zeal, or of a purely local character.
fhis resolution also was adopted by

pint resolution, introduced at every
sssion, for the purpose of stemming
he tide of inflowing bills.
On motion of Democratic Floor
eader Willis, of Roanoke city, the
Louse voted to reconsider the Hen
ing bill which would abolish the
eactice of kissing the Bible when be-
II sworn. The measure, which has
e Endorsement of the State Health

Governor Davis has recommended

negro was turned over to him and
conveyed to the Alexandria Hospital

been drinking, according to the off
Ger. He refused to tell where he
procured his liquor. His injuries con-
sisted chiefly of scratches, and upon
