For the first time in many years there

THE EXTRA BALLOT-BOX.
The Constitution Of Virginia requires
that at the general election in 1888 the
yoters shall decide whether a constitu-
tional convention shall be called or not.
OF course the people will not vote 10
have one, but there has arisen peculiar
feature in connection with this extra bal
| lot-box calculated to bring about amuse-
ment and instruction.
The question has been raised not only
in the counties but In the city, who shall
pay for the extra ballot-box. A search
into the Code and statutes Of Virginia
solves the question.
The Acts Of lsS7-sS, chapter 2l5, sec
tion 2, provides that separate ballot
boxes to be used shall be provided "as
ballot boxes for other elections are pro-
yided."
10 referring TO the law as set down in
the Code as TO who shall provide these
brll0t boxes as other elections are pro
yided, the following is found:
Section 1913, chapter 10, Code OF 1887.
"The Board of Supervisors OF each
county and the Council OF each city
shall at the expense of their respective
counties or corporations procure ballot
box for each place Of voting in any cleo
ton district destitute of the same" and
then goes on TO describe The box, ballot
hole, lock and key, etc.
