In the argument before the Committee
it was shown that the C. & o. would
put up any sum of money that the road
would be built at once, if not retarded
by the granting of the other charter.
THE HOG LAW.
Well, l have apologized once to the
good people of Tazewell for voting for
local hog law, applicable to this coun-
ty. am sure that such law is not
best in portions of this county where
hogs and acorns grow together. This
is the only vote l cast while in the SEN
ate for which l ever felt it was my du-
ty to apologize. And l promise my
Tazewell people that will try in some
measure to compensate them as Super
intendent of Public Instruction of Vir-
ginia by giving the schools more of my
time and personal attention than ever
has been given by any other Superin-
tendent.
While it is embarrassing to me to
speak of my own work in the Senate Of
Virginia, do not hesitate to challenge
an impartial examination of my record,
which assert will show to my credit
as much important general legislation
as will be shown to the credit of any
other member west of the Blue Ridge
who served during my legislative ca
reer.
am glad to learn that there has re-
Gently been two republican school trus-
tees appointed in Tazewell county.

The Republican Ca mpalgu
(Communicated.)

AS was expected, as soon as the koa-
noke Convention gave US its splendid
ticket and platform, the party leaders
took off their coats and for a month

one end of the State to the other
Judge Lewis, who opened the speaking

With ew.exceptions the speakers re-
port large and enthusiastic audiences,
the attendance in some instances ex-
ceeding that of the Democratic meet
ings during the recent primary cam
paign. At every meeting there has
been large number of attentive Dem
ocrats, many of whom have announced
their intention to vote the Republican
ticket Nov. 7th. The most significant
fact in connection with the meetings is
that the people everywhere manifest
the keenest interest in the issues anc
have evidently determined to thorough
ly acuuaint themselves with the ques'
tions of the day. Everywhere there is
the best possible spirit shown, and ar
eagerness to cooperate which amounts
already to an enthusiasm not seen fol
years. Republicans are everywhere IN
earnest and most hopeful, even san
guine. of the result. Judge Lewis, anc
in fact every member of the ticket, are
making good impressions on the people,
because of their presentations of live
issues that appeal to the business mar
in both city and country, and particu-
larly to the young men of the State.
Tho appeal for free school books has
proved unanswerable, and as the peo-
pie understand it better and learn the
great saving that will result, they be-
come more and more interested-ever
Democrats admitting that the change
should be made, as there seems no pros
pect of having such schools as we shoulc
have under Democratic rule.
While the speakers have been busy
Chairman Slemp and his associates have
been working untiringly and with goot
results.

reason of it's operation many large es-
tablishments were unable to secure ad-
equate insurance from companies doing
business in Virginia, and upon the as
surance by agents of fire insurance COM
panies that rates would not be increas-
ed, and that many other large compan-
les would plant agencies in Virginia if
this law were repealed.
MY PROHIBITION BILL.
This bill closed quite number of dis
tilleries in Giles, Tazewell, Buchanan,
and Dickinson counties. 1t did not af-
feet Pocahontas for the reason that the
Town Council and the liquor men were
opposing its passage, and to have pro-
voked a fight with their attorney on the
ground, who was sent to Richmond by
them, would have meant the certain
defeat of the whole bill.
THE CHILD LABOR LAW.
In 1866, when l was II years old, my
father returned from the Confederate
army, broken down both in health and
in fortune, and therefore became at
that age child laborer at $500 per
month in order to to aid in the support
of nv invalid father and of my mother
and four sisters. l voted on this bill
viewing it from the standpoint of a child
laborer who recognized that he owed
his first and highest duty to his parents.
l did not know at that time, nor do l
now know, single instance in my part
of the State which demanded the pass
age of such a measure, nor have l yet
heard of any great increase in school
enrolment or any other great benefit
accruing to anybody from its passage.
Besides this, it seemed to me that the
bill pointed rather too strongly in the
direction of paternalism to commend it
self to my democratic principles.
THE DOG LAW.
Nv recollection is that this law was
passed at the session of 1902, and that
l did not vote for it. At the next sess-
ion Senator Halsey offered an amend
ment making dogs personal property
and subject of larceny on which license
taxes had been paid. l think l voted
for this amendment. really have not
the time to'examine the Senate Journal
and see how voted. If, however, ar
issue is greatly desired on this momen'
tous piece of legislation, will for the
purpose of making up the issue deny
the charge that voted for the dog Law
and in support of my denial vOuch the
record.

was in session. l came home to attend
four courts during the session of the
Senate. was member of the Sen

which committee had in charge the con-
forming to the new Constitution thirty
two of the fifty-seven Titles of the Code

was the first to finish my task and re-
port to the committee. The Chairman
and every member of the Committee
complimented me on being the first to
complete my work, and on the manner
in which that work was done. Mr.. Duke,
Chairman of the House Committee OF
Courts of Justice, by whom my report
was also inspected came over to the
Senate Chamber to express to me his
approval of the excellent and accurate
piece of work l had accomplished.
There were also referred to me House
Bills repeating about two hundred stat
utes, which bills required more than one
week of my time to examine and check
up. Doubtless 1 missed several roll
calls while performing this work.
My Circuit Judge, Hon. w. j. Henson,
having called my attention to a serious
conflict in the jury statutes, was ap-
pointed by the Chairman to look into the
question and prepare such bills and
amendments as l found necessary to
bring these statutes into harmony.
This required another week or more OF
hard work. Really, l was so simple
minded that l thought this more i'm
portant than sitting around answering
roll-calls. AS to how l did this work
on the jury statutes, l here give Judge
Henson's letter:

ROLL CALLS.

unimportant thing know of is Senate
roll-call. There were often from three
to seven roll-calls on one bill, the vote
on the engrossment and final passage
of the bill being the most important. |

Resolutions Were Adopted by the Board
Of Amelia County.
APPOINTNEETOP EXAMINERS A WASTE
Declared to Be q Useless Expenditure OF
Funds Otherwise Badly Needed

Eouuo OaHNA N~~-J
Amelia Courthouse, Va, Sept. 18th
At meeting of the School Board today
the following resolutions, presented by
Mr.. B. Trueheart, clerk of Giles Dis
trict School Board, were adopted:
Whereas, the State School Board OF
Virginia has appointed five inspectors
and examiners to look after the work
of the county superintendent, and ex-
anime teachers, at cost to the school
funds of the State of 1000 per annum,
these salaries and expenses to start
September 1st; therefore be it
Resolved, That we consider this ac-
ton on the part of the State Board un-
necessary and detrimental to the cause
of public education at this time, espec-
tally in the rural districts, as it takes
from the school funds (already too limi-
ted and sadly needed for better school
lbuses and furnishings and a higher
trade of Work by better paid teachers)
large sum of money to accomplish no
kood whatever to anybody but those
who draw the pay, and ignores the fact
that this is the very work for which the
county superintendent have already
,Ibeen carefully selected and appointed,
and which they can do without this i'm
mense expense to the school fund,
(which should be increased for good
work and not diminished.
y Resolved, That we enter our protest
against this action of the State Board
of Education, and that copy of these
resolutions be sent to The Times-Dis-
patch, of Richmond, with request to
publish.
"Other papers are requested to pub
lish these resolutions.

"SsNAT0R HARM0N's RECORD"
Very respectfully,
L. L. Lewis.

In last Mondays issue of the Times
Dispatch there appeared an editorial un-
derIthe above heading, based on certain
statements in The Clinch Valley News
to which l desire to reply.
The Times-Dispatch says: "The
Clinch Valley News has been delving in
to the Senate Journal for the purpose of
getting out the facts calculated to shed
light on the Senator's legislative ca
reer." Iregret to say that this was
not the purpose of the News. If all the
facts had been sought and obtained by
the,News neither the editorial nor this
reply would have been written. Editors
ought to know that even very ignor-
ant voter knows that a partial or gar
bled record is not evidence either for OF
against mans fitness for office. There
are two sides to all questions.
| am in favor of the Single Book List.
l voted against the Keezel resolution
because the Constitution had placed the
matter of selecting school books abso-
lutely and exclusively in the discretion
and power of the of the State Board OF
Education. Being a lawyer and having
taken an oath to support and maintain
the Constitution, could not have con
scientiously done otherwise. Besides, il
seemed to me not to be in good TASTE
for the Senate to advise the State
Board of Education upon a question
which the Constitution had designedly
forbidden it to do. See Constitution
Sec. 1872, sub. sec. A. 1t would have
been equally appropriate for the Senate
in defiance of Sec. 90 of the Constitu
ton, to have resolved that the Court o.
Appeals, sitting as court, shall selec
it's officers from particular section O.
the. State.

THE TRIAL OF PARRA
A Sick Man Who Is a Menace 10 ths
 Community.

Francisco Para who was arrested on Monday by Constable Harry Troops on the charge of the robbery Of Mrs. AveIena Orobuena on south Seventh street last Thursday night will b." given a preliminary hearing before Justice Johnstone today. He has been positively identified by the woman. It was on her description of her assail- ant that Para was arrested and when he was brought into court she was concealed behind a curtain. She had said that she was asleep on the night of the robbery and was awakened by the crealdng of the door. A man en- tered with a gunny sack mask over his face. She noticed that he was slen- der. He presented a revolver and told her to open Q trunk which was stand ing in the room She at first refused to do so and got into struggle with the robber. Then she noticed a short heavy set man standing by the door. She said the man she was struggling with was weak and had a cough.
 When she first caught a glimpse of Para in the office Of the justice sine was quite sure from the build of the man he was the one who robbed her. When she heard him speak she was sure Of it. And then Para has the kind of a cough described by the wom- an and he is weak, a victim of con sumption.
 His record is a bad one ard he is regarded as a dangerous character He served a term in the penitentiary for horse stealing and he is believed to be one of two men who tried to murder Attorney J. M Damron several years ago. The officers were satisfied at the time that one of the lawyers assail- ants was the notorious Carlos Aldai and Para who was generally with him was suspected.

LOW RATES FOR HORSE SHOW
Special Fares for Exhibition This Fall
Are Asked of Railroads En-
terinE Omaha.

The Omaha Horse Show association is
bestirring itself In the matter of securing
suitable rates for the show this fall and is
making application to all of the terminal
lines in Omaha for special rates. What the
association particularly asks is a one-fare
rate for the round trip covering all points
in Nebraska. and from points in Missouri.
Kansas and Iowa where the one fare is
less than $6. with the request that the tick
cts should be on sale three or four days
before the opening and the return limit to
expire about October ls.
Reasons that the association assign for
these low rates are that one fare is granted
for the fail festivities of the Ak-Sar- Ben
and low rates are prevailing all over the
country. At present the rate TO Denver is
but s10.75, and low rates have been proven
20 be a great help TO railroads In the mat
ter of moving business. Certain railroads
are known 10 favor these rates and It is
anticipated that all win fail into line.
While the horse show may not draw as
many people to the city as the fall festivi-
ties, there is every reason to expect a
larger attendance than at the initial show,
when thousands came from out Of the city.
Promoters OF the show say It is an impor-
tant event and because OF 1t being part OF
the Big -Four circuit II tends to advertise
Omaha throughout the entire country more
largely than the carnival, which is more OF
local event. II is further urged as a
reason for these rates that the terminal
lines should assist the Auditorium on gen
eral principles and the cooperation of the
railroads is needed to make this event m
unqualified success
