there were no business enterprises, save
two or three small truck farms, is today
a scene of hustle and activity. This new

tributary of the Rappahannock, from
Millenbeck, and about two and a half
miles from Weems. 1t has been chris

Need OF Ofncial Stepographers
in Virginia Courts.

Now that there are to be only
twenty-four circuit judges to trans
act the business formerly done by the
county and circuit courts, each cir
cult court should have an official
stenographer, his salary to be paid
by the cities and count ties in the cir
cult. In order TO succeed, one must
realize the fact that time is money.
We know Of no better place in which
to put this idea into effect than in
our courts. Think of business man
having to sit aud listen to long.
drawn out case, where the ATTORNEYS
have to copy all of the evidence.
Look at the citizens in attendance at
every term of our courts and you will
find much valuable time thrown away
for the lack of stenographer..
Some one will say we cannot afford
it. We contend it false economy
not to have court stenographer.
The manufacturer with a small plant
and not enough business to Justify
keeping book-keeper cannot afford
to employ a stenographer, but it
would be false economy aud most
unbusiness like course for the manu-
facturer with business enough to
justify large Office force not to have
a steDographer.
A court stenographer would be
the means of expediting business.
There should be as little delay in the
law as possible. While there has
been disposition on the part of some
people to belittle the work of the
county judges, the judge who fills
the circuit court bench under the
new Constitution will not have a soft
snap by any means. TO have to
handle all the civil and criminal
business will keep him busy. Having
stenographer he can get around the
circuit quicker and oftener and Keep
up his work better. All the argu-
ment is in favor of an official stenog-
rapher, and we trust the legislature
will consider this question at its next
session.-Northampt,on Times.
