REBATE OF ROAD TAXES.
To Encourage the Planting of
Shade Trees.

There is in the distance, but ev-
identity coming, the further rec
ognition by the State of the fact
that in it's own protection it must
have large acres of timber, and
that it may find IL wise economy
10 encourage the individual, by
bounties, to produce this needed
crop for it, Every legislature in
the past decade has passed some
law to encourage the preservation
md growth of forest and shade
trees.
A law approved by Gov. Stone
on the End day of July A. d. 1901
provides, among other things,
that any person liable to road tax
who shall transplant to the side
of the public highway on his own
premises any fruit, shade, or for
est trees, of suitable size shall be
allowed by the supervisor of
roads, or boards of supervisors of
roads, when roads run through
or adjoin cultivated fields, in
abatement of his road tax, one
dollar for every two trees set out;
but no row of elms shall be placed
nearer than 20 feet no row of
naples or other forest trees near
er than 80 feet, except locust and
Carolina poplar, which may be set
thirty feet apart, and, except
fruit trees which may be set 40
feet apart and no allowance as
mentioned shall be made unless
the trees set out the year pre-
vious to the demand for such re.
bate.
The rebate is allowed for fruit,
shade or forest trees growing
naturally by the side of the pub
lie highway, where said public
highway runs through cultivated
lands.
Section four of the above act
limits the rebate to one-quarter
of the taxpayers annual road tax.

Admiral Schley's appeal to the
President from he fiudiugs of the
Court OF Inquiry, asking him to APP
prove Admiral Dewey's opinion and
set aside the opinion of the majority
OF the Court, was published Wednes-
day by Secretary Long Three
fourths of the appeal is given to the
argument, citations and testimony
taken by the Court of Inquiry il
support of the contention that
Schley, not Sampson, commanded
the force which destroyed Civera's
fleet.
The decision of the President of
course will be looked for with in
terest, but no one. not under the con-
troll of the naval clique, will doubt
what it ought to be, or will not
say, that if he should decide that
Schley was hot in command at San
tiago and entitled to the glory as
ccmuuduQeT lOT Tie SIcdG NlObOi y =
that he has too much Of the venom
and littleDess of those surrounding
him to be the President Of a great
country. His fame will suffer more
by an adverse decision than
will that of Admiral Schley.
The people of the country, regard
less of their political opinions, know
to whom the credit of the victory of
Santiago Is due and are willing to
give it to him, and the truth of his
tory cannot be so perverted by the
MscClays, employed by the naval
clique to rob him OF it, that his fame
will not be secure in the hands of
future generations, even if the Presi
dent should decide against the claims
OF Admiral Schley.

The comforting assurance is given
us by J. Pierpont Morgan, the great
fpancier, that good times are ahead
of us and will be for long time to
come. Prosperity is not only here,
but in his opinion "all the signs, all
the promises, all the indications are
that it is with us to stay" He secuted
the idea of turn in the tide pre-
dicted by some Wall street men by
saying: II have absolute faith in
the future. AS to recessions, as to
set-backs, where is there a sign of
anything discouraging? There is
enough business already in hand to
keep the country busy for a year to
come" Mr.. Morgan may be mis-.
taken, but it is gratifying to have
one, who is capable of doing so much
towards making good times, ITO put
himself upon record as firm be-
lever in their continuance.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1902
Entered at the PostOffice at Aocomac Z. II
Va, as second-class matter.

Many of our contemporaries are
unsparing in their criticism OF our
Constitutional Convention and some
even go so far as to say, "that they
are unable to discover one single
commendable step taken by thai
body" Accepting their statements
as correct the conclusion is inevtta
BILE, that a great mistake was made 10
the selection of the members of the
Convention and it may be that the
mistake was, in not committing the
work of that body to the newspaper
men of the State. II is possible,
though, that some of them are too
much blinded by their love for cor
porations to appreciate the labors OF
the Convention in the interest OF the
people, or comprehend so poorly the
work of our Constitution makers
that they cannot do them justice, or
do not approve because they prefer
to be with the crowd with whom it Is
fashion to throw stones at the con
vention. But whatever the cause for
the criticism which is being INDUCED
in, we decline at least for the present
TO change our opinion, that the work
of framing new organic law Is III
the hands of many OF the very best
men of the State, and that satisiac-
tory results may yet be expected OF
them. If disposed to throw stones
at the body we could not,i the light
of the statement already made and
not disputed, so far as we know, that
the work of the Convention to date
will result in the saving OF 100000 10
the State annually, and our contem
poraries must be blind TO the truth
if they cannot see in these figures
that some "cOmmendable steps
have been taken by the Convention,
anu that is their duty to revise their
opinions aud give the members the
credit which is due to them.
