VIRGIAIA BIBLE SOCIETY.
1871, when the Society was reorganized,
there have been visited los, 1857 families,
aggregating population Of 100000 peo-
pie; distance travelled by agents $4,000
miles; number of destitute persons to
whom bibles were distributed $50. 0OO.-
Since April last there have been visited
IA, Ill families, and Is, 240 volumes dis
tributed, at cost of about $1,000. In
the month Of November last the agent
in Patrick county visited 399 white
families, 1877 of whom he found without
bibles. The Virginia Society supple
ments its labors by working also for the
American Society in the State. The
American Society was organized in
Philadelphia in 1908; the British Socie-
ty in 1904, and the Virginia Society In
1S14-the latter is therefore &C years old.
Up to lifetime of the Centennial QS76)
the American and British Societies
combined had distributed the enormous
number of 100, 100000 bibles, and had
published it in $50 languages and dia-
lects. Since then the distribution has

The Readjusters, under whip and
spur, rushed through the House of Del
egates on Friday, a resolution to change
the constitutional provision requiring
payment ofpoll tax, as prerequisite to
voting. This was done to bring the
colored members back to their allegi-
ance to the party, and secure their sup
port of the Riddleberger bill. They
lost no time in offering this bait to the
colored Republicans, and even violated
parliamentary law to do it.-Lynchburg

INCREASED EXPENDITURES AND d.
REvenues.-It cannot have
the attention of any observer,
says the Lynchbaerg Wrginian, that the
present Legislature seems intent upon
two things, viz A large expenditure OF
money, and diminution of the revenue.
What the result of such policy as this
must be, everybody can see. 1t will, of
course, augment the difference between
receipts and expenditures, and leave
but trifling margin for interest on the
public debt. Such an exhibit as that,
would seem to justify the declaration
that the Readjusters have been making
all along-that the revenue of the State
is not sufficient to pay interest on the
debt, as stipulated in the McCulloch set
Element. No sane person could imagine
it would be if the revenue is to be
FILTERED away upon every conceivable
thing, while the basis of taxation is tC
be narrowed down to the smallest posi-
BILE point.
The real debt-payers Of the State,
have favored retFenchnaat and re-
form-the reduction of the expenses
of the government to the smallest min.
imum consistent with the wants Of
government; to the end that there
might be sufficient surplus of revenue
left after nesting the ordinary expen.
SEES of the government, to pay the
amount Of interest determined in the
McCulloch bill, without any increase II
the rate of taxation. Every officer O.
the State, as organized prior to the Isl
of January last, believed, and so declar
ed, that this result could be attained
under the last settlement made with thu
creditors. But the keadjGsters want tt
show that these calculations were not Il
be relied upon and so they have gone
to work to increase expenses and dimin
ish revenue, hoping to fulfill their OWL
predictions, and justify their ill-;udged
war upon that measure: war that has
already brought financial and politica
chaos to the State, as well as covered us
with disgrace.

AN AGED PENsIoNER.-Mrs. Patsy
Sprouse, who claims to be 1902 years old,
is an applicant, through her attorney
Col. Bennett Taylor for pension, for
services rendered by her husband in the
war of 1912. She is exceedingly hale
and hearty for one of her years, and
walked six miles into town to have her
pension blanks filled Her answers to
the various questions put to her by her
attorney showed that her memory too
was comparatively clear. Several
months ago she was living with her
children in Augusta, but becoming dis
satisfied there she determined to walk
to her sons in this county, distance of
some forty miles. She started on her
tramp and walked about fifteen miles,
when some kind-hearted people made
up purse and sent her on the train to
Ivyssf She now lives with her son in the
Ragged Mountains, from which place
she walked into town.-CharlottesviAe

ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL,-On Sat-
urday night week, the two men who
had been arrested in Amherst county,
on the charge ofstealing horses in Rock
bridge, and had been, a few weeks ago,
confined in the Jail in Lexington, made

a fire under the bars across the window,
hoping to burn them and thus escape,
