The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1901-11-22
To the President and Members of the

Constitutional Convention:
The Committee on judiciary respect
fully submit the article which, it is the
opinion of the committee, should be sub
United for Article VI Of the present Con-
Stitution.
For the purpose of convenient COMPARE
son. the sections of the old article and
the new are given in parallel columns. I'M
less the section is entirely new, and Will
be found attached to this report.
The most pronounced changes will be
found in the second section, fixing the
jurisdiction Of the Supreme Court of APP
pealS, and in those sections establishing
q. system of courts for the Commonwealth
In the former Constitution the character
of the jurisdiction OF the Supreme Court
of Appeals, whether original or appellate,
is fixed. but the Constitution itself does
not confer jurisdiction. 1t was the opin-
ion of tho committee that in cases in
volving the life or liberty of the citizen
or the constitutionality of any law, this
jurisdiction should be conferred by the
Constitution itself. This is the only
change in principle. Other changes will
be apparent from an examination OF the
old section and the new.
OF VITAL MOMENT
There can be no matter Of greater i'm
portance to the people of this State than
its JUDICIARY. To it is committed the life,
the libery, the property OF The citizen.
After most careful and deliberate con-
ssideration, this committee has concluded
that there should be a single system of
courts between the justice Of the peace
and the Supreme Court of Appeals, and
that the County Courts should be abol-
ished. They have divided the State into
IWenty-four circuits. Outside OF the
cities these courts will have original jur-
iSdicton of all matters except those cog
nizable by q justice of the peace or the
clerk OF the court. The State has been
divided into a sufficient number of cir
cults to permit each county OF the State
to have at least six terms of the Circuit
Court each year. Other circuits, where
business, especially criminal business, is
large. are so arranged as to permit
monthly terms. 1t is believed that this
will greatly expedite the determination Of
civil causes in the counties Of the Com
monweaith and give a speedy and efficient
administration OF criminal justice. 1t is
anticipated that the General Assembly
will give precedence to criminal business
at certain of these terms, to civil business
at others. o. authorize the judge of the
circuit to do SO, but at each
term, both criminal and civil business
may be heard and determined. 1t is
believed it would be well to give to the
Judge Of the circuit discretion, at a civi!
term to give precedence TO L criminal
case should the public interests require it.
The danger that counsel. litfgants and
witnesses in civil cases Will be detained
in attendance upon courts until the crimi-
nal business is disposed of, will thus be
minimized.
The jurisdiction which may be given to
the clerks OF the Circuit Courts in mat
tiers OF probate, the appointment OF guar
dams. etc, will give a tribunal always
open for such matters.

THE OLD WAY
ofTreatins Stomach Trouble aud In
digestion Rarbarons and Useless

Officiating Stomach Trouble aud IN
digestion a Barbaroris and Useless
One.
We say the old way, but really 1t IS
the common and usual one at the pres
ent time ano many dsspeptics, and ply
sicians as we'll, consider the first step in
attempting to cure indigestion is to diet
either by selecting certain food and re-
1ectins others or TO greatly diminish the
quantity Of food usually taken.
IN other words, the starvation plan is
by many supposed to be the first essen
tia! IN the cure of weak digestion.
The almost certain failure of the star
walton cure for the stomach trouble has
been proven time and again, but still the
usual advice, when dyspepsia makes its
appearance, IS a course OF -uteIiu
All this is radically wrong II ,s fool
ish and unscientific to recommend dieting
or starvation to q person suffering from
dyspepsia because Indigestion ttse,f
starves every organ and every nerve and
fibre in the body.
What is needed Is abundant NUTRITION
not less, and this means plenty of good,
wholesome, well-cooked food and some
natural digestive to assist the weak stou
ach to digest 1t.
This is exactly the purpose TOR which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted
and this is the way they cure the worst
cases Of stomach trouble
The patient eats plenty OF wholesome
food, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets dI-
gests it for him.
And this is in accordance with nature
and common sense because In --.is way
the whole system is nourished and the
overworked stomach rested, because the
ia bets will digest the food. whether the
stomach works or not. One of Stuart.s
Dyspepsia Tablets will Gigest 1,eG0 grains
of meat eggs and similar food
Any druggists will tell YOU that Stuart's
DYSPEPSIA Tablets is a remedy of extra
ordinary value and probably is the purest
and safest remedy for stomach troubles.
No person suffering from poor digestion
and lack of appetite can tai TO be I'M
me6iately and permanently benefited II
they would make It 81 practice TO take
one or two of stuartss Dyspepsia Tablets
after each meal,

BY VOTE OF TIL, PEOPLE

BY VOTE OF THE PEOPLE.
In cities containing less than 10000 in
habitants, no chanos is made in the
courts, except that such city may abolish
its corporation or hustngs court by a
vote Of its people at two successive cleo
tons not less than twelve months apart.
In a number of such cities, the corpora
ton or hustings court could have been
abolished and the business easily dispos-
ed of by the regular Circuit Court.
In other such cities, conditions were
different and a strong demand was made
by their representatives and by delega-
lions, for their preservation. They in
Dictated a perfect Willingness that each
such city should pay the entire salary of
its judge. Under such circumstances, it
was determined to preserve the corpora
ton or hustings courts in these cities.
require them to pay the salary OF their
judges, and give them no separate cir
cult court, so long as their city court con-
tinues to exist, and give to each city the
power to abolish its court 1t is the
opinion of the committee that these courts
will survive whele needed and will soon
cease to exist in other such cities.
The success of any judicial system
must depend very largely upon the char
acter and ability of its judges. 1t is i'm
possible to command the best talent for
paid the juoges. Therefore, it has been
determined that it is wise to fix a mini
mum salary for all judges except those
in cities containing less than 10000 in
habitants. One-half of these salaries is
to be paid by the State; the other half
by the respective cities and counties, ac-
cor6ing to their population. 1t is con-
templated that these salaries are to be
pa4~ out OF the State Treasury, which is
,h,,rs cd NV ba off DC
and counties.
AS TO JUSTICES.
1t is the opinion of this committee that
justices of the peace should be proVld.u
for in this article Of the Constitution.
This court disposes of many important
matters, and comes more nearly home
to the citizens less fortunate IN this
worlds goods than any other court or
the Commonwealth. The manner of the
selection of its judges is q matter Of the
utmost Importance. It is believed that
their appointment by the judges of the
Circuit Court, except in cities containing
less than 10000 inhabitants, and by the
judge OF the city court in such cities re-
tanning their city court will result in the
selection of men of more ability. higher
character, and in every way better fitted
for these positions.
The first desire OF your committee has
peen 70 give 10 Tie people OIL virginia an
efficient judiciary system. Such Il sys-
tenn, in the end, is the most economical.
Appeals and new trials will ne much less
frequent and justice prompt. equal and
certain.
MINIMUM SALARIES.
Although the M nimum salaries OF the
judges have been fixed at sums IN excess
OF me present salaries. there will be a
considerable saving to the State in actual
salaries paid. rs will appear from the

PERMANENT STATE EXHIBIT.
Plans To Erect Building Near Station Now
Under Way.

Efforts are being made by the State
Fair commission to erect buildings near
the Northern Pacific railway station here
for Il permanent exhibit OF the products
OF the state. + +. Benson. a member
OF the commissions has the matter in
charge and his plans are being received
favorably all over the state.
1t is the plan to erect building large
enough so a. to give space to IA limited
amount Of the products Of each county
in the state, the enterprise to be 4 per-
manent thing and to be in charge OF the
secretary Of the commission, who is to
have his office in the building. The
lumber firms OF the west side nave been
asked to contribute the necessary lum-
Der for the construction Of the building.
Each county OF the lumber district will
be asked to furnish certain kind Of
lumber so it can be worked in in way
as to represent that county. Every
countys exhibit in this line will be dis
tinctive with distinguishing mark. It
is also the plan to have literature Of
each county in the building for distribu-
ton to the people wanting information !;
in other words it will be made bureau
of information for the state as whole
All the counties exhibiting at the state
! fair will be asked to leave their exhibits
in this building permanently, and in
time it is expected to have all the coun-
ties represented in every particular OF
their natural products.
