E. FL. Barclay, delegate from this
county:
A fiery war-horss is Mr.. Barclay, Of
Rockbridge. He lcst an arm in the
Confederate cause and has been writing
newspaper editorials with the other
ever since. he is amsn of a great deal
of earnestne's, and when he declared
last Friday that he knew be was going
to throw bombshell in the House, re.
ferring to statement he had inst made,
which had provoked discussion, hi
raussd to give the emphasis of silence.
Mr.. HUBBARD, who was taking the oppo-
site view of The question at Issue, in
stantly rstorted;

ers or small crackers" bringing down
the house. The two men exchanged
opinions as to the relative merits of The
lawyers and newspaper men, in which
MIR. Hubbard declar. d that the infali-
bility OF the press was a very much
over rated article, and Mr.. Barclay
thanked his Maker that he was not a

ELECTION LAWS.

In the Senate Monday Senator
Barksdals introduced a bill TO prevent
the use Of money in elections. This bill
is based on tho Missouri statute, and is
much more stringent than the former
bill on the same subject offered by
Senator Barksd.le at the opening Of
session. Among the provisions is one
to the effect that il the candidate on a
ticket who is next to the one elected,
be may institute proceedings and have
the successful candidate oustsd il it
shall be proven that money was used
to accomplish his election, and the
person receiving the second highest
number of votes shall be awarded the
rights and privileges and shall assume
the duties of such Office, provided il
shall not appear that the second high
est man did not use money in his
election.
In the House Monday Msssrs
Powell and Barclay introduced 81
amendment to the election law, which
seeks to impose an educational quail
feation, without directly SO stating.
The bill provides for the removal Of
the judge, or constable, from the booths,
and leaves the illiterats voter to mark
his ballot unaidsd. The bill provides
or the appointment Of = supervisor
from each political party represented
in The election, who shall enter the
booths and mark ballots Tor all electors |
who are blind or otherwise physically
disqualified from performing this ser
nee for themselves, but those super
risors shall mark ballots for mono other. |
The judges are to pass on the physical
disqualification before the supervisor
nay act.

"Some lectures simply amuse; they

SAVE THE WATER !

Lexington is seriously threatened
with water famine. The reservoir is
about empty. This is owing to the
continued drought and also from the
fact that during the cold spell eonsum-
ers allowed the water to waste.
At a meeting Of the Town Council
it was ordered that the water be cut
of from the town during the day from
2 to 5 p. m. and during the night from
8 to 5 o'clock in order to replenish the
supply in the reservoir. Should fire
occur the fremen would be pewerless.
We hope our people will see the i'm
portance of this and SAVE THE
WATER
