PICAYUNE CANARDS.

Therecomes through the "wet"
daily press reputed assembly
of liquor dealers in Washington
conference looking to the interests
of Judge Mann. The Tucker peo-
pie claim the liquor vote of Rich
mond for him; in Norfolk they
say it is for Mann. Here at home
we know that every liquor leader
is whooping for Tucker.
There is no more truth in the
Washington story sent out by
fuckers paid bureau than there
was in the one which said Senator
Lesner and fourteen other State
Senators had assembled and
decreed that there should be no
temperance legislation next SEES
sion. Artful Tucker campaigners
got up the story and some fool
scribblers in certain local papers
grabbed at the morsel. There
were temperance men and Sena-
tors in the party, and all DENY
that any allusion whatever was
made to temperance legislation.

THE LEAGUE VERSUS TUCKER.

The Anti-Saloon League.
through it's President Atkins, has
sent to candidates certain queries
as to their position. This is fol-
lowing their policy of some years.
Judge Mann answered promptly
and from the shoulder. Mr..
Tucker delayed quite n while, and
when he did answer lodged some
of the issues and launched into
abuse of the League. In reply to
this, officials of the League
roasted him.
From the published correspon-
dence temperance people can have
no utilization with Candidate
Tucker. We knew all along that
his so-called local option views
were from policy and not from
the heart. Refusing to vote twice
when he had u chance in local
option elections (Once when he
was a resident of Lexington and
once when a resident ofStaunton)
and voting against temperance
bills on the only two occasions
Offering when III Congress, he can
not consistently be supported by
temperance people.

CAUTION DEMOCRATS
Editorial Blackstone Courier. |

In view of the publication of the Ma
hone letters and the misleading con-
struction attempted to be placed upon
them, and of the nature of the cam.
paign that has been conducted against
Judge Mann, we want to warn the
Democrats of Virginia to beware of
false charges that may be made on the
eve of the primary, when it is too late
for him to have an opportunity to reply.
There is every reason to believe that
such attacks are in contemplation. At
Boydton, it will be remembered, Mr..
Tucker made his attack when it was
too late for Judge Mann to reply. Judge
Mann has refrained from discussing
Mr.. Tucker or his record. except in his
own defence. and in answer to the lat
ter's charges and claims, and he has
assured the public that if he has any
charges to make Mr.. Tucker will have
the fullest opportunity to answer them.
The fact that charge is made when
it is too late for reply should stamp
the charge as false, and we therefore
warn the people of Virginia to beware.

OYSTERS DESTROYED.

Investigations made by persons who
have oysters planted in the Eastern
Branch of the COrrotoman River have
revealed the fact that the heavy rain
fall in June and the consequent break
ing of two large mill dams, have killed
nearly all the oysters in the upper part
of these waters. The immense guam
tity of fresh water from the millponds,
with the mud and silt brought down
with it, either killed or ruined the
oysters. Captain Davis lost nearly
1900 bushels of oysters in this way. and
some of his neighbors Jared not much
better.

MANN GAINING STRENGTH.
[Emporia Independent, anti-Mann-


Judge William Hodges Mann, of
Nottoway county, candidate for COVER
nor of Virginia, is rapidly gaining
strength in Southside Virginia. Thirty
days ago it was admitted on all sides,
even by the most ardent supporters of
the Nottoway candidate that Mr.. Tuck
er's following in this section of the
State was partially fifty per cent
greater than that of Judge Mann, but
within the last few weeks a growing
sentiment in favor of Mr.. fuckers OBJ
ponent has percolated to the surface
that should it continue, by the time the
August primary is here the conditions
will most likely be reversed.
The so-called political machine of
Virginia is going to give its majority
support to Judge Mann. reports to the
contrary notwithstanding.

now enter my protest under the fol-
lowing:
Primary Law: All white Democrats
who are, or will be, legal voters at the
election at which the General Assembly

NAUSEA OF THE PRIMARY

The Malone letters are a
boomerang and the Tucker man
ayers are throwing the mistake
of their publication on other
shoulders now. These, showing
Mann the friend of Malone while
the latter was yet a Democrat.
and when other great and good
Virginia Democrats were Malone
men, are contrasted with the
action of Mr.. Tucker Through
friends, he now says) in asking a
Federal Judgeship of Republican
Roosevelt, have redounded to
the credit of Judge Mann. The
whole conduct of the primary
campaign is pie for the Republi-
cans and sickening to Democrats,
but-"who flung dat las brick
fust."

JOHN GOODE.
IThursday's Timea-Dispatch.l


John Goode was the last of Virginia
ante-bellum statesmen. 1t may be
truly said that his death yesterday
marked the end of an era.
Mr.. Goode began his political career
When Joseph Johnston was Governor
and when Franklin Pierce was Presi-
dent. r. M. t. Hunter, James M.
Mason. William c. Rives, John Tyler.
Henry A. Wise and others of Virginia s
great men were the political friends
of his early years. He lived to see
all of these men die. and to be the last
Surviving member of the Secession Con-
vention and of the Confederate Con-
gress.
In point of prominence and of real
service to his State. John Goode will
rank high. He declined to be candi-
date for Governor or for United States
Senator. but he held almost every other
high Office in the gift of the people
AS member of the General Assembly,
as q leader in the Secession Convention
and as a representative in the Congress
of the Confederacy and of the United
States, he stood with the foremost.
No one was more anxious to see Vir-
ginia leave the Union than ne was,
when he realized that there were NO
prospects of peace in 1861, and no one
accepted the results of the war with
greater fortitude. 1t is not generally
known that he was the originator OF
plan to remove the capital of the Con-
federacy from Montgomery to Rich
mond.

OYSTER PUBLICITY.
Newspapers And Scientists Have
Done And May Continue To Do
Great DAMAGE.
IFrOm Norfolk Landmark.I

The purity of Virginia oysters was
discussed at length at the regular
monthly meeting of the State fish COM
mission held in Hampton.
Reports will be issued by the commits
sion which will show that all the oyster
producing grounds in this state are 10
Gated in waters proven to be uncon-
taminated. These reports will be
based upon Investigations made under
direction of the commission last spring.
Fish Commissioners w. Mcdonald
Lee said that Virginia oysters are
rated higher for cleanliness than
oysters tonged in the waters of any
other Atlantic coast state.
Commissioner Lee declares that the
report circulated last spring that some
oysters were taken from contaminated
waters and the subsequent full and
careful investigation would prove a
stimulant to the trade in this section.
Virginia bivalves are given a clean bill
OF health after thorough investigation
and the consumer will prefer to pur-
chase those which have been tested
rather than those which have under
gone no such investigation.
Another matter discussed by the
commission was the restocking of the
barren rocks in James river.
From Hampton Monitor.l
The investigation of the oysters has
hRRn carriad FOO Co. - 49,
the state authorities. If a committee
of scientists would go through the land
making fly-speck investigation with
test tube in one hand and a baccilli
microscope in the other. nearly every
thing that man ate would soon be
placed under the ban. 1t would be
found that the pigs, chickens and
ducks were swallowing baccillissimae
by the handouts. Chewing plug to-
bacco would become hanging offense
and the tomato factories in the state
would be dynamited. The handmade
cigar, sealed with saliva, would be-
come so rare that it would be exhibited
as curiosity. Diaries, bakeries, no
tel kitchens, food factories of all kinds
would fare badly with the microscope
turned on.
Under recent reports on the Virginia
oyster we fancy they would give a
man anything from tootbache to a case
of appendicitis, when, as matter of
fact we doubt extremely if there has
been single ailment caused by the
oyster. But even granting, as we are
willing to do, that certain portions of
rivers or creeks near thick population
should be under the prohibition of TAX
ing oysters out. the thing has been ov-
erdone to the extent that the oyster
business in this state has been serious
Iy crippled. An article from someone
who knew very little about the matter,
published in a Virginia daily. is said
to have been circulated so religiously
through the North and West by COM
petitor oystermen that the trade last
winter was crippled to the extent of a
million and half of dollars.

GULF STORM RAGING.

A severe tropical storm is reported at
Galveston with the wind 60 miles an
hour and the water feet deep in the
streets. Telegraph communication is
cut off and no news as to recent con-

counts the water was over the sea wall
constructed some years ago and which
was supposed to prevent future inunda-

brought out by certain powers in the
hope of splitting Lee. A pretty condi-

Over 100000 of Silver.
Lead Ore Blocked
Out in Mine.

THE mining property owned
i by the Douglas Mining and
Reduction Company, commonly
known as the Winters mine, WAS
bonded last week to the Spreckes
Sugar Lime Rock company of San
Francisco, for 100000, $4,000 Of
which is to be paid at the expira-
ton OF sixty days and the balance
within tive months.
During last week the purchasers
had their mining enA ineer on the
ground and it WAS upon his report
that the property was accepted at
the above figures. However IN a
deal OF this magnitude, mining
companies are not letting go OF
large sums without first knowing
something of the property before
they purchase, and Immediately
after their engineer had accepted
the property, members OF the COM
pany who were in Gardnervill.,
cabled their expert, who at this
tune Is England, and he is expect
sd TO arrive here in about eighteen
days 10 check up on the report al.
ready made.
The property consists of 2oo
aces OF ground lying just over the
summit of the Pine Nut range and
about eighteen miles from Gard
neryille. One claim on the Silver
Lake Lode AMI known az the
Winters mine, was patented IN
1872, and was at that time worked

for long term of years, and up to
some eight years ago, the mine had
remained idle, at that time be-
coming the property # the Jessen

OF the original owners. Tney took
the work up with great aggressive

as we'll as labratory and assay
office.
In 1903 the company put the
plant In operation, and We are
told on ore that had been sorted
twice, with the result that three
bars of bullion valued at $1400
was extracted after a short run,
one bar being taken from the last
tank and just when the plant
was in satisfactory operation and
saving all values.
Atthis point and just when the
property was about to become a
producer and dividend payer to
the stockholders, a split in COM
pany occurred and was followed
by complete shut down which
has practically continued since
that time. Some little work has
been done on copper vein that is
on the compaHy's ground but no
attempt has been made to extract
any bullion.
A great amount of wsrk has
been done in the Winters mine
where between 5000 and 4 900 feet
of tunnel workings expose vast
bodies OF excellent silver-lead ore.
There are four tunnel levels, and
On the three upper ones, engineers
estimate that $4,000 tons valued at
100000 await to be reduced to
bullion. These figures were made
from a general average of assays
under $50, all assays above $50
not being considered.
On the lower level of the mine,
engineers claim that the rich
Silver Lake lode has not been en-
countered, but in its stead a gold
