HOME INSURANCE BILL PASSES.

A bill touching Mutual Fire AS
sociations, introduced in the Senate
by Senator Walker, has passed both
Houses and become law. Repre-
sentative Lyell took care of it in the
lower House. The bill extends the
territory for operation of Mutual
Fire Associations to 100000 popula-
ton. Heretofore they were confined
to four contiguous counties. The
old law bore unjustly upon such as
sociations as the Northern Neck
Mutual, our home fire association, in
that territory was confined to four
counties containing an aggregate
population OF about 10000, while
other similar associations throughout
the State were operating in four
counties with two or three times the
aggregate population.
= The bill was introduced at the re-
quest Of the Board of Directors of
our home ASSOCIATION, urged thereto
by appeals from King George and
Middlesex counties to extend its
operations in their confines. This
will now be done, and agents APP
pointed as soon as arrangement can
be made. Essex, Mathews and other
nearby counties may in time be
annexed to the Associations territory.
The people of this section are in
terested in the matter and are greatly
indebted to- our represen tative.

HERE comes the Norfolk papers
kicking because they get their New
York mail at night instead of at
noon of each day. Just think of
as, in this enlightened corner, the
cradle of statesmen which made the
Old Dominion and the Union
famous, where we never get New
York, Baltimore or Washington
papers under "a hours, the Norfolk
papers until they are SO hours old,
and oftentimes hoary with sixty
hours; the Richmond papers never
younger than 10 hours and oftener
SO or go hours of age, and letters for
us posted six miles away taking a
weeks tour of exploration through
Baltimore or Richmond before re-
turning to Lancaster and place of
destination This is no joke, but
downright truth. In explanation of
the latter we will say that there are
postoffices not three miles from star
routes in this county whose only
mail service is Wis Baltimore steamer,
and all mail to or from them has to
go through the Maryland metropolis.
When addressed to any other point in
Lancaster, mail is returned via
another steamer route.

Republicans In Norfolk Have Warm
Time-Oid Organization "Holds
its Holt"
After two sessions of the widest
disorder, the Republican State Con-
vention in Norfolk adjourned Friday
without hearing the report of the
COMMITTEES on Resolutions. =.
The convention marked an era in
the political history of the State. 1t
was the beginning of g determined
war against the organization. which
has long dominated the State with
its do-nothing policy, and it was o
moat emphatic and vehement protest.
1t was Bouden-Agnew's convention
from beginning to end. Though
having tWo-ffths of the convent ton
enthusiastically and obedisntly unit.
ed. the Slemp or reorganization fac
tion were beaten ct every point, but
went down fighting desperstely and
breathing defiance. when their vocal
powers failed. Unable to get what
they demanded, the reorganizers
steadfastly refused to accept any
thing ard let it go at that.
Adjournment was forced by the
organization, which had the whip
hand throughout the session, while
Congressman Campbell Slemp, of
the Ninth District. was making a
speech declining election a. g dele
gate at large to Chicago because
Judge L. L. Lewis was not also
elected.
The party is split from the sea-
shore to the mountains and the con-
vention has had the effect of widening
the breach, rather than healing it.
The negro delegates ia attendance
carried very little weight in the de-
alterations of the convention.
Amid threatening protests the
contesting negro delegations to the
Second district Republican conven.
ton were refused seats. The negro
delegates interpreted the action of
the convention as q desire on the
part of the party leaders to form Q
LILLY White" party, accepting the
decision as such, the colored leaders
openly defied them and declared they
owed them no allegiance IN future.
