Friday. August IA. 1908.

THE most remarkable decision of
late comes from Judge Jno. w. G.
Blackstone, Of the Circuit Court of
Accomac. Judge Blackstone is
known as rabid anti-temperance
man and it is difficult to disassociate
In ones mind some of his rulings with
his personal inclination. His recent
ruling will hardly "hold water"-or
any other liquid, for that matter-if
carried to higher court Certainly it
will find no endorsement with the peo-
pie and press at large, and In this SEN
timent, by the way, lies the only hope
of execution of benefcent laws, more
particularly on the temperance line.
The Judge declares that a magis-
trate's residence in town consti-
tutes adequate police protection be-
cause he is q conservator of the
peace. On this the fredericksburg
Free Lance very tersely and sagely
comments as follows:
1t appears to us that il 1.-THE decis;on)
destroysthe effect of the Mann bill almost
entirely. II the residence of magistrate
can be declared sufficient protection he
cause he is a conservator of the peace. SO
could the residence of any other conser-
Vator OF the peace in town be consid-
cred proper police protection, and it is
true that the residence of n woman notary
IN town, although she is opposed to Ii
cense, might be the grounds upon which
liquor licenses could be granted. Conser-
vators OF the peace are numerous and
any one of them has a right to issue a
warrant and hear evidence in certain
cases, and there is scarcely a locality in
the State where the sale of liquor would
be profitable that the residence of a con-
servator of the peace could not be found
or conservator of the peace readily ap-
pointed. The following are conserva-
tors of the peace in Virginia: Every
Judge throughout the State, every Justice
oil peace, commissioner in chancery and
notary public.
The Washington correspondent of
the 1fmes-DiSpatch sends that paper
the following:
IL understand that a number OF women
are conservators OF the peace in Virginia. ~
SAID well known lawyer of this city to-
day. 1.-The State has women notaries
public, and the Code of Virginia empow-
ers notaries to issue warrants. / do not
believe it was intended that women
should have this power, but il seems they
have it. wonder il all the courts of the
state are going to hold with Judge J. w.
U. Blackstone, of the Accomac Circuit
Court, that the residence OF n magistrate
In n town constitutes police protection
within the contemplation of the new lio-
uor law, and if magistrates, why not no
taries, who have similar powers SO far
as Issuing warrants are concerned? IL
may very easily be the case that the sim.
pie residence of little woman in n town
VIII entitle the town to liquor license.
though she bc "a leading worker in the
local temperance society,"

POLITICAL.

1t is now asserted that Camm
Patteson, recently nominated in
Buckingham, ia Martin man and
that the friends of Montague shouted
too soon. 1t is further stated that
there is no anti Martin sentiment in
that district to speak of.
The Democratic primary law re.
quires that committees shall give al
least sixty days notice in Democratic
papers previous to holding primaries
in this State, and candidates to give
thirty days notice to chairmen pre-
vious to holding of primary.
In Northumberland local politics
is warming up. L. Il. Smith will
be opposed for Commonwealth At
torney by Clarence S. Towles, and
it may be that Asa Rice will also
enter the race. Sheriff Flynt will
have opposition in Mr.. Headley and
Commissioner Brent's office will be
contested by r. Z. Hunton. Treasurer
j. Nj. Booth seems to be the only
candidate without opposition.
A foot race is the unique method
by which the primary nomination fol
constable of Fairfield district, in
Henrico county, Va, is to be made
The race is to come off this week by
All six men are close friends and did
not wish to enter nto primary con-
test, so a half-mile foot race is to be
run, and the man that comes out
first is to be the nominee.
Senator Martins friends have no
reason to fear the people, and they
do not fear them, in any primary
for the nomination of his successor
IN the United States Senate. He
has record on which they can stand
with confidence and pride, and they
would rather present his claims to
the people than to caucus. What
adversary has as good record as his?
Match it if you can.-Petersb,,ro

rated, was announced Monday from
the Department of Commerce. IL

Government Printing Office, where

strike is imminent on account of this
case.
A dispatch from Richmond SAVE:
II is probable that the opponents to
Senator Martin will unite on one can.
dldate, and if this is done the Junior
senator will have hot race for re-
election. If he has more than one
opponent it is thought that he will
win In a walk. So Senator Martins
opponents would not only play the
game of two pluck one, but would
use combination against him; but
The people are for him, recognizing
n him useful, faithful and efficient
representative and his friends pre-
ilct that he will be returned to the
senate whether he has one or dozen

Martin is the politicians candidate

Certainly we have too many unjustifia-
bile homicides in this country. And the
habit. ii tnu ihN svil is the hip-pocket
carrying OF concealed deadly weapons
Were rigidly enforced, as they should he
enforced, there would be an immediate
decrease in the number of homicides in
the United States.-Sdh Lake Herald.
And the effete East is no whit
better than the land of our contem.
porary. Right here nearly every
negro and large majority of the
mannish boys go 'loaded" to their
hips. Just the other day we came
across vagabond negro doing in
an unoccupied house, and on the
window-sill by him lay big calibre
bulldog. 1t is from such Migrants
that race troubles occur. The man
tother than an officer who constant
~ carries firearms is generally a
coward, and at other times afraid to
~ OUT without his "gun." When
bucks and rowdies have pistol in
their pockets it is somewhat like a
drink or two of whiskey-it en-
genders false courage and incites
aggression. When in this mood
they jostie passers-by and offer in
suits to women, and these cause
calamities. At other times, and
when without weapon, the same
characters are as meek as little sheen
The habit of unnecessarily carrying
a pistol is demoralizing. Lax as
most of our laws are we know of few
statutes as constantly and openly
violated as this.

Richmond County Democrats

On Friday of last week the Demo.
cratic county committee of Rich
mond county met at Warsaw and de-
cided to hold primary on October
7th for naming candidate for House
OF Delegates. A majority of the
committee favored some other meth.
cd, but as the State committees rul-
ing in favor of primary is man datory
they followed the ruling. In the
matter of county officers the primary
was discarded, and they will be
named by District con ven tions.

HERE comes a startling piece of
news from Fredericksburg.

AAoui rTcuerick6Ourg
Lewis Rollins was fined $40 and costs
AZ tne county court of King George ON
last Thursday. The fine was imposed
under a recent act of the legislature max
ing IL crime for anyone to engage in
the business OF burying the dead without
hrst having obtained license. Rollins
was member of beneficial order and
appointed by said order to buy the cot.
I'm and see that the body of dead mem.
Der oil said order was properly Inferred.
Rollins never received any commentator
Tor such services and never buried anv
other than member of said order. The
court decided that Rollins was engaged
IN such business by virtue of his appoint
ment to perform such duties by the order
and 1t made no difference whether he re-
ceived compensation or not.
1t is often said that nothing ia
certain except death and taxes. In
this case the old saw was vigorously
verified. We have accepted the die
tum of civil law, that we must paw
to live, that to reside on this globe
one cannot evade taxation. And
now the courts decree that one
cannot be buried unless he has a
licensed man at the helm. Beware.
ye sinners. that expect to sneak off
and be buried in the sea, or that
hope to make last show of humil-
ity through being put away in pine
box Unless you call in licensed
undertaken your body may be held
up for the fee.

During the past seven years the
rich have been growing richer, but il
would appear from the report of the
savings banks that the poor have
been growing richer also.
Judge Chichester, of Stafford, had
three valuable young mules killed
while in pasture last week by light
ming. About a month previous the
Judge had three hogs killed in a
similar way.
The battlefelds upon which Brutus
and Cassius were defeated near Phil
ippi, in Macedonia, was fought over
again last week, between Turks, Bull
garians and Macedonians, in which
many were killed and wounded.
The actual value of ton of ma
nure is estimated at So. Some ma.
nure is worth more and some less.
but the average is claimed to be So
1t requires ten times as many loads
to distribute manure as it does for a
ton of fertilizer valued at $50; hence
the cost is ten times as much for such
labor. Manure is valuable us a
mechanical agent in the soil, and
assists in the formation of humus.
but these advantages will not offset
the great difference in the cost of
handling the manure. american
Fertilizer.
Rnmors say that Rockefeller and
his Standard Oil interests have par
chased $12.0O0,0OO par value in
stocks and bonds of the Virginia Car
DINA Chemical Company, and thus
secured control of the great fertilizer
and sulphuric acid concern of the
South. Rockefeller interests ALREADY
control the American Agricultural
Chemical Company and the Ameri-
can Cotton Oil Company. They also
control the American Linseed Com.
pany. These various chemical and
vegetable oil companies give to the
practically a monopoly
OF the phosphate andcotton oil bust

quickly back and, bringing the piece

"Now, sir! suppose I was confed-
