troduced by A. S. Rice, Democratic

course of the introduction, referred
to Mr.. Montague as the future Gov
ernor of Virginia. For two hours
the crowd listened to one of the
finest speeches ever delivered at
Heathsville and from the remarks
heard afterward it was evil
dent that the speaker had captlvated
his hearers. Although Mr.. Monta-

foul play.

1t was announced in these columns a
few weeks ago that Capt. Thomas, of

violations of the "Jim Grow" law.

hearing Wednesday morning before
Justice Eilskov at White Stone, which
resulted In the acquittal of Capt. Thomas.

monwealth and lawyer from Baltimore

presumed that the case of Capt. Davis will
hardly come up for hearing.
