Hopewell. Va, Jan. 31.--A fifteen
year-old boy was locked up In the
Hopewell Jail on Sunday on the charge
Iof being drunk and disorderly. Later
his mother appeared. and after the
boy had implicated several Petersburg
saloons in selling him liquor without
asking any questions. she bailed him
and took her son home. She stated
that IL her boy ever became tntoxi-
Gated again that she would prosecute
the men who sell him whiskey. The
boy works at the Dupont plant. and
received his pay Saturday.
The police and militia succeeded in
destroying over 400 gallons of liquor
which was being brought into Hope
we'll in saiteases and other receptacfes
on Saturday night and Sunday. A
strict surveillance was kept at all train
stops by details, but even with all
that, quite a lot of the fre water
got by, and as consequence. there
was considerable drunkenness and dis
order on Sunday.
Private Noblett, of the Danville
lGrays, while searching suitcases at
the passenger station for contraband
liquor, was forced to use his gun over
la mans head, which had the desired
effect of preventing an assault.
The name of the man could not be
learned, as he escaped in the excite
ment, due to q disturbance which oc-
Icurred on the opposite side of the
train with another militiaman, who
called on Private Noblett for aid.
THE unidentified man had a suitcase
filled with whiskey. and when the
Imilitiaman attempted to search 1t, he
advanced on the young soldier in
threatening manner, using very abu-
sive language. Noblett retreated a
step or two and brought his gun down
over his assailant's head with tremen-
dous force. His supply of whiskey
was destroyed.
'Doped" Booze Causes Trouble.

emergency hospital today. both being
picked up unconscious, due, II Is be-
llieved, to "doped" whiskey, which Is

sufficiently gained their senses to give
any connected account of their trou-
hles or how they reached the state in
which they were found.
| One OF the men was picked UP in
DUPONT City by DR.. Tabor. He wears
Dupont check No. 1888. The other
man was found in the woods near the
hospital last night by James Boss and
was later removed to the hospital.
Both have every appearance of being
drugged, but the authorities are OF
| the opinion that the drug was ad-
ministered in whiskey. Several deaths
have been reported in the past few
months, which were believed to be
directly attributable to drugged IL
quor.

Excellent Meeting With Spiritual
Power in Progress at Bible Tnsti-
tute, Opposite City HAL.

The Virginian has been requested
to publish the following:
THE old-time revival spirit is be-
ing manifested in Richmond, as in
days of old, and people are turning
from sin to the living God.
Evangelist b. H. vestal, of Green's
boro. n. c.. a fearless and powerful
preacher, Is demonstrating to an in
terested and appreciative audience
that the old-tme gospel in it's I'M
form has not lost its
power, These meetings remind one
of the Wesley and Welsh REVEALS.
They are like the old-time Methodist
camp-meetings, and such that any
man of God in the evangelical de-
nominations can endorse. Mr.. Vestal
breaches each evening at o'clock In

DAILY PAY DAY WON'T
GO INTO EFFECT TODAY
But DUPONT Company Is Making Ar
engagements Therefor In Order TO
Relieve Serious Business
Concession.

Hopewell. Va, Jan. 31.--A per-
sistene rumor gained wide circulation
today to the effect that on February
l the Dupont Company would estab-
lish the daily payroll system. by pay
ing one-twelfth of the employees of
the plant OF each day. A represen-
tative of The Virginian saw a high Of
fetal OF the DUPONT Company and
made inquiry as to their Intentions.
and was told that ths plan had been
decided on and would be put into ef-
feet at some time in the near future,
but that 1t was not contemplated to
begin paying the thousands of men
under this system so early, az 1t would
take some time to arrange the paw
rolls and classify the employees so as
to gain the best results in adopting
such plan.
Under this system II Is contemplated
that about 1900 or 1900 men will
receive their checks each day for
twelve days until all are paid their BIZ
weekly allowance for services, when
who received their pay first under the
new plan, -
This will work well in many ways,
as 1t will relieve the congestion which
prevails now at the regular paydays
in all lines of business. The banks
Y IL be enable to handle the checks
OF employees, and they viii not be
forced to trade them to check shavers
and grant a percentage for the favor.
in Hopewell, Richmond and
Petersburg will be In better position
to wait on the trade, and above all,
dip. and others who prey on the
DUPONT employees when 10000 men
receive heir pay in a single day will
find their opportunities lessened.
