?? ?* Wual THEY THINK.
Norfolk County Politics.
The Norfolk County Times .?ays: It takes
? lot of unmitigated Rail to ask the State
Central Committee to force a majority
ot the Democrats of Norfolk county Into
a primary that Is to he run by the Fame
crowd who would not even allow Pemo
crnts io voto lnst fall. It would take a
lot of forcing to get some of the host
Democrats of the county Into such a pri?
ma ry, too.
Inventor Bibb.
Editor Bibb, of the Louisa. News, Is no
longer Editor Bibb, but Inventor Bibb.
He hns sold the News to Mr. Robert A.
Crawford, who has changed the name to
Enterprise. In his salutation, Mr. Craw
lord says: "In assuming the proprietor?
ship and management of the Enterprise,
It gives me great pleasure to know that I
have the heartiest pood wishes of my
friend. Mr. Bibb, who, from now on,
will devote his entire time and well
known talents to perfecting fin Invention,
a creation of his own busy brain, which
I trust will bring him In nn. abundant
harvest of both fame and fortuno, In
?which hope I am sure nil good people will
heartily Join me."
Talks Sense.
. The Salera Times-Register was delight?
ed with tho Governor's speech In Salem
and says:
Governor Montague conlrl not do the
?ieople of the State a greater service than
c attend the commencement exercises
of all the schools and colleges In Virginia
and repeat to them tho splendid advice
contained in his magnificent address here
yesterdny. His Excellency completely
startled and annihilated fops, society but?
terflies and fool fraternity notions by his
manly references to the nobility of tho
?working people, whom he placed first
and foremost as the happiest and best
in the world. Some feeble minded, on
that subject, among his audience, were,
perhaps, horrified to hear him say, In
speaking of his own daughters, that If
he had to choose between music and cook?
ing as their educational accomplishment,
he would take cooking every time, for
thereby they could make happier homes.
.This, however, Is only ono of the many
practical and very plain point? he touch?
ed upon. His whole address was a gem
of the plainest and most common sense
lessons that need to be taught more and
more In this aping and Impractical age.
Some More Sense.
The Appomattox Times preaches a ser?
mon to the county folks that will apply In
Other counties. It says:
No white man pan realize the Import
once of having good county officers ful?
ly who purposely stays away from tho
polls on the day of the primary?August
Jst. Thero Is by no means any kind or
condition of politics in the matter; In
fact, but for tho Insertion of the word
Democrat in the plan, no reference would
have been made to ono parly or the other.
We hope the white people will vote In
the primary, because under the new Con?
stitution, if you stay out ot these pri?
maries you practically disfranchise your
e???. so far as your county officers are
concerned. Let there be a full vote at
the primary.
Tazewell Still Dry.
The Clinch Valley News says:
If the Republican administration's claim
to a general control of the affairs of the
country be genuine, the Ralnmastor,
3eneral should be hauled up nnd asked to
?xplaln why there has been such a partial
Ilstrlbution of water recently, and also be
informed that we are needing a llttlo
rain In Tazewell. If he cannot explain
md adjust, then put a mote competent
man In his place.
Good Advice.
T.he Eastern Shore Herald finds it nece.s
p.ary to pour a little oil on troubled politi?
cal waters. It says:
The Herald condemns tho plan of In?
jecting violent personal matter into the
political campaign as is being done by
some. The public has a right to call for
expressions from the various candidates
on the points at Issue without being sub?
jected to the disagreeables Incident to
that kind of oratory. Joint discussions
are very conducive to the enlightenment
of the hearers when conducted in the
right spirit, hut it'Is nn imposition on
good nature to expect people to listen to
abusive language without becoming very
tired of It, especially when It goes so far
as to appear more like persecution rather
than nubile discussion. A nice tempered
discussion Is beneficial: volumes^ ?f per?
sonal invective provo nothing and estab?
lish nothing.
Sticking to It.
?' The Claries ville Enterprise says:
The people of the county do not pro?
pose to drop the good roads question. Mr.
Read may withdraw his bill and his in?
terest in behalf of public roads at the
Fiiggestion of "Billy,? yet this is a live
Issue and Is fresh in the minds of the
people, and it is the aim and purpose of
the Enterprse to stand by the tax-payers
in their efforts to secure better publlo
highways. ,^ .? (
Over the Rocky Way.
The Warrenton True Index figures? it
put this way:
With cyclones In the South, floods In
tthe West, forest lires In the East, negro
lynchlngs in the North, depression In
Wall Street, thieving In the government
departments and labor upheavals every?
where, President Roosevelt's home-com?
ing from thc greatest" 1'resldontlal junket,
could not have beon one of unalloyed
bliss.
As Others See It.
The Brunswick Gazette hea Its ideas
about the situation In Richmond. It says:
We. dare say that those members of
the City Council of Richmond who were
instrumental In suppressing the Investi?
gation proposed nbout a year ago of the
reports then current of bloodllng on the
part of members of the city government
havo now discovered that In so doing thev
only made had matters woise. it should
have been na plain to them ns It wns
to every one else, that any e[C-rl nt sup?
pression only added fuel to the flame
Oy giving additional and wider spread
currency and greater credence tc< the dam?
aging? reports. Nor was this nil. It op?
erated as a cruel injustice to those who
had been guilty of no wrong-doing by
Involving? them, wliero not personally
known. In the general suspicion, Tho sup
presslonlsts in the Council sliiuld have
known that sooner or later tho dav of
reckoning would come nnd that their
ettorts to stifle, Investigation would onU?
intensify the determination of the good
people of Richmond to probe the matter
to the bottom and lay bare thc whole
dirty business without fear, favor or af?
fection.
Some Sweet Day.
The Harrison ? a.-g Free Trsss "inysi
Some day the people will come to real?
izo that "practical politics" In any de?
partment of tho government Is a gentle
way of referring to political dishonesty,
The official who schools himseli to do?
ing dishonest things ii,r the benont ot the
party Is but paving the way to doing dis?
honest things for himself.
What Lebanon Wants.
The Lebanon News speaks right out.
It says:
An open field nnd a fair fight Is what
we want this fall. We understand that
the horses are being groomed on both
sides, and wo will soon know who tho
standard bearers will be. Remember,
boys, you need not now ask whether a
man has the money to mako the race or
w^lth which to purchase the office, but
ask enn he fill the position? Is he fit?
Men win vote this fall uninfluenced by
money. What will happen?
A Gloomy View.
The Henry County Bulletin says:
It Is suggestive of the degradation to
which American politics has descended,
and the extent to which the peoplo havo
resigned themselves to political despot?
ism, when it Is observed that the Re?
publican party has been able to win Its
victories on any and all sorts of pint
forms, with any and all sorts of can?
didates, while the Democratic party'has
gone to defeat, with a single exception,
whatever its platform and whoever -its
candidate. The trusts and the G'. A. R.
are too strong a combination for the peo?
ple to go up against. That is about the
present situation.

SPITE CORNER IN NEW YORK
How a Valuable Corner Lot Camo to
Be Left on a Speculator's Hands.
One of the most conspicuous corners
In New York city to-day, the one which
Is attracting tho most attention and cre?
ating tho most talk, is tho northwest cor?
ner of Broadway and Thirty-fourth Street.
It Is called "Splto Corner." When R. H.
Macy nnd Company began to acquire lots
on Thirty-fourth and Thirty-fifth Streets
and Broadway for their clvpartment store,
.they wero unable to secure that corner.
An operator offered tho owner a fancy
price and got it. He believed that he
would thus control tho key to tho situa?
tion and force Macy and Company to
buy it at any price. In this respect his
plnn failed. When the timo came to
build tho store the firm decided to go
ahead and ignore the corner lot with
"SPITE CORNER" AT HERALD
SQUARE.
Its 1,100 square feet. The great building,
fis shown In the illustration, has gone up
around the corner lot, leaving it isolated.
Whs ??? the futura may have in slo< ,
for "Spite Corner," it Is certain that it
can Inly bo useful for the site of a tower
like building, and It Is not reasonable to
suppose that It will ever again command
the price Macy's were willing to pay for
It. A unique feature at Macy's Is a
departnuvit of d/posits, where money
earns 4 per cent, instead of the usual i
or 31-2. Deposits draw from date of de?
posit and Interest is calculated on the
balance every three months; hence, it
compounds. Deposits can either be? with?
drawn without a minute's notice or used
as a credit against purchases.

Two-Year-Old?Tho Sale of Baron
Wood and Princess Kenton,
Other Items.
Of ?ill Virginia breeders not ono has
over In bored more unselfishly, nnd that
on a large scale, too, to advance the horse
interest In the Stato than the Hon. Hen
iL?, Fairfax, owner of the noted Oak
Hill I'arm. near Aldle, Loudoun coun?
ty. Mr. Fairfax Imported tho famous
hackney stallion. Matchless of Londsboro,
from England In 18SS, and later sold
hi in to Dr. W, So ward Webb, of Ver?
mont, for $15.000. Apart from his ex?
tensive breeding establishment i\Ir. Fair?
fax has played a prominent part in pub?
lic life for years past, serving as a
member of the State Sonn ? e. member of
the Constitutional Convention and chair?
man of its Finance Committee, und now
member of tho State Corporation Com?
mission, which Is one of the most im?
portant offices in the State government.
Breeding horses began ht Oak Hill at
an earlier date, of course, but personal
selection in England of -Alatchless by Mr,
Fairfax and his Importation of the won?
derfully potent stallion was tho master
stroke that brought fame nnd fortuno
to. the farm as the homo of fine harness
horses. In the beginning neighboring
farmers wero allowed to breed their
mares to Matchless and other stallions
at Oak Hill on the most liberal terms,
oftentimes no service being charged, but
simply an option taken on tho foal at
weaning time; then, too, premiums were
offered for the get of the Oak Hill sires,
all of which encouraged and served like?
wise to promoto an interest that has since
crown Into an Industry of vast benefit to
all that section.
? * ?
Matchless Dane, chestnut horse. 7, by
Matchless of Londsboro. dam Lady Fife,
by Danegelt, is tho stallion now in use
at Oak Hill. Ho has fine size, good looka
and impressive action. The farm marcs,
some twenty in number, were all mated
with him this season, while others of
real class wore received from Northern
owners. A number of the Oak Hill
matrons are trotting bred and these
mated with hackney sires have produced
some great high acting harness horses.
The grand old imported mare Go is a
fixture on tho farm and well she may
be. because her produce sold from the
pjace, not including a couple of foals
that died, havo brought tho snug sum
of $21,650, among them being tho three
year-old registered hackney Flrey Dane,
by Danegelt, purchased last fall by
James Hobart Moore, of Chicago, for $10,
000. It was tho intention of Mr. Fairfax
to reserve Firov Dane for tho stud. GO
was sired by Trlffett's Flreaway and la
probably the only daughter of that stal?
lion in America. There were seventeen
foals dropped at Oak Hill this season and
among them are some that represent the
richest hackney strains of blood in this
country.

After several postponements, due to
rain and a heavy track, the match race
between the pacers Fern, 2:21 1-4, bay
mare, by Petoskey. dam Mannte, by AJax,
owned by Luther Llbby, and Smith
O'Brien. 2:1? 1-4. the big brown gelding
by A parka, dam Ada M., by Corsair, prop?
erty of J. C. Cheatwood, fixed for Sat?
urday, the 6th instant, was decided on
Monday afternoon last, the 15th, when,
with favorable weather conditions and
a track in fair shape, several hundred
persons were on hand to witness the
event. William. L. Bass, the Acca Farm
trainer, drove Fern,' while William New
som had the mount behind Smith
O'Brien. As a contest, the affair was
void of any' special feature, the mare
simply taking the lead In each heat and
marching home without ever being head?
ed.
The three heats were paced In 2:19 1-4,
2:18 3-4. 2:22 1-4. In the second heat Fern
lowered her record two and one-half
seconds, and, pushed out, could have
gone several seconds faster. After this
event was decided, Bass brought out
John Riddle's brown gelding Senator
Little, the nine-year-old son of Wilton
and Ximena Wllkes. by Wilkes Boy, to
beat 2:30 In order to decide a wager.
Bets were freely offered that the little
gelding would not perform the feat. Un?
der the rules three trials were allowed.
Senator Little trotted the first heat in
2:31 1-4 and came back the second in
2:27 1-2.
Imported Diomed, winner of the first
English Derby in 17S0, was brought to
Virginia when twenty-two years old and
$1,000 was paid for the noted son of Florlzel
and the sister to June, daughter of Spec?
tator. Tho chestnut stallion died in 1S0S
the property of Colonel Hoomos, when
thirty-one yeas old, and left an imper?
ishable renown. Diomed must have been
a horse-of unusual vigor, because ho had
reached tho ago to vote when brought
to this country, yet the voyage of thirty
days and tossing about in a sailing ves?
sel did affect his spirits and he landed
full of Ufo. The fate, however, of two
other winners of this classic event of the
English turf was very different, as Blue
Gown, winner of tho ninetieth derby, and
Kingcraft, hero of ihe ninety-second, who
were purchased by American breeders,
both died on tho Journey over, though
they were shipped on a steamship in
comparative luxury. The cost of Diomed
presents a strong contrast to the $10,500
and S150.000, paid respectively by Charles
Jteed for Imp. St. Blaise, and W. B. Mc
Donough for Imp, Ormonde.
The last named horses are the only
other derby winners that ever landed in
this country alive with the exception of
Diomed and St. Giles, yet the son of
Florlzel proved more valuable than both
of them put together, for he sired Sir
Archy, tho Emperor of American fetalllon,
who In turn got Tlmoleon and from his
loins came, the famous Boston, sire of the
immortal Lexington. Sir Archy, Tlmoleon
and BoBton were all bred in Virginia,
Bobert BradUy'a home bred two-year
old, the brown colt Peter Paul, by Aloha,
dam Eminence, by imp. Kyrie Daly, is
the best youngster, regardless of sex,
that has shown up In tho West this
season. Tills well bred colt, who takes
his- name from Peter Paul, of this city,
one of the liest known horsemen in Vir?
ginia, showed io great advantage on the
closing day of the recent Hawthorne
meeting, Chicago, where he met a strong
field of two-year-olds, flvo of them win?
ners. It, was simply a processional race,
with Peter Paul a winner by ten lengths,
St. Paula three lengths before Mllkirk,
and tho others tailed out to the sixteenth
polo. Bo good Is the Virginia bred colt
now that thero Is not a youngster in tho
AVest ablo to take his measure in heavy
going.
The chestnut mare Lillian 8., who re?
duced her record from 2:26 1-4 to 2:19 1-4
in the third heat of the 2:24 trot, at Bal?
timore recently and showed her ability
to trot In 2:15 or better, when called Upon
for the effort, was bred by the. Floyd
Brothers. Bridgetown. Va. She was elred
by Colonel Sidney, dam Grace, by Clay,
son of Walker Monili. A full brother
to this maro, tho bay gelding, 3, was
recently purchased of the Messrs. Floyd
bv W. A. Noal. Manchester. Va., who
thinks liighlv of him. Lillian S. Is a
mare of nice size, but her younger brother
Is already right around sixteen hands high
and with moro ago and development is
likely to make a very large horse,

What It Shows.
The lynching of a negro In a. quiet
Illinois town shows that this public an?
archy Is not confined to the South, nor
is It confined to one class of crime. The
crime for which Wyatt was lynched was
the shooting of a school superintendent
named Hertel, who had refused to extend
his certificate as a teacher. It was not
even a case of murder, for Hertel was
only wounded, and will, in all likelihood,
recover.?Toronto Globe.
For Revenue Only.
It is no longer possible to conceal the
fact that the enlargement of the free
delivery service of the Postofllce Depart?
ment has been managed from the start
with the object ot benefiting tho Re?
publican politicians at the expense of
their opponents. The official reports show
?hat four States. Indiana, Illinois, Iowa
and Ohio, had on October 15th last more
than one-third of all the rural free de?
livery, routes In the United States. Theso
States wore allotted 3,792 rural routes
out of a total of 11,199. The real respon?
sibility for the scandals In the Postofllce
Department, now being exposed, rests
chiefly on the leading Republican Con?
gressmen from those States, and most
ot all upon Mark Hanna, whose speda!
representative In tho departmr/t was Mr.
Perry Heath, of Indiana.?Hartford Times.
As to Dr. Hillis.
And Mr. Hillis is guilty of n. false sug?
gestion when he Intimates that the ne?
groes of the South are entitled to the
credit of taking care of the whites and
making the crops to support them, as
if the white men were children or Im?
beciles and the colored men were their
iruardlans. If he had even a superficial
knowledge of the past he would know
that the negroes would have starved to
death but for the care and supervision
ot their masters, and if he would study
present conditions a little he would know
that tho negroes who can manage their
own affairs, even after nearly forty years
of freedom, without heln from the whites,
are exceptions to the general rule.
But to show that Mr.. Hillis can talk
sense when he will, we take two sen?
tences from his advice to the colored
people: "Let them out the arm and in?
tellect Into wood and stone and Iron and
comoass all trades," ho tells them, and
adds: "Let them forswear politics and
practice Industry, economy and thrift,
and let them be discouraged never." That
1b ?rood advice and? It is a great pltv
that he does not Indulge In more such
sensible talk and not malte a blathering
ass of himself, as he sometimes does.?

The C analTreaty.
There eeems to be a growing impression
In Washington's official circles that tho
Panama Canal treaty will fall of passage
before the Colombian Congress. That
the treaty would be a good thing for the
State of Colombia there is no room for
doubt, but the Colombians aro a Jeal?
ous and a suspicious people, and like all
the Inhabitants of the Spanish-American
States, they are particularly suspicious
and iealous of the power of this great
republic. The republics to the south of
us are friendly to tha nations that club
them, as has been frequently shown In
their relations with this country. An En?
glishman In any of these countries has
a better status than an American, be?
cause the British government is feared,
and the South American believes that It
Is the duty of this republic to always
protect her smaller sisters nnd never to
discipline them. Were Great Britain or
Germany the other party to this canal
treaty there would be 'no doubt what?
ever about its ratification.?New Orleans

The Murdering In Servia.
Every fresh account of the murdering
in Belgrade emphasizes its horrors.
Whether the latest accounts is any truer
than those which preceded It, It Is Im?
possible to say. We have a doubt wheth?
er the actual assassins, who know the
facts, are giving out the particulars with
freedom. It Is natural to suppose that
they would have some caution, If no
shame, touching their part in the busi?
ness, we are not surprised that the sov?
ereigns of Europe should think the ex?
ecution of the assassins would contribute
to the stability of dynasties the world
over. The rival claimants for tho Ser?
vian throne have fostered a feud which
Is not unlike those of Eastern Kentucky.
Bloody as tho Belgrade business Is, there
are several Kentucky feuds that have
been the cause of more murders In a
shorter term of years than this one in
Servia has lasted.?Boston Herald.
No Trust Money.
The campaign for the election of Presi?
dent Roosevelt probably will get no aid
from the "trusts" and it does not need
to draw on that quarter for its sus?
tenance. The popular campaign for the
nomination of Mr, Roosevelt, which has
been ended by the unalterable decision
of the Republican party a year In ad?
vance of It? convention to make him. its
candidate, certainly got no assistance
from the "trusts,'? and It surely required
none. That campaign was carried to a
successful issue without the use of a
dollar In Its behalf. We believe that all
the money the "trusts" could raise to
(support the campaign of Mr. Roosevelt's
opponent would fail to defeat his elec?
tion. Just as the riches of the "trusts"
have failed to prevent his nomination.?

Murderers All.
The characters of th? chief victims of
the Belgrade tr>icdy flescvvo only un?
qualified reprobation. No lineaments of
endearing qualities emerge unon their
faces, even under the sr?fwnfng touib.
of death, to call forth the sympathy of
men. Their sins made the pair hateful
to tho moral sense of the world, and
their degeneracy cursed tne country)
which they ruled.
But what of the dastards who did the
deed'.' Does any degree of worthle.ssnesa
on tho part of the King an<l Queen o?
?ervla Justify their brutal nnd cwnrdly
murder? No particular of ini.im!-* Is lack?

Tammany's Fix.
Can even the "best man In Tammany"

to put Itself on the "graft" basis attain

they say, "or It's all up with ns." That's
the truth. Anot'.i'-r dcfe.it ?irsi two j?-;irs

Some More Big Trees.
Washington is fast getting to be known
around the world as a Slate of wonderful
things. A great spruce tree was? felled
there recently and It was decided that a
piece of it Bhould be sent to Sweden for
exhibition purposes. The men who went
to see the tree said they would take elev?

them they could leave It In Washington
If they did, for It would be impossible to
transport the log on any car. The men

The Deadly Pocket Knife. ,
The pocket knife, a most vicious and
deadly Instrument when drawn In a dis*
pute between neighbors, has figured ?rt
two cases of neighborhood brawl, as re?
ported in our news columns within tha
past few days. Fortunately, fatuities did
1 not follow the Introduction of this ugly
argument Into the fray, though serious
consequences are likely to result to one
of the victims. Nothing less than de?
moniac fury would Induce a man to make
a deadly weapon of a pocket knife, and
he who allows himself to become thus
possessed by paeslon should be subjected
to proper punishment, even though his
blade was not long enough to accom?
plish the deadly mission on which It was
sent. The Intent of such an assault is so
vicious that It Is well enough to make
an example of the assailant, even though
the neighbor or friend placed In peril of
his life may be disposed to condone the
offense..?Portland Oregonlan.
