Among the candidates for the Convention, announced promptly upon the passage of the bill, is Col. W. W. Hancock, of Chesterfield.
He represented his county in the House of Delegates for several years, and so entirely to the satisfaction of his constituents that it was only by his own determination to retire that his representative relation to them ceased.
