While the Democrats of Brookland

doing the thing by electing two dele.
gates to the Roanoke cont ntion,
when there should have been but one.
varina District. the abiding place of
Cyclone" Samuels and other celebri-
ties. was sleeping serenely.
On the day after the upheaval at
Yellow Tavern, when every one was
discussing the matter Of delegates and
conventions. no tidings had then been
received from the slumbering district.
Yesterday 1t PANIED out, after due
inquiry on the part OF those on the
outside as well as many OF the proml-
nent ones in Varina. that the patriotic
Democracy OF that district had failed
for some unaccountable reason to pull
off the important event. AT least that
was the way OF 1t as far as any of
them knew. for II the meeting was held
at all. 1t was on the. dead quiet" and
II delegate was elected, he has kept
the news from the public.
Many remedies for the oversight have
been suggested by resourceful politi-
clans. among them the advisabllity OF
ending the dispute In Brookland by
letting one OF the surplus delegates
from that district go to Roanoke as
tho representative from Varina. Va
rina, however. is a proud district. and
would probably rather not be heard at

Seab0nrd Mny Apply for Relief.
The action OF the State Corporation
Commission in permitting the Vir-
ginia and southwestern Railway Com
pany to increase It's passenger rate
from to 8 cents is accepted by many
railroad men to mean that other roads
might be shown some mercy in view OF
the depressing traffic conditions. The
claim has been made that the companies
which protested the 2-cent rate order
cannot consistently come forward with
a plea In this connection, however, IT
was intimated that the receivers for
the Sea board Air Line might apply for
the right to Increase the rate. possibly
to 2 1-2 cents, which WOULD put IL Oh
a parity with the rates In five South
