A VENGANCE.
Vi**ginia has for years been
making a high reputation for
dealing out swift, sure, and
ample punishment to those who
violated her criminal laws. It
has not been regarded as safe
to commit murder in Virginia.
The fact was made conclusive in
the trials, and execution of
Cluverius of Richmond, of the
Mayor of Charlottville, of Beaty,
and in the trial of Floyd Allen
and his son Claud Swanson
Allen. These are all to the
credit of this great common
wealth, but a minister with a
decided yellow^ streak running
through his theology, has been
preaching a sickly sentiment to
the effect that the Allens were
getting it to tough in the neck,
and so a jury trying Sidney
Allen last Friday at Wythville,
Va. brought in a verdict of guilty
and fixed the punishment at
fifteen years in the penitentiary.
Unless Sidney has been much
lied upon he derserves to c:o to
the electric chair as much as any
of the others who took part in
that bloody tragedy at Hillsville,
Virginia.
An effort has been made to
have it appear because some of
the Crarol County officials were
armed that day, (and the Allen
gang did not know it untill they
commenced shooting) that it
furnished full and satisfactory
excuse for the murder of Judge
Massie and several others in the
court house.
What if Dexter Goode was
armed, and when the firing
be.^ran did w hat he could to get
in an effective shot on his
assailants? He knew the char
acters ot‘ the men the court had
to deal with, and in his feeble
way tried to prepare him self
for dealing with them.
The Allens are fanged beast,
of their own will, and volition,
they had gone beyond the pale
of law. The first pistol shot in
Hillsville court house was an
open ?n agrevated, defiance of
the law. The world has no use
for that class of people, and we
have no more sympathy for
them, than we would have for
Quantrels Jayhawkers, for Frank
and Jessie James train robbers,
for Bob, Bill, Emett and Gratz
Dalton, highwaymen, and general
all around bad men. The Rich
mond preacher would have found
it uncomfortable praying ground
for him if he had undertook the
job on the Western plains when
the crowd w'e have mentioned
weie in the saddle.
Virginia has been makins: an
enviable reputation in weeding
out her murders and should have
kept it up despite the mouthing
of a yellow streaked, orthodox,
sensational, sentamentalist.
Winstons noted criminal lawyer
who was employed for the
defense, was in full accord with
the preacher.
01 effort is made to have the
corn out of which meal is ground
pure fresh and sound as is the
com that is fed to the hogs.
If there are decayed grains on
an ear of com it is ground, if
there is [decayed ears in the lot,
it is shelled and goes into the
hopper with the sound grains,
and all ground together, giving
those little black specks in meal
that you invariably see, which
perhaps after all may be the
poisen that starts the pellagra
germ in ones system.
It should be a matter for State
consideration, there should be
inspectors at mills, they would
prove of vast more importance
than the high priced political
eleemosynarys services do for
Ihe examination of the Stand aid
Oil products.
Merchants should make it a
particular point to know they
are furnished pure wholesome
meal, and take none other and
then make it a point to advertise
that fact to their patrons.
As the matter stands to day
you do not know what you are
eating in your corn bread.
Ergot does not prove a whole
some diet, and yet the chemical
qualities of the spores, or the
fungus growth on spoilt corn
is quite close to it. That it
should meet the claims of a
specialist, and produce pellegra
is by no means unreasonable.

pride is a virture that lives alone
in progressive towns. Oh yes
you can blunder along, other
places*have blundered along for
a while, and then have very
near lost their identity, out the
town that succeeds is the town
that appreciates and supports
its home institution. It's a fact
too well known to require
emphasis.
STANDBY HOME INSTITU
TIONS.
Every man who does a business
in a town, or city wants and
should have what supoort that
town, or city can give. Patronize
home industries is the slogan of
progress. Your merchants can
not succeed if you send to other
cities to buy your goods, your
butcher would have to go out if

beef in other towns, it therefore
is to your interest to support

HAMMER THEM TO A STAND
STILL.
Austria has done all she could
to precipitate trouble with the
Servians, has sought every
pretext to stick her mouth in
the Balkan difficulty. It is quite
evident that through her emisa-
ries she is doing what she can to
I prolong the settlement between
Turkey and the Bulkan States.
She wants and opportunity to|
play a hand in Sirvla before their j
is a final adjustment.
We had hoped the matter
could be settled without further
bloodshed, but it seems imposible,
now we trust if Austria does
take a hand that Russia and
England will join and hammer
the Austrians to a stand still. If
through Austrias pertenacity
there does come a general
European war we shall want to
know before it ends that Austria
is pounded to powder, and
learned a lesson that other
powers can profit by. We hope
it will not be a repitition of
Bosnia.

The State and Nation is exer

the raising of large crops on a

question seeming to us more
Vitaly important, that is entirely
overlooked. To explain, corn
meal cooked in its many ways is
used largely as a food, its an
important food, and enters upon
the menue cf many tables. This
being true every effort should
be made to secure the purest,
and most wholesome meal for
table use. Is it done? By no
