GEST AND MOST EFFECTIVE
GUNS WE HAVE

Dear Sir: 1t seems that the de-
Velopment Of the so-called insurgency
wave of to-day, bids fair TO break
over the strong ramparts of en-
trenched capitalism.
This being the third movement
that has swept the country since the
Civil War, may we not expect that
the time is near, when this will be a
government by the people and not
government by the money power?
You remember we'll the insurgent
movement Of the early eighties, the
Greenbackers followed by the Pop
ulists the people were not con-
WINGED yet, then followed the panics
Of 1898, when more proof was added
to proof.
Secondly, came the Bryan free
silver wave which threatened t. ac-
cOmplish the end and destruction of
the we'll organized army of capitalism
led by the mighty generals Quay, AL
drich and Plat; yet again more evil
dence was demanded The people
were still hoping, trusting, that all
was we'll and that agitators, were
mere fanatics, longhaired men, ETC.,
there was more evidence demanded
by the people,; when followed the ex-
posures of the Standard Oil, the do
ings of the Beef Trust, and Gov.
Hughes exposures of the Life In
surance Companies; all of these de-
velopments of imperative facts,
proof upon proof, certainty added to
certainty, that the whole people were
at last convinced. Hence the people
are now stirred from center to cir
cumference and victory is plainly in
and keep traitors out of the ranks.
To this end Mr.. Watson, The Jeffer-
sonians, the biggest and most effec-
tive guns we have, must be spared to
the people. The missels of these
great guns are penetrating the armor
clad Trusts and Corporations with
telling effect.
We are advocating the same prin-
ciples that we have contended for
ever since the fight begun soon after
the Civil War.
The so-called inurgency or pro-
gressive movement Of to-day is the
same patriotic lines sung in the two
former campaigns, but now set to a
new and livelier air.
You have a large number of ad-
mirers in the grand old State of
Tennessee who to-day hang their
heads with shame and weep over the
disgraceful affairs which continually
confront item, brought about as you
we'll know by a few pot-bellied two
by-four politicians working in the in
terest of the whiskey and railroad
corporations.
Fire your big guns in our direction

THE PEOPLE WANT A PRIMARY!

Dear Sir: l notice in the Constitu-

Sells First Kiln Of Tile.

L. L. Wall and Son. manufacturers
of drain tile. have sold the first kiln
entire to a Norfolk firm at a good
price. Just how many tile are in the
kiln, Mr.. Wall is unable to say. but
it is not large one. being the first
he has burned here.
The Wall plant not oaly competed
with other firmf in prices but also in
quality. So well pleased were the
purchasers that they bought the
whole kiln. They will ship the tile
by water to Norfolk where it will be
sold to the truckers in that section.
1t is thought that this is but the
forerunner OF many large sales from
this plant in the Norfolk section
The fact that il met the competition
of the western goods is encouraging.

showed better team work than the
home team. Each team missed a
goal from placement and Fredrricks-

PREPARING
TO START,
Mil is to Open
Next Month,

The Williamsburg knitting mill
will begin operation on or about No
vsmber IS. When Mr.. Groat re-
turned last week from the north he
was accompanied by his superintend-
ent who is now here getting things
in shape for an early resumption of

dition. The minor repairs that are
necessary will all be completed be-
fore the middle of the month when
it is proposed to put the mill in
commission.
The management has decided to
start the mill before making exten-
sive repairs and additions. The two
new buildings will be erected as
quickly as possible. and other per
mansnt Improvements made. Th-
additional machinery is nowin trans
It but will not be installed till later.
The fact that the mill will posi-
lively resume operations on the date
meauoned ant mat tic work of re-
pair is in progress has about silenceo
the Tumors that the mill would no,
start this year.
The addition of the third story tc
the main building will begin at once,
and the contractor will be here next
Saturday. Work has begun ir
earnest now.
The superintendent. Mr.. McGinnis
who has been associated with Mr.

There Is q Reason.

Ons morning during Fair week in
Richmond the writer was aboard a
Chesapeake & Ohio train al Rich
mond when bis attention was attract
ed to a white man who was filling
the tank on a passenger coach with
water and ice. The tank is filled
from the top and the aperture for
the pssssgeof the ice to the W ter
is rather small.
On this particular morning th= ice
man had left the ice for the tank in
rather large chunks. TOO large to 90
into the tank. The railroad en-
ployse did not hesitate a momen,
over the manner in which he forced
the ice down into the tank through
the little opening. he just placed
