NOT IN VIOLATION OF THE
BYRD LAW

In view Of the widespread mis-
understanding of certain prOvis.
ions of the Byrd law, recently en-
noted by the Virginia Legislature.
Judge Thomas w. Harrison, of
Winchester, fas given out the fol-
lowing statement which is in reply
to an urgent inquiry froT a promi.
nent clergyman:
"In my opinion the law does not
forbid the use Of wine aG commun-
icn. One clause of the Byrd law
fOrbids any person from selling or
dispensing Intoxicating liquor on
Sunday, Christmas or election
days. Certain justices of the peace
in Loudnun county and Alexandria
ere reported TO have construed dis
pensing as giving, and fired per
sons for giving drink to friend !
OH Sunday. My Owu Idea of this is
that they are clearly wrong. Tie
words, selling and dispensing
in the particular clause have refer
ence TO the autl GRITTY to sell or dis
Iense IN the other clauses in the
law. Of urse, If the law is tn, t
no one can give drink to a friend,
u clergyman could not give wine

the Byrd law no one can sell hquor |

PRIMARY ELECTION PLAN

The present primsry plan of

in Virginia has been under discus
sion for some time past, and very
papers and public men advo-
cate some modification so that
aspirants for political hon0rs may

excessive cost. Under the present

practically barred from the State

HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING IN
PROSPECT

In our news columns this week
will be seen resolution adopted
by the trustees of Ann Smith
Academy offering to turn over to
the town of Lexington that valu.
able property, provided the town
will erect a suitable high school
building. This action of the trus.
tees meets the approval CT the Lex
ington School Board, and they will
recommend favorable action by
the Lexington Town Council. 1t
is said that suitable building
will cost at least $4,000. This
might appear to be large sum of
money to invest in this way, con-
sidering the limited number of
pupils who will naturally be &C.
ccmmodated; but when it is taken
into consideration that the ex-
penditure of $15, 900 by the town
will secure property valued at
double that amount. the invest.
Eent will not seem en- unwise one.
Moreover, this Improvement will
be in keeping with other lines of
progress suggested and contem-
plated by the Lexington Town ;
Council and also by the Lexington e
Board of Trade. The Council has t
for some time had under considera. !
