B1y@ In an article in the Richmond Euqui-
FER. on the subject Of securing the indepen-
dence of the South. from any reliance upon
the North, we find the following remarks =
THE MECHANIC ARTs.-It has been con-
tended that young Virginians leave their ma
tive State, because there is not q sufficient
diversity Of employment to attach them to
their native soil, and. at the same time, afford
them the means of support. This is owing
altogether to our neglect ofthe mechanic arts.
Let our yonng men lay aside tie false pride
which prevents them from engaging in any
useful and profitable handicraft. That is the
great secret. There is plenty of employment.
There is an abundant variety. But there is
a little false pride that ~interposes. am graf
fled to learn that that feeling is wearing away,
and that some of the wealthiest farmers on
Jumes River are having their sons instructed
in useful mechanics. How much more noble
an employment is il for the young Virginian
to learn to make and conduct the Steam En-
CINE, to explore the hidden treasures oe our
soil, to bring forth the iron, gold and copper
to develop. 10 every way. the hidden re-
sources Of our venerable Commonwealth
than to be standing behind the counter vend-
ing tape and ribbon. II is too much the case
with your Young men.

Washington Star, that in 1915 the Rev Flea

1913. and 10 his declaration. endeavored to
escape the necessity of paying, on the plea
that at the time of contracting the debt he
wasa St. Regis Indian. and as such not COM
petent to make contracts--a plea which the
Court overruled, Now it happens that this
debt was incurred long after Williams pre-

Joiuville the secret Of bis real French origin.
and when. according to bis " story, he
knew he was a Bourbon Prince and not an
Indian at all.
