dates on the new Constitution. The Hon.
John e. Massey, who is Il candidate, de
clared in favor of DISTINGUISHING the
negro, of applying the money paid by
white tax payers to the education Of
white children, and reducing the number
of officers and their salaries as far as it
can be done compatible with efficient ad-
ministration. He declared in favor of the
election of officers by the people, and shat
by viva voce vote.

Dir finishing the number of Common
wealth's attorneys in the same proper

people, but those that assess and collect
the taxes should be ineligible for re-
election until after an intervening term.
NO SCHOOL SUPERINTINDEN
He thinks the cCunty and city superin-
