FROM THE HE'LL BOX

Bill Nye had the truth well
told when he said: "A man may
use the wart on the back Of his
neck for collar button: ride on
the back coach of a railroad train
TO save interest on his money till
the conductor gets around; stop
his watch at night to save wear
and tear; leave his i" or IT.
without dot or cross to save
the ink: pasture his mothers
grave to save corn; but man Of
this sort is a gentleman and a
scholar compared TO the fellow
that will take newspaper two
or three years and then refuse
to pay for it."--Exchange.

BOND ISSUE FIGHT
STIRRING VIRGINIA
Candidates for Legislature
Take Positions on Heat
ed Question.
Special DIspstch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star
RICHMOND. Va, June With a
little more than sixty days before the
primary TO name members of the
legislature. the fighting in some sec.
tons is growing interesting while in
others'it is lethargic.
One of the striking cases is that OF
Senator c. O'Conor Goolrick Of Fred
ericksburG. who is being opposed by
w. w. Smith OF Louisa The road
bond question is responsible for the
candidacy of Mr.. Smith to considera-
bic extent. Mr.. Smith is in the game
district with Senator Goolrick, and
Louisa county is said TO be over
Vhelmingly against bonds as are
others of the counties making up that
district. Senator Goolrick has been
one OF the champions of the bond
issue.
Wet and Dry Fight.
Over in the Northern Neck DR. Mann
is see king TO oust Senator Thomas J.
Downing of Lancaster. but that par
ticular fight is along the old lines Of
prohibitionist, and Senator Downing
is an open wet champion
Ihere are few instances in which
the old member. who voted against
bonds have opposition, but in the
brunswick -MeckIen burg district there
is opposition 10 Senator William H
Jefreys, jr,. of Mecklenburg, by DR.
{. l.. Palmer Of Brunswick. an anti
bond man. but ii is not due as much
to the opposition To the position OF
senator Jefreys as to the plan, which
has obtained for a number of years
whereby the senator was rotated from
one county to the other whereas SEN
ator JefreyS has had two consecutive
terms, and the opposition is relying
as much on the equities of the situa-
tion as anything else.
Gave Up Race.
The fact is that Maj Marvin
Smithey. an avoWed champion of
bonds, announced that he intended TO
make the race, and was for private
| reasons forced to abandon his pur-
pose
In the last two or three weeks there
have been statements and converse
tlons regarding the situation. and the
belief of those who are best informed
and some of these are state on
cers-is that the majority against the
bond issue will be not less than 10000.
many placing the figure at just double
that. Here in Richmond, where IL
has been held that all the vote will
be one way. there is candidate for
the senate nd one for the house, who
are outspoken against the proposition,
ana from expressions heard daily
the belief is that the vote here will
be much heavier against bonds than
is expected by the Good Roads Asso-
citation.
The advocates of paying as roads
are built are stressing the fact that
if the bonds are issued the gasoline
tax will have to be retained at least
in part. and that there will necessar-
lily follow an increase in taxes TO meet
interest and redemption OF the bonds.
And owners of property along the
state highways will have to pay great
increase in their values because of
proximity TO the roads.
