Saturday, February Is, 1908.

A movement of national scope to
nominate Judge George Gray, OF
Delaware, for the Presidency, is re-
ported from Scranton, Pa. The Dem
ocratic County Committee of that
place started it and calls upon csndi-
dates for national delegates in that
Congressional district to pledge their
votes for him. Resolutions too were
adopted setting forth his high claims
and qualifications for the high office
No one will question that he is
good Democratic presidential timber
so too are johnson, ot WISCONSIN,
Culherson, Of Texas, Folk, OF Mis-
souri,, and score ot others which
might be named, each of whom have
had boom launched for them by q
handful of democrats III the past few
weeks-but this one like theirs too
it is safe TO predict, will soon be
numbered among those which have
"gone glimmering." In fact, what
is the use OF boom when Mr.. Bryan
has already been named by the SOW
ereign people of the country as thei'
next standard bearer? And certainly
it is presumption and folly for a few
democrats in State, which cannot
elect justice of the peace, to attemp'
to name the next Democratic candi
date for the presidency. Recognizing
as the Democrats of the country gen
orally do, Mr.. Bryan as the nominee
already of his party and the Denve
Convention only as the place to ratif!
his nomination, the few democrats o
Scranton, unless members of Re
publican Aid Society, ought to b
able to see that it is their duty in
stead of striving to stir up dissensio
in the Democratic party, to fall int
line and occupy modest place in tn
Democratic ranks.

The Legislature should make ample
provision for the veterans of the Con-
federacy, whatever duty is neglected,
before it adjourns. AS the Richmond
Journal so we'll says: "They served
without any compulsion save the driv-
ing force of duty, and received no
pay, or, rather, mockery of stipend.
And the thin remnant line is with US,
poor, aged, broken. These dear old
men still close ranks as of yore, but
now the mere touch of the finger of
death suffices to lay low their totter-
ing bodies. The time is short where
in Virginia may succor them. Another
reward will soon be theirs. Virginia
is not "disgustingly rich," as Presi-
dent Alderman remarks, but strong
er word would be required to charac-
terize the neglect of those who strove
and suffered for us. Willie we can,
we may do them good, fort the long
night cometh on apace.

Charges Against Judge Blackstone.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 11.-Specihc,
charges against Judge Blackstone, OF
the Eleventh circuit, were filed today.
Drunkenness and immortality are the
two charges named. The former &C
cusation is that on two occasions, at
least, Judge Blackstone, while presid-
ing over sessions of his court, went to
sleep on the bench and was aroused
from his alleged drunken stupor only
when the clerk of the court seized bis
shoulder and shook him.
1t is further specifically alleged
that in January last the business OF
the Circuit Court of Elizabeth City
County was INSTRUCTED for the greater
part OF week because Judge Black
stone was on debauoh, and that
while in this condition he attended a
dance given on one Monday by aban-
doned women. AS result of this de-
bauch, il is alleged, his condition be-
came such that he was unable to hold
this term OF his court. The allegations
give approximate dates and the names
OF witnesses and make up a paper oil
about 1900 words. The committee
will hear the case, beginning Febru-
airy 20.

Governor Swanson, it is understood,
is opposed to an extra session of the
General Assembly, and if one is held
he will, it is stated, force the mem
bers of both branches to take the ini-
tiative and assume the responsibility
for the session-and the people gen.
orally of the State, doubtless, will ap-
prove the conclusion he has reached
in the matter. The State ought not
to be burdened with that expense if ii
can be avoided, and if that expense
can be saved at least by extending
the session of the Legislature a
few days, it ought to be done
The members, who are patriotic
enough to take that view of it, will be
able to give an account of theil
stewardship that will be more salts
factory to their constitents and may
save themselves trouble when asking
their support again.

Attack rlade on State Board OF Fish
cries.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 11.-Follow-
no Of an in inv s
of the State Board of Fisheries, OF
which w. Mcdonald Lee, of Irving
ton, is chairman, comes the publlca-
ton here to day Of letter by Con
gresham William A. Jones, OF the
First District, and an editorial from
the Northern Neck News bearing
upon matters affecting the State
Board and the bill which has been in
troduced by Senator Sale, of Norfolk,
providing for a change in the name oil
the board, to increase the salaries,
define duties and provide fund foI
carrying out the provisions OF the new
act.
CONGRESSMAN Jones, in his letter
charges that the last report of the
State Board of Fisheries contains
1.-TWO inaccurate and very misleading
statements"
The Congressman declares that the
figures have been so arranged tc
make deficiencies appear by half les'
than what they are and to make las
| vear's net revenue of the board to the
State appear in excess OF what thel
really we're, the report showing ne
profit of over $66,000 when the Con
gresham estimates that the real ne
profit will be $4,000.
The Congressman makes othe,
charges too and the Northern Necl
News calls for the defeat OF the Sal'
bill, which it calls grab"

Reports from all sections of the
country seem to indicate that the
nation is again on the high road to
prosperity and day after day now the
advices are, that with the steady in
crease in value of business normal
conditions will soon be reached. Fac
tories, mills and other establishments
are being opened and the prediction
now is, that the unemployed will soon
have plenty OF work and before long
an idle establishment of any kind will
be the exception. The calamity how
lers too have ceased to croak--another
indication that good times may soon
be expected again.

Charges all False Says Blackstone,

Richmond, Va, Feb 12.-Judge j.
W. q. Blackstone, of the Eleventh
judicial circuit, against whom charges
Of immortality, incompetency and
neglect of duty have been preferred
hy several hundred citizens, ana
against whom an investigation is
about to be launched by the Legisla-
ture, arrived in Richmond unexpect-
edlv this afternoon. He was in con-
terence with representative men from
every county in his circuit at the
Richmond hotel tonight.
A statement was issued by the
friends of Judge Blackstone after the
conference. in which it is stated posi-
lively that Judge Blackstone will not
resign under fire, but will fight all OF
the charges to the bitter end. lie de-
fies anybody to make good one asser-
ton of the many accusations which
have been brought against him.
Judge Blackstone refutes the ldea,
currently expressed today, that there
will be no representative OF the law
from his circuit to defend him. On
the other hand he asserts that he can
obtain the services of eminent attor-
news from any county in his circuit.
Several LAWYERS, it is said, have al
ready volunteered their services.
Among the counties and cities rep
resented in the conference were Ac'
comac, Northampton and Elizabeth
City counties, and the cities OF New
port News and Hampton.
1t is stated that there are four law.
vers, witnesses for the prosecution, al
| of whom are avowed candidates fol
for the seat now occupied by Judge
Blackstone.
| Judge Blackstone also repudiate'
the statement made today that prom
Iinent physicians have stated that L
would not be hard matter to have
him declared insane. His friends state
that he is here to fight any and al
charges. Judge Blackstone courts tn
most thorough investigation: he de
clares the charges filed with the Legis
lature. the contents of which wer
made public on yesterday are one ant
all untrue, and that they will not bea
investigation.
The Committee or Courts of Justice
which has the matter of the lnVestl
CATION in hand, has deferred the hear
| ing until Thursday, February 20 Th
continuance was granted in orde
that Judge Blackstone might hav
every opportunity of perfecting nj
defense and employing counsel: Tn

The Baylor survey will not be broken
by any legislation on the part of the
present General Assembly. An unani-
nous adverse report has been made
by the Senate Committee on Fish and
Game and their action can be accept
ed as very good index of what the
result will be when the measure is
brought before the Senate to be dis
posed of. The best informed men,
bers of the Senate-those from the
Tidewater section-bitterly opposed
any interference with the present sur
vey and the members, without knowl-
edge as the oyster question, wisely
deferred to their judgment in the
matter.

Senator Gravatt is patron of a bill
which provides for the establishment
of a branch experimental station and
agricultural high school in each con-
gressional district of the State. The
Object of the bill is to demonstrate to
farmers the advantage of improved
methods of cultivation. The measure
is in conformity with bill now before
Congress providing for Federal aid to
such States as adopt this method.
