what this would make a brilliant COM

giants. Both bavIng visited the world
at large and observed minutely poll

would not make a strong combination !:

with rapturous applause wherever
there are Democratic hands, hear ts and

The Court of Appeals, in a decision
handed down last week, decided that
the Statute, which forbids the sale of
liquor on Sunday is constitutional. and
that all parties violating the law, are
subject to a fine. The court in its
opinion says The keeper of a bar
room open on Sunday for the sale of
liquor is one offense, and the at of
selling another, and each sale made on
Sunday, constitutes a separate offeuse. !"
Tie court further intimates, that
any Peace officer who knows the law
has been violated, may arrest without
warrant. So in so far as this law is
concerned, there can be no excuse for
its violation in the future Any Off
Ger, Magistrate, sheriff, Or Marshal of
s-town, can make an arrest, for vIo-
lation of the Sunday closing law, Gov.
Beckham, is to be commended for the
bold stand he took. on this question.
1t has been largely due TO his Inhu-
ence that this matter was brought to
the attention of the Court of Appeals.

realize that every one In the United
States is in some measure familiar
with the coming jamestown .ExpOsi-
tion, / realize also that there are very
few who reside at any considerable
distance who are familiar with the
little details, the things which one
who contemplates a visit to this CITY
at that time most desire to know.
For the reason above stated, had
thought that perhaps few lines bear

in the immediate vicinity of Norfolk

friends who are making their arrange
ments to come to jamestown" In
1907.
In the first place the Centennial will
not be held at the site of "Old James
town." as Z presume quite a number
of persons imagine. This place is only
a small island formerly penninsula)
in the James river about tittv miles
from Hampton Roads. and of such a
size as to be capable OF holding only a
very small portion Of the buildings,
places of amusement and such other
things as go to make up an exposition
OF the proportions that it is intended
to give to the jamestown Exposition.
The grounds are located on the Norfolk
side Of the Elizabeth river On the
waters OF Hampton Roads, just oppo-
site to Old Point Comfort. This place
was foi merly known to the residents
cf this section as "Swell's Point, :"
but more recently as "Pine Beach"
The grounds may be reached from
Newport News and Old Point by ferry
while from Norfolk, Portsmith and
Berkley by ferry steamers. or by ferry
to Norfolk and then by electric line to
the beach. The latter is far the most
popular route, as the transit is more
rapid and the fare reasonable, costing
only ten cents each way. Persons in
tending to visit here next year will
find 1t much to their advantage finan-
cially to stop either In Norfolk, Port
smouth or Berkley, as the cost of going
to and from will amount to a very
small item as compared with the diff
