Stupor - Attempted Rash Act
Twenty three Years Ago.
Harry c. Price died at the station
house about half-past ten O'Clock last
night from the effects of laudanum
which he had swallowed with suicidal
intentions after having for the past few
DAYS told numbers of his acquaintance
of his purpose. He was discovered about
O'Clock, lying in the Methodist Pro-
testant Cemetery, west of this city. He
had evidently been under the effects of
the drug for some time, as he was then
i'm a comatose state, and all efforts to
resuscitate him proved unsuccessful
When Mr.. Price was found in the ceme-
terry it was at first thought he was dead.
A wagon was summoned by Officer Ar
rington and he was taken to the station
house. DIR. f. A German resorted to
every expedient to save his life but his
efforts were futile. Coroner W. k. Pur-

fifty years of age and unmarried. While
a Young man he was a clerk in the COM
mission house of HoOe q Wedderburn,
nj the foot of Prince street, and for years
afterwards was employed in the freight
Office of the Southern Railway in this
city. He also in spare moments was
contributor to the press, and his pro-
auctions were always relished, "a they
were generally of humorous VEIN lie
had his weak points, however, and con-
yivial tastes carried to excess at times
produced their natural effects. Without
employment, moneyless and neglected, he
bfooded over his state until he determined
to bring his life to close Onthe 23do

1t may be that 35-cent levy will
be sufficient to raise enough money to
pay the expenses of the schools during
the coming year. 1t will not, prob
ably. if the total assessment is no larg-
er this year than usual, but no one vet
knows what the total assessment will
he. The supervisors will determine
this by the number Of raises or changes
they make in the assessors books,
and then it can be ascertained what
per cent will be necessary for the
schools. The school levy is one of the
most important made, and should be
large enough, if possible, to meet all
d demands.

There is no occasion for the Demo
cratic papers becoming so excited ovez
the. statement that Senator N. 4.
Hanna says he is not a candidate for
the presidency. Senator Hanna may
not be a candidate, and yet might
accept the nomination. His state
ments, however, are simply to show
that he does not seek the nomina-
ton. Senator Hanna is one of the
greatest men OF the age-great in f.
nance, craftsmanship and politics He
is loyal to his country and the grow
ing Industries Of his country, aud is o
believer IN sound currency and a
strong army and navy. Enyious

harmless, but can't even be heard in

Only the brief length Of time that it
has been here Is responsible for the
suggestion OF our Fourth street con-
temporary that we start something in
the way Of street improvements. The
city has first-class street roller,
such as are used in most civilized com
munities, but the council has got it
shut up somewhere, probably mistak-
ing it for some voracious monster that
is liable to get loose and annihilate
the entire population. The city coun-
Gil for several years past has used bad
gravel that was dumped in prodigious
quantities on the streets at a shame
full cost, and one Of the first acts of
the present council was to set its seal
Of approval on the unrestrained liberty
of the town COW. We need an i'm
provement in our municipal officers
before we can get any improvement
in the streets.

The suffrage plan finally agreed on
by the Virginia Constitutional conven-
ton is one that practically eliminates
the negro vote, and provides that
voters shall pay poll tax Of $3.50;
shall be able to read or understand
when read to them the constitution
Of the state, and shall be able to make
application for the right to register
in their own handwriting in the
presence of the registrars. THE
understanding" clause is only to be
in effect until January 1, 1904. The
other features are permanent. Con-
federate soldiers and their sons are ex-
empt from the understanding and ap-
plication clauses. The defense Of this
would probably be that what suited
the majority ought to suit the minor
ity, and the above evidently suits the
majority. Yet terrific howl would
arise from that state along with sew
eral Just like it if an effort were made
to cut down their congressional repre-.
sentation, no matter how much the
majority in congress favored it.
Congress represents the majority, and
congress is Republican. People who

behind the plea that the majority
ought 70 rule should not forget theii
principles when they have occasion &c
criticise the acts of the Republican
party, which always represents the
majority.

The people are beginning to learn
that there is more in the election Of an
assessor than might be supposed.
They will probably be more exacting
Of the men they elect in the future.
On the competency and industry Of
the assessor depends the valuation Of
property, and on the valuation OF
property depends the rate the people
are taxed. Hence often on the asses
sor depends the amount Of taxes a
whole community has to pay.
