cost for inmates in the hospital was less
that %thirty-two and one-hal gallons Of
whisky were used in the Institution, and
that he does not see that liquor is bene-

One is continually hearing the report
that the word has gone forth that the
time has come for the democrats of The
state to recognize the demands of the
anti-liquOr element and to pass the b,l
which will permit the people of Virginia
to vote on the liquor question ut The ses-
sion OF the legislature, which begins here
IN January. Or course, no one who may
have seen u letter containing such il
declaration will so declare, but the re-
ferences to the Changed conditions are

decided against the state. 1t is from this
that the sac has appealed in he cases Of
the gas works, the electric plant, the
water works and the buildings owned by
Richmond and in the case OF the Lynch
burg Young Mems Christian Association.
In the latter case the contention is that
the renting Of rooms is not a part of the
work of the association, and such being
the case, tie association must pay taxes
to the state for engaging in private bus
court at the winter term to begin here
November. II and will be watched with
interest.
