The trouble complained of by our cor

There are several possible causes for Che
trouble. The COW NAV have been chased
by dogs or other animals, or she may have
been too rapidly driven from her pasture

To he Editor of Gte Dispatch:
Has a court the right TO summon on

business when he employs number OF

We see nothing in the laws exemp;ing
persons from jury service which takes away
the right of Judge of court to have
summoned as Juror one who Is engaged
n a business of the character referred to.
Section $40 of the Code of 1887, which APP
plies TO those who shall be exempt from
Jury service. after enumeratins many who
shall be exempt. has these words only
which refer TO those who are engaged IN

accessories this season. made SO by some
freak of the hour. Linens ana silks III tne
lies, stray Mic. siei. and apple blossom
tnts. with scalloped edges. embroidered
in white or colors, are the most recent
productions. The designs are OF wreaths'
sprays. or Feps-de-iyS. Women of taste,
however, are not beeuiled into using any
but white linens. These, however, are en-
broidered, sometimes very deliberately:
An idea may be gained of the amount
and character of the workmanship on
some of them when $40 IS mentioned as
the price of one of the more elaborate;
Hand en- broidered handkerchiefs in good
linen may, however, be obtained as low as
Sls dozen. They are made IN Switzer-
land, and the variety of designs and the
fneness with which they are executed
induce women of means TO become col

still largely formative. So much de-
ponds upon.the developments connected
with the Norfolk and Western railroad
that it is too early to come down to de-
tails as to the particular effect upon the
growth of Roanoke. In q general way
it is safe to say that the growth Of Roa-
noke in 1898 will not be less than in
1892 and probably considerably in excess.
AS to tho increase of the Roanoke
Machine Works forecast in THE TIMES
recently, we would ask the doubters tho
following question; II the shops were
none too large to furnish equipment
when tho road extended only from
Norfolk to Bristol, with tho Poca-
hontas branch as It's only considerable
offshoot, with less than 600 miles of
main track, how much larger should
they be to supply additional equipment
for the Shenandoah Valley division,
239 miles; the Lynchburg ond Durham
division, 113 miles; tho Winston Salem,
12l miles; the North Carolina division,
as miles; tho Clinch Valley division,
103 miles; tho Ohio Extension and Scioto
Valley division, 344 miles, total in
crease in mileage of over 500 miles, and
with a coal tonnage which has doubled in
five years?
Secondly, which is better, to buy cars
from Pullman on twenty years time at
6 per cent or to sell 100 year bonds
bearing Dor cent. and build equipment
at Roanoke. There are some things
which do not need a fish-plate certificate
fastened with railroad tie, and sealed
with car.coupler to be evident.

Democratic Senator'S Think Cleveland
Should Name Lamar's Successor.

ON'N successor.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Signs are not
wanting to Indicate difficulty ahead in
the pathway Of the confirmation of the
Jackson nomination to succeed Lamar.
There was special meeting of the Sen
ate Judiciary com mittee this morning.
i he purpose of the call was not related
to the nomination, but when it was pro-
posed that favorable report should be
made upon it there was some show of
opposition from the Democratic side,
and the nomination went over under
rules OF the committee
As far as can be learned the opposi-
tion does not touch Judge Jackson's
character and fitness, or even his Demo
crazy, but is based upon the obiec ton
urged by leading Democrats that it was
not proper for the outgoing President to
I'LL life places Of such Importance
There is no question that Senators on
both sides Of the chamb are deeply
concerned by the probability of the
nomination of Republican circuit
judge to succeed Judge Jackson. the
Democrats being determined in advance
to resist the installation of a Repu Bill
can on the Southern circuit and the
Republicans fearing that they will have
hard struggle to confirm such nomi-
nation at this late stage in the session.
