SCOTS Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in

that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter,
loose joints grow stronger and

and work for the proclamation of the

A telegram was received from Dele
gate Carter Glass. Of Lynchburg. re-
GREETING that he was unable to be pres
eut and expressing the hope that ~.

In no uncertain tons on this question"
We are not surprised at the action Of
the Abemarle meeting. Mr.. Withers
told the people what a fne Constitution
the convention has framed and wherever
the people thoroughly understand it.,
they are IN favor OF putting it into ef
feet, as speedily as possible. and in the
simplest and surest manner.
They do not care to take chances be-
cause they are afraid that If tho Con-
stttuton Is submitted an effort will be
made on the part OF the CORPORATE tons
and some OF the office-holders to de-
feat II.
We do not believe that such an effort
would DO made, but the people believe,
or fear 1t, and the more talk there IS
from certain sources about submitting"
the more are the fears Of the people
aroused.
It Is intimated that many people who
are In favor Of prociaining do not know
anything about the Constitution and are
accepting it on blind faith. The people
know that the new Constitution gives
them better court system. gives them
corporation commission, gives them 4
better school system, gives them re-
duchon in expenses and an increase IN
revenues, gives them q reduction CT 10
per cent. on the hundred dollars In
taxes, and these are enough to commend
the Constitution to their favor.
Z The people have made up their mind
that the Constitution shall be proclaim
ed and whenever the people make up
their minds on any public question, they
have their way.

The report of the tobacco inspector,
showing a substantial increase in the
sale of loose leaf tobacco on this mar
ket, is most encouraging. The tobacco
crop last year was short. but our ware
house men have been bestirring them
selves. and. consequently. farmers have
been shipping more tobacco to this mar
ket. There is now renewed effort to
bring more bright tobacco to Richmond
fresh from farmers hands, and we hope
that the effort will not be relaxed. RICH
mond is a fine market, and if the farm
ers once get into the habit of bringing
their tobacco here they will continue to
trade with us. 1t is trade that is well
worth cultivating, and no effort should
be left undone to develop it.

UNIVERSAL WILL
Have buyer. HERE
Said That it VIII Come on This
Market if Bright Trade is
Developed.

The Universal Tobacco Company. Of
New York, is prepared, it is understood,
to place a puyer on this market in the
event that the scheme to develop a large
bright trade here is carried out. a gen
tlemen connected with this company is
the authority for the statement that the
Universal will in all probability adopt
such plan.
With the leaf headquarters of the
American Tobacco Company and the
main establishment Of the Imperial To-
bacco Company, connected with the
buyer Of the Universal and the various
independent concerns here, Richmond
should present an opportunity for large
dealing In bright tobacco next season.
That this trade will in reality be deFei-
oped car hardly be doubted. Farmers
in certain sections of the State which
have been visited by Richmond ware
house men appear disposed to send thelE
tobacco here.
The Board OF Directors Of the Rich
mond Tobacco Trade has been called 10
meet to-day In special> session to take
action in the matter Of appointing dele
gates to the West India Convention, 10
be held at the Charleston Exposition this
month.
Considerable interest is taken by to
bacco men in the report of the Inspector
for the local season just closed. The re-
mort is significant of several things. and
in two or three instances contains sur
priSeS.
The report OF the tobacco inspector tor
the loose season just closed is somewhat
surprising, and is of no little signlhcance
to tobacco men. It indicates clearly thdt
the Richmond market has made a very
considerable stride forward, and that II
things turn out well the old town ousht
to do fine things next season.
The entire receipts of loose tobacco
since the beginning of the season last
October UP to April Goth of this year
amounted to 6,746,S24 pounds. During the
month of April S07,66O pounds were solo.
With one exception. the sales of the sea-
son, to the surprise Of many, were larger
than for the past seven years. This does
not so clearly indicate that the crop itself
was larger as that the field of operations
was extended during the year. If this
new bright scheme is carried out, next
season will see an addition of three or
four million pounds of bright tobacco,
which added to the other. would foot up
a great total of 100000 or 11.QcO 600
pounds during the year. A comparative
statement IF the past seasons work and
that Of the seasons preceding is as fol-
lows: 1902. 6,746,s24 pounds; 1901. 5,24s 460

State Street, every one of which was
destroyed. He had already commenced
the construction of the Palmer House

losses were heavy, but he had faith in
