"COURT OF APPEALS - The Court of Appeals yesterday in Richmond began the fall term, all the judges being in attendance save Judge Buchanan, who is ill.  The following cases were heard:

The commonwealth's application for appeal from the adverse judgement of the Mecklenburg county court was granted.  The suit had been brought to recover $20,502.61 from the Fidelity and Deposit Company, of Baltimore, as surety on the bond of Treasurer Howard N. Beales, of Mecklenburg county.  Beales, as treasurer of the county, deposited the funds in the bank of Mecklenburg.  The bank went to the wall and the county funds were swept away..."

"DR. MCLEAN TO BE EXPELLED - The sub-committee of the House committee on privileges and elections will meet next Tuesday and formulate a report to the full committee in the case of Dr. E. P. McLean, the member from Mecklenburg, who has so far declined to take the oath.  It is certain that the majority of the sub-committee will recommend the expulsion of Dr. McLean.  This report will be ratified and confirmed by the full committee.  A writ of election will be then issued to fill the vacancy from Mecklenburg. - [Richmond Dispatch]."

"THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES yesterday did what it should have done two months ago - declared vacant the seat of Delegate McLean from Mecklenburg county.  Why there should have been any delay in the matter only the members of the House can tell; but that body seems to move very slowly and to require much time to act on most subjects, and more especially when its path is as plain as the noonday sun.  Doctor McLean is a federal officeholder, is therefore ineligible to hold a State office and his action shows he fully understood this proposition.  Why, then should the House have wasted all this time arriving at its conclusion?  Doctor McLean is a very clever gentleman but no man should be allowed to array himself in opposition to the entire State legislature and directly he did so he should have been bowled over."

"HOUSE - The seat of Dr. E. P. McLean, the republican member from Mecklenburg who refused to take the oath to support the new constitution, was declared vacant by the House.  It will be remembered that Dr. McLean, when the legislature met last July to ratify the new instrument refused to recognize the new constitution, and made a speech bitterly criticizing its provisions.  No action was taken by the House at that time, one reason being that it was believed that the member was ineligible on account of the fact that he held the place of revenue collector under the government.  Two reports were read, one signed by Messrs. Cumming, Jones, Baker, Carter, Jordan, of Nansemond, and Leake, declaring the seat vacant for his failure to take the oath, and the other signed by Messrs. Kelly, Heermans, Robson, Caton, Jordon, of Frederick, and West, giving the member three days in which to take the oath and resume his seat.  Mr. Lassiter said he saw no reason for giving a member three days in which to do anything which he declared upon the floor he would not do, and Mr. Wallace made an able argument in favor of the report, declaring the seat vacant form the time the member refused to take the oath.  The three-day limitation bill was rejected by vote of 24 to 48.  Mr. Cardwell offered an amendment to the vacating bill, declaring the seat vacant from July 15, and the bill as amended was adopted by vote of 53 to 24.  Dr. McLean holds a Federal office.  He is a republican and a deputy revenue collector.  He has not been in his seat since last July and has not offered to draw his salary.  Dr. McLean is the only member who refused to take the oath to uphold the new constitution.  The report adopted calls for a special election to fill the vacancy and the speaker will issue the writ in a few days..."

"VIRGINIA NEWS - ...The State Corporation Commission has sent to Judge W. R.

"ASK RECEIVERS [BLACK SPOT] LUMBER COMPANY - CREDITORS OF EAST COAST LUMBER COMPANY APPLY FOR RECEIVERS ON GROUND OF MISMANAGEMENT AND FRAUD - BILL FILED AT RICHMOND, VA. - RICHMOND, VA. - Special - S. L. Owen and J. M. Owen, of Mecklenburg county, ask that receivers be appointed to conduct the affairs of the East Coast Lumber Company, with principal offices in this city.  The petition, which is in the shape of a complaint, alleged that the affairs of the concern have been conducted in a reckless fashion, and that values have been placed fictitiously.  The application is based on two notes held by the petitioners for lumber furnished the company, and for which a draft was issued, but which was not honored on account of insufficient funds.  The bill of complaint says in part:  'An instance of this reckless and deceptive practice of the said corporation is shown in the case of the Coles tract of land, containing about 2,000 acres.  Located in Mecklenburg county, it was purchased by President Cogbill for $18,000, and immediately transferred to the company and valued upon its books at $43,000.  Complainants would not show that the outstanding liabilities against said corporation amount to nearly $250,000; that said liabilities are due to various banks in Richmond and other cities and to sundry parties for lumber and other supplies;  that about $40,000 is due to various persons for acceptances and protested notes given for lumber furnished it, while checks drawn by said corporation amounting to $8,500 have been protested by banks and remain unpaid.  Your complainants aver that when said corporation made its last report to the State Corporation Commission, as required by law, its officers, in order to show that its assets were sufficient to cover its liabilities, raised the value of its lands and other property to an extent far in excess of their actual values, and even then there was a deficit in its assets of nearly $100,000 below the liabilities, and to cover this up the profit and loss accounts were charged up to it.'"

"RECEIVERS NAMED FOR MECKLENBURG BANK - Circuit Judge Barksdale has named as the receivers of the Bank of Mecklenburg Messrs. C. J. Faulkner and J. W. Edmondson, who before the institution became involved by its dealings with the Cogbill and East Coast Lumber Company were respectively president and vice president of the banks.  Both receivers are men of high standing and ability, and the interests of the stockholders and others will be safe in their hands.  Messrs. H. B. Boudar, Thomas Boudar and Bertram Chesterman, the expert accountants sent by the State Corporation Commission to examine the books of the bank, arrived at Boydton Wednesday morning and are now at work.  It will require several days for them to get at the true inwardness of the situation, through Cashier Overbey, now under arrest, already has admitted that he made unauthorized loans of more than $100,000 to B. E. Cogbill and the East Coast Lumber Company, with which the latter was subsequently connected.  The Bank of Mecklenburg, which has a brach office at Chase City, was established by the late George B. Finch in 1872, and for years was managed with signal success.  Its closing has caused great distress and the gravest apprehensions among all classes of people."

"...The House will also have to pass on the case of Dr. E. P. McLean, republican member form Mecklenburg, who refused to take the oath to support the new Constitution.  The election committee will probably make a report on the matter.  However, it will probably not be on this question that the House will settle the matter, but on another, about which there can be no doubt.  Dr. McLean holds a salaried office under the United States government, being clerk in the internal revenue collector's office in this city which is in direct conflict with the Virginia constitution, so the member from Mecklenburg will clearly not be entitled to his seat."

"The McLean case, involving the right of Dr. McLean to a seat in the House from Mecklenburg, he being a Federal office-holder, was referred by the committee on privileges and elections until after the holidays.  There was a very slim attendance of members and the sub-committee was not ready to report.  The case involves many legal questions of a very delicate character."

"MCLEAN CASE POSTPONED - The sub-committee of the House Privileges and Elections Committee will make no report to the full committee until after the recess.  When it does it will be in the form of a recommendation that the Mecklenburg man be expelled.  Mr. Heermans, the minority representative on the sub-coimmittee, is not quite in accord with the democratic members.  He favors notifying Dr. McLean of the intention of the house, and giving him another chance to come here and take the oath.  In the event of refusal, it is understood Mr. Heermans will acquiesce in the recommendation of the minority.  Whatever his attitude, however, the majority of the committee and a large majority of the House are in favor of expulsion.  There is one weak point in the argument of Mr. Cumming that the old General Assembly died when it adjourned sine die, or certainly, on July 10, when the new Constitution became effective, and that the new Constitution became effective, and that the present body was not the General Assembly of Virginia until the members took the oath under the new Constitution.  If that be true, Dr. McLean, who refused to take the oath, is not a member and hence cannot be expelled.  This is but one of the many complications involved in this case.  The declaration that the seat of the Mecklenburg member is vacant will certainly be made. - [Richmond News]."

"DEATH OF DR. MCLEAN - Dr. E. P. McLean, recently deputy collector of internal revenue for this district, died at 4 o'clock this morning at the Alexandria Hospital.  The deceased had for some time been suffering from chronic organic trouble.  He was in his 62nd year and leaves a widow and seven children - four sons and three daughters.  Dr. McLean was a native of Pennsylvania, and in early life served in the 66th and 155th regiments of Pennsylvania volunteers.  In 1875 he moved to Mecklenburg county, Va., where he practiced his profession, he being a graduate of Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia.  He soon became active in politics and previous to the adoption of the present constitution had been elected a member of the legislature from Mecklenburg.  He had in the meantime been appointed clerk in the internal revenue office for this district and was transferred to this city about seven years ago.  He failed to sign the new constitution and his position as delegate became vacant.  Some time ago Mr. James Beamer, deputy collector of revenue, became incapacitated for duty by reasons of indisposition, and Dr. McLean had made many friends and acquaintances, and his munificence in many instances are well known to those with whom he was intimate.  His remains will be taken to Mecklenburg county for interment."

"JOINT DEBATE - MONTAGUE AND SWANSON MEET IN MECKLENBURG COUNTY - Richmond, Va., May 20 - The joint debate between Messrs C. A. Swanson and A. J. Montague at Boydton, Mecklenburg county, today, was the most interesting event of the present campaign.  Mr. Montague opened the discussion by an arraignment of machine methods and paid his respects to Senator Martin along the lines of his Roanoke speech.  Swanson rejoined in a vigorous address.  He denied that there was any ma[chine] in Virginia, but said if there was that Montague was using it and that he stood ready to help crush it.  He denied that he was a creature of Senator Martin and eulogized the Senator, saying, however, that if any one could prove that he had ever been guilty of a corrupt act that he would denounce Martin.  'Mahone in his palmiest days would have taken off his hat to Montague as a machinist,' said the speaker.  He intimated that the question of the school superintendent entered into the election of delegates and suggested that Mr. Montague tell who he favored for that office in Mecklenburg.  Mr. Montague closed the discussion in an earnest address.  He ridiculed the idea of there being no machine and showed that all similar mechanism had been constructed by United States Senators.  He closed by saying:  'Mr. Martin has declared that he will take Mr. Swanson's defeat as a personal one.  Is this a dual campaign for governor.?'"

"THE CASE OF DR. MCLEAN - The case of Dr. E. P. McLean, republican member of the House of Delegates from Mecklenburg county, is still attracting the attention of the legislature, and it is thought by many that the House will shortly declare his seat vacant and order a new election.  A sub-committee which had been studying the case has discovered that under section 163 of the code the seat is ipso facto vacant from the fact that Dr. McLean is in the employ of the United States government as deputy revenue collector.  Dr. McLean, it will be remembered, flatly refused to take the oath of allegiance to the new constitution and took his hat and left the hall.  The sub-committee is making inquiry with a view to ascertaining whether the Mecklenburg member has drawn mileage.  The point involved is that if he has not it would only be necessary to declare the seat to which he was elected vacant.  On the other hand, if he has drawn mileage he will have to be expelled for his refusal to take the oath and attend the sessions.  It was stated in Richmond yesterday on excellent authority that Dr. McLean had drawn mileage and that the committee resolution would probably recommend his expulsion.  It is doubtful that a report will be made to the full committee before the recess.  There is no question that the seat will be vacated by expulsion or declared vacant in consequence of Dr. McLean's refusal to take the oath.  The doctor is now in Richmond with Mr. Park Agnew, collector of internal revenue for this district, in whose office in this city he is employed, and will return here with Mr. Agnew tomorrow.  Their visit is doubtless in connection with the matters described above."

"DR. MCLEAN TO BE UNSEATED - The case of Delegate E. P. McLean, of Mecklenburg, who refused to take the oath under the new constitution, and the question of whose eligibility to sit as a member of the House of Delegates has been raised, involve some very nice questions of law.  Mr. Cumming, a member of the sub-committee to which the case was referred, has prepared and embodied in the form of a bill his views on the questions.  His first conclusion is that E. P. McLean was not ineligible to membership in the general assembly, which convened in December, 1901, by reason of his being a Federal office-holder.  His second conclusion is that the seat of Dr. McLean is now vacant, because of his failure to take the oath under the new constitution.  His next conclusion is that Dr. McLean should be expelled for non-feasance in office, that the county of Mecklenburg should not remain unrepresented on the floor.  After an elaborate discussion of the points involved, Mr. Cumming's final conclusion is embodied in a resolution that the seat of the member from Mecklenburg is hereby declared vacant, and the speaker of the house is directed to issue a writ of election to fill the vacancy existing.  Dr. McLean, who went to Richmond a day or two ago, has returned to his port in the internal revenue office in this city.  He says his action in the matter will be uncertain until after the committee now having his case in charge shall have reported."

"OLD ISSUE PASSING AWAY - A BLACK MAMMY DIES IN MECKLENBURG AGED OVER A HUNDRED - BOYDTON, VA. - MAY 8 - Mecklenburg's centenarian, in the person of 'Aunt Mariah Lewis,' died yesterday at her son's home near here.  She was perhaps the oldest person in the county.  She claimed to be one hundred and three years old, and she could not have been far from wrong, for her fifth son, with whom she lived, is nearly seventy years of age.  'Aunt Mariah' was a great favorite with the white people; she was kind and respectful to all.  She was the former slave of the late John W. Lewis, a prominent lawyer of the bar of this county in antebellum days, and was the 'black mammy' of the Lewis children, to whom she was devotedly attached, and they as well to her.

For many years 'Aunt Mariah' led an active life nursing children, and even when the infirmities of age came upon her she would sit daily knitting or sewing.  She retained her faculties to a remarkable degree, and delighted to talk of her young masters.  She is the old woman who, it will be remembered, although bent with age, came to the burial of the last one of her young masters, some two years since, and as the body was being lowered into the grave, with a sobbing heart, she moved toward the open grave and exclaimed, 'Good-bye, Mars Tom, it won't be long before I will be with you,' and now her prophecy is fulfilled.

One by one these old faithful servants of the nappy long ago are crossing over the river, and all will soon be gone.  The saddest of all is the fact that there are none so faithful to take their places.

The present generation know but little and cannot appreciate the love and almost veneration in which these old-time 'mammies' were held by the old Southern people.  These old mammies were, so to speak, the watchful guardians of the children of the families, both by day and by night.  A remarkable instance of her loyalty to the Lewis family is the fact that a few years ago the old woman went to New York in search of the last of her young masters, who has since died, and she said, when she found him, that she not only hugged him, but she kissed him."
