OfThe "S0p' Ord cr.

OF all hunbugs in the humbug-
ging Virginia Legislature, the 800
coo appropriation for a negro nor
mai school and buildings, is one Of
the most tr nspare. t. 1t is a sham
show Of re onpcnse for the colored
vote that put tie Readjusters in
power but, though the name in the
document is Esau's, the hands that
will handle the money will be these
Of the willy Jacob. If Virginia had
not at present one Of the finest nor
NAL schools IN the country, tor the
express object of training teachers
OF the coloie] race, the appropriation
especially for buildings, would have
better face On it. The Hampton
school, under Gen. Armstrong;
able direction, has been largely
built up by contributions fiom the
North, although the State Of irgi-
MIA in the past made an appropria
ton of State lands towards its il
come.
AS this fine school combines both
industrial and agricultural training,
and theref re sends out its teachers
fitted to teach and support themsei-
YES in other ways, il salary falls
short. it is already doing tor Virgil
MIA what no new institution, with
out large expenditure Of money and
buying It's experience dearly, can
succeed in. The plea tor the bill is
that the fund is to be laid out and
the whole scheme controlled by
coIored men, and that Hampton is
under white controle. 1t is posi-
bic 10 push this argument a little
too Tar. The freedmen of Virginia
are much more concerned IN getting
good district schools for their child
rem at present, than in engineering
one-horse institute, while the full
establishment for making good
teacher is already in lis thirteenth
year on the James. But an appro-
priation in that direction would not
have been under the control OF po.
litcians nor subject TO any divides
with the white readjusting bosses.
The colored colleges in other
parts oil the South are chiehy
ornamental fzzles, while they stand
as a s,rI OF fgurc-he-d for State
liberty VERY much as the Pennsyl-
wanna Agricultural C,Ilege, white,
appears TO be in this Slate) aud,
although the Virginia experiments
of entire negro control for the new
institute would be interesting, il the
matter were needed, it is foolish to
throw away so much money oil a
new and raw school, while a most
efficient ard experienced school is
in existence thai would not require a
quarter pat Of the moncy.-qeorge

The General Assembly, Of Virginia
expired on last Monday night. The
Governor Immediately called an ex-
ira session. Whether the Readjusters
can succeed in carrying out all their
schemes, by which they expect to
keep the party together is somewhat
doubtful, but they will succeed in
drawing the extra salary TO the
amount Of $3.50 each. When HOl'
liday was governor the extra session
Dodge did not win, but with Gov
Cameron and the Boss, we may ex-
pect not only extra sessions but
good many other extras.

A Thrilling Incident Recalled

Mrs. J. NJ. McTeer, who died at
her home ID Wytheville, Va. on Mon
day last, was the relicl of Col. Piper
who gained national fame through
his perlious feat Of climbing the

1918 be and three other students OBJ
tained permission ofthc president to
spend day from the college and
they went about twelve miles 10 the
bridge. AS soon as they arrived, in
youthful glee they commenced the
ascent Of the prccipitOus sides of The
bridge and cut figures and names up
ON the stone. Young Piper spied the
name of Washington standing above
the thousands Of others. and started
upward to write his name above that

ington, and continued upward, cut
ting his -footbolds with his knife, until
he stood 10 feet above his horriitd
companions. whose eDtreaties for his
return had become more and more
difficult 10 hear. From this point he
turned for the 6rst time and looked
downward, to see that return was I'M
possible, and the advance was almost
impossible. since the knife that had
carried him SO far was WON nearly
TO the handle. Each moment was
one of intense suspense to his COM
panions, who from below watched tor
and expected his destruction at any
time. Painfully be worked a few feet
higher. until the knife was useless, and
be hung seemingly upon the face of
the precipice. In that position. be-
tween hope and fear. he lived what
seemed years. until rescue came from
above in the shape of a lasso, and be
vas drasn up 10 the top OF the bridge
where he tainted from exhaustion.
