.ATARRh

Catarrh has become such common
disease that person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint IS seldom met
with. 1t is customary to speak Of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
a simple inflammation OF the nose and
throat. 1t is, in fact, complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated BY
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis'
factory and disappointing, because they do
not reach the seat Of the trouble. S. S. S.
does. 1t cleanses the blood OF the poison
and eliminates from the system all catar-
rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly
and permanently the worst cases.

Hon J. s. Barbour, of Culpeper: Ii Mr..
Roosevelt desires to have negroes to
dine with him. he doubtless has the right
to crafty his tastes in that direction,
but the fact that his tastes run in that
direction shows either that he has no
conception OF the sentiment of the Sou tn
touching such matters, or, fully under
standing it, cares not n snap for it. In
either event his conduct can have but
one effect. and that will be to chill to
death the feeling of admiration for and
confidence in him, which had taken such
a strong hold on the southern people. |
very much regret his action
Hon. ]. B. Y. Thornton, OF Prince VIII
liam: "Of course, no one can question the
right of President Roosevelt to entertain a
negro as his guest II he desires to do so, but
from my standpointitisin comprehensible
how a man of his superior opportunities
could enjoy it. think it can be explain
ed by his abnormal passion for notoriety
rather than from deliberate purpose to
insult and offend the whole Southern
people and his noble mothers memory.
1t is discouraging TO find that the high
position has not balanced him at all.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
Beings Of and Sayings in and About the
Great Virginia Body.

The convention will do little between
now and the coming election. There Isl
disposition on the part OF many IN favor
of taking recess untilafter that contest,
but it will probably not be done. Some
OF the leaders think that ii would be lm-
polite for the convention TO go before
the people with the record OF thus delay
ING the work for which it was assembled.
All the sections Oi the Bill
of Rights relating u trial by
Jury. were adopted without material
amendment; but when section ; was
reached the same old fight was gOneluto,
and Mr.. Moore, OF Fairfax, offered his
amendment allowing a court, in criminal
cases. with consent of both parties, 10
hear and determine the case without the
i1terventiOn of jury.
The convention adopted Section 5 Of
the report OF the Committee on the Bill
of Rights relating to the trial OF accused
persons pleading guilty without the
Intervention of a jury. This action per
mits the trials by the Judge of all persons
charged with Ofienses not punishable by
death or confinement in the penitentiary.
The prisoner and the Commonwealth
Attorney must. however, consent TO
this and the matter be made one OF
record
The Quarles- Barbour resolution, which
was at first approved by the Bill OF
Rights Committee, and afterwards re-
considered will hear argument on the
question, reading as follows:
l. No Intoxicating liquors shall be sold
in this State without a license therefor
first obtained.
,. No license to sell Intoxicating liquors
in quantities of less than five gallons
shall be authorized or granted for a pc
riod of more than twelve months, nor
without the written request OF a majority
of the legally qualified and registered
voters actually resident in the election
precinct of the city, town, village or
magisterial district wherein such liquors
are intended TO be sold.

Death Of Gen. Walker.

Gen. Jas. A. Walker, distinguished
officer of the Confederate Army of North
ern Virginia, died Sunday in Wytheyille.
He participated in the battles of Manas-
sas, Mine Run, fredericksburg, Wilderness,
Spotsylvania c. Ii. and Others.
In 1869 he was nominated for Lieut.
Governor with Col r. +. Withers for
Governor, and Hon. John l.. Marye for
Attorney General. This ticket was after
ward Withdrawn. Gen. Walker was
elected to the Virginia House OF Delegates
from Pulaski county, serving two terms
in that body.
In 1877 he was nominated for Lieut.
Governor by the Democrats. He was
elected and served until 1881. In 1894
he was nominnted by the Republicans of
the Ninth Congressional district for Con.
gress. He accepted the nomination and
defeated Judge Morrison. He was again
renominated in 1896, 1898 and 1900.
lie was reelected in 1896, but was de-
feated in 1898 and 1900 by Judge Vim.
f. Rhea, of Bristol.
Gen. Walker attended three national
conventions, the first one, as a Democrat,
in 1876. The others were in 1896 and

HOLDING TWO JOBS.
Delegates Who Are \ mbsrs OF the Legis-

Some weeks ago THE FREE Lance pro-
pounded the same question as asked be-
low by the Dispatch reporter:
What will you gentlemen who are
members of both the constitutional Con.
vention and the Legislature do when the
time for the last named body to meet ar
rvcs2' asked Dispatch reporter Of
Hon. & Harding Walker, the member of
the Convention from Northumberland,
who il also member OF the state Senate
Il do not think there will be any - -
sion Oi the Legislature until the Cunven-
ton has completed its work said Mr..
Walker. The Legislature will meet and
adjourn until the Convention has con
cuded its labors in my opinion, said
the gentleman.
Continuing MIR Walker said he did not
see how the General Assembly could leg
islate intelligently until the organic law
oi the State had been adopted. Officers
heretofore elective by the Legislature
could not be elected until it was known
whether the Convention would or would
not abolish the positions to be- filled, or
change the manner OF electing To them.
OF the members Of the Convention who
W RI members of the last General Assem-
bly,. and who will be- members OF the
next. are Senators Glass, keczel. and
Walker, and Delegates Parks and Boaz.
In view of the approach Ut the time when
the Legislature will assemble ~ its bien-
NAL session M provided by the Constitu-
ton now in force. and the probability
that the Constitutional Convention will
not have completed it's work Of drafting
the new organic law. the question il "a
very interesting one. There are some
who do not agree with MIR Walker.
