SIX MONTHS SESSION.
Legislature convenes Next Week in Adjourn
ed Extraordinary Session.
(Rlohmond Dispatch.)

\hionmOhd DISPATCH
The Generrl Assembly OF Virginia
will convene in adjourned extraordina-
ny session at the Capitol on Wednes-
day, November 18th. at noon. The ses-
sion is held i'm obedience TO the call of
the late Constitutional Convention, and
is made necessary by the proclamation
of a new organic law for the State.
Usually but one session OF each Gener-
al Assembly is held during the two
years OF its life, but already there have
been two sessions, and the third will
continue far into next year.
There will be few changes in the
personnel of the body, owing to the
probable election of Democrat to sue
ceed Mr.. ]. NJ. McPeak, of Carol coun-
ty, Mr.. Don p. HaIsey, one of the we'll
known younger members OF the bar,
will succeed Senator Carter Glass as
the member of the upper house from
Lynchburg and Campbell. A Democrat
will be returned to succeed Captain
c. Gent, member OF the House from
Russell county who recently resigned.
Whether any of the members who
declined 10 take the oath at the short
summer session will be excluded or not
remains TO be seen. At the late sum
mer session Speaker Bryan, of the
House, announced that he would pro-
ceed slowly in enforcing the constitu-
tional inhibition against the service in
that body of any who had not taken
the oath to support the new Constitu-
tion. Several Republicans took the
oath with certain specified reservations.
1t is probable that all those who have
not done so will subscribe to it without
qualification, If not, there may be n
dramatic scene in the House.
So far as can be ascertained in ad-
vance the session is going TO be quiet
and busy one devoid OF the sensation
1t is impossible to foresee what meas
uIes may be proposed, however, that
may arouse great feeling. The bulk of
the work to be done is of a laborious
nature, likely to be disposed of largely
in committees.

Both IN One Grave

The home OF Jno. w. Gillespie, on
Cavatts Creek was scene, on yester-
day, OF unutterable sadness. He bur
ried two Of his children at the same
time and in one grave, daughter thir-
teen and little boy OF seven years OF
age.
The daughter was taken sick on
Sunday and died on Tuesday, the little
boy on Tuesday and died on Wednes
day. The cause of death is said to
have been spinal meningitis, of an ag-
gravated type
On Wednesday, Rev. Messrs Glenn
and Taylor went to the home TO con-
duct the burial service Of the daughter
but when they arrived they found the
little boy dead, and the funeral services
were postponed until yesterday in or
der that both should be held at once,
which was done on yesterday by Rev.
Mr. Gilmore.
The solemn and sad service was at
tended by large number of sympha-
thizing friends. The parents are heart
broken.

ckness, but "A letter from his home SAYS
he Is not there. His clothes and some

on the registration book, but it was
known to the canvsssers that at least
three registered voters did not vote.
Investigation showed that the Judg-

list contained names Of all parties

DOuOle-Oyed knavery.

"Skim- milk masqueradss as cream,
Things are seldom what they seem.n
The poet might have added that
olive oil is expressed from the seed
OF the cotton plant, aud that smear
ed on small herrings the joint pto-
duct becomes sardines, that the orange
marmaled of commerce comes from
the humble turnip; that the cherry
which adorns your cocktails grows
on the hoof of the calf, and SO on ad
infinitum, al nauseam,
Only not SO much SO as formerly.
Most of the states have laws against
adulteration which are vigorously en-
forced.
But there are no laws against sub
stitution. and this is the age of sub
IstitutiOn, the day of parasitism and
piracy n businvss-and il might be
add ii, in politics. The statesmen
who promises hls henchman GER
tain appointment, cor something
equally good"-and usually gives
him the latter-is a substitutor who
plays the game of keeping the word
OF promise the ear and break ing
At to the hope as cunningly as the en-
terprising maker initiates the name
OF the popular cicycls or the gentle
scoundrel who palms off n cheap drug
for a. costly one. One half of the bust
ness world liyes on the brains OF
the other half. The most familiar
motto of the advertiser has to be-:
Beware of limitations" For til
one man who has an idea, and the
courage and the capitol to exploit il,
there are nine men waiting to steal
1t from him. Eyen literature has it's
parasites. Let novel or play
make popular HIT. and within a
month n dozen publishers are mana
gers have palpable limitations on the
market.
This is the meancst phase of hu-
man nature. The substitutor is IA
doubledyed knave, for he steals not
only the perse, but the good name of
his victim. The Just-as- good kink
OF merchandise is never so good AZ
the original, for il il wore, il could
be sold on it's merits. And the moan
est kind of substitution is that which
prevails in the drug trade. This is
simply trifling with human life.
Most OF the proprietary remedies
are of value m the treatment of the
ailments which they are advertised
TO cure. They could not have sue
ceeded without merit. Advertising
can do much, but il cannot make
the epnbiic buya poor article moro
than once or twice. Tho substitutor
being thief at heart, and having
already stolen the good name OF the
producer, sees no reason why he
should keep faith with the con.
sumer. He tells him that "thl.
is just as good" as the advertised ar
ticle, and then deliberately gives
him some preparation which will no
cure and may injure, because ther,
is more money in the transaction 70
the heartless substitutor.
There should be laws in every stat,
against substitution, and they should
oe enforced as rigidly as are tn,
laws against adulteration and in
fringment of patent right.-Ex.

HENRY M. SMITH. peace with all man
kind, and their fellow fire fighters in
particular, has been noticeably changed
since the news became public that their
beloved chaplain, the Rev. W. P. Tay--
lor, Assistant Rector of st. Peters Epis-
copal church, had accepted unanimous
call to the rectorship of st. Paul's, East
Orange. Mr. Taylor the first and only
chaplain of the company, has endeared
himself to all. Always responding to
fire alarms, he was with his comrades in
times of danger as well as upon occasions
when 'off duty" he met with the men,
bers in social intercourse.
At recent meeting of the Indepen-
dents special committee was appointed
comprising Henry M. Smith, Eugene
Carrell and D. Farrand Sturgis. to whom
was delegated the procuring of keep
sake for Chaplain Taylor's new home.
A handsome mahogany framed Morris
chair, upholstered in blue silk plush was
selected, and accordingly a special meet
ing was called for last might, at which
Mr.. Taylor was asked to be present, just
to say goodbye" in an informal way.
A goodly number of 'actives' of the
company responded with Chief Much

panied by his son Henry, John A. Clifi
