CONVENTION QUESTION.
An Opinion From Attorney Gen.
erqI Scott Made Public.

The question having been raised
as to the constitutionality of the law
providing for vote in May for Gull
ing convention to revise the State
constitution, Attorney General Scott
was applied to for construction of
the law and gives his opinion as fol
lows:
Hon. j. L. Lawless, Secretary of the
Commonwealth, City,
Dear Sir-You ask me what duty
is imposed upon you by an act to
take the sense of the people upon the
call "f n convention to revise and
amend the constitution, approved
March 4, 1896, acts 1895 '96, page 797.
"As | construe and understand
this law, your duty is to provide the
the poll books and receive the results
OF this election when duly certified
by the commissioners of election,
and deliver the same to the speaker
of the House of Delegates on the
first day of the next general or spec
ial session of the General Assembly.
The constitution of Virginia, Ar
ticle III, section 2, elective franchise
and qualifications for Office, ordains
that 'ull elections shall be by ballot.
"The statute under consideration
enacts--
''Section L: Be it therefore, enac
ted, that it shall be the duty of the

now TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common water glass
with urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; sediment or settling indicates
diseased condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen il is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder arc out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge 30
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back. kidneys, liver, bladder and
every other part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold uriee and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad eff
fects follow use of liquor, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessi-
ty of being compelled TO get up many
times durjnS the night to urinate. The
mild and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. 1t stands
the highest for its wonderful cures of
the most distressing cases. If you need
a medicine you should have the best.
