Methuselah slept on his sleep-
ing porch with the germ-proof
screens all round, and he dream
ed of the good old days of yore,
ere diseases had been found. He
dreamed of his giddy schoolboy
days when he was a callow boy
not more than 200 years of age,
when his life Overflowed with
joy.
A great great great : great
grandson then, with whisker
four. feet long, awoke the dream
er as he passed, with snatch OF
a rag-time song. THE years of
my life," the old man said, ARE
nine hundred sixty-nine, and new
er have i heard a song SO out-of-
tune as thine!
And never in my lengthy life
have times so out of joint been
governed by such officers as those
to whom ] point! I've never seen
such hayward boys as those these
days produce, and women never
in my day kicked up the very
deuce.
The taxes never were so high,
nor were the crops so small; the
bugs were never quite so thick;
the weeds were not so tall"
The servants, who had heard
this stuff for 700 years, pretend
ed to believe it all, and shed the
usual tears. They slipped some
sleeping powders in Methuselah' s
cold tea. They buried him at
sunset, on a hill beside the sea.

ORIGINALS INCREASED WILSON
VOTE.
Richmond Evening JournolI

(Richmond Evening Journal.)
Soon after the election the New
York Times published n table show
ing the relative vote by states for
Wilson and Hughes, in which Vir
ginia's total for the President was
placed at 10000, drop of 10000
from the vote cast in 1912. We pro
tested Mt the time that IL e showing
was inaccurate, but the Times not
yet has corrected it's table, insofar
us Virginia is concerned. The inof
fetal returns which will probably not
vary more than few hundred votes
from the official count, reveal a total
of 1928 votes cast, of which Will
son received 1888, Hughes 49,358
and the Socialists and labor candi-
dates and Prohibitionist candidates
the remaining 10000 votes. Instead
OF being 10000 behind the 1912 vote

gain of 1880 in the Wilson vote
over that of four years ago. The
Republicans cast about 1900 in excess
Of the 1912 combined vote for Taft

this year it exceeds those figures by

DEFICIT STILL UNPAID.


More Money Was Needed To Conduct
Campaign Than Was Expected.
The following letter was received
his week from Wilbur w. Marsh,
treasurer of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee:
Editor Clinch Valley News:
1t IS your due, as one of the news
paper men who proved his loyalty
during the campaign just closed, that
you should have more complete in
formation with respect to the iinan-
cial condition of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee than was contain
ed in my recent night telegram to you.
My telegram told you of the de-
iicit of approximately 100000 and
explained briefly the urgent necessi-
~ for quick action so that the short
age could be wiped out quickly.
When the campaign began, the
managers in behalf of the National
Committee were confident the ex-
Densc could be kept within $1,500,00O.
We expected hard fight; our oppo-
ncnts were determined and insistent
and well fortified with money.
Near the end of the struggle it was
found we must enlarge our budget
TO meet the attacks of the Republi-
cans: There seemed no length to
which they would not go to accom-
lolish the defeat of our ticket. Had
we not spent this money during the
last few dogs, we would not now be
celebrating our victory.
We have expended more than $780,
N excess of the amount that has
been contributed. We made a clean
ght. Not dollar was wasted II
was Il splendid victory for the peo-
pie. We have no regrets. We arc
'roud of the record. We must de-
oend upon the people to make up this
lcfcit.
We need and expect your best sup
mort personally through your news
paper.
Also please send checks to me ms
fast as you get them in.
Very sincerely yours.

DAWING NEAR.

There's only one thing left to do
When winds blow cold and skies are
blue,
And distant woods are hazy gray,
And that's to simply go away,
Close up your desk and leave it fiat
And go away from all of that,
And turn your eyes away from town
10 where brown roads are winding
down
Far hills, into the lowland ways,
And merge into the distant haze.
The field larks now from yellow
throats
Send DER brown fields their sweetest
notes,
And call and call and call,
And city spires, nor castle hall,
Can hold the soul that wakes and
hears
That poignant call across the years
From fields he used to love and know;
The call has come and he must go,
Must put all work and duty by
And far out far beneath the sky.
| think when comes the autumn cal
And horses rest within the stall
After the harvest home, and cows
Chewing their cuds stand hall
adrowse,
Where golden sunbcams fall and rest
n autumn's bare and coaxing breast
And all the fields are bare and brown
And woods are hazy far from town,
Ihcn the man who is not clod,
1t seems to me, draws near to God.
