HIGHEST Authority on Validity OF
Election for Town Bonds


The question OF the valloitV Vi ]
the election in June last authorizing {
the Town Council to issue oonos 1
for street Improvement having oeen =
questioned in some quarters ana |
several contributed articles having :
appeared in the County News ais
Guessing the question, the following i
opinion from former AttorneY-1en :
oral William A. Anderson, when
orinion has been held and main
tanned by Mr.. Hugh A. White ana
Town Attorney f. Morgan Penoie-
ton. will set at rest any doubts on
the subject. The validity OF the
election was not seriously ques-
toned by many people OF Lexlng-
ton. and the few who took that we"
will now certainly accept the opin-
ION from the aforementioned prom
inent lawyers as final.
Mr.. Pendletons letter, emorac-
ing Mr.. Anderson's opinion, ao-
dressed to the County News, is as
follows:
Mr.. ED1ToR:-I have read, atten-
lively. the articles in your paper
signed Justice, Fair Play and Hugh
A. White. on the question OF issu-
ing bonds by the Town. My hrst
impulse was to reply to the article
signed Justice, but on reflection
decided not 10 do 1t, as l was the
attorney for the Town and having
advised with the Council through
ont. I felt that anything l might
cav would necessarily be taken cum
Orano sails; and, therefore, l ad
vised the Council to ask Mr.. VIM
A Anderson for his opinion on tn
noints raised by Justice, and TIT
Council authorized me TO do so.
supqested Mr.. Anderson, becaus
of his conspicuous ability, he hav
ing been attorney for the Town 10
number of years and also Attor
ney-General for the State OF Virgin
ia. and also because of the hig
opinion, generally, most Justly bel
OF his ability.
Owing to numerous other engage
ments, Mr.. Anderson was unao
to give me definite answer unit
the night of the goth, inst
His opinion is very full and e.
haustive; but unfortunately is rat
err long to ask you to publish 1t
length.
I therefore make the following g
tract from it, and will say to ar
one interested, that if they will CT
on me or Councilman S. o. Cam
bell we will gladly show the OPT
ion to them. MIR. Anderson says:
My conclusion upon the dishn
question submitted to me is. tt
the notice given of the special eit
ton held in the Town OF LeXlngt
on the 10Th of June, 1910, satisf
the requirements of the law, a
was a valid and sufficient notice.
Il deem it proper to add that
such defense could be made by
Town against such negotiable c
non bonds as it proposes to issue
those bonds declare upon their IL
as thew doubtless will, that t
have been issued pursuant to
sanction duly given by the vo
of the town at valid election
for the purpose of obtaining S
authority" f. NJ. PENDLEro

To Clear VINEGAR Cruets.

To keep a vinegar cruet shining
and clean is not easy, as many a
housewife can testify. The neck Of
the cruet being narrow, usual bottle
cleaning methods are futile.
After washing the bottle with hos
soapsuds and rinsing thoroughly a
few hard beans can be inserted in the
bottle, which is then almost filled
with water, to which a few drops Of
ammonia have been added. Shaking
the beans around will remove incrus-
tation from the sides.
A long-handled paint brush with a
fill, thick but not broad brush, is ex
: client to clean out cruets. 1t caA
De dipped in a solution OF soda or
borax.
One h~ousekeeper saves and dries
ner egg shells and puts them in her
cruets, which are half filled with
soapy water. After shaking thor
oughly. until the bottles are clean,
the cruets are washed and rinsed
with cold water, followed by hot wa
ter.

Pictures for the Nursery.

Pictures for the nursery should b
bright, though not too much so. One
can get pretty prints in pink, blue
brown and yellow. 1t is possible tn
get baby pictures of great beauty ana
they only need a passe-partout bind
Ing to make them suitable for dec,
rating a room. 1t would be a gooc
idea to have a kodak and take the
children's pictures in everyday al
tire, in their Sunday best, at play, at
work, asleep and wide awake, pout'
ing, laughing and in every mood, thor
use these pictures as a frieze in the
room. They can all be done in kodab
colors, or made into blue prints. The
latter is NJ y lasting, yet look pref
ty on a W, tpapcred wall.

tention to the act passed by the gen.

loa1ing of baggage has been sent
to all of the roads of the State.
The following is the section re-
ferred to: "All railroad companies
shall provide such means or appli-
ances as may be necessary to secure
the careful handling and prevent in
jury to baggage. At all stations
where no proper appliances are sup
piled the baggagemaster shall have
such assistance from the train hands

handle the baggage without injury to
same. That all functional points

Why Not Thls2

Have you aver been delaye
hours in a railroad station and "a
peeled to remain in the dreary place
without a companion, with nothing
but old papers and magazines for d.
version? Few persons who travel
have not encountered this situation.
Why can not a bulletin be printed
to indicate places Of interest In the
city or town, with directions as to how
to reach those places, and those signs
be hung In plain view in the stations?
This Is work which could be done by
the women's clubs In a city. OFTEN
one has a long, tedious wait, n II
would, indeed, be pleasant 70 get out
into the city and see one, If no norer
Of the important places, and OF print
ed instructions were right In view
the timid would not hesitate to go out.
Give US also the names Of respectable
restaurants. One might get these
places to advertise on the bulletin,
which would pay for printing it. How
UldHy SlIduSe WOliOu oioAo va "N
children know where to go for q
luncheon in a strange city? Some &c
into the nearest plcce around the de-
pot, not always the most cleanly
places, and often in not very respect
able districts. A timid traveller will
suffer in silence before asking ques.
tions, and it seems this bulletin could
be made 80 very useful that it would
be a good plan tc lave such a one
printed and placed in every station
where waits are possible. One Of the
dreariest days l ever spent in my life
was at a station with nothing to read
but a copy of the Johnstown flood, a
5ackless book discovered in the ope'
rator's desk. Yet there was a library
within TEL minutes car ride, and not
an official at the station or any OF
Inc loungors knew where it was 10
Gated. l doubt II some Of them knew
the city had q library at all.

sWINDLING THE NEGROES.
A White Rascal Arrested While At
a Negro Church.

A dispatch to the News and Cou-
rier says a white man was arrested
Wednesday in a negro church about
a mile below Cross Hill, explaiing
to the negroes a great scheme or
lending them money at 5 per cent
interest.
It seems that a man was around
some two or three months ago and
arranged everything with the ne
groes, and this man vas to receive
the commissions, and the money was
to be let to the negroes later. He
told the negroes ELL m0'zweOGo
told the negroes a woman died n
the North some time ago and left
s50,0O0,0O0 to be loaned to the ne
groes at S per cent interest, but they
were to pay as a matter of good
faith so much money down before
the money could be gotten, according
to their rating, according TO the
property they had, some paying
s13.25, $50, $50 and $50.
He was just about ready to re-
celye their money when Officer Lane
| and Policeman Koon arrested him,
He Is being tried now before Mag
istrate Culberson, at Cross Hill. He
was at a negro church Tuesday, ano
1t is said took in a good deal oil
money from the negroes. The man
had an appointment Thursday at q
large negro church some five miles
from Cross Hill, where he would
doubtless hove gotten more money,
as the negroes are well to do"
