CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS

Attention was yesterday called to the
fact that the validity of amendments to
sections a. and 80 of article 4 OF the
State constitution has been questioned
for the reason that the same only ap-
peared on the journSl of the House OF
Delegates. Senator l.. II. Machen TO
day received an opinion from Attorney
General Anderson questioning the val
idity of the amendments by reason OF an
error On the part of the clerk of the Sen
ate in not spreading them in full on tie
Journal of that body. The Attorney
General, however, recognizes the amend
meuts as valuable. Mr.. Machen has
telegrsphed the clerk of the Senate to
publish the amendments in full in order
that their validity can be tested by a
writ of prohibition from the Court ct
Appeals. Mr.. Machen says the amend
men.s we're passed under the same coz
ditions that others were adopted under
the old constitution.

Fruithurst December 12.-(speefai.)- )- The skeleton of Ray Hubbs Asseltine. soh of Mrs. H. l.. Asseltine of this placa was found yesterday lying in the woods, about six miles south of Hehin. MT. Asseltine had been missing since March last, and it was feared by h.s friends that he mad met with foul play, but as .--e contents of his pockets and valise were undsturbed. 1t is now supposed that he succumbed to an attack of heart trouble. to which he had been subject for several years.
 The body was found near the mouth Of a gold mine belonging to Mrs. As seltine, which the son had gone to in- spect when last seen in March. The grewsome discovery was made by a negro boy who was in the woods hunting.
 In the clothing which was still intact was found some small change and the small handsatchel which the young man carried had not been disturbed, which precludes any idea of foul play.
