Ido think, however, :'.i>it thare has beea too much put in state constitutions iv repeat years that nas been purely experimental. I think it would be better to bave these things put in effect simply by acts of the legislature so that they oould be readily changed in case tbey do not work out, rather than in the state constitutions where tbey are hard to reach in case it is desired to obangn them."

TO ENTER BLUEFIELD Rumored Extension of the Lines of Virginian Railway in West Va. B ,'anoke, Va , Maroh 11. — From luehsli it is learned tbat |he Vir :iaian Railway is making movements tbat iudioate an intention to build a <ne in.o that city.

Tbe joisibiltiy of stretohing a certain franchise secured by th» new oom pany, wbi :h provides for a ear line of 10 sparine oharaoter, also gives rise C 9 the opinion tbat tbe Virginian Hail way is to enter Bluefield through sane devious route not yet known. It is known, however, th»t a oom pany has been securing rights of way along the New river and the Blue stooe and the narrow __jg of land whioh~were taken hava led some people to believe that this land was not secured by a oompanv which planned to build a power plant whioh was tie nominal object for which it was intended, unless tbat power plant wbb to consist of a doable track line of railway on which steam engines could be operated. A strip of land has been aoquried at Glen Lyn which wonld make it ap pear that a tnnnel may be built at that point. If tbe Virginian Railway shall suo eeed in throwing a line into Bluefield it will be enabled by it to get a divi sion of the traffic from tbe Pooa jDt.is coal field, wbiob would furnish it something to live on until the de - valop-neot of the coal industry on its main lina.

SOUTH EAGER FOR I mm wilsdn ATION AT ATLANTA South Claims New Jersey Governor as Native Son and Will Swing Him Solid Support. ______ _ Atlanta, Ga., Maroh 11.—Wood row Wilson, democratic governor of Mew Jersey, is the Sonth's candidate tor the presidency in 1912. No more marked evidence of that fact could be obtained than tha tremendous ovation given him last night by the 9.000 Southerners gathered from every Southern State to bear bit oration at tbe Southern Coin ess. The Wilson applause completely overshadowed even tbat givn tbe pre sident himself. Tbe whole ovation was a revela tion. The vast auditorium, packed with people, seemed to rise- a* one man and acclaim Wilson the choice of tbe Southern people as tbe stand ard bearer of tbe democratic party. These people were not A Mint is ne, giving a welcome to a distinguished gnat. They were men high in tne commercial lite of every important Southern oounty, gathered, not by anybody's politioal fortunes, bat to discuss tbe means of presenting tbe sonth's material greatness to tbe world. Their ovation to Governor Wilson, therefore, was spontaneous. Nothing of a political nature in the governor's speeoh prompted tbe boom This speech was wholly nonpartisan.' It was just an acade mic dissuasion of tbe dnties of oiti sens. But every sentiment was cheered wildly for minutes When the victor entered tbe hall tbe ap plause began, and when he arosa to speak men and women alike stood in tbeir seats, waving flags, handker chiefs and bats for nearly ten minutes. Governor* Brown, of Georgia, gave the New Jersey governor a dinier the other night, At tbis sat the gov ernors and high off.oials of practi cally every southern state. This was a private affair, bnt its design lnaked out before tbe feast was half over. It was intended to plaoe Wilson be. fo-e tbe South as the candidate of that section for the presidenay. The commercial congress wants to keep politics out of its proceed ings, and it did, so far as tbe pro gram Was ooncexned, bit it did not keep politics out of tbe minds of tbe delegates. Governor Brown observed tbe proprietien by insisting that his hospitality was personal, and its real intent was not mistaken by any petty. The South has had no serious can didate for the presidency since the civil wir. It had been content to support a Northerner or a Western* r, allowing these sections t> nave the man. And all the while Southern democrats has been the tail of the Northern demoaraoy's kite. Now a change bas some ov«r these People, they want to produce the standard bearer. They produce the votes, ani tbey want to name the candidate. Woodrow Wilson is the man they want While Wilson tm tbe governor of a Northern state, he is cltimed by tha South as one of its own. He was birn in the South. Ha was eduoated here. He praotioed law here. He taught school here. Wood iow Wilson oan oarry practically every state Sontb of Maryland, the men of commerce here say. And these men are tbe life of tbe new South. Tbey are ar j oniiness men first bnt tbey are politicans too. Mr. Oqb Haa Reoevered Mr. D. C.

This course has raised a. great deal of dissatisfaction on the part of thoaa affected who say tbat permission was ontaiued for the erec tion of the signs and who think it is a hardship that they should be made to go to the expense of removing and to bear tbe loss of tbe cost of the signs. The signs on the Virginia aud Angnata hotels, Walters and Switxer'R stole, Hogshead's drug store, and the new Beverly Garage, have been ordered down, the ouly sigu of any consequenc? that lias seen al lowed to remain being that over Cohan's restaurant on New Street. i'hafc at Waitara and Switzer's store was taken down yesterday. Tha ordinance bearing on this sub jant provides that electric signs may ba orectad provided they are twelve ( feet Above the sidawalk and do not extend mors than thirty inches from the hjilding Ali of tbe signs that have been ordered down extend more than the allowed thirty inohes, bat this clause oi' the ordinance has been something of a dyad letter ever smc9 the -crdinanoe was &dopted. It is pointed out that all but one cf the signs oidered down are in a low lying section of the town, anu tbat the illu mination thay provide is needed aud is a direct benefit to the oity. There is no objectionable feature connected witn any of them and the policy of adhering to the strict letter of the ordinance in this particular is regard ed as being deai aely short sighted. It is said that a protest has baen niaae against tnem on the ground that it was unjust to allow them to ex tend over the sidewalk whe.i the ordinary board sign and the sign on the awning flap is not allowed to extend tbe same distance and that it is a discrimination in favor of the man who can afford the more ex •pensive electric sign aud against the man who cannot afford more than a paintea board or strip of canvas. This, it is argued, is really a penal ty put upon enterprise. »■ a «■ Heart Disease Claims H.
