practical working of the plan would be

MIR WITHERS SPECIFIES.
Mr. Withers moved to strike out from
the institutions those of William and
Mary and the Staunton Institution he
said William and Mary was not a State
institution. and if the convention placed
it on as such it put itself in an indefensi-
BILE position on account Of public prejudice
and passion.
The Deaf and Blind Institution did not
send out teachers for the public Tree
schools as did the other State institutions,
and the sentiment that put it on he list
was all right. but it was not business.
The vote was taken first on striking out

on three charges, and Oh a fourth charge
of stealing an oyercoat. The theft Of I'VE

against him later.
Foll1es is believed to be one OF the
smoothest swindlers the police have seen

of a hair straightener and hair grower

bottle. In this manner: with some liquid
which has the odor of citrate of mag
nesia, he is alleged to have swfndled an
army of negro women here, and finally
fell into, the tolls through a false repre-
sentation, which resulted in the 1nuIcting
of a negro. woman of So. On this charge
he got four months. followed by four
months on three other charges.
In 1896 1t was. at the time when the
great negro whirlwind. MA jor'' Taylor
