The following telegram was cap
tured here as it went through by
underground wire to a war journal
in Texas:
ut is said about the lobbies of the
house that in a few days Presiden:
Mckinley will issue a proclamation,
in which he will request the enlist
ment of two hundred thousand able
bodied colored men for active SER
vice in Cuba against Spain.
The operator, who is strictly re-
liable. states that transportation
and rations will be given to every
company enlisting within the next
thirty days, besides $50 bounty, and
at the end of the service, which
may not exceed ninety days, every
man who will have survived the ma
laria or a Spanish bullet will be pre-
sented with the traditional forty

NOT A BAD LAW AFTER ALL.

The Times was alone when # lifted its
voice some time ago in behalf Of the So
called "land grabbers' act" There was
great complaint against the act and 1t
was denounced far ana wide as an instru-
me1t OF oppression. 1t was a frst-rate
law TO abuse because IT seemed TO be
very unpopular. but those who have taken
the trouble e. examine the law and its
operation have come to the conclusion
that it IS a good law. ana not only has
tho article in The Times been copied.
but several Of the Virginia papers have
come to the support Of The Times in up
holding the law.
Tho Rockbridge County News for ex-
ample says that the sales of delinquent
lands in the past have amounted TO a
farce. as the would-be purchaser had to
give up the property IT, within two years,
the owner should tender him the pur-
chase money with per cent interest.
In short, the old law permitted a deln-
quent 10 take his own time 10 pay and
the State must await his convenience.
But the present law changes all this, adds
our contemporary. II makes it to the
interest OF outsiders TO become appn-
cants for the purchase OF delinquent
lands by the imposition of a fee of five
dollars In the opinion Of the News this
fee is not unreasonable. and 1t Is fur
Their Of the opinion that It should be paid
by the delinquent and not by the State.
The Meckienburg star says that ''tor
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1898-12-20

real justice the law Is the best or the
kind ever passed" II Is Just because II
makes each and every property hold
or pay his just proportion OF
public taxation. The Star says
that Mccklenburg this year has the
smallest delinquent list ever known. and
that tho list in Brunswick IS equally
small whereas ia former times the Meek
lonburg News barely had enough type
10 print the long roll Of dclinqucnts.
Necessarily the law has borne hard
upon some. notably in tho case OF inno-
cent purchasers who dill not know OF
back taxes which fell due before they
purchased. But the law was aimed NJ
tax dodgers. and it hit EN- in the right
place. It has succeeded where other laws
have failed, and it is good. kepeai l''
What for? To make another crop oil ue-
linquents? Tho law should not be re-
pcalcd.
