THURSDAY, - AUGUST 3, 1?X>5.
In the last issue of the Journal
we undertook to analyse the small
opposition to Mr. Sears in this
county and the cause of the exag?
gerated reports of same. Some
few supersensitive (? ) citizens of
the county and some others not
of the district, who are very vio?
lently opposed to Mr. Sears, are
very much alarmed for fear that
the editorial in the Journal would
injure Mr, Sears' candidacy. The
Journal is not disposed to quiet
their real fears as to the effect of
its editorials, *he statements ir
which we believe to be truc and
for which we proclaim ourselves
entirely responsible. If any one
is wincing it is very apt to be the
galled jade. In the mean time,
Mr. Sears is still in the fight, with
every chance of success, and his
name will be on the ticket in ev?
er}' county in the primary.
MR. HICKS* ADDRESS.
Immigration work and geologi?
cal work were the principal topics
discussed by the State Board of
Agriculture and Immigration,
which held its regular quarterly
meeting here yesterday.
Mr. Percival Hicks, upon invi?
tation of Mr. Beverly, chairman
of the Immigration Committee,
appeared before the board. Mr.
liicks is from Mathews county,
and his presence before the body
-was to give some information lie
had gathered in regard to the im?
migration question. The effort
to introduce into his section Ital
ions from the northern part oi
Italy had not been successful.
The wage wanted for this class
of labor was too high more thai
the farmers could afford to pay,
*Mr. Hicks said that he thought
the state would have to employ
immigration agents to represent
them in the countries from whicl
they desired labor. Mr. Hick;
made a most interesting talk
showing that he was well post?
in regard to the subject.?Time

MATHEWS HIGH SCHOOL.
Mathews, Va., July 29, 1905
Dear Friends:
We, the undersigned, have beei
appointed by the Educations
Board as a Hoard of Managers t<
organize and conduct a high schoo
in connection with the publii
school at Mathews C. H,
We believe the time for del?;
and indecision is past, and hav
decided to open the school th
first Monday in September, 1905
It is the purpose and intention c
the Educational Hoard to hav
this high school belong eventual
ly to the county and become
part of the public school systen
But we are unable to get the ber
efit of the county and state apprc
priation for this purpose for
year or two, so, as the need for
high school is so great, the Kdi
cational Board has decided to b<
gin it on a private basis, i. e. eac
high school pupil must pay a ti
ition of $25 or $30 for a session c
nine month?, until the school ca
be made a part of the publi
school system, then, of cours*
tuition will be free to all count
pupils. We intend to make it th
best school we possibly can b
getting the best teachers withii
ouqHfcch.
W< >w in corres|?ondence
with several teacher? of ability,
of whom we will elect three, a
competent gentleman and two
Lady assistants. The first lady as?
sistant is to be a graduate of the
the State bemale Normal School,
so she may grade the school prop?
erly according tothe publie school
The second lady assistant is to be
a graduate of a reputable college,
The pupils will have the advan?
tage of Music and Art for those
who wish them, tuition for these
bi anchos, of course, being extra.
Good board can be had in the vil?
lage at reasonable rates, either
by the month or from Monday
until Friday. You will receive
shortly a circular giving the names
and recommendations of the teach?
ers we have selected, also fuller
particulars of the plan of the work,
course of study, etc. In the mean?
time we hope you will give us
your material support, and send
us your sons and daughters so we
\vay make a success of this effort
and thus secure a free high school
in the near future.
Respectfully yours,
Alex. James, Pr?s. J. J. Burke,
Secy and Treas. S. E. Richard?
son J. F. Marchant. G. S.
Marchant.
P. S. You would do us a great
favor if you would drop the Sec?
retary a postal, saying whether or
not voii expect to patronize our
school, :\n<\ how many pupils you
will send.

CARDINAL.
A movement is on foot to build a
first class Steamboat wharf at the
mouth of Blackwater, on North River,
for the accomodation of persons living
in the district, and convenience of those
on the Piankitank, Fosters aiul Battery
District. Some talk of a trolley line
from Mobjack to West Point, and from
Fitchetts or Cricket Hill via Mathews.
This will afford the ad vantage of quick
transportation to the interior of the
state and the west.

I call the people;
I assemble the clergy."
When it tolls
"1 mourn for the dead."

Editor, Mathews Journal.
Gentlemen:
I read with much interest in
last week's Journal, the article on
i Mr. Sear's announcement. Per?
mit me to state that the article
; expresses my views, and I am
j sure, the views of all good think
j ing people in this Senatorial Dis
: trict. The position is just this
i we know where Mr. Sears stands
on all vital issues that have come
before the Senate of Virginia, we
know that when the most power?
ful influence was brought to bear
OOt. to break the Baylor Survey,
and even large sums of money
were used, this tin c
1 young man fought the hardest
battle of his life for the people of
Tidewater, and won the victory
that has saved our people from
the tyrany and oppression of mo?
nopolists, who were trying to se?
cure the oyster rocks. We owe
our support to this voung gentle?
man who has so ably represent?
ed us, and I am sure the good
people of Tidewater will cast their
vote for this true and tired young
man, and "bestow honor upon
whom honor is due."

The popularity of the turban hat is

Taking it all round, the millinery of

phue to small, compact styles.
The illustration shows a smart hat of
