 As a result of the newly passed bill In congress effecting radical changes in the naturalization laws the city court may now have jurisdiction after Sep tember 29, in the matter of naturaliza- tion instead of the common pleas court. Judge Mathewson has received notice in the form of a copy of the new bill from Congressman N. D. Sperry. The bill provides that all United States courts or any state courts of unlimited jurisdiction shall have jurisdiction in naturalization of aliens, and inasmuch as the common pleas court is not a court of unlimited jurisdiction the mat ter devolves upon the city court. This will mean vast amount of extra work for the clerk of the city court.
 The question of fees in compensation for this extra work has already caused a difference of opinion which it will be necessary for the corporation counsel to decide. The new bill provides that one-haIf the naturalization fees go to the clerk of the court, but there is a provision in the state charter which de mands that the clerk of any court be paid salary in lieu of fees.
 Of course, Clerk Mathewman of the city court ts somewhat interested as to whether the new bill takes precedence over the charter provision or not and Judge Mathewson has stated that Cor poration Counsel Daggett would be asked to give his opinion on the mat ter.

BUY GOODS AT HOME

With the approach of fall and
winter, the purchase Of new goods
10 a question in many households
The outlay required to provide fall
and winter clothing. to say nothing
of other expenses incident to the
change Of season, calls for serious
consideration on the part Of house.
holders. Just what to buy and
where to buy it, are questions that
must be answered.
This leads US to observe that the
best interests of sveryscommunity
are best served by the patronage
of home enterprises. This applies to
home merchants in Especial man
ner. At this time when the mail
order business of large depart
ment city stores is made as at.
tractive as possible, and both
prices and goods seem more econ
omical than the home merchant,
prospective buyers should carefully
consider whether these oppor-
tnnities are superior to those offer
cd by the home merchant.
On the authority of city people
of culture and wealth who fire..
quently Wei! Lexington, it can be
asserted that no town many times
larger than ours presents more
complete stores with greater varis-
ty of q1ality and price than does
Lexington. 1t is Unnecessary, there
fore, for any one in Lexington to
send off to make purchases.

Senator Daniel Hurt by Fall

Saturdays Lynchburg Advance :
Last night as Major Daniel and
some of his family were going to
the Interstate Fair, his crutch
slipped and he fell heavily to the
ground, severely spraining his right
wrist. 1t will have to be put In a
plaster cast to prevent permanent
injury, and as he cannot walk with
out his right crutch the doctor
says he must avoid going about
for q week or two.
Major Daniels injury was quite
painful, but he continued on his
way to the Fair with the party, and
did not realize the damage done
until he returned home. The wrist
is painfully hurt, but it is not
thought that the result will be
more serious than a week or so of
treatment entails.
1t will be recalled that Major
Daniel has promised to make
several speeches in the Congress
ional campaign during the month,
and this accident may prevent him
from keeping some OF the engage
ments he he'd hoped to make. |

LOCAL OPTION SENTIMENT

The result of the local option
election in Kerr's Greek District
last Thursday is NO surprise, and
it is natural to conclude that a
majority Of the best people Of
Rockbridge are unalterably op-
posed to the licssnse sale of liquor.
Observation in Lexington and the
various districts of the county
leads to the conclusion that the
present method of dealing with
the liquor problem in Rockbridge
is the most satisfactory yet adopt
ed. No one claims that it is the
ideal way, nor is it believed that
the sale Of liquor 10 altogether pro-
hibited even in Lexington or the
districts themselves, Lawbreak-
ers will continue to ply their ne
farious trade as long as men con-
tinue to exist.
A healthy public sentiment has
been developed in many Of the
States in recent years against the
liquor traffic, not alone as q moral
issue, but from an economic stand.
point as well. IL no longer pays
to be known as . drinker. Many
avenues of business and trade are
closed against the user of intOxi-
cants. Employers of men know
that the drinking'man is always at
Q disadvantage when the business
demands the use of a steady nerve
Or an alert brain. And so
young men are adapting them
'elves to changed conditions and
IRE abstaining from the use of in
oxicants because 1t pays so to do.
