Stafford county, Va, took place yester-

That New Office.

Some of Mr.. Byrd's friends in Rich
mond are talking as follows:
"The position pays $1,000 a year,
and there is no one who will
admit that Mr.. Byrd accepted the posi-
ton because of the attractiveness of the
salary. Had he been required to relin-
quish his practice in order to accept
the appointment, it is not believed that
he would have even considered the
matter. He has for years been at the
head of the bar in the Valley of Virgin
il, has an office here and is enjoying a
lucrative practice. Should he engage
to discharge the duties of the position
to which he has been named it would
not in any way involve his private
practice but he would be free to attend
to that so long as he saw fit"
''The people of the State will resent
this appointment" said an official in
the city man who has been in office
for years and who is one of the men
who has always spoken the language
of the tribe. He added: 1.-THE manner
in which it was passed, being hidden
in the appropriation bill, passed on the
last night OF the session, when there
was no discussion of the matter, when
| few knew that there was snch a thing
the bill, and the appointment of 9
|
member of the general assembly to the
place so provided, will be difficnlt O.
explanation to the satisfaction of thu
voters.

CRITICISM OF APPOINTMENT
MANY THINK SPEAKER BYRD SHOULD
NOT HAVE ACCEPTED.

MANY THINK SPEAKER BYRD SHOULD
NOT HAVE ACCEPTED.
Richmond, Va, April 19.-Many peO
pie here and in this section are openly
criticising the appointment of Speaker
Richard E. Byrd to the position of spe-
ciaI counsel for state institutions and
departments, some claiming the place
is nothing less than a state office and
that Speaker Byrd has no right to ac-
cept such an appointment.
One state official yesterday said the
position looked to him as if it were
simply created for Mr.. Byrd. Others
who are claiming he should not accept,
are close personal friends and support
ers of the Speaker.
One attorney has made the statement
that test case may be made of the
matter in the courts, and predicts that
someone-a republican-may take the
matter up thus. 1t is thought and ex-
pressed by many that if he accepts the
appointment Mr.. Byrd, who has been
a favorlte in Virginia political circles
for years, will kill his political career.
Governor Mann when asked regard
ing the matter stated that he did not
see how the position could be regarded
as state office. He takes the stand
that if Mr.. Byrd is simply subject TO
the assignments given him by the atss
torney-general and the governor, and
is free to continue his law practice, he
sees no construction of the law which
makes the position an office.

Rhode Island, has sent letter to Gov
ernor Aram J. Pothe1r, of that state,

struct the currency system of the coun-
try" says the senator. Senator Hale

of Highland county, treasurer of the
county for twenty-four years, and
cashier of the First National Bank of

Look for Drop in Prices.

New York, April 19.-Close observers
of the food products market today ex-
pressed belief in the probable speedy
setting in of an era of lower prices for
foodstuffs. "The wish may in some
degree be father to the thought SAID
one provision man, t'as lower prices
would help us as well as the consumer,
but the tendency of prices is just now
Enthusiastically downward. 1t seems
to me entirely reasonable for. the peo-
pie to look for drop in the retail
prices of beef and pork in short time.
The plentitude of grain has forced the
farmer to feed it to- his cattle, which
are waxing fat and which must be
put on the market.
