Danville, Va, Oct. 25.-The one

sion of the Synod of Virginia Of the

came to a close yesterday evening.
The various reports submitted show
that the past year has been one of

The session Of he evening was de-
voted largely to the interest of the
Bible cause, and Rev. ]. Calvin Stuart,
d. d., of Richmond, chairman of the
committee on Bible cause, presiding
during that time.
Special interest centered in the re-
port of the special committee to which
was referred the paper on Cathol-
icism, which Rev. J. c. Painter sub
mitted to the synod on Thursday. Ow-
ing to the crowded condition of the
docket and the many items of business

The Busy Beaver.

Enos A. Mills. the author of an
Beaver World" sums up the beavers
character thus:
AS animal life goes, that of the
beaver stands among the best His life
is full of industry and is rich in repose
He is home loving and avoids fighting.
His lot is cast in poetic places.
He Is practical. peaceful and industri-
Gus. He builds permanent house and
keeps it clean and in repair Beside it
he stores food for the long winter. He
takes thought for the morrow. These
and other commendable characteristics
give him a place Of honor among the
hordes of homeless. hand to mouth
folk of the wild. During the winter
he has but little to do except battle
and eat his two or three meals day
from the food he has stored in au-
tumn. Toward spring. when his wild
neighbors are lean. hungry and cold.
he is fat and comfortable In the
spring he energies from the house,
but then his only work is occasion
ally to cut a twig for food In the
summer he plays tourist. He visits 9TH
er colonies and wanders up and down
streams, going miles from home In
the late summer or early autumn he
returns. makes repairs and harvests his
food for the winter.

COME AGAIN

The Herald's invitation to the
public to use it's columns to give
their ideas wide circulation re-
suited in three communications
all of which were published in
the last issue. The Herald has
tried many times to get this idea
moving. but with poor success.
The Herald wants the public to
use its columns. That's what a
newspaper is for. 1t helps make
the paper better and more read
able. Many valuable ideas may
be communicated to the public in
this way. Discussions of sub
jects of interest may be carried
on which will prove valuable to
all who read. A newspaper is
in one sense a public institution.
Try his level best, the editor of
a newspaper cannot cover the
territory nor can he please every
body. TT public can help
greatly by sending in communi-
cations for publication. And by
helping the newspaper that way
the public can help the commun-
ity. The Herald is sure that all
three of h e communications
printed last week were read
with interest and that The Her.
aid was better paper because
it contained them. So come
again, but be sure to sign your
name.
Since the above was written a
communication has been receive
ed from DR.. J. M. McMasters,
whom all Sank Centre knows
but to love. This communica-
ton appears on the first page of
this issue, and though it contains
criticism of The Herald yet space
is gladly given it. It is written
in the doctors best vein and
adds materially to the attract
i've features of this weeks issue.
The Herald does not object to
criticism, but it prefers to have
it made openly over the critics
signature. Communications are
always welcome.

sheridan,s Double Marriao.-

1t was in 1857 that the Gretna Green
marriages were made illegal A glance
at it's registers may yet inspire the
novelist of the future. One entry will
be sure to puzzle. Twice within a few
days occurs the record of the marriage
Of Richard Brinsley Sheridan to Miss
Grant. There was only one r. B. s..
only one bride for the same gentleman
The double entries are not the result of
any blunder on the part of the Rev.
Mr.. Vulcan. The parties were really
twice married at Gretna Green. Arriv-
ing on Sunday they were duly we'd
aed and sped away to Edinburgh.
There, however. Sheridan CHANGED to
glance at a newspaper in which ap-
peared the lucubrations of a lawyer.
In these plainly stated was the fact
that no contract executed on Sunday
Is binding. Clearly. then. their wed.

on a week day and leave the dual rec
ord to perplex later generations.-St

about to set them free by removing
the trammels of the protective tariff.
Ever since the civil war they have
waited for this emancipation and for
the free opportunities it will bring
with it. It has been reserved for us
to give it to them. Some fell in love,
indeed, with the slothful security of
ment; some took advantage of the shell
ter of the nursery to set up mimic
mastery of their own within it's walls.
Now both the tonic and discipline of
liberty and maturity are to ensue.
There will be some readjustments Of
purpose and point of view. There will
follow a period Of expansion and new
enterprise. freshly conceived. 1t Is for
us to determine now whether it shall
be rapid and facile and of easy accom-
plishment. This it cannot be unless
the resourceful business men who are
to deal with the new circumstances
are to have at hand and ready for use
the instrumentalities and conveniences
of free enterprise which independent
men need when acting on their own
initiative.
Constructive Craftsmanship.
1t is not enough to strike the shack
les from business. The duty of states
manship is not negative merely. 1t is
constructive also. We must show that
we understand what business needs
and that we know how to supply it.
No man, however casual and super
fetal his observation Of the conditions
now prevailing in the country, can fail
to see that one of the chief things
business needs now and will need in
creasingly as it gains in scope and
vigor in the years Immediately ahead
Of US is the proper means by which
readily to vitalize its credit. corporate
and individual, and its originative
brains.
What will it profit us to be free if
we are not to have the best and most
accessible instrumentalities Of COM
merce and enterprise? What will it
profit us to be quit of one kind Of
monopoly if we are to remain in the
grip of another and more effective
kind? How are we to gain and keep
the confidence of the business COM

Mr.. Speaker, Mr.. President, Gentle

compulsion of what seems to me
clear and imperative duty that l have
a second time this session sought the
privilege of addressing you in person.
l know, OF course, that the heated sea-
son of the year is upon us. that work
in these chambers and in the commit
tee rooms is likely to become burden
as the season lengthens and that every
consideration of personal convenience
and personal comfort, perhaps, in the
cases of some of US, considerations Of
personal health even, dictate an early
conclusion Of the deliberations Of the
session. But there are occasions of
public duty when these things which
touch us privately seem very small.
when the work to be done is so press
ing and so fraught with big conse-
quence that we know that we are not
at liberty to weigh against it any point
Of personal sacrifice. We are now in
the presence Of such an occasion. 1t
is absolutely imperative that we should
give the business men of this country
banking and currency system by
means of which they can make use Of
the freedom Of enterprise and of indi-
vidual initiative which we are about
to bestow upon them.

The freedom of the press has
again been established, this time
by a Colorado Judge who asserts
that it is a fallacy to think that
just because the Judge wears the
robes of office he is above criti-
cism. This wise and just judge
has no sympathy for the jurist
who hales a newspaper editor in
to court for contempt because
the latter dares to criticise a
wearer of the ermine. Would
there were more such judges.

There are natures in which, if they
love us, we are conscious of having
sort of baptism and conservation;
they bind us over to rectitude and pur-

our sins become the worst kind of
sacrilege, which tears down the in
visible altar of trust.-George Eliot.

Sickrcom Screen,

A screen in the sickroom is almost
Indispensable. for it is needed to keep
light from the patients eyes. to guard
the bed from drafts, or shut out the
sight of medicine bottles and so forth.
An excellent sanitary screen is made
by lacking white oilcloth on to a
frame, then painting on in oil pretty
scene as birds or butterflies. These
scresns can be washed as often as
necessary.
