THlEvING MAGISTRATES.

Mr.. J. Powell Royal, from Tazewell,
and the member from Nansemond, are
reported in several newspapers as say
ing on tho floor OF the legislature that
there are magistrates In their counties
who steal. These strong assertions
We're made, We believe, In discussion
OF a bill referring to fees allowed for the
prosecution OF cases before magistrates.
Now, It may or may not be true that
there are magistrates In Tazewell Coun-
ty who steal. We do not know, but we
do not believe the assertion is true.
There are quite a number Of gentle
men holding this responsible office in
this county, who are as far removed
from suspicion as need be to stamp
them as men Of unswerving integrity.
True or not true, the statements. IL the
papers report correctly, were unfortu-
nate, and evidently uncalled for. We
don't know Of the magistrates OF Nan
semond, but we do know most OF them
In Tazewell, and IL there Is a single one
OF them that would steal, OF is dishon-
est the fact has not been brought to
light, So far as we have. ever heard, OF
have any right t. think. However
Mr.. Royal may find an opportunity tc
explain his remark, when he will no
doubt be able TO do 80, II there is any
explanation to be made.

FIRE IN THOMPSON VALLEY.

Last Sunday morning, about 4
o'clock, while the severe wind storm
which had prevailed all night, was at
it's height, the large barn OF Mrs. G.. O.
Thompson, near the fork OF the road. al
the cattle scales, in Thompson Valley
was discovered to be on fire. The
barn contained straw. new threshine
machine and a buggy, all Of which was,
OF course, consumed,
On Saturday night before the stor,
OF the Plum Creek Grocery Company
was entered by burglars. and a lot oi
goods stolen. consisting OF boots, shoes
and n number OF bacon hams. After
the barn had burned, two hams were
found among the ruins OF the barn, and
1t is supposed that the burglary OF the
store and the burning OF the barn ma,
have been done by one and the same
parties. The supposition is that tn,
parties who robbed the store were OF
their way home, and sought shelter II

TALLY, or perhaps intentionally, set fir,
to the straw In the barn. The barr
was about two miles from the store
Just why the parties should have lef
the hams behind is a question.

TAZEWELL JUSTICE.


For the third time In u century a
Tazewell Jury has passed the death
sentence upon criminal These SEN
fences were separated by long intervals,
during which perpetrators OF many
heinous crimes have been tried at it's
bar, and turned loose. or given shorter
or longer terms In state prison.
This last sentence OF death imposed,
upon the murderer OF Tabor, to be ex-
ecuted In April, seems to have come as
a surprise to the general public. 1t
had become the general conviction that
first degree verdict could not be Sc
cured before a Tazewell jury. And It
Is fact, that many a criminal has been
released by Tazewell juries whom the
public fully believed should have been
hung, but from one cause or another,
was allowed to escape.
1t may be, as has been suggested,
that there is a growing feeling In the
minds OF the people, against capital
punishment, or, as has been also sug-
gested, as people grow In intelligence
and morality, and rise in the scale OF
Civilization, they grow more charitable
and lenient, and hence less inclined TO
infiict the severest penalties upon the
unfortunate or even vicious classes.
To what extent these conjectures are
true we do not undertake TO say. II
may be truthfully said that il the law
had been truthfully complied with
there would have been more convic-
tons In our courts, In recent years, and
less crime in our county and commu-
nifty. The responsibility $
almost entirely upon I h e
juries. The jury has the determ-
lining OF the force OF evidence
The character OF the evidence, and its
weight is to be determined by the
character OF the witness. Many a case
has been faithfully and ably prosecuted
by the Attorney for the state AMI yet
lost because of the testimony OF some
interested, bribed or lying witness.
II is the jury which must determin,
between the true and the untrue, anG
when they believe witness is not tell
ing the truth, even though sworn, ne
weight should be given such testimony
even though the life OF the prisoner il
at stake.
This article is written in response t,
requests from several prominent citi
zens. There is feeling in our com
munity, that We have had for IA mum
OCl vi lOO anu
we would have had less il our iurie
had been firmer and more positive il
the administration of justice. If crime
and wrong doing is TO be reduced 4
the minimum, and advances mad
along the lines of good government W
must suppress crime.
The principle involved in the oil
adage, that it Is better that ninety-nin
guilty men escape than one innocen
suffer, Is best for the individuals cor
nected, perhaps, but whether best fo
society or not is questionable.

of Passes for Shippers.
From q quarter wholly unexpected
the livestock shippers have found
friends to appeal to the railroad COM
panies to rescind their order by which
return transportation was discontin-
ued to patrons of that kind. The
livestock commission houses of Chi
cage have Joined in a petition to the
chairman of the general managers as
ISOLATION, which was submitted under
date of January 1 and was signed by
every one of those concerns. The Pc
tition is as follows:
"The undersigned, receivers and
handlers of livestock at the Union
stockyards of Chicago, Ill, respect
fully represent to your honorable body,
that the recent order refusing trans
portation to owners and shippers OF
livestock is certain to work a great
hardship to this market and all in
terests connected Herewith, to say
nothing of the loss of trade which
the custom, when in vogue, has been
instrumental in adding to the COM
merce of this city. We believe il
this rule is put into effect and carried
out, it will result in a large majority
of the owners and shippers of live
stock sending their consignments to
the nearest markets, thereby not only
diverting business from Chicago, but
giving you only a short haul of their
shipments.
"As representatives of the producers
