J. W. Newton, in letter published in
the Staunton "Spf ctator" of the 10th inst,

The facts of the case are these: The

occasions before the Police Court on the
cnMge of being drunk and dlsorderly, and
using profane and indecent Language on
the streets. He had been each time fined
and admonished by the Mayor. On the
occasion referred to, he was so rio:ous in

The Single and Married Women's Laws
Defended BY Their Author.

ALTON, NELSON COUNTY, VA, !
January 22d, 1886.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In your issue Of Sunday last. appeared
IA Protest from a Judge of the Old
Schoor'-Judge William M. Tired way Of
Pittsylvania cnunty-against the new
laws of Virginia that protect the property
rights of women.
AS the author of these laws, l beg the
privilege OF hasty reply to show his
errors as to their origin, history, and pro-
prie'y. He says: The Virginia statute
is only an imitation Of similar enactments
In the Northern States. An alarming
! commentary on such laws is found in the
practical lOoseness Of the marriage rela-
ton AID she common, everyday resort to
| dlvol ces so frt quepJ in these States" His
arguments. based on false premises, not
| to say glaring prejudice, are followed bv
| bis appeal TO 0nr law. makers to consider
| the ,Gsequences. aud ,idly refuse to
| follow the demoralizing remedies of expo
diency adopted by the reckless legislation
of other States. especially where the fruits
are so manifest and prolific in poisoning
| the fountains of social virtue and happi-
ness" After citing two isolated cases.
! one In Virginia aud one in North Caro-
lima, under similar laws-which latter
| case be characterzes as "a novel and
alarm ,pg precedent, and blot upon the
civilization CT the age"-his concluding
sentences in suggesting 40 amendment TO
| the IN arried- WOman's Act" as proposed
in the Virginia LaW Journal of November,
1885, by the three able. experienced, and
learned revisers of the Code, FOR the
enhancement and Improvement of this new
system. is a. most fitting and ungallant one,
| considering the tone Of his whole article.
He SAYS: 81 would suggest al ii ting
amendment that it be enacted that the
woman, along with other sole and sepa-
rate estate, shall be emitted to the hoots
and breaches of the husband, and mold
them as helIlonms to de- cend to the Oldest
daughter in succession

LIZA WING THE POOR MANS
CHILD WITHOUT A SCHOOL.

We offered some comments, last week
on the preposter0us proposition offered by
Senator Berry in the Senate, a few day.
ago, and which found a supporter in the
Senator from Angus a-to permit children
from outside of city to attend the schools
thereof On the same terms as the resident
children. We have already shown, by TAX
| ing Staunton as an instance, bow unpopu.
lar such a law would be in the cities. Ii
| will be equally unpopular in the counties
| when ttey understand it. Its advantages
will not be extended all ever the counties,
but be confined to narrow boundary ii
land around each city. lie this little strip
the well-to do man who has vehicle will
be able to send his children to the town
for a free education. TIE poor man who
has children will be able to send them no.
where; for he will soon have no school in
Ills neigntorhood for them to go to. The
wel-to do children have ridden off to the
town schools; there are not enough chill
dren left to make the average; no average,
20 teacher; no teacher, no school. That
Is the plain result of Mr.. Belry's bill.
WiIl it be popular in the counties ? The
poor man, whose child bias to 90 without
an education, will answer that question
at the ballot box.
Stanton has school population, by
the last school census, of 1925, and is able
to furnish schools and teachers for only
1,030 of them. though she pays Sc, 900 out OF
her own treasury. Besides This, she gives
ST., 1855 to pay for the education of childIen
i'll the other parts of the State And after
all this, with not far from l 900 of her own
children unprovided with schools, it is
proposed to turn In on her the children of
the inhabitants of a narrow strip of land
who pay none of her taxes. In brief,
poor mans children in the town and out
Of the town are to 60 without schooling
because we'll to do man near town has
a vehicle to ride his children in to town
schools!

Woman as Il Traveller.

Strange as it may seem, it is fact, never
theless, that men are more difficult to man
age than women when they are travelling, and
are in doubt as to which train they want tc
take or when it is liable to leave When you
tell woman that her train is on track No. S
and will depart at S:25 she may ask: well
why don't you show it to mc!' but she will
coolly gather up her half q dozen bandboxes
and various other articles and follow you to
the train, while a man will want to e1l:ow If
you are certain about it, and in 90 cases
out of 100 will he ask half a dozen peo-
pie before he can be persuaded to get
aboard He is inevitably behind time and
arrives fretting and excited, while a woman
is on hand at least an hour before train time,
and her only fear seems to be that the train
will get away from her.-Depot Master il
