J. A. Culbreth,
Admr. of Wm. Culbreth.
This Jan. 9th 1901.
A case unique in the annals
of Virginia courts was decided
in the Corporation Court, of
Norfolk last week, when a jury
in the case of "Nellie," a pet
dog belonging to Mrs. D. Winn
was adjudged not vicious. The
dog was on trial for its life for
biting 10-year-old Bak
isli. Much evidence was intro
duced by the defense showing
that the dog was not vicious,
and the jury, composed of prom
inent citizens, rendered the
above verdict. Four lawyers,
including the City Attorney ap
peared in the case.—Exchange.
It will probably be a new one
to many pfeople to know that,
under the law of Virginia, if a
dog bites you you can have him
arrested, put on trial before a
jury, of his peers, no, that won't
do, say before a jury of his
countrymen, and have him
hung, shot, imprisoned, fined
or discharged. Who can say
that the dog has not his day in
Virginia.—Durham Baau

The Composition of the Legisla
ture.
\ _____
The Legislature will not con
tain a solitary negro member.
There is not a Republican mem
ber from an eastern or middle
county. The entire Republi
can strength of 25 in both
branches comes from counties
in the eighth and ninth dis
tricts. The senatorial districts
represented by Republicans are
the twenty-seventh, twenty
eielith, twenty-ninth, thirtieth,
thirty-first, thirty-fourth and
thirty fifth. The Republican
strength in the House, 17 comes
from Alexander, Ashe, Cald
well, Cherokee, Clay, Davie,
Henderson, Madison, Mitchell,
Polk, Stokes, Surry, Swain,
Watauga, Wilkes, Yadkin and
Yancey. There are three east
ern Populists and two western
ones. From the eastern and
southern, or cotton-raising
counties, there is a solid Demo
cratic delegation barring the
two Populists from Sampson,
and one from Bladen. There
are in the Senate 27 eastern and
13 western Democrats, and in
the House 65 eastern and 36
western Democrats. All the
Republicans are from the tier
of counties producing grain,
grass, tobacco, fruit and whis
key. The composition of the
Senate is Democrats 40, Repub
licans 7, Populists 3; of the
House, Democrats 101, Repub
licans 17, Populists 2. Of the
50 Senators 14 are lawyers. Of
the 120 members of the House
32 are lawyers, the exact num
ber in the last Legislature.

Who Wouldn't Be a Woman.
Men can't have beautifully
rounded white arms and pretty
wrists.
Men can't have roguish dim
ples to play hide and seek in
their cheeks.
Men can't have long, silky
hair that fluffs and curls in all
manner of pretty ways.
Men can't have dainty little
feet, nor wear pretty shoes to
show them off.
Meu can't have delicate,
white hands, with lots of pretty
rings to make them prettier.
Men can't have handsome,
big open capes all foamy with
chiffons and frills to make them
look a bewitching picture.
Men can't have veils to make
their complexion a fae-simile of
a rose leaf.
Men can't have admiriug
friends bring them boxes of
chocolates and books and flow
ers and all sorts of lovo things.
Men can't have the nerve or
the audacity to bring their fel
lows-in into .a state of abject
slavery by pouts and blushes
and little soft caresses that
make a man wax in the hands
of a woman.
Who wouldn't be a woman,
even he can't vote?
Greensboro Telegram: The
Mt. Vernou Roller Mill, situat
ed one mile from Highpoint, was
totally destroyed by fire Wed
nesday night, together with a
large quantity of flour and
grain. The Mill was the prop
erty of Mr. Duncan Davis, and
was valued at $5,000, which
was insured for $2,500. It is
thought that the fire originated
from a spark from the engine
room. The mill had a capacity
of fifty barrels per day.

Satan Rebuking Sin.
The cheekiest thing that we
have read lately is an editorial
in a Republican paper warning
the people of North Carolina
against Democratic extrava
gance in the administration of
our State Government. .It is
like Satan rebuking sin, and
any Republican talking about
Democratic extravagance in
North Carolina must have the
cheek of a government mule.
The only time that Republic
ans have had control of every
department of our State govern
ment was from 18G8 to '7O, and
never in our State's history has
there ever been such wasteful
extravagance as was during
those two years. Not only was
Republican rule in North Caro
lina conspicuous by its unprece
dented extravagance, but was
disgraced by its many frauds
and open corruption. No man
can deny this, and yet a Repub
lican paper now warning the
people that they may now "look
for an era of extravagance, the
like of which has never been
known in the State 1"
The Democrats pay tho bulk
of the taxes that defray the ex
penses of our State government,
and therefore they are more in
terested in saviiic every expense
than the Republicans, the ma
jority of whom are negroes who
pay very little tax. And, if the
Democrats should bo extrava
gant like tho Republicans were,
they would be extravagant with
chiefly their own money, where
as the Republicans were extrav
agant with the chiefly paid by
Democrats.—Chatham Record.

Suffrage Denied no Man in The »
South.
It is not clear that the provi
sions of the fourteenth amend
ment forbid the limitations
which the Southern States have
put upon the right of suffrage.
Under the constitutions of Lou
isiana, Mississippi, North Car
olina and South Carolina suf
frage is not denied to any citi
zen in the State. Qualifications
are required which are within
the reach of any citizen, and if
he shall fail to accept the condi :
tions requiring him to be able
to read and write, he is exclud
ed bv his own act and not by
the act of the State.
There is not a black man in
one of those States who could
not qualify himself for suffrage
within a year, and very many
Republicans are in hearty ?'C
cord with restrictive laws which
require voters to have some
measure of intelligence to en
able them to exercise the rights
of sovereign citizens. It is quite
probable that the question may
never reach the dignity of ei
ther legal or political determi
nation, as the leaders of the Re
publican party wisely assume
that when suffrage is within
reach of all by simply qualify
ing themselves to read their
own ballots there can be no in
fraction of the supreme law of
the republic.—Philadelphia
Times.
