BORING FOR Oil IN VALLEY

Workmen are engaged at Stokes
Vile, Augusta county, iii boring for
oil under the direction Of Mr..
Stokes, who holds q controlling in
terest in the Chesapeake Western
Railroad, and who owns land
around Stokesville.
An SOO-foot hole has been drilled,
and the first effort to find oil was
was made when the hole was charg-
ed with 600 pounds of dynamite,
which was exploded by electricity.
As yet no oil product has been dis
covered, but it is believed that oil
or gas will soon be located, as the
valley has long been thought to be
in the oil belt.

tor in accepting four per cent as
YOUR dividend while the others took
eight per cent? There you have the
situation in a nutshell.
There is a glorious opportunity
ahead of the Democracy. Inc great
middIe-West has awakened to the
inequalities of the tariff, Inc
states represented by the insurgent
Republicans, and they are Repub-
llicans who have read the handwrl-
ting on the wall, are for uniform
tariff. They hold the balance OF
powerin the next Congressional and
Presidential campaigns. They
want fair tariff. Let the Democ-
racy stand for the sort of tariff that
has characterized the Democracy
! for more than half a century, and
| it will sweep the country three
years hence.
Why cannot the Democrats stand
together for low tariff on all pro-
ducts, and for all sections alike,
just as the Republicans stand for q
hiph one. The PrOtectiOnist in
sists on symetrical protection or
none; is it not proper that the DEM
ocrats should insist on symetric-
al low tariff. Why should any man
agree to hodge-podge conglomer-
alton of tariff that is high to a
part of the people and low to the
other part. Is it fair? is it sensi-
BILE; is it at all promotive Of the
ultimate aim?
The best way for the South to
secure a low tariff is for our states
men to insist, first, last and all time,
that whatever sort of tariff the coun-
try shall have it must be equltably
apportioned, doing even justice to
all sections. Let them stand for q
revenue tariff as final aim, but
whenever that is impossible then
insist on a tariff affecting all Sec
tons alike.
New England has fine time OF
it, she Ievies robbery rates on ev-
efything she sell, and by the vote
of Southerners she puts free trade
on everything she buys. 1t is just
the size she wants. Beware OF her
when she tries to make our repre-
sentatives stand for free trade by
charges of Inconsistency.

AN INDIAN MURDERER.
His Fearful Punishment by Primitive
Mexican Tribe.

speaklng of primitive law among
tbe Mexican Indians brings to mind a
crr,ous case that was told me some
years ago IN the state OF Oaxaca by an
old Zapoteca chief who had become a
convert to Christianity.
He said that long while ago an
American botanist was travelling
through the mountains of Oaxaca
studying the rare and beautiful fora
of that region. He had with him
mozo from another part of the coun-
try.
He carried several gold pieces sewed
In the lining Of his jacket, The mozo
became aware of that faS, and one
day when the botanist got down on big
Knees to drink at little spring the
mozo cut his head off with machete,
took the gold pieces and fed to the
higher sierras.
Not long after the body was found
By some Zapoteca Indians who had
seen the botanist In former days
studying the flowers and plants near
their village. They knew that he was
harmless and good man because he
loved flowers. All Mexican Indians
love flowers. So they took the body to
the chief and told him what they had
seen and found. what" he said.
"Shall the kind stranger with the
white face who loved flowers and
sought not our goods nor insulted our
women come 70 such dogs death
among us and not be avenged"
He then dispatched four swift In
dian runners In different directions
with orders not to return without the
murderer. After a weeks time they
returned bearing the malefactOr bound
In their midst. council Of old men
was called. and the case was exam
lned. The guilt Of the mOzo was prov
ed. as he still had with him the strange
pieces Of gold.
Then the old chief gave the SEN
tence. 1t was speedily performed.
They led the trembling murderer to
the center Of the little plaza. There
four green stakes were driven In the
ground. The murderer was stripped
naked and stretched by the wrists and
feet in the air among the four stakes,
to which he was dashed. Then the In
dams made a great heap Of unslaked
lime under the wretched mans body.
and when the heap touched his breast
and sides they poured water over 1t
until the scalding steam Of the burn
ing lime had cooked all the flesh from
the bones. Then they took the bones
and threw them into hole on the
mountain side.
And so was the stain OF the MUIR
dered mans blood covered and venge-
ance was wrought by the Indians In
behalf Of 1.-THE white stranger who was
good and loved flowers" Mexican Ex-

FLINT AND FINDER.

Had Matches.

Making Fire In the Days Before We
Had Matches.
A friend Of mine Of just my age used
to laugh about his own boyhood and
tell the story Of his mother shaking
him IN bed and bidding him put on his
boots when he dressed and his over
coat and wade through the SHOW to
the next neighbours to get pan OF hot
Goals with which to make the fire.
suppose JCe's mother had lost her
flint. We kept our flint and what was
called 1.-The steeP' In round tin box
such as would hold quart OF straw
berries now, and II was on the man
telpiece In the kitchen. 1t was half
full Of finder. Half The boys ana girls
Of today do not know what finder Is
or was.
Now. whoever was in the Kitchen In
the morning and found that the last
hot coal Of the wood fire had gone out
took down the finder box and struck
the steel with the flint smartly and Of
ten until q rpdhOt spark fell on the
finder; then very carefully she blew
with her breath on any flakes or the
finder which had lighted until she had
quite Il little cove Of lighted finder.
Then she took what we called brlm'
stone match and put that very care
fully In the little hot hole. II Gil
things worked well. the birthstone
lighted and the wood Of the match
lighted. and she lighted the CANDLE
which made n part Of the finder box.
Oh. dear. There were thousands OF
finder boxes IN little Boston the day
was born, and few years ago tried
to buy one as curiosity, and | could
not find one In any Of the junkshops.
In those days old women would stop
at the door and ask you to buy some
bundles Of matches. They had made
these themselves Of pine wood four
inches long. which they had dipped In
hot birthstone Mt both ends. And those
were the only matches that anybody
ever heard of.-Woman's Home Com

Aluaxs Dreaded the 18th.

Most dismal Of all men Off the stage
was Grimaldi, the clown. and his
father fathered him. He had that
curious dread Of n certain date which
assails SO many. The elder Grimaldi
hated the 14th of the month, and when
It was passed he regarded himself as
safe until the next. He was born,
cbristened and married on the 14th
of the month, and, being disseminated
with all three events, we will hope his
death on March IA, 1888, satisfied him.
