Recent reports from the various
yearly meetings or conventions Of
Friends indicate that this orgapixa-
tIon Ii In danger Of disappearing.
Thirteen yearly meetings report 024
deaths aud 772 births, q net loss Of
152. This loss occurs In all the meet
inss but three-in Ohio, where the
births exceed the deaths by one: in
Kansas, where the births are one-half
more numerous thnt the deaths, and in
Oregon, where they are twice as nu-
merous, though the meeting itself is
small. In ten eastern meetings the ex-
cess of deaths was 232. This falling
on Is ascribed In part to the fact that
the younger members of the society
are leaving 1t and entering other COM
munions This dark outlook for the
society is affected only in degree by q
slight increase In its membership in
England to total of 1886. The
great bulk of the denomination is In
this country, the number in 1891 being
some $1,000. There were In Ireland at
the snme time 2,687 and In Canada
1,1O9.

would stop a large levy being made,

l am In favor of making the office of
Commissioner of the Revenue eligible
for or ly one term. think our expenses
surrounding the Court of Appeals are
entirely too much. Take for instance
one item that of printing records of
cases coming before that court by the
present law, they are printed by the
public printer at cost of not less than
one hundred and fifty dollars. Why
not any man who has case in that
court have the records printed whereev-
er he wishesg 1t certainly would not
cost over twenty-five dollars.
l believe our real estate should be as
sessed by board of appraisers and they
should be elected by the people-one
from each district. Now, Mr.. Editor,
these are my views also those of some
two hundred other voters in my end of
the county. If you have a man who
wants TO go to the constitutional con
vention and thinks as we do and has
the backbone 10 work for these things
after he gets in the convention, all you
have to do is TO trot him out and we
will support him with sill our might

ed to think that a comrade- in arms
should have taken, or attempted to take.
this ingenious method of injuring a
comrsde. do not believe the people of
this county will endorse this attempt to
prejudice M. Moore's candidacy.
DR.. kerfoot charges that the petition
calling on Mr.. Moore was circulated Sc
cretly and in the dark. The writer of
this saw Mr.. William Levi making q
public exhibition of it st q public sale
with no effort that could see of trying
to hide 1t.
The Or. wants lsyman. Well, l
don't believe myself that a preacher
ought to be sent down there, because
there is no telling what such fellows
might do and we would be sorry for IL
after.
The DR.. has given US quite list of
men better qualified than Moore for this
honorable post. Many of them signed
hoOre's petition, and as they didn't
know what a set of Jackanapes they
were until he pointed out to them their
ignorance. 1 take 1t for granted they
will be struck of the list as imbeciles.
These gentlemen would cut nice figure
in Virginia convention. Instead of
going 10 the convention they ought to
be sent up TO the asylum.
The DIR. says Moore voted against the
convention. don't know how he voted
and don't care. Does that disaualify
himY do not think II needs an answer,
the proposition itself is absurd. All the
white people, and there were a good
many, who voted against the convention
were in favor of it, but preferred delay
or some less expensive method, and
think their apprehensions were justified
from present indications.
Another objection TO Moore 10 that ne
has expressed or formulated no plan of
n constitution. Have you Dr's? IL you
have let US have il. Doctor, do you know
of any body who has plan. or any part

not require a new constitution to affect

Dear Editor: AS the Legislature is
representation of the constitutional con-
vention, wish TO express my opinion in
regard TO the number of delegates
Don't you think that each county should
haye one delegate? That would give Us
one hundred delegates TO be chosen at
the general spring election on the fourth
Thursday in May. According to the
present outlook the convention will
meet early in June. Should the Legis-
lature adopt plan providing for one
hundred delegates, il would be in line
with that of former bodies of this kind
in the state. 1t has been pointed out
that the convention of 1929 and 80 had
SO members, four from each Senatorial
district; and that those held later con-
tanned about one hundred members.
Mr.. Editor, think this will be the most
important convention ever held in Vir-
ginia. We have been living under a
constitution, forced upon us by the
point of the bayonet, ever since the war.
A constitution not adapted TO our peo-
pie, one that has cost US unnecessarily
thousands of dollars In taxes. When
s0me of your readers read this they will
say The Legislature will remedy many
of these evils" say, why has not the
Legislature done it beforey If they had
we would never have had to haye this
constitutional convention, and the I'm
derwood constitution would have been q
thing of the past and saved the people
this great expense.
Take, for instance, the elections held
in this State. Every one will agree that
we have too many elections-one every
year and two every other year. 1t costs
the taxpayers sixty thousand dollars
every time we hold one in the State. !
am in favor of one election every two
years.
Now, let us say something about the
schools. / believe each county should
rstain its own school tax, and have the
right to contract for its own books and
elect its own trustees. Three trustees
for each school; said trustees should be
elected from the people who patronize
the free schools. If we do this we will
have the same plan that West Virgins
and Maryland have, which boast of far
better schools than we. l am in favor
of dividing the school tax; give the
white people what they pay and the
colored people what they pay. Under
the present school system, we have been
neglecting the white children long
enough. believe we change one text
book every year, which cost the peopl G
five Thousand dollars under the present
system. / think we should do away
with the State superintendent of schools
thereby saving three thousand dollars.
Now let US take some of the other ex.
penses of the state. The Common.
wealth's Attorneys of each county of the
State are paid by a. fee system, which
costs the people one hundred
thousand dollars on non.
convictions, and can be reduced
by the constitutional convention. The
county Judge can be disposed of and
adopt the Magisterial court and save
