Daughters of "War of ISI2.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Please answer these questions in the
Sunday's Dispatch:
1. Are the daughters of soldiers who
fought in the war of ISI2 termed daugh
ters of the Revolutionary war?
2. Are they entitled to join the society
of Daughters of the Revolution?
. .3. Was the war of ISI2 termed the Revo
lutionary Avar?
A DISPATCH READER.
To all these questions the answer is no.
so far as we are informed, though the
war of 1812 is sometimes called the se
cond war for independence. There is a
society called "United States Daughters,
1512," the requirements for admission v to
which are as follows: "Any woman over
IS years of age of good character, and a
lineal descendant: of an ancestor who ren
.i3eisd civili. military, or naval service du
ring the war of ISI2, or the period of the
causes which led to that war (subsequent
to the Revolution), may be eligible to
membership, provided the applicant be
acceptable to the society."
TJie Largest County.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In the Query column of the Dispatch,
dated January 30th. answering th e query
"Our Largest County." you give Augusta
as the county of greatest area— 9so square
miles. ™ - ■-.
In February, 1597, I had an argument
on "this -subject with some:friends, which
caused me to make an. investigation,
which resulted as follows:: -According to
the Commissioner's books," there are in
Pittsylvania county (not including Dan
ville) 032,515 acres. I do not know the
number of acres in Danville, but suppose
there are about 2,000.. This would give.
Pittsylvania county an- area of about 990
square miles. According to the Commis
sioner's books, there are in Augusta . coun
ty 017 743 acres (not including Staunton.
Wavnesboro'. Basic City, Greenville, Mt.
Sidney and New Hope). I do not know
tho aggregate number of . ac^ in these
towjis but suppose there are about 0.000
or 4 000 This would give Augusta county
an area of about 971 square miles.
I feel quite sure that my information,
except that 'pertaining- 1.0,. the towns, is
correct because it- was gotten from the
county' court clerics of the respective
-Tdo 1 nit- write this as a criticism, but be
cause I- believe very few people have in

The Poor Debtor's /I« Agrain.
To the Editor of the Dispatch :
Can a widow, who is a householder and
a farmer, claim the benefit of the Poor
debtor's law when she has no. one de
pending on her for support? ' X
Albyville, Va.
-Section 3GSTof the Code, as amended by
the Acts of ISS7-'SS, page 423, says: "The
word •"householder" used in this chapter
(that is, the chapter pertaining to ex
emptions) shall be equivalent to the ex
pression "householder, or head of a fam
ily," and the term "laboring man" shall
be' construed to include all householders
who receive wages for their services."
As 1 the exemptions under the Poor
man's law apply only to "householders,"
we do not think the widow, can enjoy its
benefits, as she has no one dependent
upon her. Professor Minor. In Volume
IV., page 1000, says in reference to ex
emption:. "It is designed for the benefit
of the ; family, to secure the members
thereof' against want, rather than foi
the advantage ot the householder him
self, and hence is not available to one
who has ho family, dependent on him, nor
in his house anybody but servants. The
family- need not,; indeed, consist of a
wife, or children, but it suffices if it . be,
composed of persons whom he is under a
moral obligation, to, support. • • '.A
lharrietl. woman, witlv : separate property
and a family, may, it fcecms, claim the
privilege of homestead, but she and her
husband can have but one between them.

By "section 2530 'of' the ' Code of 1887.. as
amended by an act, approved : February
2C, 1894 (Acts 1833-94 f , page 475), a justice
is' allowed "for issuing a warrant of ar
rest 50' cents." .' '■• V
By section 3527 of Code, as amended;m
IS9O, and again by. an = act approved March
3 IS9S (Acts 1597-'9S, page 868). ; "The fees
of *» • justices •* * shall be
paid out of -the State Treasury, etc;, when
properly certified. This refers to fees- pt
justices in criminal, cases. . ';
By this amendment the fees of the
justice are allowed and paid in full in all
cases of felony, when the accused has
been sent on to and indicted by the grand
jury. In all other eases' the : Common
wealth only pays out of the treasury one
half of the fees allowed by law. In these
last mentioned cases the justice may, If
he can do " co. recover the full amount
of hfs fees ■ from the prosecutor or the
accused after the "trial, as to the verdict
of conviction or acquittal, in which event
the State will not pay anything.
We cannot find any law which author
izes a justice to demand from' the com
plainahtCany fee for issuing a warrant
against a person chkrged with felony.
Nor is he given this right specifically,
in misdemeanors,, by the terms of any
statute which we have been able to find.
The words used in the. amendment to
section 3527, last referred" to-viz., "If the
fees of said officer are not paid by the
prosecutor"— have been construed by some
as giving this right, but we do not think
so. The prosecutor may pay the fee in
advance, and in the event of a conviction
of trie accused of the misdemeanor
charged may recover it from the accused,
but we do not think that even in misde
meanor cases a justice has the right to
demand his fee in advance, or that he
would be justified in refusing to issue his
warrant, in a proper case, solely on the
ground that his fee had not been paid.
Under this amendment the justice will
get a fee for issuing his warrant in every
case-the whole or one-haif-as the case
may be finally disposed of.
We believe it is the custom of justices
in this city to ask the prepayment of the
fee in misdemeanor cases, but we have
never heard of their refusal to issue a
warrant, in a proper case, because the
complainant did not pay the fee in ad
vance.
In our opinion it would.be wise for the
State to allow justices to demand,. In
their discretion, the prepayment of their
fees in misdemeanor cases, except in
cases iii which police officers, constables,
etc., are complainants. If it should be
come well-kown that justices would issue
warrants in misdemeanor cases without
the prepayment of fees, then the number
of applications would be largely increased,
and many more warrants would be issued
on trivial complaints, and in each case
the State must pay one-half of the fee
allowed by law.

* Ambition and 3lanliood. ■
(Observations of a Philosophical^ Friend.) ,

"He, only, in a general, honest thought.
And common good to all, made one or
His lifemis gentle; and the elements^ .1
So mixed in him that Nature .might j
-Vnd fay' to U all the world: 'This was a
man.'" . -Julius Caesar,
Paul the greatest of philosophers, pro
pounds that all law is briefly compre
hended in the one word, love; and the be
loved disciple, the nearest to the Divine
Heart, says to us: God is love. All that
is said of the divineness of love may be
s-iid of the devilishness of ambition. We
know the Devil first for whispering that
into tho ear of our first parent, and so
bringing sin into the world, and all our
woes. As we know it, it is the opposite
of the character of the meek and lowly
Saviour of mankind, and the enemy of all
Christian graces.
But the diabolic original has from the
beginning shown wonderful ingenuity,
and achieved amazing success in this
very thing. He sounded it as the key
note of manhood, arid its reverberations
have sounded down through the existence
of our race;- and it has. been the principle
■largely explanatory of human history. Its
nature and working have displayed the
nature of its author. The Devil is; ambi
tion; and, indeed, it has in it a virus that
pervades all our being, that vitiates
every grace,' and flavors every .thought
and feeling wherever it is: allowed or ap
proved; and it dares to keep company
with the sons of God.-as one of thorn. It
claims to be the very spring and essence:
of manhood; and it has had. its claims al
lowed, not only, in nurseries- and homes,,
but in schools and colleges, but in Sun-,
"duy-schools; in- theological seminaries,
and 'in' pulpits. .-V boy or girl, a man or

(Ohio State Journal.)
He lives in Columbus and is known to
have thousands. But his reputation t>y
no means would justify his being culled
a philanthropist.
\ week or two ago he went down in
the country to his old home." On his
first Sunday there he went to. the old
church near the mill. Memories of the
Sunday mornings of his boyhood days
flooded him, days when he sat in the hot
church and listened to— the boys shouting
while swimming in the old mill pond.
His heart on this particular fcunday
morning was grateful ror all things and
especially the privilege of attending the
old church again.
At the conclusion of the sermon the
minister asked the congregation tor a
contribution to pay off the church m
debtness. When the •.'.steward" .reached,
the old Columbus miser, whose reputation
for stinginess had long been known in.
the little hamlet, the sanctimonious*
church official was somewhat startled
by being -addressed: ... ,„►„„*.
"How much is the entire indebtness

SPECIAL SALE OF

(Chicago Tribune.)
There was only one vacant seat in tae
rear car of the "L" train when the wo
man with the resolute look and pointed
noso came in.
It was by the side of a man with a
soiled face and watery eye. but she took
it.
After sitting a few moments in silerxa
she elevated her chin, looked from s!J«
to side, and sniffed audibly.
A few momnts later she repeated the
operation, looking with unspeakable se
verity at the man by her side.
Apparently she had located the distur
bance, whatever it was.
"Begr y'r pardon, ma'am." said the per
son with the watery eye, "are you 'hmpii.'
h'mphing! at me?"
"I am, sir," she replied.
"What's matter, ma'am?"
"I thinM it's a shame!"
"What say. ma'am';"
"I say I think it's a shame for a mart
like you to come into a car and s^at him
self among decent people!"
i "Think 'tis, ma'am?"
"I do, sir! You are drunk. You arc of
fensive! I say it's a shame for such "
man to thrust himself in among rtspec
table people!"
"Beg y'r pardon, ma'am, but I dint
thrust myself in here by you^ I w's al
ready here w'en you come in."
"If I had a husband like you," she sai«
with concentrated scorn, "I'd give -bin*
poison!"
"Mad'ni," he rejoined, looking her over
with, a feeble sort of smile, " 't I had a
v/ife like you I'd takes it."
And she elevated her chin some more,
but didn't say anything.
