vcntion, voters in same sections OF the
State were opposed to the holding OF a
convention. And SO 1t Is plain he went
on, that the fact that the freeholders
having appointed their delegates under
act of assembly, cannot, even by the
most distant implication. be considered as
conveying any assent of theirs, that the
new Constitution should be submitted for
acceptance or rejection. to any persons
but themselves. If they shall assent to
this constitution, IL they shall choose
to ratify it, well and good. There is an
end of the matter: theirs is the power.
though theirs will not be the glory. Sir.
it is as plain as any proposition In Euclid;
Sir. it Is pIainer-it is self-eyident that
no other power on earth, save that from
which this convention derived all its
authority to propose any Constitution at
all. can rightfully pronounce on the va
lidity of our acts or decide upon the ac-
ceptance or rejection of such Constitu-
ton as we shall make"
Mr. Randolph was defeated, but it is
to be noted that this Constitution pro-
vided Tor the enlargement and not the
restriction Of the suffrage.
Passing on to the Constitutional Con-
vention of 1850, we find a still further
enlargement of the suffrage. The Con-
stitution framed by this convention pro-
vided for universal white suffrage.
Every white male citizen Of the Com

State for two years, and Of the county,
city or town where he offers to vote for
twelve months next preceding the cleo
tion.. was qualified under Article III. of
that Constitution to vote, the exception
being paupers, and convicts only.
Finally in 1869 the present Constitution
was framed and the right of suffrage
was still further extended, giving the
privilege to vote to the black man as
well as to the white man. 1t is true, as
is contended, that every Constitution
framed in Virginia. since the inception of
the government has been adopted by the
voters Of those qualified under such Con-
significant that in each instance, as we
have pointed out, the suffrage was en-
larged. 1t is a very different proposition
when it is proposed to restrict the suf-
frage.
Mir. Randolph was right in the lprin-
ciple which he laid down. No other
power, save that from which the con-
vention derives its authority to propose
any convention at all, can rightfully pro-
nounce on the validity of the acts OF the
convention or decide upon the acceptance
or rejection of such Constitution as shall
be made.

The temptation of Jesus is certainly a

TO Him and tempted Him.

SOUTHERN NOTES.
An industry that has grown up in t,

An industry that has grown up in the
South In recent years to a remarkable
extent is the utilization Of cotton seed,
says The Southern Field There are, it
is estimated, 1000 pounds of cotton SEED
produced from each bale of cotton. From
this can be made about twenty gallons
of oil and about 3GS pounds Of meal be-
sides the hulls, which make a good cat
tie food. The building of cotton seed Oil
mills along the Southern Railway has
been very rapid during the last few
years, and it has become a very proml-
nent industry. There are more mills
wanted. The uses. for oil and meal are
increasing very rapidly, and were all the
cotton seed in the United States sent to
the mill it is thought there would De
a market for the products. -
The peach-growers of Georgia say they
are going to have the biggest crop in
the history of the State, and that no frost
can be so blighting as to injure 1t to
any great extent. Delaware, New Jer-
sey and Michigan are yet to be heard
from, but the mere fact that peach-grow-
ers anywhere in this country can be got
to admit that their crop is not complete
~ ruined shows that there has been q
most decided ethical change going on. It
seems that in Georgia usually at TINS
time of year the trees are in full bloom,
or nearly so, and thus are. easy prey 1or
any frost that may chance along rms
year. however, although the trees are
laden with good, healthy buds, the lat
ter have not yet shown the least sign
of swelling So if a frost should come
along it can do little or no harm. Inns
is good news from Georgia, but one can
not be sure that the peach-grower mas
reformed his ways until Delaware, at

has good story to illustrate
his argument.
Mr.. Linney told his collea-
CUES the othe other day the
story of hound and fox hunt
in North Carolina that made
everybody laugh. According to
the Congressman, he had a
friend in his county who was
witty and bright, but little
eccentric. This friend invented
a lubricating oil. He also had
a tavorite dog, which he called
Truman. One morning he
awoke and Truman was climb.
ing the neighboring mountain,
with his voice ringing out clear,
strong and musical. Hearing
the voice of the HOUND he ran
to the path to see him go by.
The dog passed like streak of
creased lightning. THE next
time the dog came around to
the path" continued Mr.
Linney, my friend hurried out
again and saw poor old Truman
creeping along, with the fox
three miles away. He cought
the dog, rubbed him all over
with the lubricatiug oil, and
turned him loose. The dog
climbed the mountain with
greater speed than ever. When
he came back his owner went
out to greet him and, by the
living God! he was three miles
ahead of the fox" I'VE have
