Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CULPEPER, Va, January 19.-More than
the ordinary amount of interest is being
shown in the session of the circuit court,
which convenes here Monday morning, be-
cause of the fact that Philip ]. Strother
and James A Strother, his brother, are to
appear and answer for the killing of VIII
F. Bywaters, their brother-in-law, the 18th
of last month. The particulars of the al
legged homicide We're given IN The Star at
the time
While there is not much outward evidence
Of feeling in the case several things have
occurred during the progress of the in
vestigation of the case to show that there
is an undercurrent of sentiment that may
result in additional trouble sooner or later.
Judge Grimsley, the judge Of this circuit,
has already withdrawn from the case his
reason for not appearing upon the bench
during the trial being based upon his re-
lationship to the Bywaters family Judge
Grimsley, 1t is stated, was a close personal
friend Of VIII Bywaters IN addition to
being relative and, 1t is said, he has
taken an active interest in the prosecution
of the case. Following his withdrawal Gov
Swanson designated Judge Aiken of Dam
Vile to act In his place. 1t is stated that
Judge Aiken does not know any Of the
parties to the case.
A surprise was occasioned by the with
drawal from the prosecution of the case of
G. NJ. Waite, the commonwealth attorney
He retired it is stated, for personal reasons
and his place will be filed by John Keith.
commemorative attorney for Fauquier
county, who is to be assisted by Capt.
Micajah Woods of Charlottesville The
latter conducted the prosecution of Sam
uel j. McCue, former mayor of Charlottes-
vile, who was hanged for the murder of
his wife.

care, I shall not deny. But this much
| do deny, that accumulations OF capt.
tai and corporations are to be pre-
judged as guilty, that men having
part in them are to be deemed almost
as without right to work, without
right to fair play, which is the native
appanage of all Americans. And
this I deny, that all men are equally
talented, equally far-seeing, equally
Industrious, that consequently all are
more or less entitled to an equal pos
session of wealth, or an equal indus
trial reward. This deny, that men,
being as they are by nature and by
habit, society can ever be without it's
rich and it's comparatively poor, that
American industries and enterprises
can ever thrive and hold their own
in worldwide competition without
there being here and there, ministering
to it's needs, large accumulations of
wealth, and, consequently, large
gatherings of men into associations
as contributors to this wealth. De-
stroy great enterprises, make impos-
sible the unifcation of many individ-
ual energies and, if equality there
comes, it will be the equality of medic
Gritty and social poverty.
'Let there be, say again, legisla-
tion-but legislation with eye single
to the general welfare which is fos-
tered by justice to all, by wisdom in
adoption of methods, by full recog-
milton of laws of nature in the in
dividual life of men, in economic re-
lations of one class of men towards
another, and of all classes of men
towards the nation at large.'

A Pioneer Passes Away.

The many friends of Mrs. John F.
Prescott, who formerly resided in
Wyanett, will be grieved to learn of
her death, which occurred at her home
in Snohomish, WASH, on the 18th of
this month.
She was kind old lady of many
virtues, and her ever helpful and
cheerful disposition endeared her to
the hearts of all who knew her.
The husband with four children,
John, Albert, Mrs. Mabel Prescott
and Mrs. Walter Annis, survive her.
The latter, whose home is in Isanti
county, went to Washington two years
ago to be with her mother during her
last illness. It was then thought that
the end was near.
Although a great sufferer she al
ways bore her pain with gentle pa
thence and was ever unwilling to cause
those around her trouble or care
concerning her. Mr.. and Mrs. Pres
colt have made their home in WASH
ington for the past five years. Prior
to that time they, with their children,
lived for twenty-five years on the farm
now owned by S. Winsor in Wyanett.
OF Importance to Schools.
School district clerks or teachers
in any district, by calling at this
office, can obtain one copy of Welch's
Teachers Helper, It is a first class
little book filed with suggestions
toward successful and up-to-date
teaching. There is a copy for every
district in the county.
They are fine helpers and every
teacher, old or young, can obtain
new ideas and inspiration by study
ing them.
Some of the school districts are not
as yet supplied with the new school
laws. Remember, it is only IS cents
per copy. Every district clerk should
have one-in fact it is the duty of the
school boards to see that one is pur-
chased for each district.

Tho Last Communion.

Many have knelt who will never
kneel again. The last visit they paid
to the altar they did not mean to be
the last; they imagined perhaps it
would be followed by many hundreds
of similar visits; but the hand of
death was upon them, and they knew
it not: and it beckoned them away,
and they returned here no more {.
How bitterly they would nourn-if
mourning could be for those to whom
Thou hast said Come!-over any cold
ness, neglect. or irreverence of which
they have ever been guilty. /. The
mightiest conqueror of modern times
himself conquered in the end-said
that the happiest day of his sad,
though brilliant life was the day of
his first Communion. Happy those
whose happiest day is the day Of their
last Communion!
