Respectfully
ADDISON HOPKINS

AbDloJN I1OfhlNSs
The above letter was held under consider
alton for several days and finally the editor
of the HERALD answered it to the effect that
Mr.. Addison Hopkins had better pay the
region visit and learn the prospects by per.
sona inquiry and observation.
Yesterday afternoon a tall, lank, long
haired, but rather gentlemanly looking per
son walked into the HERALD sanctum and
announced himself as Addison Hopkins. of
Brambleton, Virginia, the writer of letter
to which you made very cuht answah, sab"
We welcomed Mr.. Hopkins, invited him to
one of our best wooden upholstered chairs,
and assured him that if our reply was short
OF crusty it was entirely unintentional on our
part; that We had recommended a personal
visit and inspection because we did not wish
to assume any responsibility in the matter.
Mr.. Hopkins smiled and said, Its all
right, but l concluded to come heah. | felt
that even if the prospects should prove un.
favorable, l would have the pleasure of
having look at coal field for the first time
in my life" He then bluntly asked what
him that we could hold out no encourage
ment. We also ventured a joke that per
haps the soap firms would object to the
colonization; that the effects of the smoke
and dust in the mines would not show on
the faces of the proposed colonists as they
do on those of the white men, "Very
clevah," calculated Mr.. Hopkins, "but the
people | represent are of high.ah class of
colored people and the soap industry would
not suflah by any means, sah.r
The conversation eventually drifted to
abodes for the eolonists and we informed
Mr.. Hopkins that none could be secured in
the town, as there are not sufficient houses
for the people now here. But we suggested
that the obstacle might be overcome by the |
erection of houses on the fiat ON Locust
mountain and the farming element of his !
colonists might secure farms in the Catawissa
valley. discussion of the distance from !
town and the operation of the electric rail- |
way caused Mr. Hopkins to remark that the |
number of people he would bring here in due !
time would warrant the extension of the /
SiSetiiS Aoeid pNbl Allo ulOuuNllu. lie lAuu' I /
the slightest doubt that the extension would |
pay and would soon build up the valley and .
make Shenandoah good market centre for
farm products
Mr.. Hopkins then discussed his scheme
and said that the exodus of the
colored people in the South is becoming
general and they are seeking homes in the
north and west. The defeat of the Repub-
lican party at the last election and the in
definite shelving of the Force bill,s upon
which their last hope to secure the free ex-
ercise Of their franchisemeut has thoroughly
disgustod them and they have concluded to
move to places where they will be able to
have direct voice in the affairs Of the gov
ernment.
The visitor left town last evening for
to visit some old friends residing
there. He gave no intimation of the inn
