AFTER COCAINE DISPENSERS.
virginia Overrun with Victims OF
the Drug.


Information from various cities in Yir-
ginia is to the effect that the use Of
cocaine is on the increase. From the
country towns come reports OF increasing
users who are supplied regularly from
the cities
This state of affairs has encouraged
the belief that the penalty upon the ille-
gal sale Of the stuff should be increased.
TO this end the authorities in several
cities have requested the legislature,
which convenes in January. TO make the
sale of cocaine and similar drugs not a
misdemeanor punishable by fine and
bond for good behavior. but a felony
punishable by imprisonment In the peni-
tentiary
The theory is that the drug is manu-
factured in the city of Baltimore, and
that white men. respectable In appear
ance, with suit-cases for luggage, go
there at stated intervals and bring a
plentiful supply into Virginia.
The coke" as 1t is called, is lighter
than sugar or salt, which is greatly re-

the identity OF the men from whom they

sell it TO a regular line of peddlers, who,
in turn. have their regular customers.
Men and women have been arrested and
fined and sentenced TO Jail for peddling
the stuff. but not one has revealed the

MANY SEEK SWANSON'S CHAIR
Stuart and Mann Will Probably Be
Leading Candidates for Honor.
Former VIII Retire from Corpora
tIOn Commission, Soon to Be
Succeeded by Rhea.
So % The Washlngton Herald.


Richmond Va. Dec. 22.-Henry c.
Stuart, who viii retire from the corpora
tion commission shortly. and who will
be succeeded probably by Judge William
F. Rhea. of Bristol. will launch his cam
paign for the gubernatorial nomination
early in the coming year in Russell Coun-
ty, his native section. Stuart at the pres
ent time declines TO discuss the coming
campaign further than to say that he is
much encouraged at the outlook. adding
that he does not care 10 enter the politi-
cal arena until he has retired from the
commission.
Stuart's most prominent opponent will
probably be found in the person Of Judge
William Hodges Mann, Of Nottoway. who
was defeated for the nomination in the
last campaign. Judge Mann recently re-
signed his connection. in the capacity Of
an attorney. with the Norfolk and West
ern Railway in order that the general
opposition engendered in the minds OF
the people against the railways on ac-
count Of the recent rate troubles may
not be used against him. Judge Mann is
a Democrat and also an avOwad Prohibi-
ZIONIST The prohibition wave which is
sweeping the State and country will no
doubt be a strong card in the hands of
Judge Mann when he goes before the
people.
There is an element In the State which
is making an effort 20 have Congressman
Hal D. Flood. Of Appomattox. enter the
race, but Flood can be absolutely relied
upon to support Judge Mann, who is his
avowed candidate. Judge Mann and
Flood have been close friends for years.
and when Judge Mann announced that
he would make the race for the nOmina
ton a second time. Flood was one Of the
first TO offer his support and good wishes.
Senator-elect Edward Echols, Of Staun-
ton was in the city this week On private
business. He called upon Gov. Swanson,
remaining closeted with his excellency
for some time.
What about your being candidate for
the gOvernorship next timer he was
asked.
you know il is nearly two years be-
fore another nomination will be made, -
said the senator. and there is no tell
ing what will happen before that time
comes. There is no need for hurry in
the matter"
Friends of EChOls are anxious that he
should make another try for the nominal
tion, expressing the belief that the re-
suit will be far different from that when
he entered the convention some years ago
But he declines 20 make known his in

70 this negro organization as one which
drew the color line because the white
race drew the color line on the negro.
"A wise provision was made when this
association was founded" continued Cor

other race except the negro's could ever
be a member. This was done so the
white man could not gain control Of the

benefit by it.
There is one thing that distinguishes
this organization from all others. 1t Is
the product Of a negro brain. and IS the
