THE CLARKE COURIER has been
sold TO Messrs Hughes and Ricamore.
With this issue we bid farewell To
our readers, advertisers, friends, and
exchanges. The fraternity will suf
fer no loss by our retirement from
its domain. We have been a tres
passer pure and simple. When We
took charge, we frankly admitted
our inexperience, explained that we
held the paper for client,and would
operate 1t IS an attorney, until We
could make proper sale, and acting
in that capacity would throw our
selves upon the charity of the news
paper world.
Our years work has been a pleas
ure TO us. We can not hope to meet
with a more splendid set of business
men than we have found in charge
Of the Virginia Press. Intelligent,
clean, fearless, hardworking, progress.
sive and aggressive are the adjectives
that must be applied In their broad
est sense to give an account of this
patriotic and unselfsh set of citizens
and then the description would be
inadequate.
To our readers everywhere, We re-
turin our thanks for their uniform
kindness, and the same gratitud,
goes out to our advertisers. Aud we
hope our successors will maintain
the prestige the COURIER attained il
the hands Of the late Capt. VIM. n
Nelson, and the lamented John o
Grown. Try as we would, our feeble
hands were unequal to the task.

Of the. public. The. senior. member

served prs seutirevhfe in the news
paPs:S. ,6ssi1tess Beginning as
priater's devil, he has occupied every
position connected with a publishing
and iobbing plant. He made his
first acquaintance with The CLARKE
COURIER one year ago, when he
filed the position of foreman for
several months, and resigned to
accept more profitable position with
the Eddy Press of Winchester.
Having found out by personal
experience aud observation, that the
plant was profitable enterprise, Mr..
Hughes formed a partnership with
Mr.. Ricamore and bought cut the
present management.
Mr.. Z. @. Ricamore, the junior
member of the firm, is citizen
of Clarke county, and is well aud

GOOde on WiSe'S Attack.

Hon. John Goode, president of the
Virginia Constitutional Convention,
who has been visiting in Norfolk,
when asked what would be the re-
suit of the attack by John S.Wise on
the suffrage clause of the Constitu.
ton, said:
at will be futile, sir; absolutely
futile. That instrument was drawn
with an eye single for justice to all
aud the upbuilding of this old State.
IL is as constitutional as any docu-
nent that has ever emenated from
human minds. That much talked of
suffrage clause was drawn with but
one object in view-that of purifying
the ballot in Virginia without dis
eliminating against any race, class
or condition. Every citizen who
meets its requirements is entitled t.
the right of suffrage, be he white oil
black.
al happen to know something Of
how the suffrage clause of the Con
sntution Was drawn. Never did mer
work more arduously or more con
scientiously. 1t was discussed in
regular committee, and we would
meet privately at night and go into
further details. Finally, it wa,
thoroughly argued and adopted BY
the Convention.
"The idea of DISTINGUISHING the
negro was not our object. We de,
sired Virginia to have a pure, intel
ligent, and honest electorate. The
instrument will really benefit the
negro, as in his efforts to meet it's re.
quirements he will elevate himself
"But what of Mr.. Wise?" was
asked.

the other day." he said, "and it might
apply in this case. My friend said
the weakest man / ever knew wa:
named Strong; the shortest wa,
named Long,, and might add thai
the most foolish is named Wise.

THE CODE REVISION.
Competent Men at Work Under
Bill introduced BY Mr.. Smith.

The Richmond Dispatch of Sun
day, the 2Sth inst, says
"Mr. John Garland Pollard and
Mr.. Jacob n. Brenxman are now
hard at work on the contract re
Gently awarded them by the joint
tinance committee of the two houses
in connection with the work of re-
codifying the statutes of the State.
The work to be done by these gen
tlemen is that authorized by the
act recently passed. appropristing
$500 to facilitate and expedite work
of code revision. 1t is, in u sense,
revision, and is no small task,
and one we'll worth the sum to be
expended. In fact, the State will
save money under the arrangement
affected, for if the work were not
referred to some such commission
by contract, it would have to be
done by the two houses or by the
committees thereof, and both bodies
would have to sit while it was being
done.
"Mr Pollard and Mr.. Br-naman
will cut copies of the Code of 1887
into sections and paste them on
paper, leaving wide margin for
amendments, aud cutting out all of
the repealed statutes and substitute
ing in lien thereof those passed to
supersede them Wherever changes
in the present statutes have become
necessary as a result of the changed
Constitution, places will be left to
insert them in these pasted pages.
The two gentlemen will, in effect,
bring the Code up to the December
session of 1902, with the statutes
arranged in their proper sequence,
leaving only the new statues to be
drawn at the present session to lie
inserted. There is vast amount
Of Legislation not smendatory of,
out supplementary to, the Code of
1887, which must be inserted. This
amounts to between 700 and 500
pages. 1t must be cut, classified
A-d placed in its proper place and
sequence.
This work is practically just
what the General Assembly several
times refused, after spirited debates,
TO refer TO a commission or even to
joint committee of the two
houses. 1t is far cheaper than the
work could otherwise be done, and
It is doubtful if two more compe-
tent men could have been secured
to do the work.
The bill proposing the sppro-
priatIon for this purpose was drawn
and offered by Mr.. r. S. Blackburn
Smith, of Clarke, who, foreseeing
he economy of such procedure,
deemed it best to recommend the
small expenditure. rather than sub
Iect the State to one very much
larger for work that must be done. E"
