whitehead we Are Marching ON.
I'm conversation Yesterday with 70
TIMES reporter COL Thomas Whitehead.
the Commissioner of Agriculture, stated
that gentleman from Jefferson county,
which is in q coal region in the north
west part of Pennsylvania, called 20 see
him "a day or two ago ana told him some
interesting facts.
This Pennsylvania came to Richmond
for the purpose of buying 70 farm, and j.,
tine advance representative. as 10 were.
of "a large number OF substantial farmers
of Jefferson Countrywide want TO mi
CRATE
What were the interesting facts
vs. ell. first he said that we ought TO
advertise more The peOpleup i'm Penn
sylyania did not know anything much
about Virginia II / had $1,000. said
Col. Whitehead, "tO spend in ildicious
advertising could do wonders
wi hat else be- say
This is what is very interesting. He
said the idea among the people of his
section about Richmond Was what had
been told by Federal soldiers returning
home at the close of the war. 80 when he
came 90 Richmond few DAYS ago. hc
said that when he SAW the size of the
city. her magnificent buildings and the
large amount of business transacted, NE
was astOunded.
ole also said that while in the rural
districts mere, he had not met man who
did not treat him with every courtesy
possible The Northern idea. he told
me. was That Northern man in Virginia
would be tahOOd and ostracscd, and Dee
was thunder-siruck at seeing how false
the impression was.
You could say also continued Col
Onel Whitehead, that he told me that
the Northern farmers or some OF them,
seem 10 bee afraid of the negro. yet,
when they 20 10 the tobacco factories
and see them happily singing. they get
disabused of that idea.
Why do these Pennsylvania farmers
want 20 leave
The reason told me is this These
lands are in coal country Coke ovens
are burnt, the people farming are smoked
out and they are disguised Neh ihc
wretched Hungarian cheap labor that
are thrown among them by the thousands.

would rather have the negro and the
