Governor Tyler has concluded, it is
sta ted. to call the Legislature in ex-
ira session, January I'd, 1901, and the
report, if correct, justifles the sus-
picion that he is In the hands of bad
advisers. If the Governor, however,
carries out his threat the public may
be heard from later in way that
may not be pleasant to him. The
people in convention in Norfolk, May
26th, pledged themselves, "that the
calling of constitutional convention
shall be attended with the least pos
sible expense to the taxpayers of the
State" and If there is any reason for
ignoring this pledge and burdening
the taxpayers with an additional
SIS, 900 or more we are not so advised
and, we believe, that the Governor
will hardly be able to convince the
people that there is, 80 as to avert
their wrath against him.

The communication Of Mr.. W. T.
Thomas in another column is sufr
cient answer, perbaps,to the bomoas
tic effusion OF our esteemed contem'
porary, the Eastern Shore Herald, IN
its last issue. We will add, however
for the enlightenment OF its editor
that the "spot cash" to which we
suppose, he refers, received by US for
lob work done for the Exchange, has
not netted us as much as the charge
made by the Herald for publishing
its plan of organization. That we
had the right to charge for the job
work the Herald will not deny and
we are willing for the people to judge
whether or not we have been sincere
in seeking to promote the interests
of the Exchange, because we believed
it wo uld promote the welfare OF all
our people. Whether or not our con
temporary believes the Exchange the
good thing that we do, of course, we
are willing for it to decide. The
Exchange may continue to live what
ever it's views concerning it.
Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1900-09-29

The meeting of the stockholders of
the Produce Exchange, at Onley to-
day. ought to be one of serious con-
Germ to the most of the people OF the
Eastern Shore. This assumption, OF
course, is made on the ground that
the Exchange in the brief term OF it,
existence has been productive OF
great good to our people, and THIS
proposition if correct-and ii will NOT
be disputed by many in or outside OF
the organic alton, except those who
would profit by it's failure -nothing
will be done, if wise counsels prevail
which will not tend to perfect the
organization and thereby contribute
still more to the betterlnent OF the
condition of our people. To that end,
the principal thing to be considered
seems to be, the more efficient man
agement of the affairs OF the Ex-
change. The business manager, with
the helps he has had at his command
has more than met the just expecta-
tions of the public, but he must be
better supported in the future than
he has been. How this is to be done
it will be the duty of the Exchange
to decide to day. That wise counsels
will prevail and that it viii. be done
though, we have no reason to douo'
No one, of course, is expected to al
tend the meeting to-day who is mol
interested in the promotion OF the
affairs of the Exchange, and our PEG
ple have been benefited too muct
already by its operations to permii
anyone with sinister motives to MAJ
its deliberations or throw obstacles
an the way of its continued success
There will, of course, be a diversity
OF opinion among the stockholders as
to the means to more efficient man
agement of the Exchange, but We
have too good an opinion of the good
sense of our people not 10 believe,
that they will be able TO detect i'm
practicable schemes which may be
presented and dispose Of them by
promptly voting them down In
lerested as all Of us are, whatever
our business or calling, in the coll
tinued success of the Exchange,
nothing OF course must be done, not
in its interest, and the outcome OF
its proceedings will, we have no
doubt, be satisfactory to everyone
who is at all solicitous for its success
and through it.for the prosperity OF
our people.

devote little space to him.

grees: first he adopted the stock and
now his shirts are gradually losing the

characterized them. They come in all

season the arbitrator of fashion will

A Whim of Fashion.

The fashion of leaving cards instead
of actually paying a visit, says the Lon
don Express, is bringing into vogue
new profession for ladies, who must be
well dressed women, and have their
wits about them, SO that they can be
implicitly trusted by those who employ
them. Some poor ladies, who are real
ladies, are glad to take up this calling,
and by it make a few pounds for their
dress and holiday expenses. They hire
a smart little brougham, or are lent her
brougham by their employer whose
cards they are to leave, and make their
rounds systematically, leaving the re-
quired and correct number of paste
boards at each house. Dishonest card
leavers win play tiresome tricks; for
example, they will call at times that are
quite impossible from the point of
view of the etiquette laid down for the
guidance of such affairs. One smart
woman in society was much enraged
this season by receiving, from an en-
bassy, too, a card as early as ten o'clock
in the morning!
