In regard to the recent con-

with regard to the sale of intoxi-

1t may be pertinent to remark
that all of these indictments were
drawn under the general laws of
the State, and Rot under the
especial law for Mathews county
Under these circumstances. the
Supreme Court of Appeals have
decidedi in Quillen's case, los Va.

can prosecute under either law
so far as these prosecutions are
concerned the only difference be-
tween the special law for Matb
ews and the general law is that
the special law simply says that
the possession of a United States
license shall be evidence of
selling by retail while the gen-
eral statute says that possession
OF such license shall be "prima

when prosecuted the burden of

that he has not violated the law

we have in Mathews cuunty some

truth is that it allows convection

CRITICISED THE ARMY.
Lieut.. Col. Charles E. Ayers Has Been
Retired.

Washington, D. G., July 25s--Lieu-
tenant Colonel Charles E. Ayers, 18th
cavalrs, has been placed upon the re-
tired list of the army from this date,
July "a, 1907, on the finding of the re.
firing board that he Is incapacitated for
active service on account of disability
incident to the service.
The retirement of LIEUT.. Col Charles
G. Ayres was indirectly the result Of the
publication of an interview in which he
was quoted as critieising the army
methods Of administering justice as an
outcome of the difficulty which Mr.. Ayres
had with the authorizes at the military
academy relative to the famous "over.
coat in cident. Lieut.. Col. Ayres was
asked by the department whether he
made the statements contained in the
interview, but he declined to answer.
Inspectors who had been at work upon
his case for some time learned that he
had been axamined by a medical board
before as to his fitness for active milit-
ary service. Thereupon it was resolved
by the war department to have another
examination Of this character before pro-
ceeding legally against Lieut.-Col Ayres.
The board appointed in accordance with
this decision having found that he was
incapacitated, as already announced TO
order his retire. This the president has
done.

Against Crooked Poles and
Too Many
ORANGE COUNTY COMPANY
Montpelier People Residing on Elm
Street Stopped Telephone People
From Stringing Wires City
Council Tries to Help Out.

Montpelier, July 25.--The Orange
County Telephone company ii having
considerable trouble getting its lines on
the streets here. The company wanted
to set poles on Elm, Court and Hubbard
streets, and was doing 50 on Elm street,
when the residents there protested to
the city authorities that the poles were
too crooked, and moreover, the street
was already crowded with poles. So
the company stopped laying the poles
and waited the pleasure Of the city
council.
This latter body suggested that the
Orange County people make arrange
ments with the Consolidated Lighting
company to use their poles. This was
satisfactory to Manager Davidson of
the Consolidated company, provided the
city would stand the consequences of
any damages that might result from the
crossing of the wires or other damage.
The city was not willing to agree to
this proposition.
At the meeting Of the council last
evening it was suggested that it lay
within the power Of the council to or
der the placing of the Orange County
wires on the poles Of the Vermont Tel
ephone company, with half the cost of
the poles assessed against the Orange
County people. This would require an
inspection Of all the poles in order to
determine how much should be paid.
As the matter was finally left, the Ii
cense committee and the city attorney
are ordered to investigate and report q
solution of the difficulty.
