THE PISTOL TOTING HABIT.

Commenting on the recent tragedy
in Scott county, Va, in which man
named Parks shot and killed a neigh
Dor named Gillian, both CARRYING
pistol, the Richmond News Leader
says:
Presumably the man who carries IA
pistol intends to kill somebody with
1t, and we cannot understand how
Virginia citizens should live continu-
ally with the purpose OF taking life.
We are making great row about
the spreading of the prohibition
movement, but neither that nor any
thing else will diminish crime very
materially or gain for us the respect
OF the civilized world while we remain
community of pistol totprs.

Jamestown Continued.

hlcnlnOnu llmes-DlSp atch.
The Times Dispatchis already COM
mitted to the proposal to continue
the jamestown Exposition for an
other year, and we are glad to know
that the directors are favorable.
This Exposition is really very beau
tiful and instructive, and as it was
completed only few months ago, it
would seem to be little short OF van
dalism to destroy it in December.
We doubt not that the Government
buildings and the State buildings
would be allowed to remain, and
there would be little difficulty about
keeping the exhibits Indeed, the
probability is that the exhibits in
1908 would be larger and better
than those of 1907. We think also
that the attendance would be much
larger another year How many
persons East of the Mississippi ever
saw great Exposition? Not one in
ten, we venture, in spite OF the sew
eral Expositions that have been held
There is fine promise for the James
town Exposition OF 1908, and We
predict for it a great success.

Prosperity is Genuine.
Confidence Based Upon Fact That

The business interests all over the
country are exercising admirable
Judgment and GOODNESS in meeting the
strain imposed by the currency strin-
gency Business men rest their con-
fidelwe upon the indisputable fact
that the country is prosperouS-tiiat
it has the equivalent of cash in it's
huge crops. Bearing this always in
mind, they have adapted themselves
skilIfully to the money strilgeilev,
aud there is no doubt whatever that
confidence will soon lead the hoard
ers of money>to restore their funds
to the currents of business. The
scarcity of money, the life-blood of
business, is a great Inconvenience,
but it is not ii serious danger. 1t is
not the cause, but the result, of dis
trust and panic The wave of dis
trust receding, its effects will follow it.
Bankers and business men in every
section OF the country have met the
situation with self reliance aud good
sense. The Pacific coast is financing
itself, without waiting for the long
journey OF money from the East.
By means of clearinghouse certifi-
Gates, which serve the purpose of
money, it is possible to transact bust
ness. The banks did not take ad-
vantage of the legal holidays pro-
claimed by the governors of Califor-
MIA, Oregon, Washington and Ne
vada. This is the best proof that
business is being done while moneyis
tight, but there is no sign of distress.
With this evidence of sound business
conditions, money will soon flow
back into it's regular channels, and
it's usual volume
The great cities are looking out for
themselves and their neighborhoods
without apparent difficulty. From
Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, st.
Louis, Baltimore, Cincinnati and
New Orleans the same story comes of
splendid conditions in banking and
business circles. These cities have
not called upon New York for help.
They have financed themselves. Here
i'll Washington the same conditions
exist. The banks have met the
money stringency with the ease and
confidence that spell strength aud
solidity.
There is very little excited talk now
III any quarter concerning the fnan-
cial situation, and still less excited
action. There is no necessity for ex-
element in either talk or action.
The country is solvent from one end
to the other The reality of Ameri-
can prosperity has been tested for
the past ten days. 1t has been found
to he genuine.

WHEN Wall street calls for money,
the Republican administration carts
over any number of millions. When
the great Southern country with a
billion dollar cotton crop needs a few
millions to keep the crop from being
sold at a sacrifice, the Republican
administration turns a deaf ear to
the appeal. And yet your cheerful
Republican friends boast in every
campaign that they are friends of the
South. They have never been friends
OF the South and never will be. A
Southern man cannot vote for any
such a party and be true to his

PROBING PROCEEDS.
Witnesses Tell of Abuses At Massa-
chusetts Hospital At Foxboro.

Boston. Jan. 29.--The investigation of
the FoXboro State hospital for dipso-
maniacs was resumed by the special
committee of the governors counsel
at the State House today.
Lieut.. Gov. Draper requested that
names of witnesses should not be used
if they wished them kept secret.
The fist witness was a Spanish War
veteran, who said he entered the Fox
borO hospital Dec IS, 1908. and remain
ed two years. His duties were to as
sist the ward attendants.
An attendant named Cobb, he said,
told him he had an aversion for sick
man and had no use for a drunkard.
! The witness who had Il been q stu
dent at the Harvard Medical School,
did most of the nursing. Witness said
the drugs were selected by the attend
arts on the physicians prescription but
they did not mix drugs. The prescrip-
tions called for virulent poisons. Once
he had to select tincture of strychnine
for Copp, who had no idea as to its
character.
Have YOU seen any Of the employees
there under the influence of liquor "
the witness was asked.
Eyes, | saw an attendant bringing in
q man. and both were SO drunk that
the ward man asked which he should
put to bed. I have also seen the chief
engineer and the foreman OF the broom
room under the influence Of liquor.
The later used to make it dsaSreeablc
for those under him and he was dis
charged"
What do you know about Hayes?"
the witness was asked.
His death was due purely to neg
lect and careiessness. He was Il robust
young man when he came in. He told
me he was taking l. grains OF NOR
phine Il day. He took the insurance
and there was no more morphine given
him. He was unable to eat. He died
a few days later and I believe he died
from neglect and lost nourishment.'
do you know about Haggerty?"
Yes He had Cclirum trcmens aud
was put in a strait Jacket. I saw an
attendant with his knees on the man S
chest. striking him with his left hand
choking him with his right. y short
while after the man died
Did you see the bed afterward?"
Yes. There was blood on it. The
man had had a hemorrhage."
How about Vinal?'
"He was badly abused. He had an
illusion that his wife was confined
there. and constantly wandering
around looking for her. When they
wanted him to sit down, Grant or Ber-
~ would pounce on him. strike him
and throw him down. Once they stun
ned Vinal by striking his head against
4 projection.
Two witnesses who are now pa
tents at the hospital, testified that the
food was good and that they had de-
rived benefit from the treatment.
They stated. however, that they had
witnessed some abuses" One of the
patients testified that he had seen a
! fellow patient choiied by an attend
ant but lie understood that the Of
Tending attendant had been discharg
ed
