State Board Of Agriculture.

Richmond, Va, Jan. S.-The State
Board of Agriculture was in session
here all day and adjourned to meet
again April 10th. After adjournment
the board in a body appeared before
the committee on agriculture OF the
Constitutional Convention and asked
that the new Constitution shall re-
uuire that the Department of Agrt-
culture shall be maintained and that
it shall be located at the State capl-
toll. as the most convenient point for
the farmers throughout the State.
All of the inspectors were reap
pointed, with the exception OF A y.
Sullivan, of the Sixth district, who
was not an applicant for the position
for another year. Mr.. W. w. Warde,
of Halifax, was appointed inspector
of the Sixth district.
The board adopted a resolution
asking of the Legislature all appro~
priation sufficient to employ an eX'
pert veterinarian, whose work is to
be connected with that of the Depart
ure of Agriculture. The step taken
bv the board means much, not only
to the stockmen of the State, but to
every farmer who has horse, COW
or pig. If veterinarian is connect
ed with the Department OF Agricul-
ture, his services will be at the com
mand of every farmer in the State
and not only will he give advice
through correspondence, but in
every case when necessary will 90
upon the ground and personally con-
duct the treatment OF the animals.
The board expressed itself rs heart
lily 10 favor of an appropriation being
made to worthily represent the vast
resources of Virginia at the st. Louis
exposition.
The body adopted the following
resolution:
Resolved: That the State Board
of Agriculture expresses its endorse
ment of the expression OF Governor
Montague in his inaugural address
as to the great need in the improve
ment of the public roads of the State,
and will be glad to render any assis-
lance in their power to promote THIS
important work of Improvement
Virginisn-Pilot.

The question of next United States
Senator for Maryland was settled
Wednesday at Democratic caucus
of the Legislature by the unanimous
and enthusiastic selection of Hon
Arthur P. German for the position.
No other pane was mentioned in the
caucus and the members doubtless
voiced by their action the sentiment
of the great body of Democrats of
Maryland.
The result is as gratifying to Vir-
ginians as it Is to the people of Mary
land and they have reason to join in
the rejoicing, when they remember
the services he rendered not only to
them but to the whole South in the
days of the attempted passage of the
Ubiquitous force bill. With the
Democratic party again in power I'M
der the leadership Of Mr.. German, it
is safe to predict, that the State OF
Maryland will soon be represented in
the United States Senate by another
Democratic statesman, and resume
her place in the list of Democratic
States no longer regarded as doubt
full.

"Some time ago my daughter
caught a severe cold She complain
ed of pains in her chest and had a
bad cough. gave her Chambsrlain's
Cough Remedy according to direct
ions and in two days she was well
and able to go to school. l have used
this remedy in my family for the
past seven years and have never
known it to fall" says James Prem
dergast, merchant, Annato Bay,
Jamaica, West India Islands. The
pains in the chest indicated an APP
preaching attack of pneumonia,
which in this instance was undoubt-
eddy warded off by Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t counteracts any
tendency of cold toward pneumo =

SATURDAY, JANUARY ii, 1902.
Entered at the Postoffice at Accomac Q. H..
Va, as second-class matter.

The Enterprise did not favor the
calling of Constitutional Conven-
tion and still believes it could have
been postponed without detriment
to the best interests OF the people OF
the State, but now that we have it,
we fail to see the reason for the way
it is being abused by many of our
contemporaries throughout the State,
notably many of those, which were
loudest IN their demand for it.
We cannot concur in their criti-
cisms of that body, because we be
Iieve it is composed of as able and
patriotic men as have ever assembled
in the State for similar purpose,
has not consumed more time than
other conventions have, and has
questions before it more difficult of
solution than any previous conven'
ton has ever had.
That the men composing that body
are men of ability and integrity, so
far as we know has never been ques-
toned, and surely they cannot be
accused of wanting to prolong the
session because OF any pecuuiary
benefit they are deriving from it, as
there are but few men in that body
who could not make three or four
times as much in some other way.
The fact that conventions heretofore
held in the State have lasted from
81 to 81 months, in Pennsylvania
have been prolonged to II months
and in Kentucky to IS months, dis
poses of the senseless clamor in re-
gard to time. That there are Difficult
ties in the way of framing suffrage
plan such as never existed before, we
need only to have to be reminded OF
the obstacles presented by the 14th
and 18th amendments to the Consti
tuition of the United States.
Then why find fault with that body
or it's representatives, when 1t has
been in session only about months
Should there be haste in framing
laws for US under which we must live
for so years or longer9 Do the people
want them to quit the work fol
which they were called before it ii
completed?
There seems to be but one answer
to these questions and that is for the
people to say to their representatives
Ito go on" until they have compile
ted measures intended for their re-
lief and protection and they will say
go, we believe, unless they are misleC
by those who care less for their in
terests than they do for the interests
..a4e corporations of the BIC ta We
must not conclude because suffrage
plan has been almost agreed upor
that the work of the convention II
ended. The questions of taxation
and control of corporations yet re
main to be settled and it is not 6
waste of time or money for them t.
receive at the hands of the member
of our convention the consideration
which their Importance demands l
it takes many more months for then
to complete the work.

A portion of the Eastern State
Hospital for the Insane. at Williams
bur-, was totally destroyed by fire
Saturday. The $50 patients were
safely removed from the building
The burned section of the asylum
was occupied as the demented ward.
By prompt and effective work the
hospital attaches, the students of
William and Mary College and the
citizens of the tow managed to res
cue the inmates. A few of the pa-
tients, however, escaped their keeps
ers in the excitement after having
been removed from the ward, and it
is thought that two were lost. The
total loss probably will reach $40, 900,
partially covered by insurance.
A dispatch from Lynchburg says:
State Senator Carter Glass returned
from Richmond on Saturday night
and had an interview with Senator
John w. Daniel In regard to the lat
ter's resignation as a member OF the
Virginia Constitutional Convention.
Before Mr. Glass interview Senator
Daniel had received a number of
personal letters from members of the
convention urging him not to insist
upon his resignation. Mr.. Glass
made such further representation
concerning the opinions and wishes
of the other members of the con
vention as to induce Senator Daniel
to reconsider his purpose to resign,
and he authorized his colleague to
withdraw from the hands of Presi-
dent Goode the resignation which he
sent by Mr.. Glass week ago.
