ELECTRICAL
DISTURBANCES.

Thunder storms throughout the
Old Dominion during the past week
have caused probably more deaths OF
swift nature than in many years
past. For the past few days there
has hardly been a state newspaper
which has not recorded daily, indi-
viduals and in some instances entire
families being killed by thunderbolts
which have fallen during the unus-
ually violent storms experienced. AT
Fredericksburg family of five
which took shelter beneath tree
was instantly killed, and a family of
four a5 Hillsville out black-berrying
and caught by storm sought the
same kind of shelter and one was Kill
led wife the three others were in
jared h. the lightning.
A.ar: from the fatalities from the
colts of Jove, number of persons
have been more or less injured by
the sar:c: while considerable damage
has resulted to property.
In other parts of the country deaths
and damagcs from electrical disturb
ar ces have been numerous. The ter
r'6c storm last Wednesday in Phia-
deiphla caused one of the greatest
scarcs from the elements the people
of the Quaker City ever experienced.
While midnight darkness prevailed
the lightning was flashing incessant-
ly and striking in many places.

Why Suffer from rheumatism!

When relief from rheumatic pains
may be had at so small cost it Is
surprising that anyone should fail to
avail himself of it. Joseph Copparelll
Canastota, N. Y, suffered intensely
with pains due to rheumatism in his
limbs for long time A friend told
him about Chamberlain's Liniment
One application relieved him won7er-
fully, and few days treatment ef-
fected a cure. Many others have
found quick relief by applying this
liniment. For sale by all dealers.

BAD BLOOD OF
POLITICS

The fact that politics cause lie
long animosity between men VINO
were previously friends is sad to
contemplate, and the institution OF
suit for SANDER by Alfred b. Will
liams against B. L. Hoge, a minister
of the gospel, the outcome of the
temperance issue, brings to MIND
some of the dismal chapters in the
annals of politics in Virginia.
The issue between the north and
south in 1861 placed former friends
in hostile camps, and in some in
stances fathers were found fighting
against sons when the dogs of war
were finally turned loose. Although
half century has elapsed since the
cruel war was brought to 4 close,
the bad blood incident thereto IS &C.
casionally in evidence. The same
unfortunate conditions were noticea-
BILE over third of century ago
when the readjuster issue was on in
Virginia.
In 1896, when the country became
divided on the free silver issue, fam
lilies, in some instances, were again
divided, and bad feeling was manifest
in too many instances.
The suit referred to above is prob
ably but ono of many other sad incl
dents which are calculated to dis
turb the waters in our old Common
wealth. Many men are conscien-
tiously favoring the abolition of liq-
uor from Virginia. Others, equally
conscientious, arc by no means con-
WINGED that any lasting good is to
result from such legislation. With
out reproducing the many arguments
which arc being used by the cham
pions of both sides, it is apparent
that before the result of the election
shall have been announced many
frictions, more or less serious, will
be deplorcd by those Of 4 conserva-
tive mould.
Many persons who are the most
enthusiastic promoters of statewide
prohibition are prone to take it for
granted that all who are not gazing
through their lenses are apostates
from Christianity on general princi-
Piles. The class thus relegated to the
company of the goats on the great
and dreadful day of assizes are by
no means disposed to accept this
classification without protest, and
they will naturally strike back.
1t is hoped that both sides will
weigh we'll their words, and that the
campaign now on between the vets
and the dries will not reproduce
scenes which married conditions in
the past. While there may be diver
gencics in our political and relig-
ious crceds, there is no good reason
why Virginians cannot always be
l:fricndly toward one another.

HIGH PRICES IN THE CO.'S.
Foodstuffs Look Cheap Today Com
pared With Those DAYS.

People who complain at length about
the constantly increasing cost of liv-
ing will be interested in certain fig
ures in an old account book in the
possession of George ID. Shaw of
Springfield, Mass. The book was used
in 1869 and forms a valuable reference
for comparing the prices of staple
groceries in those days with those of
today. OF course the Civil war Lad
driven prices far above normal, but at
the time the book was in use the war
had been over for four years and
prices should have been approaching
the regular standard of those times.
1t is found, for instance, five and
Ione-quarter pounds of sugar cost ST.
or little under 20 cents pound. A
half barrel of apples came to So an6
a pound of tea was luxury that few
could afford, since it set the buye1
back $1.40. A quarter of pound OF
nutmegs brought As cents, whereas fol
that money nowadays one could bu,
enough nutmegs to keep the famil,
supplied for half their natural lives
a gallon of kerosene oil cost 30 cent
and flour was $12 a barrel. Fiv,
pounds of sweet potatoes were 81
cents, molasses was 81 a gallon an,
butter was 4S cents pound.

for clam, is the nickname which the
villagers of Bayport, Cape Cod, give
to a writer of adventure who with his
distant cousin Hephzibah, lives a
secluded bachelor life in their midst.
The latter, typical New England
spinster of the capable, commonsense
type, idolizes "Quahaug, whose real
name is Kent Knowles. The story cen
tiers about Hephzibah's orphan niece,
whom they discover in England and
whose mind has been poisoned against
her relatives by her father. He was an
embezzler who fed from America, and
who raised his daughter with the be-
lief that Hephzibah 5 family had de-
frauded him. Throughout the book
stress is laid upon the difference be-
tween American and English ways of
living, of thinking, and of speaking.
The contrasts are drawn in humor-
Gus way and Hephzibah s experience

English servants and the English
country people, as well as the way in
which English people themselves view

they are amusing. From advertising

slams belong to different sect from the
Turks, and the two hate each other bit
terly. There are about three times as
many Moslems in India as there are in
Turkey, and they are not taking orders
from Constantinople very much. The Rus
sian Moslems have assured the Car of
their loyalty, and the leaders of the In
dian Moslem community are holding meet
ings in support of Great Britain, and
prayers for the success of the British arms
are being offered in the mosques. The
prestige of the Sultan of Turkey has not
survived the loss of all his European pos
sessions, except few square miles neal
his capital, of very much of his AsiatiC
possessions, and of practically all of hi.
African possessions.
