New York, Dec. 5.-Several New
Workers who were identified with
Upton Sinclair author of 'Fhe Jun
gle" In his Inflated Helicon hall
communistic experiment at Engle-
wood, have announced that they Will
join the novelist In his latest scheme
for living the simple life and outwit-
ting the landlords.
Preparations are already being
made for the trip of the wagon cara
van, a colony on wheels, over two
continents. The start will probably
be made next spring. when Sinclair,
with a score or more of other liter
att, accompanied by their families
and their Wallets, maids, governesses
and stenographers, will set forth OH
their great trek, beginning In south
ern California, crossing the conti-
nent and then invading Europe and
possibly Asia.
"a practical protest against the
landlords, with their system of charg-
ing a rental for the use of the land
which God gave u.s." is the descrip-
tion of the experiment given by n
New York devotee of the author of
"The Jungle"
Others of the literary elect, who
are not admirers of Sinclair. declare
that he is Jealous of the fame at
tanned by his fellow socialist, Jack
London. in his trip around the world
in a small boat, and that Sinclair has
evolved his communlstic colony on
wheels as method of again getting
his share of the limelight, so neces-
sary to the sale of books.

ACC0MAC NEGRO FAIR RIOT.

Sergeant Chitty, of the troops sent
to Onancock by Governor Swanson, last
week arrested seven negroes who
caused trouble at the Tasley negro fair.
The sergeant had just broken up a
game of craps within the fair grounds.
when going through the woods, he
came across another game. When the
two negroes saw him they fired, the
bullet hitting negro woman who hap
pened to be between him and the
negroes. He called upon the negroes
to surrender.
When they did so at his second bid
ding both had pistols in their hands.
Sergeant Chitty, with the fatally
wounded negro woman at his feet. was
IN the woods alone, surrounded by sew
eral hundred negroes, the large major
lty OF whom were armed. He held
them at bay until corporal came to
his aid, when they arrested four negro
men and three negro women. Two men
were released and the others sent to
Jail to await the action of the GRAND
jury There were 5, 900 negroes at the
falr, the largest number ever gathered
together on the Eastern Shore. Twelve
carloads were brought from the South
at one time. The worst element from
Norfolk came with the intention of
creating a disturbance. The roads
We're almost impossible. But for the
soldiers there would no doubt have
been further trouble.

1t has cost us $500. 900, 900 to acquire
and hold the Philippine Islands.
The Filipinos are unhappy under on,
rule and would welcome Jap invasion
to free them from tyranny. They long
for a return of Spanish rule. Native
students declare our attitude is unin-
telligent, and resent being looked upon
as inferior people.
Governor Swanson has signed extra
dition papers for Bertha Cary, alias
Bertha Carr, colored, under arrest at
Saluda, Middlesex county, and wanted
by the police of Chester county, Pa,
for infanticide. 1t is stated that the
woman strangled her own infant with
a rope, leaving the nude body in the
woods and herself escaping to relatives
IN Virginia. She was traced to Saluda
by the Chester police.

and Americas combined. American
naval circles are agitated over a re-

to lay down the keel for a ship that
will be fifty per cent greater in tonnage
than the Dreadnaught. 1t is under
stood that the new ship is to be of 30
900 tons displacement, against 20, 600
tons of the Dreadnaught. The report
of the British plan has caused the
holder spirits among the American shin
designers to propose to lay down a bat
tleship of 10000 tons displacement.

the lead. Such a ship would cost no
less than $50, 900, 900.

ROLL YOUR "R'S."

When the clam goes back to his cloister,
And the oysters the only star.
When the restaurants all shall blossom
Forth the alluring signs
Here's where you get your oysters
Here's where your wise guy dimes. -
Now shall the pious people
Devise new ways to brew
For "sociables" meath the steeple,
Soup with zone in a Stew
Now will the haggard husband,
Cursed with wife who knocks,
Homeward hike with "a peacemaker-"
Only ga fry in box
Bivalve, dubbed the luscious"

May eat you still on credit

THE OLD TIME RELIGION.
lFrederieksburr Free Lance. }


An up-to-date minister, not preacher,
if yOu,please, recently denounced the old
time revival and camp-meetings and an
nounced he would have none Of them in
the future. In their place and stead he
proposes to have an annex built to bis
church, where pool can be INDUCED
in, bowling made another attrac-
ton, athletics encouraged, and high
singing MISUNDERSTANDING so high that
the congregation can not join in, and
will not know whether the choir is Civ
ing them Nobody Works But Father
or some old familiar hymn.
Old time religion is good enough for us.
and the old camp-meeting with it's sun
rise prayer service and its mourners
bench is of our liking, is of Virginia s
liking. We do not know anything more
inspiring for a better life and for the
uplifting of man than to hear one of the
old time hymns, such as "All Hail the
Power of Jesus name" sung by whole
congregation, all uniting in the song
service. It's the mourners' bench where a
man declares in public he is sinner and
asks for the prayers of the people of
God that he may be made better man.
And it is too emotional says the up-to-
date divine. Yes, it is emotional, but
it is the kind of emotion that often
brings the sinner to the throne of
grace and starts on a better life. But
so many back slide, they say. So they
do, but one, even one, may be saved.
and there is joy in Heaven over one sim
ner that repenteth. 1t is better that
one shall be saved, though many back
slide, than that none, not one, shall be
brought to see the error of their ways.
The new Testament, has many instan-
ces of revivals. In London on one oc-
casion there was great revival, which
was led by the good Evangelist Moody.
Many came up to the mourners' bench
to be prayed for, and many back Sided,
but one became converted; he became
one of the most'powerful evangelists and
preachers of this day, and he is going
through the world proclaiming with
effect the glad tidings of the gospel
of Jesus Christ, and sinners flock to
hear him and many are converted. Was
that revival without its fruits? No, we
say, thousand times no. Give us and
keep for our children the old time re-
ligion, with its revivals, mourners'
benches and camp-meetings; they do
good unto the people and bring many to
see the sinfullness and errors of their
ways. We will have none of the new
fashioned kind that panders to the
aesthetic, to the cultivated taste, but
does not reach the heart or convert the
soul.

WHY NOT?

By-products are valuable. 1t is said
that the great beef packers of the
West use all the steer except his breath,
and are searching for some method of
utilizing that. And the Standard Oil
Company could give away the refined
oil and have good margin of profit
out of the gasoline, paraffine, etc. At
our canning factories are great piles of
refuse of tomatoes. Why not make
alcohol of this. 1t is believed thousands
of gallons could be made out of what is
now thrown away.

A CHESTERFIELD county youth of

A CHESTERFIELD county youth of
eighteen, noble and promising, gave
up his life through the bite of a
worthless cur. When in the tbroes
of rabies, the dying boy besought his
heart-broken father to tie him to the
bed lest he do some harm to those
around him. Snapped by the dog,
which showed no hydrophobic symp-
toms and which he was driving from
the porch, the scar was nevertheless
treated alta Pasteur institute. No signs
of trouble appeared until several days
after apprehension was oil past. This
sacrifice of a life worth more than
millions of dogs should serve as a
warning to those who keep dogs at
home, and far greater lesson to the
owner or protector of rowing fees.

ANOTHER SUCCESS.
A Great State Fair Being Arranged

The second Annual Fair of the Vir-
ginia Fair Association will be held at
Richmond, October 7th to 18th, inclus-
i've. The management have made
many improvements in the grounds and
buildings which will contribute to the
convenience and comfort of the public.
The live stock exhibit of last year was
pronounced by experts to be the greatest
. ever assembled in the South, and the
indications are that this year will even
surpass last years record. Thirty
thousand dollars will be offered in
premiums, and ample provision has
been made for great variety of fea-
lures In the amusement line. The
races. over one of the best mile tracks
in the country, will doubtless prove the
leading feature in the amusement line.
The railroads have made liberal rates
for the public, and no doubt last years
record, when so, 600 people were present
on one day, will be equaled or surpassed.

LOYAL SUPPORT TO OYSTER
INTERESTS.

Inc editor OF the Norfolk Nir-
ginian-Pilot has kept in close touch
with the interests of Tidewater and
no one other more than the oyster
industry. Within recent years that
paper has watched assiduously the
sins and outs" of the oyster question
and has grasped the situation perhaps
better than the run of State news
papers. The work of the State Board
of Fisheries has come in for close and
impartial observation, and Tidewater
is fortunate that her papers are Civ
ing earnest support to the endeavors
ut the Board to save from depletion
the natural rocks in conjunction
with Jealous endeavor to encourage
the matter of propagation. In COM
menting few days ago, in leading
editorial, upon what is we'll known
the lack of funds for it's work that
each Board of Fisheries has had to
grapple with, and particularly during
this Exposition year when the State,
as host, has had entirely proper de-
mand for the States boats out of the
ordinary line-the Virginian Pilot
has this to say:
The vessels of the oyster navy
are the property of the State, and there
is no ground for objection to the Gov.
ernor's using these vessels when acting
in the service of the State, as he un-
questionably is in connection with the
jamestown Exposition. The in.
cident, however. is especially note.
worthy in that it serves to call attention
in no unmistakable manner to the i'm.
perative duty Of the next General As
sembly to provide more literally for the
proper carrying on of the work entrusted
to the Fisheries Board. Under the ex.
listing law, all the revenues derived
from the oyster industry are covered
into the State Treasury, the expendi
lures of the Board being limited to g
specific annual appropriation. If this
method is to continue, certainly the
amount of the appropriation should be
so increased as to enable the Board tc
properly discharge its duties of pro.
tecting and promoting the oyster 9.
dustry of the State, without financial
hamper or handicap.
"Our opinion, however, is that the
present law on this point is wrong and
should be changed. The Board should
be empowered not only to collect the
oyster revenues but to expend them to
whatever extent may be necessary for
the protection and promotion of the
industry, the balance, if any, at the
end of each year to be covered into the
State Treasury. The policy of attempt
ing to make the oyster industry direct
producer of revenue is highly injurious
to the industry and to the State. The
chief benefit accruing to the common
wealth from its oyster industry is the
increased property and taxable values
created thereby; in comparison with
this, the direct revenue is only a minor
consideration. If every dollar of revenue
collected from this source is necessary
for the preservation of the natural rocks
and the proper promotion of the industry
it would be we'll and wisely expended
for that purpose. Our present policy
with regard TO the oyster industry seem:
to be one of prefering the pennies Of
today TO the dollars of tomorrow.
