Mrs. bowie threatens to tell the in
side history Of Zion, and the Washing
ION Herald prefers not to hear 1t
Good.
Mr.. Roosevelt is biting OIL a good
deal more than he can chaw when h'
undertakes to beat Foraker with thai
son-in-law.
Now let COL Watterson suggest
some good Democrat to beat Hughes
or any other good Republican that
may be nominated.
Let the railway corporations submit
gracefully 10 the two-cent rate and gel
ready to carry two passengers where II
only carried one before.
If those frst-day visitors at the
jamestown Exposition had to say who
should be next Governor Of Virginia
President Tucker wouldn't be in it.
As Mr.. Roosevelt stood in the sha-
dow. or rather the sunlight Of one OF
those old James river homesteads he
became intensely reminiscent and
sentimental. We trust the good spirit
will hold him until he learns that the
South is a part of this union.
Good platform speakers are in great
demand and are distressingly scarce.
Its hard work 20 I'm the cards for
commencement occasions. There was
time i'm Virginia's history when each
county of the state was rich i'm such
material.
The jamestown Exposition man
agement wants to borrow 100000 and
give first mortgage bonds as collateral.
We thought the government already
had first mortgage They have hard
ly paid back the million as yet, or any
part Of it,
Judge Rhea declined Corporation
Commission honors just now but is
wiling that Mr.. StuaTt's mantle should
fall ON him when he retires from
office. In the meantime Judge Prem
tiss, Of Suffolk, has been named as
successor 10 Judge Crump.
If you failed to ray your capitation
tax before the 9Th, you just can't vote
and that ends it, Now if things don't
90 as you would have them "mum
should be the word" with you. Some
people must vote and it is just asmuch
your duty as the other fellows.
1t seems to be agreed that Mr..
Roosevelt has designated Governor
Hughes, of New York, as his success
sor, and this has made Secretary Taft
"mad all over and being mad all over
in his case means expensive madness.
1t is good time for Democrats to get
together aud stay together.
The Charlotte Gazette has celebrated
its saith birthday and the venerable
editor has passed the four-score mile
post on life's highway, and yet there
is the freshness of morning and the
vigor Of strong young manhood in
each issue of our worthy contempt
rary. Our congratulations and good
wishes
IL the successful man would only
become a satisfied man success would |
be a glittering prize. But then, far
back in the dim and distant past the
question was aked, "why is it that no
man is satisfied ?" In one sense no |
man ought TO be satisfied, but in no
sense should any man be dissatisfied.
COntentment is great gain"
The primary is evidently falling into
disfayor with the great body Of voters,
and because Of the closing Of the door
in the face Of the poor man. "None
bat the wealthy can afford it,"
The Convention plan had gotten to
be oppressive, and it is real sad that
some fair and just plan cannot be
adopted and approved. In this coun-
try an open field and a fair fight ought
TO be open to poor and rich alike.
We lift our hat 10 that venerable
and venerated' minister of the Cos
pei, TO whom reference was made re-
emily in the editorial columns of the
Iimes-Dispatch, who preferred a
.ountry charge TO one in the city,
such man is ready TO "endure hard
ness as a good soldier" and realizes
hat mortals are not carried TO heaven q
pa " il0wery beds of ease" We are I
luite sure that he doesn't wear a {
Prince Albert or slick beaver.
That was well and gracefully said
