WEDMEBDAV, APRIL 6, 1887.
The Fall Campaign—The Spring Elections.
The agitators in the Republican party
who are the most expert dodgers and will
ing to entail any amount of trouble upon
the people, if thereby they can be returned
to power, are assuming that their success
in the Congressional elections last year was
an approval of their methods, and that a
revolution of seutiment has taken place,
and that party strength in Virginia has
been reversed. Following up their tactics,
they strive to embitter the uninformed
voter againßt auy and every effort made by
the Democrats to lead the State out of its
perplexities. They would see its pros
perity forever hindered rather than to have
it said that a Democratic Governor, and a
Legislature in sympathy with his views and
feelings, succeeded in accomplishing its de
liverance and received the approval of the
people for the effort they are making in
that direction. This faction prefer to ex
hibit themselves to the world as a snarling,
plotting set of grumblers, willing to turn
their backs on tbe measure of financial
relief for which their own party endeavored
to secure the acceptance ef the State's credi
tors. Neither that nor any amendment to
it, acceptable to the bondholders, and so
just in its provision as to claim the acqui
eseuce of the people, has any merit until
after they can have the opportunity to
revile it, in order that lost power may be
regained, and then, if successful, be willing
to stultify themselves by accepting it as a
proper and just polioy. Their promises
and their pledges are no more reliable than
the changeable wind for they seek not to
accomplish the just aim of Government,
bat rather that it shall be to them a power
to bestow rewards with no higher aim or
purpose in view.
Whether the hope of all true men—a
fiual settlement of tbe State debt—be ac
complished or not, thus far the wisdom of
Governor Lee in assembling the Legislature
has been vindicated by the proceedings of
that body. If the indications given cut by
the bondholders in their communication to
the Goyernor are adhered to, a final settle
ment acceptable to the great body of the
people will come to pass and that good
result will follow to the commendation aud
praise of those who were instrumental in
effecting it. Certain it is, too, if not ac
complished, the efforts made to that end
and the sincerity guiding their delibera
tions will be adjudged by all fair-minded
men as equal to the occasion, and that
human effort could accomplish no more.—i
But there is good ground at this time to
believe that the end is near at hand, and
that dismay awaits the grumblers and the
discontents who subordinate tho public
weal to party and selfish gain.
The Democratic party does not accept
the offices tendered by its unscrupulous as
sailant and would-be advisors. It prefers
not te be weighed in the balances where
false weights are known to be. It does
not accept as a fact that the failure to vote
last Fall has withdrawn from its ranks so
large a portion of its strength. Thero will
be a Stale Convention of the parly this
Summer aud the plan of the campaign an
noucced in good time. Though the m__.iip
ulations of local questions and the harm
dene by the inactivity in the Congressional
elections n.ay have a tendency to Weaken
some of our strength in the contest, to fol
low, these thiugs will inspire to lenewul
effort the unflinching men who have been
in all the fights i-nd have come out of them
with unshaken c mrage and determination.
If the debt trouble be removed, the people
will know who did it. If it be uot, they
will also know who it was tbat tried earn
estly and faithfully to accomplish that end.
Nor will they fail to remember those who
opposed and endeavored to thwart these
purposes. Under any circumstances which
may come to pass tbe Democratic paity
will occupy strong ground and can assail
their opponents at every point. Failure lo
support the Governor and the Legislature
in a crisis like this is a delinquency bad
enough of itself, but the spirit and the
machinations which beset their efforts
with underhanded thrusts, will become a
reproach and their spurned appliances will
redound to their own infamy.
Our old leader, Mr. Barbour, is again at
the head of the Democratic organization.—
That fact is already giving new strcnglh to
our ranks and is effectually carrying dir
may to the opposition.
The Republican party, during its whole
history, has sought to make the rich richer
and tho poor poorer. In its exercise of
power it sought to entail upou the country
as the means of doing so, a government
made up of the few—of monopolists nnd
millionaires. Tho legislation which it
favored was for preferred classes—to mak.-
-u. favored few wealthy at the expense aud
the utter neglect of the agricultural inter
est that represents eight-tenths of the
power and commerce of the country. A
party which, from its national- down to its
smallest local-organizations manipulates
for corrupt purposes, and seeks to foment
di-Cjrd aud Btrife between the people
without regard to consequences that its
devotees may prosper, is no better now
than it has been, and this should of itselr
for all time prevent any association with it
of Democrats who have contended against
it. Certainly it can Dot be that those who
failed to vote in tho late Congressional
election discovered then or since new
merits in its composition or that they in
te d now to be numbered in its ranks
The present tactics for distributing county
offices in the May elections for the benefit
of the Republican party should be sufficient
to excite the condemnation of the Demo
crats everywhere. In the counties where
that party has the ascendancy, party lines
are d.awn tightly aud party fealty nnd
service are the tests for office. In Demo
cratic counties, a different set of tactics is
made out for their guidance. Dissimula
tion is the most conspicuous. The object
is to def .rat by independents or otherwise
tho regular nominees of the Democratic
party and thus make an impression of
popular sentiment prejudicial to the Demo
cratic party in the fall elections. The w»y
to bo prepared for that issue and to con
tinue the ascendency of the Democratic
majority in the Legislature is to organizo
nosr and for the May elections. To hold
our party strength everywhere and under
all ciic.rmstiiice.s should bo the watch-word;
for unless we do that now, the more im
portant contest for the success of the
Democrats iv November wiil be endangered.
The Franklin Senator.—slr. Brown
who was elected as au Independent to the
Senate from Franklin county, has been
frequently put down as a Republican,
which is not correct. In a late caucus of
the Democratic members ofthe Legislature,
Se lator Brown entered it and participated
ir ill ill lit in 111 w. That tellies the quee
ti.n of his party relations.
The Bondholders Coming—The Mission to
Confer With Them.
In addition to the previous phases of the
contemplated conference with the bond
holders, the legislative proceedings of
Monday are of increased inportance. Gov.
Lee communicated the following message
which was ordered to be printed.
London, April 4, 1887.
To His Excellency, Governor Lee, Richmond,
Va.:
Commission in preparation, and will
start in a few days. I will further advise
you when ready. BoDVEBIE.
Following this the President of the Sen
ate and Speaker of the House of Delegates
appointed the commissioners, viz: Of the
Senate, Stubbi, of Gloucester; Wickham'of
Hanover; and Rhea of Washington. Of
the House, Barbour, of Culpeper; Figgat,
of Botetourt; Pollard, of King and Queen
Downing,of Warren, and Darst.of Pulaski.
By resolution of hoth houses, the Presiding
cfficer of each is added to the Commission.
DEMOCRATSrvOTE, VOTE.
The only way that Democratic voters can
do justice to themselves or the friends they
wish to be nominated and elected is te vote
when the ballot-box shall be presented to
them. If they do not vete, their choice
may fail to receive the nomination, and
then they will reproach themselves for not
voting. The voter has everything to gain
and nothing to lose by voting, for by voting
and getting others to do likewise, be may
get his ohoice nomiuated, whereas if he fail
to do so, his choice may not be nominated,
and yet it will be as much his duty to vete
for the nominee,—though not his choice—
as it would be if he had voted. In a word,
the failure to vote iv the nominating prima
ry dees not relieve the voter from his obli
gation to support the nominee. Be sure to
vote and get your choice nominated if you
can, and if you fail to do so, like a good
Democrat, give those nominated your ci*r
dial support. That is the way to preserve
the party, and that is the way every good
and true Democrat should act. To fail or
refuse to vote in the primary, is to do just
what the Republicans want you to do.
Duty of Democrats tn Support the Party
Nominees.
Editor of Spectator: —Please let the
people (Dem.) know through your columns
about the travelling ballot-box. Can a man
vote say for one or two of the candidates of
the Democrats and not be bound to vote
for all or be obligated to sustain tbe whole
ticket. I ask this for information of some
that would like to know.
X.
In reply we would say that the purpose
is to give every Democrat an opportunity
to vote for his preference for nomination
for each of the offices to be filled.
A Democrat, of course, can exercise his
option as to whether he will vote for all or
a part or none, but the fact that he does
not vote for all or even none, does not re
lieve bim from his obligation as a Demo
crat from voting for the ticket nominated.
It is as much the duty ofthe Democrat who
does not vote in the piimary as it is of the
Democrat who docs, to support the ticket
nominated by the majority voting.
The failure or refusal to vote in the pri
mnry does not relieve a man who acknowl
eges his allegiance to his paity from his
party obligation to support the regularly
nominated ticket of his paity. It is a mis
taken notion tbat, if a men takes no part
in nominating a ticket of his party, he is
under no obligation to vote for it.
Ex-Auditor Brown Allen, of Virginia,
now a clerk in the office of the Secretary of
the Senate, one of General Mahoue's advi
sers and staunchest supporters, wheu asked
Friday if he knew the cliaraetei of the plan
fir tbe settlement of the debt question in
his State which the newspapers said Gen.
Mahone is preparing, replied that that plan
was only known to the General and his con
(Merit iai friends, and that the General would
be very angry with the man who would
make it public before he was ready to
do so. "Besides," said he, "it isuotour
business to be supplying the democrats with
ideas for settling the debt.- Wash. Cor.
Alex Gazette.
The Republican papers are protesting
against the Democrats for trying to settle
the debt question—saying they are making
it a party question. The Democrats do not
wish to make it a party question, and de
-iro the Republicans to co operate with
them; but how is it possible for them to do
so, when the Republicans refuso to give
their ideas as to how it should be settled
They refuse to aid the Democrats, and hence
the Democrats are reduced to the necessity
of settling it themselves, or allowing it to
remain unsettled; and that the Republicans
do not want it settled, is evident from the
votes of the Republicans in both branches
of the Legislature, and the fact that Ma
hone and other Republican leaders refuse
to make knowu their veiws as to how it
should bo settled.
The Kern York Journal of Commerce, in
its department of "Replies and Decisions"
answers one of its Staunton subscribers a
question which was propounded in connec
tion with the decision en the Drummers'
License law of Tennessee ard the recent
act of Congress, known as the Inter-State
Commerce law, as to how the commerce be
tween the States is to be regulated here
after. This is a vital matter to our mer
chants, and the reply of the paper leads to
further examination. That journal is a
standard authority, and daily returns an
swers to enquiries of paramount interest on
many subjects, but tbey can only be known
through its own columns as a copyright
protects it in their publication. This de
partment of journalism is original with that
paper, and its value is best realized by
these who are seeking information, not
knowing where else to obtain it. It em
braces history, art, commerce, law, litera
ture, agriculture, manil'acturing, Sec, and
confines answers to the enquiries of its
patrons.
Unpaid newspaper work. —The Nor
folk Landmark, in speaking of the "unpaid
work" done by the newspapers, says:
"They do more unpaid work than any
other business enterprises in the world, and
we do not exaggerate when we make this
statement."
There ie not a particle of exaggeration in
tbat statement, for it is as true as if writ
ten by the pen of an archangel. "Tbe
laborer," the scriptures assure us, ''is
worthy of his hire;'' but if he bo a news
paper man, he does not receive it, either in
money or thanks. He is made to grind in
the mill like a blind Samson, but he receives
but a niggardly part of the toll.
Remedy for hog cholera.—To one pint
of kerosene eil put half-pint of spirits of
turpentine and two ounces of gum-camphor.
Shake this up together until tho camphor is
dissolved. Then pour the mixture over
your shattered corn, stirring it np so that
some will gat ou all of it, then throw out to
the hois.
Wo would advise those wh. have this
terrible disease among their to try this
remedy. Mr. R. A. Penick, rfgsath Bos

a charm.

Commissioner.—Gsn. James C. Hill io
signed the office ef Sergsant-at- Arms ofthe
House of Delegates Saturday afternoon,
having received the nomination for Railroad
Commissioner by the Democratic caucus
Friday night, and the House elected Mr.
William R. Games, of the county of Char
lotte, by a unanimous vote.
Sergeant-at-Arms Games is a native of
Charlotte county. He served as lieutenant
in the Fourteenth Virginia Regiment of cav
alry during the late war; lost his left leg at
the battle of Morefield on the retreat from
Chambersburg, Va.; was elected a member
of the House of Delegates from Charlotte
county in 1873, and was the first Demosrat
elected to the Legislature from the Fourth
congressional district after the war. j He is
a fine gentleman, a pure man, and will fill
the position With credit.
Gen. Hill was elected Railroad Commis

by every vote in the Senate except thtt of
Gen. Wiokham who voted for H. G. Mef

Our Public Schools.—We are indebted
to Prof. J. L. Buchanan for a copy of the
sixteenth annual report of the Superinten
dent of Public Instruction for the year end
ing July 31, 1886. It is an exceedingly
interesting public document—full of valu
able information concerning the schools
and their progress. Among various other
facts it appears that the number of schools
in 1886 was 6,763, an increase ef 188 over
the number opened in 1885. The average
length of the school term was 5.02 months
and average monthly salary ef teachers,
for males, $30.77 females, $26.54. The
total cost of the public school system for
the year 1885 was $1,453,102.53 of which
the State supplied $831,794.65, and the
counties and cities, $624,306.88. The
school population, as shown by the census
of 1885, is 610,271, and tho total enrollment
for 1886 was 308,296, an increase of 4,953
over the preceding year. There were 304
school houses built during the year.
John G. Saxe.—John Godfrey Saxe died
at Albany, New York, on Thursday last, in
the seventy-second year of his age. In the
maturity of his powers as a writer of witty
squibs aud humorous poetry, Mr. Saxe was
one of the most popular men of his time.—
Better known than Dr. Oliver
Holmes, whose fame as a wit and a humor
ist was for many years rather local than
general, the poems tbat gave Saxe his high
est reputation were those that struck at the
follies of the day, and they were differen
tiated from those of Dr. Holmes in being
less refined and less genial, but abounding
in sharp satirical hits. Mr. Saxe was a
Yermonter by birth, and after graduating
at Middleburg College began the practice
of law in that State. But the bent of his
mind unfitted him for grave legal studies,
and turned him towards a literary career.

Suicide in Charlottesville.—Last
Sunday morning, at 10:30 o'olock, Mr. H.
H. George, a merchant of Charlottesville,
killed himself by the discharge of a double
barrel shot-gun, both loads taking effect in
the throat. Immediately on the report of
the gun, his neighbors rushed into the out
house from which the sound was heard, and
found him standing and still breathing. He
died in half an hour. Mr. George married
a daughter of Mr. James Alexander, tbe
veteran editor, and leaves a widow and four
children.
He had acquired a fine estate, and was
highly respected. He had gone into a rael
aucholly state of miud from apprehension
that he would be attacked with cancer, from
which disease a brother had died, and in
deranged mental anxiety committed the
act.

Death op Mr. Beale V. Kayser.—
This gentleman, aged 61 years, died, at
Clifton Forge, on' Sunday ot last week, of
softening of the braiu. He was born and
lived the greater part of his life on the old
Rogers place, now owned by the R. &A.
Coal and Iron Co., and called "Iron Gate."
He married in ISSI, after which he remov
ed to Clifton Forge where he spent the re
mainder of his life. He was an Elder in
the Presbyterian church at Clifton Forge.
The Alleghany Sentinel says.—
"He leaves a wife and two little children
who have the tender sympathy of the com
munity, lie was buried from tbe Locust
Bottom Church on Tuesday. His funeral
services were canduoted by Rev. E. W.

Unveiling the Statue of Gen. Al
bert Sydney Johnston. —To-day, April
Bth, has been selected as the day for un
veiling the equestrian statue ©f Albert
Sydney Johnston in Metaire cemetery, New
Orleans, this day being the twenty-fifth an
niversary of that distinguish soldier's death.
The ceremonies are to occur at about the
hour of the day when he received his fatal
wound at Shiloh, and the occasion is to be
a testimonial of the spirit of peace, loyalty
and good-will that pervades almost without
exception the hearts of the people of the
South.
The Treasure Economical.—The pres
ent administration is making reforms in
dustriously here and there as oppor
tunity offers. An example is afforded iv
the action of the chief of division of loans
and currency in the Treasury Department
in reducing the cost to the government of
distinctive paper. Under the new centraot.
10,954,000 sheets were prepared, against
8,784,500 under the old, and the new pro
duct weighs 28,524 pounds more. The time
saved was 118 days. and $1,075 42 was saved
in the cost of superintendence.

Declines to Accept the Call.—We
learn from tbe Monroe Co. (W. Va Watch
man that "Rev. Dr. M. L. Lacy of Lewis
burg, has declined to accept the call to the
pastorate of the Mt. Pleasant and Union
Presbyterian churches, whieb was recently
proffered bim. These congregations are
proceeding to make arrangements for the
calling of some other clergyman.''
An Accident.—On Friday week, whilst
Mr. A. B. McComb was at work in If unter

Pocahontas Times, "feil a distance of 15

LETTER FROM FOREIGN BONDHOLDERS TO
GOV. LEE.
The following letter was handed to the
Governor Thursday by Mr.'James P. Coop
er, financial agent of the foreign bondhold
ers:
Council of Foreign Bondholders,
17 Morgate Street, I
London, March 16th, 1887. j
To His Excellency Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, Gov
ernor of the Stale of Virginia, Richmond,
Virginia, U. S. A.:
Sir, —In view of the extra session of the
Virginia Legislature, which it is understood
has been summoned for the purpose of con
sidering, among other things, the present
condition of tbe State debt, the Council of
the Corporation of Foreign Bondholders
and the Committee of English Virginia
Bondholders, acting in conjunction with
the council, beg leave to invite yonr atten
tion to their letter to your Excellency dated
Bth October, 1886, handing you copies of
the resolutions passed at a public meeting
of the Virginia bondholders, held in this
city on the 24th of September last, wherein
they expressed their willingness to meet
the State in a fair and liberal spirit, and to
acoept a compromise of their demands on
the State, based ou the ability of the State
to discharge its obligations without raising
the present rate of taxation.
Iv order to render more effective any ac
tion which the committee may take, and
with the object of bringing the bondholders
under one representation (should the con
summation they earnestly desire be arrived
at), the committee have lately called on
Virginia bondholders to deposit their bonds
on trust with tbe Corporation of Foreign
Bondholders. The following is an extract
from the "Conditions aud Objects of De
posit of Bonds" set forth on the certificates
of deposit:
"The object of the deposit of the bonds
and coupons is to invest, and the party
lodging tho same as holder thereof there
by invests the Corporation of Foreign Bond
holders with the following powers, exer
cisable in concurrence with the Committee
of Virginia State Bondholders:
(a.) To act as the representatives of the
holders for the time being-, collectively and
individually, of all bonds and coupons de
posited for all purposes, and witb all the
powers which such holders themselves have
or can exercise iv relation to their rights
as such holders.
(6.) To negotiate aud (when ratified by
resolution of a general meeting of certifi
cate-holders) to conclude arrangements
with the State of Virginia or others in re
lation to the said bonds and coupons on any
terms, and to carry the same into effect by
presenting the same bonds and coupons to
the proper authority, and exchanging them
for other securities or otherwise; and to
generally act iv all things as they may
think expedient in the interests or on be
half of the bondholders.
(c.) To delegate any of such powers to
any person or persons.
The Corporation of Foreign Bondholders
is is a public body (not a private company
or undertaking) constituted by a special
charter of the Board of Trade for public
purposes, and especially to represent and
protect the interests of foreign bondholders,
and it is precluded by its charter from
dividing auy profits amongst its members.
The geutlement constituting the Virginia
committee, acting in conjunction with the
Corporation of Foieign Bondholders, dis
claim auy feeling., of hostility towards the
State, and desire only to secure for their
constituents what they conceive to be a
reasonable recognition of their rights, and
to arrange such matters as are iv dispute
in an amicable manner and on a basis which
shall be satisfactory to both parties.
The Corporation of Foreign Bondhold
ers have effected arrangements concerning
the public debts of tbe following States,
whose total, indebtedness amounted to
£673,745,000, viz Spain, Turkey, Egypt,
Mexica, Venezuela, Costaßioa, Paraguay,
Uruguay, Greece, Bolivia, Colombia, etc.
The committee of Virginia Bondholders
are of opinion tbat a fair settlement can be
arrived at, and tbat any arrangement which
commends itself to them will be cheerfully
accepted by the bondholders at large.
They would, however, remind your Excel
lency that the longer a settlement is de
ferred the more difficult it will be to secure
tho unanimous support of the bondholders,
whose claims naturally increase as time
goes on, and as the enforcement of their
right is placed on a firmer footing by the
successive decisions of the Federal courts
of tbe United States.
Tha committee would remind your Ex
cellency that the bondholders were not
granted an opportunity of presenting their
claims at the time of the passage of the
Riddleberger act, and that they cannot be
expected to acquiesce in a settlement in re
gard to which they have not been consult
ed. They ask for compromise by consent,
not by coercion.
The committee will be prepared at any
time, if required, to send out duly qualified
representatives, not necessarily bondhold
ers, to Virginia, to negotiate a settlement,
or they would welcome a duly authorised
commission which may be sent to London
by the State with the object of arriving at
a just agreement with themselves.
When the desired end is accomplished
the committee will be ready to withdraw
their agents and representatives in Virgin
ia, and will loyally co-operate with the
State in obtaining the acceptance by all the
creditors of such terms as may be agreed
upon.
I have the honor to be, sir, your most
obedient servant.
E. Pletdell Bouverie,
Chairman of the Council of Foreign Bond
holders and Chairman ef the Committee
of Virginia Bondholders.
COMMUNICATION FROM THE GOVERNOR.
On Friday Gov. Lee communicated the
following to the General Assembly:
Commonwealth of Virginia,
Governor's Office,
Richmond. Va., April 1, 1887. J
To the General Assembly of Virginia:
I have the honor to transmit herewith
the following dispatch from the chairman
of the Virginia Committee of the Council
of Forcigu Bondholders.
The dispatch of the 31st, to which refer
ence is iiv.de, was a response to an inquiry
requesting to be informed whether the
commissi.-u would be allowed to ascertain
by examination what is the amount of rev
enue on the present basis of taxation re
maining after the necessary expenses ef
the State are defrayed. I responded tbat

ascertain 'his amount; but any conclusion
reached try the joint commission would un

In ordt-r that due time may be given for

Tbe period of thirty days is named be

Fitzhugh Lee.
a cablegram from the bondholders
London, April 1, 1837.
To His Excellency, Gov. Lee, Richmond:
Your c.ble ef the 31st is satisfactory.
It is essentia), however, that sufficient time
be allowed for due examination and discus
sion of the question. Would the Legisla
ture suspend and reassemble after, say,
thirty daj v to receive the report of the com
mittee, or will your committee have power
to sit after the dissolution of the preseut
Legislature and report to the next Legis
lature? If the deliberations were limited
to the pn sent sitiing of the Legislature,
the few d ys after arrival in Virginia would
be altogrrher insufficient, and it would be
useless our sending a commission. Now,
it would In better, under such circumstan
ces, to pos' pone the commission until the
autumn. Is my letter of March 16th as to
bonds re) resented and controlled by this
Council satisfactory? I await cable reply.

DEATn of a Promising Young Man.—
After tho bravest fight for life wo have
ever seen made by any one, Fletcher Mill
er, the youngest son of Rev. J. I Milier, D.
D., of this place, departed this life last
Thursday morning at 11:25 o'clock. Af
flicted for several years with a malady in
variably fatal, and from its nature depress
ing, he struggled manfully against its rav
ages and to tbe last maintained a hopeful
and cheerful disposition. When he could
hold out no longer in tbe unequal contest
against, our common enemy, aud became
conscious "f the fact that the sands of bis
yoHng life were running low, with a calm
ness and fortitude unusual in one of his
years, he .'.signed himself confidently and
trustfully into the bands of Him in whom
for years his trust had been, and manifest
ed no fear at the approach of death, re
marking to his weeping friends that it was
all well with his soul. He was a young
man of bright promise and of decided in
tellectual ability, excelling especially in
mechanic >1 pursuits, having made a num
ber of iugr nious and useful inventions. He
was iv Im. 21st year. His funeral servioes
were conducted by Rev. Dr. Gilbert, of
Winchester, whose address on the occasion
was one of tho most chaste and beautiful
we have ever heard. A very large con
course of sympathizing friends followed his
remains to the Cemetery.— Page Courier,

Prosperity in Georgia.
Rome has a large share—a frettt
city—its industries—schools—rail
roads AND IMPROVEMENT COMPANY.
[Correspondence of the Spkctatob.]
Rome, Ga., March 23, 1887.
Business brought me here, and I found
the city on a boom. To me it was some
thing different than I had ever seen before,
and if your space is not full, perhaps a
short letter might interest yonr readers.
Now the idea of boom to me has always
been trying to make something out of
nothing, building a town on paper or in the
mind of an active real-estate agent. Bnt
not so with Rome. Here the stranger is
greeted with a city of 11,000, with beauti
ful streets, fine stores and residences, and
the busy hum of manufacturing establish
ments already producing near'y $1,500,000
per year, and giving employment to over
500 persons. Tbe wholesale trade amounted
last year to $5,000,000, and the retail trade
to $3,000,000. Over 100,000 bales of cot
ton were purchased here, 85,000 of which
was shipped to the New England mills.
Churches, schools and civilization are
here. Two flourishing female colleges or
the public schools, which are second to
none in the South, offer ample opportunities
to eduoate children. About 11 per cent of
Rome's population (or 1,200 scholars) are
enrolled in these schools. Could I say
more in favor of the town
Five railroad lines center here, and as
soon as the shoals are removed from tha
Coosa River, Rome will bave direct river
communication with tbe Gulf of Mexico,
and, besides, there are two new railroads
nearly completed. So you see there is no
end to the means of bringing raw material
and freight here and carrying away the
manufactured products to any point of the
compass.
But what about tbe boom t It is here,
that is sure. The hotels are full; real
estate agents are on almost every square.—
Land is bought and resold the next day at
a profit. Last Saturday a gentleman who
owns a lot near town offered it to a specu
lator, and while he waited an hoar to de
cide, it was Bold for $1,500. It is cethicg
for $50, $75 and $200 to be offered for your
bargains. Tbis is making money rapidly.
I oould enumerate many instanaos, if space
would permit.
The organization of the Rome Land and
Improvement Company was the main-spring
that set this ball in motion. This company
was organized on the 2nd of March, and its
stock is now worth $230, and but little in
the market. This company is controlled
by representative business' men of Rome,
and te them tbe town owes much for its
present prosperity. They control saveral
thousand acres of land near town, aud
about 50,000 acres of mineral lands on tho
line of the raijroads centering here. Thus
far they have not sold any of their lands,
but they have been very liberal in advertis
ing tbe town and inducing manufacturing
establishments to locate here. Tbey offer
free building rites for new industries lo
cating here aud they will also take stock
when so desired
Now will this boom last We think it
will, for with a healthy climate, where tbe
cold of winter is not severe, nor tbe hsat of
summer excessive, where Juno air prevails
and good water is in abundance where
raw materials of all kinds are at its vory
door; with transportation lines to the four
points of the compass, Rome must grow.—
Perhaps she may not rival New York or
Philadelphia, but her population in the
next ten years will be more thau doubled.
The Southern States are increasing in
wealth and population each year. And if
Rome's public-spirited citizens have taken
the tide at its flood and are riding on to
fortune, who will stand by and say nay

ef sanctified reason and common sense.
"I want to put this book into tbe hands
ofall the skeptically inclined, as an aid and
guard against tha growing scientific skepti

Mrs. Cameron's Attempted Suicide.
—Chicago, April I.—A News special from
La Crosse, Wis., says: Mrs. Angus Came
ron, wife of Ex-United States Senator Cam
eron, attempted to drown herself in tho
river last evening. She was seen by two
men wandering toward the river. The men
followed hor, bat she managed to elude
them and plunged into the stream. Bearch
was made along the stream and her half
frozen body was found and taken from tbe
water. She was taken to the Internation
al Hotel and was restored to consciousness.
She was resting quietly at a late hour.
Mrs. Cameron sustained an injury to her
spine in a collision on the Brooklyn and
New Toik ferry, from the effects of which
she has never fully recovered. A close
watch has been kept of her movements
ever since, because she has not been in her
right mind. Last night she managed to
get ont on the street and sought te end her
life at the same place where the Senator's
brother committed suicide.
