Ar Interesting Sketch from a Late Resident
Of Hartford,

All who have read the Hon. William
Wits account of the "Blind Preacher" I"
| in the British Spy. have admired his no.
bility of character, but few who have not
visited Gordonsville, Va know more of
this preacher or his church.
The Blind Preachers" name was
lanes Waddell. He was born In Ireland
In 1899. His parents immigrated to
America when he was an infant and set.
tied in Southern Pennsylvania. lie at.
tended Finley Academy, Noting ham, Pa.
1t Is not known in what year he came
to Virginia, but in 1861 he was licensed
as n probatoner in the presbytery of
Hanover.
He married Mary Gordon In 1868, a
daughter of Col James Gordon
There is no record when the presbyter-
Ian Church of the "Blind Preacher" was
built. but il was one OF the oldest
churches of Orange county. 1t stood on
the north side Of the road bctween Cor
donsville and Orange, about halt mile
from the former town. Ii was small,
unpretentious frame building standing
amid grove of trees. hut unattractiye
as was its exterior, the walls re. echoed to
such glowing, burning words as never
fell from a more gifted orators lips.
In person, Waddell Is described as fol.
lows His compleIio was fair and his
eyes of "A light blue; his mien unusually
digniiied. and his manners elegant and
graceful. His eloquence has become
matter OF tradition IN Virginia.
Between the years of 1850 and SO the
historical old church was torn down by
the Sons Of Temperance" when u wave

II was used as school house. Later II
was condemned that a street might he

a negro preacher. who used It again In

Waddell purchased an estate at Hope.
well, where the three counties, Louisa,
Orange and Albemarle intersect. Here
the remaining years Of hts lie were spent
lie died September II, 1905.
So ended the life OF one of the most re-
markablc and unique chatacters-not
only OF this county and statc-but of the |
world.
1t IL an Inspiration to stand beneath |
the wide spreading houghs of this old |
oak, near the site of the old church, |
whose branches must have sheltered the |
"Blind Preacher" from the rays of the |
summer sun. and to know as you lit |
your eyes to the arching dome OF heaven |
that he too lifted his sightlcss orbs to
that same sky In supplication for the |
salvation of his fellow man.

Educational Number.

This issue might be appropriately
termed our Educational Edition"
Judging from the space given to the
reports of Teachers and Directors
meetings, Commencement Notices,
etc. and should be read with much
interest, and will be, by all people
with the proper interest for this
work.
Too much cannot be said on the
subject of schools nor can too much
effort be manifested by anyone for
the advancement of educational ad-
vantages for those upon whose
shoulders will rest the future sue
cess and progress of our county,
and the country generally.
The citizens of Sullivan county
can we'll be proud of the results of
past work done by County Superin-
tendents and the able corps of in
structors. And one fact noticeable
is that the interest and good work
is going on more rapidly each year
and with more assistance from the
citizens at large.
With these conditions as an omen
we feel perfectly free in predicting
that our county will some day be
classed among the best in the coun-
try as well as the state which, CON
sidering the facilities and various
advantages some other sections
have, should be sufficient compen-
sation to the school workers for
their exertions.

Total SO, 1873, 243, 500
III we estimate the population of
the United States at SO millions,
the amount of money per capita for
each inhabitant would be $50. II.
In 1880 the per capita was S19.41; !;
In 1900 the per capita was S26. .94:'
1t will be seen we have almost (S10)
more for each inhabitant than we
had in 1900, but our currency is
not badly inflated. The country is
in a prosperous condition. The
manufacturing establishments are
working on full time. The laborers
are generally employed. Com
merce is active, and sales good.
Crop prospects are fair, and the car
wheels are turning. What is desir-
able is to stop the upward tendency
of prices and secure greater sta
bility. So far~as currency eXpan-
sion is concerned, there are two
ways by which the upward tend
ency of prices can be arrested The
one is to stop the coinage of gold,
as the coinage of silver was stopped,
or to redeem certain proportion
of the silver certificates with gold.
and destroy them, leaving the silver
coin in the treasury vaults where
it now lies sleeping, until increased
population rendered its employ
ment as money necessary.
1t may be said that redemption
of silver certificates with reserve
gold from the treasury would put
that gold afloat, and not lessen the
amount of money in circulation.
1t would in small degree, as gold
and silver coin, Con account of
greater weight, never circulate so
freely as paper money. We do not
want contraction of the currency,
we want to stop initiation.

The Amount of Money in The
United States, and The
Different Kinds.
Different Kinds.

Variety is said to be the spice of
life. We have a variety of money
in our country, and it is all good.
The question is wether we have too
much of good thing. The amount
of money actually needed in coun-
try depends on the number of the
inhabitants, the amount of traffic
with each other, and the rapidity
with which it passes from hand to
hand in the payment of debts, and
and purchases of property. We
might also say it depended in a
measure on the proportion of people
who mostly use bank checks in the
transaction of business.
The total amount of money of
all kinds in circulation in the United
States, or held as a reserve in the
banks for depositors, on November
1st 1909 was as follows:
Gold coin, S6O1 900, 600
Gold certificates, S74 900, 500
Silver coin, 2O4 900, 600
Silver certificates. 4S7, ,5S7 900
Legal tender notes, 346, 600, 600
