The companies Of negro soldiers i'm
the United States army have beenldis-
honorably discharged by order Of
President Roosevelt
This action was taken after months
Of effort TO discover the murderers Of
innocent citizens in Brownsville, Tex
as. The murderers were negro sol
diers, and it was known by the COM
panies who the guilty parties were;
but the murderers were shielded. Az
ter careful investigation 10y army Of
ficers, the discharge of the companies
was recommended TO President RoOse-
welt, who approved the recommends
ton.
The incident has aroused intense eX-
element among the negroes at the
North, and the Republican State Com
mittee Of New York has asked the
President to rein state the companies.

that men must work OF 20 TO jail and
work for the State. The Charlottes-
willie Progress says that for Virginia

prisonment all idle and thriftless per
sons. irrespective Of race or co'or'
would be a sensible thing. People
who are able TO work. and will not
work to make am honest living, ought
to be made to work
We have an excellent yagrancy law
in Virginia. What is needed is not
such a law as the Progress advocates,
but the enforcement of the law we now
have. which fully covers the evil
The rock pile and the public roads
need workers. Plenty of them can be
found loafng i'm this and adjoining
counties. The only thing that is need
ed is for the shcnns and constables TO
do their duty and arrest these idlers
and have them put TO work.
Why is it that these laws arcnot en-

A VALUABLE AND INTERESTING
BOOK.

one of the most entertaining and in
structive books that have appeared
for some years is John Goodies Recol-
lections of a Lifetime, published 10y
the Neale Publishing Company Of
Washington, ID. G. There isnot dry
page in the book.
John Goode has had unusual oppor-
tunities for knowing men and events,
and has had a large hand i'm shaping
history. Born in 1879, he was a MEM
Der of the General Assembly in 1852;
was a member Of the Secession Con-
vention Of 1861; entered the war; rep
resented his district i'm the COnieder-
ate Congress; WIS a member Of the
General Assembly after the war; was
elected to Congress and served for
several terms; practiced law i'm Wash
ington: and was president Of the Viz
ginia Constitutional Convention Of
1912.
His book treats Of men and events
covering a period Of over 20 years. He
relates many anecdotes Of distinguish
ed men, and his character sketches are
delightful. There is much valuable
history in the book, also. Ii is a work
that will thrill the old soldier and
charm anyone interested in the history
Of his country, and especially the his
tory Of Virginia Immediately proceed
ing and during the war. 1t should be
in every public and college library in
the South.

The attempt Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad 10 strangle the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad
has aroused great resentment through
out the State. The following extracts
from the Richmond News Leader are
so admirable, and express so forcibly
our own views, that we reproduce
them:
II the pending dispute between the
State and people of Virginia and the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company or
its alliances develops warfare, IL should
be remembered that the railroad COM
panies and not Virginia are the az
gressOrs.
The question between the state and
the railroads regarding the control Of
the Richmond, fredericksburg and
Potomac line is whether the Rich
mOnd, fredericksburg and Potomac
shall be operated, rs is charter con-
templates, for the benefit and advan-
tage Of the people and the State or for
the profit of the other railroad corpora

mOnd, Fredericksburg and Potomac is
one Of her most valuable assets. Cover

vantage Of the other parties in interest.

Oaks Lose Third Consecutive
Game During Present Week.
Rulings of Umpire Perrine on Balls

Oakland couldn't hit Randolph and
Los Angeles could not hit Graham yes

Joss OF the third consecutive game by
the locals this week. Incidentally Per-
rine contributed somewhat to the Wis
ttors' harvest by his decisions on balls
and strikes, and the four misplays
charged against Oakland also had to
do with the final figures.

SEAL OF A NOTARY
IN QUESTION.

Testimony was introduced yesterday
in the Di Ryana-Carta forgery trial
tending to show that the acknowledg-
ment of an alleged assignment of In
terest in an insurance policy from Pas
quale Solomena to the defendants was
not made on the day shown by the
date on the instrument of acknowledg-
ment, which was drawn by Notary
Thomas S. Burnes.
David Cosgrave, an attorney, who
was employed by Soiomena to look up
his policy of insurance and see what
steps could be taken toward collecting
on it, declared that after months
search he found the policy in the offices
of the Hamburg Bremen Insurance
Company The settlement on the policy
had at that time been reached with Di
Ryana and Carta, and the insurance
company showed Cosgrave the alleged
assignment of interest from Solomena
to the defendants. on which the settle
ment was based. Cosgrave declared
that when he first saw this paper in the
company's Office on June II there was
no notarial certificate of acknowledge
ment attached to 1t, but that when he
returned again the next day the ac-
knowledgment was there in proper
form and dated May 20.
Di Ryana claims that this seal was
pus oa tno instr uHent on May ~, but
Solomena declares that 1t was not and
Cosgraves evidence was used to back
this statement The proof of loss
Wnlch Solomena was alleged to have
signed before Notary Burnes on May 81
at the latter's office, was also called into
question. The instrument bears the
seal of the office and Is dated that day

and on the days preceding and subse-
quent to it. GaIliano took the stand
and added his testimony to that of
Solomena, declaring that the latter
could not have visited Burnes' office
on May 81.

OAKLAND, Sept. 20.-The twelve

that H. A Williams. who processes to
hold an option on the property. has no
recourse in equity. The court decided
that the alleged option was invalid.
The twelve acres composing the Moss
tract are considered part of the most
valuable property in Oakland Will
liams claims that when he leased It,
there was an option in the lease where
by he might buy it for the price that
any one else might offer.
Worthington Ames bid $50.OO5 when
the matter was taken up by the court
and Williams Immediately offered the
same amount But Warning wilkinson
and E. c. Harrison, the executors of
the Moss will. objected to transferring
the property and Judge Harris held
that they were right.
Williams sued to compel them to
execute the deed on the ground that he
had made an agreement with Julia
Moss. As result the probate proceed
ings will be reopened. 1t is UNDER
stood that S56.000 has been offered for
the property and higher bids are ex-
pected when the case is called again
