circuit court Judge Mccoy handed
down his decision in the divorce case Of
Beynam vs.. Beyham. His decision

Neither one proved case against the
other. The case has been the most sem
sational divorce case that has come
before the court for many years and the
decision was received with a little sur
prise by the attorneys for both sides as
each was certain of victory.

WITHOUT entering into the merits
and the dement's of the controversy
between Messrs. Swanson and Willard
we want to. draw the attention of
(. rampant primary advocates to the
evil day they have brought upon US.
And some of our contemporaries are
actually gloasing upon prospects of a
fracas before us! From the columns
OF some of these we are told that
the year 1905 will surpass any for
"scrapping since Malone moved out
or our politics. Newspapers and
people that delight in the sensational
will welcome aud lend aid to a repe-
tition of disagreeable times, but the
rank and file of Virginians-the
Democratic party psrticularly-want
no such return. And the man or
paper that agitates these discussions
is certainly no friend to the Demo-
cratic party. However, we feel con-
WINGED that 1905 will show Virgin
ians their second great error, con-
ceived and committed when they
were swept off their feet by an effer-
vescent wave that has since subsidized
and left so many rubbing their eyes
In wonderment Could we put our
opinions and desires in respect to the
primary ahead of Virginia's welfare
we would rub our hands gleefully
and say as did the old woman-"go
