Dove OF PEACE IN
HENR|C0 AGAIN
New Rally to Be Held to Decide
Issue Between Cl1ildrey
and 1llrockn1orton.
FIRST MEETING WAS REGULAR
Election in Brookland District on
School Matter-Othcr
County News.

| From present indications. the dove
OF peace, which up to a week or two
ago lowered more or less regularly
over the ranks of the Democratic par.
ty OF Henrico. will be restored to its
accustomed perch, there to remain, at
least, until after the Roanoke conven-
ton. The county committee concluded
It's consideration of the Childrey-
Throckmorton controversy yesterday
morning. and. contrary to the expecta-
ton OF the knowing ones, Mr.. Throck-
morton cheerfully acceded and agreed
to its plan for the resumption OF har-
monious relations.
Proposition Submitted.
In resolution adopted and mailed
yesterday morning to MIR. Throckmor-
ton. the committee signified its be-
lief that the meeting which elected
him was in every respect regular. and
that in its opinion. from the evidence
heard there was no intention on the
part OF those conducting the rally to
close 1t simply because many Of the
supporters of Mr. Childrey had not ar
rived. but because all the business
before the session had been duly dis
posed of.
In order, however. that perfect har-
mony might be secured, the committee
decided that with the consent or per-
mission Of Mr.. Throckmorton, another
meeting should be held for the election
of a delegate to represent Bruins and
Hungary Precincts. in the Roanoke
convention. and authorized the chair
man to call the meeting and have The
election again,
His Reply.
Replying to the letter containing the
resolution, Mr.. Throckmort wrote
Or. l.. P. N1itchaels. chairman of the
committee, that he was gratified the
committee considered his election fair
and legal. and thought him entitled to
a seat in the convention as a delegate
delegate from the county Notwith-
standing this. however. he said that
he fully appreciated the desire of the
committee to secure harmony, and
placed his resignation in its hands to
take such action as it thought would
be to the best interest of the party.
which. he said. he was always willing
to place above any mere personal in
terest.
Arrangements for the new meeting
will be made as soon as possible, SO
as to enable the delegate, whoever he
may be, to get his credentials in time
for the convention. The date will be
announced in a few days.

Authorizes Election

Judge Scott. of the Henrico Circuit.
Court, has issued an order authorizing
an election IN Brookland District for
the appropriation of $4,000 for the
erection Of school houses at Highland
Park and at Glen Allen. The date set
is May 2sth.
Up to this time the town of Barton
Heights has not formally requested
the return of the $4,000 which 1t gave
toward the erection of school house
there. nor has 1t made any protest to
the board against the proposed new
levy.
A petition was to be presented about
two weeks ago at the regular meeting
OF the board. but 1t failed to show up.
Just what course the people of the
town will take in the. election Is a
matter of considerable conjecture, but
1t is thought that while many of the
citizens of Barton Heights will vote
against the levy, the movement will
not be concerted enough to defeat it.

CHARTER AMENDMENT
SPECIAL ELECTION

SPECIAL ELECTION
The city election, Saturday, was ar
expression of the determination
the citizens of Enterprise to have &
first-class water system. While the
majority in favor of the chartei
amendment was large, it will be ad
mitted that even that majority is no
as large as the sentiment for good
water, as no doubt a number voted
no who are in favor of municipa
water works but believe only taXpay
ers should vote on bond propositions
That question, however, is settled
and all should now lay aside pas
differences and advise together II
the work of getting the best water
system for the least cost.
Contrary to an oft repeated asser
ton, the water works question is no
a personal fight. Every partisan O.
a city plant, as far as we have
knowledge, Is sincere i'm his belle
that plan is for the best interest O
the town, and of himself. 1t Is 1;
matter of not only general welfare
but of individual well-being.
The council has ordered the bono
election for September ~. In the
meantime, a watsrworks committee
or commission composed of the coun
ell and prominent citizens, aided ant
advised by two or more experts from
the outside, such say as the Elgir
city engineer and La Grande waite.
works superintendent, could investi
gate and report on the various
sources of supply. their purity ant
sufficiency. The best one, within
the cost limit, could be selected. thus
giving the voters a clear understand
Ing of the proposed use of the money
for which they are asked to author
lie the sale of bonds.
