BOOSTED FOR CONGRESS.
Speaking in laudatory tonea of Con
greaaman Jones, the Mathewa Journal
nevertheieas thinks he ought to atep
out of the way for othera, particularly
ex-State Senator Seara. The Journal
aays:
"While all these things are true of
Mr.Jones, there ia a feeling among
many peraons in all parte of the First
District that it is time to give some
body elae a ahow. For twenty years he
has enjoyed the honor and emolument
of representing this District inCongress
if hia ambition is not satisfied, then
aome position of even higher
honor and trust should be his goal,
"It is true that Mr. Jones has made
a capable and erficient representative,
but there are other men in the district
who are equally capable of ethciently
repreaenting this* constituency. We
have in mind at present a gentleman
from our own fair little county. one who
is the peer of any man in thia section of
Virginia in ability, in statesmanahip
and in aterling worth of character; a
man more over whom the people of
Tidewater ahould delight to honor we
refer to Hon. J. Boyd Sears. There' are
doubtleaa othera who are capable, but
none who would be more acceptable to
the people at large. We do not on gen
eral principlea approve of putting good
men out of offic, but neithor do we
believe in monoply of anything, offlce
Jeaetof all."
POUTICAL.
Mrs. Marilla M. Ricker, of Dovt r,
N. II., has anuounced herself as a can
didatd for Governor of New Hampshire
andproposes to mak*? a bruising fight
ui.til the people of the Commonwealth
S'-ttle the question at the polls at the
next election.
The time having expired in which
candidates could file notices of theii
candidacy for the Democratic nomina
tion for Congress in the First Conjjres
sional district. and Hon. W. A. Jones
alone having filed such notice, he will
be declared the nominee of the part>
for theoffice.
Al though the election for the next
governor of Virginia will not be held
for over three years yet at least tive
candidates for the position are already
in the field. These gentlemen evidently
believe that the early bird catches the
worm. Instances are known, however,
when the early bird has been cnught.?

Not every man is in politics for what
there is in it. In fact, inspite of many
things that would seem to indicate the

not unoften we find men who in devot
ing their life to the services of their
party and country by accepting office

PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENTS.
In the election this fall the sover
eigns of Virginia will be called upon to
vote upon four proposed amendmenta
to the organic law of this Common
wealth, at least thrcc of which are of
matcrial importance, though nobody
seeins the least bit excited over the
matter. In fact hardly anybody seems
to know that the constitutional amend?
menta will figure in the election, and
so far as outward signs go, thcre's not
a soul who cares. Certainly it does
not look as if the contemplated changes
will be regarded as anything like an
isaue.
One of the amendments proposes to
extend the session of the Legislature
from sixty to ninety days.
A second amendment would simplify
the legislative procedure and reducc
the number of readings which every
bill now haa to g? through with
The third amendment provides for
the election of Commissioners of the
Revenue and other officials by popular
vote.
HEARING ON TRAP-FISHING.
By authority of the Secretary of War
a Board of Officers of the Corps of En

Casey, Major Mason H. Patrick and
Capt. Warren T. Hannum, will assem -
ble at the U. S. Engineer Office, 309
Custom House, Baltimore, Md., at

the subject of establishment of regula

fishing appliances in Chesapeake Bay
and its tributary waters, with a view
to reaching an adjustment which will
t>e juat and equitable to all interests.
At this hearing representatives of nav
gation interests and the fishing indus

OYSTER PIRATE ARRESTED.
Capt. 0. W. Hudson, of the police
boat James River, last week arrested
Jaa. Stevens charged with dredging
oystera out of aeason on the Potomac.
When Stevens and hia helpers saw that
they had been discovered they ran their
vessel ashore and made their escape.
The boat was confiscated and tied up
and locked. Stevens waa subsequently
arrested and had a hearing before Jua
tice W. C. Minor. There was no evi
dence to prove that Stevens was actu
ally in the boat at the time, and he was
discharged. A fine of $50 was assesaed
against the boat, which will be adver
tised and sold at auction within twenty
days. The officiala state that the oya
ter laws will be strictly enforced against
all olfenders.
MR. ANDERTON BLAZES THE WAY.
We reproduce the following from
last week's Southside Sentinel, also
copy elsewhere the two letters referred
to, which we trust may be widely read
and profit derived therefrom:
The card published by Mr. C. H. An
derton to his merchant f riends in thia
issue indicates thatat least one Rich?
mond firm ia doing a profitable busineaa
in this territory in spite of the lack of
transpnrtation facilities. If other firms
in Greater Richmond would put such
men as Mr. Anderton among us, they
too would find that we are ready and
anxious to do dusiness with them. Then,
perhaps, Richmond would open hereyes

CHURCH WRECKED BY WIND STORM.
The severest wind storm ever kr.own
threatened the town of Tappahannock
Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock. It was
the neareat approach to a cyclone ever
experienced in that section. It blew
down building8, moved house3, and
swept off fruit trees and beautiful
shade trees level with the ground. The
Firat Baptiat church (colored), the
largest and handaomest church in town,
is a total wreck. So far as heard from,
the storm was confined to the immediate
iricinity of Tappahannock.
BIG CATCH OF TROUT.
Capt. W. E. White, of fishing ateam
er Wicomieo, caught about 30,000 trout
at one haul ten milea at aea Monday,
which he sold in Norfolk at retail from
his boat.
Aa the captain reported thathe caught
the fish in the ocean beyond the three
mile limit, there was no queation that
he was acting within his right, but after
June 16th aale of ediblefish caught with
purse net will be prohibited in Virginia

METHODIST CONFERENCE CLOSES.
The General Conference of the Meth
odists at Asheville, N. C, adjourned sint
die Saturday. The next session will be
held beginning the first Wedneaday in
May, 1914.
The change in the wording of the
Apostlea' Creed was made by amajority
vote. It has been for some time past a
great deaire on the part of some the
preachera and laymen for the words
"The Holy Catholic Church" tobe taken
out of the ereed, and the worda "The
Church of God" inserted in their place
The name of the church was also
changedfrom "The Methodist Epiacopal
Church, South," to "The Methodist
Church in America." This change waa
made by avote of 154 to 63, but muat

address the delegates on the right of
women to sit in councils of the church,
and for equal rights with the laity. The
memorial from the Woman'o Home

rights of the laity be granted to the
women of the church was defeated by a
vote of 74 to 188.
PERPLEXING MARITIMECONDITIONS
Hia veasel held 15 daya by oyater
plantera of Mathewa county, Va., Capt.
Ashton, of the schooner William Oliver,
is wondering what are the rights of the
Government over navigable waters of
the Cheaapeake. The Oliver loaded
part cargo of lumber on East river for
Baltimore and dropped down about one
mile and anchored in the channel near
Long Point on May 5th. Without be?
ing nolified to move his anchorage two
men came on board with an attachment,
which demanded $250 fordestroying the
oyster beda of Joseph F. Foster.
The ornciala remained on board in
charge while Capt. Ashton went toNor
folk and reported the caae to the Fed
eral authorities. There he waa adviaed
to pay no fine, but at the aame time the
Federal officials did not volunteer to aa
aiat him out of trouble. Returning to
the vesse! he was met by Capt. D. B.
Jonea, of Cambridge, Md., owner of the
vessel. The caae wa8 tried at Mathews
Courthouse, and the compromise was
that the owner pay $35, which waa done,
and the veaael allowed to proceed. Capt.
Ashton, who pay8 and feeds hia crew,

HALLEY'S HUMBUG.
The comet haa disappointed all, even
the scientiats. School girls make fun
of it, and allude to it as "Calley'a
Homet," "Halley's Comic," and auch
aacriligioua terma. The Richmond

"Of all diaappointing, overrated,
overadvertiaed humbugs, the late Mr.'
Halley'a far-famed comet is the limit.
With more than half the world upset
for montha and on the edge of expecta
tion?notto mention some anxiety?it
came limping in Saturday evening, a
miserable, disreputable little tallow
candle affair without any tail. A Japa
neae lantern in a pine tree would have
looked more dignified, more attractive,
and infinitely more respectable. The
pejple who were frightened muat feel
positively fcailly. The amall boy who
could not take a little damp powder
and get up a better exhibition on
Chriatmaa eve, and 'produce aomething
more dangeroua and attractive than
this comet, ought to be apanked. The
icientiata should be thoroughly ashamed
)f themselves. Their wretched comet
a not fit to put in a little girl's doll
