College Notes.

Owing to the inclement weather and
damp condition of the ground no drill
was given the military company by
Captain Barbour Tuesday. The men,
bers of the company were given in
stead of the routine drill a very in
teresting lecture on the origin and use
of gunpowder and the construction OF
small arms. These lectures will be
given regularly by Captain Barbour
when the weather is such that no out
side practice can be INDUCED in.
No practice was had by the foot ball
team last night, as all their trunks
containing suits and other parapher-
MALTA had been delayed at GAINESVILLE
The boys all admit that they were
beaten fairly and squarely by Oberlin
and that the game was lost to them
through their own awkwardness. Nc
one of the players was hurt in last
Saturdays game and the team should
be in excellent condition when it goes
up against Morgantown Saturday. The
local rooters expect Marietta to play
good ball on this day and win the
game or else will not support the team
on the home grounds.
The guns have been ordered for the
equipment of the new military comp
any and are expected to arrive in
few days.

MERELY A PUZZLE.

Says the Richmond Times, editorially
commenting on the speech of Mr.. J. AL
Ian Watts on taxation, before legisla-
tive committee:
Mr. Watts speaks first of all double
taxation, pointing out that the farm
and the mortgage OF the farm are both
taxed"
But how is this double taxation? Is n
dollar in gold taxable? Is a Treasury
note taxable? Is a bank-note taxable?
Is AS promissory note, in the hands
of b. taxable? If 80, why is not a
mortgage taxable? II a. buy a SIC, 900
farm of b.. in exchange for his note to
that amount, getting full title and pos
session, a. must pay the taxes on the
farm. and b. on the note. for it is per-
sonal property created by A. on his
credit, and which, il y. is solvent, Il.
prefers. as an investment, to money to
the amount named. If A. had paid in
cash for the farm, a. would be taxed
for the farm and j. for the money
Further, If in the case of the note, or
bond, for $4,000 in foreclosure OF the
farm, a. had given mortgage on the
farm in security of the bond, or in place
of it, what difference would that make,
except. perhaps, to add to the value of
the bond? Should the greater value en-
empt it from taxation? We do no,
think so.
This plea OF double taxation in tho
case of mortgages relies entirely on a
confusion of thought, or fact, in which
the mortgage represents the land and
the land represents the mortgage, and
which, If true in the sense urged can
Gel both rs taxable property. and not
merely one OF them; but it Is untrue:
land and mortgage being two separate,
distinct ana different properties. both
valuable and taxable. 1t is merely n
puzzle for the children's department. OF

When vice prevails and wicked mer

Ing out of office; and every true man.
whatever his station, should seek vail

The good citizen has his own opin-

this in National, State. county, city

manner as to leave nobody in any rea-
sonable doubt about it. Nor is it even
necessary to defend 1t, unless it be d.
rectly attacked as an opinion for which
the citizen is responsible. The main
point is this: That the man shall en-

The amazing development of Norfolk.
Portsmouth and the section around
hbout Hampton Roads, as we'll as the
entire State, for the past several years,
has been wonderful.
In our own city and suburbs the
grand march Of prosperity and riches
has been nothing less than phenome-
nal.
Gaping vacancies no longcrexist in the
business section, for magnificent bust
ness blocks rear their imposing heads.
Business has worked it's way from the
congested portions of Main and Church
streets around up CRANKY street, and
still the march of progress goes on.
Thousands OF dollars OF capital have
been attracted here and in the suburbs,
and manufactures have followed.
The Virginian- Pilot proposes to is
sue special Industrial edition and
trade review. going fully into the his
tory of the past and the conditions of
the present, not only for the enlighten-
ment Of prospective investors but for
the Denent OF home people also, that
they may appreciate more their own

Much labor and research will be re-
CURED. as well as considerable time
and means. and 1t is believed that the
effort will be heartily appreciated and
welcomed by those interested in the
development of this port.
