The license Question at Wytheville-De-
cisi0n of the Court.

At the election recently on the license
question in Wytheville and that district,
license was defeated by Sc majority in
total vote of S0S, but, by an oversight, the
commissioners of election failed to canvass
the vote and certify the result within the
time prescribed by law-two days after the
election, not counting Sunday. The cleo
ton was on Saturday week, and on Tues
day following the commissioners should
have met and acted, but they failed to do
so.
In view of this omission on the part of
the commissioners of election, on the as
sumption that the election was void, ap-
plcations for license were made to the
court, but were refused. The Wytheville
Enterprise of Saturday says
every much interest has been manifest
ed in the proceedings, both yesterday and
to-day. before his Honor, Judge HolbrOOk,
in reference to the validity of the recent
local option election. The two chief points
relied upon by the parties, who claim that the
election was invalid, are first, that the Com
missioners of elections failed to canvass the
vote and make their report IN the time re-
quired by the law, and secondly, that Com
missioner William E. Thomas was never
legally appointed, and therefore all his acts
were null and void. Quite an able array
of counsel has been employed on each
side. Gen'ls Walker and Terry, Jos. w.
Caldwell, John S. Crockett, Judge W. Fl.
Boiling and W. E. Fulton represent the
applicants for license; and Mr.. D S. Pierce,
Robert Crockett, c. B. Thomas and Lucian
Gleaves are counsel for the temperance
men.
Since writing the above, Judge Holbrook,
in an elaborate opinion, decided both of the
points, mentioned in the foregoing part of
this article, adversely to the parties petit
tioning for license. An appeal has been
taken from his decision, and the case will

State Agricultural Society.
MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITT]

MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
The Executive Committee of the Virgin
ia Agricultural Society was in session in
Richmond last Wednesday night and Tues
day.
There was full attendance Col. Rob
ert Beverly, of Fauquier, the president of
the Society, presided. Gen. J. D limbo
den, the agent Of the United States Blu
reau of Statistics, appeared before the COM
mittee and requested the members to ad-
dress him letter by the 18th of May giving
their views ON the position and value of the
negro as laborer, domestic servant, and
his position in manufacturing, mining and
other pursuits.
The question of holding fair this year
was discussed at great length, and the COM
mittee finally decided to hold the fair three
days, commencing October Goth.
A resolution was adopted authorising the
employment of a vonterinary surgeon to in
spect all animals offered for sale or exhibit
ton to prevent the introduction Of diseased
stock, the pay of the same not to exceed
$40 per day.
Col. William II. Palmer was elected a
member of the committee to fill the vacan-
cy created by the resignation of Mr.. P. H.
Mayo.
The balance of the time was occupied in
revising the premium list. In the horse
premium department one-year-old colts
were added to the departments of thorough
breds, trotting- bred class, and general utili-
ty class.

RAILROAD COMPANIES ORGANIZED.

The articles in the SPECTATOR two weeks
ago, sketching the railroad enterprises IN
der consideration on the South side of Vir-
ginia, some of which were to have mate
rial association with our Valley lines, fur
nished the reader with the points of inter-
est in that connection. The Lynchburg,
Halifax, and North Carolina, from Lynch
burg to Durham city in Orange county, N.
c., selects Major P. ]. Otey, of Lynchburg,
as President the Danville and Northwes-
tern, from Danville to Big Island in Bed
ford, connecting with the Richmond and
Allegheny, appoints Mr.. J. E. schoolfeld,
of Danville, President; and the Roanoke
and Southern, from Roanoke to Asheville,
N. c., and South, Col. D. F. Houston, of
Roanoke, as President Of that line, which
is the one of greatest Importance to our
section of the State. All of them open new
outlets for hay and other Valley produc-
tons, and being competing lines in some
respects with each other, and altogether so
with existing and more indirect lines, give
us more demand and lighter charges for
our products.
Two of these lines will be constructed for
the purpose of prolongation of both our
Valley railroads, and thus give an addition
al interest in this quarter to the local adj
vantages referred to. Tt>cities, towns,
and eommunities intereste able to put
down solid subscriptions which will COM
mand capital sufficient to complete them.
Col. Houston is at the head of the iron de-
velopment at and about Roanoke. The
Grocer furnace and its properties are al
ready large and profitable enterprises. Mr..
Schoolf1eld, of the Danville and North
western, canvassd the matter at Danville
and in Bedford county first, and then visit
ed the North, and on his return reports
good prospects, and accepts the place, de-
termined to put the work through. Equal
ly solid appears to be the Lynchburg scheme
to Durham. Major Otey has accepted the
place after due consideration. The North
Carolinians and Virginians, who have been
in counsel, say there will not be any diff
Guilty in raising one million dollars, which
is deemed sufficient.
Some independent and other auxiliary
lines in Southwest Virginia are progressing,
and all are more or less of interest to this
section Of the Valley.

A You've MAN GETS HIS LEG BROKEN ON
THE r. q. A.-On Tuesday afternoon as

MIR Geo. Marley, who was sitting on a
brake with his feet protruding over the
edge OF the box car, was suddenly struck
by telegraph pole which had been plant
ed too near the track, breaking one of his
legs in two places. He was brought to
town and taken to the Mountain House
and DIR. Hughes summoned to render the
necessary surgical aid. Mr.. Marley is a
young man about % years of age, is
resident OF Balcony Falls, in Rockbridge,
