Denver, n. d., March 8.
Mr.. Editor II will write you IA
few lines. We reached here alright,
and had a pleasant trip. We found
plenty OF snow, but expect winter to
break in veIS short time. 1 have
just returned from the mountain
after load Of wood. / hauled 1-2
cords at one load. / also got some
fine fish from the lakes in the noun
tain, averaging.2 12 pounds each,
and will return next week for more
wood and more fish. / would much
rather be here and wade the snow
than be in Virginia and wade the
mud through the rain. We can raise
more per acre on our cheap pararie
land than you can in Virginia on
your high priced land. / say, "cheap
pararie" land, not in quality but in
price. Yours truly,

DENY
Mann CHARGES
Pickett-Stuart Camp, of Motto
way, Commend Candidates
Confederate Record.

We have received the following :,
with request TO publish it.-Ed.
AT a meeting of Pickett-Stuart
Camp Confederate Veterans. of Not
toway County, held at Nottoway
Courthouse, on Saturday, the 9th day
of March, 1909, the following resolu-
tion was unanimously adopted
Whereas, a certain Richmond news
paper has seen fit TO make an attack
upon our Comrade, Judge William
Hodges Mann, making charges of a
personal nature, and seeking by in
nuendo and insinuation to create the
impression that his record as Con-
federate soldier was such rs to be TO
his discredit; and
Whereas, all of the members of
this Camp have known Judge Mann
for many years, and many of us have
known him intimately since he came
to Nottoway as boy in 1859, and are
familiar with his history since that
time, including the period of the war,
when he served in the 18th Virginia
Regiment and when he acted as n
scout in Dinwiddie county;
Now, the refore, be il
Resolved by Pickett-Stuart Camp
oil Confederate Veterans, of Nottoway
county, in meeting assembled:
l. That, although this Camp is
non-political in every respect, yet as
its members we feel that we would
be recreant TO our duty 9s men and
comrades did we not condemn, and
we do now condemn and denounce,
the attack which has been made up
on our comrade as unair, unjust, un-
lIue and unowrthy of the considera-
alton OF any good man
2. That we have read Judge Mann's
statement OF his record during the
war, and we believe il TO be true i'm
every respect; and we know of moth
ing in his record t..at we do not COM
mend.
.. The fact that for the past ten
years, or more, we have, from time,
reelected him as commander of our
camp should he conclusive evidence
of the fact that we believe his
record TO be without Flemish, and of
the high esteem in which we hold
him as n man and a cormade.
3. That, knowing Judge Mann as
we do, we take pleasure in declaring
to the people Of this Commonwealth,
that as soldier, a judge, n senator,
neighbor, friend and Christian
gentleman, he has measured up to
the full standard of al that We would
require OF him; that his private anti
his public life have been clean and
pure, and that he enjoys the full
confidence, affection and esteem of
his neighbors, his countIymen, and
all who know him best.
4. That we respectfully request all
of the newspapers of this Common
wealth, daily and weekly, to publish
these resolutions.
w. Horace Jelrress, Chairman,
w. II. Verser, Secretary.

REAL REVISION
KEYNOTE OF new
TARIFF MEASURE
Cheaper Shoes, Clothing, Win
dow Glass, Lumber and Paper
Promised BY Commission.

Washington, March 11.-Cheaper
shoes, clothes, window glass, lum Der
and paper, will be among the pub
lies profits when the Payne Tariff
bill is passed by Congress. The ideas
of the tariff flamers are being recon-
ciled, and the revision is to respond
to the popular demand for reduction.
AT this time the Committee on
Ways and Means is practically
agreed to 80 per cent reduction in
all steel schedules except billets.
The duties on woolens will be re-
duced. The wooden mills are no long
er depending on protection, and the
price of cloth is too high the leaders
think. Plate and W indow glass will
be reduced, and lumber will be put
on the free list. Wood pulp and print
paper will be materially reduced,
and there is strong chance of their
being admitted duty free. The house
bill will include a provision for free
hides. A reduction on shoes and
other leather goods will also be re-
ported in the bill.
There is not much encouragement
for the coffee importers in the senti-
ment on coffee taS. Chairman
Payne is still strongly i'm favor of a
tax as revenue producer. He is run
ming counter TO the opinions OF
majority of the House and a majorl-
ty OF the committee.
1t is expected that the bill will be
ready for reporting TO the House
within five days after Congress meets
on March 10. BY that time the ,esti-
mony before the committee, the
statistical information for the MEM
bers and all other documents wilt
have been indeXed and printed in
convenient form. The democrats ale
not going TO introduce a substitute
bill. Amendments To all schedules
will be offered, and unless the Can
non oligarchy can bring in rules 10
prevent it there will be free debate in
the House. The argument of the
democrats will be that the country
needs more revenue and that the way
TO raise il is TO reduce To a minimum
tariffs on articles OF common con-
sumption TO encourage importation.
The hunt for revenue is the one
worry of the republican leaders. The
taxes of many articles will have TO
be increased or the treasury deficit
will become an institution.
Pottery will be schedule which
will be raised and taSes on luxuries,
such as laces, perfumes, toilet articles
and silks, may be tilted again.
1t is generally conceded that at
least two months will be required for
the House TO conclude consideration
of all the schedules.

James Hawkins III

The report reached here Sunday
that James Hawkins, who recently
underwent surgical operation at
the Memorial hospital in Richmond,
had taken sudden change for the
worse, and that the doctors thought
IL would be best for some members OF
his family TO come To Richmond at
once. His father, II. Nj. Hawkins,
and brother, Robert Hawkins, left
Immediately for his bedside. Reports
received during the past week indi-
Gated that his condition was critical,
but on yesterday IA letter from Rich
mond stated that he gradually i'm
proved for the last day or two, aud
the doctors thought the chances for
his recovery were improving. 1t was
feared that he was taking typhoid

symptoms OF fever have been appar-
ent for the last few days.

Man Talked of New Road.

A man claiming to be a civil en-
gineer in the employ of a company
organized to build an interurban
line was in Palmyra last Thursday
and Friday, and gave his name as
E. G., Clark, but he must have stop
ped at some private residence as
his name could not be found on the
hotel registers. To the few people
he talked he said that an interurban
line was to be built from Moberly
Ito Hannibal via Monroe City and
Palmyra, and that others interested
in the scheme would be here in a
few days. He spent most of his
time walking over the country in
this vicinity and when he left, he
said he was going to Monroe City.
We did not see the mysterious
stranger" but those who did, say he
was we'll dressed. a good talker and
seemed to be well posted on nearly
every subject. A road from Mober-
lily to Hannibal via Palmyra doesn't
look practical to us but if any body
wants Ito bnild it we won't try to
|,stopthem. Palmyra Spectator.

Town Sinks Into Canyon.

Reno, New, Oct. 28.- That the
old mining camp of Virginia City is
sinking into the deep canyon on the
side of which it is located and that
it has already slipped downhill II
feet within the last few years, was
announced last night by Prof.
George ]. Younghead of the mining
and geological department of the
University of Nevada.
Prof. Younghead declared the
steady sinking is due to the old I'M
derground timbering in the Com
stock mines, placed there fifty years
ago, which is gradually crumbling.
He predicted a catastrophe at any
moment unless steps are taken to
prevent it Only a few days ago
old glory hole" caved in and left
an opening several hundred feet
deep.
