One of the Independents readers, who sign him.
self an "Independent Republican," writes very
pleasing article, on the Pree Pass, which we pro-
duce in this issue We say it's pleasing article for
our readers, meaning of course those readers who
like fair play. OF course the politicians and those
senators who were responsible for the killing OF
the BILL would little rather that such writer's as
the "Independent Republican" would forget to call
attention to the history of the White Bill which was
killed bv the senate notwithstanding ha there was
a cry from among the voters. In all parts of the
state away with the Free Passes" The "1ndepen-
dent Republican" has shown that he is keen judge
of human nature. 1t is especially amusing where
he writes of the legislator excusing himself just be-
fore the conductor arrives and seeks the observa-
ton car there to produce his pass The article IS
good reading. Preserve it, for future reference

The herd law question in Ward county is not
very generally understood, Notwithstanding that
this has been threshed out in the paper once or
twice already. Altho the voters intended to vote
down the allowing of stock to at large, in all
months of the year. and Former County Auditor
Fabrck certified to the Secretary Of State that the
voters did vote to do away with the running of
stock at large, yet it is quite likely that if the
were carried up to the supreme court of the state
that body would find that the law in Ward county
remains just it did before the vote taken
At least this is the belief of the present county
auditor l.. A Larson and he has given the matter
a good deal of study When Fabrick prepared the
ballots, he had them printed "For abOlishing the
herd law" and Against Aboshing the herd law
Now any reasoning man can see that the voters did
not intend to vote to abolish the herd law entirely
but merely abolish that portion of it, which allow
ed stock to nat large during certain months in
the year, from December till April, believe
What Fabrick should have prepared ballots
marked: For stock running at large" and Against
stock running at large" Now don't want to be
responsible for getting any into trouble. We
think that it would be good thing if the PROPOSE
ton had carried, and rather hope that if any
is ever brot before the supreme court that this is
the way that the court will construe the point but
seriously, we don't how that body do it.
Law or no law, it is better to keep your stock up
for you will only make bad friends by not doing

SWANSON'S FUTURE.

Governor Swanson will soon have to
step down and out and the political
prophets are busy guessing what he
will do. He is too young a man to es-
chew politics, indeed politics has been
his meat and bread for the last twelve
or more years. The jamestown exhi-
bition and other public functions has
given him rare opportunities to appear
before the public, he has not failed to
avail himself of these opportunities.
He is fluent speaker and as such has
been frequently in demand and has &C.
quilted himself well on all public occa-
siOns. 1t is reasonable to suppose that
he will not long remain in retirement
but may feel constrained to try to save
the Fifth district to the democrats which
was nearly lost by Judge Saunders. =
Bedford Democrat.

WHARTON GROVE CAMP.
Most Interesting And Enjoyable
Season Ever Held.

The ten-days' encampment at beauti-
full Wharton Grove, this county, closes
next Monday morning. We are not
dealing in superlatives, but dare assert
that no meeting here has ever held
more intereft to our people or will re-
suit in more lasting good.
The weather could not have been
improved 'upon-clear, and as a rule
cool and pleasant; the crowds probably
the largest, and the preaching and
singing excellent. On Sunday $500
tickets Were dis tiDuteI on the wharf.
and fair estimate would place the at
tendance at five or six Thousand. We
hIcles lined the roads, and the dock was
crowded with crafts of every descrip-
ton and size. Fish steamers from Reed
vile and Crisfeld brought crowds, and
the Mobjack from Norfolk landed SOC
excursionists. The attendance next
Sunday, it is predicted, will even exceed
last Sundays, and the management is
making ample preparations.
Our people have been most highly
favored in having the loved evangelist,
DR.. II. M. Wharton, supported by the
eloquent Dr.. Chas. Lincoln Jackson, of
Philadelphia, and the Messrs. j. M. and
N. b. Broughton. of Raleigh, N. c.,
Rev. A. B. Dunaway, ID. D.. Rev.
Bailey Sanford, of Newport News. and
Revs. Claybrook, Hall and Default and
other local divines. These devoted
ministers of God are striking telling
blows for Christ's Kingdom and endear-
ing our people to their individual per-
sonalities. DIR. Harrison, leader of
Brantiey choir. is managing the sing ing.
Albany Smith, son of Gypsy" Smith,
is expected today to assist, as will also
a cornetist.
The morning service is usually con-
Quoted by DR.. Dunaway and dedicated
mostly to undenominational Sunday
school work; the afternoon services by
DR.. Wharton. and the evening services
by DR.. Jackson. These are aided by
the other ministers.
The day of most interest was yester-
day Thursday. Sunday School Chill
dren's Day. There were from three to
FIVE hundred children lined up at the
services, engaging in recitations. solos
and whistle songs. The sight was most
impressive. In the afternoon there was
kindergarten drill around the grounds,
the children bearing flags. Later they
were RECALLED by an Easter egg hunt
for oranges. hidden around the banks
of the river by DR.. Wharton and his
helpers, all the older heads joining in
the sport. gray heads glistening in the
rays of sunshine darting through the
verdant forest and mingling in search
with the brown and black and white
heads, of the younger folk. This was
toppt d off with a tub of lemonade for
the tots to wade into.
And went "merry as a marriage bell.

MONUMENT UNVEILED
With Pomp and Ceremony at
Tappahann0ck.

Wednesday, August Is. will be re-
membered and recorded as a red-letter
day in the history of this Rappahannock
section, for, possibly without exception,
the most interesting event of our time
occurred at Tappahsnnock, when the
handsome granite shaft, surmounted
with heroic figure of the Confederate
private, was unveiled to the admiring
gaze of four thousand onlookers. The
shaft was built by the o. j. Hammell
Co., of Pleasantville, N. ].
To the ladies' memorial association of
Essex, of which Mrs. T. r. b. Wright
is president, and to Judge Wright. one
due in the main credit for the consum-
nation of homework of years, and one
that for all time will adorn the pretty
town and county seat of Essex county.
Ladies and veterans without number
joined hands gladly with Judge and
Mrs Wright and share in the success
and plaudits.
The town was already well-filled with
people driving from the surrounding
counties when the screams of steam
launches began to be heard and throngs
began pouring in from down the river.
About $50 a. m. the Commodore
Maury" arrived. having on board Gen.
c. c. Vaughan, Major c. L. Wright
and Major Waring, of Norfolk, and
Company B., Captain Gale, command
ing; ,also Mrs. J. Griff Edwards and
fifteen of her uniformed choir girls, the
Morattico band, and many other ladies
and gentlemen. The appearance of the
soldiers in khaki uniform, marching up
the street and drilling, was greeted
with cheers, to be graced moment
later by the dofiing of all hats to the
choir in grey.
A cannon and caisson had been sent
from Norfolk, accompanied by Lieuten-
ant Shaw and detail of FIVE men.
At III a. m, a boom from this gun,
which shattered windows near by, the
veterans fell into line, followed by the
Confederate choir, the militia and the.
artillery, and marched to the shaft in
front of the courthouse; then to the 4
stand behind the courthouse, from
which Hon. J. N. Stubs, the eloquent
veteran, and Judge t. r. B. Wright, in
becoming modesty, addressed the
people. Hon. VIM. Campbell was direc-
tor of ceremonies. Between talks the
choir ladies' sang Bonnie Blue Flag and
Tenting Tonight. At this juncture
hand some gold-headed cane was pre-
scented Commander i. r. b. Wright
by his camp, coming as a surprise.
About ! p. m. all assembled around
the shaft, and as the veil was pulled
a volley went up from the rusty guns of
the old vets. followed by regular rat
tie of rifle in salute from the military.
Fl guns from the great cannon and a
salute from the Hotchkiss of the Com
modore Maury down at the pier. Mrs.
Edwards led off with her choir in the
soul-stirring strains of Dixie. The
Morattico band also struck up Dixie.
After dinner, which was served gratis
on the green. number of addresses
were made, among the speakers being
Governor Noel, of Mississippi, ex Gov
ernor Montague and Congressman Jones.
The afternoon was warm and the crowd
knocked around for shade and cool
drinks and many handshake renewed
acquaintance after the lapse of years.
The success and enjoyment of glorious
day was topped off at night by ball in
the town hall.
