If you will light cigar-being man

speak, will come to mind. Why should

Why should we have needless speech

Observation-Disclosures is to be presented
to the audience?
Why should women pay needless calls,
when both the visitor and visited regard
them as bore and q nuisance?
Why shoulda committee be appointed
TO wait on man who has been nor.ii-
for Office and notify him of fact which
he knew as soon as the committee

And why should an editor in weather

Mr.. CURLETT uCKs DEFAMER.

A communication to us bears the
information that one w. H. Rice, of
upper Lancaster, who has been allow
ing his name to be used over scurrilous
attacks on Representative John Curlett.
had an alteration at Wheaton with
Mr.. Curlett and got worsted until
Lewis, Landlord and others seized Mr..
Curlett. Indignation among the best
people is fairly portrayed by the fol-
lowing letter to us from a lady residing
at Wheaton:
Yesterday the author of the second
uncalled for and ungentlemanly attack
on Mr.. Curlett. published in the News
of two weeks ago and last week, came
to Wheaton again for the second
plaudit-from his friends of Well done,
good and faithful servant, but in their
concentrations they neglected one i'm
portant thing-they forgot to instruct
him regarding the rules contained in a
gentleman's code of honor, of which he
was ignorant. When Mr.. Curlett called
him out and asked him what he meant
by such insulting language, his reply
was, Anyway you choose to take it"
Now he says ne was not prepared for
the resentful blow that was instantly
flashed in his face. They should be
more careful of the safety of their
henchmen and teach them to throw up
a guard when they insult a gentleman. Z"

CLOVER SEED SCARCE.

Well known seed merchants report
that the crop of crimson clover seed all
over the world is almost total failure
this year. The vast growing sections
IN Europe were destroyed by seven
weeks OF drought and at the same time
the seed producing sections of this
country were deluged with rains when
the seed should have been harvested
and almost all the seed has been ruined.
There will not be enough seed to 90
round and as the great value of crimson
clover has become so much appreciated
by all progressive farmers. it would be
well to secure what seed one needs at
the earliestpossible opportunity, before
the great advance in prices that is bound
Co come.
Seed that could he bought in Europe
at w. 80 per bushel during MAY is held
now at $3.50 per bush,l.

JULY WEATHER.

The Fourth came duly to hand on the
third, as Sunday was Holy Day
(holiday). Hot it was and in earnest and
people in the cities roasted and broiled
and died of sunstroke and collapsed and
were taken to hospitals, and poor babies
died by scores in the narrow houses of
the narrow-streeted cities. But Satur-
day afternoon came a change and with
a small shower fall of tempera-
ture. The thermometer that marked 80
in the shade on Saturday afternoon on
Sunday morning at daylight stood at 60.
Folks who went to bed with sheet for
cover and that kicked down to the foot
of the couch, felt down for the sheet in
the middle of the night, later felt
about for the blanket that had been
discarded for weeks, covered up and
said it was cold. 1t was thirty-two
degrees lower in less than day. Tues
day an easterly rain set in, with cool
and delightful temperature-jIst the
rain needed.

The Washington Post discusses
Virginia roads, a subject Just now
at front on account of the pres
ence OF automobiles in the State.
What roads are in the South we
little means of knowing, but
those in Virginia, with the excep-
ton of a few in the Valley region,
are little better, so far as improve
ments goes, than the original cow
paths they followed. A northern
man who spent the time during
the Civil War in Maine states that
he used to wonder why the army
in Virginia did not move in win
ter, but that when he came to
Virginia he saw the reason-there
was only one way to move, that
was downward. The suggestion
OF Judge Mann in recent speech.
that cOnvicts be used in the stone
quarries of the mountains of Vir-
glnia, breaking stone for the roads
OF Underwater region, and that
such road material be trans
ported to the point of use free OF
cost, has the merit of novelty
and may prove a solution of our
question ofgood roads. We, in
our section, have no materials
for makingturnpikes McAdam
roads, as stone is the scarcest oI
our natural resources.

HOW TO KILL MOSQUITOES.

Take an ordinary backing box top
and an old broom-hand'r, saw off the
broom end of the handle. and nail the
top Of the box open side up on the end
OF the handle. Pour in the top little
coal oil. just enough not TO run. A few
drops is sufficient. Where you see a
mosquito on the ceiling or wall hold
this under him and he falls in almost
instantly. seemingly overcome by the
fumes, for the oil does not touch him at
all. The mere vapor is sufficient to
cause his fall into the skim of oil in the
top.
Mosquitoes have cunning way of
hiding. getting behind picture-frames
and such places. or in the chimney, if
the stove-pipe hole is left open. 1t IL
well to paste a sheet of paper over such
openings. and look behind pictures. etc.

The Culpeper Exponent of last week
contrasts the working of the machine, I"
in 1894, for Harry Tucker, with the
Organization" in 1909, alleged to be
for Judge Mann. The contrast shows
that. even if the Organization" were
otherwise than it is-passive, neutral
and impartiai-Mr Tucker is not the man
to cast the first stone. 1t would be only
necessary to call Jake Yost to the stand
to show that Mr.. Tucker is second to no
man in Virginia as a machine bene-
ficiary. -Index-Appeal.
And now comes Mr.. Harry st. Geo.
Tucker and informs the public in gen.
eral and Judge Mann in particular that
he was not responsible for the failure
of the jamestown Exposition, that he
had nothing to do with the finances of
the Exposition and that everything he
did turned out success. We fear that
Mr.. Tucker will have difficulty in win
ming many votes through his connection
with that Inflated enterprise. If we
remember correctly Mr.. Tucker tried
to be the whole Exposition and if there
was any failure connected with it he
should have the blame as undoubtedly
he would have taken the credit for its
success. Mr.. Tucker has demonstrated
that he lacks those qualities that fit
man to be an administrator of a large

against Mr.. Tucker seem well taken

AS has been the case for years. Irv-
ington had crowd of visitors TO its
blowout" on Saturday. More than
thousand visitors We're in attendance.
In the forenoon there was game of
ball between the home team and the
Tappahannock nine, resulting in a score
of 3 to2 for Irvington.
At noon dinner was served to a large
crowd, as hungry and as pleasantly dis
posed as such crowds usually are, and
vast amount of provisions was Of
fered up. The dinner was for the
benefit of the Village Improvement
Association. and the labor, falling on
the ladies of the village, was, as al
ways. gracefully and faithfully attended
to.
At 2 p. m a hundred motor craft.
loaded with spectators, went out to the
river to witness the race of work
launches of power under 20-horse. There
We're but two entries, Lee Simmons, of
lrvington. and DR.. Rob Hoskins, of
Mathews. Mr.. Simmons had won the
fifty-dollar cup two years in succession,
defeating DIR. Hoskins last year; but
this year the cup went to the Mathews
man by few boat lengths. The race
of ten miles was close, and exciting
from start to finish. Dr. Hoskins is game.
and worthy winner, as he has made
two previous attempts for the handsome
cup. Mr.. Simmons. it is due to say,
has put house on his launch for the
purpose of carrying the mails, and it is
safe to say but for this handicap he
could have won by close shave.
After the race second game of ball
between Tappahannock and Irvington
was never finished, much to the chagrin
of those paying the price and to the
modification Of Irvingtonians. Both
umpires left the field and refused to
continue the game. Aside from this
unpleasant circumstance, which SO often
attends games between amateur clubs,
everything went off beautifully,
The browning event of the day was
"A Carnival of Nations" st night. 1t
was held in the Opera House and wit
messed by between six and seven hundred
people. A hundred or more were turned
away. On Monday night the play was
repeated to comfortably seated house,

On both occasions it went off without
hitch Fifty-seven young people of
lrvington participated, representing the

habits. All were reviewed by the God

received so large an audience or as

burg, is due the get up and manage
ment OF the whole affair, and her great
effort was rewarded by an outpouring
of compliments from ali who were for
tunate enough to witness the Carnival
Altogether. Irvington's Fourth was, if
not glorious, at least pleasantly spent,
and no one but seemed pleased and
satisfied. Even the departure of the
cup to another county was looked on
somewhat complacently, as all who
know our boat-racing abilities feel sure
that another year will bring the prize
back to our possession.

WHILE looking up MIR. Curlett's
record on the menhaden fish
matter the eager critics fail to
state that the first draft of the
bill was in the revised laws pre-
sented by the Board of Fisheries.
which laws Mr.. Curlett vigorously
fought for, had recommended by
his committee and supported on
the floor of the House. The non
resident bills, which Mr.. Curlett
did support, to our personal
knowledge, notwithstanding mis-
representations by his enemies.
were practically the same as the
Boards recommendations, with
application to be made to Circuit
court added. In the light of
recent events it might have been
better for the menhaden people
to have taken the Boards draft
OF the nonresident features.
