VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.
State Convention to be Held in Norfolk
April 10th the Time.

There was a largely attended meet
ing of the Republican State Commit
tee in Richmond on 10Th inst. Hon.
Park Agnew. of Alexandria, chair
man presided. Among those present
were Gen. James A. Walker, ex-con-
gresham Bowden, Edgar Allan, Col.
K. Il. Hubbard and Gen. Stith Boiling:
The attendants included number OF
coored men.
The committee called State con-
vention to meet in Norfork April 10 to
elect delegates to the national conven-
ton. The representation will be 673,
with 313 alternates. 1t is to be based
upon the vote for Mckinley in 1896,
Committees of ten from each Congress
sional district were appointed omeet
at Alexandria to draft plan of party
organization or amend the present
one. These recommendations are to
be submitted to the Norfolk convenN
ton.
1t was expected that the policy of
the party regarding the determine
ton of the Democratic Legislature to
submit to the voters the question OF
calling constitutional convention
would be determined, but the mat
ter was only casually referred to-.
There is some difference of opinion
among the leaders on this question OF
calling constitutional convention.

The following appears in the legis-
lative proceedings reported in late
issue of the Richmond Dispatch:
Mr.. Matthews presented a petition
signed by twenty-four citizens OF Ac-
comac, requesting that the county of
Accomac be cut in half, and that the
upper half be converted into u new
county. 1t is set forth in the petition
that the county il sixty-fiYe miles
long, and the courthouse is thirty
four miles from the upper half of the
county.
Our representatives in the Legisla-
ture would hardly conclude, we be-
lieve, that they were voicing the
wishes of their constituents, if it was
in their power, to have bill passed
in accordance with the will Of the
few appended to the petition de-
scribed above. Further comment,
however, is unnecessary, than to
state, that they are prohibited from
taking a step in that direction, by
section 10th of the constitution of
Virginia, which reads as follows: mo
new county shall be formed with an
area of less than 900 square miles, nor
shall the county or counties from
which it is formed be reduced below
that area, &C."

DAUGHTERS OF LIBERTY.
Will Hold Their Convention at Crewe,
Va, April 24th.

The State Council of Virginia,
Daughters of Liberty, will convene
iu annual session in Crewe on Tues
day, April Gath, to legislate and make
laws for the government OF subordi-
nate councils in the State. Reports
of the officers of the State Council
will be submitted and other matters
Of interest will engage the attention
of the Daughters. Several of the
national officers are expected to at
tend the meeting.
The Daughters of Liberty is an or
ganization having for its object the
PRONUNCIATION of American principles
in harmony and conjunction with the
Junior Order of United American
Mechanics, and has many members in
this city.
This order was first organized at
Meriden, Conn.,, in January, 1870,
and since that time has grown to a
membership of more than $4,000, and
has more than 800 councils in thirty
four States. In Virginia there are
twenty-four councils, with a mem-
bership of 5000, and at the present
time new councils are being instl-
tuted in different sections of the
State. In this State alone during
the last three months they paid out
in sick benefits, $1.22S and about $500
in death benefits. The order is COM
posed of about two thirds females
and about one third males, and at
the present time is doing good
work. AS indicated, this is patrio-
tic and beneficial American organiza-
ton. The first council instituted in
this State was Virginia Council No.
2, in Fulton, organized about five
years ago. The State Council was
Instituted in 1S97.-Richmond Dis

Ex-senator German, of Maryland,
is in line for Bryan as the next demo-
cratic nominee for the Presidency.
He is not only for him, but believes
his chances are better now than in
1896 and as greatly improved in the
last three weeks. He says he was
opposed to his re- nomination, but
has been converted-and with Cor
man out of the way as Presidential
possibility, all opposition to Mr..
Byran in his party at the next Demo
cratic National Convention is practi>
cally at an end, He will be re-nomi
mated by reclamation and all demo-
Gratis, whatever their views on the
money question, had as well make up
their minds at once either to give him
their support or to go over to their
enemy. The choice must now be
either Bryan or Mckinley, and no
democrat ought to be long in decid-
ing between them.
Mr. German has friends, who de-
clare, he would make good running
mate for Mr.. Bryan, and who be-
lieve, if he could be induced to &C.
cept the nomination for Vice .Presi-
dent, that the ticket would win
hands down, las besides the solid
South it would receive the votes not
only of Western, but Northern

VIRGINIA FENCE LAW.
The Supreme Court Holds 1t to be Con.
StitutIOnal.

The Supreme Court, in the case OF
Poindexter VS. Nav. appealed from
the circuit court of Louisa. has decid-
ed that the Fence Law of Virginia is
constitutional. The following re-
port of the opinion, delivered by
Judge Harrison in the case, appears
In the Richmond Dispatch of the 10th
inst:
The court in this decision, for the
first time in several years, CONSTITUTES
and upholds the fence law of Virginia.
In a lengthy and able opinionIJudge
Harrison deals with the various, con
flicting, and sometimes seemingly
foolish enactmeuts of the Legislature
and by irrefutable logic and cogent
reasoning reaches the conclusion
that the fence law still exists in this
State despite the difficulties and dam
gers TO which it has been subjected.
The opinion shows that the gener-
81 fence law, as given in the Code OF
1887, was, in 1890. re-enacted &c as to
apply to Orange county alone; in 1913
an attempt was made 70 re-enact the
general law by repeating the last
named, and on the same day it was
re-euacted in terms. At the session
of 1S97>'9S simple law was enacted
for Accomac county alone, which.
however, did not vary the general
fence law then in force, both as to
the whole State and Accomac county.
The effect of theie statutes, the
opinion holds, is to change the rule
of the common law requiring owners
of stock to restrain them on their
own premises. and makes such owners
liable only for trespass of stock upon
lands enclosed by a lawful fence
This, however, does not give an
owner the right to drive his animals
upon the unenclosed lands OF an
other, and for such d wilful or mali
cious trespass he would be liable as
at common law.
The opinion further holds that the
fence law of this State is not uncon-
stitutional, since its does not take
private property for public use, but
simply regulates its use and enjoy
ment; nor does it interfere with the
means of acquiring and possessing
property.
The decree of the lower court is
affirmed.

The candidacy of Hon. William A.
Jones is commented upon in a late
issue of the Free Lance and the con-
clusion seems to have been reached
by our contemporary. that he would
be his own successor. combinations
might be effected" though, in the
opinion of that journal, which would
retire Mr.. Jones to private life and
the Eastern Shore, it is intimated,
might be party to such an arrange
ment. The combination, which the
Lance suspects, however, seems to
be founded on 'rumors" and are
properly designated as such, we be-
lieve, so far as the Eastern Shore is
concerned. If there is any opposi-
tion to Mr.. Jones in this section, it
has not at least materialized to date
and will not we believe. On the con-
trary, our people of late have found
nothing in Mr.. Jones to condemn
but much to commend him to them
as faithful and efficient public SER
want. Our people. in fact, are so well
pleased with him at present, because
of his views on the money question:
in the matter OF the election of
United States Senators by the peo>
pie, and for the stand taken by him
against machine politics." that we
have no doubt, that he could get the
"send-off" if a convention were held
at this time in Accomac, which the
Lance has discovered he is seeking at
the hands of his constituents in West
moreland, with the hope of infiuen>
cling other counties that follow in the
selection of delegates" A candidate
for Congress from the Eastern Shore
would doubtless get the support OF
its people, if he was in harmony with
them on public questions OF interest
to them, but no combination could
be effected which would have their
support, having for its object only
the defeat Of Mr.. Jones. 1t is safe to
predict at least, we believe, that Mr.
Jones will represent us another term
in Congress, if the vote of the East
ern Shore only is necessary to give
him the denomination.
