Under the^ auspices of the Ladles'
Memorial Association the annual ex?
ercises In memory, of the Southern
soldier dead, the remains of 30,000 of
whom rest in beautiful Old Blandford
Cemetery, were held this afternoon.
They were simple In character, but
I impressive. All business in the city
I was closed, during the afternoon In
respect to the day and its sacred ob?
servance, and many thousands of peo?
ple, bearing wreaths and flowers and
Confederate flags^ went to the ceme?
tery to pay their tribute. The crowd
was composed In largo measure of
women, whose presence added greatly
to the beauty, and attractiveness of
the scene Owing to the lateness of
the soason, there was a greater pro?
fusion of flowors than usual this year,
and no Boldlers' square, containing
graves of known or unknown dead,
was neglected In their distribution.
Parade of Veteran?,
The line of parade in honor' of the
day was formod on Sycamore, Tabb
and Bollingbrook Streets, and the
march was up Sycamore to Wythe

carriages with members of the Ladles'
Memorial Association, Mayor, orator
and guests, A. P. Hill Camp, Sons of
Confederate Veterans; boys and girls
of the Junior Memorial Association.
The veterans turned out with full I
ranks, and the parade was a striking
feature of the day.
The exercises were conducted from
the pagoda on Memorial Hill, around j
which the large' assemblage of people
was gathored. Mayor Cameron pre?
sided, and the Invocation was mado by
the Rev. C. Braxton Bryan, D. D.
Splendid Oration.
The address of the oocaslon was de?
livered by the Rev. George E. Booker,
D. D. It wan a splendid effort, and
was listened to from beginning to end
with closest attention.
At the conclusion of the address a
salute was flred by the Petersburg
Grays, taps were sounded, this bene?
diction was pronounced by Dr. Bryan,

sick. with dragglng-down feelings,
until I was ready to glve^ up all hope,"
says Mrs. L J. Ryder, of this city, "t
tried all the doctors . here, but" could
find no relief, so I used your wonder?
ful medicine, Cardui, and have had no

Cardui has relieved or cured 60 many
ladles In a similar manner to "this
during the past fifty years that a letter
like Mrs. Ryder's Is no novelty; such
letters reach us In every mall.
From you, however, who are weak
or sick, it merits special attention and
serious consideration, since it seems
to prove, on certain evidence, that a
cure Is possible In very serious cases
of womanly trouble.
If you suffer from such troubles,
what imaginable reason could thoro bo

fair trial?
Cardui cannot harm you.
It Is likely to do you good'.

The discharge of the grand Jury
I Impaneled to consldor the Appomat

afternoon was a surprise to tue com?
munity, and further delays the dis?
position of tho oases. The dismissal
of the Jury, however, is Justified by
I the desire of- tho oourt to have the
' charges against Charles Ball Davis
! and Carter R. Bishop oarefully and
thoroughly Investigated by a Jury, the
members of which have had no con?
nection or association whatever with
the bank or Its officers. One or more
' members of the discharged Jury had,
It seems, such connection. The cases
will now come before the grand Jury
summoned for the June term of the
court, which convenes next Thursday,
and about which the same car9 will
be' taken. There are 528 counts In
the voluminous new indictment to bp
considered, and. many days may bo

EEZELL CLAIMS
HI
Says Mr. Smythe Is Biased, and
That He Will Win With?
out a Doubt.
Accusing R. B. Smythe, publisher oil
th4 Harrlsonburg Dally News, of hav?
ing such bias that his statements are
to be taken with allawances. Sena?
tor George .-B. Keezell makes reply to
the Interview with Mr. Smythe pub".
Ilshcd In The Timos-Dlspatch.' which
was to the effect that tho Rocklngham
Senator would surely bo defeated In his
fight for the treasurershlp of tho'ooun
ty. Senator Koczell asserts that he
will be nominated, and further that
the Democrats of Rookingham will
elect their entire ticket, county and
legislative.
In a letter. th6 Valley leader,makes
the following statement:
"Tho well known bias of Mr. Smytha
would cause any statement of politi?
cal conditions in Rocklngham to ba
taken with many allowances, where ho
Is known. If Mr. Smythe IB a Demo?
crat It has never been known, and he
has not been so considered here. At a
recent meeting of the stockholders of
the Dally News,-. of which he Is tho
largest stockholder, he offered a reso?
lution declaring the Dally News "an.'
Independent Domooratlc paper."
Submits to Party.
"It Is true that his paper and he
have done and aro doing all they can
to defeat me. It Is equally true that
an overwhelming majority of the Demo?
crats of the courtly are supporting my
candidacy, and "that I have "signified
my entire willingness to submit my
claims to any kind of convention, ot
primers the party authorities may
order, pledging any ticket nominated
my cordial and earnest Bupport. ? No
one who Is unprejudiced and at nil.,
familiar with party conditions doubtt?
my nomination by any plan proposed
My friends and supporters feel that my ,
otectlon Is as well assured as the elec?
tion ot any Democrat ever Is In Rock?
Ingham.
"Unless the established' custom of
making nominations which has brought
uniform success for more than ten
years Is changed, my opponent and Mr
Smythe in his Interview concede my
nomination. Mr. Williamson, who la
opposing mo for county treasurer, has
demanded a direct primary., and de?
clines to state whether he- will be
bound by any other plan. I am willing ?
for any plan, and will win "by one as
readily as the other. The only dis?
ruption that Is being made, Is by Mr.
Smythe and those few who refuse to
commit themselves to the support of
such ticket as may bo nominated In
such primary ac may bo ordered by
tho proper party authorities. ?
"The party will elect Its legislative
ticket and Its county ofucers also. It
will elect the ticket It names. It Is
very well and agreeable to have tho
support of the newspapers, especially
one's homo paper (I have never had
the support of those who now control
Its management), but It Is very much
better to have the support of tho peo?
ple, and In all my candidacies I have
never had so many assurances; of
earnest and cordial support from vot?
ers of every political affiliation and
from evory walk of life as ?I have In
this oontest.
"I would say to my good friend. The"
Times-Dispatch?wait and see what
happens in the primaries and at the
election, and you will -realize that you
are not so far wrong In your estl-.
mate of -Rookingham politics, as Mr.
Smythe would Have you believe."
