Court Clerks Convention.

The Virginia court clerks are to as
semble in the city OF Charlottesville
next week. The organization embraces
every clerk of courts in the state, and
there are some $50 in all. They are or
ganized TO protect their own interests
TO discuss matters pertaining to their
duties and consider questions generally
which AFFECT them and relate to their
official duties. Judge r. T. w. Duke is
TO be one of the principal speakers, as
will also Peter j. Davenport OF Wash
.ngton county. Judge Fishburne is to
welcome the clerks when they get to
Charlottesville
The convention will last for two days.
One of the big questions to be discussed
is Revision of the General Tax Laws"
a subject which is very much alive at
this time. There is fight to revise
the laws and to place the clerks on a
salary basis in lieu of the fee system.
II Is charged that some of the clerks
now receive several times the salary of
the governor each year. all from fees
which are collected from litigants.

Lively Contest Ahead.

Already the lines are being drawn for
one of the prettiest political contests
imaginable next year over in the fourth
congressional district. Former Repre-
sentative Turnbull has already cast his
hat in the ring and Judge Walter A.
Watson, now serving his first term, is
a candidate for reelection. Then there
is Richard Henry Mann of Petersburg
attorney for the commonwealth. who de-
clares that he will enter for the honor.
The three men are all we'll known,
they are all popular and each has a big
following. Mr.. Turnbull and Mr.. Mann
have lead on Representative Watson
in that they are able to take a swing
around and get a line on the situation,
/ while the representative is forced to
spend his time in Washington and look
after the interests of his constituents.
\ 1t will be bitter contest, for last year
Judge Watson only defeated Mr.. Turn
bull by an insignificant majority. which
was contested through the state COM
mittee and the district committee.

Dissatisfied With Environment

Much complaint against the Elks'
Home, in Bedford City, is said to be
voiced by the benefciaries. They are
from all parts of the country, vast
majority of them, in their days of sue
cess, high livers and fond of a good
time. In the picturesque mountain
home they find little of excitement,
amusement or anything akin to their
former method of living. 1t is all quiet
and rest. The place Is one of the health
lest that can be found. There is pure
water and pure air. and the fare is ex-
cellent, according to general report
1t is n fact that those who reside at
the home have been and are writing let
tiers to the lodges with which they were
connected and to their relatives and
friends expressing a desire for a change.
1t is from those sources that the agita-
ton for change of location arose.
Wherever the home may be located II
is claimed by the Virginia Elks the pro-
tests would be the same. Sober second
thought is said to have impressed the
national body that to move the home to
any other place would entail great cost
and produce the same results In short
time. The men want to get close to
some city so that they can get chance
to attend theaters, meet old friends and
participate in the life which was theirs
before entering the home.

Special Correspondence of The Star.

RICHMOND. Va, August Is. 1918.
Eleven days have elapsed since the prim
airy election, and there are many counties
and many precincts missing from the
official returns. In some cases the
county committees have met and can
vassed the returns. In others they
have sent direct from the precincts to
this city. Not one of the packages can
be opened till orders have been issued
by the state committee, and there is no
telling just when the committee will
convene.
Another phase of the matter is that
some of the election officers refused to
give out the figures at their precincts.
The returns We're sealed and put in the
mails. all information being refused. In
Lee county. where defeated candidate
for superintendent of schools is county
chairman, the report the night of the
election showed how the county. had
gone, and vet week after the election
the county chairman wrote to Secretary
Brennaman asking how the returns
should be made and to whom they
should be sent.
MIR. Brennaman has suggested that if
the candidates interested in the returns
will agree for him to open what has
been received he will tabulate. them
and then take steps to get the miss
ing figures. He asks that the candi-
dates will agree to this and have a rep
resentative on hand to witness the count
and to make the figures.
People firing of Elections.
While there was a great clam2r for
the primary election law, the fact is that
the people are firing of it. The last
election showed about 10000 to 65,OGU
votes cast The normal strength of the
democrats in Virginia is more than 1OO,-
600 The truth of the business is. it is
declared. that the people believe there
are too many elections. There are four
in Virginia this year-county and city
primaries for nominating county and
city officers, then the two regular cleo
tons. The people are continually being
beseged by candidates. there are polit-
ical meetings almost weekly and there
is unrest and much feelin"
That there will be an effort to provide
Nor a single primary for nominating all
candidates for counties and cities and
one general election for all Offices will
certainly be made at the next session
Of the general assembly. The people are
demanding a surcease from the multi
plicity of elections. The constitution
will have to be changed to provide for
the one general election for state and
local offices. and legislative enactment
will be necessary for single primary.

years the big chief had defied death on
the warpath. the plains. the mountains,
and the forest. Inclemency of March
weather in Washington, where he
came to attend President Wilson'S in
auguration. was too much for the ola
warrior. When he was stricken last
Wednesday the young chief OF his
party consented to take him to the
pale faced medicine men at hospital,
where it was seen there was no hope.
Hollow Horn fingered In semi con-
scious condition until early today,
when just about the time the breakfast
smoke was curling thru the tops of his
peoples tepees on the Dakota reserva-
ton. the Great Spirit called him to the
happy hunting grounds.
Born a pagan, Hollow Horn died
devout christian. The Rev. William
H. Ketchum, director of the bureau OF
Catholic missions, gave him the last
rites. His body will be laid to rest Win
those of his ancestors out west.
