SeNeraf esteemed contemporaries in

on Democratic District Chairmon

vention and nominate the Hon Tate

harI sense of Chairman st. Clair

son To the contrary we are disposed
TO agree with the Southwest Times

Tore the election-the work of GET

believe by beginning soon, with the

oughly united and harmonious with
the close alliance between Mr. Slemu

ly unsatisfactory course of the Re-

good chance TO win The way to i'm

by as merciless and as constituencies
a combine as ever gripped their
throats and their purposes. The PEG
pie OF Virginia, almost without ex-
ception are entirely willing that all
men and corporations shall make n
living with something extra To lay
by for "A rainy day. but kick like

Take one case: a merchant ere

ago. The town was then poorly
equipped for fighting fire. The wa
ter supply was poor, and there were
many old frame buildings or Main
street. The insurance premium on
his stock of goods was then about
Sl2 90. The insurance people said
the rate was high owing t. lack of
water and fire fighting facilities and
rates would be revised when the
town got better fire protection. Since
then the town has doubled its wafer
capacity and otherwise improved its
facilities for protection against fire,
ana one would naturally suppose
that the rate would be reduced. Has
IL: When this same merchant re-
newed his policies the premium was
Slo.OO, and ut last renewal the rate
was S2l.OO. What il will be next
time who knows? The rate was re
vised, y but like the tariff at Wash
ington, revised upward. The experi-
ence above given is only one of ma
ny. Every merchant and business
man i'm this town and other towns
say the same thing. The Eastern
Tariff Association gets together, and
'revises" the tariff, but it never re-

THE APPOINTMENT OF MR..
LINCOLN

The appointment of Senator Lin
coin of Smyth county on the FL
nance Committed. was n proper thing.
The senate caucus blundered at first.
but the blunder has been all fixed
up, and the incident declared closed.
However, the incident has its lesson.
There was some show of excuse for
excluding Republicans from repre-
sentation OH the Finance Committee.
The Republicans i'm the State are for
ever and eternally charging the DEM
ocrats with extravaganza, dupIicity
and fraud IN the management OF
the State finances. Some of them
going SO far rs to intimate that if
certain state officials had their dues
they wouldd be wearing stripes.
What reason for wanting TO be
placed on this committee could any
Republican give honestly other than
that his presence was necessary TO
prevent stealing? Either this or his
preesnce OH the committee would be
that Of an obstructioniSt and a dis
turber. Some such consideration
evidently led the CAUCUS, in the first
place, to deny the Republicans a
place on the committee. However
admitting all this, there was still
weighty reason why their action
was wrong and ii has been rescinded.
and Senator Lincoln, one OF the best
men in the State, Republican.
