farmers free list bill, passed By the
House, and which will be voted upon

formally decided to recommend to the
House today that it ask the Senate for

bill.
The Senate caucus adopted resolu-
ton offered by Senator Bacon, pledging
support to the House free list bill, and

was presented to Warden Garnet, be
refused to honor it. and messenger
was sent to Judge Walter E. Watson,
with a request that he order the priso-

because, on Saturday, Mrs. Chalmers

ZONES AND GLASS STILL DE-
SERTERS.

Representative Mann, the republican
leader in the House, gave notice some
time ago that he would insist on having
a quorum always present in the House
for The transaction Of business. Dir.
Underwood, Of Alabama, the leader OF
the democratic party in the House,
notified democrats that it was exceed
ingly important that every democrat
should be in his place. Carrying out
his threat, Mr.. Mann on Friday had
he roll called three times. The cotton
schedule bill was under con-
sideration and the debate was on
that bill. On that important
occasion and on all three roll calls Mr..
Jones and Mr.. Glass were both ahSent,

speeches in Virginia commencing
themselves for the senatorial Office and
denouncing the democratic party. They

their official duties and responsible

Speaker Clark, who recently gave
IN interview, which was published in

Speaker Clark that he should make a

lady brought her mother to the scene,
and the two scratched and tore at him
aud screamed for assistance, while he
made first stout resistance and then,
becoming frightened, fled.
Weak and hysterical after their ex-
perience, the two women, however,
managed to give the alarm to the
neighborhood, and search was started
with the result that Clarence Nixon,
colorec, about % years old, is now in
the county Jail with a charge OF at
tempted assault hanging over him, and
unless he can prove a better alibi than
the one he has already given to the po-
lice, it is said that he is likely to go to
the electric chair.
Nixon was arrested yesterday morn
ing by Special Policeman Will Culpep-
per, of the county force, and when
taken before the two ladies was
promptly identified by both OF them.
He claimed to have been at home all
during the night, but several gentle
men said that they saw him come out
on the last car for Gilmorton from
Portsmouth, and it was the discrepancy
which caused suspicion to be first cast
on him.

TIE WATER QUESTION.

The summer Of 1911 will 60 down TO

recollection OF the present generation.
There has been but little rain here
about since April, and the few SHOW
ers which have fallen during the sum-
mer have been short-lived and served

sorbed the light rains as soon as lhey
fell. The branches, brooks, wells ana

Of them remain. The double reservoirs
which supply Alexandra with water
have heretofore been ample to supply
all the needs or consumers. But they
have Of late gradually settled down I'M
til the water in them has reached an
alarmingly low stage. The officials OF
the water company weeks ago sus-
gested that, although there was at that
time no reason to suppose water
famine was ir,,n,inent. it would be well
for subscribers not to use any more
water than was absolutely necessary
until rains shall have replenlshed the
sheds. Most users Of Cameron water
paid instant heed to the hint, but some
others, it is said, have not regarded
the reasonable request made in the
interest OF the entire community and
have pleaded in extenuation that the
street sprinkler has been filled by fire
hydrants and that schooner's tank

company. In regard to the street
sprinkler, it can be stated that, under
present conditions, it will not be filled
by Cameron water. The schooner's
tank was filled at time when it was
generally believed the drought was
drawing to close. At any rate the
water in the reservoirs is nearing the
danger point, and it is hoped all will
heed request in which the entire
community is interested.
