into the ponce'court Tuesday morn

Refreshed by food. Haley told a
story of le ing held a prisoner on the

about two yearn ago. and which re

"They made us g A p at in

After breakfast w*. worked hard !
until noon pulling in oysters and try- j

"Then when it came to clothes, all j

With a wave of ills hat tin- colonel
acknowledged iht greeting, and with a ,
a hearty laugh and a happy remark to
those who eagcrlt reached forth to
shake his hand he edged his way
through the crowd to an automobile
which was in waiting. Colonel Roose
velt it is driven t- the home of Colonel

I .ate r Colonel Roosevelt and Presi

where a brief reception was held for

Colonel Roosetelf received the ,

(Option to President Tuft a .tear ago.
H- sat at the tub!,- placed on a dais
and the diners wen* at small tables, all
centered upon the dais.
After the toast; had been drunk
Colonel Roosevelt said. "1 nm a rad

to regulate them. 'The rights of man
must he paramount in a republic such
as ours," he added.
The colonel urged th-- passage of
i gialatlon to benefit labor, it was hig
criticism of ex-Judge Baldwin, attf
tud< tow ard such legislation w hich Kd
to their controversy.
In explaining his idea of tin "square

1 want them to start even. '

"« . are for the- tin t,' h-- continued,
'and not in the least t -r the form.

and of State rights. I'm for both."
fie explained this bv saying that ho
was for national right- where they
would best serve the welfare of the
people and for States' rights, where
their exerel*. was most btiefielal. Col
onel Koog, volt said th- government
should deal with corporations on the

EXPECTS GOOD RESULTS
FROM DINJIGE MEN
Arrangements were completed
Wednesday for the first drainage con
vention ever held in Virginia, which
meets in the House of Delegates
rhursday at noon.
A number of prominent speaker?
who arc well up on the subject ot
drainage will make addresses, and al
though this will he imt a preliminary
meeting, it is expected to crystallise
into definite action i.i the matter ot
reclaiming the thousands of swampy
»nd semi-swamp acres of land in Vir
ginia.
Among the speakers will l>e Sena
tor leaner. of Norfolk county, who
introduced and hail passed a number
>f drainage bills in' the last Legis
lature: Professor C. l\ Elliott, chtet
ji drainage investigation in the de
partment of agriculture in Washing
ton; John C. Ives, of Norfolk coun
ty; Dr. I). tV. Starbusk, J. E. Dods
worth, Mr. Tener and others of the
Chlekahomlny section.
Chief Clerk Miller, of the depart
ment of agriculture, has invited the
mayors of nil the towns in Eastern
Virginia to attend and a majority ot
them have accepted. Several of them
will join In the discussion of drain
igc.
The deepening of the Chickahominy
channel is one of the Important sub
lets to come up, residents of the
section washed, and also swamped, by
that river being among the prime
movers in starting the convention.
Apropos of this convention. It Is
Interesting to know that J. H. Ladd,
of Richmond, .whose tatner was the
surveyor for Richmond in 1S38, will
attend and have with him several note
books, in uring the date 18:16. In which
hi* father. T. Mifflin Ladd, made no
tations about the Chickahominy river,
rhese books Surveyor Ladd attributed
the crooked course and shallow chan
nel of the Chickahominy as the cause
vf farms being made swampy. The
books arc highly interesting and will
Joubtless prove of value to the ad
vocates of drainage, because It con
tains a survey of the Chickahominy
ior many miles.

( IIAIU.r OF poisoning
WILI. BF PROBED1
Friday morning is the time set
by Magistrate Cheatham, of the < >ak
Groce District, for the second hear
ing of the case of the two little picka
ninnies charged with poisoning, or
attempting to poison the family of
William Randall, colored, of Chester- j
field county, two weeks ago. The
easo is attracting considerable Inter
est among the people <>f the South
side and the county folks both on ac
count of the extreme youth of the
criminals, fourteen and ten, respec
tively, and the unusual circumstances
in the case that have not been
brought to light yet.
When the ease was called last Fri
da;, ltandall was not on hand to
prosecute, and the hearing was post
poned. If he does not show up this
Friday he will endanger his person,
;<» Magistrate Cheatham is likely to
haul him up on the charge of con
tempt of court. It is thought by i
some that the Randalls would rather
drop the case because of certain reve
lations that are likely to ho mads
in the course of -the trial.
