Mr. Paxton's candidacy is in response

Botetourt people are much interested
in constructing railroad from this point

BEDFORD CITY, March iii ThomD-
son Brown, former delegate from Bed
ford, announced himself a candidate for
the Constitutional Convention in an open
letter in the Democrat to-day. Mr..
Brown. who has splendid country
estate at Briertield. III the county, is.
closely identified with the interest of:
the farmers. and it is at tile request OF
Il number OF these that he becomes q
candidate. Mr.. Brown represented the.
county in the Legisla ture several years

r. S. West. OF Bellevue. has declined to.
allow the use of his name for the honor,
but W. p. Burks. of Sedalia. whose name
has frequently been mentioned as q con-
vention possibility. has formally an
nounced his candidacy. Mr.. Burks is
a prosperous farmer. and has served one
term in the Legisla ture.

issues and stirring up more active inter
est among the people of the county.
AS yet the country people are by no
means awake. and few seem to realize
+ the vast Importance attaching to consti-5
tutional revision. The opinion is freely
expressed here that, unless interest Is.
awakened. the convention will be worse
than failure, and that nothing. except
negro disfranchisement, will be accom-
plished. With county officials taking
active interest and bent on preserving
intact the offices that furnish their liveli-
hood, there is serious danger here and
will be chosen who will be unwilling to,
support real reform in the judiciary.
Interest in the gubernatorial contest.
up to this time latent, is daily becoming
Stronger, and on many sides are heard
discussions and predictions. Mr.. Mon
tague would probably receive the entire
Bedford delegation if the vote We're taken
to-day, but the workers for Mr.. Swan
4 Son are astute politicians, and 1t is diff
cult to. limit the effect Of their work.

FRONT ROYAL, VA, March 21.-The
counties of Warren and Clarke, being en-
titled to one delegate in the Constitu-
tional Convention. have decided to hold
primaries on the Goth Of April to nomi-
nate a candidate. The vote of the two
counties was SO close at the last general
election that the chairmen of the two
counties thought it best not to hold a
convention, as there was the possibility
of a deadlock. Both counties have a
candidate-Mr. A. Moore from Clarke,
and Mr.. d. C.. OsFiaherty from Warren
who are very likely to have the support
of their respective counties, and it was
thought best to determine the question
by popular vote:
Polls viii be open at one place in each
district in both counties on the day
named. at which all white voters who
pledge themselves to support the noni-s
nee will be eligible to vote. It is not
likely tia t. there will be more than the
two candidates in the field.
