ON VAGRANCY CHARGE

The ST. untOn Dispatch Of Mon
day says the chief Of police Of that
city had ten white youths before
the police court that day under the
new vagrancy law. He said he did
not like to 90 to extreme measures
at the start, but simply that the
police justice might give the idle
boys of the city warning OF what
they may expect. This the police
justice did, and it is expected to
have a beneficial effect. The chief
announces his purpose tc make
arrests of all, white or black, who
come under the law, and take them
before the court. He thought it
would be better at the start to look
after white idlers first.
AS yet we have heard of no ar
rests made in Lexington, although
we have many persons, white and
black, who "toil not, neither do
they spin, yet seem to enjoy the
best the land affords.

Legislative Proceedings

Delegate R. @. Mitchell o
Rockbridge offered bill to hav,
assessed at their true value build
ing lots valued for taxation il
"bOom days
Waynesboro women having rea
estate in their names came very
near being made voters by the
Legislature at the recent session.
Mr.. Churchman'S bill entitled "an
act tO amend the charter of the
town Of Waynesboro' gave that
right, but it was discovered on
Friday when up in this new body.
The proposition was to provide
for building school house in the
town. There was no enactirg
clause and the measure was taken
up for amendment. en- notion of
Mr.. Opie the words cor female"
were stricken out and the bill was
made effective on and after the day
of its passage.
A very important matter in the
House was the Introduction by X.
S. b. Smith of bill providing for
the Torrens system of land regis
tration. This bill, which had been
offered in former Legislatures,
but never acted upon, puts tie
whole question Of registration
under the charge of a court of
land registration, presided over by
a judge elected by the Legislature
whose term shall be eight years
at an annual salary of 1000.
A meeting Of the Confederate
Veterans who are members of the
General Assembly was held in the

TO PERPETUATE COURTDAY

That was ali important actor
of the Board of Supervisors OF
RocKbridge at their meeting last
Saturday in selecting for tEeil
meetings the alternate monthly
dates with the Circuit Court DAYS
of the county. 1t will be seen
that their meetings occur the
second Monday in March, May,
September and November, the
first Monday in January and the
fourth Monday in July. The
Circuit Court convenes the second
Monday in the months of Febru-
airy, April, June, August, Octo-
Der and December. Hence every
month in the year there will be a
day for court gathering in LeXing-
ton as formerly.
The days for the monthly meet
ings of the supervisors should be
recognized as important meeting
days, along with the Circuit Court
days, and the county people should
take occasion to make these DAYS
enjoyable and profitable, regular
gathering days for bust. ess, inter
char ge Of ideas. etc. Thus can be
the old custom of
at the Count Court.

To Restrict Negro Education

A move to restrict the education
OF the negro to the lower branches
was embodied Saturday in bills
offered IN the State Senate by Mr..
Thomao Of Lynchburg, and in the
House by Mr.. Ouid OF Campbell.
One provides for special yearly
appropriation of $500, 600, which
is to be distributed according TO
population, and which the local
school authorities are empowered
to use in maintaining such primary
schools as they see fit. The phil
osophy of the bill is that the pres
ent system Of uniform education Of
the races is not the proper one.
The bill does not interfere with the
present appropriation for the edu-
cation Of whites and blacks.
The school laws are also amend
ed. with view 10 eliminating
politics. so that school trustee
electoral boards shall consist of
three citizens appointed by the
Circuit Judge instead Of as now,
of Commemorative Attorney,
County School Superintendent and
one citizen. Local authorities are
further authorized to levy taxes to
the full limit of five mills on the
hundred dollars, and the section is
repealed which requires counties
to run schools five months, or
certify that arrangements nave
been made to run them five months
before money can be obtained from
the State, the opinion being ex-
pressed that such provision would
close the majority Of the schools.
