PROGRESSION OUR
WATCHWORD.

But few stop to think OF the
rapid progress this section is
making. In very short time all
the land near here, heretofore
classed and looked on as mere
desert, will not only be taken up,
but be under water and produc-
tive. And that means much for
this town of Holly. 1t is only a
matter of time. In the mean
time, and while things are devel-
oping, it is not too early to begin
to educate the county to the fact
that this is the logical point for
the county seat. Nothing like
starting in early. No use sleep
ing on our oars.

far from desiring to see the govern
lnent take charge OF the railroads to
the exclusion of the States, he vehe-
mently protested against the proposal
OF the President that interstate rail-

denim another man for opposing State
control OF railroads. Is more than we

Bryan MS nm Attraction.

Noting the great crowds that well
coined Mr.. Bryan in Richmond the
Washington Star asks:
But what is this sort of enthusiasm
worth IN votes? That is an old ques-
ton, and twice in Mr.. Bryan's case the
answer has been against him. Both In
1895 ana in 1900 crowds gathered and
cheered him wherever he appeared,
but did not follow him to the polls.
In 1896 the Republican uneasiness was
based on the extraordinary interest
manifested in the Democratic cnndi-
date as a stumper. Even Mr. Hanna
had his bad half hours trying to deter
nine whether there was vote in every
cheer in Mr.. BrSan's honor,
AS an attraction" Mr. Bryan at the
end of twelve strenuous years is amaz-
ingly fresh Somehow the people do
not tire of him, but still swell his meet
ings to record breaking proportions. Is
1t any wonder, then. that he continues
to hope. and that the vision of the
White House attracts him now as
strongly as when first he saw it?

Colonel F. w. Maude, in the April
contemporary Review. describes gun
which sis in existence and can impart,
nv the application of electricity. an ini-
tial velocity OF 10000 feet a second TO
nroiectiles OF all dimensions, and which
can be practically handled under war
conditions and on board ship or IN per-
manent defenses Projectiles OF 1000
pounds weight lie fairly within these
limits"
In a succeeding passage he declares
that If the rule with velocities up 70
$500 feet a second, viz, that resistance
increases as the square of velocity
holds good at the higher rates. then
there is practically nothing to prevcht
these weapons from throwing shells
from London to Paris, or vice versa, at
the rate of a few thousand a day. The
inventor is W. S. Simpson, Scots
man.

who interview we'd Colonel Maude, assures
critics that the greatest experts In tie
country have seen, examined and wit
messed the working Of the model, and
expressed their entire satisfaction with
its practicability. He adds that Colonel
Maude does not hesitate to say that
the results claimed are certain to be
realized. The fact that with this
weapon it will be possible to give q
| proiectile velocity OF 10000 feet a
second and upward, without smoke

Two Sides of the Cattle Quarantine

Perhaps the hardest thing for the
majority of us to see is that there are
we hear the advocates of any particu-
lar state stating their views, we are
often led to believe that the other
side is grossly Ignorant of the facts
in the case. or else absolutely deprived
of all sense of fairness.
1t was the pleasure of the writer.
on the 9th Of March. to be present
at the farmers meeting at Thinking
(Kenbridge) Va, and listen to very
able discourse delivered by DIR. j. g.
Ferneyhough, State Veterinarian, on the
cattle quarantine and the cattle tick.
Dr. Ferneyhough made it very clear
to all present that the cattle quaran-
tine could be raised from Lunenburg

board of supervisors and himself.

Considered as manufacturing bust
ness, newspaper making is enormously
hazardous and absurdly unremunera-
tive With other manufacturing con-
Germs the rule Is that II they don't
make profits they quit. but that Is not
the rule with newspapers. They al
ways have moral and political reasons
for clinging to life long. long after
there has ceased to be any pecuniary
warrant for it. newspaper In these
days is about as likely to declare a
dividend as church Is. Competition
between papers Is intense, the price
of nearly all of them is too low, the
cost of white paper and manufacture
too high. and they give great deal
too much for the one meagre cent that
most of them now sell for. We hope

soon that no newspaper shall be more
