Mr.. Floyd w. King, of Clifton
Forge, who was a candidate for
Attorney General in opposition
to Judge Samuel w. Williams,
the present incumbent, has with
drawn from the race. He was
fully convinced that be could poll
$4,000 more votes than Judge
Williams, but when two other
candidates stepped into the field
he saw his 5000 melt into the
air and he withdrew from the
race.
Judge Williams, in the mean
time is calmly attending to his
duties as Attorney General, and
from present indications it seems
evident that the people of Vir'
ginia will say well done, good

TO the. DEMOCRATS
OF VIRGINIA,

am a candidate for re-elec'
ton to the Office of Attorney
General of Virginia, subject te
the State Democratic Primary te
be held on August 5th, 1913.
During my incumbency in Of
. fee for the past three years,
have tried to redeem the pledges
which l made to the people in
my last Primary Campaign, that
if elected l would endeavor to
faithfully discharge every duty
of the Office which devolved upon
me and whilst l have had to
deal with a great many weighty
aud important matters, both in
Court and out of Court, in which
the State was interested. l have
not knowingly neglected even
the smallest matter which de.
manded my attention.
l find myself confronted with
this proposition that l will be
compelled either to neglect some
of the constantly increasing
duties and demands of the Office
or fail to make as extensive a
personal campaign throughout
the State as I would otherwise
like to do. desire to assure you
that I shall not neglect the duties
of the Office.
If reelected to this important
office, l shall earnestly endeavor
to advance and protect every in
terest of the Commonwealth and
people of the State which may
be committed to my charge. and
with which l may be called upon
to deal officially.
Upon my humble record as
boy Confederate soldier, as a life
long Democrat ever ready to re-
spond to the calls of my party,
and As a lawyer of more than
forty years practice and expert
ence, and upon the record which
l have made as Attorney General,
I earnestly appeal to the Demo-
Gratis of the State for their en-
dorsement and support in the
coming primary election.
Soliciting your valuable sup.
port and assistance in my behalf,
and hoping that you will favor
me with such suggestions as you
may be kind enough to make.
which you think may be of SER
vice to me in the campaign for
re-nomination, ! am,
Yours very truly,
SAM'L w. WILLIAMS.

Woodward Avenue is the main street

failed as partners in the clothing busi-

the other as conductor.

The first day the new crew brought

But the second day they produced
s21 in money and seventy-eight trans

The third day II was s37 and $50

threw up his hands.

From the London Grea. Thoughts.
Defoe offered Robinson Crusoe' to
publisher after publisher without success.
II was, however. at last brought out by
a publisher named Taylor. to whom it
to have made a profit of some hundred
thousand pounds by the sale Of this re-
markable book.
W. NJ. Thackeray offered his brilliant
novel, Vanity Fair" to some publishers
after 1t had run through the pages of a
magazine: but it was refused. as they
thought it was not an interesting novel
or one that would meet with a ready sale.
Jane Austen, who was undoubtedly one
Of the greatest novelists that ever lived,
met with great difficulty at the beginning
of her literary career in getting her books
printed. She sent her ''Northanger
Abbey to three or four firms, but it was
refused by all of them. At last she dis
posed of her manuscript for the small
sum of G1O to a bookseller who, II We
mistake not, had an establishment in
Bath. II turned out a splendid specula-
ton for him.
Samuel Warren's very interesting book,
THE Diary of Late Physician first
saw the light of day through the medium
of Blackwoods Magazine, the publishers
to whom he had submitted it having re-
fused to undertake its publication In book
form.
Charlotte Bronte's first novel was re-

Mrs. Harriet Reecher Stowe submitted

publishers in Washington after it had ap-
peared in serial form in an anti-slavery
magazine. but, on the Recommendation
of their reader, it was rejected. They
afterward, however. undertook the publi-
cation, and its success is universally
known. In England alone the sale has
reached something like. 10000 copies.
while in America it may be set down at
a still larger figure.
Sir Walter Scott, soon after he had fin
ished "Waverly," offered the copyright
of that novel to Sir r. Phillips. the IA

Hans Christian Anderson's "Fairy
Tales" were refused by all the publishers
in Copenhagen. He brought them out at

sufficiently known.
