Lively Discussion in House
on Toll Roads Bill.
The Qentrnl Assembly got down to
' work yesterday, hotb -ranches having a,
? gcod working quorum, and sitting for
rr.cro than two hours.
The Senate passe. _ substituto for the

substitute provides for the appointment
o? a committee of ten?five from each
! heute?to be selected from the five geo?
graphical divisions ot the Stato, to re?
port to the General Assembly oji to the
alte for. the proposed normal eohooW
this wae adopted after consldorab_) de?
bate, in which opposition to the Inter?
vention of a Ward or committee In the
matter was vigorously opposed.
The Senate then took up tho Sonato bill
In relation to the fees of sheriff-, and
after eon.? debate passed the pill, the
??fleet of which is to increase the pay
or sheriffs. They are paid a per diem
for each day circuit courts are sitting.
Th..?. sheriff of the city of Richmond,
having three courts, receives moro than
under the old law.
Tho House of Delegates devoted two
hours to debating the bill authorising
the county of Norfolk to purchaao tho
toll ronds of that county. The bill .was
vigorously antagonlxod by Mr. White
bead, of Norfolk city, and advocated
by Mr. Owen?, of Norfolk county, and, Mr.
Bland, of r Ortsrnout-i. After soveral
. amendments had been tacked on the bill
war passed, notwithstanding the fight.
The House again put Itself emphatt
? ?ally on record ngalnst fixing a date
for adjournment, refusing to adopt a
iolnt resolution offered by Mr. Coleman,
of Pittaylvanla, proposing to adjourn
?>nc dio on Saturday,
Tho Senate passed a bill exempting
undertakers from jury service-, and sev?
eral Code revision bills wer? taken up
and passed.
In the Senate.
Tho Senate ?at for three hours yes?
terday, the Lleutenant-Governor presid?
ine and twenty-seven members present.
S Mr. Mcliwal..e, from the Committee for
Courts of JuBUce, reported, without
amendment, the bill cr_atlng a bureau
of insurance, which was reoently sent
b?ck to that committee. The purpose
o? the recommittal was to retain th?
? statutes embodied in the bill, th* Sen?
at?? having declined to create the com?
mission itself. No action waa had on
th?; report.
The Committee for Public InsUtuUono
and EducaUon, sitting joint'</ with tho
Ccmmiuee for FJnano*. reportad, with a
? sul*-timte,? the- House bill providing "for
the establishment of another Stale Nor?
mal School, with industrial training, for
tbe education of young women. The sub.
?rilute provided for the creation of a
commute- of three to visit the various
?itea offered and report, with recom?
mendations, to tho General Assembly.
Among the first things taken up by the
B> nato was this bill and substitute, and a
lively debate ensued. Mr. Barksdale.
of Halifax, opposed the creation of a
Joint committee, which, he declared,
would be little more than a Junket. There
wa? too much committee government?
new and the on. porposed would Impose
a useless expense on the Stata In the
course of his speech he became involved
In a running colloquy with Mr. Keezell.
and in the course of this Mr. Keezeii
expressed himself also as opposed to too
many boards and commissions. There
?' uron Mr. Barksda'o asked If the Consti?
tutional Convention, of which the Sena?
tor from Rocklngbam waa a member, did
not place the affairs of tbe State in
the hands of commissions and commit?
tee- and boards.
. GOVERN THE STATE.
"The Governor appoints the boards; and:
the boards do the rest." said the senator
from Halifax, in his characteristically
dioll way, and the entire Senate joined
in the laugh.
Mr. Keeiell advocated tho substitute.
H? thought that the matter of location
iirculd be carefully considered anil tb?
school, located' where the rt-atesf num?
ber of people would get the. advantages
fifiti-id. So far a? be was concerned, ho
would like to see five schools estab?
lished, one for each of the grand divisions
, of the Stata
_?.*?? ?F*?16?*' cppoMd the substitute. H?
disliked the Idea of leavin* the selection
of a site pracUcally to ? small commit?
tee of the General Assembly. He wanted
?h? Joca'i-n of th? school to be left to
the General Assembly after Inquiry into
the merits of the propositions a? to sites.
Ha wanted the city of Lynchbur* to have
a. ohance to present Its pjalms for tho
ulte of the school. That city, said he,
pays more revenue into the State treas?
ury and takes less out than any other
city of Its el.e In the Commonwealth, and
It did not reoelve a dallar of State ap?'
propriatlons for public Institutions or any?,
thing else, it woe more accessbl? than
any other city in the Stata, not except?
ing Richmond. The senator warmly ad?
vocated the claims of hla city a? Sena?
tor Barksdale had done Incidentally In
the course of his speech?
GOOD FOR GIRHV-.
Som? of the senator? began to twit Mr,
Halsey as to the hills of that city, but
Mr. Barksdale rushed to the rescue and
stated that climbing those nil., (nado girls
-tron? and healthy, and he ??reed wltn
Mr. Halsey that no other city could lay
claim to prettier ?Iris, ? Resuming, Mr.
.Halsey seriously urged th? advantages
of that city, and opposed leaving the se?
Iflotlon of a site to a committee.
At this point Mr. Mollwaino offered
nn amendment to the substitute, pro?
posing that ? joint commltte?, consist?
ing of five from each house, one to be
chosen from each geographical grand di?
vision of the State by th? presiding r*fn*
cere of the two houses, who should ex?
amined the sites offered and report to
the General As-crobly.
Mr. Anderson, of Richmond, also op?
posed the committee eeleatlQii, which he
raid would be nothing more than a Jun?
ket, that would subject the General As?
sembly to crlUclstn. If additional facil?
ities were desired for the education of
young women, he thought the school at
rarmviue should _? enlarged. He was
npposed to th* id?* of locating a number
uf email echo??, ?nd scattering tbem all
over the State. By enlarging tho Jfarm
viu? school tb? Stai, would be saved,
great' expense In th? matter of hut,
lights and water.
Mr. Anderson opposed government by
boards and comraltteae.
The amendment of Mr. Mc.lwalne was
adoptad, and the substitute, aa amended,
was then pas_e4 by a vote of twenty-on*
to six.
Th? bill, >or* substitut? for tbe House
fe&l now goes back to that body for Its
consideration, and Jte fate there '., Mid
to bee doubtful,
HALAiiiBH or enrmirre.
. Mr. Anderson, of Richmond, then called
up tho bill reported from the Committee
tor Court? of justice In relation to the
?alarles and fee? ?f ebertffs. After some
explanation of Its provisions and Infor?
BMI discussions thereon the bill wn?
passed. The effect of tho passage of the
bill, If the House also pass It, will be to
rotore aecUott 3626 of tho Code, repealed
a year or two ago, ?? that all sheriff?
may hereafter be allowed ? per day
for each day's attendance on tho sessioni
of the Circuit Court, and auch allowance
for deputies, not to exceed $2 per day,

to be paid by the Slate. Such was th?
law until repeated by thin General Assoni.
bly, except that the sheriff ot Richmond
heretofore hod a special allowance. The
Constitution now forbidding any law pro?
Tiding for such special allowance, In?
creasing or diminishing compensation of
officers during their terme, somo such
law became necessary. Tho sheriff of the
city of Richmond I? now put on tho same
basis of the other eherlfla, save that he
will have three oourta to serve?tho Clr?
cult Court the Law and Equity Court
and the Chancery Court-and will, there?
fore, together with his deputies, recolvo
greater remuneration than at present.
All sheriffs will, under tho provision? <>f
this bill, roceivn .moro compensation than
at present, the remuneration being de?
pendent on the number of day? the Cir?
cuit Court aite.
The bill a? passed now goo? to the
Houso,
The Senate disposed of tho calendar by
passing or passing by everything ,on It.
Tho Houso bill, with a Senato substi?
tute, relating to the extension of cor?
porate limita of cities and towns, was
passed by. ,
Tho House bill to amend section 3154
of tho Code was taken up and passed.
Theso House bills were passed also: ?
To exempt undertakers from Jury ser?
vice.
To amend and ro-cnact section 3111 of
the Code.
The gonate at 2 P. M. adjourned until
noon to-day.
The House.
The House was called to order at noon,
and there wm no prayer.
The Committee on Local and Private
Legislation reported a number of bills,
local to the town of Bmithfleld, one of
them allowing tho creation of a white
military company.
Mr. Coieman offered a Joint resolution,
wbloh was^ rejected, providing; for the
final adjournment of'the Legislature on
January 3th.
Mr. Matthews offered a bill, by request,
which wa? referred, allowing the Board
of Supervisors of MotompUIn School Dis?
trict to levy'a tax sufficient to meet
outstanding bonds.
The first bill on-the calendar was that
to authorize the county of Norfolk to
acquire the toll roads and bridges of
said county, and Mr. Whltehead made
a strong speech in opposition. The Nor.
folk member not only denounced the bill,
but declared that It had been railroaded ?
through tho Senato and through the
House committee.
Messrs. Owens, Charles T. Bland and
Cummlng often interrupted Mr. White?
head with questions, and the latter
charge that the effort waa being mad?
through the bill to ?ware tne property
for lea? than Its value. He denied that
the toll road? constituted any monopoly
and he aiserted that they were as good
as any roads in the State,
AGAINST IN TOTO.
He objected to nearly every line of the
bill, and especially to that part which
allows th? Judge of Norfolk county to ap?
point the commissioners.. He offered a
number of amendments, the chief one
being,to allow the people of the entire
county to vote upon the proposition. He
said there wm no popular demand for
the bill, but It had originated-, with a
iew politicians in Norfolk county. ".An?
other amendment of Mr. Whltehead was
to provide for taking the commissioners
from some oth-sr county than Norfolk.
Mr. Allen spoke warmly against ' th*
bill, and his argument wm largely on the
?Ine of that advanced by Mr. Wnlteheai
Mr. Charles T. 'Bland spoke for the bill,
and hlo remarks were vigorous and ex?
tended. He often became Involved In col?
loquies with Mr. Whltehead, and these
create great Interest among the mem?
bers. Affairs relating to Improvements
in Portsmouth (-am? In for much discus?
sion, and Anally Mr. Bland declined to
yield further and went on with an ear?
nest appeal for the bill.
MB- BLAND'8 CHARGE.
Mr. Bland charged that the amendments
offered by Mr. Whltehead were presented
not In the Interest of the people, but
the owners of stock ln the properUes. Thla
Mr. Whltehead denied, and It seemed that
the two members had no common Ideas
on Uve subject.
Mr. Bland Anally said he was willing
that all the people of the county should
vote on the proposition of Issuing bonds,
.and Mr. Owens spoke briefly for the bill.
Mr, Whltehead followed Mr. Owens.
and be again contended that the com?
missioners should com? from other coun?
ties than Norfolk, but he was willing to
concede this If the patron" would agree
that all the roads should be purchased,
Instead of picking out the best and leav?
ing the feeders on the toll-road owners.
The pending question wm ordered, and
most of the amendments were rejected.
Mr. Owens accepted that requiring ad?
vertisement at all the voUng precincts
and In newspapers in Portsmouth and
Norfolk. Mr. Whttehead wjuited a m.ajor.
Jty of the registered freehold voters to
pass on the questions, and the amendment
was rejected.
Mr. Caten offered an amendment re?
quiring that If any nwwl? were aoqulred
It should be not only the main linea, but
also lateral branohes. The amendment

ITS MORAL
ASPECTS
Antj-Saloon. League's Third An?
nual? Convention to be Held
Here Next Week.
SPEAKERS DISTINGUISHED
Hon. Charles? Littleficld, Mem?
. ber of Congress From Maine;
Dr. Blackwell and Others.
Tho third annual Stato oonvcnUon of
the Anti-Saloon League of Virginia will
begin In this city next Tuesday to con?
tinue threo days. The attendance prom?
ises to bo very large.
The convention *will bo composed of men
of all politica] parties, churches and tem?
perance organisations. The ealoon ques?
tion will be considered In Its moral, rath.
er than its economic aspects, and honco ?
It is entirely 1n order for the assemblage
to convene In a house of religious wor?
ship, and which will be tho Second Bap?
tist Church;
Tho convention will be of the most
practical nature. It-will noi simply re?
solve that the license system Is harm?
ful, but It will earnestly noek to get all.
the light possible thrown upon the sub?
ject of the banishment of the saloon.
To this end prominent epeakers will ad?
dress the body, giving their ideas and
the results of their observations. For
example, tho effect of the antl-llcenso
victory In Danville will be presented by1
men familiar with the facts. "Banish?
ment of the Saloon by Substitution" will
be the subject of a well known speaker.
Others will diseuse the "Best Methods of
Winning a No-license Victory;" "The
Duty of the Christian Voter;" "How
Eest to Arouse Publie SenUment;" "The
General Scope of the League's Work; the
Tricks of the Enemy-, how to Make Vic?
tory Permanent," and so on.
DISTINGUISHED SPEAKERS.
Amqng the speakers will be the Hon.
Charles Llttlefield, the brilliant congress?
man from Maine; Dr. Blackwell, of Nor?
folk; Rev. James Cannon, Jr., the man?
aging editor of tho-"Christian Advocate;"
Professor R ?. Bennett, of Randolph
Macon College; Rev. M. Ashby Jones, of
Richmond, and Judge William H. Mann
and a ?core or more of other prominent
ministers and laymen from all over the
State. Every mall brings to headquarters
assurance of attendance on the part of
deeply interested persons, and the gath?
ering ^wlU be representative of tbe best
personnel of the State.
This la a gathering of which it cannot
bo said that any mercenary or selfish
motive will Inspire It There will be no
lo.bylng for positions; no thought of
'.'Loaves and Fishes." When men go down
into their pockets to advance a cause
with no possibility of financial return
on the Investment, it is a pretty good
sign that their convictions are honest
and their determination strong. The
learrue would not give a doughnut for an
ephemeral or a nominal victory over the
saloon?a victory won on an emoUonal
hurrah basis. The idea is to uproot tho
saloon and kill the roots. At the.same
time it is not proposed to postpo'n? ?c-'
Uou unUl all the saloons can be ban?
ished, at the same time. "Bit by bit"
reform is the motto of one of the dis
Ungulshej leaders, who also originated
the motto, "Unity and Sanity."
An an evidence of the increasing power
of the league, it is worthy of mention
that the Ohio League last year raised
$00,000 for the prosecution of the work.
TRIBUTE TO GOOD MAN.
Mr. L. B. Vaughan Eulogies His
Friend, Capt E. M. Leftwich.
Before the Sunday eohool of the First
Eaptlst Church a few days ago, Mr. L.
? Vaughan pronounced the appended
eulogy upon Captain ?. M. Leftwich,
t.r many years a teacher in the school:.
Brother Superintendent,?I feel I should
bo false to duty and to every feeling of
my own heart should I lot this oppor?
tunity, pass without saying a word or
drepptng a tear over the grave of my
dear oU Sunday school teacher, E. M.
Loftwlch. It has been ?y pleasure to sit
at his feet and listen as he so earnestly
and profitably taught tha lesson. I can
trithfully say that his Christian life
has been an Inspiration to be a better
mon. We shall meet and miss him, ana
there will bo a vacant chair In our homes
a?.a hearts; still wo can take pleasure tn
tho thought of his spotless Christian life
and his noblo example, which, thank
God, will last through time. Mr. Left
wlcl was blessed by God In many ways,
ano" was spared to the ripe old age of
over eighty-five years. If there was one
characteristic above another In his Ufa
'tj be admired, wa should say it was his
fidelity to duty. At his age, being the,
oldest teacher In our school, living at
long distance, the record shows how- sel?
doro he was ever absent from roll call.
What a reminder! He was slok only two
S.ndays before his death, and when
visited by his old olass almost his first
words were excuses for his unavoidable
abrence. Through the kindness of our
efficient church clerk, Brother D, O.
Davis, we find Brother Leftwich was re?
ceived Into this church In 1842, stxty.two
years ago.
During all this time his Vfe has been
worthy of Imitation, as a faithful ser?
vant of God and a useful member of the
chirch he so tenderly loved. Ab for him.
Giir loss Is his gain. For the dear ones
of his family we extend our sympathy
In their grief, and refer them to this
bltsped promise: "That ye aorrpw not,
?non ns others, which have no hope; for
If we believe that Jesus died and rose
again, even so them also which sleep
In Jesus will God bring with Him,"

Whenever you read the advertisements of
BREAKFAST FOODS
announcing "Predigested" "Brain Food" "Starches
turned to Grape Sugar" "Made of entire Wheat and
Barley," etc., etc*, you can apply the following

Seven years ago the original ready-cooked, predige..ed Grape-Nuts Food was 'discover?
ed and placed before the people. '
Its early history shows that the inventor, after recovery from a long attack of nervous
prostration and a well-nigh fatal attack of appendicitis, was brought to realize the ur?
gent necessity for a predigested cereal food that the system could absorb, and that .would
furnish the body with energy and also rebuild the Brain and Nerve Centr?e.
That was the
PROBLEM
With years of training at hie back perhaps no nan was better equipped
to solve that problem.
He knew that weak Intestinal digestion meant, either leave off eating
any starchy foods, Potatoes, Wheat, Oats, Bread. Cakes and Pudding?,
or suffer distress and disease. - '
He knew that some starchy food Is necessary to supply energy.
He also knew that delicate particles of Phosphate of Potash assimilate
with Albumen In th? food and go to build th? gray mattar tn the Brain
and Nerve Centres, so, the experimente began and ??tended over a
period of about 3 year?, resultine In th? now world famous food, Grape
Nuts.
Special parts of the Wheat and Barley are ?elected and so treated by
moisture, heat and time as to change the staroh Into sugar which can be
seen exuding from every granule of Grape-Nuts,
This form of predigested starch (now sugar) l? <*. .IcJdy taken up by
the blood and deposited In the muscle? and tissue?, ?t.r_d and ready for
use when energy 1? demanded.
Then the little particle? (microscopic1' of Phosphate of Potash ara there
M well, and with the Albumen of rood, ?urely, steadily and perfectly do
Sielr work In re-bulldlng and making new th? worn down Brain and
erve Centre?. ..... ?? . ? ' ._?
That is the reason why people who know these fact? and have proven
them, use Grape-Nuts.
Truly "There'? a R_?_on."
Persona who have been built back to strong, sturdy men and woman
by adopting scientifically made food, particularly when delicious to tb?
taste, are not quick to forget it,
A great original success Is always a bid for imitator?, but Orap?-N_t?
was io bard to copy that for the drat five years, but feeble attempt? were
mad? by anyone to imitate either the food or the announcement? o? Its
merit.
However, about 2 years ago. a tremendous rush was made t. cet (sto
th? ready-cooked food business.
It wa? Ilk- a ?tamped? to tbe gold diggings.
Several hundred factories were built and the hopes of the atockhold
ars ran high.
Had these money-seeking follower? gon? through tbe days, weak? and
years of hard experience, in sleknee?, Investigation, study and experiment
i*_iat fitted th? old originator to bring forth from hi? food laboratory ?
genuine article, intended for a purpose, and so skillfully and ?olenaftcaUy
trended and mede that it would?-.
Do what it was i ? tended to do ! !
Or were they forced from lack of early training, to "grind up something" and "adver*
tise! that will make it go?" \y-> \
The first year of the life of these imitators they did not assume that their food? were
"predigested" or were "brain" foods, but when for some unexplained reason the demand,
did not come up to expectation, they concluded perhaps it might be because they were not
advertised as "predigested brain foods."
So, without any change in the articles, and with most amazing effrontery, the makers
of some have now suddenly begun to talk "Brain Food," "Predigested," etc, etc., copying
the announcements of Grape-Nuts that the public have been familiar with for seven years past..
When you read our words and phrases, "Predigested," "Made from entire Wheat and
Barley," "A Food for Brain apd Nerve Centres," etc., etc., fitted to some breakfast food, you
may know these claims have been cribbed from the original, and are pretences.
A genuine originator must have as his actuating motive, honesty of purpose.
Imitators have but one object, MONEY? and that to be gained from the thought and
work of others.
There is. but one and only one genuine pre?
digested Brain Food and that is
Qrape=Nuts
