CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, Nov. IS.
Calvary, the negro agitator, who
aroused such excitement in the Kes-
wick section two months ago by
preaching the doctrine of racial equal
ity. returned to Albemarle early this
week.
Thursday night a. number of resi-
dents OF that section waited on the
minister. After long search he
was found at o'clock Friday morn
Ing In a negro cabin.
A strap was put around his neck
and he was led distance of three
miles over the county Grad to Cob
ham. Upon reaching the station he
was given a good cowhiding in the
presence OF some OF his recent con-
verts. mostly women. and half hour
later was placed aboard the west
bound train and given ticket to
Clifton Forge.
He declared that he would never
return to Albemarle again. He was
very humble and begged to be let or
easy. Some OF the whitecappinz
party were masked. while others did
not attempt any disguise. Calvary
weighs over $50. and his sprint In
brisk morning air evidently reduced
his weight.

GUBERNATORIAL FIGHT.
LEAVES FOR HIS HOME
MIR. STUART WISHES TO BE IN
NINTH DISTRICT WHEN INvEs-
TiGATION OF RECENT ELEC-
TION Is MADE.

While no definite plans for the gu
bernntorial campaign of 1918 are yet
being made by Mr.. Henry c. Stuart,
who left Richmond Friday afternoon
for his home in Russell county. 1T Is
we'll known In every part OF the state
that unless unforeseen obstacles pre-
vent he will make an active fight for
election TO the chief executives chair
and will. according 10 all indications,
score a landslide.
MIR. Stuart has gone back 10 the
Ninth district to be present when the
Investigation into the recent congress
stpnaf election takes place. The Dem
OcrAtic candidate makes no formal
charges against Mr.. SleYnp. He says.
however, that certain allegations have
been made in various parts Of the dis
trict. He does NOT know their truth or
falsity, but wishes an inquiry TO deter
mine the facts.
In speaking OF recent publications
regarding his candidacy for the gov
ernorship, Mr.. Stuart said just before
leaving town:
Il can only say in this connection
that it is and has been for some
time generally understood among my
friends that | would be a candidate
in the race for governor Of Virginia
in 1913, That is as much as l care
to say"
Different from other candidates
whose strength has been concentrated
in some one section of the State, MIR.
Stuart unless prevented from max
ing the race. Will find that his popu-
larity is phenomenal in all parts OF
Virginia.
Being originally a Southwest Viz
ginia man. he can. OF course. expect
in that part of the State practi-
caily solid vote. His temporary So
5ourn III Richmond as member OF
the State Corporation Commission
made him many friends in the middle
and eastern counties. and he can
count on them to give IA good ac-
count OF themselves at the polls.

Richmond has read of the tragic
death OF eighteen ayiators during the
present YEAR but none of them has
caused the genuine SORROW and regret
In the capital city as the news of
ralph Johnstones fate in Denver
oecasioned.
This Is due mainly To the fact that
tombstone is the only aviator Rich
monders have seen in Hight, and 10
the fact that while here his daring
aerial feats commanded the adnira-

he would have more readily trusted
