CIDER AND VINEGAR.

A number Of fruit growers Of Able
marie and adjoining counties met in
Charlottesville yesterday and organized
the Cider and Vinegar Association, oil
Virginia, which has for its object the
advancement of the pure applecider
and vinegar industry Of the state. The
officers OF the association are +. u.
Woods, Of Coyesville, president; f. C.
Myers, of Waynesboro, secretary; J.
Goulay Martin, of Coyesville, treasurer.
The organization is backed by the
fruit growers OF that section, and
it is their intention to prosecute
the manufacturers and retailers Of
illegal elders and yinegars, or, in
an other words, the chemical compounds
which are. sold throughout the state
under the name Of elders and vinegars
in violation Of the Byrd bill. An
officer of the association said yester
day that the organization would 60 after
the manufacturers OF a number of beyer-
ages, many OF whose alcoholic strength
was as high as from 9 to II per cent.
Of alcohol, and worse than whisky.
Fruitgrowers from Albemarle, Augusta,
Nelson and Clarke counties participated
in the organization OF the association

Chicago, Jnly 22.-Coroner Hoffman
announced this afternoon that he had
received II confidential letter informing
that negro murdered Ira G. Rawn,
president Of tho Monon Railroad, and
that the motive was not robbery. The
coroner refused to divulge the name OF
the author Of the letter or say who the
negro suspect is.
The coroner's statement was given

with Acting Chief Of Police Schuettler
and Foreman Hately Of the coroner's
jury.
Scheuttler started at once for Win
netka, and it was understood he ex-
pected to make an arrest this after
noon. Information from Winnetka
indicates that the negro suspected OF
the murder is a former employe OF
Rawn, who made threats against the
railroad presidents life after he was
discharged.
A reward OF IS, geo was offeredtoday
by Rawn's family for the arrest and
conviction Of his slayers. The com
panics which held Rawn's life insur-
ance policies for $40, 200 will pay that
amount whether the coroner's verdict
is murder or suicide, but the accident
insurance companies, who issued poll
licies for $105, 900 TO Rawn, will insist
on thorough investigation. (

CONFEDERATE HEROINE.

There was laid to rest in the ceme-
terry at Groveton, Prince William
county, Monday, the body Of Mrs.
Lucinda Dogan, one of the Oldest
women in northern Virginia, she hav-
ing attained her niney-third year.
Mrs. Dogan's mind remained clear up
to her death. and she often related in
terviews she had had with the president
and leading generals of the Confeder
acy, including Beauregard, Jackson
and Lee.
1t was near the Dogan home that the
slaughter of the federal troops, at the
historic railroad cut, took place, and
the yard was the scene OF vast hos
pital for both armies when the tide of
battle had swept past
Mrs. DOgan's illustrations of relief,
to wounded and dying, were acknowl-
edged by many grateful letters and
tokens of appreciation from soldiers
and their relations after the war.
During the first battle OF Manassas,
Mrs. Dogan had wagon loaded with
casks of water and with provisions,
sent to the battlefield. The wagon was
drawn by an OK team, driven by a col
Ored man, and he had orders to dIs-
tribute the food and water, to any sol
der in distress, no matter what uniform
he wore. This Christian act won Mrs.
Dogan, the proud title of The Belle
Of the Battlefield" a distinction be
slowed by soldiers in both armies. The
second battle was fought near the home
at Groveton, and the family was com
PEELED to move to the home of her
father, William Lewis, a mile distant,
During this battle, too, she ministered
to the suffering soldiers.
1t was largely due to Mrs, Dogan's
efforts that the Bull Run chapter of
the United Daughters of the Confede-
racy was organized, and the Confede-
rate cemetery, at Groyeton, established.

FELL SHORT.

Probably the greatest disappointment
over the result OF the census enumera-
ton oil 1910, so far announced, falls to
the lot Of Adams county, III. 1t APP
pears that the Illinois legislature en-
acted a law to the effect that if Adams
county could show a population of
20, 600 under the thirteenth census it
would be entitled to proceed and elect
a probate county Judge. Adams county
was we'll satisfied with the provision
There was probate-iudgeship timber in
abundance and various candidates an
nounced themselves The twelfth census
gave Adams county population Of
50 900 in round numbers, and it ap-
peared to everyone having an eye on
the judgeship that it was cinch. "
The enumeration OF the county in 1910
would show at least a gain Of 5000 if not
very much more. But it did not and
officials of the Census Bureau announce
that according to their figures only "a,
5SS people reside in Adams county in
in this year 1910. Therefore no pro-
bate Judge for Adams county and the
Adams countyites are stunned.

THE COUNTERFEIT sOUTHERNER

OF course, there are many counter
feits. A most amusing imitation is
one that often passes for the typical
southerner in New York. This satchel-
mouthed braggart infests the cafes and
demands attention by abusing the
waiter for offending his delicate sense
OF honor. Il hate a niger, sab, he
loudly proclaims-which is a sentiment
that one never hears from those to the
manner born. He haunts the theaters
and parades the streets, since it is poor
fun to practice his gentiIity in private.
He wears a wide black hat; mounts the
table and yeIIs whenever the band plays
southern melody. Such pretentious
caricature would be harmless enough
but for the ridicule he brings upon the
south. Unfortunately, popular authors
seem to accept him at face value and
exploit him in novels or plays where
'southerner" is a necessary part OF the

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
FRIDAY EVENING JULY y

ONE OF the most singular develop
ments OF the science and practice Of
government in the last decade has been
the spread Of the automobile habit
among public officials in the largcf
cities. Somehow the field OF Official
consciousness has been enlarged anu
men who twenty years ago, or even ten
years ago, would gladly have used the
street ears in travelling to and from
their Offices and making necessary visits
outside now feel it beneath their dig
nifty TO employ any other means oil
transportation than high power tour
ing machine. 1t may be that little
time is saved by the use OF an automo-
bile. But the cost Of transportation Is
multiplied and the temptations to the
misuse OF public vehicles for private
PURPOSES are so overwhelming that the
town or city furnishingsautomobiles on
a large scale to its officials necessarily
devotes a great part OF the service lhey
render to private use. In this connec
ton the New York Tribune says: The
idea that the holder of Il public Office
can travel about in a tramcar or even
walk short distances like an ordinary
citizen is going out of date not only III
the great cities but in the smaller
towns. We are evidently rearing a gen
Grafton of municipal functionarles who
in the matter of lOcomOtion are losing
touch with good old Mother Earth. " A
recent issue of the Register and
Leader of Des Moines, Iowa, reports
that the automobile habit has taken
firm root among the officials OF that
conservative community. The various
city departments have been equipped
with machines and now the sheriff OF
Polk county is demanding one ana the
county superintendent Of public schools
insists that she cannot get along with
out one. The mere taxpayers IN the
towns and cities may come to look
upon it as a devourer of tax collections.
If the habit grows the village constable
will have to have his touring machine
and so will the rural mail carrier. To
spurn the earth in car maintained at
public expense will become PerqW-
site of official station more naughty and
more costly than any Of the historic
privileges which used 10 separate the
governing classes in Europe from the
