THE CAMPBELL CASE.

Investigation of Judge Clarence j..
Campbell. of Amherst, for alleged NAL
feasance in Office, was resumed in the
House of Delegates yesterday morning.
1t was shown that most of the witnesses
for the defense are related to Judge
Campbell directly or by marriage. There
were also several witnesses for the prose-
cution. w. II. II. Winston, foreman of
the grand jury of Amherst, stated that
Judge Campbell instructed the jury that
a druggist could, under the law, sell
medicated whisky, and that a half pint
of whisky, with five drops of laudanum
in it. came under the law. John w.
johnson, the last witness for the prose-
cution, corroborated the testimony OF
Mr.. Bowen, given several weeks ago,
concerning the consI tracy among the
iurv that tried Judge Campbell for his
assault on Rev. II. G. Crawford The
evidence for the defense was then COM
menced. Hiram Turner, who was with
Judge Campbell when the assault was
made. was the first witness. Mr.. Tur-
ner gave an account of the assault. h.
5. Ware was the best witness Judge
Campbell had Mr.. Ware said that
Judge Campbell did adjourn court before
he assaulted Crawford. Most of the
witnesses contradicted themselves so
many times that their evidence was in
effectual. The last witnesses were 5. K.
Harding and II. c. Coffee, who testified
as to the Sweetbrier road case, and
strengthened CampbelPs defense to a
considerable extent.

IN MEMORIAM.

In sad, but loving remembrance Of our dear
mother, LUVINIA SMITH, who entered in.
TO rest one year ago today, February IL, 1902.
Gone but not forgotten.
The midnight stars are beaming
Upon lonely grave,
Where sleepeth without waking
The one we could not save.
Oh, chide US not for weeping,
For sorrow shades our brow
She has gone from us to heaven.
We have no dear mother now.
Farewell, dear mother, thou ars al rest,
And will forever be
You could not stay on earth with us.
But we can come to thee.
You are not forgotten, mother dear,
Nor will you ever be;
AS long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.
BY HER CHILDREN.

Conducted on Liberal Principles,

Kokomo, Ind, Feb. IA. F. Nor
ton, who bought the Lancaster general
store at Converse, short time ago, has
disposed of the stock ofcigars and tobacco.
He says that he has conscientious scruples
against the sale of tobacco. He expects
to run the store as "Christ would run
it," Norton will sell for cash and will pay
his clerks at the close of each day.
Under no circumstances will the store
be opened on Sunday. Should the pro-
fits any day exceed $3.50 Norton says
he will sell the remainder of the day at
cost. The clerks will be given percen-
tage on all the profits after Norton's ac
tual living expenses are paid, and all
will get groceries out Of the store at cost:
The poor are to be charged the actual
wholesale price and those unable to pay
are to be given bread and molasses free.

As WAS published in yesterdays ga

University of Virginia held their an
nual banquet on Monday night, and 1t

the account of the affair, it would seem
that the banquet was of a political ma
ture for the university and its associa-
tons, presumably the object of the gath
ering. were soon lost sight of amid the
discussions evoked by some of the toasts
bearing on the attitude Of Mr. Roosevelt
towards the negro, and concerning the
future of Cuba. Now, why such toasts
As 'Our President" and "Our Country"
should be proposed at social gathering
is incomprehensible, and that alumni OF
the University of Virginia should so far
forget their early teachings as to approve
of the course of the former, and favor
the expansion of the latter, passes I'M
derstandiug. The expression of such
sentiments was out of place, and 1t is a
matter of congratulation that the pos:
SCISSORS of these sentiments were promptly
'"set down" upon by other Virginians,
who, having the courage of their convic-
tons. remain true to their principles.

article, entitled ''The Woman Who

Tup pprsrNT Balkan situation Is

Tur PRESENT Balkan situation Is
thought to be giving European statesmen
more concern than Venezuela, and that
this accounts for the fact that they have
called halt in their aggressions on this
side of the Atlantic. The Turk has
been an eyesore in Europe 10 these many
wears. but how to get him out without
bringing on a general war in the grab
game which would be likely to follow his
expulsion is an enigma not yet solved.
The Macedonian committees present
scheme, it is asserted, is to scare the
Sultan into mobilizing troops. When
these troops are modified the committee
will persuade Bulgaria and Servia to
mobilize troops also. Then, when all
the Balkan states are armed, the COM
mittee will start an Instruction, which,
it is hoped, will be potent enough TO
start general Balkan war which Will
secure the Intervention of Austria ana
Russia. with the result of a possible ex-
pulsion of the Turks from Macedonia.
There is enough dry finder on the slopes
of the Balkans for a great blaze II a
match be thrown on the ground. An
outbreak of hostilities between the Mace
DOMAIN insurgents and the Turkish gar
rison is expected early in March, and a
massacre of Christians will be followed
by a declaration of war from Bulgaria
under Russian instigatiOn. This fore
cast includes the cooperation OF Servla
and Greece in the movement for releas-
ing Macedonia and Albania from Turk
ish domination, and for completing the
Russian reform campaign OF 1877 by
another treaty of San Stefano.

LEGISLATURE.
SENATE.


The bill to provide for the extension
of the corporate limits of cities was the
special order in the Senate yesterday.
The matter creates much interest.
Colonel Anderson, its patron, asked tnat
the bill 60 over, and it was continued
one day.
Mr. Barksdale was severe in his crlti-
cism of the Western State Hospital ior
exceeding the annual appropriation.
Senator Opie, chairman Of the commit
tee, explained that by the burning OF
the Eastern Hospital, at williamsburg
the number of inmates at the Western
Hospital, at Staunton, had been largely
increased, and that this, added TO tne
increased price Of foodstufs and high
price of coal, had created the deficit.
Mr.. Wickham, chairman OF the IL
nance committee, made statement as
to the reason for recommending the APP
preparation, and Mr.. Barksdale with
drew his opposition.
Mr.. Wickham, in reply to Mr.. Banks
dale, said DR.. Blackford and DR.. Foster
had explained the cause of the increase
of insanity. The cause was due to the
poverty of people who were once IN
luxury, and had to face new conditions.
The bill was finally passed by unani-
nous vote.
Mr.. Byars made strong speech Tor
increased appropriation from 81 900 to
not exceeding 81, 900 to the Department
of Agriculture for the purpose OF pro-
hibiting the sale of adulterated food.
The Senator from Washington thought
very many foods were adulterated. No
action was taken upon the measure.
The following Senate bills were
passed: To amend section 1851 of the
code; to authorize the board of visitors OF
William and Mary College to use the APP
preparation of So, 600 as said board may
deem expedient.
The House Yesterday resumed the con-
sideration of the reports in the Norfolk
contested election case. Senator Kelley
spoke for the majority report in favor OF
Whitehead and Woodward, and George
c. Cabell, jr., closed the case for the
minority report, in favor of Lambeth and
Bibb. The vote was as follows: 10
retain the incumbents, Whitehead and
Woodward, 43 to IL.
The House bill appropriating $40, 600
for the Eastern State Hospital was
passed.
Mr.. Cation presented a bill to perfect
the title to tract of land in Alexandra
county of Eleanor Means and her heirs,
and it was referred.
Mr.. Boaz called up house bill No. "A
out of its order, to prohibit the auditor
from paying the clerks and officers OF
the House during recess, and it provok-
ed lively fight. The bill was passed.
The House committee on roads indeh-
nitely postponed the consideration OF the
bill offered by Hon. w. II. Lewis, OF
Fauquier, designed to allow through
passenger trains to be tagged at local
stations. The action of the committee
is considered as a deathblow to the
measure, and it will likely never come
up again.
The House committee on the Chesa-
peake and its tributaries yesterday re-
ported a bill offered by Hon. Z. G. Jor-
dan, of Frederick, to prohibit non-resl-
dents from catching bluefsh in the
waters of Virginia. and to fix license
tax of 81. so upon residents before they
are allowed to catch them.

IRISH JIGs, clog dances, reels, hits
and stage dancing are to be added to
the course in gymnasium work required
of freshmen at Yale University. The
purpose is stated by Director Anderson
to be to give physical poise, grace,
agility and suppleness. One wonders
now what time the average college stu
dent has to devote to his books when he
wastes so much at football, baseball,
clog dances and, reels. Truly the heels
are being educated at the expense of the
head.
