REPORT OF JUDGE
Interesting Figures on the WORK
of the Year.

County Judge Charles E. Southarc
this week tiled with the county com
missioneIs detailed report o! ths
business OF that court for the veal
1903. in which some interesting he
ures are given. The report SHOWS
that there are four different depart
ments in the court, probate CIVIL
criminal and juvenile. In the pro-
bate court December 81, 1908, there
we're los estates In course OF admin
istration. OF these, 3s had been
aled during the year, and during the
same time 36 had been settled up.
The bonds on file In the court by
representatives OF estates now in
course OF settlement are s424, s2e. 81
These bonds represent only double
the amount Of personal property,
and have nothing to do with real
estate.
During the year mentioned there
wele SO civil cases filed; 81 were dis
posed Of and it is estimated that at
the present time there are $50 cases
pending In this branch OF the court.
There were also % criminal cases
Sled, and 25 cases disposed OF.
The juvenile department is new,
but in this there were seven cases
filed, the number Of Juveniles affected
being IA.
The amount earned during the
year was 81, ,Os2. so. With the excep-
tion of the years 1895 and 1899 this is
the greatest amount the court has
ever earned to the county. The
amount collected was 50, S4s.3s, the
largest amount the office has ever
collected, and the amount turned
over TO the county as surplus earn
ings Is the largest ever turned over.
The system of bookkeeping In the
court Office has been changed COM
pleteIy, modern methods Of keeping
the records having been substituted
for cider and less complete methods.
TINS part of the work is largely due
to Ira l. Sides, who for the past yeaI
has been clerk of the court.
In the report Judge Southland de-
plores the fact that 1t is still neces-
sary that tine court clerks Office, the
judges Office and court cha mber shall
all be in one room 20x24 feet, and
that the Inconvenience in using the
district court room, which is so far
removed from the county court rec
ords, and the necessity Of waiting for
an open day in the district court
room often retards the work OF the
county court. Also with the increase
Of business on account Of the juvenile
court 1t would be well IL the judge
could pe supplied with private otice
In which he could discuss matters OF
4 private nature with patrons Of the
court

THE CITIZENS editor wishes 10

The CITIZENS editor wishes TO
tender cordial greetings and deep
sympathy to our brother of the quill
MIR. r. X. Nuckols, editor of the
Colonial Beach ProgresS-in the
greatest affection that could have
befallen him, the death of his beloved
wife, the companion of his joys aud
sorrows for many years. Our brother
has rounded the hill of life's journey,
and is slowly but erectly descending
the path beaten by patrician and
plebeian alike, and until now he has
had hand olasped within his own
which, though it might have been
Trailer, was yet such a staff only as
love and the communion of two souls
long associated can grow. We have
seen somewhere that the Indian name
for man signifies one who looks up
ward, indicating that ne is the only
animal that can "roll his eyes" In the
higher sense also man is the only one
of the animal kingdom that is privi-
legged to look beyond. We may see
here as through glass darkly, but
we know that in that Day the en-
raptured vision, shorn of its maze,
shall see clearly and know the why's
and wherefores of the inscrutable
dealings of Providence with us now.
And as sweet as any other thing is
the knowledge that we shall know
each other there-shall know as we
are known.

A YOUNG Filipino student who il
being educated at the Illinois Nor.
mai University by the Government
has been reprimanded by the War
department for attacking the friars
and the methods of the Catholic
church in the Philippines. The
articles first appeared in the VTdette
a student publication at the univer.
sity, and were then widely copied by
the press of Central Illinois. A
priest took the matter up with the
War Department. He Immediately
received a letter in which it was
stated that the utterances of the
Filipino were not approved and that
he would be vigorously censured
Not satisfied with muzzling the
press in the Philippines this Repub,
licsn government will muzzle its
people when away from home. But
now that the election is over and
Roosevelt has no further use for the
Catholic vote it may be such things
will be readjusted.

BAPTIST SESSIONS CLOSE

The British Education Commits

THE NIcCUE CASE.

Forty-six bills of exception have
been filed by counsel for j. Samuel
McCue, sentenced to be hanged on
January 20, 1905, for wife murder.
The appeal, if granted, will come
before the Court of Appeals in Rich
mond on January 5. The evidence
includes 800 pages, ard it is esti.
mated that the record will reach
1900 pages. The condemned man
has his cell furnished from his Park
street home, and his meals are sent by
the occupants of his former residence
Men, heavily armed, guard his cell
day and night.
An interesting report is in circu-
lation In court circles in connection
with the recent trial of McCue. Nc.
Cue was exceedingly anxious to &c
on the stand in his own behalf. and
his lawyers were opposed to his doing
80. McCue is said to have been in.
sistent, however, and his counsel
Messrs. Lee and Coleman-went To
his cell and decided to try the &C.
cused. McCue was told to consider
himself on the stand, and one of the
lawyers is said to have taken the
defense and the other the prosecu.
ton: McCue was subjected to q
rigid cross examination, at the con.
clusion of which both lawyers ex.
pressed themselves as positive that
McCue would make matters worse
by testifying than by being kept out
OF the clutches of counsel for the
prosecution. 1t is said that McCue
is still sore over the refusal of his
counsel to permit him to take the
stand, and that he believes the case
would have resulted differently had
ne been permitted to have his way

GIRLS MAKE GOOD PRINTERS.

Since the female has put the male
stenogrspher to flight other avenues
ars seen opening to womankind. In
many states girls are taking the
places of men at the typos case. In
our own State several prominent
newspapers are gotten out by female
type settlers. The Charlottesville
DAILY Progress was probably the
pioneer Virginia paper to install girls
at the case, and for years Editor
Lindsey has had practically no other
typos. The Fredericksburg Free
Lance has for year or more success
fullyworked several girls at the case.
The work is highly respectable,
clean and attractive, and such as
girls can do as we'll as men. They
make good wages. Aside from this,
the printers case is considered one
of the best practical schools in
existence.

High Cost of Living

Labor will shortly receive cut
throughout the Union. At the
same time the cost of living is in.
creasing.
According to commercial agency
the increase in the cost of living in q
little over seven years of Republican
rule has been over 81 per cent, or
Sl34.S8 for an average family of
i've. That is to say, it takes q
salary of 81 ,372 a year now to buy
the same household necessaries that
a salary of 81 900 would have bought
in 1897. The average cost of the
principal necessaries of life was
$99.43 per head on Nov. l. This is
an increase of $1.O4 in the past
month, of $3.50 in the past year and
Of $26.97 since July i, 1897.

Burke Roche, the dashing Irish
ex-member of Parliament, society
man of Paris and New York, has
given official England a shock. He
has just succeeded in rushing a
torpedo boat destroyer from an
English ship building port, believed
to be Hull, into the shadow of the
browning guns of Libau, where she
was delivered to the Russian author
tiles. Despite the never-ending watch
of countless japanese ships, Guiding
the guard of wstchful British officers,
and slipping past vigilantly careful
German officials, Burke Roceh took
the destroyer to Russia without other
papers than a bill of sale. The
destroyer was taken across the North
Sea through the Kiel Canal steered
by two German pilots, as required
by law, and was anchored near a
German cruiser until her papers
could be examined. it was here that
the most thrilling chapter of this
war romance was enacted for Burke
Roche cut his cable and sent the
speedy turbine destroyer away north
ward, dashing through the Baltic
before German naval officers fully
realized the character of the limo
cent-looking yvcht-like thing that
bad been lying within few yards
of their anchor chains. Interna-
tlonal complications are sure to
follow Mr.. Roche's act.
General Kuroki lives to officially
deny the report of his taking off.
The great Siberian railroad is con-
stantly breaking down in the effort
to rush troops aud provisions across
two continents. The Russian gov
eminent has decided to double track
the railroad, and $5,0OO,000 has
been assigned for the beginning of
the project.
Gen. Stoessel cheers the Gar by a
message that he eau hold Port Ar
thur till Christmas or until the
Baltic fleet arrives. Mining coun-
termining is going on, and explosions
and attacks continue to thin the
ranks of both sides.
The situation around Mukden is
unchanged. The big armies are
looking at each other, but neither
side seems inclined to attack. The
Japs have landed 10000 additional
troops The weatheris so cold that
1T is not expected that the Japanese
can advance beyond Mukden if they
defeat the Russians again. Some Of
the correspondents and military
attaches are leaving Mukden owing
to the expectation that there will be
no decisive fighting until spring.
The rural peasant assembly has
demanded of the Gar that he give
them liberties and certain forms.
All Russia is thrilled because of this
brazen demand, knowing that but
for the Japanese the peasants would
not have dared think such a request.
Should the Gar refuse the demands
1t is not unlikely that a revolution
will result.
