-Aspld Kentucky Sweetheart.

FRANK Monroe Beverly
You see my years many, for my hair IL
turning gray
My steps are unsteady that I falter by the
way
My eyes are growing naistv--but shall ne,.r
forget
My old Kentucky sweetheart-may she be liv
ing yet?
Twas in the early sixties before the war
broke out
L courted Jane McThomas two years or nigh
about;
And all my love gave her--I had no doubts
fears
The debt of love she paid in fuIl--paid it with
all Of hers
Then came the cruel; I listed for the
South.
And marched away to battle with comrades
brave and proud.
To face the sereechng bullets to hear the
cannons loud.
My mind would keep a-wanderIng TO her left
behind:
wished that might send her on passing
breezes kind
Some loving words TO cheer her and TO tell
her that my heart
Would he forever with her though we should
drift apart.
We sought the raging hattie. my comrades
brave and T.
Resolved that glorious victory we there wound
win die:
Alas alas around me my comrades gan to
fall
The god stern Of battle sent out for them
a call.
We but dear that viot'ry, II claimed our
brave and true
We saw that wars grim terrors were hereer
than knew
For countrys honor and for our country,s
right.
We'd wage the fercest battle we'd make our
earnest fight
Through four long years Of fighting we brave
ly the foe.
My old Kentucky sweetheart of her could not
know:
But hope lived in my bosom through all those
cruel years.
'Twoud check my tears when rising, and quiet
all my fears.
And when the war was over my home proud
ly sought.
Though we were not the victors-our efforts
came to naught;
War is a game uncertain. our enemies had
won
Yet we'd been true TO country our duty we
had done.
But when | reached my homeland, my heart
grew faint and sore
For every breeze In passing would whisper
Never more"
Ny old Kentucky sweetheart had vanished from
the land
And neer friend kinsman was there to
give hand.
OF waiting I've grown weary--the years bring
not my love:
think for me she's waiting In that fair land
above.
And when the Father calls me--this dreary
life Is DER
My old Kentucky sweetheart will meet me
at the shore.

CENTENNIAL OF MONUMENTAL CHURCH.

In many respects the centennial celebration of
Monumental church. which will take place to-
night, is Of interest not only as religious event
uunity. The church will celebrate its one hun
dredth anniversary-it Ia one of the Oldest con.
gregations in yirginia--and has had notable
career 1t is great church. and through its
various auxiliares has done. and Is doing,
great work Coupled with the interest In the
centennial Of the church itself is the fact that

A GOOD MAN RETTRE,S.

The announcement that State Dairy and Food
Commissioner ". d Saunders is to tender his
resignation shortly to Governor Stuart is mat
ter of no little regret to those who have been in
close touch with the man and his work Mr.
Saunders resignation is TO become effective
July LIST, and on that date he will go to Blacks
burg to take charge of the dairy department of
the Virginia Polytechnic institute, with the idea
of greatly enlarging its present scope of activity
Al the head Of the dairy and pure food division
of the State agricultural department Mr.
Saunders has done great work and one which
is appreciated most by the men 1t most benefits
the farmers. The loss of the services of so vau-
able an official TO the State is tempered by the
fact that the State, after ALL is not to lose him.
At the head Of the " p. l. dairy department
with free handMr. Saunders will possibly be
in position to do greater work for Vir-
ginla. He will DO his best-we are certain OF
that.-and his work will make itself felt in the
future as 1t has in tho past.

A Washington Judge.
r oanoke Times.

Washington is looked upon IN the North as a
typical Southern city. and is even regarded by
many Southerners; and yet We are inclined to
believe that its claim in this regard is geogra-
phicai rather than based on the spirit of its
people
For several Years negro Judge has presided
over one of Washngtons municipal courts, and
has passed sentence alike whites and blacks
WashinEtonians have taken this seemingly as a
matter of course. The only protests that have
been made have from individuals and
small groups of residents, Recently the term
of this judge. whose name is Terrell expired and
he designated for reappoiEtment by Presi-
dent Wilson. Senator Nardanan of Mississippi
Senator Smith of South Carolina, and other
Southern senators began movement for re-
fusa by the senate to approve the nomination
but this received support from the people of
Washington. A vote forced on the nomina-
ton Friday, and Terrells appointment was con-
hrTned.
The apathy Of the white residents of Wash
ington will doubtless be looked upon in the
North broad -mindedness" At any rate II
should disprove and for all the assertion
that Washington is "typicaily Southern II

would submit to conditions which would place

demanding and which two preceding administrA
tons seemed to have been utterly powerlcss to
accomplishments Is the breaking up of gambling
at the jamestown Norfolk How was 1t
done? Why simply by using the authority of
the State to aid in the execution Of law which
was based upon high moral ground, but the vio-
iation Of which had long condone for political
purpose. The present governor and attorney
general of Virginia bound to go up higher IL
they continue to discharge their official duties
as they are now doing. ably honestly and alb
soluteiy impartially."
Now what few Of the facts In regard to
the efforts of past State administrations to break
up this gambling? Simply that all was done
possible to be done under the then existing con-
oitons. The local justice before whom the case
WAS taken refused to convict. The authorities
making the effort were thereby estopped from
dtions under which the recent proceedings were
takeno The recent legislature elected new
Judge for the Norfolk County Circuit The same
to make appointment of an additional justice for
that magsterial district. PROCEEDINGS were
brought before this ustice and convictions
resulted. So by the acts Of the recent legsla-
ture, the present administration OF the State
were enabled to do what past administrations
could not do. Therefore credit first should be
given the legislature for making 1t possible for
Inc present adm nstration to do that which
former administrations could not do.
II is only fair that those who would criticise
should state all the facts and not Just those
which might enable them to cast reflections
where none would lie with all the facts given

CONDITION MISS
CRUMP PULLING

The extent of her injuries still a
question in the minds of her ply
sicians Miss Myrtle Crump, of 1909
West Cary street, who was badly hurt
Friday afternoon. when run over by
a team near Fourteenth and Main
streets. was yesterday morning trans
ferred from the Virginia to the Grace
hospital. 1t was stated at the latter
hospital last night that she was rest
ing comfortably and appeared to be
improved
Physicians yesterday made an X-ray
photograph of Miss Crump's head and
ascertained that her. skull was not
fractured by the hoofs Of the frighten-
ed beasts. They were unable to tell
definitely, however, whether she had
suffered serious internal injuries. Her
body was badly bruised and cut as
she was dragged over the stone paw
ing by the wagon tongue, which had
struck her and had caught in her
clothing.

The Norfolk Race Track CASE.

the work they did In breaking up the gambling
at the Norfolk track. They merit all the
praise which has been bestowed upon them But
why should il be necessary i'll meeting out to
them their just dues to so out OF the way to
say something about past administrations even

and negligent has been tried to make them
appear? But when the facts in the case do not
beat out the slurs which have been cast, either
through ignorance or worse, 1t is time to call a
halt. In this connection quote below one of
these slurs which recently appeared in the
