LOuiSa County Court.

LOUISA, COURTHOUSE, VA. May -.
-SpeciaL-Judge White, Of Albemarle.
held court yesterday for Judge Sims.
Of this county, 10 hear the objections TO
an application for license TO sell whis-
key at an old stand just outside OF the
corporate limits of Louisa. The license
was granted and an appeal taken to the
Circuit Court.
The drouth which threatened to ruin
the grass and oats crop, has been broken.
A continuous downpour for twelve or
fifteen hours has thoroughly soaked the
ground.
Wheat not injured by chinch bug looks
very well. There is great complaint Of
the ravages Of this insect and many
crops will certainly be ruined. The crop
sown was much smaller than usual.
Considerable interest is being taken in
the election for supervisors IN this coun-
ty.
Very little is heard about the choice Of
candidates for Governor. Hoge Tyler
got the delegates from this county when
Governor OFerrall was nominated, and
will doubtless secure it again.

The meal generally consists OF but few
courses: but, however small the company,

Almost every department Of public life

Why the Beer Tax IS Slil.

There IS much curiosity rs 10 why the
tax on beer was made Sl.4i barrel. IN
stead Of Sl.45 or $50
The rate adopted sounds coed deal
as il the Senate committee was lmltat-
ing the bargain counters IN the depart
ment stores but there is deep and inn
portant significance 10 the figures.
They were adopted for the Ike or con-
venience in mathematical calculations.
one hundred aud forty-four Is the multi
ple OF 2. g. 4. 6, s. and ~. which are the
divisions used bv the brewers in the sale
Of beer. In estimating and computing
the taxes upon fractional parts OF bar
rel Slii Is much more convenient than
81 81 or $40 or Sl.45.
Thus the tax on half a barrel OF beer
will be - cents. the tax on a quarter OF
a barrel. 81 cents. on n third of barrel,
y cents: on an eighth of a barrel. is cents.
Even cents. and no fractions, enter INTO
the calcUlation.-Chica Record.
