CASE 0E The 8ll.

Speaking of the matter now pending
in Russell county court of the voters
claiming to be enormously left off the
voting list of that county the Lebanon
News of last week says under above
caption:
Feeling in the county is very
strong against the republican off,
Gals and republican candidates who
are responsible for this disgraceful
and outrageous state of affairs and
unless the matter is rightly adjust
ed, trouble will arise, making it
dangerous for the republican candi-
dates to appear in certain parts of
the county"
How Characteristic of the News, the
paper that last fall suggested that the
names Of the brave Confederate veter-
ans who voted the Republican ticket
should be stricken from the State pen
sion rolls.
Without awaiting the courts decision
they, in blind partizan zeal, appeal to
the passions of the voters, by sugges-
ton, that If the matter is not settled in
accordance with the wishes of the par
tizan leaders of the Democratic party,
that it be made unsafe for Republican
candidates to appear in certain sections
of the county. Characteristic of De-
moeracy, hsyeyer. is it to appeal to the
prejodice and passion rather than to the
eQHnon sense of the voter.

THE yellow DOG" FUND.

At the meeting of the Virginia Press
Association held at Natural Bridge two
weeks ago, DR.. Douglas T. Freeman
delivered an address on Tax Reform
in Virginia. scathing and impressive
revelation of the defects which poison
the present taxation and assessment
policy administered by the State gov
eminent. While the whole address is
interesting, we will speak only of one
feature of it at present-what DR.. Free
man said about railroad taxation.
DR.. Freeman is not what you would
call an anti-machine man. In fact, hold
ing an appointive office in Richmond
would indicate he is lined up with the
Machine, and probably is one of those
who, as has been charged by fellow
Democrat, had to fawn on Senator Mar
TIN for his appointment. Be that as it
may, DR.. Freeman unconsciously hit
the Machine and Democratic party of
the State the heaviest blow that has
been delivered lately.
In speaking on the iniquities of the
present methods that prevail and the
desirability of a reform in connection
with the taxing of railroads, DR.. Free
man deliberately declared that the mat
ter should be left severely alone. not
because the present system is just to
the railroads or fair to the people but
because, to use his own words:
ANY attempt to change the sys-
tenn may bring down to the next
Assembly the greatest railroad lob
by in the history of the Common
wealth. You who remember the
lobbies of ancient days will cry,
with the Saxon monks, from the
fury of these Norsemen, Good Lord,
deliver US. "
Here is distinct charge, deliberately
expressed in calm review of the taxa
ton system of the State-not uttered in
the heat of anger in political debate
that the railroads had lobbied to secure
laws to their liking, and a further
charge that a Democratic legislature
cannot be trusted to give the people of
the State relief for, should reform be
attempted, there would be at the next
session of the Assembly 1.-THE greatest
railroad lobby in the history of the Com
monwealth," and from which Good
Lord, deliver u.s.
Was there ever a more pitiful exhibit
ton of the impotency of party to gov
ern itself let alone try to handle the
destinies of this grand old Common
wealth.
How long, oh, how long, will the peo-
pie of Virginia stand for such methods?
Let those who know the words of DR..
Freeman to be true unite with the Re-
publicans and Redeem Virginia

Another Letter From Mr.. STROLLER.

/ MT EOlIOrs-
The more read your paper the more
interesting it becomes. Tazewell county
is famous for its fine cattle and blue
grass pastures, for its many churches
and the deep interest the people are
taking in education. l was charmed
with its rich and varied scenery-it

and honey. Never can forget my Wis

grandmother was Miss Pendleton; nv

Carohnian's are justly proud of. Not

West, alike should be proud of them.

country, for now we are a mighty ma

When l was thirty years old 1 moved
to Missouri. Ny brother, Henry, had
already gone and bought a farm near
Calwood, Galloway county. / bought
about 400 acres near Anscuarre church.
My father, after two sons had acquired
farms and his youngest sister had
bought and built in Fulton, the county
seat of Galloway, was induced to sell
his farm in Rappahannock county and
move to Missouri. We had bought from
1000 to 1,5O0 acres of land, paying from
five to eight dollars an acre. Some of
this land within the last few years has
sold for, think, sixty dollars an acre.
We had enough negroes to work all our
land and some to hire out and monev to
pay for it all. We all felt the negroes
belonged to US and that our title to them
was recognized not only by the consti-
tuition and statutes of state govern
ments but by the United States. and
felt as well satisfied that we had a right |
to own slaves as Abraham did those
whom God gave him. My father was
always in full sympathy with the South
and never doubted the full right and
justice in holding slaves as lawful prop |
erty. My mother was such woman as
the gifted editor of the Progressive
Farmer describes in his beautiful trib-
ute to his mother and Southern women.
She believed that there were but few
people who would not mistreat those in
their power, and it would be best for
her children not to have slaves to be

Making The South A Land of
Painted FarmhOuSeS

1t is the aim of The Progressive Far
mer to start a crusade for paintino
Southern farmhouses. Not only does
painting house add greatly to it's
beauty and to the beauty of the whole
farm on which it is situated, but there
is no doubt about it that it has a subtle
psychological effect in bringing every
body on the place to a more cheerful
frame of mind.
There is something depressing about
a weatherbeaten, implanted house that
can not fail to have its effect upon the
temper and disposition of its occupants.
They can not have quite the cheerful
ness and buoyancy that comes from
beautiful surroundings with the con-
tagious suggestion of cheerfulness and
prosperity in them.
Paint the farmhouse and the farmer
will very soon decide that he must have
farm fit to keep company with the
house; he will decide that he must clean
up the ragged patches and stop the
rulnous gulleys, and cure the CALLED and
sickly spots and he will presently begin
TO take more interest in his own ap-
pearance also. 1t is impossible to tell
just how far-reaching are the effects of
properly painted and beautiful farm
house.
Nor will this good influence stop with
the individual farmer. His neigbbors
will presently become ashamed not to
have equally attractive homes for them
selves, and the neighborhood might soon
become neighborhood of painted farm
houses, and then this neighborhood
might, by the same process, awaken the
the emulation of other neighborhoods
and spread the good work still farther.
Not only is it worth while to paint
the farmhouse for the sake of the
beauty gained and also for the sake of
the cheering effect upon the persons
who live in it, but it is also worth while
as matter of simple economy. Lum-
Der is already expensive, and becoming
more SO all the time, and paint lengthens
the life of the lumber.
The South is to-day the only section
OF the country in which the painted
house is not the rule rather than the ex-
ception. There might have been some
excuse for our backwardness in this
matter when cotton was selling for or
3 cents pound and farm lands worth
81 to $40 an acre, but for the condition
to exist to-day is an Indictment of our
civilization. Our farmers have money
enough to enable them to paint their
houses and there is no excuse for their
not doing it.
We would like to have every Progress
slve Farmer reader enlist himself or
herself IN this crusade for well painted
farm houses in the South. Of course
the farmer who has had great deal of
sickness in his family or some similar
misfortune, or who is struggling to paw
on mortgage, may be excused; but we
should like for the painting habit to be-
come SO contagious among all others as
as to make people say: IF the pros
porous farmer has not painted his house.
he IS not reader of The Progressive
Farmer" And even the man who feels
that ne can not yet afford to paint, the
small farmer in debt, the tenant. can
whltewash his buildings. Whitewasb

MAGEE STAYS OUT OF GAME
National League Directors Sustain
Sentence of Player who At
tackled Umpire

CHICAGO, Aug. BY a vote of to
the board of directors of the National
Base Ball league today upheld President
Lynch in his action of filming and sus-
pending Sherwood Magee, outfielder of the
Philadelphia club, for assaulting Umpire
Finneran during a recent game with the
St. Louis team in Philadelphia, President
Lynch fined Magee $500 and suspended him
for the season.
The directors in a lengthy opinion in
which the constitution of the league on the
power of the president to enforce discipline
by imposing fines and suspending players
is quoted, sustain President Lynch, filming
Magee and barring him from the game for
the season.
Later President Murphy Of the Chicago
club filed a dissenting opinion.
The decision is based on sections 70 and
rs of the National league constitution,
which gives the president absolute power
on proper proof to suspend player for a
definite period and to impose a fine not
exceeding 500. Part of section rs provides:
Such fine can only be RENTED by the
board OF directors after q hearing on APP
peal"
Mr.. Murphy dissented because In his
opinion the intent of section 2S of the con-
stitution is TO give the board OF directors
authority not only to review any and all
acts of the president, but to rescind penal
ties inflicted in all cases, with ratafica-
ton by the league.
CINCINNATI, Aug. Ats up to the
league directors. They run base ball, so
what they say goes. but you are darned
right I'm sorry"
Sherwood Magee, who Is here with his
team, thus received the news from Chicago
this afternoon.

up to President Fogel, who will get here
probably tomorrow"
