the county's affairs and an epoch in
its progress.
The return of Mr.. Hechler regretted

in the new arrangements necessitated
in other lines and the upsetting of
fHiations which have worked together
in the county for many year.
y striking lesson has been afforded
the new electorate in Henrico Prac-
tically the whole ce-holding ele-
ment has been swept out of office. With
the exception of Mr.. Saunders, who
opposed it vigorously every official

struGion of the new Jail and the
financing of that proposition. has been
retired. The election of Mr. Hechler,
though II may be variously considered
and presents many sides, still demon
strates the confidence of the people of
the county in the honesty of purpose
OF the former treasurer and their Will
ingness to again trust Tnn. who,
although he once made mistake and
a grievous one, has atoned for it and
made good the loss. One the whole,
the election. cannot but be considered
as a step forward in the politics of the

and the selection of much new timber.
The indications are distinctly that the
improved electorate of the county,
now limited to the tax-paying class,
and largely to the land owning class,
are demanding a Tightening of the
lines of county government.

4s Ship Given State
Name.

WASHINGTON, d. c., September g.
The Navy Department has practically
decided to christcn the great 10000
ton battleship No. 20, sister ship to the
Delaware, the New York. This can
be effected b. changing the name of
the present sarmored cruiser called the
New York to the Saratoga.
No. 20 has been left unnamed up to
this moment because of tho act of
Congress requiring battleships to bear
the names of States. and there were
but two such names available, Utah
and North Dakota. 1t was felt Mt the
States, by reason of population or de-
velopment, could properly lay claim to
the finest ship in the navy.

In Augusta Hervsy worked for the

lished an article from Richmond con-
corning the appearance OF the "detec-

comment:
C. S. Hcrvey, as he was known In
Augusta, was employed for seNcrnl
months by the Associated Press,
shortly after the association made
Augusta It's Southern relay point.
During his stny In Augusta he said
on several occasions that his real
name was Charles a. Scott, and
said he came from the East; that
IL considerable part of his life hnd
been spent In Montana and border
ing States, and that he was mt ono
time engaged in the publication of

town, exhibiting n copy of the
paper. with the name G. A. Scott

Returns With Tales of Horror Calculated
To Curdle AnyOneS Blood

He said that I'm nearly every instance
the riots and mas acres were provoked
by the governmerc officials for various
reasons.
"A case in point was brought to my
attention few weeks before 1 left
Russia" said Mr.. Durland
About three weeks prior to an cleo
ton which vas 10 be held in the town
of Wylna. the report was circulated
that the town was to be placed under
martial law This meant that a mas
sacre Of the populace had been sched-

day, but when the day arrived Il was
postponed until Thursday Of the fol-
lowing week. The fatal day came but
the massacre was again postponed.

more than two weeks and a half, and
by the time election day arrived the
people were OF course in a state of
too much fea- and terror 10 vote for

the government men got the positions
by large majoriries.
Scenes Are Most Korrible.
Americans are no doubt Mortified at
this way Of doing things. but as a mat
ter Of fact the people Of Wylna were
more than fortunate in comparison to
the residents OF other cities 1t is not
always that a scheduled massacre does

Another particular form of murder
and outrage which is promoted by the
Russian government is the progressive
massacre" which awes and breaks the
spirit Of the people almost as success
fully as does the wholesale style. but
has the advantage OF not being tel
egraphed as widely to other coupries.
Concerning this Mr.. Durland said
Instead Of a killing that cuts down
a hundred or two at once, the govern
ment hires assassins VINO murder one
or two persons daily tor sometimes two
or three weeks in succession Now these
murders are much more numerous than
those by the representatives Of the peO-
pie. When the people kill. the victim
is usually an Official, and the instances
are only occasional and usually where
the victim is guilty Of tiagrant abuses
But the number of government muir
dcTS is attested not only by inc0utroYert-
ible proofs which / might mention, but
by the evidence made public by Prince
Uruson, assistant minister of the in
terror under Witte. who, after resigning
his office, showed conciusiVely that
there was completely by government Of
fic'als in these crimes
Mr.. Durland told Of many more hor-
rOi which are every day occurrences in
this land OF terror; OF the inhuman
treatment Of the prisoners who are ar
rested on the slightest suspicion and
sent 10 far-of Siberia. OF men. women.
and children, used TO the most refining
influences, who are compelled 10 live in
abandoned places and with semi civilized
natives who are suffering from the most
loathsome and infectious Of diseases. He
tells Of these things fOrcefully and as
a man who has witnessed tragedies
which few inhabitants Of civilized cOUn-
tries have seen.
Despite the fact that Mr.. Durland has
been several times arrested as a politi
cal prisoner. and only barely escaped
from Russia a few weeks ago, he In
tends 10 return as soon as he finishes
a tour of the West.
