Great Suit Sale for
Remnant Oay?Triday
Most stores wait until January before announcing a sale similar to the one below.
When January comes our tables wHl be full of the new spring goods made for, the 1902 trade.
Of course we could adopt the plan that many other stores do?that is, run the fall stocks in. as spring
goods and sell them as new goods, but we don't carry on business that way. We're telling you candidly to-day
just what these suits arc. Not all the regular line of colors are here and not all the sizes, but if the size and
color are here to suit you there's a saving of 25 to 50 per cent, on a strictly new, first-class tailor-made suit.
Worth looking into, isn't it? These are "left-overs" only in th*: sense that we're anxious as soon as possible
to close out everything before Christmas in order to make room for new goods.
It's been a busy week with us, consequently there's plenty of remnants all over the store.
Are you going to be one of the fortunate ones to get a good value cheap? Better come in early.

The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad is
to replace its present manual system of

Is an important move, the need of which
has been felt by the company for sev?

posed to have the "system in operation,
under which all trains crossing?, the

number of passenger trains daily coming

LEGISLATURE TO
ELECT THEM STILL
ir ' ._?
Mr. Withsrs' Amendment as to
Judges is Rejected.
CAUSED A GREAT DEBATE.
Vole Ajainst Was 40 lo 27 - Major
Allen Qualifies as Mr. Newloa's
Successor - The Day's
Proceeding?.
The Constitutional Convention yester?
day, by a voto of 27 to 40, rejected Mr.
Withers' amendment to\ the judiciary? j
report providing that the judges of the j
Supreme Court be elected by the people. !
This and thc qualification of Major
Otway S. Allen as a member of the con?
vention from this city, to succeed Dele?
gate Newton (resigned), were the only ,
interesting events of the sess.on.
There were seventy-two members pr?s- !
ent, and a great many prominent visi- '
tors were on the floor, among whom was
Sir Robert Ball, the noted scholar and
astronomer.
The greater part of the session was de?
voted to a discussion of Mr. Withers'
amendment, whieh was finally rejected, ?
THE DAY IN DE viL.
The convention met at 10 o'clock. . Pray?
er by Mr. Dunaway; seventy-two mem?
bers being present. Memorials relating :
to liquor licenses were present? r>
The convention went into Committee of
the Whole to consider the report of the
Judiciary Committee, Mr. Boaz presiding.
Judge Harrison discussed his amendment
providing that Supreme Cotirt Judges be
elected by the people, until such time as
the Legislature pnnides some other meth?
od, aie sa d that the d baie on the pend?
ing seemed to be conducted on the prin?
ciple that those lawyers, who had lost
a great many cases before the Supreme
Court desired a change, and those who
had been successful did not.
He said a great deal had been said
about a purified electorate, but if it was
to be purified by an understanding
clause.- whero a registra could "sit in
judgment on every elector, he wanted
just as few elections by the people as
possible. Xo one could know what ef?
fect any of the proposed su/Trago schemes
would have, and it was best to allow the
Legislature to change the method of
electing judges by the people if it was
found that the suffrage clause in the
convention finally adopted should prove
disastrous. The speaker said the true the?
ory of electing judges was by ihe people,
provided conditions were such that the peo?
ple could express their will. Any oth?
er system tended to make courts auto?
cratic and dogmatic.
IN OPPOSITION.
Dr. Dunaway opposed the amendment,
claiming that the people did not desire
the power, to elect judges directly, but
properly preferred to exercise that right
through their representatives in the Leg?
islature. He made a strong speech
along this line. He stated in the
course ' of his argument that he
greatly ' preferred having the judgie
appointed by the Governor, but as
he could not get as independent' a coast
as that, he would tako the system pro?
posed by Jefferson and Madison?by elect?
ing them'by the Legislature.
Judge--Quartes advocated the election
of Supreme Court Judges by a popular
vote, because he believed with the Bill
of Rights that ali officers were servants
of the people and should be amenable to
them; that a.ll power was vested In the
people and that they were the court of
last resort. The sovereignty of the people
carried with It the right to select their offi?
cers. He insisted that if the argument of
the other 6ide was correct they should
follow it up by advocating the selection of
judges for life, for then they would have
a court independent of the people sure
enough.
He cited the defeat of Van Wyck in
New York by the people for the Supreme
Court and asked if any one doubted but
that he would have been elected by the
Legislature if Croker or Platt had wished
it. He said Judge Conley was defeated
by the voters of his own party in Michi?
gan, and a Democrat who had not
grown independent of the people was
elected by a tremendous majority. It was
a battle between the corporations and the
people, and the people won. He. declare
that the election of Supreme Court Judges
In Ohio hy the people had saved their
court from being dominated by Mark
Hanna and the Stand?rd Oil Company.
? OTHER MOTIVES.
He charged that opponents of the Em?
ployers'-Liability bill were opposing the
election of judges by the people. They
knew that the people had determined to
have that law, and what good would
such a- law do if it had to1 be construed
by a court selected by a Senate that had
repeatedly refused to pass an employers'
liability bill at the behest of the rail?
roads. He declared that the question
before the convention had1 resolved It?
self into whether judges should be elect?
ed by political bosses and corporations
or elected by all the people.
He did not intend to apply his remarks
to the, present judiciary or the present
Legislature; but he did say that in a
great many States Legislatures -were
owned, body and soul, by corporations
and' the day might come when such
would be true of A'irginia. He asked Mr.
Carter if he would deny that the employ?
ers' llabilitv bill had not been repeatedly
defeated by the railroads. Air. Carter
said he knew nothing about it.
CAPRICE OF THE PEOPLE.
Judge Brooke opposed election of the
Supreme Court judge by popular vote
and said Mr. Withers it- his speech for
the change had only given "I believe"
for facts. His speech read like a
church creed", it had so many "I bellv
es." and "I fail to understands" in it.
He then dissected Mr. Withers' speech
?nd charged that it did not contain a
simple presentation of a fundamental
principle. He asserted that the further
the judges were removed from the caprice
of the people the more independent and
unbiased would the courts be. He said
a judge should not have to sit like a
shimmering slave in the presence of a
fickle or revengeful master. He
never wanted to see the day when
a judge could look into the eyes of a
felon to be punished by him, and have to
realize that possibly his own future de?
pended upon the favor or enmity of that
felon in the future.
Mr. Goode asked Judge Brooke if he
did not know that the whole of Jeffer?
son's life was devoted to establishing the
right of the people to select their public
servants, and asked' him if he did
not subscribe to that doctrine. Judge
Brooke replied that he profoundly
?believed in a certain class of officers
being selected by popular vote, but he
was following Jefferson in opposing the
electlon.of judges in that way.
MR- BARBOUR FAVORS.
Mr. Barbour advocated election by the
people. He said the State Government
was divided into three separate heads,
the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial.
The Supreme Court was the very high?
est and most powerful of these co?
ordinate, departments, and to properly
prevent encroachments of either upon
thc other, all of them should derive their
authority and depend for existence from
the direct voice of the peopie. Two of
these branches now depended. upon sind

The substitute offered by Judge Harri?
son was rejected.
Mr. Cameron then spoke against the
amendment offered by Mr. Withers. He
said there was no disposition on the
part of thf! committee to take away any
power from the people. The proposition
was a dry, cold one as to what agency
should the people uso in expressing their
will.
The committee had recommended that
the people should continue as they had
for over a century to select their judi?
ciary through their immediate representa?
tives in the General Assembly.
SENTIMENT DIFFERENT.
The ideal of all human justice in imita?
tion of the Divine, was a picture of hier,
with her head in the clouds, the scales
held far aloof from the. crowd, ar.d out of
reach of the prejudices, passions or In?
fluences of any of the parties, so that
tiie law could be read or enforced abso?
lutely accord.ng to its letter and ics spirit.
He said the amendment really meant
nothing more than giving the people the
power to ratify the nominations made
by a political convention.
He said he revered Mr. Goode as his
father or grandfather. (Great laughter
and applause). But he would have him
to remember that the moral sentiment
of the people in 1S51-1S65 was as differ?
ent from what it is now as is the elect?
orate. The two periods of now and
then could not be safely contrasted, or
conditions of to-day be changed hy any
power of man or votes by tho people
into the conditions existing fifty years
ago.
He referred to tho fact that Judge
Fryor, of New York, had to pay $15.000
to pay campaign expenses for the judge
ship bafore ho could enter the race for
the nomi-.ation. He said he was sur?
prised that New York or Ohio should
be held up as examples for \*irginia to
follow. He said he did not believe the
people of Virginia were so corrupt that
they would elect corrupt members of the
Legislature. The captain of a vessel
was no less a. captain because he dele?
gated the power to guido the rudder to
a pilot. Mr. Cameron closed his able
speech with an eloquent appeal to the
converti ? ? not to adopt the amendment.
and wa?. very generally cheered when he
cci'cluded.
TELLERS DEMANDED.
The vote was about to he taken when
Judgo Quart 05 t||'mnjided tellers. M]r.
Hunton moved that the committee rise.
He said the newly elected member from
Richmond should be allowed to vote on
this question and he had not had (he
opportunity to present his credentials.
Mr. "Withers objected to further delay.
He said the mnraber from Richmond had
had all day to qualify. Judge Ingram
supported the motion to rise and said
the new member could qualify, but had
not seen proper to do so. The motion to
rise was overwhelmingly defeated.
The, Chair appointed Messrs. Hunton
and Withers to pass among the delegates
and take the vote. Mr. Cameron asked
why could not the roll be called. Mr.
Hunton asked that this be done.
WAS REJECTED.
The roll was called and the amendment
was rejected by the following vote:

Mr. "Wysor moved that he be required

A good wife out in Alta, la., who did
not know which way te turn to get food
that would agree with her husband, .who
was lett in a weakened condition after a
serious illness and could scarcely ret* jj
any food in his stomach,. was one .l..'y
induced to try him on Grape-Nuts the
famous ready-cooked. breakfast food! and
from the first he began to Improve'rap?
idly. In three months he had gained 30
pounds. .
She says that his stomach has recovered
so completely that he can now eat any
kind of food.
She mentions the boy of ?n Intimate
icqualntance. who was so delicate and
thin that his appearance was pitiable,
ud he had no appetite tor "any ordinary
food. He was put on urape-Nuts ana
liked the crispness and sweeush taste of
? he new 'food and took to It- His . im?
provement began at once, and ne Is now
a healthy, plump boy.
"I know that Grape-Nuts will do more
for weak stomachs than any medicine.
The claim that it will build up and
strengthen the brain has been proven
to my certain knowledge. Sister, who
writes for the press, and is compelled to
memorize a great deal, has been using
Grape-Nuts, and says she Is surpris j 1 at
the result. There, is a marked improve?
ment in her memory, and the ?>:*.*n
works more perfectly, and with bet<er
results.

stoien the gloves, but was discharged.
