THE LEGISLATURES.
Some Doings i'm That Body. -
journs Till November.

Both houses Of the Legislature
adjourned Monday until November
18th.
The body refused to create a COM
mlttee for the purpose of conform
ing the laws to the new Constitu-
ton.
Delegate McPeak Republican,,
who refused to take the oath under
the new Constitution, rendered his
resignation, which was accepted.
The Legislature passed an emer-
gency bill creating qualifications for
Jurors, so that jury trials can now
proceed without doubt as to legality.
Mr.. Moon called up the bill pro-
hibitjng the sale of cider within
one mile of Appomattox Courthouse.
The bill WAS taken up out of the
regular order aud passed.
A bill was introduced by Mr.. O..
c. Baker authorizing the Board of
Fisheries to examine certain oyster
lands in Northumberland county, to
tind if they are barren and depleted.
"The new Constitution makes the
minimum age seven years for child
to enter the public schools; but, a
pupil now enrolled, cannot be kept
out, even if he or she is under seven
years." says the Attorney General.
Under the new Constitution all
measures now have to go before
committees aud must be reported
under the new Constitution. They
have to be read in full three times
in each branch of the Legislature
aud passed by recorded vote.
A bill has been introduced in the
Virginia Legislature making it a
misdemeanor for any liquor dealer
to sell stimulants to man after
the latter's wife has notified him
that her husband is drunkard.
Should this bill be passed it will be
bombshell to numbers whose long
suffering wives now have no redress
when their husbands persist in spend
ing most of their wages in liquor
alexandria Gazette.
The Judiciary Committee of the
State Senate, Mr.. McIlwaine chair
man, reports that free pass is one
that is given without legal considera-
ton; that "pass founded upon
contract for valuable legal consldera-
ton is not free pass, and in such
case there is no prohibition or pen
atty affecting either party to the
transaction" That view of the case
seems not unreasonable; but it is not
the one which is held by the Attor-
ney-General. The question will have
to be adjudicated before the Office
holder will feel safe.

SOME LAWS IN A TANGLE

1t will be a long time before the
courts and people of the State settle
down and get acquainted with the
workings of the new Constitution.
The trial of cases in two Circuit
courts at Winchester were stopped
suddenly last week by the discovery
that the judge was presiding in an
illegal manner. The regular Judge,
Judge Il. w. Harrison, was inter
ested in both cases and heretofore it
has been customary in such event to
call In judge from an adjacent cir
cult to try the case in hand. Judge
L. X. b. Wright, of Essex, was asked,
aad after the Berryville case was
begun it was fonnd that the new
Constitution requires the Governor
to appoint judge when the presd-
ing judge could not ofiiciate. None
of the lawyers knew of this.
The interesting question as to
whether there are any qualified iur-
ors in the State of Virginia as the
present time since the going into
effect of the new Constitution, which
has been occupying the attention of
various courts in Virginia during
the past ten days, was brought up
before Judge George w. Morris in
Charlottesville.
Judge Morris decided that all who
are qualified to act as jurors under
the old Constitution are presumed
to continue qualified until a new
registration. lie was of the opinion
that the Constitutional Conyen ton
never intended to create gap, dur
ing which justice could not be ad
ministered. He held that registra-
ton as a voter was not prerequisite
qualification to jury service, but that
any one having right to register,
whether registered or not, was a |
qualified juror. Registry. the Judge
said, is only method of judicially |
ascertaining the qualifications of |
voter; it is not a qualification in it
self. Under these circumstances the
court held that all who are now reg
istered and entitled to vote should be
presumed to continue as qualified,
and consequently are qualified, as
jurors until a new registry is had,
and the contrary developed by such
registry.
The Legislature has since relieved
the situation by an emergency bill.

OUR PRIMARY PLAN.

The people of the State generally
have become disguised with the
primary plan as it is working in the
nominations for Congressman. This
is in accordance with what we pre-
dicted some months ago, though we
did not think 1T would come so soon
or so unanimously. there is more
trouble-and, in consequence, more
disgust-to follow when the Second
and Sixth Districts are heard from.
in each of which there are three
candidates for Congress. Should
the winning man not receive a major
ity of the entire vote cast it is hardly
probable. that the friends of the

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ANDERSON
who seems disposed to make a broad
sweep in his construction of new
Constitutional provisions, gives it
as his opinion that a notary public
cannot hold that Office and accept
passes from transportation companies,
even though he give valuable con-
slderation in return. The Judiciary
Committee of the Legislature, and
ex-Speaker Pollard, with other noted
lawyers, dissent from Major Ander-
sons opinion and say that the words
"free pass" in the Constitution
means transportation given without
tangible return. The courts VIII
later have to decide the matter. In
the meantime, we will hold with
those adverse to the Attorney
General, hold on to our notarv's
commission (unless sooner ousted by
the Governor) and hold on to our
so-called free transportion-the same
being in payment for schedule adj
vertising.

1T is stated that the highest bid
at the recent sale of Goverhmen
transport, which cost nearly seven
hundred thousand dollars two years
ago during the Spanish merican
war, was only $4,000. This is a
fair sample of how Government
property is sacrificed and how men in
various lines of business are on the
watch to snap up bargains from the
Government. When the cost of the
Spanish war and our scrap with the
Filipinos are summed up it is hardly
probable that the Administration
will figure in the difference between
S51, 900 and 100000 on the debit
side of the sheet.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR BOYS.

In the annex of Meigs & Go. $ store, there are opportunities in piles for boys of all ages. Every mother of a boy ought to investigate these oppor- tunities. They are the best bargains in boys clothes Meigs & Co. have ever offered. Sharp reductions in prices of all boys and children'S s suits bring this firm $ enormous stock within reach of economical buyers. This week, to the splendid offerings in medium-weight suits, Meigs & Co. add wash suits at greatly reduced prices. Everybody knows how backward the season has been. It has had it's effect in restrict ing the sale of strictly summer goods, and the offerings in wash suits Meigs & Go. present are almost as complete in variety and quantity as at the begin ming of the season. Mothers of boys are invited to inspect the bargains in the Annex. The wonderful offerings in mems suits which have made Meigs & Co.'S Mid-Season Sale famous in Bridgeport and roundabout, have been increased by the addition of all thin summer wearables on which prices have been greatly thinned. Any man who attends this great sale may be certain of getting what he wants in the way of d suit. and for much less than it's worth. Everything Meigs & Go. sell is backed by their guarantee for quality. Every suit they sell bears their label which is a warrant Ofquali- ty and an assurance that if for any reason the purchaser is dissatisfied he may have his money back without question,

Not every one has the chance to travel, but the next best thing to trav- cling much is to have others travel for you; and if others travel for you, you
 want them to select the points of greatest interest, for you can hardly see everything. Two places of greater
 interest, in this country at least, could
 hardly be found than Mount Vernon and the Congressional Library at
 Washington. The first is one of the
 finest of the old Colonial mansions and of course possesses unfailing inter- est as the home of our first President;
 the second is the most beautiful build ing in this country and the finest civic building in the world. To see these views is almost ds good as seeing these places themselves. The lecturer is Miss Bassett Wooster of Washington, D. o.; the date is Tuesday evening, August 18th at 8 o'clock; the place is the Congregational church; and the proceeds are to go toward the support of the Gospel wagon, than which a more worthy object could scarcely be thought of.
