The Income Tax.

The Tlnlifax Gazette says that TIL,
people of that county VIII demand to
know how the candidates for the Lcgiss-
lature stand on the income tax law. We
understand that there is opposition in
various parts of the State to tho income
tax law, and that one man has already
announced that he would run on that
platform. Very good. There is an old
saying that the best way to repeal an
unpopular law is to enforce 1t. The
Judges are exercising themselves to have
the income tax law enforced and tho
people are rebeling. The Times-Dis-

Penitentiary Executions.

In view of the recent bungllng hang
ing In Farmville several of our eX-
changes have taken UP the subject OF
having all executions take place in tho
state penitentiary. This view has been
entertained by the Courier for a long
while. We have several times advocated
the. enactment Of such a statute by the
Legislature. The pcnitentiary Is the
proper place. and it would be- less eX-
pcnsive. Tho sheriff of the county from
which the unfortunate was convicted
could be present to see that the man
dates OF the court were properly car
ried out. AS soon as n man is con-
yicted he should at once be taken to
the penitentary and there safely kept
until the day of execution, and then
executed by the penitenuary. Can't the
next Legislature be prevailed upon to
enact such u NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Courier,
1t can, if newspapers like the Courier
will educate public sentiment. Vir-
ginians are very much set in their ways,
but they arc always reasonable and open
to conviction.
