bly, an act was passed authorizing the for
nation of considerable section of Hen
rico county just west of the city into a
special-tax district, TO be known as Lee
District" and giving to the commissioners
authorized to be appointed power. within
certain limits, TO levy taxes for grading,
draining, and otherwise improving the
thoroughfares Of that locality.
A meeting of the voters of the district
was held in the district school-house on
Friday evening. and WAS called TO order by
Mr.. John w. Clark, who stated that the
purpose OF it was TO nominate six property
owners, residents of the district, whose
names should be presented to the County
Judge and recommended as fit and proper
persons for appointment rs commissioners.
On motion Mr.. John w. Clark was elect
ed chairman and William X. Mason secre-
tary.
Ii was resolved that the nominees be
chosen by ballot and that majority vote
should be necessary TO choice.
Fourteen names were placed IN nomina-
ton and tho Chair appointed Messrs.
George W. Anderson and John II. kemple
az tellers TO collect and count the ballot,
which resulted in the election of the fol-
lowing named gentlemen, each having re-
ceived majority vote and all of whom

MoxEY MAKES THE MAN.
The meeting having taken a political
turn, some member proposed that Profess
sor X. L: Jones be invited TO address the
convention and give his views as to what
II best FOR the negro. His motion was
adopted, and the Professor entertained the
meeting for about half an hour. He ad-
yised his people not 10 give so much
thought topolitics but TO try and become
the owners of property. Money was the
thing they most needed. If they should
become rich then their influence in the
world would DO fclt. They would then
be IN position 20 command the courtesy
of all people. He wanted to see his race
economize in all things. They should
save up what money they can and buy
homes and educate themselves and then
they would be the equal of any race.
DIDN'T WANT ANY POLITICS.
Delegate Grasty. of Culpeper. thought
it unfortunate that politics had been
brought into the meeting. His people had
sent him TO the convention TO learn Of
something that would help their material
progress, and he wanted such matters dis
cussed.
Several delegates offered resolutions.
which were referred without discussion.
The convention at IL o'clock adjourned
to meet at 10 o'clock this morning, when
the Committee on Resolutions will report.
