Liquor Must be Labeled

After January 1st, there can be
no more shipments OF liquors by
express or freight without a lab

ing exactly what the package coz
tains, and it must be addressed &c
the person who bought it. Con.

revised and amended the penal laws
of the United States, and January
lst was fixed as the date for the neN
code t. go into effect. A penalty oil
five thousand dollars and forfeiture
of the liquor is imposed for viola.

The effect of this law will be 10

addition to the penalty against the

LEGISLATURES TO CONvEN E
JANUARY ~

The General Assembly Of Virgini;
will convene in biennial session o.
poou. on Wednesday, January i2th
and will be in session sixty days.
Owing to the vast amount OF bust.
ness to be transacted, it is expected
that the session will be a busy one
from the start.
Probably the very first business
OF public interest will be the elect
ion OF q United States Senator as the
successor OF Senator Daniel. tor the
term beginning March 4, 1911.
There is DO question but that Sena-
tor Daniel will be re. elected with
out opposition. He was nominated
to succeed himself in a State pri-
mary held last summer.
As to action on Statewide prohi-
bition, it is thought that 20 legisla-
ton will be enacted. From straw
vote OF the members OF the Legisla-
ture taken recently by Richmond
newspaper, it is thought probibi.
ton Legislation will not be advocat-
ed, nor will there be a sufficient
number Of supporters to carry it.
Efforts will be made by the domi.
nant party to enact law legalzing
Site primary for the nomination
OF candidates for Office. There APP
pears to be strong popular demand
for such legislation, although many
of the Democratic leaders oppose
such measure.
1t is said that a bill will be intro
duced that will aim at the equaliza-
tion OF taxes in the State. In some
counties tax-dodging is notorious
and shameful. Statistics gathered
BY the Senate Finance Committee
show that in one county, at least,
lands are assessed at an average OF
only so cents an acre, while in other
counties the assessments reach as
high as $l35 an acre. Southwest
Virginia counties seem particularly
reluctant about paying their fair
share OF taxes. Just how the oh
vious evils complained of can be
corrected remains to be seen.
Bills to create the Office OF travel
ling auditor, and to create bureau
of banking. as we'll as looking to
the betterment of the oyster indus
dry will no doubt be introduced.

which Is fraudulent and invalid.
The authority for it rests on the
very old precedent OF court prac-
tice; and no doubt judges would
End the most ample justification in
law if the right were questioned,
especially as there is nobody to de-
C de on their own powers but the
judges themselves.
1t is an indignity for a free citi-

EUREKA LILY
GETS into ORE
South Drift on the Two Hun.
dred Level Breaks Into
Fine Pay Rock.

A strike was made in the Eureka Lily
company's property at Tintie yesterday
morning and samples of the ore were ex-
Pected in from camp last night All that
was known about the character of the
ore at the eompanys offices yesterday
was that 1t was high grade siiver-lead,
if appearances counted for anything.
The strike was made in the south drift
on the 2oo-foot level and about $50 feet
from the shaft. The ore made its APP
pearance first in the bottom Of the drift
and, as 1t sloped back from the face, there
was no means of determining Just what
the strike was going to amount to when
the first word came in BY today, after
another shifts work in the face more will
be known about the quantity and quality
of the rock, though the grade was said to
be all right.
The workings of the Eureka Lily are
Just west Of those of the East Tintic De-
velopment company, in which strike was
made a few weeks ago and, while no such
theory has vet been discussed by the man.
agement. there is a general belief in the
ranks of those who know what Is doing
in the two properties that it is the same
fiSsure that is making the ore in each
company's ground The disclosure is
counted of particular Importance by East
Tintic operators as every strike made in
that section of the camp goes to empha-
size the general opinion that q whole lot
of good mines are going to be made in
the east part of Tintic during the next
few months to a year or two.
