Norton. Va. Aug. IL

MUTTON, Va, Aug. 10.
The first application in Wise coun-
~, of the unwritten law in behalf of
a woman, will have TO be considered
In the trial of Fannie Pearce, a coll
ored woman, of Norton, who, on last
Monday deliberately went TO the
home where colored woman, named
Polk, was staying, and without warn
ing fired four shots in rapid success
sion, every one taking effect-one
shot in the back is considered dan
gerous. The Pearce woman, at the
preliminary examination, proved a
good name-and TO be an honest
hard working woman with a mean
husband, who, besides beating her
Ut different times, provoked her with
the Polk woman: Public sympathy,
both white and colored, are with her.
For the first time in the history of
Norton, typhoid fever has made its
appearance TO n noticeable extent.
There are several eases in the town nj
present. Among the sick are James
Flemming, Ray Whitehead, Mrs. III.
f: Ritter and John Anderson are re-
ported by DR.. Carr as being the
worse: The Authorities are making
a strict examination of the water
supply which has awlays been con-
sidered the finest in the Southwest.
Several Tayewell citizens spent
Sunday afternoon in Norton enroute
TO Big Stone Gap to attend the sess-
ion of the United States Court.
Among the number were some who
had never visited Norton before, and
were shown around by Walter Steele
and Il. f. Suthers, John DALEY
seems to be in charge, and obedient
to his command there were G, p,
Greeyer Will Ed, Peery, Will Thomp-
son, John Higginbotham, John Neal
and I. b. Hawkins. They were john
ed by several from Russell.
Discussing the subject of freight
rates, government ownership, rate
legislation, etc., few DAYS since
withaa party of trveling.men, it devel-
oped that on certain line of merch-
andise TO this section, the rate varied
about as follows: From Indinian-
apolis TO Norton and Bristol, rate per
car loaded, 53 cents per hundred; TO
Johsnon City, Greenville and Morris
town, just few miles from Bristol
the rate is $1.01 l-2. To Lynchburg,
45c; to Huntington, w. Va, 2Sc; to
Tazewell, and Graham, 75c. Which
is the difference between such high
handed, outrageous discrimination as
this and Rockefeller's rebates? One
is as great wrong as the other. III

Republic assisted by the knowledge OF Or1entai
gods gained by the soldiery during the Aslauc
campaigns. the Sibylline books had saturated
the realms of the Cesar with superstition and
immortality. Coincident with this, Greek culture
affected by the upper classes, brought in the
form of Hellenic religion but not its native con-
tent which Mr.. Carter well declares an unteach-
able thing. The best of both Greek and Roman
religion had gone-lost so irrevocably that all
the well executed pans or Augustus failed to
bring back the Golden Age OF simple faith ana
religious patriotism.

that. on the whole. even Stocism Killed the gen
uine religious spirit In the Roman people. This
view leaves out OF consideration two indispu-
table facts: first. the narrow range OF influence
OF that philosophy. which could not and did not
appeal to more than numerically small group
OF men; and, secondly, the supreme need of a
code OF daily conduct Mr.. Carter does not seem
to know that philosophical skepticism Is a
frame of mind which does not fit more than one
man in ten thousand: his remark that super
stiton is a parasite which lives upon skept-
cism" reveals violent confusion in his thinking
between the stupid ignorance OF the peasant
who knows not that he knows not and the rea-
soned perplexity and caution OF the serious
thinker. The reader is requested to be on his
guard while following Mr.. Carriers presentation
OF this matter At times it is hard to suppress
the feeling that the essayist has fallen in love
with that old Roman faith which he has studied
so closely; his scholarly zeal has begotteu a
wrath against the dissolvents Of his special gods
and cults Discounting for this very human
weakness, we may still be glad that MI Carter
has written these essays.

Carriers theory that the Sibylne books caused
the religious collapse must be understood as 4
purely historical hypothesis. Occasionally the
writer gives US the impression that but for those
fatal volumes the pure old religion of Nurna
would have continued to fourish-perhaps in
definitely. Whoever is acquainted with the In
eradicable superstitious temperament OF ancient
and modern Italians alike will realize that at
any moment, slight impact of mystery would
have precipated the same results which the
