MIR. LANDRAM IAlshS'
Te quote. Mr.. Landram, who conversed
freely with Dispatch man last night
about his wedding: can attachment
sprang up between us, and as / was
lonely without my wife, whom 1 loved
dearly. determined to make Elizabeth
my bride. L own considerable property
I'D near Gordonsville, where i came
from. and my children, who. L suppose,
had an eye to the land, protested against
my taking another wife. L had no idea
of marrying so soon, because l didn't
care TO show any disrespect to my dead
wife but when my children raised their
opposition / decided 10 act promptly,
and. as a result, L sent for my present
wifes mother and sister, and they, to-
gether with my adopted daughter, ac-
companied us 10 the residence of DR..
Hall. where the marriage ceremony was
performed
LAWS ON CONSANGUINITY.
Up 10 this point in his story Mr..
Landram had said nothing of the con-
sanguinity that existed between his wife
and himself, but when the reporter
made inquiry concerning the matter. he
answered frankly and promptly: "She is
my brothers daughters child. Though,
as you see, she is my grandniece, the
law does not class her as a niece, for
she is one degree removed, and hence
there was no legal impediment 10 our
marriage"
''You looked into the laws son the SUBJ
iect then, before you were married."
interjected the reporter.
"Oh. yes. indeed. 1 satisfied myself
Of the legality of the union before I
made arrangements for the marriage"
During this interview Mrs. Landram
occupied a seat in the store, but did not
enter into the conversation.

(Communicated.)

King George Courthouse, June II. 1897.
Your correspondent can. recall but one
Governor OF Virginia who has been
chosen from the Northern Neck. He
was Governor William Smith, Il native
OF King George, who, i'm his early life,
resided only a few miles below the Court
house 4 few of the Oldest inhabitants
Of the county may recall him, for even
i'm his latter days he was accustomed TO
visit the scenes of his youth, and his old
county will ever feel justly proud of his
memory. Your correspondent can recall
the name of not even one from this Sec
ton who has occupied the position of
Lieutenant-G Governor. He, therefore, ven
lures TO present the name Of one,
who. by reason Of his ability, his position
i'm the community. his standing at the
bar and the excellent manner in which
he has discharged the duties of legisla
tor for several years. would be an ideal
candidate. The gentleman is the Hon.
John Il. Mason, of King George. He Is
in the front rank among the lawyers
In his circuit. Il hard student, a success
ful practitioner, and an excellent popular
speaker. He has represented King
George county i'm the House of Delegates
and now represents the Thirty-Sixth
Senatorial District. His constituents
know how well he represented them and
how faithfully he has attended TO their
interests and the public welfare during
his legislative service. He has thus be-
come well qualified for the duties OF
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and can preside
over the Senate with dignity. skill. and
intelligence. Mr. Mason is the son of
Mr. Charles Mason. for many years one
of the leaders of the Democratic party
in King George county before the war.
His mother is daughter OF Colonel Ran
dolph, and a granddaughter OF Presl-
dent Jefferson. III heredity has any
influence upon the character and tastes
and natural qualifications Of men, Mr..
Mason ought TO be endowed with the
very aptitudes and qualities demanded
by official position and the public SER
vice. His duties in both branches OF the
Legislature have brought him into con-
tact with men from all parts OF the
State. whose respect he has gained by
his successful discharge OF duty, and
whose friendship he secured by his per-
sonal qualities. 1t would, therefore,
seem that the mere announcement of his
name by his friends in connection with
the position of Lieutenant-Governor
would secure for him an earnest and
cordial support by representative Demo-
Gratis in all parts of the State. u.

SONS OF VETERANS DISAGREEMENT

A new phase in the unpeasantness ex-
listing between the rival factions of Lee
Camp Sons of Veterans. was developed
Yesterday, when the two young ladies
elected TO honorary membership by the
camp on Oakwood Memorlal-Iay, wearied
and disgusted with all the Objectionable
Iotoriety that the wrangle over the
badges with which 1t was proposed 10
present them has forced upon them, sig
nified their intention OF resigning the
honor that the camp had conferred upon
them, In the interest of harmony. how
ever. they were induced to defer any
action for the present. as at this juncture
their designations would IL is believed,
bring about an open rupture between the
two factions. which have lately sprung
up i'm the camp.
Each OF these factions since they came
into existence, has persistently opposed
the other on all matters OF camp policy.
The one side proposed TO issue the badges
10 honorary members. and although they
were in the majority. they Were defeated
for want of two-thirds majority. Since
that time the majority has defeated every
nroposition advanced by the minority.
