LOCAL OPTION IN CAMPBELL.
Judge Adams Points TO HIrs. Nation i'll
Charging The Gram Jury.
(Specisl D;snatch to The Times)
Especial Dispatch to The Times.)


LYNCABURG, VA, Feb. 2l.-Local
option prevails in all the districts of
Campbell county with the exception of
Brookville District. which lies adjacent
to LynchburS. Many statements have
been made as to frequent violations OF
the law in the local option districts, ana
at the term of the County Court which
has just adjourned Judge Stephen Adams
directed the grand jury to take up the
matter and to give 1t a thorough investi-
CATION. In his charge to the jury, Judge
Adams urged them to see that the law
was carried out faithfully and pointed
out that they had ample authority to
summon witnesses and to ascertain eN-
actly what was the true state of affairs.
He referred to the methods pursued by
Mrs Nation, and said that he hoped the
local option laws in Campbell would be
so carefully enforced by the authorities
that no Mrs. Nation would be furnished
with q preteXt for resorting to violent
measures.
He said that he did not wish to init
mate in the slightest degree that he en-
dorsed Mrs. Nations conduct, and his
presentation of the matter was made to
the jury in the hope that the local option
law, as long as it was in force, might
be honestly observed. If the law was
not found practicable and was recog-
nized as Objectionable. it could be easily
annulled but as long as it was the law
it should be carried out.
Acting on the judges suggestions, the
grand jury summoned at the last term
of court about twenty witnesses. who
were examined in regard to certain al
legged violations Of the local option act.
1t is stated that while the grand jury
arrived at no definite decision in regard
to the matter, sufficient reasons We're
found for a continuance of the investi-
CATION, and it is said that about one hun
dred witnesses will be summoned to APP
pear before the grand jury at the next
term of the County Court
