ORIGINAL VERSE
Fifty Years.


IT'S fifty years the blood and tears
The terror and the woe,
Wild wars alarms. the cali to arms
Twas fifty years ago.
When Sumter fell. when shot and shell
Assailed the nations guard,
Patriots awoke. and Valor spoke
And Loyalty kept ward.
Then Ger the land, uprose band
OF stalwart men and brave.
And marched away in wars array,
To rescue and to
Bright youth there. with eager air,
And manhood stern and strong
When forth they went with high intent
To battle with the wrong.
Through binding tears with anguished fears
Sad women watched alone,
Fond mothers prayed and true wives stayed
To guard and keep the home.
Four fearful years of blood and tears,
The battle cloud hung DER
The darkened land. On every hand
Wild ragged brothers war.
In prison pen. mid swamp and fen.
BY bayou and by bay,
In thcket dense, foul Pestience
Stalked forth and claimed its prey
The cannon roared the unsheathed sword
Flashed and bit deep. and all
The streams ran red. The sky overhead
Hung like a funeral PAIL
But not in vain the leaden rain
The spilled heroic blood,
The patriots God gave rich reward.
Firm fixed the Union stood
IT'S fifty years. The battle scars
That marred Columhias breast
King Time hath healed. The book L. sealed "a.
The nation is at rest.
Our gallant foe OF long ago
To-day brother stands
Each honors each. Ger the closed breach
The Blue and Gray clasps hands
But Ter still remember we'll
Where through long years and slow
Drcan,Iess and still they lie, who fell
Some fifty years ago.
Comrades of old. true hearts of gold,
Together let stand
With heads low bent, all reverent
Upon this holy land.

Above the verdant bed
Where sleep these brave, who died to save
Their dead, our deathless dead

"A HOT TIME IN THE OLD TOWN

Sunday was the hottest day OF the summer.
Parks and porches were crowded; pulpits spoke
to perspiring multitudes (?), and everywhere
the populace discussed the allabsorbing non
escapable heat.
But, after all, Richmond has cause for graft
tude. 1t has numerous breathing spots scat
tered over the city, where we may find green
grass and shady trees and fresh. pure air; its
larger parks are easy and cheap of access, its
suburbs are spacious and shaded and restful:
its water is so pure that one may drink as much
and as often he pleases. Above all, a fine,
fresh breeze famed the face all day and saved
the situation for the sweltering masses
AS hot as it seemed here. Richmond wasn't

GETTING ON A BUSINESS BASIS.

We learn from the Neios and Observer that
quated fee system and introduced the modern
method OF salary compensation. The new law
went into effect the first Monday in June and
henceforth the schedule OF salaries will be as
follows: Sheriff, 32.75o: clerk of court 1850:
register OF deeds. $4,000; treasurer. $4,000, and
auditor. $500.
We agree with The Indsr-A ppedI, the Neteport
Nescs Press, and practically all the newspapers
OF the State that the time has come for Virginia
to abolish this fee system. with its abuses. and
to place the various Offices upon the business
plane Of definite and sufficient salary coznpen-
sstion for fabors performed.
We understand, Of course. the argument that
the payment OF fees tends to efficiency in the
conduct OF the once. inasmuch as It makes the
occupants compensation dependent upon his
f2ithfulness and energy On the other hand
this system creates compensations out of all
keeping with the duties and demands OF the of
Acs. and We incline to the view that 1t would be
fairer to the State and fairer to the public, II
the cdice-hoider were paid a salary proportion
TO hts worth. and the surplus employed In
rublic improvements and for the general good
w would adopt in every instance liberal
sr1sdple ~ salaries; salaries IS large as the

SORROW IN THE MIDST OF 10Y.

Just the chapel bell called the people to
the commencement sermon in Ashland Sunday
William S. Brown, the Secretary and Treasurer
of Randolph-Macon College, and most active
and useful citizen of Ashland, passed away.
For eight years he has held his important
connection with the college, has discharged his
duties with signal ability and fidelity, and has
contributed much to the successful history OF
the institution during those years. He was
moreover. a philosophical and useful citizen
of the town, serving the interests of Ashland
in many ways
The Firginian extends to the Randolph Ma
con College its sincere sympathy and deplores
the fact that the closing festivities of another
college year should be interrupted and marred
by so sad and SO great calamity.

The Time OF Opportunity.

THIS is certainly period for doing things in
tho South. 1t is also epoch Of quick COM
prehcnsion and pointed realization. 1t has been
generally understood for some time that no city
can afford to stand still, but 1t Is being
realized with force. too, that city can even
anora to walk along. No. the city that intends
first is the city that leaps and bounds for
ward and does not let hands hang Idle by its
side. but reaches out for things. With the
clear realization Of what's needed the cities Of
the South understanding that o bond issue
is no longer something to be dreaded and to
be stunned, but that it Is something that means
more business. Time was when the average
man looked upon the idea Of bond issue with
ave. and to think that he would have to pay a
OF calamity but as the world has progress
ed from the dark age. and as genius has brought
greater achievements, why. so has progress been
made In this direction. 1t has really been an
education. The people at first conquered the
dread OF going to school, and then though Diff
hcuit on the start. learned the lesson well. 1t
was Ike taking a business course; the prob
lens that they did not understand and which
they had encouraged with difficulty were made
easy Tor them to solve. They soon were Taught
what were really simple mathematical deduc-
tons and they saw If by spending a few cents
more In taxes they could reap few more dol
lars in benefits that it was wise to make the
expenditure. They realized that it was like in
vestlng money in something which could be sold
a. profit They understood that, like some big
business it takes credit to finance 1t, though
such investment for city is by far more i'm
portant and by far safer than that for any pri-
vate enterprise.
North Carolina cities to the front with
such understanding. too, and 1t Is fine to note
this. There time when small bond issues.
$4,000 and perhaps $4,000. were all advo-
Gated, but now what chance. Here Is Win
ston going to pass a bond issue of over
$500 GOO for municipal improvements, and Wake
county Is soon to vote 100000 bond issue
for good roads We believe that both city and
county will vote the bond issues. Certainly the
Winston man had better spend dollar two
each year in extra taxes than to give up ten
times such an amount in effort TO obtain
something equally good what the bond
issue money would have obtained. Surely,
Wake county people rather have small extra
taxation than to have to spend much more
than that in order to obtain the same ends.--

1acoma's Anti Treating Law.

Tacoma, in the State of Washington, has an
ant-treating law which forbids one person from
buying drink for another in a saloon. Taco
ma is also going to that the law Is enforced.
or is making big blum in that direction just
at present. because twenty-one arrests were
made OF saloonkeepers who had permitted treat
ing IN their saloons. Dire vengeance Is also
threatened on those who permit 1t in future 1t
mas long been contended that one of the obsta-
cles In the way of solving the liquor problem.
as a practical question Is the habit OF treat
ing which not only depletes a persons pocket
book. but often lures men to swill booze when
they really don't for 1t. Sociability stretch
ed to the point of one fellow paying for an
other'a drink and vice versa, matter Of
reciprocity, and then lots OF vice versus, as the
result of congeniality, under the stimulation of
beer or whiskey, develops into hilarity and reck-
lessncss. This. 1t has frequently been argued.
is one of great extremes that brings about de-
bauchery and forces infringement a person s
rights Whether all this Is so or not Is lust
according to persons way of thinking, and
how far he stretches the moral point In good
working form with practicability At any rate.
1t must be admitted that treating Is of the
greatest evils connected with the saloon. The
practice of some fellow being so generous heart
him. when he wouldn't think of buying steak
head of cabbage for his companion in
case he wanted to make such purchase while
they were out stroiling Or of crowd of young me
collecting In front of the polished top counter
and each thinking that he must order round
OF drinks, to the tune of dollar over per
round. has always stood as a grim spectre in
the way of the cafe business. individual
right II such construction be placed upon it.
Tacoma's experience with an anti-treating law
will be watched with interest. First the pos
Sihilites OF such a law to enforcement and
the Willingness of saloonkeepers to uphold the
law, viii be loked at. and then the absolute re-
suit on consumption and rowdyism Will be noted
Whether one Is willing to coneede or not that
