There Will lie. two sweeping innovations
- far as the country districts OF the
s,ate are concerned, should the new Con-
stitution now nearing completion be pro-
claimed or submitted and approved by the
aIeop:e. indeed one will become effective
without regard 10 the fate of the Consi-
tuition. 1t is the consolidation of spring
and fall elections in the counties of the
State. An amendment TO the present Con-
stltution, cmbody.ng this change, Was
adopted by the people 1t the election held
last fall. The other innovation is the
dong away with the old County Court
system, and the substitution OF the Cir
cult Court therefor.
These two changes will hardly be Dcpu-
lar at first. but IL is estimated that bo.i,
win result in good TO the people in the
end. III both cases the old system has
become almost traditional, and old citl-
zens in the rural districts will be loatn

fail of adoption, tho present County Court

the country people, will remain in force.
Not So however. with the election of
county officers. That matter has already
been i1rcvocably settled by the voice of
the people, and hereafter all county offic-
ers. including clerks, sheriffs, treasurcrs
constables, magistrates. commissioners of
the revenue supervisors. and in fact all,
from the highest TO the lowest, will be
chosen in the fan, when members of the
Legislature and other officers now chosen
in November are elected. The effect of
the amendment adopted last year will be
to lengthen the terms of the present dis
trict officers in the several counties and
instead of being elected iii May. 1908. and

respect IS a sweeping one, and will ap-
pear unnatural to the people for some 1T
tle time.
But while the change may apcar awk-
ward to some extent at first, 1t Is be-
iiercd 10y wise leaders that it is q step
in the way of reform and will eventually
result in good to the entire people. For
many years it has been apparent that Nlr-
einia was suffering from TOO much poll
tics. and the oft-recurring elections in the
judgment of many tended to paralrze
business and to rerard the progress of the
communities III which they occurred. 1t
is a well known fact that Cor several
years past. on account of the many adj
Gitional elections, growing out Of the Con-
siitutional Convention movement and
other matters with which the public is
familiar. the business interests of the
country have suffered. and a necessity for
reform in this line, steadily growing for
a number of years, has been greatly
strengthened. Out in the country districts
this seems especially true. as political
contest furnishes n tempting diversion to
the farmer. merchant and business man,
who IS altogether unused to the stirring
events that rccur almost daily in the busy
hun, Of city life.
The change in the judicial system q tie
State is going to be unpopular for :. while,
at least, should it finally prevail, but it
is believed by wise leaders that 1t is a
step in the right direction, and that even
the most ardent advocates Of the radl-
tional monthly County Court will come
to see the benefits of the change Some
of the happiest memories that flourish in
the rural districts are of events that have
taken place on County Court green, and
many are clinging to the system purely
as a matter of sentiment. 1t is here that
the greatest political speeches OF the age
have been made and that the aspirations
of local leaders have hcen Gratiied or
blasted From the most remote portions
of the counties men ride and walk to
their courthouses for social, business ana
political intercourse, and the county
Court green has for many years been the
very hub of the county from every point
Of view. If the present Constitution Snail
be submitted, it is not unlikely that many
votes will be cast against on account OF
the judicial changes proposed.

MORE OFFICERS NEEDED.
Admiral Taylor, in His Annual Re-
port, Strongly Emphasizes
This Fact.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE most
crying need of the navy according to
the annual report of Admiral H. C..
Taylor, chief of the bureau of naviga-
ton, is more officers to man our war
ships. He declares that the prepara-
lions now going on for the mobiliza-
ton of the fleet for the winter
maneuvers in the West Indies has
brought the department face to face
with the critical condition due to
lack of officers, which, he says, has
reached such point as to be dan
gerous to the efficiency of the fleet.
He says that the number of officers
ON our ships is less than the number
en- board the ships of other navies al
though, as matter of fact, our ships
require more officers than the ships
of other navies because we are COM
PEELED to man our vessels with green
crews, having little or no knowledge
of sea life. He submits a table
showing that the present needs of
the naval service require 1000 officers,
while the number on the navy list,
including midshipmen after gradua-
ton, is only 1,O23, or SIT short. This
table is based upon the lowest posi-
BILE number of officers needed on our
battleships, II, against an average
number of officers for similar ships
in foreign navies of 33 in England, &c
in France and 20 in Germany.

ACQUITTED.
Jury Returns Verdict of Mott Guilty
in Famous MOlineux MUIR
der CNHe.

New York, Nov. 12.-Roland B. Mol
ineuN was set at liberty Tuesday
after spending nearly four years in
prison and being once condemned to
death and twice placed on trial for
his life for the murder of Mrs. Kath-
arine j. Adams. But 10 minutes suf-
feed for the jury to reach verdict
OF acquittal at the close of trial
that has lasted four weeks, the first
trial, which resulted in MolineuX's
conviction and sentence having been
prolonged for about three months.
The verdict which was confidently
anticipated, was greeted with an in
stantly suppressed outbreak of APP
plause, Justice Lambert having de-
livered stern admonition that no
demonstration would be permitted.
Molineux, who was brought into
court as soon as it was known that
the jury had agreed, was apparently
as unconcerned as he has been
throughout the trial, and gave no
evidence of emotion when the words
that established his innocence were
pronounced. His aged father, Gen.
Molineux, was deeply affected, and
could with difficulty respond to the
greetings of friends who pressed
forward to offer their congratula-
tons. Immediately after the rem
dering of the verdict the prisoner
was formally discharged from GUS
tody, and left the court room with
his father and counsel. In passing
out of the building the three were
cheered by a great crowd that gath
cred in anticipation of the acquittal.
After removing his effects from the
| Tombs Molincux went to his fathers
home in Brooklyn, where he was
again cheered by large crowd.

prohibiting the sale of beer, is desired
and urged by the great majority of Of
ficers and men, and by none more than
