Be this as It may. prompted by a
sense of duty as we'll as by my ap-
probation of the man and his great
work In our state, l cannot be silent
any longer.
Another consideration weighing
greatly with me in this matter Is that
I'm Bishop Cannon, progressive Meth
odisnl will find an able champion and
faithful friend. 1t Is putting It mildly
70 sav that the people who share his
views in religious matters are glad
that Or. Cannon is q bishop. for the
stronger adjective tubilant better ex
presses their feelinGs.
We believe that our god friend
wanted to be a bishop. for he. like
the rest OF us. is human. but we be
lieve that the great church which has
put this great honor and Responsibilities
on him can fully trust this big brain
ed, far-seeing, tireless. brave and big
hearted man 10 do the duties now fac
ing him.
In conclusion. let mo say that II ny
one who reads this Paper thinks that
in writing about Bishop Cannon as /
have done, ! am open to the charge
Of dealing in fulsome eulogy or In

Editor Virginian:
Sir,--There has come to light
story that brings wildly before the
mind the picture OF Edgar Allan Poe
A lady who is an admirer OF Poe
recently sent to the librarian Of the
University of Virginia two-cent post
age stamp. The explanation Which
the lady made was that the stamp
was In payment Of two cents that Poe
owed the librarian.
Several days ago numerous old pa
pers were found in the cellar of the
rotunda OF the university among
which was one of Library Fines in
which was a fine of sixty cents against
Poe for keeping over the prescribed
time certain volume of history.
There was also memorandum show
ing that Poe had paid fifty eight cents
of the fine leaving two cents unpaid,
and 1t was in payment of these two
cents that the stamp was sent.
Now after Poe has been in his grave
for seventy years, there comes to light
this Interesting story If Poe owed
the university two cents. how much is
The university indebted to Poe? How
much Of the fame of the university
rests upon the fact that Poe was once
a student Of the institution. The an
sWer TO this is found in the fact that
the room which Poe occupied on West
Range is set apart as a receptacle Of
the furniture tthe chairs, desk. and
table5 used by Poe 1t IS not oc-
cupied by any student. but is set
apart as memorial Of Poe, and over
the door Of the room IS tablet on
which is inscribed the statement that
it Is the room occupied by Edgar Al
ian Foe. Visitors to the university
never fail to visit this room and re
gard with lively interest its contents
