When that vessel is ready to be placed In

in every department has forgotten the

We have heard nothing from At
torney.G General Anderson on the
subject, but we feel certain that the
rumor to the effect that he may be-
come candidate for Congress next
year is without foundation in fact,
and that Mr.. Anderson cannot be
persuaded to enter this contest.
Certainly the zeal Of some OF his
Richmond friends in the matter will
create suspicion that something
more is desired than the mere elect
ion of Mr.. Anderson, whose brill
liant career as a public man could
not be in any way rendered more
brilliant by such an election.
Our people are proud OF the At
torney-General. and he is univer-
sally popular and beloved in Rock
bridge. But, at the same time, they
appreciate Mr.. Flood and his record
in Congress, and we believe that
they would like to see him go back
without opposition. We do not an
ticipate that there will be any oppo-
sition to him in his own party. He
has made fine representative, and
his experience as a legislator rem
ders him a more valuable man to his
constituents year by year.

THE GOvERNORsHIP

The Richmond News Leader on
Monday published the result OF a
canvass of the rural press bearing
on the Tucker campaign, with
special reference to the Malone
letters. OF the seventy-fve papers
examined. twenty-five are for Mann,
twenty. three for Tucker, twelve
neutral and thirteen silent.
With reference to the position OF
THE GAZETTE, the News Leader
makes two statements, as follows;
1.-THE Lexington Gazette as
sails Tucker but ignores the
letters"
1.-THE Lexington Gazette, pub
lished in Mr.. fuckers old
home, seems to favor Mann
warmly. but says little or moth
ing of the letters. "
The GAZETTE has endeavored to
give the news of the campaign with
out prejudice, and has treated both
candidates alike. Not a single edi-
torial opinion has been expressed
as indicating preference for Gov
ernor, nor will there be. Our read
ers are left to make their own Sc
lection without suggestion from The
GAZETTE.

VIRGINIA EDITORS TO PRO.
MOTE AGRICULTURE

At the annual meeting OF the Vir-
pinia Press Association, held last
week at Rockbridge Alum Springs,
a resolution was adopted looking to
the advancement of the agricultural
interests of the Old Dominion. The
editors pledged their support to the
policy now pursued by numerous
papers throughout the State, OF en-
couraging and promoting every Ell
fort made for the advancement and
development of Virginia's agricu-
tural interests.
The conditions in Virginia are
ideal Tor the fullest development OF
agricultural wealth. With climate
and soil and water unsurpassed,
with vast undsveloped resources of
field and farm, with transpor tation
facilities the best, Virginia stands
on the threshold ola industrial and
agricultural revival ready and wait
ing to be led and directed to &C
conplish great things.
AS concrete illustrations OF what
may be accomplished by wisely and
systematically improving local con-
ditions, a member of the association
from the Eastern Shore stated that
the two counties of Accomac and
Northa mpton last year produced
Irish and sweet potatoes to the
value of ten million dollars. This
large production has been reached
only after years CT patient cultiva-
ton and the application of the best
methods. What can be done on the
Eastern Shore OF Virginia in two
counties in the production OF vege-
tables, may be done in Rockbridge
and other Valley counties In the
production of grains and grasses
and fruits.
For months past the editor OF the
Richmond Times Dispatch has been
preaching the Importance OF larger
corn yield, and as an inducement
prizes are offered for the largest
yield per acre. Virginia farmers
are urged to improve their methods,
improve their lands and thus i'm
prove their financial condition. At
tention is directed to the absurdity
of producing only thirty or forty
bushels to the acre when it is pos
sible to increase the yield to seven
ty.fve or eighty or even a hundred
bushels per acre.
If the program of publicity as de-
cided on by the Virginia newspaper
men be carried out, and the
splendid resources OF the State
brought to public attention In such
q way as to compel consideration,
then we may expect the young men
Of the State to remain in the Old
Dominion and help in the work Of
development. We may also conf
IDENTIFY hope for the inflow OF desira-
BILE settlers from other sections OF
She country.
