THE NEWS or THE DAY.

The London Daily News says that of all
the guests present at the reception given by
Admiral Erben and bis officers at London, on
board the cruiser Chicago, Saturday. none
were more honored than Miss Lee daughter
of the late Confederate General Il. E. Lee.
When George Downey, a respectable car
penter OF Longdale, was tried in the Rock
bridge County Court last week for an un-
natural assault on his erring laughter. Eliz-
:tbeth, it was proved that his daughter had
gone off to mans house and he had gone
after her and brought her back home, and the
girl was put upto bring this charge against
him. The jury acquitted him without any
debate, and about fifty of his Longdale neigh
bors who were there. seized him in their arms
and carried him to the street in triumph.
The Rockbrdge News publishes from a
subscriber the following recipe for killing
the potato bug: Mix one part Of Paris Green
10 sixteen parts of common wheat flour. Take
an old tomato can, perforate small holes in
the bottom of it and sprinkle slightly the tops
with this mixture. One application will be
sufficient as paste is formed by the flour
which remains for some time. One-fourth of
a pound Of Paris green thus mixed would be
sufficient for an acre.

Justice to the description of the forming of
that line and that charge as given by Mr..
Bnrrnss at the request of Col. Batchelder.
But none of those who heard it can ever for
get it. nor the genial comrade who gave it,
and who contributed so largely to the en-
joyment of all the party during the whole
trip. If he ever needs "any scales" ''or bal
ances'' to measure or weigh his claims let
him call upon those who laughed with him
beside that fence and tree just beyond Will
loughby Run on that June evening of '94, and
he will surely get them.
After that the party joined by some of the
citizens took delightful ride over the battle
fields on the electric car line South and East
of the town. At Devils Den Station pho
tograph of the party was taken in front OF one
of the boulders that rests upon the foot of
Little Round Top.
In passing that stone in the forenoon. one of
the party was the victim of a little trick that
startled him beyond measure and amused
him and the whole party not little when
the mystery was cleared up. AS he approached
its dry gray face across which Il. seam or
crack ran, and was about to put his ha nd up
Oh the rock, suddenly its. whole side was
streaming with clear, col water. AS he was
not conscious of possessing any OF the energy
that belonged to 'the potent rod of Abrams
son. he could only spring back and with
amaZement in look and tone, cry out: Look
here! Look here ! How did that water come
out of that rock?" He had not seen the guide
slyly open plug in water pipe just behind
the rock and let on the water to find its way
out through the crack across its face
Returning to the hotel and discussing a
good supper and taking leave of their kind
host and the accommodating guides, the party
turned hOmeward and after spending the
night at the Hamilton, first class house in
Hagerstown. reached home Friday afternoon.
Thus ended, as it was unanimously voted, a
most delightful trip, unmarried by single
unpleasant incident. With hearty hand
shakings they parted, each wishing to take
another such trip with the same genial COM
radeS and friends.

The Virginia Court of Appeals with a
full bench present, decided last week that
Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood was eligible to
practice law before it. Her counsel was
the Court. The Court some weeks ago by
tie vote failed to give Mrs. Lockwood the
right; the present decision is reached by
the additional presence Of Judge Richard
son. Whatever may be the prejudices Of
men on this subject, there is hardly a
thoughtful one who will not gladly recognize
that another field is open to woman in Viz

may add to her opportunities to gain alive

THE EXPENSIVE GOVERNMENT OF

THE EXPENSIVE GOVERNMENT OF
VIRGINIA..
We hope none of our readers will miss
the two articles in to-day's VINDICAToR
from the Danviile Register on the eXpen-
sive State and county governments Of Vir-
ginia. We take it, without knowing the
fact, that the figures used by the Register
are supplied by Mr.. Eugene Withers, a
member of the last House of Delegates,
and if so they may he accepted as the re-
suit of personal Investigation by him. He
has been investigating the unusual burdens
Virginia is called on to bear in the way of
snperfiuous officers-State and county
who have to be paid out of her tax colec-
lions. 1t is certain that since MI. With
ers' statement last winter in the House on
the same subject. the people are thinking
seriously about some mode of reforming it.
1t seems to us that the only way to reach a
reform, is through State Constitutional
Convention, and only through this, if the
people will drop their usual line Of politi-
clans for while and send men whose inter
est it is to do away with Offices instead Of
adding to them. A constitutional conven
ton is a costly thing, but if the right sort
of one can be elected it will be the most
money saving venture Virginia has made
for a long time.
1t is astartling statement that in twenty
five years Virginia has paid $50 ,000
more for State and county government
than North Carolina; bat on examination
it is not an unreasonable one. There are,
on moderate estimate, 1925 officials i'll
Virginia, every one of whom draws more
OF less money from the taxes of the people.
There are 1872 ,2242 voters in Virginia, SC
that about one voter in every SO is a-Stato
or county official. With that percentage of
the able bodied population drawing on the
peoples taxes, it is not so surprising after
all that we are paying 100000 a year
more than another State with almost equal
population and an equally good govern
ment.
