This measure is similar to the
Florida law, which requires all who
carry pistols or revolvers to register.
This registration, however, does not
give them the right to carry them
concealed and the law is operative
against even these should they con-
ceal their weapons. The law does
not allow the carrying of these wea-
pons unconcealed unless the party
doing so has first registered.

ATTENDANC AT
HIGH WATER MARK
Blacksburg High School Is
Crowded to Its
Capacity.

Blacksburg, Va. November 5.--Thc
attendance at the Blacksburg High
School has reached the 800 mark,
considerable increase over that of last
session. In the high schooi depart
ment proper there are eighty pupils,
INST double the number of last year,
and thcrc are nearly 100 in the prl-
mary grades necessitating halliday
sessions for many of the children, anu
crowding the rooms far more than IS
comfortable This. too, in spite OF the
fact that when the new building was
erected several years ago, and the
teaching force increased, 1t was
thought that educational facilities had
been provided for many more years
than have elapsed since then.
The principal OF the school for this
session is Miss Emma S. 4efby. OF
Norfolk. reelected from last year, with
the following assistants: Miss Mary
stephens, OF Cambria, honor graduate
of the Farmvillc Normal, and later
doing special work at Cornell Unlver-
sity: Miss Phyllis Deadrick. of Chris
tiansburg, graduate of the Womans
College in Richmond; Miss Mary Ma
thews. of Blacksburg. a graduate OF
the virginia tefnale institute Ill bl is
toll; Miss Laura Miller and I..,ss Eliza
be TIL Woolwine, or Blacksburg, the last
two having charge of the primary
grades, and successful teachers in the
school before.
During the vacation number OF
changes were made for the comfort /,
and health of the pupils and teachers.
Water is now piped from the V. u. +
reservoir into the school grounds and ,
each child is required to bring an In /
diyilual drinking cup; an office has
been arranged for the principal and a |
rest room for the teachers. cloak
rooms were added and the entire build
ing thoroughly renovated. Music. as
2 feature OF the child's education, Is
not overlooked, and in a room set
apart for that purpose, those who wish |
st have instruction daily under Miss /
Clara Peck. of the Womans College.
at Lynchhurg.
The increase in the attendance at
this school is some Indication OF the i
growth of the town and community
during the past ten years or more. al
though the combination of several OF
the country schools and the work of
the present superintendent of schools,
j. II. Stephens, has contributed not Il
little to the present condition. People
of all classes are demanding the very
best possible education for their chill
dren. the old time methods Will not
do any longer, and. that this Is not
to the towns alone, Is shown I
by the establishment within the past
two years of high schools in the coun- |
~ districts. remote from the railroad.

NEWARK OFFICIALS
 ARE NOT INDICTED k Grand Jury Reports in the Case
 of the Lynchers <s.
NO LAW TO COVER CASE
Ohio Has No Law to Punish m Omcial for Incompetency
 While in office

Newark, Ohio, September 1.-In a final jury places the responsibility for the lynching of Dry" Detective Carl Ether ington, on July 8, on the then mayor of Newark. sheriff of Licking county and chief of police of Newark, all of whom have since resigned or been deposed.
 The report says had the officials acted with reasonable diligence the riots and lynching could have been prevented.
 "A total of 5S indictments was returned by the grand jury in the 27 days of It's sitting, all In connection with the lynch ing. Of these 25 charge the alleged riot CTS with murder in the first degree, 21 are accused of rioting, 10 with assault and two perjury.
 The grand jury's report says In part:
 'rOur investigation discloses:
 That the outbreak of lawlessness is directly attributable to the total and ab- solute failure on the part of officers to perform their duty
 That the sheriff failed to exercise the power and authority vested in him in Quelling the riot or in dispersng the mob.
 That a lawless mob ran riot through out the day on the public streets, en- gazing in assaults upon citizens. all of which was done without hindrance or ef- fort at hindrance on the part of the sheriff or mayor and the chief of police.
 That a time when the riot was cul- minating in an attack on the Jail the sheriff cowardly deserted his post and left the jail and it's inmates unprotected.
 That the mayor. who WIS present and had personal knowledge that the mob was attacking the jail, deliberately left the scene of the riox and went to his home and to bed.
 That the chief of police, together with the police force, put forth no effort to prevent the outrage.
 That after the chief had visited the Jail and saw the attacks no orders or in- structions were given by him to the eight or ten policemen, then present. to disperse the mob, but, on the contrary, he left the jail yard and while the iron doors of the jail wers being battered down, and while the man Etherington was being taken from ths jail and hanged at the corner of the courthouse square, this man, wearing the uniform of chief of police, was then at a nearby grocery and saloon in company with others en- gagged in social game of cards.
 'It is further disclosed that the sheriff, mayor and chief of police did not favor law enforcement, and that they were un- der the control and domination of law less element from which the mob was composed. r
 Unfortunately under the laws of this state cowardice and incompetency are not crimes. therefore, as against these officials, no criminal indictments are re- turned and the recurrence of such con duct on the part of public officials can only be prevented by The election of hon est, courageous and competent men to public office.

AMATEUR TARGET
 RECORD BROKEN

Chicago, September 1.-Jay R. Graham of Long Lake, H., broke the worlds anna teur target record today when he went out with AT straight at the final days shoot of the Chicago grand handicap tour nament at the grounds of the Chicago Gun club. Graham really broke 432 tar gets without miss. but IS of these are eliminated because they did not come on the programme. He got nine unfinished on Monday in practice, and he broke six this morning in tuning up for the contest
 It was the unlucky thirteenth bird in the eighth event today which got away from the eagle eye of the great wing shot. He had gone 15 events of 15 targets each without a miss, giving him 105 straight. He started on the eighth event with 12 straight. The thirteenth was a left quartering disk, which took an extra jump just as Graham pulled the trigger, and he shot under it. Graham finished up this event and the one following without a miss. The former amateur mark was 366 by Dan O'Connel of San Antonio, Tex, and made recently in a registered Texas shoot.

LIGHTNING FOLLOWED HIM
This Negro Was Struck Twice in Same
 storm, But Not Hurt
From the Atlanta Journal.

From the Atlanta Journal
 Lightning never strikes twice in the same place. but it came near doing it the other day in the case of the negro who frmerly ran the lawn mower over the golf course at East Lake.
 This lawn mower Is much larger than the kind used in other places where the commuter lives. and is drawn by two mules. The other day one of those sud den miniature cloudbursts which have been common of late came up, or rather down. and with it bolt of lightning.
 The bolt hit one of the mules, knocked him down and under the other mule and stunned the driver. Wher Inc driver re- covered his senses he h. a marathon around the lake and " ,ia up in the boathouse. Closing the door tightly, so that 1t would be perfectly dark there, the negro dived into the furnace room
 He was a sem.-rellgious negro a lawn mower by necessity and in the flesh, but a pastor in spirit. This latter ambition. about which he had never been sure, be- came strong in him now, and he began to pray
 Scarcely had he begun when a second bolt hit the furnace room roof, tore hole in 1t and slid down the pipes The negro jumped to his feet. knocked down several boats. tore through the window and leaped over the wire fence inclosing the club grounds like college high jumper
 He never stopped running, chroniclers say, until he was out of breath. Then he rendered his resignation to the club off cials and joined the ministry.
 Incidentally neither he nor the mule was hurt by the lightning.

ALL BANKS READY
 FOR EMERGENCY
Law Provides Certain Kinds of
 Notes for Issue
ENDORSEMENT OF BANK
tnry Macveagh, Must He an In- dofsed Note Given in Finan-
 cia1 Transaction

Washington, September 1.-secretary
 MacVeagh's ruling on the tenn "com-
 mercial paper" in the treasury depart
 ment interpretation of the emergency cur
 rency law, became known in it's full inn port here today. Business men and banks | throughout the country have been anx- iously waiting for 1t. The Chicago banks, which raised the question, and banks all
 through the west felt that if it were ad-
 verse they would be unable to form eff fective currency associations The way
 now is made clear for the banks of the United States to put into circulation $500,- 900, 900 in emergency money at the first sign of a financial stringency. The law provides that commercial paper
 upon which emergency currency may be issued shall include only notes represent ing actual commercial transactions which
 shall bear the names of at least two reputable persons and have not more than four months to run.
 A large proportion of the banks hold
 the notes of reputable individuals and cor porations which have been bought from note brokers These notes bear only the name of the maker. Secretary MacVeagh has decided that the indorsement of the holding bank upon such notes will con- stitute the second indorsement which the | law calls for
 MT. MacVeagh also holds that notes is sued by reputable persons for the carry ing on of bonafide business, and which are discounted at banks, represent actual commercial transactions and are distinct from what is known as accommodation paper. The latter is strictly barred from being used as the basis of an issue of
 emergency currency.
 In making a liberal interpretation of
 the term commercial paper,' the Secre-
 tary of the Treasury holds it to be what
 the banks themselves consider it, and has endeavored to construe the law so as to
 meet the needs of the business and finan- cial world.
 Thirty years ago, It Is pointed out, note which was taken for a mere loan to de- positor might not have been held to rep resent an actual commercial transaction, while a note given by a farmer for the purchase of threshing machine would.
 Nowadays business men take the method of selling their notes to brokers and talk
 ing advantage of the discounts by paying
 cash for their discounts, and under such
 bona fde transactions the treasury holds
 they are good for the basis of emergency currency.
 Bankers in the east. where commercial
 paper of this description is not so largely
 used, already have organized This de-
 cision removes bar which has held the
 banks of the whole west from following.

MEMPHIS MOGULS
 SEEK A MANAGER

Memphis, September 1.-(Special. )-Pres- ident F. P. Coleman has returned from a trip to Chicago. where he had long talk with Charles Murphy of the Cubs, the topic being the possibility of getting one of the Cubs as manager of the Fur ties in 1911. Coleman admitted the secret trip, but would not state what was the outcome. The best tip is that Tom Fisher of Atlanta will be the next Memphis man. ager. When questioned President Cole man said: Nobody knows what I'm going to do but myself, but you are nearer the point than any one" So 1t looks as If Red Tom has the best of the going for the job
