The mass of negroes, are from their ignorance,
dangerous as voters and will be till, as class, they
can read and write and so be able to form inteh
gent opinions.
The above is the opinion of Union
General, a Republican, and the Principal
of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural
School for colored pupils. 1t is also the
platform of the thinking men of Virginia.
1t is no race issue In politics whatever it
may be in social life; it is that the mass of
negroes are dangerous as voters-danger
Gus to the Commonwealth, dangerous t.
its citizens, dangerous to its property, dan
gerous to its progress and retarding to its
civilization. Their ignorance makes the m
dangerous, as the very use that ignorance
is now sought to be put to in Virginia
shows. 1t is not the color line but the
primer line which the white people of the
state are forced to draw. 1t is this dan
Used to bring into the war in Virginia and
strange to say, asks the aid in this project
of the very men whose material interests
and prosperity are proportionate with the
amount of intelligence that can be infused
into the government under which those
interests are protected. When Col. Cam
eron promised at the June Convention to
sscarry Africa into the war; he mistook
both the sentiment and the discernment
of the great mass of the people who have
closest at heart the good government of
our state.

The Man to Win.
Editors VindicdtOr.

EQaJOfS P2nOacuJOf.
There seems 10 be something about the
unterrifed Democracy that makes them
always confident of winring No matter
what the ticket is, we hurrah for it and
bet upon it. In the fight over the McCul
loch bill no party was ever more confident
of success, or more surprised at defeat
Enthusiasm is good thing, but it should
be coupled with judgment. A calm sur
vey of the field before entering upon con-
test and a serious consideration OF the is
sues to be met, are of the first Importance.
Those who think there is to be a quiet
''walk over'' for our party this fall deceive
themselves. Our enemies are bold, active,
desperate. We must make no mistake.
Impressed with these thoughts, many
minds are turning towards one man, un-
der whose leadership there will be assured
victory. A Virginian who has reflected
naught bat honor upon his state. and. in
the true sense, man of the people, JOHN
T. HARRIS would have their united and
hearty support. After a long career in
Congress during time of unparalleled
political debauchery and corruption, he re-
tired with clean hands, his party fidelity,
and personal integrity. unassailed and un-
assailable.
In State politics he has stood squarely
upon the platform of the Conservative
Convention Of 1877 In favor of an hon.
est settlement of the State debt, he would
be acceptable to all Democrats who want
a settlement honorable to thu State and
satisfactory to the creditors. Not to dis
cuss the debt question. let me say, that. as
1 understand it, the party is committed to
eadjustment-fair, not forcible-and if
anybody is opposed to any REIMBURSEMENT,
and insists upon paying all the bonds,
with the full rate of interest they bear
upon their face-well, this is not his year
to run for Governor. that's all.
No man in Virginia has more elements
of popularity and strength than Hon. John
T. Harris. There is no shrewder pOliti
clan, nor one that would make a more
thorough canvass.

The First Virginia Plow.

Upon information obtained from Mann
Altman, of Page county. aged eighty-six,
and Jos. Horner, of Fauquier, aged sew
enty-six, correspondent of the Waynes-
boro Advertiser" gives the following
history of the first Virginia cast plow:
Stephen Mccormick was, as we believe,
a native of the county -of Fauquier. He
died at Auburn, six miles east OF Warren
ton, three years ago, in the Goth year OF
his age. He was NEST energetic and eu-
terprising citizen, and we regret our ina
bility to give the minute history OF his
early efforts to substitute the rude wooden
mou ldboard with the cast. His first pat
ent Was dated LIST January, 1926, his sec
ond the 22nd October, 1928, and his last
December LIST, 1887. His castings were
obtained of Messrs. Blackford q Arthur,
near Luray, the nearest furnace to him.
He had them manufactured at home, (Au-
burn), Leesburg. and Alexandria and per-
haps at other places. He presented Cen
eral LAFAYETTE with one or more OF his
plows On his visit to America in 1925,
which the General carried with him to
France. IT'S remembered that he had a
noted controversy through the papers with
Mr. Davis of Georgetown, D. c., for
some Infringement on his patent. Mr..
HOrner says he paid MIN $lo, In 1854, iof
one of his ''cutter plows,' and it was
very good. Jacob Rivercomb, Of Page
county, made some improvement ON the
Mccormick, but never obtained a patent
The late James B. Trimble, (Bonaparte),
of your county, manufactured the McCor-
Mick ploWs many years at his home, IN
Hebron Cong. He then first introduced
the famous Livingston plow, so called from
the beautiful Genessee Valley, in Western
Newly ork, where, in 1887, the writer So
journed some time, in Mt. Morris and vi
cinity. MI. Trimble was succeeded by
Schuyler Bradley, at Midway, and he by
Mr.. Samuel M. Lyle, who, a few years since
removed his factory to Stanton. We de-
| sire, Mr.. Editor, that the Southern Plant
err publish this communication, as piece
of the agricultural history of Virginia,
! that for the first time sees light.

that he was approached by a lady acquain-

The Circus Coming.
WEST.

A note from the capital agent, Charles
Stowe, informs us that the great circus
and menagerie of Sells Brothers will ex-
hibit at Staunton, August 4th. Their adj
vance circular says:
Their claims to patronage are extraordi-
narily attractive, but they do exhibit the
only pair of $57 900 living african Hippo
pOtami; the Only pair of full-grOWn Polar
Bears; the only monster Arctic Aqnari-
UNI Of AmphiDious Marvels; the only
complete herd of Elephants, including
the only pair of Woolly Elephants ever
captured, and full-grown Dwarf Ele-
plant, much smaller than any other ele-
plant ever seen at birth; the only $50, 900
Two-horned White Hairy Rhinoceros; the
only gigantic Rainbow hued Mandrill, the
only 5000 herd of six Performing Colo
RADIO Cattle; the great and only James
Robinson; Geo. M. Kelly. the Champion
Leaper Of the world; Willis Cobb's $25, 600
Miniature Circus; the phenomenal King
Sarbru; BaHghman and Butler, the mar
velous champion Rifle Shots; and a host
of other living and arenic whole-show
alone features.
The little ''woolly elephants" are those
described for the edification of the little
people in Est. Nicholas. The N. Y. Eve
ming "Post'' says of them:
These wonderful animals, illustrated and
described IN "St. Nicholas" deserve and
will attract general attention, as the mar
velous pioneers of an entirely new species,
They were imported by Chas. Reiche &
Brother, the well-known wild beast deal
ers of New York city, and by them recent
ly sold, at nearly their weight in silver, to
Sells Brothers Millionaire Confederation
of Stupendous Railroad Shows, with which
they will be exhibited the present season.
The Messrs. Reiche pronounce them the
most extraor binary geological attractions
that can possibly be procured, which are
certainly destined to prove the show SEN
satiOn of the season.

The question of geographical locality in
Virginia for candidate at the August
Convention has been so far, we are glad to
see, been made little account of. This is
the right way to treat it. The old idea of
a nomination being 'due'' to certain To-
cality is an exploded one. If Underwater or
Piedmont or the Southside Or the South,
west has a suitable man that can aoi1a we
of the Valley will be glad to support him.
And if we have a man in the Valley to
whom a nomination is equivalent to an
election (which we have) lei him be taken.
But don't let the convention experiment
with some gentleman, as compliment to
his locality, who knows no more of the
business-for canvas is business-that
he is going into than gentleman from
from Arcadia.
