Death Of the Editor Of the Roanoke World,

Mr.. James Mortimer Williams, editor
Of the Roanoke World, died at his home
at Hollins, Va, Wednesday, the 18th,
of pneumonia, aged AZ years.
} Mr.. Williams was q son of the late
David Williams, and was born and
spent eli his life in Roanoke county and
city. He received his education in the
local schools and went to Roanoke as q
youth where he was with the Roanoke
Grocery and Milling Company for sew
eral years. He then entered the law
school of the University of Virgins
where he graduated. He returned to
Roanoke where he engaged in the prac-
tice OF law, with the late c. H. Vines.
He was successful in his practice, but
his talent for writing attracted him to
the newspaper business and he became
editor of the Roanoke Times.
While with the Times he received a
very flattering offer from the agricul-
tursl and mechanical department of the
Norfolk and Western, and laid aside his
pen in 1904 and became secretary of
that department. He filled this posi-
ton with marked ability for three years.
1t is said that he had a more thorough
understanding Of the conditions of farm
ing interests in Virginia than any one
who could be gotten for that position.
He was painstaking in his work, and is
said to have accomplished a great deal
In securing immigration to Virginia.
He was also assistant secretary of the
Farmers Institute for several years.
In 1907, he again became editor of the
Times, and filed that position until the
paper changed hands, when be resigned.
He returned to his farm where he
spent several months. On May 1, 1910.
he succeeded w. L. Shafer as editor of
the World, and some of his best work
was done for this paper.
MIR. Williams is survived by his moth
er, Mrs. David Williams; his widow,
who was Miss Dolly Brewer, of Roanoke
county; one brother, Mr.. John Will
liams, of Roanoke; three sisters, Mrs.
w. P. Huff, of Roanoke; Mrs. Letcher
Nininger, Of Roanoke county, and Mrs.
Easter, of Norfolk; and sister-in-law,
Mrs. Hattie Williams, widow of w. w.
Williams, who died several years ago.
Mr.. Williams was from the first
recognized as an editorial writer of
marked ability. He was a fearless,
though painstaking writer, giving to
his task earnest attention and fine judC-
ment. He was a big hearted, genial
gentleman, and was one of the best
known and most popular citizens of his
native city.

-Four Essentials to Southern Agricultural
Prosperity,

If the farmers Of the South produced
all the mules, corn, hogs and hay that
are used in the South, what would be
the effect on our agriculture? 1t would
simply mean a revolution. There are
few counties in the whole South that
have railroad station or a steamboat
landing that do not buy large quantities
of two or more of these staple products.
There is no way of estimating sccur-
ately the money spent each year for
these farm products, but it is simply
enormous. All this would be retained
in the South to circulate and increase
all lines of business; but this is only one
Of the many benefits which would &C
crue. Not until we breed our own
mules can we hope to have enough of
them to do our farm work well and eco
nomically. There are no greater weak
nesses in our present system of doing
farm work than those resulting from a
lack Of mule power-the use of small,
ineffective implements and of man la
Dor which should have its place taken
by machines and mules.
AS long as corn and hay are purchased
to feed live stock, we can never hope to
keep that necessary to build up our
worn lands and consume the forage
which must be grown when a proper
crop rotation is adopted.
Hogs offer one opportunity for get
ting into live stock husbandry at a
small cost for breeding stock and there
is abundant proof that they can be pro-
duced on cheap Southern-grown feeds
at large profit over present prices.
Here, indeed, is ''money-crop" equal
to King Cotton if cultivated with the
same interest and moderate intelli-
gence.
Many of the suggestions offered for
the betterment of Southern agriculture
are rejected by Southern farmers, as
impracticable under existing conditions.
This is generally not true, the imprac-
tibility of their adoption resting entire
ly in the disinclination of our farmers;
but who will dare state that every indi-
vidual farmer in the South cannot raise
his hay, corn and hogs, and little more
for the town people of his section, if he
really wants to. Moreover, the farm
ers of the South, as q whole, can raise
all the mules used by the South, just as
soon as they want or try, to do 3d.

The News From the Stores.

The relation of the merchant to his
public is much like that of the newspa-
per man to his audience.
The public, or at least the feminine
end of it, picks up the newspaper with
as much eagerness to learn the news OF
bargains and of styles as to see what
the army is doing in Texas.
The merchant who does not respond
to this demand with good story about
his offerings and values, meets the
same fate as the newspaper man who
does not know good piece of news
when he meets it on the street.
When advertising fails to attract, II
is usually because the writer failed to
make it newsy. In this spring season
there is human interest story in every
retail business, story of the fleeing
caprices of style, of shrewd bargaining
by which the merchant bias protected
his customers, OF overstocks that help
family income go farther.
The public listens, Mr.. Merchant
Are you there?

Harry SpTatt Making Good.

Harry Spratt, a native of Richards,
who played third base with Roanoke
last year and who was drafted by Bos-
ton at the close of the season last fall is
getting away to flying start in the
National League. He is living up to
the reputation ne made in the Virginia
League as a slugger. Last year Spratt
and Holland, both of Roanoke, tied in
this league in hitting, cloutting the ball
at a POI clip.
Spratt has been showed in as a pinch
hitter four times since the National
League season opened a week ago and
twice he hit safely. This gives him the
neat little average of 800 for his first
week in the big show. When it is re-
membered that if pinch hitter gets a
bingle once in every four times up he is
doing all that is required of him. 1t
will be seen at once, how well Spratt is
performing.

West YiTginlan On The Lid.

Captain Julien Edmond Gaujot, who,
with the first United States cavalry. is
sitting on the lid at Douglas, Arizona,
protecting American lives and property
from the carelessness and recklessness
of the Mexican federalists and insur-
gents, is resident of Williamson, w.
Va. He recently came into prominence
when with detachment of his men. on
April 13, he crossed the Mexican border
and compelled the combatants to cease
fighting. after three Americans had
been killed and seven wounded, by balls
fired into Douglas by the two armies on
Mexican soil, and later took prisoner a
number of the federalists.
Captain Gaujot, though of French de-
scent, is himself a thoroughgoing
American. He was born in Michigan;
was educated and received his
military training at Virginia Poly
technic Institute, Blacksburg, Va.
He was captain in the Second West
Virginia Volunteer Infantry in the
Spanish war; a lieutenant in the 9th
U. S. volunteer infantry in the Philip
pines in 1899-'00. Later he was made a
captain in the same regiment. He was
with his regiment at the battle of San
Mateo, in which General Lawton was
killed. His brother, Corporal Antoine
Gaujot, of bis company, a few weeks
since, was voted a medal of honor by
Congress for gallsntry in action in this
engagement
Later Captain Gsujot was placed in
command of company of Maccabebee
scouts, in Luzon.
Upon his return to the States he was
commissioned lieutenant in the 10th
regular cavalry; and, at his own re-
quest, transferred to the 18th cavalry,
to join which he returned to the Philip
pines. In the Cuban election riots in
1907 he was sent to Cuba, where he re-
NAMED about one year, and since that
time for three years was stationed at
Denver with the army of the Colorado,
on the staff Of General Thomas. In 1910
he was made captain in the First cav
airy, and is now in charge of battalion
of three troops, stationed at Douglas,
Arizona.
Captain Gaujot comes of famous
fighting stock. His great grandfather
was soldier under the gallant Lafay-
cite, and fought heroically for the cause
of American freedom and independence.
He WAS retired "a a Eeutenant hv Nm
poleon in 1907. His grandfather served
"a years as French soldier, being re-
tired captain. For faithful service
his father was made a general in the
Japanese army but was never called
upon to perform duty.

Heroes.

The death of Edward A. Mosely, at a
time when the country is getting ready
to acclaim war heroes along the Mexi-
can border, suggests the reflection that
we needn't go to battle fields to find
real heroes if we have eyes to see them
elsewhere. One of Mr.. Mosely's
achievements was the passage of the
railroad safety appliance law, a meas
ure which saves more lives yearly than
would probably be lost in an entire
Mexican campaign, if by any chance
there should be trouble with that coun-
try. 1t appears that his whole life was
directed toward such ends. Yet how
many individuals, even among the rail-
road men who were most vitality con-
cerned, could tell off hand who Edward
Mosely was and what he did?-Balti-
