Prospect of Constructing Trolley
Line Frightening.

Those who watch the progress OF
various commercial interests ,tnrougn-
out every section of our land, note the
wonderful development of the electric
railway system. Rapid in transit,
convenient and cheap,it is fast taxing
the place of steam power work. Cities
are seeking trade by the extension OF
suburban IInes. twenty seven e'ecIrlc
railway lines run into the city OF
indianapolis, Ind. Other cities are
following in the construction of sur
face, elevated and subway ROADS.
Country sections are being developed
by extension of the same. 1t becomes
an intelligent citizen TO watch the sue,
cess of progressive movements, anu
use the lessons learned by such oDser-
yation, in advancement OF CONNER
;ial and other interests, prontaDie 10
their respective sections.
Feeling that il WAS our privilege 10
% struct an electric railway on The
Eastern Shore, a few cltlzens Vi
Onancock and Drummondtown met
at Onancock about eight years ago
and considered the matter of building
trolley line from Onancock to Acco-
mac. This meeting resulted IN Uhe
organization of the "Accomac, Ohah-
.nek Light & Power Coz. which secur-
a charter. in March, 1900, to con-
struct a railway over said route.
Iany things prevented any commence
,enf OF the work at that time YET
we feel that the time and money thus
snent WAS not loss. II Is known thal
.everal of our citizens have been seek
| ing information and watching every
pportunity to make it possible 10 gel

)een informed by expert engineers

oroposition to construct line IRON
Onancock, via Tasley and Accomac &c

leyidence of financial success. Many

Iothers have failed to respond. " t
Ineed one thousand dollars more Il
Iexecute the contract which has prac

lmore hopeful position to get the ROAD
we beg to ask citizens OF Onancoci
and Accomac and surrounding terri
tory and all Others concerned u
h artily cooperate in making ou
effort a success. Land owners on IN

The people generally of the State
will concur in the following from the
Times-Dispatch: "When the record
of the jamestown Exposition is IL
nally made up there will be clean
and honorable score for at least one
State official. Governor Swanson did
his whole duty, his affectionate duty
by the enterprise, and whatever OF
failure there may have been, none OF
it is fairly chargeable to his account
No exposition ever had more gracious
host and hostess than the jamestown
Exposition had in Governor and Mrs
Swanson.

Saturday, December IA, 1907

The declaration made by President
Roosevelt on election night in 1904,
that he would not again be a candi-
date for the Presidency, is reiterated
in a statement recently submitted b,
him to the public, and with an EN-
phasis that ought to leave no one IL
doubt that she is out of the race for
good" Saying as he did in 1904, that
under no circumstances would he be b
candidate for or would he accept an
other nomination, and as he does now
that he has not changed or will he
change the decision thus announced,
he has finally and definitely ellmins'
ted himself from the possibility OF be
coming candidate or of accepting II
even if an attempt is made to thrust Il
upon him in the event a deadlOcE
occurs in the Republican National Con
yention. 1t is to be regretted, though
on the part of the Democrats, that h'
is "down and out for good" as hi
would have been the easiest candl
date to defeat, because of the opposi
ton of the people of the country TO
third tenn, and of the opinion tina
now prevails, that he is responsible II
a great measure for the recent tinan
cial depression.
With Roosevelt out of the way
while no one can foresee the result O
the Republican convention, the con
test as it stands to-day seems to b
between Secretary Taft, Senate
Knox, Speaker Cannon and Governo
Hughes, of New York, with chance
in favor of the latter because of tn
good record made by him as execr
tive of that State. But whoever
nominated, it is now almost foregon
conclusion, that he will have Hol
VIM. J. Bryan as his opponent.

Some idea of the wickedness of
New York city may be inferred from
the cutlery which is being made be-
cause some of their dens of infamy
were closed on last Sunday. 1t is
known as "blue" Sunday because
they were not permitted to indulge
in all kinds of amusements on that
day, and strange as it may seem'pub-
lie opinion is so strong for the desc
Grafton of the Sabbath in that city, II
will be permitted in the future. 1t
was, it is stated, the first attempt
ever made in that metropolis to make
it's people "to remember the Sabbath
day and keep it holy' and will be the
last.

A surplus of S1,OOO,OOO is reported
in the State Treasury and already
the scramble that will occur over 1t,
when the Legislature meets, IS ap-
parent in many sections of the State
Before the Legislature adjourns ap-
preparations for various purposes Will
be asked doubtless, which will enable
legislators to get away with the most
of it. If it must be spent, we know
of no suggestion that has been made
I'D to date better than that OF the
News-Leader. That journal calls up
on "all the newspapers in the State to
range themselves solidly behind
these propositions-schools, roads ano
pensions for veterans and insist that
all other appropriations be held sub
ordinate and comparatively unim
portant by comparison with these. }

Oyster packers will lose much OF
their trade, according to W. Nc d.
Lee. chairman Board Fisheries, owing
to the fact that the Louisiana planters
and packers are paying more to the
skilled shuckers and packers than can
he afforded in this State. He says that
the increased cost of oysters is due to
the increase allowed to shuckers and
tongers.

Don't Blame the Cook

If your bread and pastry is the
soggy, indigestible misery-making
kind. It's dollars to doughnuts
that the FLOUR is guilty Of the
offense.
Our flour makes light, white, de-
licious bread and pastry always.
"Poor Luck" is unknown, where
if rules the cooking. 1t insures
good results because it is uniform
in quality-Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and every day in the
week the BEST.
Candidly, can you afford to go on
using hap-hazard flour when our
mill -to-consumer system puts our
superior product in your home at
less expense?
We cut out the retailers profits.
We sell you flour direct at whole.
sale prices. We will save you all
those dollars that the retail dealer
has previously pocketed.
Try our method. You'll never go
back to the old way. Write us for
