A POLICE IRRIGATION,

That the turnkey at the police sta
ton may quickly summon assistance
from the desk sergeant's office in case
of need a large electric bell has been
installed at police headquarters. The
pressing of a button in the station
rings the bell in the sergeant's office.
The bell is such a strong one that it
can not be mistaken. If the prisoners
get unruly, simple push on the but
ton will bring almost immediate as

addressiwas independence for the
Filipinos in the fullest sense of
the word. "We relieved Spain of
the thorn in the flesh, the Phil
ippines, to plunge it into our own,"
was his epigrammatic way of put

the Republican administration. He
advocated the freedom of the Fill.

THE PUBLIC ROADS

For several years pact the ques
tioa of improved public roads has
been upfermost in the minds OF
our people, especially the agricul'
taral classes who suffer most from
bad roads. Tie season of the year
is now Apr )aching when the con-
dition of our public highways will
again he ut their worst, and again
we may expect to have discus
sion in the newspapers as to the
beat and most economical methods
of road Improvement.
The plan of working convicts,
which has been used In Bedford
county with such signal success,
seems at present to be the most
practicable. The experiment tried
in that county has been 80 satisfac-
tori that il will be continued on a
larger scale. and force of forty.
one convicts has been secured for
the purpose. Formerly twenty
five were used, but the authorities
of the county have now ask ed for
sixteen more. The cost to the |
county will be much less than that
of similar work by free labor, and
their employment is in no wise in
competition with the laboring men
Of the county.
1t seems worse than folly to
wait for State or Government aid
in the i'm provement of the roads
OF the various counties. The
counties themselves are unable to
appropriate sufficient funds for the !
,0nstruc lion of good roads. SO 1t =
seems the best solution for the /
county authorities is to employ the I
cheap labor AT the disposal of the {

McCue Trial Began Yesterday

! The trial of ex-Mayor j. Samue
McCae on the charge of numbering
his wife, Mrs, Fannie NJ. McCue
on September 4, began yesterday
In Charlottesville. The case has
excited widespread interest, and
an immense crowd. many society
women among them, sought admis-
sion to the court room.
The prisoner entered in the GUS
toby of Jailer Martin, neatly
dressed, confident in bearing, and
unchanged in appearance. Among
the first arrivals at the court room
was William MeCue, regarded by
! the prosecution as all important
witness against his father, and
who it was at one time thought
had been spirited away. Two
others of the four children of the
accused were present, and all Of
them kissed their father With APP
parent affection. The ex-Mayo-I
exhibited no emotion, oven when
his ten-year-old daughter snuggled
in his lap and wept bitterly, but he
kissed her lovingly.
Those versed in the tricks and
subtleties of the Law prophecy that
the prisoners attorneys will regu-
