q praenomen, which marked the In

England until the Norman invasion.
In the middle Of the twelfth century
1T was thought essential that persons
Of rank should have n surname. and.
tradition says that in the reign Of
Henry I, lady objected to marrying
natural son Of tho King because he
had no surname, whereupon the mon.
arch gave him the surname Of Fitz-
Roy, fitz being q corruption Of fills, son.
From that time on surnames gradually
developed.

aNon-Air Cars.

# il E
Please advise what tho law in the
State Of Virginia Is with reference to
railroads handling nOn-alr cars, and
whether or not a railroad has q
right to refuse to handle non-air cars
from Richmond to Manchester or to
any point in the city.
There is no statute in Virginia re-
During any particular character Of
equipment on freight cars. hence the
only law applicable to freight car
equipment Is to be found in an act
of Congress approved March 2, 1888,
amended April /. 1896, and again
March 2. 1903. by this act and its
amendments i is provided IN sub
stance that all common carriers en-.
gagged III interstate commerce by rail-
road shall have not less than fifty
per centum Of the cars in any train
equipped with brakes used and opor-
ated by the engineer OF tho locomo-
tive drawing such train. This statute
Is applicable to practically every COM
mon carrier by railroad In Virginia,
and as Will be observed. Is In no way in
consistent with tho duties ana ohll-,
cations resting upon these carriers
under the common and statutory laws
OF Virginia; hence, in the case sub
mittcd tho nOn-air cars are presumed
to have been brought to Richmond in
conformity with the Federal law, and

many cases, the movement or a single

could not in the nature OF tho case,
be held to apply. If. however. the
connecting carrier, as In this case, be
advised that the Federal statute APP
plies to switching movements. then 1t
would be tho duty OF such carrier to-
couple to the non-air brake cars in
volyed in such movement. sufficient
number OF air-brake cars to meet tho
requirements Of law. In no event could
connecting carrier lawfully refuse
to handse non-air brake car to its
destination, since its duties as a COM

service, and it must be performed,

He must be resident of the State
two years before he can vote. Any
person qualified to vote is eligible to
hold Office.
II man has no property he is not
required to pay taxes, and the fact
that he is not a taxpayer does not
debar him from holding office. But
every male citizen twenty-one years
of age and over is subject to the capi-
tation tax, and that tax must be paid
as a prerequisite to voting, except in
the case Of war veterans. Whether or
not It must he paid as prerequisite
