same as the brought against the cover

The case is this: Farmer charges that
Governor Mann, in 1907, gave him legal
advice regarding a controversy over a
contract between Farmer and the Akers
Lumber Company, of Lynchburg, the
plaintiff at that time being extensively
interested in the lumber business.
Judge Mann's advice was paid for S.
being rendered and promise was given
by Mann that he would act as legal
counsel for Farmer, when the suit.

Mann for the Akers Lumber Company.

TO FARMERS OF
THE SOUTHWEST
Captain A. J. TJnes Tells Why the Agri-
GulNTallsts of This Section Should Pa
tTOnlle the State Farmers Institute.

The next annual meeting of the State
Farmers Institute will open at Peters
burg, Va, on Tuesday, August 9-IO-11,
inclusive. The session promises to be
one Of great interest to the develop-
ment Of the primary interests of the
State. With its accustomed Gberalitv
and public spirit, the Norfolk and West
ern Railway will take a free hand and
lend substantial boost to the gather
ing and entertainment of the farmers.
notably, by making round trip" rate
to delegates and attendants Of three
cents to Petersburg and return, with a
free excursion trip to and hospitable en-
tertainment at its experimental farm at
Ivor, Southampton county.
1t is to be hoped that this great and
important Southwestern division of the
State will be substantially and literally
represented in this Institute, and for
many good and sufficient reasons, among
which are: valuable information and in
splration through the interchange of
thought and opinion, growing out of the
free and frank commingling of repre-
sentative business men and most pro-
gressive agriculturalists and patriotic
citizens OF the State; secondly, to be-
come identified, and therefore, more or
less enthused with that spirit of pro-
gress now happily invading every sec
tion of the Commonwealth.
Once more: The Southwest should be
there in force, if for no better reason
than that the Farmers Institute is, in
great measure, the bantling, the initia-
tive of the Southwest. Originating in
broad views and patriotic thought, twas
mainly more from this grand sub-divi-
sion that, in a spirit of optimism. it NAV
be, but with splendid courage and con-
stancy, projected the Institute, fostered
and organized its infancy in the pro-
gressive city of Roanoke, with barely
half hundred farmers, and with a te
naclty OF purpose and devotion unri-
vailed, brought it's membership I'D to a
splendid body of more than a thousand
enthusiastic farmers and enterprisinp.
broad-minded business men, in the shork
space of four years from its construc-
tive session in the city of Roanoke.
And now that the policy of the mana
gers has been changed tc meet annually
IN the various centers of the sub-divi-
sions of the State in its effort to pro-
mote, inspire and enthuse the spirit of
agricultural and kindred interests
throughout the whole State, shall the
progressive Southwest remain indiffer-
ent, or Achilles like, sulk in its tent and
become conspicuous by its absence?''
We believe it will not.

TAKE A STAND

The colored men who thinK
they play shrewd politics are
sometimes found to be slow at
the game. Sincerity and honesty
in politics are to be admired and
respected in the political world
as in any other field OF activities.
To be brave enoungh to take a
stand is indeed admirable in a
public man.
Not long ago Representative
Longworth took a firm stand as
a supporter of President TAFT. lie
did not quibble or hesitate, he dc
not wait until further develop
ments," but he had the bravery
to take a stand and the people ad
mired such a man.
1t is humiliating to see how
some colored politicians trim
and "evade" and play shy Il
their efforts to keep from taking
a stand. President Taft is no no
vice in politics; Senator Hitch
cock is none, and just as sure d
the sun rnses and sets, they al

The theme of the discourse was uni

Ten miles East of Helena the
Overland mine lay idle for many
wears although the principal owners
were amply able to open it up. Came
along two men with a capital OF 1850
which proved sufficient to reach pay
ore and within Is months they earned
over $4,000 above all expenses, be-
sides paying a large royalty to the
owners. And in the lower working
of this mine, which has now been
about eight years asleep, there is
shoot of high-grade ore over l2O feet
in length. 1t gently rests in the arms
OF conservatism or the stupidity OF
men of means who claim to be look
