In 1909 there was formed In Valladolid a
conspiracy which had for its object the assem-

the event that the mother country should fall
to the arms of the French which without
serious intention might probably lead to the
independence of the country. The uprising

but being discovered. all the conspirators were
imprisoned. However. there being but little
evidence against them. they were soon given
their liberty.
The conspiracy being suppressed in valla-
dolid, sprang up in Queretaro with renewed
strength Here it received protection from the
corregdor, or mayor of that city. who fur
nished many recruits, pending the time when
secret action would be longer necessary
At this time Hidalgo became enlisted In the
cause of the conspiracy; but 1t is not known
by what motives he was influenced He had
had numerous discussions with his friend Ig-
nacio Allende, regarding Independence but
with more serious object on his part than
pure argument and without thought of TAX
ing any active part in the movement Allende
however. was quick to interest himself in the
cause. although warned by Hidalgo that the
originators of such enterprises seldom enjoyed
the fruits of them. But In the month of Sep

Allende at Queretaro asking him to come to

home somewhat disgusted with his visit How
ever, another letter from Alende pictured the
state of affairs In such encouraging words that
he decided to give his time and energy to the
cause. He had made in the town rs lances
and placed himself in communication with the
drum major and two sergeants of the battalion
of Guanajuato in order that they might secure
some troop for the revolution. His efforts
considering the short time which he had were
most successful; but. unfortunately the con-
spiracy reached the ears of the authorities and
many were imprisoned. Hidalgo sent immed
ately for Allende who arrived In Dolores on
the night of September A. and the whole of
the next day was spent In conferences without
any decision being reached to the best
course to pursue.
Meanwhile josef Ortiz. the wife of the cor

in the revolutionary movement. sent a messen-

Weekly Automobile Trips to Garry
Customers to Lynchburg

A novel plan of bringing custom
ers to this city to buy their fall
goods has been hi5 upon by some
Of the wholesale houses. A big.
6-cylindered, 7-passenger Mitchell
touring car is to make weekly trips
between Ronceverte, W. Va, and
Lynchburg, bringing the merchants
from the territory between Staun-
ton, Va, and Charleston, W. Va,
here and taking them home after
they have made their purchases.
The first OF these trips was made
Monday, The start then was made
from Covington and the trip to this
city was negotiated in seven hours.
The trip is under the direction of
of Mr.. f. B. Albert, who travels for
a leading Lynchburg wholesale con-
Germ and whose territory is between
Staunton, Va, and Charleston, w.
Va. The chauffeur was u V. Mark

Richmond 1imes-Dispatch on the
V. M. l. Report

When President Taft was in Rich
mond last November be congratulate
ed the cadets of the Virginia Mill
tary Institute upon their fine mill
tary appearance, and remarked that
when he was Secretary OF War, I'VE
depended on the Virginia Military
Institute as one of the two great in
situations OF this country to furnish
officers trained and equipped to
lead our armies when the exigen-
cies and dangers OF war require US
to call men skilled in arms to the
defense of the nation" That was a
fine thing for the President to say,
but it was in no sense extravagant
praise, as the cadets of this great
institution have illustrated their
ability in the art of war and their
valor on many fields of carnage.
1t is little matter. We know, a
very little matter, but it is worth
noting that we have received the
annual report of the Institute for
the last session, and that it was
printed in Charlotte. North Caro-
lima. The school had very good
year and particularly admirable
corps of young men waiting upon
its instructions, the most of whom
were from Virginia, and all of whom
will make better and more useful
citizens because their training in
this school of the soldier Last year
the State of Virginia appropriated
SAC. 600 for the support of the Insti-
tute. That was a small amount, and
it might well have been dou bled, in
view of the good work the Institute
is doing for the State. We know
that the severest economy must be
practiced in the administration of
the school, but we submit that, all
things considered, the Institute
should have it's printing done in
Virginia, not in restraint of trade,

NEBRASKA CONVENTION
Mr.. Bryan Not Discredited BY
Democrats of Nebraska

The Nebraska Democratic State
Convention refused, by vote Of
SAT TO 1913, to endorse county option
and this has been heral6ed over the
country as a defeat for Mr.. Bryan.
Let all the facts be known: About
May Mr.. Bryan urged the calling
OF special session OF the Legisla-
ture to submit the initiative and
referendum. He stated that by the
submission OF the initiative and re-
ferendum the county option fight
could be postponed for two years.
He failed to secure the special ses-
sion. Then he announced himself
in favor of an endorsement OF coun-
ty option as the only way to break
the hold of the liquor interests and
insure the submission of the initia-
tive and referendum.
AS result OF his fight the Repub-
licans endorsed the initiative and
referendum, thus making it certain
that it will be submitted at the CON-
ing session of the Legislature (the
Democrats and Populists also hav-
ing endorsed it). This is o victory
for the reform for which he has con-
tended for fourteen years. He can
afford 70 be turned down on county
option il he can make sure OF the
initiative and referendum.
But the Democratic Convention
defeated, by a vote OF 533 to POP a
plank declaring against county OPP
ton and Governor Shallenberger
announced at the convention that
he would sign a county option bill.
Since the Republicans and Popu-
lists have declared for county op-
ton and the Democrats have re
fused TO declare against it the
chances are largely in favor of the
passage of a county option bill. 1t
viii be seen, therefore, that Mr..
Bryan has reason to rejoice over
the progress made in Nebraska
1t matters little what is done to him;
he can be happy SO long as the
things be is fighting for win-and
they are winning in Nebraska. The

Important Sale of Furnace Plants
in Rockbridge

An important sale was concluded
at Lexington on Tuesday of last

Special Master of the u. S. Circuit
Court for this District, and Messrs.

laney of Covington, D. c. T. Davis
of Charleston, and T. D. Ransom of
Staunton, counsel for parties inter
ested in the litigation Involving the

as the Edward Ore Land, also the
equity subject to an existing mort
gage in about 1900 acres in Allie
ghany, near Covington, known as
the Rich Patch Ore Land, and the
Elverton Gallery property in Fay

tensive improvements at these
plants there was also sold quaint.
ty of railway equipment. warehouse
supplies, etc. And limestone quar-
ries at Craigsville, Augusta county.
The properties went at the upset
biddings, aggregating $lS7, 500 and
the purchaser was The Goshen Iron
Company which has held the Vir-
ginia plants under leases for about
two years past.
This transaction and the combi-
nation on which it proceeds promi-
ses well for the enterprise and
those concerned about it's future.
The head of the purchasing com
pany is Mr.. A. ]. Markham of Will
mington, Del, and he and his as
sociates bring to the business not
only ample capital but the highest
qualifications attested by the record
of success and in years past.

ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITY
Ohio Valley Exposition Will Open
August 10Th.

Mr.. f. II. LaBaume, agricultural
and Industrial agent OF the Norfolk
q Western Railway, has just re-
turned from Cincinnati where he
has made an inspection OF the
grounds and buildings for the Ohio
Valley Exposition which takes place
in that city August 20 to September
"a. In speaking Of his inspection,
Mr.. LaBaume said:
The railroads OF the South have
been given one Of the largest wings
in the exposition building to be de-
voted entirely to the exhibit of
Southern products. These roads
have contributed 100000 for the
purpose of exploitation OF the South
and Southern products and have
placed competent manager to re-
ceive and install the exhibits as
fast as they are sent in. The Ches-
apeake & Ohio and the Norfolk &
Western, through their industrial
departments, are making special eff
forts to insure exhibits Of products
from their respective territories
that will be second to none and they
expect hearty cooperation OF all
the cities and towns on their lines

hibits. No better opportunity ex.
lists for effective display Of State
exhibits of agricultural, mineral and
timber products where outside in.
vestors and homeseekers can be in
terested. than at this Ohio Valley
Exposition at Cincinnati.
Mr.. LaBaume says that this will
be the most interesting exhibition
that will be held this Year and il is
safe to expect that there will be q
million or more people entertained
by it during the life of the shaw.
In conclusion Mr.. LaBaume said
that the opportunity TO exhibit our
Southern products and resources in
the North do not often present them.

that this opportunity can be avail.

Increase of Whites over Blacks

"One OF the best evidences OF the
remarkable growth OF the white pop
ulation OF the city of Lynchburg.
when compared with tie colored
population is shown by the attend
ance upon the pu bic schools OF the
city during the last session as com
pared with fifteen years ago" de-
clared well known resident of the
city to reporter of The Advance.
This gentleman recalled that con-
siderable has been written and said
about the growth of the city. but
the real facts he claims, had not
been brought out vet. lie showed
that fifteen years ago there we're
1870 negro pupils in the city
schools, this being just 800 in ex-
cess OF the white children in the
schools. Last year the white pup
lis have increased from than 100
per cent, while the negro pupils
have decreaed nearly third.
From these figures it will be seen
that the city has lost largely in its
negro population, and that the act
ual gain has been with the white
people.

A Marshal of France
people.

That General Washington was a
marshal of France is the interest
ing story recalled by the Baltimore
Sun in connection with the f. ct that
Virginia is about to present a copy
of the Houdon statue torrance. The
Sun says.
1t became necessary to give
Washington this commission in or
der to confer upon him authority
over the Count de Rochambeau, who
was an old acknowledgement, and
who could only take orders from a
marshal or the King in person.
When the French troops we're to
be sent TO America the difficulty.
about the command arose, and it
was settled this way upon the sug-
gestion of Coloael Laurens, the
special Ambassador to France. Mr..
Custis gave proofs OF the facts.
This matter does not seem to have
been mentioned in any OF the stand
ard lives of Washington. But Mr..
Curtis's evidence is strong. and
the fact that Virginia is presenting
to France statue of high French
official is most interesting"
