The good roads movement has
come TO stay-and to effect some
thing. At the recent State meeting
Senator Daniel made a fine address
along the line of good roads. An
other convention will be held in
Richpond on the 2lst and 22nd of
March. 1t promises to be an event
of the deepest interest to all who are
interested in this subject and that
should include all the people of
Virginia. The railroads have made
a special rate for the occasion of one
fare for the round trip. The famous
Southern Road "Good Roads" train
will be there for week and will give
practical illustration by actual work
on section or road of the latest and
most scientific method of building.
A number of speakers of national
repute will attend, and altogether the
affair will be so interesting and in
structive that all public-spirited
citizens of the State should make an
effort to attend.

ONE of the most ludicrous phases
of political life is now Transporting.
Senator Mark Hanna, the avowed
champion of trusts and the protector
OF boodlers, is hob-nobbing with the
labor element. He has launched
q movement to create closer iEti-
macy and better understanding
between capital and labor-a most
bene6cent movement, it is true-and
with that reputed end in view is
ingratiating himself with the labor
ing men and their unions. Quizzical
people see in this a shrewd move in
Mr.. Hanna to further his presidential
aspirations. Il is not unsafe to pre-
dict that the man who holds the
money people in his hand will be
posing as the champion labor candi-
date in 1904.

A Prohibition paper published at DAN
vile, called the No-License advocate, in
speaking of the defeat of the so-called
Barbour-Quarles anti-liquor ordinance,
says:
The method of fighting within the
party ranks has again proven futile. The
good people said to the politicians, 1--WE
want this bill put in the Constitution,
but whether we get it or not we are still
Democrats" A few liquor men said In
effect, IF this thing is put in the Con-
stitution of Virginia, we, the liquor men
of the State, will throw our vote and In.
huence with the Republican party"
This is one OF the most serious charges
that we have seen against the Constitu-
tional Convention, and we demand the
proof.-Richmond Times.
Such things, though true, are
sometimes hard to prove. In lihe
with this assertion, however, it is a
fact that whiskey Democrats in this
county have labored and voted for a
whiskey Republican against a tenn
perance Democrat. This is their
record and reputation here-whiskey
affiliations bind tighter than party
or country's veal.

few years, and while the people call
for penitentiary reform they would
be glad to see it accomplished with
out having to appropriate large
sums from the public treasury.
