AIENANnRTA VA nT~T ~


By the failure of three of the Demo-
cratic nominees to file with the clerk of
the corporation court of Alexandria a
sworn statement that they would be
candidates for the Offices for which
they were nominated. in the general
election to be held next Tuesday, their
names will not appear on the official
ballots, and, in order for them to be
elected. voters will be compelled to write
their names on the ballots or to use
stickers which may be provided. The
three candidates are ]. Fred Birrell,
who was nominated as a member of
the house Of delegates of Virginia in a
primary held last June. Charles s.
Swain and Carter II. Smith, who were
declared the nominees of the party for
the positions of measurer and inspector
Of humber and measurer and inspector
of wood and bark. respectively.
The failure Of the candidates to file
their statements was not discovered un-
til yesterday when the official ballots
were received by the electoral board
from the printer and Il was found out
that the names of these had not been
inserted. A hurried consultation was
held between the members of the board,
the city Democratic committee, Judge
away of the corporation court, but 1t
was found that there was no way by
which the names could be inserted. The
s ate law proscribes that each candi-
date must file his name twenty days
before the election and no one has the
power to add a name after the time for
fling has expired.
New tickets were ordered from the
printer which will have the name of
the office printed, with a blank space
underneath, which can be used by the
voters to write in the name of the can
didate.
A sweeping victory for the people of
Alexandria city and Fairfax county
came before the State corporation court
in Richmond yesterday, when that body
decided the long drawn out fight against
the Southern railway and the Washing
ton Southern railway, by requiring the
two defendant companies to at once
eliminate the Telegraph road grade
crossing. one mile west of the city
limits, and substitute therefor an under
ground crossing, which Is to be paved
with good material and properly
drained.
The underground crossing will elimi-
nate one of the most dangerous grade
crossings in the State, where there
have been a large number Of accidents.
The Telegraph road, which is the high
way between Washfnstna, Alexandria,
and Richmond, has been in existence
for more than 100 years. It Is at pres
ent crossed by seven railroad tracks.

other things. the swift Potomac will
be full of drift and dynamited rings,
the high protectionists will whine
their gloomy forecasts of collapse, and
the income tax will come in fine for
stopping Democratic gaps.
The first 20 days of May will be
under the influence of Taurus the Bull.
the second sign of the zodiac. People
born under this sign are not easily ex-
cited. and do not think there will be
airy war with japan. They make ex-
cellent neighbors. and keep their
chickens in their own gardens. They
are very even tempered, and almost
always stay married. Taurus babies
below a good deal. but they are re-
sourceful and brave. and can usually
take care of themselves while their
mothers are at the club meeting.
The last 10 days of May will be un-
der the influence of Gemini the Twins.
Persons born under this sign are very
keen-witted, and understand currency
revision. Gemini men love harmony,
and always give their wives the last
word. They are very thrifty, and
will pay big income tax. They are
fair minded, and endorse the Presi.
dents sugar schedule.
There will not be much marriage or
giving in marriage in May. This Gus
tom dates back to the time of Euclid
the mathematician. He found that un-
der the inufence of Gemini the dis
position to save was such that persons
married under that sign of the zodiac
got almost no wedding presents, and
it became customary to wait until
June, when the conditions in this re-
spect are peculiarly favorable. A few
people who can afford to buy their
own presents will marry anyway, but
the masses will wait.
And then sweet June will come to
cast
It's spell of sweet endeavor,
And love. true love. will vow to last
Forever and forever.
