Mr.. POLLARD UR Ed TO RUN.
Gossip About The Coming Constitis.
t!onIl Convention.

The friends of Mr.. J. Garland Pol!a
are urging him TO become candida
for the constitutional Convention IRON
this city While Mr.. Pollard has reache,
no conclusion in the matter. he is known
70 have it under advisement, and ma
later determine to enter the race.
Mr. Pollard belongs to family OF Srea
LAWYERS and students, and has a decided
liking for the constitutional branch OF
the law. He has for a long time been
studying the questions involved in chang
in. the organic law Of Virginia, and has
secured copies Of the Constitutions OF all
the other States in the Union to aid him
in the matter.
Mr.. Pollard graduated with high honors
at the Columbian University. IN WasAlnS-
ton. D. c.. several years ago. and STUDIED
Constitutional law under Justices Brew
er. and Harlan. of the United States Su-
% ene Court OF ApnealS.
There is much gossip among the MEM
bers of the bar concerning changes that
will. probably he made III regard 10 the
judiciary Of The State by the coming
constitutional Convention. One mat
ter which thsy say demands attention IS
the delay in rendering decisions by judges
in certain sections OF the State, in cases
on the chancery side OF the Circuit Courts
after they have been submitted In look
ing into the question, It has been dlscoF-
cred that q number OF States have en-
bodied in their Constitutions provisions
requiring Judges to render their decisions
in chancery causes within thirty or SIN
" DAYS after they are submitted, and al.
20 requiring them 10 make affidavit when
they draw their salary that they nave

GOOD REASON FOR II.
The Success and Popularity Of the
New Catarrh Cure.


The remarkable success and popularity
OF The new catarrh cure-stuarrs Catarrh
Tablets-is largely because it not only
cures catarf.h, but because catarrh suffer
crs who use these tablets know what tiley
are taking into their systems; no secret
is made OF what they contain, They are
composed Of Hydrastin. blood root, guaia-
col and red gam, are pleasant 10 the

The cures taat Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
haze accomplished III old chronic cases are

Vantage Of knowing gust what YOU are
taking INTO yo,r system is OF paramount
Importance when IL is remembered that
the cocaine or morphine h25it has been
frequently contracted as the result OF as
ing secret cat2rrh remedies, as 50 many
OF them are well known to contain these
injurious drugs.

approval and cordial support OF physicians
because their auteseptic character renders

From present indications there is 10
danger of a scarcity OF coal in Richmond

While it is hard to secure shipments
from the mines by rail- those dealers in

their coal by water are amply supplied.

that the trade can be furnished without
serious difficulty. Besides the large sup

Give This Your Attention.

Procrastination on the part of voters
in registering is going to cause trouble
and annoyance on election day. If this
negligence effected only those who are
delaying compliance with the law, the
matter would not be SO serious, but
those who have met the requirements are
to suffer as well. 1t is the duty, then, of
everyone to agitate the question and
urge voters to register.
Considerably over half the time allotted
for this work has passed aud only about
1000, or little over one-half of the county
vote has been recorded. All who do not
register will have to meet the require
ments:of blank ga" and this work will SO
consume the, attention of the judges and
clerks on election day that only small
portion of those who have registered can
vote between the hours set for this pur-
pose,
There seems to be an idea prevalent,
that an extra force OF clerks can be put
on at the last moment and all may go on
record at once. This is wrong impress
ion. There is only one record book, and,
obviously, but one man can work on
registration at time no matter what the
number of applicants may be.
There is no reason for delay in this
matter, and those who have not regis
tered are doing an injustice to the clerk
and those who have Let every voter in
Corvallis, whose name does not appear
on the roll, attend to this duty before
the rush of work coincident with court
week in April, commences.
