STATE INSPECTOR ACTIVE.

S. Vernon Stricken, the young in
spector who created sensation akin
to panic by obtaining evidence in Rock
ingham and Shenandoah counties which
resulted in the arrest of over two hun
dred country merchants on the charge
OF iilegallyssselling poisonous drugs, has
been in the counties of Loudoun, Alex
andria and Fairfax, pursuing his work.
He stated yesterday that about the
same conditions prevailed in those coun-
ties as here. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Strickler visited nearly every
country store in this county and pur-
chased laudanum, strychnine, carbolic
acid or some other poisonous drug. the
sale of which is prohibited except by
registered pharmacists. The purchased
article was then labeled and sealed and
sent to T. A. Miller, secretary of the
State Board at Richmond, and with
each package the name of the clerk
who made the sale as well as the name
of the proprietor of the establishment.
AS soon as the county had been
thoroughly canvassed the information
was sent back to this county and war
rants were sworn out for the arrest of
the offenders. Harrisburg Times.
Mr.. Strickler will visit every county
in the State, it is said, to obtain infor-
nation for the prosecution of merch-
ants who sell drugs, the sale of which
is prohibited by the State law. It
will be recalled that the new law was
published in the VIRGINIA CITIZEN
shortly after the close Of the last Leg
lature.

COSTLY CAMPAIGN.

The Georgia gubernatorial campaign
was probably the most expensive of any
ever held in this country for similar
Office. The Chattanooga News says:
'That is nothing compared to the ex-
pense of the campaign now drawing to
close in Georgia. Colonel j. H. Estili.
one of the minor candidates, but not a
small man by any means, said in this
city the other day that his campaign
would cost him $4,000. 1t is our un-
Outstanding that Hoke Smith and Clarke
Howell have already spent fully $780,
600 each, and the last days of a cam
paign are always the most expensive.
In plain words the candidates for Gov
ernor in Georgia will spend all told bro
badly $500. 900 before the convention
meets"

and defamation of character is consid-

is apparent that the game was not

Hoke Smith, whose chief opponent
was Clark Howell, swept Georgia last
week in the gubernatorial primary.
Murphy, leader of Tammany, has
declared for Hearst as against Jerome
as the Democratic nominee for Cover

convention which nominated Senator
Bruce, his opponent, and wanted to
make speech.
Senator Daniel will make a number
of speeches in September and October
for Judge E. w. Saunders, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress in the
Fifth District, and for Robert p. Bruce.
the candidate in the Ninth. The Re-
publicans are claiming both of these
Districts.
Congressman Maynard has declined
joint debate with Col. Cabell, his OBJ
ponent for the Democratic nomination
in the Norfolk District. Maynard does
not believe in joint debates by candi-
dates of the same party, especially
since the primary system tends to
hard feelings and disruption.
A letter written by President Roose-
welt declares: 'To change the leader
ship and organization of the House at
tins time means to bring confusion upon
those who have successfully engaged in
the steady working out of great and
comprehensive scheme for the better
ment of our social and civic conditions. {"
According to statisticians the Demo-
Gratis are certain to win in 81 Congress
sional districts that are now represented
by Republicans and have more than an
even chance of capturing the 20 other
districts necessary for a majority in
the new Congress to be elected this
fall The Senate is hopelessly Repub-
lican.

THE STATES NEW FLAGSHIP.
The Emeline Inspected. and VIII
Soon Go Into Commission.

The newly-purchased steel steam
yacht Emeline, recently secured for the
Virginia oyster navy, was inspected at
the railway on Carter's Creek, Lancaster
county, by the United States inspectors
OF steam vessels from Baltimore. and
passed satisfactory. The examiners
congratulated the State Board of Fish
cries on the excellent bargain they had
made for the State in the purchase of
the Emeline, and said that the board
had made for the State several thousand
collars on the deal. Times Dispatch.

nicely painted, and is now s'beau ". "
She will be commissioned for service
sometime in September after installing

The new boat is wonderfully staunch
and an easy roller The first of this
week she made trips to Tangier and
Saxis Islands, going and returning in
heavy seas, which broke over her pilot
house and smashed window glass. But
her seaworthiness was fully demon

owner, Commodore Roach, made trips
to Newfoundland and Cuba and on one
occasion rescued some twenty persons in
q storm which wrecked several yachts
of larger proportions.

convictions. Some of the arrests have
been very exciting and the guns on the
navy boats have been called into play
in overhauling fleeing pirates.
From reports from the Potomac river
it is understood that the growth there
has been very prolific this summer.
notwithstanding the great depredations
which had been going on in those

season there remainsa bright outlook 70,

THE CIGARETTE ATrAcBE.

Much is being said and written
about the obnoxious cigarette habit.
and public sentiment may eventually
succeed in RELOCATING the cigarette
fiend to the bsck-woods with the
common topper. But the product has
become SO great in America it is
probable nothing shors of legislation
by the national government will
bring doom. State laws, while re-
strictive, seem inadequate to wipe out
the evil. While waiting for effective
legislation. sentiment should con-
tinue to arouse against the smoker.
There il one phase that is exceed
ingly disgusting-to use no harsher
term. Custom from our forefathers
continues to assent to smoking in the
presence Of ladies by married people

The summer of 1906 has been re-
markable for its dearth of ice; in fact
there have been continuous ice fam
ines somewhere throughout our
country; and it is not only the poor
who have suffered. At times. and
particularly about the Fourth of
July time, money could not buy the
desired luxury. We are becoming a
nation of ice-esterG. The bean-eater
OF down east, the clay-eater of the
middle west and the rice-eater of the
south have no such record as has tie
whole nation on the ice habit. 1t is
true that the more one uses ice the
more it is necessary to ones comfort.
Aiiof which tends to prove-and this
years inadequate supply emphasizes
it-that We must have more factories
and more channels for distributing
this commodity of TALLY as
well as of luxuriance. Later the
medical journals and scientific how.
iers will rant on the ice-habit and
how many Injurious microbes we are
injecting into our system by use OF
ice and how the human race ID
becoming suicidal. But all the same
we are using ice, when we can get it.
and we want the factories to dc
better by us than they have done this
year.

This should be within reasonable
bounds. In recent years young ladies
have permitted long. hooked pipe
or a giant cigar to pilot the way for
a stoop-shouldered, hollow-chested,
lantern-jawed individual who is act
ing as her escort, but nowhere except
among the Latins, and in no elegant
society, is it proper for the young man
to smoke a cigarette while in the
company of young ladies, particularly
when walking with them. OF all
the perniciousness of the pernicious
habit none is 20 reprehensible as tina.
Most gentlemen know they ought not
to smoke cigarettes in ladies' com.
pany, but the eagerness of some girls
to retain their company has given
them license that lesds to temp Ia

esgerness for gentleman company
engenders lack of propriety. and girls
should be careful of the drift down.

tirely too large for the small fleet to

beds have been almost depleted.
The great complaint has been that
the young oysters were not given a
chance to mature, but were taken off the
rocks too soon, which has resulted in
the supply being cut down. Consider
able interest is centered in the coming
oyster season, and speculation is rife as
to what the future will bring forth.
The season begins September 1, but
actual longing does not commence until
the 18th.
1t is reported that the Chesapeake
bay and its tributaries for the last two
years has had and is at present plenti-
fully supplied with small natural seed
oysters, but owing to this extremely
wet summer it is thought by many prac-
teal oystermen that these oysters have
not grown to a good marketable size.
The large quantity of these oysters
which were left on the beds at the ex-
piration of the season of 1906 will largely
go to fill the demand this season at the
local markets. Reports from oyster
men from the upper part of the bay
state that the oyster beds termed ''the
Jumps" have not developed to as market
able size as was hoped.

rivers the hand of the pirate has been
