What One Sees, Learns and Enjoys by Getting Away from Home. The only drawback to the com plete enjoyment of our recent outing was the unexpected ill- ne.ss of Chas. A. Miner, at whose home in Petersburg our frater nal reunion was to occur. A tel- e^^ram had been sent to Brevard from Washinf?ton notifyin^^ us of this sudden attack of chills and fever, but by some telegraphic hocus pocus when it arrived here it was addressed to Chas. A. Miner instead of bearing his sig nature and oeing addressed to the News editor—and was never delivered. While there isn't any thing very serious in an attack of chills, it is just serious enough to shake all the pleasures out of life and make a man hate himself and all his kinfolks. Some of the most enjoyable features of our entertainment had to be aband oned on this account. Among our anticiimted ])leas ures which did not materialize was a launch ride from Peters burg to City Point at the junc tion of the Appomattox with the James, with perhaps a continua tion of the ride to Norfolk. The launch was kindly placed at our disposal, but both brother I. D. and myself were strangers and without a chaperone we conclud ed that a visit to this old war time landmark would not be en joyable. In lieu of this we ac cepted trolley tickets and visited [he capital of the Southern Con fed racy. RICHMOND. The hand of time has done much to make this one of the h*ading cities of the south. It has l)een modernized in many wjiys—the buildings on many of its streets are strictly up-to date and its business men have the business acumen w’hich secures and holds their customers. As we had a tritle of business with the Richmond Paper Manufactur ing Company it was only natural that we should make their place of business our tirst concern. Having made inquiries of them as to what could be seen in half a day they started us by a visit to one of their paper mills. This was interesting to us but might not be to our readers. The State House grounds are noted the world over as contain ing the best equestrian statue of Washington that was ever made. The base for this statue and the revolutionary incidents it com memorates is a study that re quires more than the hour that we devoted to it. The grounds were partially fenced from visit ors for making repairs, but enough w’ere open to prove that these are no mean competitor of the capitol grounds at Wash ington. Richmond is full of war relics —the Confederate Museum con taining many things of interest to a soldier w^ho fought on either side. Hollywood cemetery w’hich con tains a Qtatue of Jeff Davis be sides monuments to two presi dents of the United States who were buried there, is full of in terest to every visitor. It is well kept, is beautified with ilow’ers and evergreens, and is well worth a visit. We took in the terminal attrac tions of the street car lines near the resorvoir which sup])lies Richmond with water. The Street Car Company have inaug urated every device tt) attract people to its terminus—a lagoon with vapor launches and num berless row boats, picnic grounds as beautiful as sunshine and sliade can make them, merry go- rounds. dance halls, gypsy camps and every known device to tempt people there and incidentally to induce them to part with their cash. The greatest drawback we noted was the absence of the pure si)arkling si)rings of cold water which we have here in abund ance. But we couldn't see all of Richmond in one afternoon. In 18t)i’ we stood picket within 4 miles of Richmond where its tall est s[)ires could be seen ev^ery day. at Mechanicsville. Natur ally we were anxious to tind out what street car line went there or nearest there so w’e asked the conductor of each car we rode on but none of them ever heard of Mectanicsville. Tiiis gave us the idea that the Street Car Company employs its conductors from the country, and later con versations proved our theory correct. Richmond is the tirst city in which we saw tiie electric arc light covered with a mantle. It was a new proposition to us and we tried to get information from the electric light office but it was night and only a book keeper was on duty. In Washington City the arch lights are f>f the same description, so w’e believe that it is a better light in some respects than the open arc. As Brevard is just now agitating the light question we hope that those in terested will investigate and give us the most modern appliances. There are very many attrac tions in Richmond that we did not see but hope to at some future time. The streets are clean, neat and attractive, the busi ness men are hustlers, and it is barely possible that the infusion of yankee blood and yankee mon ey after the war are responsible for much of its improvements. Manchester, just across the James river is as old as Peters burg, and is as old looking as as Alexandria, across the Potom ac from Washington. The James river at Richmond is a series of shoals and little wier dams to conduct the water into races at different altitudes is all that is required in order to have water power. It looks to a cas ual observer as if the water was used a dozen times before it reaches the head of navigation at the lower end of tow’n. Our next letter will tell what W’e SMAv and learned in Wiishing- ton City. WiSHliSlllT. Maybe the Japanese Battleship Mikasa took that way of express ing its dissatisfaction of the peace terms. Mr. Rockafeller succeeded be cause he had ])atience and cour age. Also because he had a “cinch. ” If his friendly spirit for the press continues Mr. Rockafeller may yet invite Miss Tarbell to a game of golf. “Dow^n with graft” would make a ringing Democratic slogan and “Tariff for revenue only” would make a winner. If President Roosevelt can show’ Japan how to make peace with its army it will be still fur ther obliged to him. The Press Humorists will hold a convention in Philadelphia next year. They want to study Penny- packer at close range. Considering the advance in the i>rice of all standard oil pro ducts, Mr. Rockafeller’s genial mood is not surprising. After the yellow fever has been brought “under control ’ a few more times, })erhaps the author ities will be able to control it. Latest reports from Tennessee show that John Wesley Gaines is still pursuing t’le tobacco trust, with the trust a little way ahead. The President w’ill have a hard task weaning the republican party from the trusts and corp- i orations on which it has fattened j for years. Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota announces that he is “an anti-trust Roosevelt republican.*’ That W’as the only thing left. Pet tigrew’ has already" been every thing else. It is hardly possible that there is a shortage of chorus girls. There are chorus girls in plenty. There is only a shortage in girls who can sing. The crop of Presidential candi dates for 11K)8 is already so large, that a great many of them must go to seed before the nominating time comes around. Gov. Pennypacker, of Pennsyl vania says, “reformers in poli tics are a disturbing element.” There are a lot of things in poli tics like Pennypacker that need disturbing. Secretary Bonaparte recently got lost in Boston, and had to be directed to his hotel. If we had to be in Boston it would not make any difference w’hether we were lost or not. Both Jim Hill and Jack Rock afeller insist that the opportuni ties for young men never before were so great as at present. That may be true, but as we un derstand it, there are already about as many life insurance companies in this country as we need. Wall street reports that th«i su])ply of reserve money is low. Had already noticed it. Some ])eople in the United States drank 49,4rj9,000 barrels of beer last year. Their wives suspected it all along. Isn't it about time for some ac tress to lo se her diamonds, get upset in an auto or take a trip in an air sliip? The advertising season is on. Hall Caine is going to write a novel about America’s money kings and it must be admitted that some of them deserve no better fate. Some of the Ohio Republicans would appreciate Secretary Bori- aparte's reform talk a little more if it were not in the midst of ati Ohio campugin, It is discovered that M. Witte and George Washington wore the same size shoes. That settles it. The United States and Russia are natural allies and boot cotii|)an- ions. A Western cowboy rode 2.000 miles to get his bride in Idaho. A man with that much determiu- ation to have his ow’n way is lia ble to ride o.OOO miles to get rid of her. The better element of Pennsyl vania Republicans, have mutinied and formed a new’ jiolitical party to be known as theLiincoln [>arty. So there were some decent re publicans after all. “As much more corn has been raised this year than v/e can eat.’^ asks a Kansas paper, “what shall we do with iVf" Well maybe we have to drink some of it. Ship lier to Louisville and Peoria. It is the o[)en season for game in Iowa. The low’a idea sliould run to cover. Some careless aunter mistaking it for a bird may shoot holes in it, or it may suffer the fate of an innocent by stander.

Mr. Bryan declared that a syn dicate of insurance companies and other large financial concerns brought about his defeat in 1890. Mr. Bryan's declaration was scouted by the re{)ublicans at the time. The New York Life inves tigation has proven that Mr. Bryan spoke the truth. Chamberlain’s This is a liniment remarkable lor its great power over pain.
