If our friends in Northampton, are
short of plans, for a courthouse build
ing, they might borrow those Acco-
mac county has Oh haul, and which
we understand they paid a certain
architect in Washington, Z. T., $500
and which the tax payers OF that
county have already been taxed and
paid for. These items can always be
held from the public in the present
manner of publishing expenses where
nothing but the grand totals are
given and nothing itemized.-Cape
Charles Light.
The Light is mistaken, in saying,
that Accomac has several plans for
courthouse buildings on hand. We
have only one and that we MAY have
to use ourselves in very short time.
The records of our clerks Office show
too that it did not cost Us the sum OF
$500 but only $SS as follows: plan S53
cost of advertising SIS, travelling ex-
penses OF architect $50. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that our contem-
porary IS little mixedn as to his
facts, and it is not altogether clear to
us what is meant by the Light. in
saying, that items are held from the
public. An itemized statement of the
receipts and expenditures of the
county of Accomac is published an.
nually and satisfactorily, we believe
to the citizens of the county gener-
ally, if not in way to please ouI
contemporary. Come to our clerks
Office and get more light before an
attempt is made to criticise us again

Entered at the Postofice at Accomac
G. H., Va, as second.class matter.

a new courthouse is to be built at
Eastville. 1t was so ordered at the
last meeting of the Board of Supervi.
sors of that county, and it is to be in
course of erection by the 18th, of
March and is to be completed by the
18th of July. 1t is to be handsome
and commodious structure, one which
will be a credit to the intelligent and
thrifty people of our sister county
and will cost them the small sum only
of $500. 1t is to be built. it is said,
in compliance with popular demand
though not, it seems, with the ap-
prevail of ali of the people of thai
county, as one member in Difference
it is believed. to the wishes of some
his constituents, refused to concur iii
the action of the other members at
the Board. A large majority of the
people of that county, however, APP
prove the action of the Board, and
those. who do not now, must recog-
nize the right of the majority to rule
and will concur with them in their
views later. The question of loca-
ton having been decided at a recent
election and the expense of building
q new courthouse being too imma-
terial to cause delay in its erection,
there can be no reason why the old
and dilapidated building should bs
retained to the inconvenience an6
discomfort of those who have to at
tend court. The Board is right il
deciding to replace the unsightly old
building with new one with modern
improvements.

Afraid to Take 4 Vote on the Peace
Treaty.

The Washington, D. G. Post, OF
Sunday, says: Senator Davis, in
cherg of the peace treaty, yesterday
told delegation from the opposition
that he would uot at present consent
TO vote upon the treaty, nor unit
ne was satisfied that the treaty could
be ratified. He made this statement
in response to representations made
to him by delegation authorized by
the leaders of the opposition to con,
fer with him, declaring in the first
place that he did not accept the state
mont that there were sufficient votes
to prevent ratification. He asked fc1
list OF the names of the opposing
Senators, and was given names Of
thirty>siX Senators who, it was de-
clared, would vote against ratifica-
tiun.
Senator Davis was further told that
the defeat or postponement OF the
treaty could be prevented by agree
ing to an amendment or even to 8
resolution declaring it to be not the
purpose OF the United States to main
tain permanent sovereignty ~ the
Philippines Islands Senator Davis
.;echned TO accede to this proposition
SAY iug that he would prefer to have
the treaty 90 over until another SEES
sion. " hen his attention WAS called
W the fact that an extra session OF
tne entire Congress, as well as of the
Senate, would be necessary in order
to appropriate the 1000 600, made
payable TO Spain, he said this was
not true. as the terms of the treaty
did not require the payment of the
III ney until after the exchange OF
ratification.
When Senator Davis was asked as
10 the truth of the foregoing he de-
clined either to deny or confirm 1t.

THE FUNERAL OF MISS DORA lEHSOU.
Many Residents of Garnet and Bearmoutl,
Pay Their Last Respects.

The funeral Of the late Miss Dora G.
Lehsou took place at Missoula last Sun
day afternoon and was the largest ever
seen in the Garden City, fully thous-
and people being present at the obse-
quies. Many residents of Garnet and
Bearmouth were in attendance to pay
last tribute of respect to one they had
known from childhood and to speak a
Kind word of encouragement to the be-
reaveC. parents and relatives. Prof. O.
j. Craig, president of the Montana Uni
versity, conducted the services-which
were very impressive-both at the fam
lily residence and at the grave He was
assisted by choir from the university.
The floral contributions were profuse
and beautiful, especially those donated
by the university students and class
mates of the deceased, who attended
the funeral in body. Every available
vehicle in the city was pressed into ser
vice and the distance of over mile
from the family home to the cemetery
was not sufficient to p rmit all Of them
to form in line.
phe death of Miss Lehsou is except
jshally sad and to her sorrowing parents
rs extended the sincere sympathy of
large circle of acquaintances.
