missionary to China. Addresses were
made by Rev. DR.. Frierson, Rev. j.. A.
Brown, of Due West, the young lady's
| o. l.. Martin, and their remarks were ex.
ceedingly interesting. At the conclusion
of Mr.. Martins address he presented Miss

had been contributed by several churches
and individuals, to pay her expenses to her
far distant future home.
Mrs. Eliza Wright, wife of Mr.. R. M.

No Farm for the Conyicts.

The State is having troublesome
time getting a farm upon which to set
its convicts 10 work. At the last ses-
sion ofthe legislature there was strong
move made against convict labor. 1t
was claimed that the several hundred
felons engaged in making shoes, tobacco
and other articles within the penten-
tiary put forth articles that undersod
the work OF outside labor. 1t was con-
tended that the State prison ought to
be made simply self-supporting: and
not be used to earn profit for the
commonwealth. 1t was urged that the
convicts could be put upon farm, and
thus raise all that they needed for self
support.
After a contest this idea prevailed,
and an appropriation was made of SO,
900 to buy farm. Since that time the
State of Virginia has had trouble in
getting this farm. The directors have
been besieged with offers to sell, and
have in several instances been almost
on the verge of buying, when unlocked
for opposition has sprung up. A farm
near the city was favorably considered,
when it was discovered that it had
granite upon it, whereupon indignant
protests were made that if the
convicts settled there they would
be set to work cutting granite, and thus
come in competition with the stonecut-
ters. Then the directors decided to
place their hopes upon a sandy soil,
and so began to think favorabIy of a
farm on the York river, in the fish and
oyster region. No sooner had this
been noised abroad than hue and cry
was raised that the convict labor would
speedily undermine the great trucking
interests, and that convict-raised pota-
toes, peas, kale and cabbage would go
to Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York markets and ruin the truckers.
As the swell of Indignation waxed
strong, the attention of the directors
was turned to another region This is
none other than the first settlement OF
Virginia, and fine offer Of Jamestown
Island was under favorable considera
ton But here another unlocked for
obstacle has sprung up. Sentiment of
another kind has been aroused. James
town, the first colony in Virginia, the
town made famous by Capt. John
Smith, was considered too good TO be
made the abiding place of convicts. 1t
is being urged that this would be slur
on American traditions. So the matter
stands to-day. The board of directors
are still looking for penitentiary farm.

asserted that the treasure was theirs,
aud the town authorities forbade him to
dig further. Both the town and ranch
owner set watchers where the stoue
was found. The work of excavating

suggests the idea that if the lost vessel

and southern democrat had not been

iicers would now be on duty. South
ern democrats, as rule, when in fed

FRIDAY EVENING. MAY 4, 1894

A DAY has been set apart in some OF
the States for the especial care of trees,
and now it is proposed to devote anoth-
er one to the care of birds. The de-
crease in the birds that are not killed
for food, is as great as that in those that
are. The cause is the senseless destruc-
ton Of them by boys, who, if not pre-
vented, will always rob bird nests and
xii! birds with bean shooters. There is
plenty Of law against the wanton des-
tructicn Of birds, and if those who are
paid for executing it would only do
their duty, they would conduce more
to the preservation of the few birds
that remain than all the "bird days
legislatures could appoint.

PRESS dispatches from Cleveland, o.,
say the strikers who resorted to mob
violence there were all foreigners. The
immigration of ignorant foreigners to
this country was inspired by the boun-
ties offered for soldiers during the war
between the States. and has continued
ever since, being stimulated by the de
.nands Of the protected industries OF
the North for cheap labor. The vast
majority OF tbs immigrants have as lit
tie correct appreciation Of free institu-
lions as the denizens of darkest Africa,
aud mistake liberty for license. In
spite Of himself, the negro is a blessing
to the South. His presence here keeps
the class of immigrants referred u
