Bates.

In answer to several queries as TO
the Bates family Will present briefly:
The earliest names found In Colonial
records are David. Thomas Fleming
and Joseph. tho latter recorded as be-
Ing in regiment from Augusta coun-5
ty. 1863. The Bateses settled in Gooch-
land. 1744. and We find John Bates in
the church vestry OF Halifax county,
1853 Thomas Fleming Bates was in
Henrico county from 1852 to 1776. The
family were also largely settled in
Spotsylvania. where Humphrey Bates.
1890. and James Bates. with Mary, his
wife (who was a Miss Nlitcham). 1884,
were living. but In 1893 they moved to
Fauauier county.
Many Of the Bates family belonged
to the Society of Friends Cor Quakers),
and IN their church records OF Gooch-
land county is recorded the marriage
OF Hannah Bates. daughter OF Susanna
Bates. widow OF ---- Bates, who af-
forwards married Stephen 'Wo dson, by
whom a daughter, Elizabeth Woodson.
Hannah Bates married Robert Easley
December 20. 1874 the ceremony being
witnessed by Charles and James Bates.
The principal point in the Bates
family desired Is the name OF the
Bates who married Eliza Bell. and had
daughter, Judith Cary Bates. who
married John Friend This Eliza Bell
was the fourth child Of David Bell, OF
Scotland who married Judith Cary.
sister of Colonel Archibald Cary, Of
Ampthill, Va. They settled near
Lynchburg, Va Now, the Bells were
also Quakers, and Captain David Bell
we find as living in Northumberland,
1881. who must have been the same as
the David OF Scotland. We. however,
fail to place the marriage OF this
Captain David Bell with any OF the
Cary family, but do find Fleming
Bates. which proves that the family
had early connection with the Flem-
ings We consider this Fleming Bates,
son OF the first Tho mas Fleming Bates,
to have been the one who married
Eliza Bell. David Bell at one time was
a merchant Of Henrico county; In 1874
he bought lots in the town OF Fred
ericksburg. Va. and sold the same in
1746 to Charles Colson, an Inn keeper
of Fredericksburg. William Bell, his
brother, WAS second lieutenant In the
militia of Spotsylvania, 1855.

MIR. DANIEL ON Tl1a TARIFF.
His Views Not Altoscthcr to the IiiS-
ing Of Colonel NNnttcrsOn. L.L-

Ills Views Not Altogether to the Like
ing OF Colonel NnttcrsOn.
With reference to tho tariff, the nttl-
tlide Of Senator Daniel Is less conf
dent 11e says we never have had a
tariff framed upon any technical
theory advocated before It's passage
| The correctness Of this statement may
well be doubted. If tho present tariff
was not framed upon the theory that
monopoly ought to be sheltered 1t is
impossible to say why 1t was passed
II the tariff law OF 1916 was not based
upon the theory that a tariff should
be for revenue; If that theory was not
fully justified when 1t was further
reduced In 1857, with the consent OF
nll parties, because it was producing
too much revenue, then the history of
thc.5country hns been written In vain.
But Senator Daniel goes on to say that
we need q judicious revision OF tho
tariff not a working or q doctrinairc
revision. Nobody need object TO- q ju-
dicious revision, for that Is always in
