NIRGINIA'S PLEA OF POVERTY
The Washington correspondent of
the New York Tribune has been in
terviewIng prominent Virginian,
who is described "as probably quite
as we'll informed regarding the con.
diti0n and resources of Virginia as
is Gen. Malone, or any other man in
the State. This Virginian, in res.
ponSe to inquiries from the Irt6uWe's
correspondent, declared first, that
Virginia is not honestly paying all
she can; second. there is party in
Virginia willing to pay more than
Malone third, the State is not really
bankrupt. In addition the Virgitian
remarked: "All this talk about the
bankruptcy of our State is not only
untrue, but it has done the State in
calcuIable injury in the last ten years
by checking immigration and by
preventing the investment in the
State of outside capital. The reason
Virginia appears to be so poor is that
there has been systematic under.
valuation of property for assessment
purposes. The valuations through
out the State have not been uniform.
and the valuation is proved by
this fact. l know instances where
the land of a county is assessed at $50
an acre, while in an adjoining coun-
ty, where the lands are just as good
AMI quite AS valuable, the assessments
are only Sc an acre. Now, while |
sympathize with Malone i'll his
desire to overthrow Bourbon rule in
Virginia, l am compelled to admit
that the excessive undervaluations
have spoken of are in counties con
trolea by the rsadjusters. The CEN
sus reports will undoubtedly disclose
the fact that Virginia is much richer
than her assessment rolls would in
dictate, but do not believe that even
the census returns Will show the
whole value. The fact is the politi-
clans, for their own purposes, have
been for years trying to convince our
people that they are poor and over
taxed. and the people have come to
believe it. l suppose the censu.
valuation will be much under the
true amount, because it will be large
ly made from The statements of prop
ty owners themselves. People know
well enough that their property il
undervalued by the assessor. Re

AS an evidence of the singular
success attending business ventures
during the year 1880 it is reported
from New York that the business
failures show decrease of twenty
five per cent, in point of numbers
from 1879. This is certainly re
markable showing, the one thing
accounting for it above all others
being the financial policy of the coun
try, which has restored confidence
and brought into active use the NOM
ey that was bearded up.

main there, especially if the rafters
are weakened by time. If rain should
fall, as in all probability it will, the
spongy nature of the snow would
absorb nearly a gallon of water to
the square foot before it would begin
to run off, and the combined weight
of water and snow would render
dangerous any roof, new or old, I'M
less very steep or of gothic struc-
ture."

cd their sons at boarding-school at
Cokesbury, South Carolina. They
had been for years intimate friends
and clsrgymen in the Methodist
church. These boys remained at this
schools roommates and classmates,
and entered Wofford college, standing
relatively first, second, third and
fourth. They entered law office
at Spartanburg and studied law un.

broke out and at the call for troops
they all entered Jenkins's rifle regi-
ment from South Carolina and were
messmates in the same company.
Being near the same height, they
stood together as comrades in battle
in this regiment. At the second
battle of Manassas, August, 1864, q
shell from the enemy's batteries fell
in the ranks of this company, killed
these four boys and none other in the
