A PECULIAR DECISION.

According 10 dispatch rom Nor
felix, Judge IIanckcl has delivered q
rather remarkable decision in con zee
ton with Il forgery case which came
before his court. He is reported ~
have rendered a decision holding that
forgery as a crime could not be com
mitted under the Virginia statute un-
less the person whose name is forged
suffers financial loss through the OPP
Grafton.
1t seems to us that il the judge
decision is in accord with the law il
would open up an inviting field for
one who might desire to disseminate
libelous statements over a forged sig
nature. II seems to us that the unau.
thorized signing of another persons
name should constitute forgery with
out reference to the after effects of
the deed. Desire for rccuniary gan
Is not an essential element in othtr
crimes and We tail to see why il
should be made the sole basis for re.

OLD PLANTATION DAYS

AT the annual banquet of the Con.
fcdcratc Veterans Camp of New
New York city, +. llopkinSon Smith
spoke to the toast "Old Plantation
Days" In his address he declared
that the extension Of suffrage to tie
negro was the greatest crime of the
century
THE great loyalty of The negro.
he said, was as much Il part of the
South as its plantations and it's PEG.
pie. Then came the change and the
loyalty Of the negro was destroyed, to-
Scther with the black mans greatest
and best quality. and there was wiped
out mt the same time the basic quality
of Il civilization that will never como
again.
AT that time there was loyalty in
the negro. Now what is it? Why 4
man In the South doesn't dare to leave
his home and his wife aud children
alone"

changed conditions which came with

families rode away for a day at tn,

The change has been wildly depict
ed by MIR. Smith In single sen

refers has been largely responsible fol

NEW YORK. Jan. 30.-Thc stock
market broke badly late in the day
after a series of mutations of specula-

This state of uncertainty lasted un.
til the beginning of the final hour of
the session, when stocks began sud.
denly to stream into the market
from all directions at once as though
by concerted agreement.
1t was generally attributed to Il
growing distrust of the technical pc.
sition of the market and to the grow.
ing holiness of an aggressive bear
party, which has been built up in
the market in The last few days.
With renewal of the decline late
in the day fresh Importance was al
