lsfrd's Louisa speech and can find but
little to interest US with the exception

llards Louisa speech and can find but
little to interest us with the exception
of his attack on the primary system,
which seems to be the song of discon-
tent of most of the organization
politicians in these days
Some of the. statements are mis-
leading,if not untrue,as for instance
his statement ithat thousands of
venai voters, black and white, have
their poll taxes paid for them by men
who vote them like Sheep" and again
"in some parts of the state so many
ignorant and corrupt negroes have
been placed upon the registration
books that they threaten again to
bring back a condition which is re-
sponsible for the present blunted po-
litical consciences of so many of our
otherwise good people"
Such statements as these, even
when made by man Of Mr.. Pollard's
standing, will fall unless corroberated
by something more convincing than
his bare statement. 1T should be re-
membered that negroes are not per-
nitted to vote in Democratic prinar-
les. !
From all indications Mr.. Pollard is
not meeting with much progress in
his attempt to wrest the laurels from
Judge Williams. Recently there was
a great rally held for him in Rich
mond, his home town. According TO
the Times Dispatch, there were 255
persons present from city having a
population of $4,000 and some TO-
900 registered voters. No doubt these
255 voters out of total of TO-
900 are about the best encouragement.
Mr.. Pollard has gotten in his presen:
unfortunate campaign.
We have but little fear of the result
of the contest.Here in Alexandria in
the very opposite part of the state
from his home, Judge Williams has
hundreds of friends whom he has
met on his several visits to this city
who will take pleasure in again sup
porting him for a position on for
which he is so admirable fitted.

vance anywhere near that spot, as
would be determined by telescope and
mathematical computation, the mine
would be exploded.
Each mine in tima of war would
carry nearly 1000 pounds of the dead
Hest explosive-enough to blow up
any ship that floats.
Contrary to popular theory this
class of mines do not explode when
the ships keel strikes them,but must
be set off by the man at the instru-
ment on shore. During the Spanish
American War such mines were plant
ed, ready for use, but the boats Tor
Norfolk still ran over them.
1t is doubtful if any ship could ever
Get past the vigilant eyes at Fort
Monroe, but the War Department has
taken no chances with its plans. Mines
can be planted almost up to River
View, or even to the city itself. Ihis
is one of the reasons that the General
Frank is doing the work annually.
The Potomac is MAPPED off much in the
same manner as Chesapeake Bay,
and should any ship happen to get
past the capes, it would he wrecked
before it reached Fort Washington.
A shot from battleship in the I'M
mediate vicinity Of River View would
easily drop into the Capital.
The General Frank will remain IN
the river for more than two weeks.
Then she will go to other coast Tor
tifications to drill the men IN the same
work.

PLANT MINES IN POTOMAC.
Artillery Officers Protecting Nation
al Capital From Attack.

Following out a line of submarine
mine planting that was first adopted
during the Spanish-Amcrican war,
and later improved upon in Chcsa-
peake Bay, during subsequent nava!
maneuvers, the United States mine
planting steamer, General Frank is at
work in the Potomac river, where her
officers are planting mines in the I'M
mediate vicinity Of all forts along its
banks. This is being done, not be-
cause there are rumors of war with
Japan or Mexico or any oth:r nation,
but simply to teach tie men in the
regular artillery the value of mine
planting. Nor are The mines filled
with deadly powder or dynamite.
They are dummy mines, and ara
used merely to spot places in the river
where real mines would destroy hos
tile fleets.
The General Frank makes an an
nual visit to the Potomac to teach
The heavy artillery at Fort Washing
ton and other points the proper WY
of safeguarding the Capital. At pres
ent the Seventeenth Company has
been designated for instruction. Sew
eral hours each day the men may be
seen placing dummy mines below The
level of the water, and connecting
them by battery wires to the stations
on shore.
The main plan OF the mine plant
ing to protect the nations capital Is
somewhat as follows:
An enemy's fleet would have to
come through the mouth of Chesa-
peake Bay into the Potomac to reach
Washington. At the mouth of the
bay, the two capes-Henry and
| Charlss-are used as outposts and
mine-planting stations are already
established there. Fort Monroe, a
! few miles from these capes. might
with It's huge guns, protect the en-
trance to Hampton Roads, but M
chances are taken. The tug Reno,
! stationed at Fort Monroe, would take
care of the Chesapeake region ane
plant mines in the channel to Wash
;ngton. These mines are connected
with electric wires with the station
at Fort Monroe, and each mine is
numbered. Chesapeake Bay is la't
out in squares, each numbered, thu:

officer in charge of any set OF mine:

JUDGE WILLIAMS THE
LOGICAL CANDIDATE.

With barely three weeks elapsing
before the Democratic primary on
August 5th, in which the candidates
for Lieutenant Governor, Attorney
General and Commissioner of Agri-
trulture;nrwill be selected, the inter-
est shown by the voters, at large, is
small, and indications are that
very light vote will be cast. Dis
missing the race for Lieutenant Gov
ernor from our mind as one in which
it is apparent that there is no real
contest, the real interest in the CAM
paign seems to be confined to the
campaign for attorney general, where
two candidates, John Garland Pol
lard, of Richmond, and S. Gordon
Cumming, of Hampton, are contest
inc for the office at present held by
Judge Samuel w. Williams, the pres
emf incumbent. While both of the
men seeking Judge Williams position
have ability and character, we have
seen no good reasons advanced why
they are in any way better or even
as we'll qualified to become the attor-
ney general of Virginia than the man
who has so couragcously, consclenti-
ously and ably filled the position for
tho mast four wears.
It seem to US that after man has
been elected to an Office which re-
ouires considerable time with which
to familiarize himself with its duties
that certainly as dong as ne fills the
position satisfactorily he should be
permitted to succeed himself for at
least one term, unless there are much
better reasons than are advanced, IN
the present instance, for change
This point is made more convlnc-
ing after reading the opening speech
of Mr.. Pollard, one of the candidates,
ut Louisa Court House, yesterday.
Mr.. Pollard recites the great cost
n the candidates in state pr)rarles
and the disadvantages to which
man of small fortune is put under
This is undoubtedly true and must be
felt by Judge Williams, who four
wears ago had to spend a large por-
ton of his four years salary In or
der to pay his campaign expenses and
again this year is compelled to enter
another expensive race.
Judpe Williams was electea to the
posiiion which he fills after spirited
contest and has since made most eX
ceIlent official. Bringing to bear
sptendidly trained mind, quick ano
sppreciative intellect, sterling integrity
and strong constitution which ha;
enabled him to meet the arduous re
ouirements of his office, he has made
few mistakes, and the only criticism
of his four years administration
comes from those whom he has force'

store her to health failed. | also wish to thank
my neighbors and friends for their thoughtful-

will not soon be forgotten; they will aid me to
submit to the will of Him who doeth all things
well, and since it was not His Will for her to re-
main with us, she was called to a home beyond

"UNDER THE STARS"
Christmas Carol.

Christmas Carol.
Under the stars, one holy night
A little babe was born;
Over His head a star shone bright,
And gistened till the morn.
And wise men came from far away,
And shepherds wandered where He lay
Upon his lowly bed of hay,
Under the stars one night.
Under the stars, one blessed night,
The Christ-child came to earth,
And through the darkness broke the light
OF morning at His birth.
And sweet hosannas filled the air,
And guardian angels watched Him wher
The virgin mother knelt in prayer,
Under the stars one night.
Under the stars, this happy night
We wait for Him once more,
And seem to see the wondrous sight,
The shepherds saw Of yore.
o, baby born in Bethlehem,
Come to see us as you came to them,
And crown us with loves diadem
Under the stars tonight.
