yIRGINIA's NEW SENATOR.
The investigating Committee Have
ExOnOrated Martin from the CbaI.ae
OF Bribery-A Sketch of the Man
Who Defeated Eitzhuph Lee.

n Investigating Committee Have
E~xonorated Martin from the Charge
OF Bribery-A Sketch IF the Man
Who Defeated Fitzhugh Lee.
The Senatorial investigating COM
mittee in the Virginia Legislature
reported in substance that no unusual
methods We're used to elect members of
the Legislature last fall, and that no
fraudulent on improper means were
used to nominate candidates for United
States senator before the Democratic
caucus. The report which, was signed
by tho whole committee, was unani-
mously adopted. Mr.. Thomas S. Mar
tin, the nominee of the caucus, was
duly elected to serve the long term and
Gen. Eppa HuntOn was elected for the
short term.
Mr.. Thomas 5. Martin, who defeated
the brilliantand phenomenally popular
titZ Lee for the United States SEN
atorship, is n of the plainest and
most unassuming men in Virginia
politics. Agar ago the leaders would
have laughed at the idea of Martins
beating ~Fitzhugh Lee for this i'm
portant position. The fact is, though,
the latter relied for success upon his
Industrious name and great popularity.
Martin, on the other hand, began the
work OF building up az organization to
accomplish his object, with the result
OF presenting the most perfect organi-
zation over known in the South. To
the fact that Martin overthrow the
idol OF Virginians dis due the inves-
tigatiop which was set on foot FRIDAY
Dy b Legislature. Had Lee been
nominated, or had Martin defeated
another opponent, there would not
have been u voice raised against the
methods which tits alleged were re-
sorted to in securing the Albemarle
nomination.
Mr.. Martin was born in Scottsyiile,
in Automatic County, Va. He is q
graduate of tie University of Virginia,
at which institution he studied law
and obtained his degree. Since then
he has pursued the practice of law,
and 10 at present the counsel Tor the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. Mr.
Martin is 40 years old and in personal
appearance Is o fine looking man. He
is about medium height and weighs
probably lou pounds. THO Senator
elect ID @ bachelor and is one of the
most modest OF men. In the presenn
OF ladies he Is said to be nearly as
diffident as u school boy. In his deal

man of affairs, and as a politician there

How Much the Americans Spent last

How Much the Americans Spent last
Year for Whiskey and Tobacco.
Special 10 the Atlanta Constitution.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.. December IT,
Although we are counted a fairly sober
people in the ~hurly-burly OF nations,
the figures of the internal revenue
commission for the last fiscal year on
drink and the number of cigars and
cigarettes we make, and the quantity
of tobacco we chew are simply aiBaz-
ing.
They make the head reel. The
preacher who peruses them will hio to
the pulpit to tell his congregation that
we are u nation of drunkards, stupcfed
with drink half of the year and
drugged with tobacco the other half !;
that each year we recklessly ~sQuander
upon these inventions of Beelzebub
three times as much money as is re-
quired to keep this government in ope-
ration and more than is represented by
the circulating medium of the United
States. And when the preacher docs
this he will be throwing an armful of
facts at his congregation.
We consumed last year, according t o
this report OF Commissioner Miller,
and it tells the story as detailed in
hard cash over the counter of the in
tcrnal revenue Office, g. 1000, 900 gallons
of whiskey, brandy and distilled
spirits, or in other work we drank
6,000,O00 900 glasses of whiskey for
which we paid over the bar the enor-
NOUS sum of 5000. 000, 600. or $50, 600, 0OO
moro than the annual appropriations
of Congress combined. This repre-
sents a consumption of 100 glasses OF
whiskey each year for every man, wo-
man and child between the rock bound
Pacific and the storm tossed Atlantic,
or counting only male adults, SOC
glasses for each.
OF beer the figures are equally as
founding. The consumption was
81 1862, 943 barrels, that is IL, 1856, 169, zoe
glasses, representing an expenditure

habitant. In the neighborhood of 2OC
glasses are charged up in this carcula-
tlon against each of us as our annual
allowance. If we do not average our
daily glasses with u daily bread we
may be sure our neighbors get the
benefit of III abstinence.
In the matter of cigars, cigarettes,
smoking tobacco and chewing tobacco
we are equally prodigal. The blue in.
cense of 1874, POP, 600 cigars and che.
roots, and the curling weraths of 3,I76,.
693 600 cigarettes aid us in our reveries
and soothe us in our work. For this
luxury we pay for cigars and che.
roots, 1858, 100000; for cigarettes,
S22,532,OO0. This is apportioned fol
cigars, 83 to each inhabitant q
4lo for each male adult cigarettes, 81
to each man, woman and child, or 81
to each male adult. All this goes ur
in smoke each year, while people arc

not include the millions of bowls q

the par value OF 800 should be as

should be actuated by the broad prin-
ciple of absolute Justice to all taxpay-

placed upon each and every taxable
interest, class and character of prop
erty in the State.
1T the boards Of assessors do their
work in u h%aphazard way, and boards
OF equalization do not correct these
gross inequalities, we shall insist upon
auditors proceeding in each case, as
Is required by Section 239, etc, Cen
eral Statutes, as construed by the
Legislature in 1902. after the construc.
ton by the courts of This and other
germane sections.
Your especial attention is called to
the fact that millions of dollars in
credits, such as bonds, mortgages,
notes, accounts, cash, etc., etc, now
escape partially or wholly from their
just share OF taxation. Let us have
every dollar OF taxable property in the
State at its true value in money upon
the tax books, and the levy as now
made can DO reduced by something
like One-half.
