Voice Against Annexation.

Eultor OF Inc tfrglntan.
Sir---As one of those who believe
that sentiment is not overwhelmingly
in favor of consolidation, as has been
printed and stated so many times, but
that Manchester will remain Manches-
ter. I desire to say a few words in
regard to this important question.
First of ALL this Is primarily and
essentially a matter for Manchester
people to decide. and not to be decided
by newspapers, chamber Of COM
merce. business mems association, nor
Petersburg lawyers. We are told that
we will get a free bridge. Here the
question arises as to whether or not
the annexation of Manchester Is nee
essary to enable Richmond 20 build
this bridge. and the only answer II. No.
II the great city of Richmond has any
of ever Building such
bridge, 1t will be built, regardless Of
They tell us that Manchester has
not progressed and TO compare the
size of the two cities Since 1850 Rich
mond has only increased her popula-
ton by 60 per cent. while Manchesters
increase for the same time was nearly
400 per cent. As to the comparative
size of the two cities and why we ara
so much smaller than Richmond, will
say that ! have been in nearly every
State In the Union and Canada and
Mexico. and ! have never yet seen two
cities situated across river from each
other where both were OF the same
size.
One of our councilmen has stated in
public several times that II 10 abso-
lutely impossible for Manchester to
meet her demands in the future. citing

AhsnrI ON It's Face.

The suggestion that Thomas r..
Ryan VIII be appointed United States
senator by Governor Mann in case of
the death OF Senator John w Daniel
is, to say the least, ridiculous.
Mr.. Ryan Is not identified with the
interests of Virginia and the people
of the State would nor stand for his
appointment. and II appointed, he
would certainly not stand q show for
reelection.
Virginia is one OF the few States in
the Union that cannot be bought
with money, and no matter how much
MIR. Ryan spent he could not be elect
ed to the United States Senate
We do not believe that Mr.. Ryan
has any ambition to be n senator
from Virginia. and II is best for him
that he has not. rs this ambition will
never be reaiized.--WIncheste Star.

A Jewish Colony.

The establishment Of the Jewish
agricultural colony at Tryon. am
nouncement OF which is made In this
issue, marks a new and important
step in Western North Carolina
Enterprising spirits in North Caro-
lima have long endeavored to encour-
age immigration into the State for ag-
rieultural purposes. and while the
Waldesian settlement may be regard
ed as the flrst tangible step In this
direction. II has remained for Jewish
bodies to establish the first colony
with view to agricultural instruction
on a scientific and profitable basis.
AS Secretary Landmand well says,
the greatest problem for the country
now to solve is the demand for food
stuffs--a demand which greatly ex-
ceeds the supply. The solution lies, :"
he says. in training the sons of the
city to take their places in the ranks
of agriculture" This can be done
by schools of instruction established
for that purpose or by closer atten-
ton to agricultural subjects in the
schools we haye.-Greensboro Tele-

Cider and Fever.

This newspaper does not eften
make mistakes or err In its diagnosis
OF situations. We begin to fear. how
ever. that we were wrong the other
day in attributing the sudden revival
of hope and joy and enterprise In
Lynchburg to the failure Of the bill
intended to prevent the people OF that
city from raiding over here and
straining the resources OF the Roa-
noke saloons and bottle houses. A
day or two after the appearance Of
that article we were puxxled and
startled by the sudden appearance
of cvtdenreE of vitality I'm Danvftfe.
The Register and the Bee burst out
into the streets waving their hats and

evidences Of pugnacity demanded
that something be done instantly to
make that fact; known to the world.

o obtain a divorce from F. II. Sothern, her hus-
,and In recent conversation with the reporters
HE was asked if she believed in divorce. Let
ne ask you question, she replied:
IF man and woman are married and
they have made failure of that marriage;
if they are not happy together and life is
miserable for them both because there Is
no love between them any more--the one
thing that must invariably and surely
exist to make marriage hallowed and hon
orable-do you think such a man and
woman should be compelled to continue
to remain husband and wife and to contin-
ue an existence which must be miserable
and falsef Of course, must believe in di-
yorce' she said Then she went on -
at is wrong for man and woman to
live together, where there is no love be-
tween them. 1t is unholy wedloek; a
sin
Il feel that / am doing the only right
thing left for to do in the circum-
stances. We must do the things which
makes us the most happy, for in proper
ton as we are happy will be our useful
ness to ourselves and to others.
That is narrow and selfish view of the subject
which is intoerable to those who respect and re-
we're the holy estate of matrimony. 1t Is not an
individual affair. Matrimony is an institution
and it must be maintained and its sanctity must
be preserved regardless of the personal difficulties
of individuals here and there who have made un
happy alliances. The institution of matrimony
must not suffer merely because woman like Miss
Harmed. or Mrs. Sothern, whatever she may
call herself does not live happily with her man
Matrimonv is not to be entered into lightly or un
advisedly. or sensationay, recklessly, but dis
creetly devoutly. reverently, and those who make
the contract should understand before they do
so that it is a lifelong contract.
The law does not compel husband and wife to
live together when for one reason or another they
cannot dwell in peace under the same roof. But
separation is one thing and divorce is another
If man and his wife cannot live together they
must live apart, but in every such case they must
be as circumspcct in their department as If they
were living together, and true in spirit as well as
in the letter, to the marriage vow. This Is a very
different proposition from the divorce which sewers
the bond and makes each party free to marry again
1t will be bad day for American society when il
takes counsel of such persons as Miss Harmed on
the Sanctity of Marriage
