- Among the many striking incidents of the
late food in Virginia is one related by Flu
wanna County, Virginia, correspondent of the
Richmond Wing, of the attempt of the three
heroic white citizens of Fluvanna to rescue a
colored ferryman and his wife at the ferryhouse,
at the junction of the James and Rivanna Riv-
ers. In making the attempt, these three brave
men, by name Davis, Fuqua and Agee, the lat
ter youth, lost their noble lives The Incl
dent illustrates not only the self-sacrifcing
courage of generous and brave people, but the
traditional friendship of Southern whites to the
colored race 1t is an indication of genuine
Southern sentiment in that regard much more
reliable than the inventions of the manufac-
turers of Southern outrages.
