WHITE.
Late President of the Virginia
Press Association.

The Virginia Press Association desires
to place this tribute and testimony to the
memory of William Seymour White, who
departed this life in Fredericksburg, Vir-
ginia, on November 26th, 1897, in the 44th
year of his age. Seymour White, as he
was Familiarity and affectionately known,
was gifted man in its broadest and best
sense. When the war had done lite wors
OF devastation and bad finished its course,
he was mere boy, "the only son of his
mother and she was widow" He com.
menced life under very inauspicious cir.
cumstances and conditions, which had any
thing else in them but inspiration for
successful endeavor. Added to these,
serious affection befell him in his youth.

allie will he devoted bis early life, sadden
ed by sickness, to dhigent ana uh,'rhl
study. From this ordeal be emery wei
equipped for intellectual work win specia
adsptabiliiy for the labors OF JOURNALIST
which calling he entered hrst win tn'
Free Lance aud afterward IN the editor'a
management of The Fredericksburg Star
where he was doing faithful aud eficien
duty when death claimed him.
His editorials we're marked by well con
strus,ed sentences IN pure, incisive
vigorous anglo-saxon, ornamentea anc
illustrated Ivy apt quotations, strong ~
presentation, convincing IN logic, powerful
! in inyictive, and at times touching IN
tenderness and pathos.
Whrn the "insatiAte archer" hurried
him away, he was rapidly forging himself
to the front as one Of Virglnia's prominent
men in journalism. He was an able and
successful lawyer and at the time OF his
death was president Of the National
Battlefield Park Commission, a project to
which he gave much of his time aud talents
and which promises eventually 10 he of
great benefit to Fredericksburg and
vicinity.
He 40 impressed himself on bis brethren
of the Press that when he died he bore oar
highest honor, being president OF the
Association.
We miss him in our councils, miss a
genial, frank, honest gentleman, miss a
brother of the craft Of whom we were justly
proud and whose memory We shall ever
keep fresh and green. The lesson OF such
q life as this should not he forgotten, but
rather kept ever in remembrance "for

or adverse the circumstances which may
confront one labor, study. patience, united

He stood when be was called away on
the very threshold Of life that seemed

While we bow to the will of Him who
smites through love and causes suffering
that the Eternal city may be reached, we

testimonial to he recorded to his memory.
We deplore the death aud mourn the
loss OF friend and brother editor. We
send our words Of sorrow and sympathy to
his wife and family in their bereavement.
We bid the people OF Fredericksburg,
where he Was born and of which city he
was mayor when he died, to perpetuate
the memory Of one of its foremost men.
While we stand with uncovered heads |
in the presence of the memory Of such
man and editor as Seymour White, we
cannot understand why, when life with |
him Was at it's best, he should be untimely |
called ito pass over to the other side"
but He knOweth what is best. To US he
will ever live and even it Is so, for
There is no death, what seems SO is tran

HOUSE PASSES THE SCHOOL BILL
ANOTHER EFFORT BEING MADE
TO KILL THE ADAMS TAX LAW.

Dover, April 2O.-The House yester-
day passed the new school bill and
sent it to the Senate. An effort was
made to have the bin amended so that
the present contract for books should
have expired. The contract holds for
four years.
In the Senate the bill was passed to
allow the Levy Courts of the counties
to tax each male citizen not less than
20 cents and not more than $1.25.
An effort is to be made, il is under
stood, to kill the bill amending the
Adams tax law. 1t recently passed the
Senate and was sent to the House for
concurrence, but has encountered nu-
merOus obstacles, and it is believed
some of the senators are impatient and
prefer to see the bill killed to having
1t mutilated.
AT the morning session of the Sen
ate motion made by Mr.. Meredith re-
questing the return OF the bill to the
Senate, was adopted
The members OF the Senate are reti-
cent, but it is believed that If another
vote thereon is possible, the bill will be
killed.
Representative Donaldson presented
two petitions from citizens of Newark.
asking that permission be given to es-
tablish a company of the National
Guards there. One petition stated that
sixty-three young men were willing to
enter. No action was taken.
