SUFFRAGE MEASURE
IN LEGISLATURE
Those Opposed Confident
Act Will be De-
feated
MAPP TO FIGHT BILL
Each Side to Have Two and One
Half Hours to Present Claims Be-
fore State Senate.

Richmond, Feb. 3.-Limitation CT
debate to five hours, equally split be-
tween the opposing forces, IS the
program planned by patrons of the
Leedy antisuffrage resolution, which
comes before the Senate at 1890
o'clock today. The resolution, which
calls for the rejection of the pro-
posed Susan B. Anthony amendment
% the Federal Constitution, has bt en-
made special and continuing or
der, and leaders of the opposing
camps insist that direct action for or
against the amendmenc will be taken.
Friends of the suffrage amendment
are planning to fight the Lesdy re-
solution to a finish, realizing that its
adoption in the Senate will precipi-
;ate another fight on the floor of the
House, where direct action was avoid
I'd last week by the passage of the
Rev resolution calling for a State
wide suffrage referendum. Senator
Mapp, who has been too i'll for sew
,ral days to occupy his seat, will be
present today to lead the suffrage
eorces.
Senator Lecdy, who is leading the
fight for the rejection of the suffrage
amendment, is confident that h.s
amendmert will go through without
.rouble today. Enough votes to ir-
sure the adoption of the resolution
nave been pledged, the Senator stated
Yesterday. There are eighteen sigma
lures to the resolution of rejection. CT
:ust three less than the number re-
ruired to carry it, providing the ful!
Senate was present and voting.
It has been determined to force a
lime limit on the debate, and it IS
proposed to. give each side two ami
ne half hours in which to present
arguments.

IS 4 FOUR LEAF CLOVER LUCKY

This question asked last evening IN
in ad in the Gazette brings to mind
the old superstition Of the freak Of
the clover. How many of us have not
1T some time in our life searched
lmonr the fields for this rare toker
IF luck. Tt is amusing to find men
who disclaim any belief or super
,tition in the smiles of the goddess of
luck. that they still carry md pro-
sect the frail Iittle clover in purse or
card case and there can hardly be
presented any temptation to make
hem part with it. Maybe there is
10 such thing as luck, good, bad or
lover is joke, but peculiar as It
nay seem, some of the men ard wo-
nen who have made the greatest
success, carry the little token with
hem.
1t may be the daintiness of the
clover that attracts. It's grecnness :
md freshness, or the purity of the
four leaf member. whatever it is,
whether token Of good or bad luck
we know of no one who has ever
'ound one. who has not felt lucky,
After all, luck is nothing but conf:d-
encc, whether it is the gamblers
lunch" or whatever term may be ap-
| ,lied to luck it is confidence, moth
ng else.
| 1t is not surprising that success
| ful men and women carry four leaf
clover. eliminating superstition, II one
feels lucky they win-if the finding
of the quadruple clover promotes that
Feeling Of luck-as it unquest!onahly
loes. 1t is the foundation of confid-
snce and this only needs little cool
linking and some elbow grease TO
Grove the clover is lucky.

WOULD GIVE FEE
OFFICIALS. RAISE
Committee Approves Bill
Which Amends The
West Law
'EQUALIZE EARNINGS
County Officials Would Get Double In
crease Over City Men Through
Proposed Measure.

Richmond, Feb. 3.-Favorable re
ports were made last night by tht
House Finance Committee on two
bills affecting the compensation o.
county and city fee officers. This &C.
ton followed lengthy executive ses.
sion, which. came after several pub
lie hearings.
The first bill reported out was an
amendment to the West fee law, the
effect of which is to place county fee
officers on the same basis as city
officers, and at the same time in
creases the maximum for all officers
$1,000 above the present maximum
for city officers.
AS reported out, the proposed
amendment is consolidation of sew
eral proposals offered in the House
and referred to the Finance Commit
tee. These proposals were submitted
to a special subcommittee, headed by
Delegate n elscn S. Groome, Of
Hampton, which, out cf the mass,
compiled single measure, which it
submitted with a favorable report.
The effect of the proposed amend.
ment will be to give double increase
to those county officials whose fees
now are in excess of the maximum
allowed under the West bill, with but
the single increase to the city Off
scials, Potential earnings of beth are
.equalized under the amendment.
The second bill reported out with
the Committees recommendation for
adoE-!on, restores old rates Of COM
pensation to county treasurers re-
ceived prior to the adoption of tn
new Code, which reduced commis-
sions ON certain collections and dis
bursements. rs.
Under the old law, which it is pro-
posed to restore, the county treas
urers received 5 per cent on the first
$25,O00 of each of three separate
funds, State, school and Board of Supp
eryisors, and 3''1-2 per cent on. all II
excess. The new Code consolidated
the school and Board Supervisors
funds, making $4,000 the maximum
sum on which to compute the PEI
cent fee. instead of $4,000 as in tha
past. The patron of the proposed
bill is Delegate r. H. Willis. Of
Roanoke City.

crerate with the various other cr-
carnations in the city. Practically all
are organized except the citizers he
declared.
J. t. Luckett stated that the cues
tion of forming such an orggn:za-
lion had its birth January y a. the
PNthan Hall. It's purpose he explain
ed was not to antagonize any organ
izaticn. This he said is day of
organization. The speaker referred tc
.he fact that although 200 invita-
tiors had been set out only a small!
proportion responded. He, however.
expressed hope that the future meet
;ngs would be more largely attended.
