,. This is an emergency act
under section fifty of the Coustitu-
ton.
3. This act shall be IN force
from It's passage.
This act was passed in order to
leaye no doubt as to the law relating
to Jurors. Alexandrians should reg
lister, and register at once. Good
citenship requires that man should
be Il voter. In military affairs a
Olunder is considered worse than
crime. Indifference upon the part of
our white people in having their
names placed Oh the registration
books is as bad, if not worse, than
blunder in war times. A man who
shirks duty as elector or juror has no
grounds for complaint when justice
miscarries, or incompency and dis
honesty dominate public matters.
Government is just what the people
make it, bad at times through the
Indifference of those who have most
at stake, when it should be made
clear and efficient by those same
citizens.-Alexandria Gazette.

Many persons still have an idea
that should they not register, they
disqualify themselves as Jurors, and
in this way escape jury duty. This
impression has been, or will be, SO It
is said, the cause for some of our citi-
zens declining to register. No one
need expect any such exemption for
any such reason. The law relating
to jurors approved July 2S, is as fol
lows:
1. BE it enacted by the General
Assembly of Virginia. that section
three thousand one hundred and
thirty nine of the Code of Virginia,
eighteen hundred and eighty seven,
in reference to the liability to serve as
jurors, be amended and re-enacted so

Once more we urge upon the voters
the importance of being registered at
this time. Aside from the Congress
sional election in November, which
should appeal to every good citizen,
those who register now are placed
uDon the permanent roll, and are
voters for the rest of their lives.
The requirements for registration are
much simpler than those which will
go into effect in 1904. At that time
very rigid educational test will be
applied to the applicant for registra-
ton and many who can now register
as soldiers or the sons of soldiers, or
as tax payers, or under the under
standing clause, will be unable to
comply with the law which goes into
effect in 1904.
The time to register is NOW, and
many who neglect this important
duty at this time will find 1t impossi-
to register under the provision of the
future registration law. The Progress.

precedes this article, headed Who
May Register
Don't trifle with this duty, but go
ahead aud do it. Your time is linn
ited; the sooner you act the better.
We reiterate the expression of our
regret that the making of new reg
istration list was not seized in every
section of the State for making roll
Of surviving veterans. But it is not
too late to make such "A roll.
Every man who Is entitled to vote
because he is d veteran should set up
that claim, and "N," or "Vet.," put
next to his name will be all the re-
cordiug that will be necessary.
Had the idea occurred sooner, the
new books might have been ruled so
us to give each Veterans name and
company and regiment; but even
now, in most cases , it is not too late
to put the "Net.," mark against the
names of those voters who claim
that proud title to citizenship.-The

HUNTERS HAIR STOOD UP.
The Cause Was Game In the Dark He
Wasn't Looking For.

The following tale comes from a
party of Philadelphia sportsmen. who
vOuch for its truthfulness. To get TO
their destination, which was one of
the numerous hunting camps dotting
the wooded region of Maine. they
were compelled after leaving the train
to rough it, the rest of the way, stop
ping over night at an old inn After
reaching the inn they stored their
blankets and cunning ACCOMPLISHMENTS
in an outside she'd
While the members Of the party
were inside being entertained by the
very jovial host an Italian with a
trained bear arrived, and, unknown
to the hunters, tied his travelling COM
panfon in the building where their
things were stored, while he sought
rest in the attic of the inn.
Later in the evening one of the party
was attacked by violent cramps, Just
as he was telling one of the big game
stories for which he was famous. II
so happened that one of the party
had a bottle of Jamaica ginger In a
coat which hung with the things out.
side, and he started out to get ii. A
few minutes later a very much fright
ened and disheveled man burst into
the room, heralded by loud cries for
help.
When able to talk coherently the
man informed his friends that upon
going to the shed he felt around in
the dark, and happened to feel what
appeared to be buffalo robe where
their things should have been.
Naturally, being in a hurry, he gave
it a vicious kick to get it out of the
way, and was more than surprised
to find it jump up, with a noise that
to him resembled thunder. What he
had taken for buffalo robe was Mr..
Bruin, who resented being disturbed
in his sleep. The animal succeeded
in giving the Philadelphia a good
scare. The stomach-ache was forgot
ten. and the joke was on the man
who just previous to meeting the bear
in the dark had been detailing what a
hero he had proved in the presence
of a pack of wolves.

One Cent Stores.

When the five and ten-cent stores
were established and proved a success
1t was supposed that the lowest limit
had been reached. But the one-cent
store has become an established insti
tuition. The New York Times thus
describes it:
1t might surprise the average per-
son to see the variety Of useful and
ornamental articles that can be sold
for cent The counters and win
dows of the one-cent stores are liter
ally packed with goods of every con-
celvable variety, and when neatly
spread out they make a rather tempt
ing display.
Huge signs are displayed on every
side announcing that every article
costs Just one cent. What a feast
to the boys with only a penny to
spend!
Pennies make the dollars, and
there is plenty of profit in the bust
ness" explained a salesgirl in one OF
the small stores. I'VE take in good
many thousand pennies every day, anc
our store is small and expenses light
After school hours we can't handle the
things fast enough to satisfy our little
customers.
THE chief thing is to get variety
of stock. We do this because manu-
facturers are catering more and more
to this small novelty trade. Thous-
ands of little novelties can be made
of wood and tin to sell at a cent each.
1t is becoming easier every year to get
more variety of stock, and consequent
ly 1t is easier to attract trade
