returned from Europe. This is taken
to indicate early frosts and an approach
OF winter, that is, it is thought to be a
certain evidence that the summer is
ended, and the question of whether
We are saved or not remains to be
answered. Mr.. Morgan was surprised
to hear of Mr.. Russell Sage's death,
though he had known of his illness for
some months. He regarded MIR. Sage
as great man. but of course when
one mentions financiers, there are
others. There was said to be trouble
with the Barring Bros. about the time
Mr.. Morgan landed, On account it was
said OF an overlooking by them with

Augusta Veterans are Now Enrolled In
Clerks Office.

Confederate veterans will be glad to
know that the record book ordered by
the circuit court last winter. has been
received by Clerk Harry Burnett and
finished as far as copy was furnished
by Stonewall Jackson camp. 1t is in
handsome, heavy red Morocco binding
with gilt lettering, alphabetically ar
ranged, and copied in Deputy Clerk
John Crosby's neat and legible hand,
the best soldiers record book we have
seen. There are over $50 names en-
rolled, all who ever have belonged to
StOnewall jackson camp. each of whom
has a record unstained by crime or de.
sertion, and centuries hence, their de-
scendants may. by referring to this
record, find the name and war record
OF their ancestors. who served in the
Confederate army if here recorded.
The question naturally occurs why
are there only $50 names on the Au-
gusta soldiers record. while there are
$500 on the Rockbridge book ? Surely
Augusta gave as many men to the
Confederate cause as her sister coun
ty. The answer is the officers and men
of Rockbridge companies were inter-
ested sufficiently to take the trouble to
get together and prepare each a CON-
pany roll of all the men who had faith
fully served the Confederacy in any
capacity, and when properly certified
the lists were presented to the court |
and ordered to be recorded and pre-
served in the clerks office.
Space has been provided in this
durable book and it is not
90 late for the same thing to be done
n Augusta. This can be done with
ess trouble by those who can conven-
emily do so, joining the county camp
1t StauntOn. Every old soldier is in.
ited to call at the clerks office and
Famine the book, which Mr.. Burnett
r his clerks will be glad to show them,
nd If his name is not recorded, he
hould lose no time in having it done
ccording to law.

BASIC is DRY.
Judge LefGher Sustains Election Thar
was Held In ApriI.

A local option election was h I'D at
Basic City on April 26th. and the town
was voted dry. The case was carried
to court by The vets, aud Judge Letch.
er, of the Circnit Court Saturday
handed down bis opinioo, in which he
held the election to be valid. He held
that the irregularities Complained of in
the Conduct of the election, not bel, g
fraudulent and not ffecting he result,
are not of a character to vltiute the
election.
The question In the case is whethe +
In electOr must have paid his State POLL
taxes six months in advance of u local
option election The court SAYS that,
in bis opinion, the Constitution dot 8
not prescribe the qualifications of vo-
tiers at special or local option elec lions,
but such power is vested in the Legis
lature. which may prescribe different
qualifications for electors at such cleo
tions from those filed by the Constitu
ton. There is no provision in the Con-
stitution relating to local option cleo
tions, except the reference made in
section 81, which gives the General
Assembly the full power to enact local
option or dispensary laws.
1t was claimed by the vets that
fOrty-thre persons were allowed to
vote who had not paid their poll taxes
six months previous to the election if
they were stricken off, the vets would
win.
The case has raised considerable anx-
iety in Augusta county. and has been
hard fought on both sides. Messrs j.
M. Perry, Quarles and Pilson and H.
H. BIease represented the drys. and
Patrick and Gordon and Hulst Glenn

A REMARKABLE SENTENCE.

Over at Lewisburg, W. Va, last
week there was seeming miscarriage
of justice, which has not tended to
strengthen the opinion of the public
regarding the righteousness of courts
which administer the law. A young
girl had been set upon by some ruffians
aud Wiley outraged. The criminals
were caught and tried and found gull
ty, and sentence of seven years only
was imposed by the court, the highest
that could be under the verdict. The
girl was from Augusta county, and
possibly no greater crime has been
committed on one of our citizens for
years where the criminal was not
hanged. A sentence of seven years in
the penitentiary seems like travesty
and mOckery.

MILEAGE BOOK LAW VOID
Corporation Commission Decides That 1t
Is unconstItutIonaI-An Appeal
Is To Be Taken.

The State Corporation Commission,
sitting in It's judicial capacity Friday
at Richmond, declared the Churchman
TwO-Cent Passenger Rate law uncon-
stitutional and of no effect. The case
came upon the suit of the Common
wealth against the A tlantic Coast Line
Railway. 1t is declared to be in con.
traventiOn specifically of the fourteenth
amendment of the Constitution OF the
United States. In concluding. its decl-
sion the Corporation Commission says:
1.-THE statute before us in conflict
with the Constitution of the United
States and is therefore void. We have
no authority to punish the defendant
company for failing to comply with it's
terms. We are greatly strengthened
IN this conclusion by an opinion de-
livered several days ago upon this ques
tion by the learned judge of the Cor
poration Court of Staunton, in which
he reached similar result. The con-
clusiOn already reached forces us to
make no further proceedings in this
matter. and so dispOses of the whole
case. 1t is unnecessary for us to pass
upon the other question raised by the
defendant company.
1.-The entire lawmaking power of the
people of Virginia rests in the repre-
sentatives constituting our General
Assembly, subject only to such limita-
tion as may be placed upon it by the
Constitution of the State. Whether
the provision of the Constitution rela-
tive to the power and authority of this
commission and vesting in the commits
sion the legislative power to make rates
are so worded as to exclude the General
Assembly from exercising its legisla-
tive power in that respect is a question
which it ia needless for the Commits
sion to pass upon unless it Is so render
ed as to render it's adjudication abso.
lutely essential to the decision of the
case. An order will be entered dis
this proceeding for the reasons
herein stated
TO GO TO SUPREME COURT,
Attorney-General Anderson, when
asked if be would appeal from the de-
cision of the commission, said:
II will institute proceedings for an
appeal as soon as We can have the rec
ords copied, and that will be as soon as
possible. We will have the matter be
lore the Supreme Court for it's cousid-
grafton at the September term.''
