To Carrv Bricks by Hand.

SO that the bricks are held firmly by
the jaws The clamp also has handle
by means OF which the load may be
picked up and carried about as one
would carry a dress suit case. The ad-
vantages of this device are several. In
the first place, 1t weighs much less than
hod and will carry more bricks. In
the second place. if the bricks are placed
in line by another man the carriers
can fill their clamps more rapidly, pro-
viding they will do SO. In the third
place. the workingmen need not bruise
and skin their hands by handling the
bricks. On building operations where
ladders must be climbed. however. the
hod appears to have an advantage, as
1t leaves both hands free.

an audience that filed every available

and an eminently generous one. for there

additional eclat to the occasion, but he

was a dazzling one. and it doubtless in

THE MFE's OPPORTUNITY.

1t is just at this time. however. that
he needs the tender care and solicitude
Of wife, and the soothing influence of
home, whether he appears to respond
to the same or not. No true wife will
seek to separate herself from her hus-
band in such crisis. 1t is her golden
opportunity, if she but knew it; and by
the display Of little common sense and
tact, she may lay up treasures for her
self more beautiful and potent for
future use than ever were dreamed for
in her wifely philosophy.
Wives, bear patiently with your hus-
bands through the trying baseball
season. Humor them; let their whims
have full sway-just as you would treat
ordinary lunatics. you know. They
will come to their senses when the
leaves begins to turn, and they will ap-
preciate the sweetness and patience
that characterized your conduct during
the good old summer time, and will re-
ward you most generously. Washing

ONLY RETAINED BY READJUsTERs

Nottoway by Democratic Legislature

was instituted. In 1878, at the request
of the white people of Nottoway county
and against my own wishes, was re-
elected, although had voted against
the Readjusters and with the Demo-
Gratis at the previous election. This
was so weilknown that both the senator
and the delegate from Nottoway, who
were Readjusters. refused to present
my name before the joint session of the
Legislature, and an outside member
had to be called upon. At the same
time I was reelected in 1873. sixteen
other Democratic judges were re-
elected, three of them being from the
Fourth district, where Readjuster ma
terial was very scarce. At the next
election of judges. in 1895. 1 was again
reelected by Democratic Legislature;
and in 1881 declined to be a candidate

CAUSE OF JAMESTOWN FIZZLE.
[Westmoreland Inquirer


The ridicule into which the guberna-
torial campaign of Virginia has fallen
by the persistent efforts of Mr.. Tucker
for joint debates. should be convincing
enough that if he becomes the Governor
of Virginia that high Office is liable to
become subject of ridicule under his
regime-in other words, more Of q
social function than an executive head.
We draw our conclusions from the ride
ulous occurrence that happened at the
entertaining of nobility at the James
town Exposition, and the episode be-
tween him and Mr.. Barr. In our
opinion, that social squabble was uncal-
ledfor. 1t showed on its surface lack
of genuine courtesy on the part of
some one towards the practical man
who undertook to see that the different
departments were managed properly.
AS far as the majority of the people
know, MIR. Barr's record was equal that
of Mr.. Tucker from a social and moral
standpoint, and far superior to the lat
ter practically, since Mr.. Tucker is re-
lieved of the responsibility of its success
or failure. Mr.. Barr, recognizing that
the Exposition was used as a socia
boaster for its recognized head. soor
rendered his resignation, with the re-
suits that later followed.

THE ORGANIZATION,
Petersburg Index-Appeall


The lndex-Appeal is not of that class
which carries the banner of the Demo-
cratic party in one hand and dagger
for the organization in the other 4
There is much disparaging talk now
adays about what is called the organiza.
ton in the Democratic party, by which
is meant the State Committee, the
Governor, members of Congress, and,
to a greater or less extent, members of
the Legislature. These men are elected,
directly or Indirectly, by the Democratic
voters Of the State. and we know of no
instance In which they have betrayed
the representative trust confided to
them, or are in any way unworthy of
that trust. The head and front of their
offending, so far as it has transpired
In the arraignment of the so-called or
ganization, is that majority of these
representative Democrats favor the
nomination of Judge Mann as the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor. Is it a
crime to support man for high Office
who has been an unfaltering Democrat
all his life. who is in every respect
eminently qualified for the honor, and
who, with the possible exception of
John w. Daniel. has made more public
speeches for the Democratic party of
Virginia than any other man living? Is
it contended that Democrats forfeit
their right as voters when they accept
honors at the hands Of the people as
State Committeeman, as Governor, as
Legislators and as congressman? II so.
then these honors are conferred at too
great a sacrifice on the part of their
recipients.
But there is no such forfeiture on
their part, and the attempt to belittle
the Democratic organization as sort
Of close corporation designed to promote
the selfish greed of its members is as
false In its purpose as it is contemptible
in its execution. 1t is the work of
cheap demagogues baffied in their am
bition to be the organization themselves,
and who are now steadily contriving to
that end. The Index-Appeal is not
ashamed to be for the Democratic
organization of Virginia, and SO long as
it is as capable and as clean as it is
now. it will support that organization
to the uttermost of its strength.
