DIR. ROWLAND TO DE BURIED IN
BLANDFORD CEMETERY
The Injunction Against the Rich
mond, Petersburg and Carolinn
Tobacco Receipts Heavy.

PETERSBURG, VA, December o.
(Special.)-The remains of DIR. ID. T. Row
land. OF Prince George county, whose sad
death as the result OF accident has been
announced, will be brought to this city
tomorrow morning. and inferred in
Blandford Cemetery. The deceased was
a member of an old and prominent family
in Prince George county, and had built
up a large practice in his profession. lie
was in the habit Of frequently carrying
his gun with him during the hunting
season, in his rides to visit patients,
having opportunities at times TO get a
shot at deer or wild turkey. 1t was
TO this habit that he owed his death, he
receiving his fatal wound by the acct
dental discharge of his gun while seated
in his buggy.
INJUNCTION DISSOLVED.
Hon. William X. Mckinney received a
telegram from Boydton this morning
stating that Judge Coleman, of the Cir
cult Court of Mecklenburg county, had
dissolved the injunction against the Rich
mond, Petersburg and Carolina Railroad
Company, which has been before the
Court for several days. This injunction
was sued out several months ago by
the Richmond, Blackstone and Southern
Railroad Company, Of which DR.. Peter
Arlund is president, and restrained the
Richmond Petersburg and Carolina Rail-
road Company from operating upon a
portion OF the old roadway of the Vir-
ginia and Carolina railroad in Mecklen-
burg, which it was claimed had come into
g.f ALL 90
. The injunction against the Richmond,
Blackstone and Southern Railroad Com
pany, awarded some time ago on petit
ton of the Richmond, Petersburg and
Carolina Company, now pending in Judge
Coleman's court has been continued
until the May term. The way now seems
clear for the latter company 10 prosecute
its work; indeed, work has already COM
menced.
IMPORTANT RUMOR.
It is rumored in tobacco circles here
that Headquarters for the inspection OF
tobacco purchased for the Austrian Gov
eminent may be removed from Richmond
10 Petersburg. The Austrian Consul
at Richmond is the contractor for THIS
tobacco. and the report here is that he
is considering the matter OF having the
tobacco to be purchased under MS con-
tract inspected in Petersburg. 1hls VIII
he a matter of Importance to our city,
and it is said will save in expense.

The corporate seal Of each of the parties

II is claimed that where there is an ac-
tual seal the rule is different. and no
recognition is required. 1t was not re-
quired at common laws and if the com
mon law rule had been followed no such
recognition would have been necessary
In the case of scrolls which were in
common use long before the statute of

was affixed. it was held that though the

There is no reason why such recognition
should be required in one class of seals
that does not equally apply 10 the other;
and as the doctrine is firmly settled that
there must be recognition as TO scrolls IT
is better that the same rule shall apply
to actual seals as well.

Smyrna times., 1897-03-03

THE highest idea of Municipal
government is nOn-partisan.
There must of necessity be par
tisanship in National and State
affairs, but it is we'll in municipal
government for there to exist a
kinship like that of the home.
Except some time back, within
the recollection of the older vo-
ters when the Democrats ran a
straight ticket, Smyrna has had
a nOn-partisan government-viz:
both parties were represented in
the Board, but the Democrats
retained a majority and elected
the police or other officers. Mon
day, the Republicans ran
straight ticket, and elected it.
They assign as Il reason for
this the evaporation resulting
from disfranchisement and cleo
tions in the State and county
that do not elect, the unwilling
ness to accord them equal rights
in exercising the rights of fran
chise or to get hold of an office
when, under the difficulties
heaped in their way. they have
won it. And, as partisanship,
through the Kitchen cabinet"
and otherwise, has largely for
several years controlled matters,
it cannot be worse under a new
regime, and, in any event, is
only changing the boot from one
leg to the other. But we hope
in time our strange political mat
ters will be righted, our leading
citizens see eye to eye on mu-
nicipal matters, and the result
be a nOn-partisan election.
Smyrna times., 1897-03-03
ARC LIGHTS WILL STAY.
So Declared the Town Council by a vote
of 5 to 2. Finishing Business for An.
other Administration.

Friday evening was the last meeting
of the council under the old board and
when President Hoffecker called the
meeting to order, every member was
in his place including the town Treas
urer and our town Superintendent.
Unfinished business being in order
Councilman Moore moved the ques-
tion of arc lights be considered. There
was silence in the whole council cham
Der when this question was put For
weeks past this had been the all alb
sorbing question and it was quite evi-
dent that the matter had been deferred
as long as it could by that Board.
Much surprise was occasioned when
Cummins, upon whose vote the ques-
tion has been wavering for weeks past,
arose to his feet and moved: ''That the
original motion to take off fifteen arc
lights be rescinded, the five of which
already taken off to be replaced. "
Councilman Boyer followed with
prompt second. When it was seen that
Mr.. Cummins was finally in favor of
the arc lights, that settled the matter
with the Council and they knew that
further debate would be unnecessary.
Councilman Moore called for yea
and nay vote and when Councilman
who had been making such
strong fight against the lights, voted
with the affirmative, there was smile
expressed everywhere and he was after
