AccoMAc Court HOUSE, Va.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER IS, 1897.
Entered at the Postoffice at Accomac
G. H., Va, as second-class matter.

The committee appointed to in
vestigate the charges, that certain
members of the History Committee
of the Grand Camp, Confederate
Veterans of Virginia, were in the EN-
ploy of the American Book Company,
have discharged that duty and their
report in part is as follows: 1t is the
unanimous opinion of the undersign
ed after full and careful 'investiga-
ton of all the evidence taken, that
the conduct, associations and rela-
tions of Grand Commander James n.
Stubs, while member of the his
tory committee, with the agent of
one of the great publishing houses
of the country, as developed by the
evidence, and especially by his own
evidence, have been such as to rem
der it improper and inexpedient that
he should remain member of the
history committee OF the Grand Camp
of Virginia, and that his further con-
pection with said committee would
be incompatible with the intert SIS Of
said Grand Camp, and OF the Con
federate Veterans of Virginia, and OF
the South Therefore the under
signed recommend to the Grand
Camp that Grand Commander James
n. Stubbs be removed from said
committee as soon as practicable,
and that ne be requested to resign
the position OF Grand Commander OF
the Grand Camp OF Confederate Vet
Grams, Department of Virginia.
The committee say further in their
report, that no evidence was adduced
tending directly or indirectly to re-
tlecu on the conduct or character OF
any other member of the History
Committee. The whole investiga.
ton, in fact, seems to have been aim
ed at Grand Commander Stubbs and
the committee in their zeal TO con-
Wet some one of having been in the
employment of the American Book
Company seem, Ito have counted
for nothing" neither the statements
of Col. Stubs, nor his good reputa-
ton, nor his valuable services IN
peace and war for the last 3G years to
the State. The fact, that he at one
time received from J. w. WomacA,
an employee of the American Book
Company, two checks payable to his
order, seems to have satisfied the
committee as to his guilt, but which
they acknowledged however was not
proven, and to make them willing to
pronounce upon him the severe pun
ishment which they did. That Col.
Stubs has his faults, 10 one OF his
best friends will deny, no one OF
course apologies or excuses the man
ner in which he obtained the checks,
but did the committee convened to
try him for bribe-taking, in the ab
sence of sufficient evidence to that
effect, deal justly with him? The Ad-
visory Council of the Grand Camp to
which he has appealed the case will
say, and charity for an old comrade
at least ought to make them deal
more leniently with him than the
committee did.

Delegate Parks is making decid.
edly peculiar crusade in the General
Acknowledgements minimum penal
ties for crime. We have already re-
ferred to two of his bills, to reduce
the penalties for violating the liquor
law and carrying concealed weapons,
the former from 500 to $40 and the
latter from $50 to $3.50. Now he has
introduced a third bill-to reduce
the minimum penalty "for taking
another's boat or vessel' from SlO to
50. The member from Page might
be able to give some reasonable
ground for such reductions but thus
far we have been too obtuse to see it..

THE MUNICIPAL COURT.
Two Mischievous Boys Brought to
Grief.

Two little boys occupied the chief at
tention In the municipal court on Friday.
They were Samuel G. MoAllister and
Charles Smith, aged each about thirteen
years. 1t was charged that on Thursday
evening they had disturbed the evening
school in the jackson School building by
looking in the windows, making noises.
etc. Both boys denied that they had dis
turbedHthe school, although they admit
ted that they had been there in company
with several other boys. But Officer
johnson testified positively that the two
boys were actually engaged in disturbing
the school. Deputy Marshal Sterling said
that the boys had been bothering the
school considerably and that the regular
officers in uniform could not catch them.
So Officer johnson was sent up in citl-
zens' clothes with instructions to be sure
to arrest none but offenders.
The McAllister boy wept freely in the
box; and his mother, who Was present,
said he had been good boy for consid-
cradle time. The boy was forced to adj
init, however, that he had been before
the court two years ago for entering a
house.
The Judge fined each boy IS and one
half costs each. The mothers of the boys
paid the fines.
Joseph Yelkin, charged with assault on
Moier Punskey, and Michael Kusinzre
charged with taking watch from Joseph
Miller, were discharged as the testimony
was too conflicting to warrant conviction.
