v!rginia's Education Fund.

One OF the most interesting questions
to be disposed OF by the Constitutional
Convention, and one which will cause a
great debate in that body, is the matter
OF dividing the school fund between the
white and black races in the State. The
committee on education will, shortly al
ter the convention reconvenes, take up
the report OF the subcommittee and put
it in final shape TO be submitted to the
convention.
The principles contained in the report
have already been adopted. The sub
committee is composed Of Messrs. Nc
Ilwaine, Thornton. Watson, Pollard, and
Bro wn. They have reported favorably
the resolution offered by Mr.. Watson,
which practically provides for division
of a part of the school fund at least.
The sub-committee's recommendation
on the subject has also been adopted by
the general committee, and now the con-
ventior is to pass upon it. The State
tax of mill is to be divided for the
benefit Of all the children Of the State,
but the county tax Of 5 mills is allowed,
under the Watson resolution, to be dis
tributed "as the public welfare may re-
quire, and this is constructed to allow
a division of it between the races, II 1t
shall be deemed proper by the authori-
ties. The debate over this proposition
will proye of great interest.

A Physician Testihes.

Il have taken Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
and have never used anything in my life
that did me the good that did," says
County physician Geo. W. Scroggs OF
Hall County, Ga, "Being physician |
have prescribed it and found it to give
the best results" If the food you eat re-
mains undigested in your stomach it
decays there and poisons the system. You
can prevent this by dieting but that
means starvation. KodolDyspepsia Cure
digests what you eat. You need suffer
from neither dyspepsia nor starvation.

Settled Uniquely.

The contest in RappahannOck county
between Messrs. Geo. W. Settle and John
b. Miller for the honor of representing
their county in the next General Assem-
bly, was settled by the principals on Mon
day last. The plan OF settlement was
certainly a. most unique One-probably
original with the Democratic politicians
OF Rappahannock county. Fifteen or
dinary beans five black and ten
white ones were placed in a hat.
The rules of the drawing was
that Settle was to have two draws to
Mliller's one, which was an apparent ad-
vantage conceded to Settle by Miller, the
reason OF it we have been unable to learn
The party getting the lesser number OF
the black beans was to withdraw in
favor of the other The drawing was
had. and Settle, succeeding in obtaining
the larger number of black beans, won.
The people OF Rappahannock are to be
congratulated for having avoided what
promised to be a most bittercontest, and
the politicians Of Rappahannock are to
be congratulated for having designed and
evolved such an original and unique
method of amicably settling most yeI-
atious family row.
The day Of election was cold and dis
agreeable one ne-good weather for boots
and oyercoats therefore number OF
Rappahannock's sovereigns are to be
sympathized with on account OF the
peaceful way in which the contest was
settled.-Culpeper Exponent.
