The question of the settlement of the

they are apparently just as determined
today as they were three weeks ago.
The officials Of the Amalgamated Car

that no settlement will be accepted
that does not include full recognition of
tho union.
And there the matter stands. The
company offers to take strikers back
and does not demand that they shall
drop their union membership. but they
insist that the union shall cut no figure
in any peace negotiations. In other
words they are for the open shop

MIR. LANCASTER EXPLAINS.

Editor Herald In your last is
sue, Sept. Goth, appears on the
first page an article headed BEL
igerent Barristers," which seems
to convey the idea that Mr.. J. Tay-
lCr Thompson was justified from
wnat Mr.. w. Lancaster said in his
speech to the court and jury in
dealing "him a genuine knock down
Cw."
The facts are Mr.. Lancaster was
not knocked down, though badly
stunned by a severe blow dealt up
on the left temple, when he was
facing the jury. The remarks of
Mr.. Lance ,ter a. which umbrage
was take were tnat Mr.. Thompson
had saiC TIA, s nee hc Nas employ
ed TO prosecute Nj. Londeree and
to defend the Martins. Londeree
would have to employ Congressman
Flood, because Mr.. Flood was the
only lawyer here-abOuts who could
cope with him. WhereupOn. Mr..
Thompson asked by what authority
this was said Mr.. Lancaster said
his son, then Lancaster faced the
jury to say that Mr.. Wilye Norris
had impaired this to his son, where
upon he was dealt the blow unawar-
es, and from the sentiment of the
people of Cumberland as expressed,
he prefers TO suffer the punishment
received than to have inflicted a
blow upon Mr.. Thompson, or any
other man Unexpectedly to him.
For the egotism exhibited by
such talk which Mr.. Lancaster be-
lieves him to have expressed in the
First National Bank, he wishes to
quote from the Bible, Let another
praise thee, not thine own lips"
and to inform him that a Cumber-
land jury could decide a criminal
case according to the law and tes-
timony, whoever was employed as
attorney.

TRIBUTE OF A FRIEND.

J. NJ. Wilson, a son of Capt. Ben
Wilson, of Cumberland, was on Sat
urday night, Oct. 1st, killed by the
Tidewater and Western train about
eleven o'clock. His sudden demise
brought sorrow to his many friends
besides grief OF the deepest to his
relatives, as shown by the large
crowd who attended his burial on
the 4th at Aspin Grove, the family
burying ground, where his three
aunts now reside.
J. M. Wilson was an honest and
truthful man, above a mean and
low act to any of his fellow crea-
lures; he paid his debts and met
his obligations, and many Of his
friends will suffer loss irreparable
by his death.

An Ideal Town.

A recent writer has given his
views of an ideal town. There are
Tth.n its gates no drones, nor
r;h, nor poor, strong and weak,
.gh and low, no assessment aud no
axes. and when the cop sees a citi-
zen violating the law, he approach
s with the gentle reminder, you
re in error. And then the offend
p simply replies. THANK you,
rother, | had forgotten"
How much better this than the
and carrying to jail, and
zen it may be the rock pile and the
aain gang. Why not convert Farm
rle into just such an ideal town?
And it will be when the Millen-
ilm dawns.

DEATH OF JAMES NJ. WILSON.
BODl FOUND ON SIDE OF THE
TRACK OF THE TIDEWATER
AND WESTERN II. II.
The Theory l. That He Was Killed
BY Passing Train

The dead body of Mr.. James NJ.
Wilson was found on last Sunday
morning neaI the tracks of tle
Tidewater and Western railway. anI
the CONCLUSION is that while walk
ing along side the road bed he was
struck by he incoming passenger
train Of that road which arrives a.
Farmyille at 10 p. m.
The fatal blow was received on
the right siae of the head, though
there was an abrasion on the arm
and the back. Death must have
been instantaneous.
After the body was viewed by
the coroner. it was removed to the
old homestead, and there the funer-
al was held at p. m, Monday, the
Rev Dudley Boogher, rector of
the Episcopal Church, officiating.
The burial was in the family square
at the family homestead
Friends gathered from far and
near to pay their tribute OF respect
to the memory of the dead, and
their presegce in such numbers
bore silent but significant testimony
to the esteem in which the deceas-
ed was held. Mr.. Wilson was
practical farmer and at the time of
his uhtlmely death was engaged on
the farm of Mr.. J. ID. Watkins,
few miles south of Farmyille. He
was a SOL of the late Capt Ben
Wilson, who during his day was
an IGNORED and respected citizen OF

MEETING OF TOBACCO BOARD.
THE ELECTION OF OFFICERS.
New Rules Are To BE EnfOrc-
ed.

The regular annual meeting of
the Farmville Tobacco Board took
place on Monday, when the follow
ing officers were elected for the
coming year: A. w. Drumeller,
president; II. +. Barrow, vice
president; H. H. Gillian, secretary.
A stringent order was adopted TO
prevent the very Objectionable hab-
it of soliciting trade for the ware
houses from farmers as they drive
into market with the product. No
more pulling at the farmers on the
road, and this applies to the coun-
try as well as the town. After the
farmer puts the tobacco on the
wagon, no soliciting is to be
tolerated.
A fine of S25 for each violation
of the law. The Board also agreed
to guard against watered tobacco.
The farmers will take notice of this.
The great corporations handle wat
cred stock, but the Farmyille tobac-
co buyers want the weed minus
the water.
The Board is armed for a good
fight, and the hope is that the to-
bacco year will be a record breaker.

go IN AND SING \ HYMN

AS Chief FOCUS was walking up
one OF the streets of Farmville he
was hailed by house keeper. who
complained bitterly of the digging
going on in front of her home, and
as she related her grievance she
became more and more excited,
whereupon the Chief said to her
in his gentlest tones, when you
are troubled ! would advise you to
retire to your room and sing some
familiar hymn"
And then the good woman ask
ed, "have you tried the remedy"
"No, Madam have not, for when
| get good and mad instead of sing
ing l say things" And just what

THE SECOND FIRE ALARM.
THE EPEs' STABLE THE SCENE.
H,v Burned, Some Damage To The
Building But No Animal In
jured.

Al the noon hour of last Sun
5ay the fire bell rang and the fire
hdiies were soon fighting fire at
the Epes' livery stable.
The flames were promptly gotten
unier control, the building saved
from serious injury though the stock
of hay on hand was. damaged by fire
and water. The teams were all out
n, the road, and no harm was done
~ the vehicles. Mr.. Epes was at
1ome at the time the alarm was
ziven. having been indisposed for
some days.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but il is more than probable that
some cigarette smoker had been in
the loft indulging the luxury.
smoking about a stable is well
nigh as reckless as smoking about
, powder mill, and of course it is
-syer done with the consent of
he proprietor. This is our second
fire. and now to preserve our re-
cord we must have the third. And
ya why the necessity? With every
return of the enemy it is demon
grated that Farmville is prepared
promptly to meet and master him.
Fsrmyille prefers not to engage in
.le tight as she is busy with other
t5ings.
Give us the electric lights at
ych times as they are needed and
then let all smokers smoke with
care. and We need not have the .
liri fire.

didate for the clerkship of Cumber-

To have him succeed to this po-
