The Heaviest Cannonade Ever Heard in
America.

In the July American Magazine tn,
| fftieth anniversary OF The battle o.
Gettysburg, which comes ON July /, il
celebrated with an unusual description
of the battle by Edgar Allen Forbes
Coming to the third day of the battl,
Mr.. Forbes writes in part:
'The great hour of Gettysburg is al
hand-the hour of the evening sacrifice
The cannoneers on Seminary Ridge are
| grouped behind hundred ma ssed guns
| facing another hundred on Cemetery
Ridge, a mile distant. Pickett, his long
black hair falling about his shoulders,
rides up to Lee and reports that his
division is ready. Longstreet also is
there, moody and silent, but inwardly
rebellious.
AN order from Alexander, chief of
artillery, sends the cannoneers to their
posts behind the cruel engines of death.
Two puffs of smoke and flame shoot out
from the Washington artillery, and the
work of hell begins with solid shot and
shell on both sides. For two long
hours the overture continues in a deaf
ening roar-'the heaviest cannonading
ever heard on the American continent.
THE fire of neither side does any
serious harm to the sheltered infantry,
but the shells scatter death and de-
struction among the batteries, where
the sound of exploding caissons alone
browns the pitiful neighing of wounded
horses. At the Bloody Angle where
Pickett's blow is to fall heaviest, here
is what is happening:
Lieutenant Cushing, of battery A.
fourth L. :. artillery, challenged the
admiration of all who saw him. Three
of his limbers were changed with the
caisson imbers under fire Several
wheels were shot off his buns and re-
placed. till at last-severely wounded

PEOPLES FORUM
THE Enabling Act"

Editor of The Nirginian:
Much has been said for and against the
enabling act, which has been ana is one
Of the great issues before the people of this
state and one that should be settled during
the next session of the Legislature. provided the
peoples rights protected. giving them a.
voice in their own affairs, which many oppose
either for personal gain or being mislead
through ignorance, which in either case mars
the advance of morality and retains cloud of
shame over ITS present generation and blocks
the progress of freedom for the future genera
ton.
Men of conviction should speak now for or
against this principle before the Democratic
primary, which occurs on August 5th. that men
of their faith shall voice their wishes at Rich
mond because after the primary the machinery
for action viii have been installed. and II Is
much easier to hold man In line Of the same
faith than to change him by logical argu-
ment.
/ Various forms Of language to defraud the
people 'of That which belongs 10 thenf have been
used. and up to the present time this fraud
has fourished and theNpeople have suffered by
it, All reforms grow very slowly. but the peo-
pie gradually demanding justice and soon
those whose chief occupation is to block their
progress Will be driven from public trust and
servants of the people substituted.
Some candidates and other persons have set
tied the question for themselves by claiming
this act to be unconstitutional This expana-
ton is SO simple tha1-nn -sanIla- minded sssass
VIII offer any reply for 1t needs none because
the people are sovereign and their decision is
greater than the constitution any question.
for they have the power to alter the constitution
whenever they desire.
Others have settled the question for them
selves with the statement that local option is
the only solution of the liquor traffic allowing
each locality to voice the sentiment that shall
control the right to sell whiskey, This defense
is not logical, but absolutely absurd, unless Of
fered by crazy man, which would in that case
/ be looked after with a treatment to cure him
or give the people protection under local option
laws that they have been deprived of up to
this time. Those making this defense claim
that any county has not the right to dictate
to city to stop the sale of whiskey by their
vote otherwise, If they keep the effects of
their goods from disturbing the peace and dig
nifty Of the adjoining counties that are dry, then
they free from interference by the counties,
for does mans freedom when he dis
turbs his neighhor? is this true in every
tother walk Of life?
Suppose two farmers live on adjoining farms;

THEY LIKE EACH OTHER.

Frequently after the public congratulations
and exchanges Of compliments between visitors
and hosts come whispers aud murmurings and
haltsupprcssed muttcrings indicating some
hidden discord or dissatisfaction. Accus
toned to this. we have waited before ar
irving ut a final conclusion on the visit Of the
Richmond Blues to the Valley and Basic City
No suggestions Of resentments have come from
either side To the contrary, all tho news We
get from public statements and personal ex
perlences, is pleasant It is evident that the
Basic City ana Valley people the affection
ard respect of the Richmond soldiers and that
ne Blues deserved and attained the cordial good
will Of the Valley people,
This situation while not unexpected or m
deserved. Is gratifying to Richmond. The city
Il proud of all her militiamen aud all of them
10 her credit when they 20 abroad. The Blues,
However, are our oldest and, on grea occasions,
our most spectacular organization. Therefore
the city has special interest In them. All Rich
mond is pleased and grahfied to know that
these Virginia gentlemen and soldiers and, con
sdcring past history, nothing higher could be
said Of any men won for themselves the kindly
approval of the fine people of the Valley and
50 carried themselves that the wish that they
will 20 again is unanimous. As to the Blues 1T
is fair to say. they wish for themselves nothing
better than 10 bo sent again next summer to

la fence between them protects their belongings
all goes well until the cattle of disturbs the
crop of the other, what then? A law suit gen
orally follows and the law says: Cattle on
your ground all right. but on your neighbors
ground all wrong Then / say: "Whiskey In
Petersburg or Richmond all right but Rich
mond and Petersburg's whiskey in adjoining
counties all wrong, and l might add that in
making this statement / would not justify the
sale of whiskey anywhere, but am only reply
ing to local option views"
Others endeavor to Justify the sale of whis-
key for revenue purposes This too, is very
foolish and l will answer by saying: How
have the dry counties lived without the reve-
nue?' They richer and the people have no
fear of a barroom going UP to trap their cnii-
dren and to suck their manhood and their brain
from them.
If the secular papers of this State were asked
to write editorial the subject of mother
hood and her claims the state, and II our
so-called statesmen were to deliver an address
on this subject. would hear her character
ruled the State by her clean hand and tender
heart, and then If the question were to put to
these papers and statesmen asking them to al
low to women of this State to settle the en-
aiding act, some of them would suddenly be
driven blind some of their tongues would be
the woods rather than eat their own language;
they would be ashamed to he caught handling
a question to deceive the people.
In conclusion. let all honest men stand to-
gether this and all other questions that con-
Germ at this time. that may lift the
died will continued to become darker, and We
Will have hope of success to offer chill
dren. only to ask them to do what refused

AN ARGUMENT FOR MATRIMoNY.

That married men live longer than bachelors
is the conclusion reached by the Journal Of the
American Medical association in a learned arti-
Gle in its most recent issue The lower death
rate among benedcts, the Journal points out, Is
due largely to the fact that married men live
more regular lives than single men. Further,
the Journal asserts that widowers pine away
and die" at speedier rate than the bachelors.
Says the Journal: This view is corroborated
by statistics as to the mortality among married
men who have lost their wives either by death
or divorce The mortality rate among widowers
and the divorsd is almost double that Of mar
ried men of TIE same age
The moral is obvious and presents a further
strong reason for imposing a special tax on
bachelors
