the Constable i'll our law is the
of the election" On the
Walton law he speaks us follows:
''ln this section | know the Con
stables were selected with great care,
and that every legal vote was counted
as cast. If the Republicans SO
marked their ballots that under the
law they could not be counted. it
was owing to the fact that they were
told not TO consult tho ConstsbIes,
but to follow certain Instructions,
which they forgot. In the contest
between Fucker and Yost, at my
precinct the negroes were told to
scratch out every name but the short
one, lost; aud, on going to vote,
some Of them asked the judges for
the short ticket. and, finding the
tickets of uniform length, got con-
fused ard did not know how to
mark them"
Gen. Lee is of the opinion that a
solution OF the questions now before
the people OF Virginia might be
found as follows:
LET each congressional District
select, by vote of it's county aud
city democratic chairman therein,
or otherwise, a Democratic repre-
sentatives to meet similar represeu
intives aud consider the whole ques
ton, and prepare proposed amend
ments TO the present or former laws
or frame Few law, which Demo
cratic Legislative candidates can
stand pledged to vote for if elected.
"The present diversity OF opinion
on the suffrage question impairs
Democratic prospects. In time of
peace We must prepare for war, if
we hope to win victory"
There is great deal of weight in
what Gen. Lee says, and The VIR.
G1NIAN agrees with the Riohm ond
Dispatch that the suggestion, com
ing from the source 1t does, meri is
careful consideration. After We
have gathered new experience OF the
Walton law from the spring cleo
tons, perhaps, remarks tho Dis
patch, it might be we'll for our
State Democratic Committee to take
up the subject.

talk UP YOUlk TOWN.

The very best advertisement q
town or city can receive, very sensi :
bly, asserts the Jacksonville Times
Union, is the enthusiastic praise of
those who form its population. Al
ways be ready to say good word
for it, and instead OF heraldlng any
drawbacks or defects which NAV
exist, go to work to devise and apply
remedy SO that they will 20 longer
be there to be talked about. Every
good citizen will grasp all opportu.
mites to advertise the advantages
and attractions Of tho community in
which he lives, fully realizing TINT
the common interest is necessarily
his own.
But how many th ere are, remarks
our Jacksonville contemporary, who,
on account of spite, malice and dis
appointment, will pursue exactly
the opposite course, and find all to
condemn and nothing to praise. If
there be any public improvement
projected they will give to it as black
an eye ns lies in their power, and if
the enterprise is perfected. despite
their opposition, they have O con-
slant theme for prejudiced and un.
fair criticism.
THE NiRGINrAN is thoroughly in
accord with the opinion OF the
Times Union. Much injury re
suits from just such fault-fnding
citizens. They should receive tho
cold shoulder. or take position IN
iine with those who feel Ii duty,
conviction and pleasure to talk
we'll of their city.

WOMEN Az JOURNALISTS.

There can be no question that
women are apt journalists. Espe-
cially have they qualifications for
gathering news that will put to
blush many of the male gender who
consider themselves endowed by
nature with nose suited for such
business. There have recently been
some very brilliant exhibitions of
this IN the issue of special papers,
every department of which was the
makeup of women. Allusion is
made to San Francisco journal.
several of the Chicago papers, the
Memphis Appeal, the Chattanooga
Times, and especially the notable
valentine issue of the Atlanta j our.
nal, which was gotten out by the
Women's Department of the Cotton
States Exposition Company. with
the president of the department.
Mr.. Joseph Thompson, as editor.in,
chief.
When the immense labor, the ex.
acting duties, the mass of detail
work, the handling of teleeraphic
dispatches-the various depart.

are taken into conslderation-it ia
simply remarkable that women. un.
aided and inexperienced In journal.

successfully the task, and it would
have been On impossibilitv, but for
the fact that they are naturally

From ToIu.

Ed. Register-Tolu friends congrat-
ulate themselves on being represented
on the pages of your valuable paper.
AS we have no regular correspondent
it may appear that our part of the dis
trict is on the standsti1l; but your
writer is proud to say that they are all
at home, hard at work.
The most pleasing knowledge to all
people of this section is that they are
blessed with abundance of rain at pres
ent, so they are in hopes of making
good crops of later growth, though
those of early spring are almost com
| plete failure.
| The basket dinner at Sugar Grove,
| Washington county, last Sabbath. was
very amusing to the many who were
present. which numbered about Fl ve
hundred. There was plenty of dinner
| on the ground. The ordinance of bap-
tism was attended to first, preceding
the afternoon services.
The writer is sorry to say that the
young man Of this vicinage who was
employed to teach the school of this
district was sighted in his attempt to
obtain a certificate. Yet, ..he thanks
the authority of granting certificates,
and says be can live moral highly
| elevated and more pleasant life than

his unsuccessful attempt may change
his occupation during life; but by his
Industrious and energetic work we are
sure that he will do his most to make

that he will exercise his best energies
