Of the physical forces incident to his ad-

active life he had peacefully passed tho
ebbing days of his old age i'm the elegant
but quiet home of his son, Allen W. Thur

Four Score Years Of Activity.
Allen G. Thurman's four score years Of
life covered almost the entire progress Of
the nation from childhood to complete
maturity. In his Virginia boyhood the
Alleghanies were the western limits Of
anything that could be called an advanced
civilization, but Columbus, o., the homo
of his latter years, is far east Of the CEN
ter Of population.
When he omigratod TO Ohio, it was on
the border of the far west. When no en-
tered the United States senate he was ac-
counted rather as a representative OF tho
cast. His first political lessons were from
tho living Jefferson and Madison. He
witnessed the phenomenal growth OF
Jackson; outlivod the II presidents who
succeeded him and took the leading part
in roconstructing tho old party and i'm
pressing its doctrines upon the third gem
Grafton.
Allen G. Thurman was born in Lynch
burg, Va, Nov g. 1913 His father, Rev.
p. Thurman and his mother, only daugh-
ter Of Colonel Nathaniel Allen, fnther Of
the late Governor Allen, removed to Chill

journal of the senate. of Virginia, under
the date of Friday, February Q, 1894, we
find the following:
mo. 1876. senate bill to amend and
re-enact title ID, chapter 25, sections
5si. $50, $50, 5s4, 5s5. $50 and 5s7 of the
Code of Virginia of 1887, entitled, to
provide for submitting the question Of
liquor license to the qualified voters of
counties, corporations and magisterial
districts, was taken up, read the third
time and passed-ayes IT; noes TO-
ION motion of Mr.. Walton the vote
was recorded as follows:
Ayes: Messrs. Arthur, Thomas III.
Barnes, Berry, Echols. Fairfax, Flood,
Green, Hay, Herbert, Jones, Little,
Lovenstein, Miller, Mushback, Parrish,
Washington and Watts-J7."
This bill will take It's place in history
IS one of the most dangerous measures
ever advocated in the Virginia legisls-
ture. The object OF the bill was to
take from the people OF all the cities of
Virginia the right to vote on the oues-
tion OF local option. 1t was one of the
boldest attempts ever made in the name
OF Democracy to put the yoke of tyranny
on the people of the cities of this State
Fair-minded men engaged in the liquor
business denounce this bill as most

but was fortunately killed in the lower

over. 1t was most unjust and un-
wise measure, and 1t was openly
claimed that one of its main objscss
was to defeat tho decision OF the
people Of this Slty and Stsunton in
refusing to license the sale o. insoxi
eating liquors.
1t was plainly at variance with all
Democratic presidents and with every
principle OF home rule, which has ever
been q sacred tenet of that party. For
tunately, after it had passed the State
senate 1t was killed in the house of del
egates, where its revolutionary tenden :
cies and oppressive features wero fully
realized. The senator from this distric +
advocated this bill and voted for 1t on
It's passage. The advocacy OF such bill
means that he who advocates 1t con :
siders himself better Judge OF the
wants and needs of city than the
thousands of voters who conduct It's
business affairs.

people OF Roanoke will remember the
excitement which the attempt to secure
the passage of this most obnoxious
measure caused hero and in other por-

The British ministry, when a Presi-

toned to take much of the diplomatic
talk on this side of the water as bun
combe and Lord Salisbury was at first
disposed to so regard Mr.. olney's note
in regard to Venezuela; but it ia be-

administration is thoroughly in earnest
