To The Voters of Augusta
County and the City
of Stanton.

Believing that every voter owes 1t not
only to himself but to his fellowman to
keep his elective franchise absolutely
free from promise or pledge in order
that he may on the day of the election
be at perfect liberty to cast his vote for
the candidate he has then made up his
mind is best qualified for the office to
| be filled.
! Believing further that this is a most
! important period in the history of Vir-
ginia regarding MORAL, EDUCATION
AL AND INDUSTRIAL advancement,
! which demands of each voter special
duty of correctly informing himself as
! to the real record of each candidate in
his advocacy, aid, effort and sacrifice
in behalf of such advancement, which
should receive his support regardless
of POLITICAL PREJUDICES AND PAR
TY AFFILIATIONS.
| therefore, by request of many citi-
zens of both county and city, announce
i myself an Independent Candidate for
! the House of Delegates, subject to your
choice only on the day of election,
among other candidates asking your
trust and confidence in the discharge
| of such duties as may deVolve upon
each member of that honorable body
at its next session in dealing with
questions of vital importance now be-
fore the people.
The hearty support the Independent
Candidates received from nearly fifty
T; per cent. of the voters two years ago
was highly appreciated by all temper
ance advocates. / stand now on the
Liquor Question as l stood then-the
j County-Unit System or elimination of
the traffic from the State as the only
permanent settlement of the saloon
question. Respectfully, yours,

has behind it just what
the Republican party has in the Ma
ton. 1t has behind it the corporations
and the trusts, and this means the
money. Like Tammany, the corpora
lions of Virginia pay little heed to Ma
tional politics. That is saved to them
by others. They only look after Vir-
ginia. We see no hope for the present
Republican ticket. The corporations
want no change. Most of the present
office holders are so reliable. They
would not swap them on anysaccount.
The change that will come will be not
direct turning from Democracy to
Republicanism, but change from a
Democratic to an Independent govern
ment which will weed out the bad in
both parties and bring about survi-
val of the fittest.

CONFIDENT RAILROAD IN
VALLEY WILL PAY
ROANOKE PROMISES 100000 WORTH
OF BUSINESS A MONTH IF LINE
is EXTEN DIED.

Impressed more than ever that Bal
timore's interest in the Valley of Vir-
ginia railroad, which has long been
failure as an investment, can be made
to pay, City Councilman Timothy o.
Heatwole, of the twelfth ward, has re-
turned to Baltimore after trip over
the road determined to renew his eff
forts for an investigation of the con-
duct of the properly, says the Balti-
more News.
While he has not mapped out a plan
of campaign, DR.. Heatwole said that
he would first try to impress on the
city directors of the road the necessity
of determined stand against the pres
ent method of conducting it's affairs.
If this fails to bring forth fruit he
probably will try for councilmanic
investigation.
1.-THE Valley of Virginia road is a
good piece of property and there is no
reason in the world why the city
should not get some returns from its
investment, SAID DR.. Heatwole. ssThat
there is something wrong in the man.
agement of the property is evidenced
by the fact in the same territory there
is small railroad, about AZ miles long
and owned by an individual, that is
not only paying interest on it's bonded
Indebtedness and amply providing for
its sinking fund, but is also paying
substantial dividends"
DR.. Heatwole said he believed il
would be to the advantage of the Val
ley road to extend it's lines to Roanoke,
distance of about so miles from Lex.
ington, It's present terminus. He said
that the road owns the right of way
and that considerable work was done
on the extension some years ago before
the project was abandoned.
'The people of Roanoke are enthu
siastic over the proposition for short
er route to Baltimore, and they assured
me that if the Valley road extended it,
lines the city would from the start turr
over to it business amounting to 500,
600 month";" said the councilman.

Every day tends more and more to
strengthen the belief that Senator
Thos. s. Martin stuck his finger in the
local option fight in Staunton. Maybe
he thinks he thus saved the day for
his candidate, Judge Mann. He ought
to know that he broke the Democratic
back in Staunton that day. AS GER
tain as the sun shines he sent 300 good
Democrats "a fishin'n or into the Re
publican column. This is the kind of
politics the Democrats have served to
them, and the kind for which they
must be thankful.

EXPECTS HUGE R. R. MERGER.
THEREFORE DIRECTOR FOX URGES
CITIES TO ORGANIZE FOR BET
TER WATERWAYS.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 6.-John
A. Fox, special director of the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress, who has
travelled upwards of $4,000 miles in the
interest of the congress, said today that
the biggest waterway convention ever
held would assemble in Washington,
December Sth, 9th and 10th, next.
Mr.. Fox, speaking on the subject OF
waterway Improvements, said: cit be-
comes more apparent every day that We
expect in the near future in the United
States gigantic railway merger. Eff
forts to compel railways to compete by
law have seemingly failed.
"Do you know" Mr.. Fox continued,
'sthat the cities on the $1,000 miles of
navigable streams in the United States
and the cities on the Pacific, the At
lantic and the Gulf coasts control sew
enty per cent. of the population of the
Union? They also control most of the
commerce.
"These cities-that is, most of them
are now paying high railroad rates
that could be UNNECESSARILY lowered if
the waterways were improved. If
these cities can be thoroughly organic
ed, awakened to the need of cheaper
transportation and the importance of
showing Congress that the only way
to do this is through bond-issue of
one-half billion dollars, there would be
such an awakening as Washington has
not seen in many years, and cores
ponding betterment of the entire Uni
