convened and handed down its opinion
that the law was unconstitutional,
three of the four judges concurring.

the Palladium was sold to DR.. I. S.
Drake of Xenia, Ohio. The doctor was
printer by trade before he became
an NJ. D., and had also at one time
been connected with newspaper.
Previous to coming to Richmond he
had been at the head of private
bank. which had failed. He came in
to the work department OF the Pal.
ladium, and almost from his first en-
trance succeeded in winning the con-
tempt and i'll will of all the employees,
and also that of Daddy Ben" as Mr..
Davis was kindly spoken of by the en-
ployes
being member of the household
of Mr.. Davis, who with his family had
always been very kind to me, there
was a mutual dislike between Dr.
Drake and myself, which developed in
occasionally in a demonstration of ill
feeling that served to further that be-
tween DR.. Drake and Mr. Davis. But
the partnership existed for the better

tired and purchased the Courier at

by the school fellows of young Schiller
into an organization which was foster
