MIR. E. C. fOLKES ON
SOCIAL CLUB LAW
The History Of the Matter as
He Remembers it In
Legislature.

The letter of Judge William H. Mann,
| author of the Mann bill, printed In yes
torday's Dispatch, caused much
| discussion of the provisions of that law
on the streets yesterday, and especially
among legislators and those familiar
with the history of the bill.
The part taken by the Finance Commit
tee of the House In the framing of the
bill is matter of dispute among MEM
bers. Mr.. e. c. Folkes. a member Of
the Richmond delegation IN the House,
discussing the matter yesterday. stated
that Judge Mann was certainly badly
informed as to the responsibility Of the
Finance Committee Of the House for the
present social club feature of the law.
Mr.. Fokes, in a statement as to the
legislation on this line, as he recalls It.,
says:
Judge Mann is certainly badly in
formed about the Finance Committee
Of the House being the father of the
present social club law.
"Those who really took an interest IN
simon-pure temperance legislation will
remember that the House Finance Com
mittee even went SO far as to propose
the abolition of tho old social club law.
and come cut of the committee room to
the House with the old liquor law with
this provlso in effect: That social clubs
should only dispense. liquors on the same
terms as retail liquor dealers or bar
rooms. This provision subjected them
to the Sunday law, and. IN TACT put
them. as far as selling liquor was con-
cerned, on the same 1oot'hs as pat-
rooms"
"some of the members saw that COM
nlaint would arise, and 1t did arise, from
very powerful source, to-wit: The
more aristocratc clubs In various parts
of the State, which protested that this
provision put them under police surVeil-
lance, and that under 1t they could not
dispense liquors on Sundays.
"Then Mr.. Cardwell, Of Hanover, pro-
nosed on the floor of the House the pres
emit social club law and pushed 1t through.
or course, being the maker OF the motion
in the committee, which placed all people
on the same footing who retailed liquor.
/ raised an objection, but the FINANCE
Committee was beaten and the present
law was put In the place OF the old law
/ do not propose to have this thing sad
died on the House Finance Committee.
"Of course, Judge Mann had nothing to
do with II. He had no more to do with
the present social club law than he had
Ia do with the amendment providing for
the reyoking of the license OF those who
sold liquor on Sunday and to minors, l
proposed this as new matter In the Con-
ference Committee, and 1t was about all
they let me have, Permit me to say that
while have cast votes In the Legislature

and in amity to do Gods Will, and to

dissolve Into gladness and Its fear fade

GREAT WILL BE
HORSE SHOW HERE
Number of Entries and the
Standard Ahead Of Any
thln1 Outside New York.

With the Horse Show nearly two weeks
In the future, the sale OF seats yesterday
was the heaviest since they were offered,
n large number Of the most desirable ones
going. Entries will close to-day, but
those mailed October LIST will be received,
even II they do not reach the city pe1ore
October I'd. The management ls already
rushed receiving and recording entries,
and will be busy as hive or bees ZOE
the next two days. Already iarge num-
Der have been received and recorded, IN
GLIDING some Of the most famous horses
in the country. Many entries have been
made by local exhibitors in various class
es and RICHMOND and vicinity are going
to be much better represented at the show
than was thought some days ago. Among
the we'll known exhibitors is Hon. Henry
Fairfax, member of the Corporation Com.
mission, who has a fine stock farm at
Aide, Loudoun county. He has mace
nine entries in the saddle and harness
classes, and has some horses that are
going to be heard from when the ribbons
are handed out by the judges.
Box-hoders are urged to call for their
seats to-day, and before P. NJ. II pos
sIble. This is the last day for calling for
them. The management have many ur-
gent calls for boxes, and unless those who
have asked to have them reserved de-
sire the tickets the boxes can be disposed
of in twinkling.
Some idea OF the magnitude of the
show. compared with last years, may be
had from the statement that the number
Of box stalls has been more than doubled
and still others will be built. Secretary
Warthen Manager Smith and President
Anderson are all up to their eyes In
work. To-day and tomorrow and Satur-
day promise to be the hardest days of
the show season for the management.
No announcement of entries can be made
before all are In and they have been tab
fu)ated In the classes to which they be-
long. This will make 1t early next week
In all probability before the entries can
he announced in full. 1t is certain that
the number of entries and the standard
of them have never been even approx
mated at any show south OF New York
city.
Tho Marine Band. OF Washington. which
has been engaged to play for the exhi-
billions each evening and to give daily
concerts from II A.. NJ. to 1 P. NJ, Is
in great demand, and has just gone to
Chicago to play atathe celebration of the
centennial of the founding of that city.
The first forenoon concert will be given
on Wednesday, and on each forenoon
thereafter.
The building, track, band-stand boxes
and ring are all in perfect condition now.
and will be kept so until the first class
Is called into the ring before admiring
thousands. All Indications point to the
largest and most distinguished crowd that
ever attended a horse show in this city
or in the South.

Did You Eyerl

Did you ever stop to think
how easy it is for one to write
wnat they they think or to push
a pencil through your own YER
sion of any subject or piece of
news?
Did you ever stop to think
that Country Newspaper is a
conglomerate mass of matter
collected and put together by
an editor not to please one per-
son but to please several
thousand people and the taste
of no two just alike?
Have you ever stopped Ito
think of the labor that it takes
to get forty or more columns of
matter so diversified as to have
some thought or some item that
will please each one of those
thousand.
If not. try it just once and see
what kind of Chinese puzzle
you have bucked against. Even
if an editor succeeds in that,
only one half of his work is
finished for there are a thous-
and and ore other things he
has to look after and to do.

the sly just for fun and see

EDUCATION.
Monroe County Teachers Meefing-We
Must Progress Along Educa-

The First County Association
of the teachers of Monroe Couu-
ty was held in Paris, Thursday
Friday aud Saturday. The at
tendance was good, the teach
ers enthusiastic aud the meet
ing a pleasant and profita BILE
one, There is no question Of
greater prominence before the
American people today than
the Educational problem. We
do not seem to realize its i'm -
portance and too many of US
seem to reluctantly pay that
part of our taxes which goes to
help support the schools. We
should have longer school
terms and pay the teachers
more salary every month as that
is the only way to get the best
teachers. Our school terms are
not long enough. The children
are not spending euough time
in equipping themselves for the
duties which are before them.
An educated people are a
stronger people than an igno'
rant people. Let US rally to
the cause and push the educa-
tional car along. Are you Co
operating with the teachers or
are you retarding their work
for the betterment of your chill
dren? Think a minute. You
know that you owe it to your
child to give it a good educa-
ton. Do not imagine that just
because you may have a limit
ed education and have managed
to get along that your child
should do the same. Remem-
Der that the world is progress
ing, and if your child is to fight
the battles of life successfully
he must be better educa ted
than you are. Not all of life is
TO make a living. We must
have some pleasures and an ed
ucation not only aids in the
struggle for bread, but it af-
fords much pleasure. Don't be
a drag but cooperate with all
who are seeking to advance
the cause of education.
