VOTE FOR THE BONDS.

Senator Lsssiter's speech at Spot
syivsnis G. II. last Monday was IN
answersble and convinced even the
skeptics that Spotsylvanls county
cannot afford to vote down the bond
issue at the election on May 18th.
He made IL clear shat Berkeley and
Livingston districts have nothing
TO lose and everything 80 gain by
voting for the issue; that Courtland
and Chancellor by voting isvOrab'y
can get forty-three miles of perms-
nent roads without increasing taxes;
that the present road fund OF each
district will take care OF both interest
and sinking fund and still leave q
balance over for maintenance of the
roads improved and unimproved;
that Is is far better so capitalize the
road fund by Issuing bonds and
securing permanent roads than 30
waste shat road fund year
after year, without obtaining any
beneficial results; that il is folly for
the farmers TO continue year after
year TO pay the mud tax, which Gov.
Swanson a short time since said was
the heaviest tax they have 80 bear,
and finally that good roads In Spot
sylvania will be splendid advertise
ment for the county and double ex-
listing bond values. The question OF
progress win be put squsrely up TO
the people Of the county on May Is.
We urge them after careful study
OF the question and with a firm be-
lief in the wisdom OF the advice TO
vote for progress on election day.
Don't let it go forth 10 the State and
country that a county, such as Spot
sylvsnia Is, free of debt and rich in
resources has cast her lot with those
who prefer TO lag behind the pro-
cession. Let every voter give this
matter careful study and cast his
ballot with an eye single to the pros
perity of his county.

IF the Japanese government proves

II would be doubly incumbent upon US

There is no doubt about the fact
shat our tax laws, or the manner Of
their execution, should be changed.
There is really more need for a change
In their execution than in the laws
themselves. The assessment OF per-
sonal property in Virginia is notori-
ously erroneous and detective, and
instead OF being able to look for I'm
provement in this vital matter, the
situation is apt 30 grow worse. In
der the whip and spur OF popular
elamor the last Legislature made
commissioners OF revenue elective by
the people, in the place OF being ap-
pointed by the Circuit Judge.
This places the commissioner oil
revenue again in the political whirl
where ne Is dependent upon his pop
ularity for reelection. Is is easy to
see that matters will go from bad to
worse until some remedy is applied
We believe that as far sspossible the
people ought to directly select theiI
own officials, but there are some ex
ceptions that ought to be made &c
the rule. Nothing would tend NOR,
to uniformity Of assessment OF per
sonal property than the removal o
commissioners Of the revenue from
politics. We hardly expect she Leg
islature TO rectify this evil. but It s.
well worthy OF their consideration.

Unmarried Msn-niss Ella Boyle,
Sister Of Abduetor. the First Wit
ness.
Mercer Pa. May flames Boyle.
charged with kidnapping Billy" Whit
Ia. WAS convicted after a trial lasting
but a few hours No defense was made
and the jury was out but fen min
utes. Mrs. BOYLE. indicted under the
name OF Mary Doe. with half a dozen
aliases. was Immediately placed upon
trial. charged with aiding and aoet-
ting the kidnapping.
The tirst witness called by the state
in Mrs. Boyle's case was Miss Ella
Boyle. a sister Of James Boyle. Appar-
entity. from the line Of questioning. the
prosecution wanted to prove by her
that the kidnapping conspiracy was
formed while Mrs. Boyle was visiting
in Sharon with her husband and that
she was implicated in It. 1t is sur
missed the object OF this is to overcome
her contention that she could not have
violated law in this state while she
was living in Ohio.
From the earnestness with which
the defense opposed the questions ask.
ed il is believed a great deal will de
pend upon the courts decision as 70
the admisSibility OF the testimony In
dispute. Mrs. Boyle took a prominent
part in the selection OF her jury.
prompting her attorneys in numerous
cases and evidencing a preference for
young. unmarried Jurors.
Boyle offered No Defense.
That Boyle's trial came to such an
state had rested. was due to the fact
that so strong a case had been made
against him From the night before
the abduction. when he was seen in
Sharon. til the time OF his arrest in
Cleveland. almost every movement he
made was testified to by one or more
witnesses \ man who hired him a
horse and buggy. another who saw
Boyle driving with Billy" in the bug
gy. the barber who saw the two to
gether and shaved Boyle's moustache
on. train and electric railway conduc-
tors who saw the couple on their way
to Cleveland and identified them in
court. all told stories which fitted in
perfectly with that OF BILLY" Whitla
and left no doubt as 10 the part Boyle
had taken in the case
When the state rested. counsel for
the defense held a conference and an
nounced that they would offer no evil
dence. The court at once summed up
the evidence gave the case to the
jury and verdict was agreed upon Ia
a few minutes.
The penalty is from one year to a
life sentence in the penitentiary. Sen
tence has not been pronounced yet
