex-
ceptionally good, proprietor Beane fur
nishing an excellent table, and with the
aid of j. B. Kirkham and other helpers
every one was we'll cared for.
Owing to short funds the committee
decided another year to charge ground
rent on all cottages whether occupied or
not.

BOYS. DON'T SAY CANT,

To hear a mature person say 81
can't do so-and-so," is bad enough,
but for it to fall from the lips of
those In the bloom and vigor of
youth is most discouraging. The
word is not found in any lexicon,
and should be tabooed as much as
the legitimate word "fail," for they
are synonymous. SIN the bright
lexicon of youth, which Nature re.
serves for glorious manhood, there
is no such word as fall" we be-
lieve is the way long ago phrase
struck upon our ears. To hear one
say "can't" over any trivial matter
stamps that one weakling, indecisive
not moulded to buffet with the world
Read what a writer in Success
says about "can't," which he calls
one of "the enemies of our vocab
ulary"-
In the dictionary of fools we find az
can't" very often, plenty of ''ifs, 'and
lots of words like ''luck" and destiny
and phrases like eff had time or &
chance like other peoplep'
Did you ever think that many of the
words and phrases which you constantly
use are your real enemies, that they
leave their hideous pictures and black
shadows in your mind? How many
times have you been kept from doing
a good deed by such phrases as: ooh,
can't do that" 81 am afraid that
that will not turn out WE'LL" ''Oh,
know can't do that" Somebody else
can do that great deal better;;'' 81
am afraid to try" az fear shall take
cold or catch some disease if / do this
or that?
believe that those two words u
can't" have ruined more prospects,
and have kept more ability doing the
work of medIocrity than any other two
words in our language
81 am afraid of this or that is a
terrific hinderer, a terrible Brighter OF
ambition, a cooler of enthusiasm. All
achievements and all efficiency depend
upon iniative; and that is easily killed
by the fear words, the words which ex-
press doubt and uncertainty.

UNDER the head of "The Indus

an editorial from the Richmond
Times Dispatch that is worth
perusal. Men who have gone
through reaction Of depressed times
following season of plenty have
seen the writing on the wall, and we
too have looked for a period of de-
preston to come at any moment.
Like the Times-Dispatch writer we
have believed it near at hand, and
have not failed to warn out people
to lay up for the days of famine
while the years of plenty were upon
US. For fear that there might be a
crash, financiers lave kept to them
