is connected with the court circle is eagerly and
anxiously awaiting the appearance Of the me-
moirs Of Mrs. Langtry, the Jersey Lily, who
promises to tell the world frankly what she

A LEADING EDUCATOR

Hon. James Yadkin Joyner, state superin-
tendent of public instruction in North Carolina,
who is the new president of the National Educa-
tional association, is doing as grand a work in
aiding to bring the blessings of education to the
poor whites Of the south as Booker T. Washing
ton is among the blacks.

Carolina in 1884, Mr.. Joyner Immediately entered
upon the profession of teaching and for several
years was superintendent of La Grange academy
and superintendent of schools in Lenoir county,

Mr.. GTigSby for Delegate.

EEIIOR COURIER.
We are informed through the columns
of your paper that it is about time the
people Of Clarke and Warren counties
selected someone for their next Delegate
In the Legislature, and, we are informed.
Warren will step gracefully aside and
let Clarke name the man. Just as we did
when Warren wanted Hon. VI. VI. John
son.
We therefore believe that Clarke
should present man thoroughly familiar
with the local conditions of the two
counties and also a man that can show
deeds 10 back up his words and not
stand upon a platform of promises alone.
such man we can present, if he can
be induced 20 leave his farm and repre-
sent Us In the next legislature. He is
progressive as we'll as safely conserva-
tive. and viii not allow himself to be
dictated 20 by any clique or ring. and
can DE counted upon at all times to stand
for the best interests Of all the people of
+ Clarke and Warren. and not for a select
few.
Such man we have in Supervisor
/ Ralph Grigsby, a son of the late Capt.
Randolph Grissby, who, when the Gov
ernor Of Virginia called for volunteers
in 1851. marched against the foe. He is
a.so nephew of Hon. John Alexander
/ OF Leeslurg, and also Of Hon. William
/ Alexander, of Winchester, with whom
he was connected in the law practice FOL
81 number of years.
Ia Mr.. Grigsby we would have mar
who would represent all the people, anC
his constituents would be well satisfied
with his course in the next Legislature
, Let Us nominate him.

Thunder and Lightning Early.

Probably the earliest thunder
storm, accompanied by Brilliant
lightning, which has been witness
ed here in many years, passed over
Berryville from the southwest to
to northeast last Sunday afternoon
shortly after o'clock.
The thunder was apparently just
as heavy, and the lightning flashes
Just as vivid, as in midsummer.
The storm was also accompanied
by sharp rain and hail, but it i,
not thought that any damage was
done to crops, although number
of fruit trees through the County
are now in full bud.

cation, asking for the rel appointment of

the combination of Clarke with any

Clarke being a border county. (See Acts
OF 19OS)
superintendent Massey was an exper-
fenced teacher prior 20 his appointment
as Division superintendent, and is fully

BufOrd and Mann.

In the current number of the
Brunswick Gazette. MIR. T.. p.
Buford. editor OF that newspaper,
editorially replies TO Judge Mann's
statement of circumstances of the
Judge $ election to the state senate
in 1899. Mr.. Buford as an indie
pendent candidate opposed Judge
Mann, the regular democratic
nominee. As will be seen by Mr..
Buford's article. printed elsewhere,
the county of Brunswick gave
Buford 1879 majority and he car
ried Lunenburg by $50. After
these counties had been heard from
fully, Judge Mann's county of
NottOway reported majority for
the Judge of l,6SS. enough to wipe
out Buford's maiorities in the
other two counties. The night
after the returns were announced
tie Nottoway county poll books
diss ppcarcd myS,eriou>ly from the
clark's office az the courthouse
and they never have been heard
from since.
In view of these figures. it is
Instructive "a consider the United
States census returns for these
counties. made tie year after the
election IL 1900 the county of
Nottoway lad q total Of 2.6SS males
of voting aSe, l.2OS native white,
49, colorcd anu - foreign white.
- j: appears that In total posi-
Olc poll OF 2.66S with . ma iority of
200 colorod voters, presumably all
republicans, Judge Mann had a
majority OF less.
In the county of Brunswick
which gave Mr.. Buford a majority
Of ,l99, the males of voting age
numbered 500, l,S74 white, 2,13S
colored.
In the county of Lunenburg,
which gave Mr.. Buford a majority
of 100, the males OF voting AGE
were, 2,439, OF which 1882 were
colored, 1,lS7 white. 1t is worth
noting that in Lunenburg, the
county in which neither Of the
candidates lived. the majority for
Buford, independent candidate
correspondent closely with the
colored majority, while evidently
in Brunswick, Mr.. Buford's own
county, he polled 4 very consider
able white vote in addition to the
solid colored vote.
Probably this question of the
1899 election will figure more OF
less in the pending campaign
between Mr.. Tucker and Judge
Mann and therefore the figures as
given above will be found interest
ing if not Illuminating. Richmond
