Sudden Death Of Child near Fish
erSVllle,

ersvllle.
Lacy Daniel Joseph, the infant son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Joseph, of the
Fishersville neighborhood, died sudden
ly on Friday afternoon, the 18th ult.,
aged one year, nine months and ten
days. The child was playing on the
front porch when he suddenly fell, I'M
conscious, to the floor. Medical aid
was promptly summoned but the fami-
ly physician, DR.. White, of Thinking
Spring, was absent from home and did
not arrive for some hours.
In the meantime, the fond mother,
assisted by kind neighbors, resorted to
such remedies as were at hand until the
DOCTORS arrival. When DR.. White
finally came he said that his presence
earlier would have made no difference
as the malady was beyond the power
of medical skill. The little fellow re-
NAMED unconscious from the first and
late in the afternoon the gentle spirit
passed to its eternal home on high. He
was an unusually beautiful child and
precocious to marked degree.
The father and mother have the sym.
pathy of wide circle of friends. The
funeral services were conducted by Rev.
H. A. Cofman, of the Methodist Epis
cOna1 church and the interment took
place at Asbury Chapel.

HEARTY APPROVAL.

We take the liberty of extracting the
following expressions from a letter
just received from very prominent
gentleman and valued subscriber in a
neighboring county:
sit has always given me great pleas
ure to read your editorials, and espec-
tally so in the last few months, and l
believe beyond shadow of doubt that
the sentiments expressed by you are
the sentiments of seventy-fve per cent.

Gratis of Virginia.

ciples of democracy l can no longer

how thoroughly I agree with you ~

ing, and / am more convinced than

ton to the SPECTATOR run out.

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

Believing that every voter owes it 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 theday 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.
1 therefore, by request of many citi-
zens of both county and city, announce
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 it's next session in dealing with
questions of vital Importance now be-
fore the people.
The hearty support the Independent
Candidates received from nearly fifty
per cent. of the voters two years ago
was highly appreciated by all temper
ance advocates. I stand now on the
Liquor Question as I stood then-the
County Unit System or elimination OF
the traffic from the State as the only
| permanent settlement of the saloon
question. Respectfully, yours,
" 80 If w. A. RIFE.

Bryan Frozen Out.

Congressman Maynard, of the Second
Virginia District, whose delegation to
the Roanoke State Democratic Con-
vention in June, 1908, opposed instruc-
lions for Bryan as stubbornly and as
sullenly as New York's Tammany OPP
posed Bryan in the Denver Convention,
is quoted in the Washington Post as
saying that it looks like Harmon. OF
Ohio, will be the next Democratic pres
idential nominee, adding that DR.. Cook,
the Arctic explorer, might be the vice
presidential nominee. He continued:
~ am not joking now when say l
should like to vote for Cook"
If that is the idea of statesmans p
entertained by the Second District, it
is not matter of wonder that senti-
ment down there is against Mr.. Bryan.
Richmond Journal.
1t is also no wonder that Maynard
will have hard work being returned
to Congress next time.

New ENTERPRISE.

Mr.. J. w. Bodley has been issued a
permit for building in Staunton, be-
tween the Standard Oil Company's
place and the B. & o. turntable, just
this side of Putnam Organ factory.
The building will be increased in size
as the occasion may demand and will
be occupied by new industry to be
known as the Bodley Manufacturing
Company. Machinery equipment has
already been ordered. The structure
will be put up at once and the new en-
terprise will begin operation at as early
a date as possible, probably within the
next few weeks. The firm will manu-
facture lumber trucks and patent cane
products and will employ quite num-
Der OF workmen.
1t will be recalled that the old Bodley
Wagon Works which was formerly
operated here did large business and
was big advertisement for the city as
we'll as benefit in the way of giving
employment to scores of hands. The
new enterprise will be under practical
ly the same management with Mr.. J.
w. Bodley as actual head.

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts di-
rectly on the blood or mucous surfa-
ces. Halls Catarrh Cur is not quack
medicine. 1t was prepared by one OF
the best physicians in this country fol
years and is regular prescription. 1t
is composed of the best tonics known,
combined with the best blood purifi.
ers, acting directly ON the mucous sur.
faces. The perfect combination of the
two ingredients is what produces such
wonderful results in curing catarrh.

FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

We have called attention several
times to the ACCESSIBILITY of our fire de-
partment having an automobile as a
hose wagon. 1t is well known that
our streets are sometimes in winter
impossible of travel by horses. Our
hills are steep and when ice is on them
they cannot be Travelled. This plan
has been adopted as to hose wagons,
fire engines, and hook and ladder ap-
planes, in st. Louis, and it has re-
duced the fire losses, it being known
that the automobile is quicker and
safer, and usually all depends upon
the quickness in reaching the fire.

DR.. r. T. Fauntleroy's Invention.
ELECTRICITY ONCE MORE TO THE
FRONT.

FRONT.
For the SPECTATOR:
One point more is added to the uses
of electricity IN its benefits to mankind.
1t will be of interest to the people at
large to know that now the marked,
increase in the causes of appendicitis,
liberation of the bowels and constipa-
ton is avoided by the recent invention
by DR.. T. T. Fauntleroy,o of Staunton, of
an Electro Magnetic Sitter which re-
moves the fine particles of steel from
-four, which are produced by the ordi-
nary wear and tear of the steel rollers
that grind the wheat, condition in all
-four manufactured nowadays by the
so-called sNew Patent Process" If
! these particles of steel are not removed
from the flour as it comes from the
steel rollers; but are eaten in the bread,
they will cause by mechanical irrita-
| ton to the vermiform the stomach and
! the bowels, appendicitis, liberation,
and constipation.
The process of removing these par
ticles of steel is very simple. 1t is &C.
complished by passing the flour after
/, it comes from the steel rollsss through
a magnetised metal cylinder, with 8
flange cup at the lower end, into which
the particles fall, after the current Of
electricity is cut off. The cup is then re-
moved and cleansed, and returned te
its place, and the current turned on,
when the SITTER is ready for use again.
This invention has been Endorsed by
some of the leading doctors Of Staun.
ton, who examined it, and pronounced
to the inventor their opinion that il
should be placed in all mills using steel
rollers in grinding flour, or meal.
Twenty years ago when all -four was
made by the German Burr Stones, we
never heard of appendicitis. Nowadays
we have thousand to one of the cases
we had then.

THE B, & O. EXTENSION

Meetings have been held in various
towns throughout the Valley of Vir-
ginia and last Saturday night in Staun-
ton, to call attention TO the great adj
vantages likely to result from an eX-
tension of the B. & o. Ry. from Lex
ington to Salem. 1t is known that a
great deal of work was done on this
line and there can be no doubt that a
connection with the N. d w. and Vir-
ginian Rys. at Salem would prove a
paying proposition if undertaken in
good faith. But if reports be true the
N. & w. and b. 4 o. are one. They
are known as Pennsylvania properties,
and there is little prospect that they
would do anything that would in any
way injure the Shenandoah Valley
division of the N. & w. 1t is not APP
parent how this would happen, but it
might by such extension, SO it is not
in the least likely the B. & o. will ever
turn another shovel full of earth on
the abandoned line, unless something
unexpected should happen. The un-
expected does happen sometimes, even
with railroads. The Virginian railway
is a sample. This made several of them
get busy. We would like to call the
attention of our friends and neighbors
to one fact, very pertinent fact, and
that is, that persuasion and kindly
treatment, soft words and gratuitous
prospectus, never yet built railroad.
Railroad people are never moved that
way. The way to build railroad is
to declare the line located by the B. &
o. forfeited for non-user if it has not be-
come so, or start competing line over
the route,or make an electric line-that
is-do something hostile to their inter-
ests. The railroad corporations do
nothing by persuasion. Pressure is the
only element in nature that moves
them.
