Andrews quotes the law the other way,
and election boards are expected to fol-
low 1t.
The opinion of Attorney General An
drews is as follows:
I'm response to your oral request for
an opinion on the rejection of ballots at
the County Election, where said bal
lot shall be marked for more than the
requisite number of candidates run
ming for any one office, 1 would state
that Section II of the Rules and Reg
ulatlons for holding Elections requires
tnat
q" 'H more nominees are voted for on a
ballot than there are officers to be filled
or if a ballot in any other way be con-
trary to the provisions hereof, then
such ballot and all 1t contains must be
reected.'
This regulation, which is in force,
by special act, in the County Election,
is clear and distinct. 1t does not pro-
vide that the vote for the particular
office shall be rejected, but that the
entire ballot shall be thrown out, in
Guiding, of course, all nominees on said
ballot, no matter for what office they
are being voted. Therefore, any bal
lot imperfectly marked, for any office,
is void and must be rejected as
whole. Yours respectfully,
"LORRIN ANDREWS,
Attorney General"

A DeplOrable Condition.
Editor Herald.

Editor Herald
There was once a town, situated on
the banks OF some river, on whose
streets opened five hell-holes called
open bar rooms. For number OF
years these places Of corruption have
been sapping the morals OF great
many OF our young men, and depriv-
ing women and children very often OF
bread to eat, and clothes to wear. The
Christian people Of this town, seeing IN
what a deplorable condition it had
fallen, determined to try and in some
way improve It's condition. SO they,
with the assistance Of their noble and
worthy senator, succeeded in getting a
bill passed in favor Of dispensary.
This closed the bsrrooms, i hope never
to be reopened. But | understand
there will be an effort made to leave 1t
to a vote Of the people, whether or not
liquor shall be sold.
Let all the men VINO claim 10 De

the barroom) go to work and use his
influence in favor Of temperance, and
there will be no trouble In abolishing
the bar room system. Some say III
we do not sell liquor we will lose
trade" II town, to keep up its trade,
has to sell an article that will corrupt
the youth Of our land, that will cause
so many unhappy families, and damn
so many souls, it had better be sunk 80
deep as never to be again ressurrected.

time there were two bars and only three

Owing to so much rain, wheat Is
turning yellow and thought to be
damaged. Fruit has been greatly In
jured In this section by the extreme
cold spells, which means great loss to
the fruit growers. One farmer near
here had a small orchard Of pear trees
and sold sixty dollars worth Of pears
last fall. This year there will hardly
be enough for home consumption.
The rains have been so frequent
farmers are behind in preparing the
fields for cultivation, but are hauling

and will commence blowing again as
soon as the weather permits.

II The Opera House

1.-THE Talisman,p by Scott, will be
given by the Dramatic Club Of the
Normal School, at the Opera House
Friday evening, May lst. BE sure to
hear these charming young amateurs
and encourage them in their ambition
to give henceforth only highgrade
plays. The proceeds will be used for
the benefit Of the Annual.
A very brief synopsis will make the
play more interesting: The scene Is
laid in the time of Richard Cour-de-
Lion, during the crusades, and the
beginning of the play finds the hosts
OF England encamped in the desert.
Richard Cour-de-LiOn entrusts the
banner Of England to Sir Kenneth, a
valiant Scot, who must guard the
banner all night. The willy Vectata-
nus, by means Of a ring and message
from Lady Edith, whom Sir Kenneth
loves, beguiles the young knight from
his post. In his absence the banter Is
stolen. Sir Kenneth is condemned to
die. and the intercessions OF Queen
Berengalia, Lady Edith and the Her
NIT in his behalf, have no effect upon
King Richard. Hakim, the Moham-
medan physician, who, by means OF a
wonderful talisman has cured the king
Of fever, begs Of King Richard one
boon-a life, in token OF his gratitude.
At last King Richard yields, and Sir
Kenneth leaves the camp with Hakim.
He afterwards returns in disguise, and
in saving the King from a Moorish
assassin, his identity is revealed, ana
he is restored to the Kings favor. Sir
Kenneth turns out to be David, Earl OF
Huntingdon, heir to the throne OF
Scotland, and after winning the victory
in combat with Conrad to determine
who stole the banner Of England, his
rank is proclaimed by King Richard,
who bestows upon Sir Kenneth in
betrothal the hand Of Lady Edith
Plantagenet, cousin Of the King.

Last Monday was the regular April
term of the County Court for Prince
Edward Tie crowd i'm attendance
was unusually small and business
transacted Of not much public interest.
This has been the term for granting
liquor licenses but under the new con-
ditions such things have fallen into
"inuocuous desuetude," and applicants
are very, very few. Litigation is lux
ury, and as our people have to pay for
telephones, electric lights, water and
such like luxuries they may have con-
cluded to do away with this one. Any
how it is a thing Of bygone and wheth-
er OF not there is any resurrection for
il remains to be seen.
Jas. a. Spiggle qualified as admins
traitor of the estate of J. G. Inge.
Emily Paulett, Administrative Of H.
C. Paulett, was relieved of erroneous as
sessment.
X y. Jones was appointed consta-
ble of Hampden District
Katharine Russell. executrix Of Rosa
b. Russell, was relieved Of erroneous
assessment.
No liquor licenses were granted,
though there was one application from
Meherrin which could not be acted on
as the treasurer is not yet advised of
the amount Of license money to collect.
There was no criminal case heard.
Messrs. +. f. Watkins w. G. Frank
lin and II. +. Lee, were the only for

as long as this is so nothing but con
fusion will follow. Let's put on our
thinking caps and bring to bear our

elimination in the Council chamber are
unseemly and out Of order. The "elty
fathers ought not to meet with the

We farmers are not doing anything
except eating. and If this kind Of cold
rainy weather continues. we won't be
doing that very long. Scarcely any
corn land has been broken and very
little planted. No doubt 1t is better of

We have been in the mud up to the
axle ever since last fall and the sincere
wish in this section Of the county is
that our representatives in the General
Assembly may pass a bill directing the
Board Of Supervisors to order vote In
November that the citizens OF the
county may vote for or against ma
cadamlzing our public roads. We fee
sure that every sensible farmer will
vote for better roads and then, we viii
be on the road TO success.
