Mr.. Butcher was on his way home

No Bond Issuing Election.

Almost on the eve of the election on
the question of bonding Prince I'd
ward county for road improvement
comes the very discoucerting discove-
~ that the recent legislature has made
such an election practically impossi-
bic. One of the enactments OF that
body was an amendment Of section
~ of the Code prescribing the qualiiiea-
tons Of voters in special and local OPP
ton elections. The poll-tax require
ment in regular el ctions now applies
to both special and local option cleo
tons. The added clause TO the law
reads as follows:
The qualifications Of voters at shy
special election or any local option
election shall be such a. are herein
above prescribed for voters at general
elections: provided, that at any such
special or local option election held Oh
or before the second Tuesday in June
in any year any person shall be quail
fled To vote who is otherwise qualified
and has personally paid at least six
months prior to the second Tuesday IN
June of that year all state poll take,
assessed, OF assessable, against him
during the three years next preceding
that i'm which such special or local
option election il held; and, provided,
that at any such special OF local option
election held after the second Tuesday
in June in any year any person shall
be qualified to vote who l., OF was,
qualified TO vote at the regular election
held on the Tuesday after the first
Monday in November Of that year
The term, special election, n used IN
this section, shall be construed to IN
clude such elections as are held M
pursuance of a special law as well a.
such as are held 10 fill vacancy m
any office, whether the same be filled
by the qualified voters Of the state or
Of any county, corporation, magisle-
rial district or ward.
>. All acts and parts Of acts incon-
sistent with this act are hereby re-
pealed.
3. In view Of the fact that certain
special or local option elections VIII
take place before this act can become a
law in regular course, AN emergency
exists, and this act shall be ~ force
from its passage.
A canvass Of the county shows that
bare hundred of lis voters have put
themselves within this requirement.
An election, therefore, at this time
would be futile aud has been
called of. This is a serious blow Ia
those publicspirited citizens who have
the cause Of good roads at heart, and
have been trying to bring home TO the
people the advantages Of this plau. II
is a setback, but should serve to stim
ulate all those favoring it 10 strive all
the more earnestly to see that nothing
will prevent the carrying Of this propo
sition when it does finally come up L
be voted upon.

Annual Meeting Of Stockholders.

The thirlieth annual meeting Of the
of the Farmville Building
and Trust Company met last Tuesday
i'm the law Offices Of Judge j. NJ. Crute.
Mr. Beverly Gates was called 10 pre-
side and Major j. X. Martin was made
secretary of the meeting. The annual
report from the president, Dr. J. l..
White, showed the company 10 be in
healthy condition, and all the old oili-
GERS were unanimously re elected for
the ensuing year. DR.. Whites report
was a. follows:
Famyille. Va, April a, 1908.
10 the stockholders OF the Farmville
building and Trust Company:
I'm submitting the 3Oth annual re-
port. the Board Of Directors again con-
gratulate you on another successful
year Of its transactions. The annual
statement of the Secretary Treasurer,
which has been examined by special
committee of the stockholders, which
viii also be submitted and read 10 you
by that officer will verify our stale
ment.
Bv comparing his statement, which
we adopt az a portion OF our report,
with the 18th annual report OF the
Board of Directors, we find that dur
ing the past fiscal year both the assets
and Liabilities of the Company have
increased and that the receipts and
disbursements have each diminished
during the same period, bat that these
differences, amounting 10 several thou-
sand dollars, do not diminish butrath-
er increase the sum total carried 10 the
prOft and loss account for the year.
Ne have now existing 39l paid up
and running shares of stock, against
400 shares reported at the close OF the
10Th fiscal wear. We are now carry
ing a larger amount Of deposits on
which we are paying the usual per
cent. of interest, which j. larger IN the
aggregate than we have ever paid
heretofore. This fact, together with a
general depression Of business during
the greater portion Of the year existing
throughout the country with when
we have had TO contend, will convince
you that the Company has been very
/ fortunate during the year.
The surplus Of the fiscal year end
ing ON the Both March, 1905, amounts
/ TO -. 669.5O and the amount carried u
the proGt and loss account Is so,tl2.4s
which is nearly 500 in excess Of the
amount reported in 10Th annual Stale,
lnent. Out Of this credit TO the prom
and loss account, the incoming Board
of Directors for the succeeding yeai
can declare larger dividend than was
declared at the close Of the Zyth annu
al meeting. but we recommend thal
the dividend declared for the pre-en'
wear should not absorb the whole year
iy earnings for the year but that a sur
fcient reserve should be held by the
Secretary Treasurer TO meet the cur
rent expenses and the repayment
of dividends on our loans, which lattel
NAV be called for al any time, ana To-
which demand the Company should
always be ready to meet without EN-
barrassment. We therefore recon-
mend to the incoming Board OF Direc
tors that the dividend declared for I'M
fiscal year ending on 3lst March, 1915
should not exceed : per cent.
Respectfully submitted,
JAS. l.. WHITE, Prest.
As recommended by the president
dividend Of per cent. was declare'
after which the meeting adjourned.
