ANOTHER RAILROAD TO COME NEAR

A meeting of Virginia, West Viz
ginia and Pennsylvania capitalists
was held here yesterday afternoon
at the Beverley hotel and a COM
pany organized for the purpose of
building a new railroad to extend
from Millboro to connect with tie
chesapeake & Western railroad at
MI. Scion, thus opening up, what
is said to be, one of the most Valu-
able sections of timber land in this
part of the county.
At the present time timber from
the Deerfeld section is hauled over
the mountain for a distance of ten
miles or more to Christians, a tedi-
us and expensive procedure. The
supply of lumber in the section is
said to be practically inexhausta-
bic and the advantages to be de-
rived from the proposed road would
be innumerable.
The better part of the afternoon
was spent in organizing the COM
pany and discussing plans of pro-
cedure, but as yet no specified time
has been set for the actual starting
of the work, though the road is
practically assured.
Hon. Jacob Yost, of Staunton,
presided at the meeting and Mr..
j. H. Blackman of Pennsylvans
was elected secretary. The others
present were Messrs. W. G. Craig,
of Deerfeld, j. H. West of Warren,
Pa, H. w. Walters of lrvington,
Pa, and Dudley, Bryan and Mack
lefresh of Parkersburg, W. Va,
and Judge L. c. Barley of Alexan-
dria and Mr.. c.. B. Williams of the

To the voters Of Highland county:
The undersigned chairman of the
Democratic party takes this oppor-
tunity to call the voters attention
to tht necessity of a full turnout
of voters at the primary to be held
on the 5th day of August, 1909,
When Highland and Bath were
tackled onto Rockbridge and Buena
Vista, the distinct understanding
was that Highland and Bath should
have the hoater delegate. Not
withstanding this understanding,
Buena Vista now has a candidate
in the field for the foater delegate
Rockbridge and the city of Bue-
ma ,'ista have a delegate to
themselves, and if Mr.. Paxton re-
ceives the nomination over Mr..
John W. Stephenson, Rockbridge
and Buena Vista will have two
delegates and Highland and Bath
will be virtually without represen-
tation.
In order to prevent this it is very
essential that our entire vote
should go to the polls and vote
solidly for Mr.. Stephenson.
Respectfully,
j. A. WHITELAW,
Chairman Democratic County
Committee.

commanding in the Valley of Vir-
ginia, was commissioned by thesec-
rotary of war for special duty on

Mr. Koiner's official record IS also be-

Board Ct Agriculture for years. The
Auditing Committee appointed by the
State Legislature to inspect the various
state departments, gave ''ceGn bills of
health" TO all exc pit commissioner of
agriculture, Geo w Koiner. 1t was es-
tablished by that report that MIR Koincr
had not obeyed or enforced the law gov
erning his department; that he rendered
incorrect statements TO the auditor; that
proper vouchers were not given for
money spent; that his financial reports
could not be verified; and that he had

claims in the present campaign the credit
of the Firtilizpr Bill, ia fact had nothing
to do with Its passage, but was III collision

These charges against Mr. Koiner have
been made by various gentlemen Of

in number of letters which can be had
by anyone upon application to SIR Brown
at Murphy's Hotel Richmond.
In view of these two records it would

JUDGE VIM. HODGES MANN.
(EDITORIAL-CREWE RECORD. J


Nottoway is offering Judge VIM.
Hodges Mann as her candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Gov

the people of Virginia what manner
Of Mann he is.
Judge Mann was born in Will
liamsburg in 1913. His father
died when he was an infant, and he
spent his early life in that historic
city with his mother, who in 1852
married again, and took young
Mann with her to her new home at
Brownsburg, Rockingham county.
There, Hodges attended the Browns
burg Academy and grew into a
sturdy boy of great independence
"a trait that has characterised his
whole life, At the age of fourteen
he started out to fight the battle of
life on his own responsibility, with
the clothes on his back and ten
dollars in his pocket, He has new
er been to school or college since
that time. The struggle at first
was hard, but he never called for
help. He educated himself, and
later, between the hours Of work,
read law, and was admitted to the
bar, the goal of his youthful ambi-

and one of the purest and best men.

On Duty

The following morning at the

ed to Winyard, with the intimaton
that the messenger was awaiting the
reply. The young man broke open
the envelope and read the fimsy pink
paper. 1t took him scarcely q couple
Of seconds to glance over 1t, and he
proceeded Immediately to fill in the
address in the reply form inclosed.
All at the table noticed that there was
no hesitation, no indecision in his
movements, and they remembered
that incident later. Then he added
the single word "Yes," and handed
the reply over his shoulder to the
servant.
May I trouble you for the JAM"
he said, with an impudent smile to-
ward Mrs. Wright; and 1t was only
after he had helped himself largely
to that condiment that he tossed the
telegram to his brother at the head
of the table. Life had, it seemed, for
him no earnest side at all.
The bite of toast which Mrs. Mist
ley had just placed between her
strong, short teeth tasted as no toast
had ever tasted to her before. 1t was
q peculiar mixture of Absolutely no
flavor and a nauseating bitterness.
She knew that this telegram was i'm
portant, and meant the end of these
happy days; all her five senses were
lost in one great throb of sad FORE
boding.
