VOTE RING RULE OUT,
(Richmoad Ne,es)

(Richm0ad Netcs)
The State of Virginia is divided
into hundred counties. In each of
those counties there is a judicial
system, virtually controlled by the
representative in the Legislature, and
school system, virtually controlled
10y the Governor and Attorney
General.
These conditions make opportu-
ity for ring and machine rule such
as no other State in the Union has.
Every man who offers himself as a
candidate for the convention should
be required to say what he will vote
for or against in the matters most
closely concerning our State govern
ment.. Especially should every man
who is a candidate for the couven-
tion be required to tell how he will
vote on the question of making the
people or the ofiice-holders supreme.
Certainly the present system of
making a county representative the
master of the judicial system of his
county and the Governor and Attor-
ney-General masters of the school
system of the counties ought to be
changed.
With the present system ring and
machine rule is not only possible but
almost inevitable. There should be
a change to do away with the whole
system of county courts and to give
the election of county school super.
intendents to the people.
ASK your candidate for the con-
vention how he thinks and will vote
on these questions. If he does not
suit you, look about for another man
and vote for him if he represents
your ideas. On You, voter, rests a
heavy part of the responsibility for
having the new constitution a good
one. Be sure to know who and what
you arc voting for before you vote.

CASE IN POINT.

Water cannot rise above its source.
No man can be expected to attribute
to another higher motives than those
which animate himself. The aban-
doned and the outcast sccff at the
idea of virtue among their fellows.
They attribute alone the well-being
and well-doing of others to motives
of self-interest. In their view all
things which others do which are
honest and right and good have at
the bottom hypocricy, the desire fol-
appreciation or fear of reprobation.

America from their sisters in South
Africa.
DEAR FRIENDS
There is certainly not country,
or province, or state, in any of your
Kingdoms or empires which has not
been reached by the tidings of this
terrible war which has been raging
IN our country for more than year,
and which has laid waste the South
African Republic and the Orange
Free State.
Whatever difference of opinion
there may exist in the apportioning
OF blame to the one side or the other,
there can be but one opinion as to
the necessity of affording relief to the
innocent sufferers-the women and
the children. BY the burning down
of the farmhouses, the sending down
of women and children, the taking
of their cattle, destroying their food
and threatening to confiscate their
land, many hundreds of these unfor-
tunate people have lost everything,
and are destitute of clothing, food
and shelter. Most touching infor-
nation of distress comes to us almost
daily. Their friends and relatives
In Cape Colony have given freely of
their means to aid the sufferers, but
they cannot oyertake tithe of the
relief required, and it is expected
that the distress will become more
aggravated. 1t is therefore that we
come to you asking you to help. You
may do this by sending money, or by
forming committees among your
friends or in places where you like
to collect funds.
We pray God to incline your hearts
to help us,and to bless you in SO odoing.
We remain, in the name of the
women of South Africa.

ters of the Dutch churches, as well

THE PUNGIE NOT AGAME BIRD.
Does Well in Heavy Weather but
Can't Sail Against SlOops.

Editor The Richmond Meacs:
That man who told so much about
the oyster puDgie in the Saturday
evening Neacs did not know what he
was talking about. The pungie il
the deepest draft vessel built any
where in this part of the country,
and not shallow as stated. They have
keels but no ceDtreboards, as stated.
They are good sailers in heavy
weather, but cannot get there. with
other craft in light weather, especially
if the wind is fair.
There is sloop on the Chesapeake
Bay which can outsail any pungie
ever built three hundred and twenty
five days out of the three hundred
and sixty-6ve in the year. Her name
is the Flora Elsie, and she's not a
new boat, either. There are several
other sloops on the Chesapeake Bay
which can average better sailing
than the pungie.
The northern-built yachts which
sail the International races are sloop-
rugged aud can sail within two points
OF the wind, which would make a
tack each way within four points.
How is pungie to sail three or four
points better than that! Why, one
of those yachts would outsail a pun
gle more than half way in light
weather, one-fourth to one-third in
heavy weather.
Very truly yours,
(CAPT.) j. ID. ELMs.

HICKS FORECASTS FOR MAY.

On and touching 2nd and 3rd
marked barometric fluctuations will
appear, ending in veruaI storms.
A rapid rise of barometer, with cool
west winds and frost northward due
on the 9th to Q.
Look for some very active storms
of rain, wind and thunder from 9Th
to 9th. Another change to rising
barometer, west winds and vsry cool
nights will follow the storms of this
period.
On and about 18th to 18th will
fall a marked reaction to storm con-
ditions. Viciods thunder storms, with
possible violence are probable; also
from 18th to Goth. Very cool nights
will follow with the higher barometer
from about 10th to 22nd. Frost in
the north very pro bable during these
nights.
A reactionary storm period runs
from the 23rd to the 25tb; in all
probability the storm conditions of
this period will be so prolonged as
to reach crisis about 26th. This
is time when we may reasonably
look for daily series of rain and
thunder storms. Very cool nights,
with frosts in many sections, often
follow the breaking up of these daily
May storms. A warm wave for the
season, falling barometer and wide
storm areas will be advancing from
western extremes during the closing
days of May.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE, Nd, September 10, 1901.
The executive committee of the Mont
gomery County Anti-Saloon League met
here today with large attendance of the
members. The meeting had been looked
forward to with considerable interest as it
was thought that some understanding
would be reached to which of the can
didates nominated by the various parties
would receive the support Of the league at
the November election. Action OF this
character, however, was postponed until
the next meeting, which will be held early
in October.
1t was apparent that the custom of the
league to address a letter to each of the
candidates asking him to declare his posi-
ton on the local option law had grown IN
disfavor and it is understood that personal
interviews will be the plan followed in the
future.
A resolution was adopted, which after
reciting that the difficulties that have been
encountered in the efforts to enforce the
local option law had disclosed the insufhci-
ency of existing penalties. and that the
time had come when the interests of the
county demanded that the law should be
strengthened by an amendment providing
imprisonment as an additional penalty, and
legislature to take such action as Will Sc
cure this provision. declared in favor Of
the passage of a law making the posses
sion of a United States revenue tax receipt
