PROMINENT EDITOR HERE.

Mr.. E. E. Miller, editor of The
Southern Agriculturist, published in
Nashville, Tennessee, has been on a
tour Of the Southwest and was here
on Wednesday, and paid this Office
a pleasant visit. Mr.. Miller is still
young, (though baldheaded) and Wig
orous. He is making a fine paper.
The Agriculturist makes the needs
and interests of the Chill Country
Farmers" prominent feature, and
in this regard the paper meets more
nearly the needs, problems, etc., of
Southwest Virginia than any agricul-
tural publication we know of. Every
farmer in this section should have
this paper. 1t is published semi
monthly at Soc per year.

CAMPAIGN SHOTS.

The campaign has, as between Ger.
tain of the candidates., degenerated
so to speak, into claims and denials
and denials and claims For instance
Mr. Davis claims to be the father
of the State Lime Grinding bill. Here
comes along Senator Bland Massie
of Nelson county, and declares, 81
introduced the first bill, copy of the
Illinois law. Had it not been
for the great aid of w. A. Garrett
the popular Senator from Henry, ]
doubt very much whether the bill
would have passed. I feel sure
that he (Davis) rendered no service
in behalf of this bill So there you
are.
The school book question is a bone
of contention between Mr.. Stearns and
Mr.. Hart. This same question bobs
up. in every campaign. The Evening
Journal says that Mr.. Hart, through
his successful advocacy of the
change in school books the last time,
has cost the parents of the public
schools $50O,0OO.
Mr.. Hart says that Mr.. Stearnes
voted about as often as anybody else
for changes in textbooks, SO there
you are again.
Mr.. Pollard promises that in the
event of his election, he will exert his
earnest efforts to this end" viz: Re-
.duction of taxes. This he proposes
TO do by Equalization of taxes" And
these are war times, too
Mr.. Davis intimates that neither
Pollard nor Ellyson know anything
about taxation. So there you are
again.
Mr.. Pollard's and Mr.. Ellyson's
friends charge that The Southern
Planter, Mr.. Davis paper, sent out
thousands of free copies of the July
issue to the farmers of the State in
the interest of Mr., Davis. Mr.. B.
Morgan Sheppard denies it, says,
somebody has lied," and opens his
books for inspection. So there you
are once more, and 40 OH ad infnitum,

DEMOCRATS, ATTENTION!
ELLYSON OR DAVIS, WHICH?
lEditorial.l

Let the Democrats stand firm for
the regular Democratic candidates,
men in no wise identified with any
outside leagues or organizations.
Don't be blown about by every wind
of new doctrine that comes along. The
contest now is between Mr.. Ellyson
and Mr.. Davis, one or the other. The
Wet Democrats will vote for Davis.
He has, it is said, the influence and
support of the liquor people outside
the State as well as those inside.
At this writing there seems to be
little doubt of Mr.. Ellyson's nomina-
ton, but his friends should take moth
ing for granted. Stand to your guns |!

TRAIN RIDER GIVES
OFFICER HOT CHASE
Railroad Policeman Shoots
to Stop Fleeing Man.

Ed Gallagher, u free and easy gentle
man of the road. led Special Officer
Merrick of the Northern Pacific Il
merry chase through the railroad
yards yesterday afternoon when he at
tempted to evade the arm of the law.
Gallagher, who prefers travelling on
passenger trains without passing
through the formality Of sharing the
contents of his purse with the rail-
road companies to the more plebeian
side door Pullmans, came in on the
rods" of the North Coast Limited
yesterday afternoon.
Merrick. keeping an eye open for
train riders. saw Gallagher slip off the
train, and watched him while he
! 1oitered about the passenger station
/ until the abrupt whistle of the engine
announced it's departure for the east
Gallagher ran down the platform !;
couple of blocks with the apparent
i intention of swinging aboard the blint
/ baggage, with Merrick hot on his trail
He did not stop on the officers orders
TO halt, so Merrick fired. The revolver
shot stopped Gallagher in his tracks
/ and soon he was lodged in the county
! Jail.
And so exciting was the ball game {
few hundred feet away that not one o
the many spectators saw the chase o
heard the crack of the pistol as Thu
quarry was halted.
