A BATTLEFIELD ROMANCE

though many Americans are cheering
over our successes in the Philippines,
some hearts are breaking. The nags
are waving and the bugles blowing, but
here and there you will find a saddened
home and a weeping woman who says
that war is cruel.
Such a one is Miss Anna Taylor, a
pretty Nebraska girl. There are other
Nebraska girls who weep, as well as
some in Kansas and Iowa and Wash
ington and California, but about the
sorrow of none of them is intwined
such a pathetic romance as about hers.

I saw a French sleeve the other day,
and the effect was charming. The low
bodice was of pale salmon satin; at the
corner of each shoulder, back and front,
there was a rather full rosette of black
velvet; the shoulder-band and sleeve were
made of three bands of black velvet, one
passing from rosette to rosette above the
shoulder-one across, and the other under
it. A wide piece of black velvet also went
round the neck Of the wearer Of this
dress.

In discussing the question Of good roads
the other day We said that It ought to be
somebody business 10 examine from time
to time the accounts of the Board Of SUI
pervisors in the several counties to see
that the money appropriated for this pur-
pose. and for all purposes, Is properly ox-
pended. and expended to the best advan-
tage We suggested that the accounts
from time to time should be published,
and the same suggestion, We are gratihed
10 see IS made by others Of our con-
temporaries. We take the following from
the South Boston News:
The Hampton Monitor advocates the
publication of every item received and
expended by the County Treasurer every
year" This" says our able contempt
rary. would enable the people to know
just how the money goes: who gets it
and how much is left. etc
That looks like business. Surely the
people-the X-payers-should know eN-
actly where every dollar goes. and what
for: and this is why the News has so
steadily and persistenuy insisted upon
an itemized annual statement Of the Board
Of Supervisors of Halifax county. The
laws requires such a report. as will be
seen by referring to Sec. Si7. Chap. xXxvi,
OF the Code 1SSO; and by subsequent acts
OF the Assembly 1912. the above section
was amended so as TO provide, THAT each
member Of the Board Of Supervisors who
fails 10 comply with the provisions Of
this act . shall. upon conviction, be
fined not less than SO nor more than

The State Of Virginia is in sad need Of

feels that he can go on indefinitely with
out being required to make an exhibit
without ever having an inspector look
through his accounts, is a wonderful
man. indeed if ne do not at least become
careless. We say. therefore, that It is
duty which the state owes TO its officials,
as we'll as to its citizens, to have a reck-
onng every now and then with her pub
lie servants. 10 Jet them understand that

ana v,c,ous negro vote must be retired?
The whole truth IS. that the Republicans
are getting very sick and tired OF negro
franchise. The Republican party Is re-
snonsihle for this outrage that was inflict-
cd upon the South. but there is some lit
flo comfort I'm the fact that while the
south has suffered from IL. the Republican
Marty has suffered also When the Repub-
ucan party created the negro vote II
created a sort of Frankcnstein which has
haunted and troubled IT from that day TO
this. which has given IL no sort of benefit
or comfort. but has been annoying and
expensive from whatever standpoint view
cd. II was the intention Of the Republi-
cans to employ the negro vote in the
south to establish the Republican party
81 Southern States. but so far from ac-
oomplishing that result the South was
made solidly Democratic and remained so
until 1896.
The Republicans have long since opened
their eyes 20 this fact. and they would
gladly rid themselves Of the incubus Of
ncero suffrage Committeeman Payne
has. in his proposal, confessed as much
ana the negro politicians are deeply
wounded. The only thing left to them IS
the right TO participate in Republican con-

IT appears now that the traffic compact

goes no farther than an agreement not

will be fixed rates which all the roads

SATURDAY. DECEMBER ., 1899.


The article which we printed on Thurs
day last from Mr. W y. Richards, Of
Warren county. on the inequality of tax
alton I'm Virginia. deserves the serious
consideration Of the Legislature. We have
time and again pointed out through these
columns the great need for equalization
~ taxes in Virginia. Mr.. Richards shows
that .n The county n Henrico the average
assessment per acre Of land IS S23.16. while
On The county Of Norfolk 70 is 1884, and
So on down by a descending scale until
We reach The county of Dickinson where
the sverare IS S2c. per acre.
The table which he printed must have
leen startling to those who had not inves-
usatcd for themselves. il is perfectly
dear. even u the casual observer, that
some OF the richest counties in the State
ARE paying less taxes than some Of the
rooset counties and that there is no sort
of uniformity. Ilc rate of forty cents on
he hundred means forty cents in those
. counties where there is a fair assessment,
but thirty cents. twenty cents, ten cents
and we suspect rs low as five cents ON the
hundred comparatively. i'm other counties
where the assessment is merely nominal.
Yet the constitution of Virginia requires
that taxation shall bc equal and uniform.
Mr. Richards says that it is perfectly
well known That property is never assess
eel for purposes of taxation al its actual
value. In this be is mistaken. Property in
