TWO COUNTY P0STMASTERS.
Clarendon Has hree-Cornered Con-
test-Rosslyn Changes Ahead.
;apprehensio

The postofices at Clarendon and
Posslvn are receiving attention in the
office of First Assistant Postmaster
General Daniel C. Roper, and at Clar-
endon a sharp contest between the
applicants has developed.
At the recent examination the ap-
plicants who passed highest in the Or"
der of their ratings were MIR. Brad
field who runs the drug store near
the railway station, Mr.. Payne, who
is in the grocery department af
Woodward & Lothrop's and DR.. T. F.
Simpson. a well-known practicinf
physician. Mr.. Bradfield has the en-
dorsement to Representative Carlln
and to the department OF 4. Z. l..
Moncure, former state Democratic
committeeman, while DR.. Simpson is
backe:! by County Clerk George H.
Rucker. Mr.. Payne is relying upon
his standing in the examination, his
promise to give his entire time to the
office and the good wall and reconSnsen-
dation of his neighbors. DR.. S11ap-
SON, it has been assumed, cannot as
a practicing physician give the post
office his personal attention; but he
promises to devote at least s hours
day to the work.
Representative Carlin has not YET
publicly expressed a preference for
either of the candidates.
The postofice at Rosslyn, It is un'
derstood, pays SIS month, and out
of this the postmaster must pay Of

In case the engineers plans for re-
location of the railway stations are
adopted and Carried out, the office
must be removed from the railway
station and will probably be put near
the bank on the main street of the
village. Robert Wallace, who has
long had the Rosslyn Office was not

his people for veal or woe, in which
resolution he never faltered.
He offered his services to the Gov
ernor of Virginia and was sent first
as a cadet to the Virginia Military In
stitute at Lexington, where after soue
training, he was ordered for duty with
the 18th Virginia Infantry and re-

Of any industry or all industries suf-
fering from the war. This proposed

essentially nothing but the valoriza-
ton scheme that Brazil tried with
unfortunate results in the case OF
coffee. We can see no prospect In 1t
but loss for the government and
weakening of its position in regard

will bring on severer losses in tho
future. We have no faith that the
government if il should lose by
holding Europe's supply of cotton uu-
oil Europe was ready to take H. would
ever be able TO throw its losses back
on the Southern states ~ taxation. A
popular government does not work
that way. Nor have We any conf
dence in the proposed government

which production could be Kept down.
so that next years crop and this
years surplus would be readily alb
sorbed The limitation would be
Sard TO enforce And If the govern
msut in one instance stood ready 10
finance the cotton crop the natural
pressure upon the planter TO reduce
the acreage next year would be re-
moved The South would look 10 the
nation to help Il again If production
was not curtailed sufficiently and If
the European war lasted longer than
was calculated or if the prOstratiOn Of
the European market surpassed OK

There viii be a real gain to the
South if II learns not Ia depend to
the extent il now does upon cotton.
II will not learn this lesson If the
national government stands ready to
guarantee it against loss while it
continues to plunge upon this single
staple. Il will be best that the relief
of the South should he left to her
banks and to individual enterprise.
These are already making progress
in meeting the situation Any gov
erpment assumption OF the task will
mean a dangerous misuse of the ma
tion's credit or impairment Of its
currency. And the abuse will not end
with the present emergency. The
pressure for government aid to pro-
ducers disappointed about prices will

No Cotton VaIorizafion
lFrom the New York Tribunel !.

Why should the United States gov
eminent valorize cotton, as is projec-
ted in tho proposed amendment TO
the war revenue bill, any more than
stocks and bonds? AS a reason for
the purchase Of cotton by the gov
eminent it is urged that war crisis
In a great industry affecting a large
section exists and that the suffering
If the price of cotton ~ not main
tained will be enormous. The cotton
cron has been raised with the usual
European demand in view. That de-
mand has been largely cut off by
the war. Therefore, IL is argued, the
government should lend it's credit in
aid Of the cotton producer. In the
same way the European market for
American stocks and bonds has been
DESTROYED Millions Of dollars in
shares wait on the other side TO be
dumped here as soon as the oppor-
mnity to sell them exists. The IN
terests affected are even vastcr than
those Of the cotton growers. A panic
might spring from the mishandling
Of this situation. II the government
should buy the cotton which Europe
won't absorb, why should il not also
buy the stocks which Europe won't
hold?
The South is. of course deserving
of the fullest sympathy in this emer-
gcncy. And the utmost that may
safely be done for it's relief should
be done. II could rot foresce the
war. and its prosperity is wrapped up
i'm the marketing of los cotton at a
paying price. It's loss will be the
nations loss. for the prosperity OF all
sections of the country is inextricahly
related. and one section cannot sur
fer without the rest in some degree
feeling the consequences of Its mis-
fortune. And in the present critical
situation 1t will be TO tho advantage
of the whole country that the shocks
and dislocatons of industry existing
anywhere and everywhere as a result
of the war shall be reduced as much
as possible.
But when we have SAID all TINS we
arc very far from conceding that the
government should enter upon dan
gerous experiments IN tho use Of its
credit or its currency Tor the benefit
