After not quite nineteen
months of life. the Jacksonian,
an advocate of what is now term
ed Regular" D Democracy,
breathed IFS last with its issue
Of May 10,-but not "Unwept,
Unhonored and Unsung," for
the iJacksonian in its short life
advocated many things that
were good. But recently that
paper took stand for the re,elec.
tionof Judge Sam @. Williams
of the Supreme bench-which
laudable action may have had
something to do with its demise,
as the so-called regular Democ-
racyEhas not yet abandoned its
intention to redeem the State"
IN August, as an earnest hope OF
what IL intends to do in the No.
yember election. Anyhow, we
are sorry to see the Jacksonian
.die-for while it might occasion
ally do some good, surely it
could accomplish nothing in it's
opposition to political indepen-
dence in the State. The paper
was ever bright and readable,
for Sam Stockard Yields a tren.
chant and facile pen. The paper
was given grand send-off by its
employees Aas it was laid to restn
amid tears and laughter, as we
learn from the paper itself in
writing ito own obituary in it's
issue. The Jacksonian has
perhaps died out Of a harder
time than 1t ever had before.

Tuesday night at 9 o'clock the

fire alarm summoning the fire
laddies to the cross street lie;

the site of the old MachineShop,
the residedce Of Fireman Alb, J..
England having been discovered
to be burning and the family
away from home.
The response was so oready that
o part Of the frame work Of the
cottage home was saved, as was
some Of the furnishings which
were carried just Gown the street
to the home Of James E. Arnold
aud deposited on the front porch
in q much damaged condition.
The cause OF the absence Of the
England family from their home
wias the illness Of MIR. England's
mother, Mrs. DR.. j. b. Epgland,
at Luray, who was bitten by .
spider some days before. Mrs.

being attributed to falling

Nine Days I'm Florida.

thlrd OF May, the Progress edl-
tor, in company with Messrs.
James A. Henry and W. v.
Winslow, left Lexington for
Jacksonville, Florida, via Nash
vile Sunday night and until II
O'Clock a. m. Monday was spent
in our always interesting capitol
city, where the Goddess of Luck
began to lavish her smiles, as
evidenced be the gift of box of
tip-top cigars by Mr.. Arch Ira
wick, the very prince Of good
fellows and member of the pros.
porous tobacco and grocery
house, Phillips, Trawick & Co..
who do business in the Cummins
Station and who are represented
in this territory by Mr.. Will L.
Noel, of Huntingdon.
Before leaving Nashville, we
knew that our good friend, Mr..
j. o. Cheek, President of the
Cheek Neal Coffee Company,
had written his son, Leon, in
charge Of the Cheek Neal Coffee
Company plant at Jacksonville,
that we were coming and asking
that he extend to US all posi-.
BILE courtesiss during our sojourn
10 the metropolis Of the original
"Oracker" state. We can say
now as we'll as at anytime and
with as much truth as can be
embodied 10 any statement,
that 10 Mr.. J. o. Cheek 10 found
the highest type of business man
and citizen--and that his sons,
Robert, Of Nashville. and Leon,
of Jacksonville, Florida, are
"chips off the old block"
After weary waiting at the Un-
ion Station gate, lest the train
pull out without our trio, we
steamed out of Nashville with
just eighteen coaches Headed
to the guards" hundreds Of the
passengers being Confederate
veterans, some Of whom had
lived to the great age of past
eighty years and yet were look
ing forward with delight tothe
annual reunion of the surviving
few who foughtin the civil war
of l881,65. In spite Of. the enor
nous load, comparatively good
time was made and before night
fall the long train was speeding
through northern Georgia, the
stop at DhattenoogA having
been limited toA very few min

LARGE CROWD PRESENT

Getaway day at Prince George Park and
a perfect autumn day attracted the IarE-
est attendance Of the meeting and a day
Of stirring sport was enjoyed. The win
ners were all well backed. though Encore
in the first, and FL Mahdi in the nth
were at good odds. All the finishes were
close and exciting. Jockey Wolfe. recent
ly restored to good standing. piloted the
first two winners.
Johnny Pangle. the washingtonian, who
trained the feet Mrs. Frank Foster, in
her heyday, was q happy man when En-
core scored, though Hah1, would have
won with better handling, the colt coming
from far back with q rush.
Jolly Tar got the verdict because Wolfe
saved ground on the turn. while Dreyer
took Chiffon Squaw the overland journey.
Joe Knight had his speed, but mud in his
forte.
Dreyer reversed his tactics in the third,
making every post a winning one with
Wiley.
Connors brought Gold Cap up with a
rattle in the fourth and won going away
from Louder on Luria- a false favorite at
post time. Gold Cap receded in the spec
! ulation, his owner not fancying him. Even
with Troxler up. Miss Brush performed
disappointingly.
Ell Mahdi warmed up like the goods.
Troxler got him OF running opened a big
gap and just lasted. Shadrach making =
game stern chase. Midget Louder was in
a mess with Colors all the way
Again the distance race was the last Of
the day. Pollard. riding a clever race on
Over the Sands. held a slight advantage
most Of the way. He had enough left
to stall of Sam Hirsch. after racing Vesta
Strome into submission. Ford Mai had a
rough trip.

Georgetown Athletic Associa-
ton Wants Definite Reason
for Breaking Contract.
c. u. MEETS VILLANOVA

The action Of the Virginia Medicos in
not appearing at the Hilltop for its sched-
uled game with Georgetown Saturday may
now be followed by a lawsuit which
should bring out a few facts in regards
to colleges breaking contracts with one
another.
The Medicos handed the Hilltoppers the
biggest raw deal in the history OF ath-
letiCs at Georgetown and Graduate Man.
ager Charlie Cox intends to thrash the
thing out thoroughly, as many of the
followers of the Blue and Gray were
handed big disappointment
Just how soon legal action will start
could not be learned last night. but the
athletic association at the Hilltop intends
to support Manager O'BOyIe, of the foot
ball team, in his suit against the Rich
mond college.
Coach Exendine had another large
squad out yesterday, but nothing but
light work was on the program. Most
Of the work of the afternoon was spent
in training the athletes in the real rudi-
ments Of the game while no scrimmage
was held.
Several candidates were tried out in
punting as Coach Exendine is not yet
satisfied with the kicking in the games
The long and open style Of forward pass
es were practiced for nearly an hour by
the first squad, while the second string
men were driven through early season
tactics.
Defeat Villanova" is the slogan at
Catholic University. The ancient rivals Of
the BrOoklanders will meet the Red and
Black here Saturday and the spirit Of
