The Republican candidate for Gov¬ ernor, Hon. L. L. Lewis, attended by Hon. Campbell Slemp, of Big Stone Gap, and Hon. D. Lawrence droner, of Norfolk, put in an appearance at Accomac C. H. on Thursday, as ad¬ vertised, ana addressed a small gathering of the voters of the county, of about one hundred, half or more of which number were Democrats. In reporting the meeting there is not much that can be said of it. The speeches were given an atteutive hearing but were received without en¬ thusiasm even on the part of the Re¬ publicans and no accessions, it is safe to say, were made to the ranks of the g. o. p. on the dav.and that is about all that can be said of it. Indeed there was nothing in the speeches to convince any Democrat that it was his duty to desert hisparty. The effort of Mr. Slemp, who was the the first to present his views, was nothing moi© than a rehash of the beauties of Re¬ publicanism and the glory that had fallen to the country under Republi¬ can rule, which the Democrats pres¬ ent had heard scores of times before without being convinced, lt was the same old speech which he had made, doubtless,hundreds of times before and with the same disregard for good morals, perhaps,as he did on that day in his appeal to the Democrats to for¬ get the pledges made at the primary and vote the Republican ticket. Judge Lewis, who followed him, can hardly be said to have made a speech.his en¬ tire remarks almost being confined to a contradiction of the charges recent¬ ly made against him, that in his early career he favored the "intermarriage of the races.". To the last speaker, Mr. Groner, was left the part to play, which the Republicans consider their highest trump-card and he did it with all the- arts of a demagogue. The suc¬ cess of the Republican party in this campaign, he said, meant free school books for aU the children,but no man, not even Republican tax-payers pres¬ ent could be deceived by him. Free school books, everybody knows, means more taxes which will have to be paid by the white people or the closing of the schools,as it would take about half of the present school fund te pay for the books. In fact there is no necessity for free school books, as Mr. Groner and well informed Repub¬ licans know, as there is a law, which provides that books shall be furnished free to all who are not able to pay for them. President Roosevelt reached Rich¬ mond Wednesday on a tour of the South and found the gates of the city wide open to receive him, with a wel¬ come too hearty and sincere on the part of all its officials and citizens not to be appreciated by him. The Pres¬ ident showed that he was pleased with the greeting he received in the several speeches made by him in the Capitol square, at the banquet at the Masonic temple and at the Lee Monu¬ ment, where he spoke to a large num¬ ber of Confederate veterans All of his speeches, in fact, were full of praise for the South and its people. He paid a high tribute to the valor of the Confederate soldiers during the Civil War and the progress the South had made in every branch of industry in the 40 years of peace. "Only a heroic people," he said, "could have battled successfully against the con¬ ditions with which the people of the South found themselves face to face after the war." The historic great¬ ness of Virginia too was commented upon by him and given the first place not only in the South but among all the States. "On the honor roll of those American worthies whose great¬ ness is not only for the age but for all time.not only for the nation but for all the world.on this honor roll," he said, "Virginia's name stands above all others." No utterance, however, made by him was received with more satisfaction than, "that the standards of higher races are not for those of less advancement," which was con¬ strued as an expression of his belief that there should be no such thing as that of equality of the races. The hearty welcome which he received in Virginia will, doubtless, be accorded him in the whole South. As the chief magistrate of the nation he is entitled to be thus honored and it is hoped that his whole tour maybe an un-( qualified success. 1 n, to- 7th. r28. .

In loving remembrance of Sudie Hy slope, the daughter of Orban Vf. and Hester A. Downing who died Wednesday, October 4, 1905, aged 17 years. The Lord hath given her rest, From her sorrow and suffering, The Saviour hath wiped away her tears, And bidden her come home. Good-bye then dear sister, A sad good-bye. 'Tis hard to see the cold grave closed, Over the form of her we love, But 'tis through death's cold embrace, We enter world above. Sister Annie. Another faithful one has left our band, To join her loved ones on the hap¬ py shore, Wp know her exit is a blissful change, Add yet we grieve that here we'll see her face no more. An exemplary life for young and old she led, As one and all who knew her will agree, So gentle loving and so kind, Filled with these graces, faith, hope and charity. And when in youth beside that cot she sat, And soothed with gentle touch the child who lingered there, No murmur or impatient word escaped her lips, Content to watch and all histroubles share. True missionary zeal she amply bore, Nor ever felt too much her means she gave, Happy the thought if in this way, In distant lands some darkened soul to save. I think already in that heavenly land, Where falls no shadows,where there will be no night, Many from China and Japan have clasped her with a loving hand, And said you helped me to the light. Loved ones you will sadly miss her in your home, Where many years she gave her counsel and her love, But best of all the battle is fought the victory won, And now she reigns with him above. Now friends by this let us fresh cour¬ age take, And follow Him, our faithful friend and guide, Cheered onward by the inspiring thought, We are on the winning side.

The Republican candidate for Gov¬ernor, Hon. L. L. Lewis, attended byHon. Campbell Slemp, of Big StoneGap, and Hon. D. Lawrence droner,of Norfolk, put in an appearance atAccomac C. H. on Thursday, as ad¬vertised, ana addressed a smallgathering of the voters of the county,of about one hundred, half or more ofwhich number were Democrats.In reporting the meeting there is

not much that can be said of it. Thespeeches were given an atteutivehearing but were received without en¬

thusiasm even on the part of the Re¬publicans and no accessions, it is safeto say, were made to the ranks of theg. o. p. on the dav.and that is aboutall that can be said of it. Indeedthere was nothing in the speeches to

convince any Democrat that it was

his duty to desert hisparty. The effortof Mr. Slemp, who was the the first to

present his views, was nothing moi©than a rehash of the beauties of Re¬publicanism and the glory that hadfallen to the country under Republi¬can rule, which the Democrats pres¬ent had heard scores of times beforewithout being convinced, lt was thesame old speech which he had made,doubtless,hundreds of times before andwith the same disregard for goodmorals, perhaps,as he did on that dayin his appeal to the Democrats to for¬

get the pledges made at the primaryand vote the Republican ticket. JudgeLewis, who followed him, can hardlybe said to have made a speech.his en¬

tire remarks almost being confined toa contradiction of the charges recent¬

ly made against him, that in his earlycareer he favored the "intermarriageof the races.". To the last speaker,Mr. Groner, was left the part to play,which the Republicans consider theirhighest trump-card and he did it withall the- arts of a demagogue. The suc¬

cess of the Republican party in thiscampaign, he said, meant free schoolbooks for aU the children,but no man,not even Republican tax-payers pres¬ent could be deceived by him. Freeschool books, everybody knows,means more taxes which will have tobe paid by the white people or theclosing of the schools,as it would takeabout half of the present school fundte pay for the books. In fact there isno necessity for free school books, as

Mr. Groner and well informed Repub¬licans know, as there is a law, whichprovides that books shall be furnishedfree to all who are not able to pay forthem.

President Roosevelt reached Rich¬mond Wednesday on a tour of theSouth and found the gates of the citywide open to receive him, with a wel¬come too hearty and sincere on the

part of all its officials and citizens notto be appreciated by him. The Pres¬ident showed that he was pleasedwith the greeting he received in theseveral speeches made by him in the

Capitol square, at the banquet at theMasonic temple and at the Lee Monu¬ment, where he spoke to a large num¬

ber of Confederate veterans All ofhis speeches, in fact, were full of

praise for the South and its people.He paid a high tribute to the valor ofthe Confederate soldiers during theCivil War and the progress the Southhad made in every branch of industryin the 40 years of peace. "Only a

heroic people," he said, "could havebattled successfully against the con¬

ditions with which the people of theSouth found themselves face to face

after the war." The historic great¬ness of Virginia too was commentedupon by him and given the first placenot only in the South but among allthe States. "On the honor roll of

those American worthies whose great¬ness is not only for the age but for alltime.not only for the nation but forall the world.on this honor roll," he

said, "Virginia's name stands above

all others." No utterance, however,made by him was received with more

satisfaction than, "that the standardsof higher races are not for those of

less advancement," which was con¬

strued as an expression of his beliefthat there should be no such thing as

that of equality of the races. The

hearty welcome which he received in

Virginia will, doubtless, be accordedhim in the whole South. As the chief

magistrate of the nation he is entitledto be thus honored and it is hopedthat his whole tour maybe an un-(qualified success.

In Memoriam.

In loving remembrance of SudieHyslope, the daughter of Orban Vf.and Hester A. Downing who diedWednesday, October 4, 1905, aged 17years.The Lord hath given her rest,From her sorrow and suffering,The Saviour hath wiped away her

tears,And bidden her come home.Good-bye then dear sister,A sad good-bye.'Tis hard to see the cold grave closed,Over the form of her we love,

But 'tis through death's cold embrace,We enter world above.

Sister Annie.

Another faithful one has left ourband,

To join her loved ones on the hap¬py shore,

Wp know her exit is a blissful change,Add yet we grieve that here we'll

see her face no more.

An exemplary life for young and oldshe led,

As one and all who knew her willagree,

So gentle loving and so kind,Filled with these graces, faith, hope

and charity.And when in youth beside that cot

she sat,And soothed with gentle touch the

child who lingered there,No murmur orimpatient word escaped

her lips,Content to watch and all histroubles

share.True missionary zeal she amply bore,Nor ever felt too much her means

she gave,Happy the thought if in this way,In distant lands some darkened soul

to save.

I think already in that heavenly land,Where falls no shadows,where there

will be no night,Many from China and Japan haveclasped her with a loving hand,And said you helped me to the light.

Loved ones you will sadly miss her inyour home,

Where many years she gave hercounsel and her love,

But best of all the battle is fought thevictory won,

And now she reigns with him above.

Now friends by this let us fresh cour¬

age take,And follow Him, our faithful friend

and guide,Cheered onward by the inspiring

thought,We are on the winning side.

Bv a member of the missionary So'cy."M. S. B.
