The issues involved in the political

just now going on in this State, are
mainly in reference 10 the interests and
welfare Of Virginia. We believe that
the future prosperity, peace. and happi-
ness of the people of the State. depend
upon the success of the Conservatives at

effort will now secure . in Virginia, the
triumph of sound principles, and give
US the fair prospect of the onward pro-
gress of the State in the path which leads
to State prosperity.

Do YOU WANT MIXED ScuooLs Tie
Black and Tan Convention that framed
the organic law Of Virginia did not a5-
solutely require the Free Schools of the
State to be mixed, but lie # the authority
with the Legislature to make them all
such. They did this because they want

afraid that such provision in the Con-
stitution would SO alarm and arouse and
exasperate the whites, as to probably lead
to the defeat Of the sum of all villainies'
the Black and Tan Constitution. If
they now obtain control Of the Genera
Assembly they will have Mixed Schools

States are in like miserable plight. Con-
serva tives of Virginia. compare your con-
dition with that Of those wretched States,
and say whether by local disputes, or
keeping away from the polls, you vii.

Virginia to be governed as So4th Caro-
lima is governed, where the republican
party has run up the public debt millions,
and increased the county taxation from
S55, 500, to $575 900; or as Moth Caro-
lima is governed, with an increase Of
public debt from fourteen millions and
half to thirty-fve millions, and county
taxation from $3.50. AT to 1924 604 or
Georgia from thirteen millions public debt
to fifty millions, and county taxation.
from $293, 1855 to 1901 900; or Tennessee,
from $50, 900. 900 public debt to S45,-

SIT ,25S, 900; or Texas. from no debt in
vi to $4,000, 900 in 1870; or Mississ-
ippi, whose county taxation has increased
from 1884 ,9Os to $2,170,993. IF these
figures do not rouse the conservative
people of Virginia to their peril, then
indeed, all is lost Fred Herald.
