Honor TO Whom Honor Is Due.

When a public servant, under pecu-
harly trying circumstances discharges
his full duty to the people who have
placed him in office, l for one think
he should be publicly commended
therefor. Such commendation should
be given our efficient Commonwealth
Attorney in reference to his prosecu-
ton in the Norfolk city court of what
is generally known as the "Onancock
Riot Cases.n When these cases were
moved to the Norfolk court. the law
required that that court should pro-
coed with the cases "as if the prose-
cution had been originally therein:
therefore it was the legal duty of the
prosecuting attorney of that court to
take charge of the prosecution, and
the Commonwealth Attorney of
Accomack was under no legal obliga-
ton to appear in the cases land having
so faithfully performed his duty in the
prosecution of the cases in Accomack,
it could be scarcely be said that he
was under any moral obligation TO
follow the cases to Norfolk. de dld,
however, follow the cases to Norfolk,
and single handed succeeded in con-
victing the principal rioters, altho'
they were defended by two as able
and skilful counsel as can be found in
Virginia: and he succeeded too, not
only without the assistance of the
prosecuting attorney of Norfolk city,
which upon request he refused to rem
der, but (as the writer is reliably in
informed in the face of open opposi-
ton and encouragement on the part
of that official, even in the presence
of the court and jury. Such faithful
adherence to duty and to the interests
of the people of Accomack, and es-
pecially of the town of Onancock'
under such trying circumstances can
not be too highly commended.

FRUIT ON THE BENCH
That Section Has Right Soil
and Climate for All
Kinds of Fruits.

The staff correspondent of the
Statesman spent last week i'll town
and sent to his paper the following
wrire-up of the new country that
has been opened to cultivation by
the building of the Canon canal
ut has been demonstrated that
fruits of all kinds grow i'll the val
ley contiguous to Emmett to per.
fection. The soil and climate are
especially adapted to this branch
of agriculture. Peaches, prunes,
pears, cherries, apples and apricols
are the staples. while III the
smaller fruits, strawberries, dew
berries. rapsberries and black
berries are extensively grown.
Prospects for full crop were never
better at this time of the year. 1t
was feared a few weeks ago that
the late frosts had damaged some
varieties, but nothing was injured
except a few early peaches in the
low places, and the loss in these
cases will not amount to 5 per
cent. Good drainage is essential
on fruit farm. For this reason
the slopes are preferered to the
lower level ground in the valley.
The sandy soil produces earlier
fruit, but no better quality.
One of the model fruit ranches
here is the Westlake Fruit Ranch.
1t comprises so acres of which 80
acres are in fruit. There are 40
acres of prunes and 5 acres of
cherries. 1t is conservatively esti-
mated that the yield of prunes ON
this place will be at least % car
loads this season. There are about
10 tons to the car and the price
