They are numerous entirely too numerous, and even witn tne most vigorous work it will require a con siderable time to remove them alL but it would be gratifying to see a start, at least, made in that direc tion. A very good place to make a beginning would be on Green streetj half a dozen steps south of Main, where the drainage from a cesspool runs down over the bank and Into the street; just below this the refuse from a stable on the same lot is thrown out on the street, filling the gutter and effectually preventing the carrying off by providential rains of the offensive matter from above. This spot is within sight and smell of passersby on the principal street; of the ami In full view of busi4 ness houses and residences, the health of whose inmates is constant ly endangered so long as present conditions exist. A little further south on the same street, a sewer-pipe protrudes from an embankment into the street. The pipe Is broken, and the sewerage runs out and across the street.

If these conditions existed In out-of-the-way places, or if they had existed but short time, some allowance might bo mode, but they ore on a thickly populated and much-traveled street. and have been In their present con ditions for months, except that the few warm days we have had recently have somewhat Increased the pun gency of the aroma arising there from. One of our city councllmen, who lives within easy sight of these plague-spots, and those members of the police force who pass them daily on their way to and from duty, can fully corroberate this statement, as It is hardly possible that they could have escaped their notice. We have not yet discovered whose particular duty it is to remedy these evils, but we do know that they are not being remedied with alarming rapidity. And the end is not yet.

The Sick. Miss Lizzie Gay Is dangerously ill at her mother's, near Staunton, and yesterday was hardly expected to through the day. Mrs. M. II.

McCarthy continues in a very precarious couditlou at her sister's, Mrs. D. O'Connor, on Au gusta street. H. L.

M. H. McCarthy, a well known contractor, died at the resi dence of his brother-in-law, Mr. O'Connor, in this place, on the 23rd, aged 48 years. He had been com plaining for several weeks, but It was thought that his sickness was not serious.

His physician, Dr. II. 1J Henkel, had visited him the evening before and did not think his symp toms were alarming, hut about one o'clock Thursday morning he passed away, it is supposed from heart trouble. His wife has been in deli cate health for a long time, and for the past few weeks dangerously ill. His constant vigils at her bedside, until her relative, Mrs.

D. Shanahan, came from Louisville, to be with her, a'month ago, impaired his strength somewhat, but his constitution be Ing apparently so vigorous, It 'was believed he would soon recover from the effects of his loss of sleep anil rest. He was almost a perfect speci men of the physical man, and the active life he ha-s led on public works, and the endurance to which he had been trained, promised to give him strength for any exposure and strain. But a complication of causes undermined his health and he died in the very flower of his manhood. McCarthy was a very courte ous, intelligent and well read gentleman.

Ills warm heart and generous nature, won to him friends wherever he and in his business associations was highly esteemed and ap preciated. He was a brave and daring Confederate soldier and knew not what fear was. His exploits fre quently, attracted the attention of his superior officers and won for him praise and confidence. The funeral services wereconducted at St. Francis church on Saturday morning, Father O'Leary, of Penn sylvania, his brother-lu-law, officiated, assisted by Father Payne.

The remains were conveyed to Thorn rose Cemetery, where Father McVerry read the burial sermon of the Catholic church, and the body was laid to rest in the. presence of a large concourse of smpathizing relatives and friends. Capt. -J. J.

He had an operation perform ed for the relief of the bladder, but it was not known to his family and consequently his death was a sur prise and shock to all. Few men en- oyed In ah equal degree the confi dence and esteem of his neighbors and acquaintances than did the de ceased. His integrity was of the. highest type. His business methods simple, direct and just, and; in all-tlie relations of life, whether as citizen, member of the church, husband, father, brother in every association of existence he measured up to the full stature of a christian man, and his works do follow him.

Imperfect pavements are productive of considerable annoyance, butatthe same time it Is well to keep' in mind the fact that Imperfect sanitation is productive of death.

Hinnrtde JOHN D. RODGERS. TO TIIE VOTERS OF STAUNTON ANJ AUGUSTA COUNTY: Under date of February 1st, 189:1, as Is known, I suppose, to most of you, I announced myself a candidate for clerk of theClrcult court "of this county. Since that time two other gentlemen Air. T.

R. N. Spoek and Mr. Joseph B. Woodward have also anttouni-iil themselves as candidates for the same ollice.

somewhat to the surprise of myself and many others, as It was previously supposed that'neitlier of these gentlemen aspired to the place, as both of them had declined to discharge its duties lis deputy under the thou incumbent, whose failing health rendered him unable to do it Jilmseif. Still, as they are now in the field, their claims to preferment must lie decided by the iMople us aganst mvself. who have been diligently striving to discharge a public trust during a period when speculations in real estate and jthe organization and the conducting of Improvement companies appeared to offer Inducements too seductive for many to resist. 1 am aware of un objection that is urged against me in connection with this candidacy; but am willing for it to lie made tin issue. I refer to the fact that 1 was not born In the county of Augusta.

This is true. But I am a citiien of and a voter in the county, and have been for several years. 1 havecast my lot among this people, and here 1 expect to live antl die. A' native Virginian, reared within less than one hundred miles of old Augusta, connected by blood with some of her ttldest and most honored families, Is was esteemed worthy of being called, to the humble post above referred to, and believe now that my fellow citizens will lind no cause for thrusting me from It. At the primary held for sheriff, April 4th, ISiil, out of a Democratic vote cast in the county at the gubernatorial election of less than eighteen months liefore.

of 8,572 only 2,854 were polled, and in the city out of 798 onlv 5t)! were polled at the primary, show-ing'that Democratic voters in the county and city failed and refused to participate In the primary. Desiring, to hear the Verdict of every Democratic voter In regard to the matter. I am willing only to submit my candidacy at the general election to be held the fourth Thursday in May (May 25th), 181)51. Respectfully, March 2Uth, S. W.

That Messrs.

Our article last week on the cash system has been -pretty freely commented on by the merchants of Staunton, ami the views expressed by us have been generally "endorsed. Tin; great objection urged to the adoption of the system is that if the cash system is adopted, some few of our merchants will object to going into It, and will capture all the credit custom. Suppose they do? It relieves 'you of the necessity of refusing credit after the adoption of the cash system, and at the same time, they not be long in' making the discovery that credit stores cannot compete with their cash neighbors in the matter of prices, and the credit buyers will soon be as anxious to do business on a cash basis as the merchants already are. We are advocating an innovation on old and 'somewhat firmly rooted customs, and. are prepared to meet opposition in some quarters.

If David was on earth today, doing a credit business, his hasty assertion regarding the veracity of man would not have required reconsideration. The "Good Old Times." IV. J.
