THE CAMPAIGN WARMING
UP

AS the gubernatorial campaign
draws to q close more interest
seems manifest. Both Democratic
and Republican speakers are stump
ing the State, and in some instances
joint discussions are being held, to
the enjoyment of those in atten-
dance, If not to the edification of the
public. Nor is the result vote
getting proposition. 1t stimulates
the voters, however. and that puts
a certain amount OF ginger into the
campaign.
Judge Mann is conducting dig
ni6ed and aggressive campaign,
and the differences between him and
his formidable opponent before the
Democratic primary, Hon. 81. st.
George Tucker, have been laid
aside, and Mr.. Tucker himself is
doing valiant service for the ticke'.
Other Democratic speakers are in
the field.
The following is the Democratic
ticket that all Democrats can sup
port.

TIMBER RIDGE, Oct. 9.-Mr. and

curves at the speed of the Valley
F. F. v" was the novel but thor
onghly enjoyable experience of your
correspondent and party last week.
The trip clearly demonstrated one
fact to me, that horses are fast be-
coming accustomed to the horseless
carriage. With considerate driv-
err this m9chine need not be men,
ace to any one. One who has never
taken o trip of this kind cannot
imagine how exhilarating it is. The
blood seems to speed through the
veins as if racing with the powerful
little engine as it whirls the pneu-
matte tires over dust and rock.
With a few little repairs now and
then just to give an incite to auto
MODELLING, there was nothing to mar
the exquisite pleasure of our trip,
and we are under many obligations
to the kindness and generosity of
the geniel "Supt. of the County
Farm"
We are also obligated to our
"nervy driver" who gave us good
many exhibitions Of the "Broncho"
activity of his excellent machine in
landing fairly in the road, after
leaping little bridge distractions
that got suddenly in the way, when
coasting down some of the long
beautiful tempting grades
1t is sale If one who is prejudiced
against the auto, will only take a
ride in one, afterwards he will be
its friend. l believe this will prove
to be true in many cases.

Annual Report OF the President
to the u. ID. c.

Annual Report OF the President
to the u. ID. G.
Mrs. G. B. Tate, president of the
Virginia Division of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, sub
mitted the following annual report
to the U. D. G. Convention in Lex
ington last Thursday night:
During the past year Virginia
Division has experienced the great
est distress in its history, namely,
the loss of nearly seven hundred
dollars, through the failure of the
bank in which the deposit was made.
No blame can be attached to our
treasurer, and we extend to her our
sincere sympathy.
''Dispite this blow, the Division
is still in the forefront, enthused as
never before, and seemingly strong
er and more determined to be second
to none in our great organization.
MY letter of September l, calling
on fourteen chapters who had al
ready paid their U. D. G. tax to pay
it again, was to some minds strange
request; it was a bold one, | admit,
and yet the promptness with which
the chapters have responded has
greatly lessened the amount OF the
U. D. G. tax due the treasurer gen.
eral. The slow chapters feeling so
much depended on them, have res
pended nobly, and l believe this
will be our best year in the payment
of taxes.
I'VE have added to our enroll
ment 608 new members, making a
total of about 6 600. I have written
], 005 letters, 3O8 postals, signed 100
certificates of membership. and Sc
cured charters for five new chap
tiers, namely, Washington and Lee
of Westmoreland, Dinah Mills Hol-
ton, Danville, Stuart and Wharton.
The assistance given these new chap
ters has been great pleasure to me,
and just here let me say that l have
been impressed with the necessity
Of some printed instructions for the
guidance of those organizing new
chapters. The third vice. president,
whose duty it is to look after this
work, cannot always be present,
and it is imperative that these helps
be furnished them.
1.-THE systematic, faithful work OF
our officers has put the Division on
, fine working plane. Our chapters
ire more law-abiding, because they
understand more clearly what is re-
luired of them.
Without going int? the merits or
lemerits OF the Boysen essay, it is
sufficient to say that that paper,
With it's baleful train of evils, was
,ut the outcome of a pc icy the wis
lon OF which was questioned when
irst suggested. The remedy is the
1ecinatio on OF the Columbia College
and he abolition OF the
,rize essay. or the limiting of the
'ffer to Southern colleges.
