One on Sam Small.

Not bad story, whose paint pricks
the Rev. Sam Small rather severely, is
going the rounds. 1t is said that years
ago at Emory and Henry prize essays
by the students were submitted for
criticism to committee, one of whom
was Professor Holmes, of the Upiver-
sity of Virginia: A very able paper
from Sam Small was returned to him
accompanied by these words, 1.-THE
prize is awarded to DR.. johnson, of
London, for an essay to which is at
tached the name of Sam Small. y
Charlottesville ChTOnile.
Sam Small might have said that it
was not plagiarism, but only an illus
tration of the fact that great mems
minds run in the same channel" as did
student at the University of Virginia
many years ago when he was told that
the speech he delivered was identical
with one delivered before by Henry
Clay.
In another paragraph the Chronicle
says
PEARSON Massey will doubtless enjoy
the story of how Sam Small tried to
write prize essay"
Sam Small is now writing and pu b.
fishing some essays on Massey and
the American Book Company, that
cannot be credited to DIR. Samuel John.
son, which Massey may read with in
terest, but cannot much enjoy"

about 1878, and took charge of the
Lewisburg Hotel. and had since re
sided here He leaves a widow and
six children. He was a kind hearted,
generous man, ever ready to accomo
date his friends, and there are man,
here, both white and black, who will
keenly feel the loss of his generous
friendship. Some years ago he con
nected himself with the Presbyterian
Church here and died in the faith OF
that communion. Appropriate funeral
services were conducted yesterday

Gold Mines in Virginia.

In speaking with gentleman on the
subject of goldmining last week, we ex.
pressed the opinion that mines in the
gold belt of Eastern Virginia, could
now be mined profitably with the i'm
proved modern processes, and we find
this opinion confirmed by the state
ment of Capt. Camm Patteson, agen-
tleman of intelligence and reliability.
The Richmond correspondent of the
Index-Appeal, under date of Feb. 9Th,
says -
Capt. Camm Patteson, of Bucking
ham. is here today and talked enthusi
astically about the gold deposits in
that county. He says the belt contain.
ling the yellow metal is fifteen miles
long and ten broad. Gold mining has
been carried on in Buckingham on a
small scale for half a century with
small profit, and Captain Patteson
thinks that with new and improved
machinery to take the place of the old
placer washing process, there is mil
lions in it for persons who will under
take to develop the gold bearing prop
critics. The captain told me that to
ais personal knowledge three great
nuggets of gold have been found in
that county one was worth $500; an
other $3.50, and the third 800"

Adventure in China.

Mr.. A. Sydenstricker who. went from
this county as missionary to China,
writes of an attack made upon him by
some stragglers of the Chinese army.
His letter is dated ON November oath.
at Using Kiang-Pu. He had made an
excursion to some out stations. and
with Mr.. H. w. White, another mis-
sionary, was in danger of being mob
bed in the city of Hsu Chow Flu. They
escaped by rushing Into the residence
of An official, and were furnished an es-
cort out of the city the next day.
On his way back he received news of
the war and state of affairs at Picking,
and word from Chin Kiang that the
foreign ladies and children had better
go down. This aroused him to hurry
on alone. He was travelling in a cart
drawn by mule. He met thousands
of soldiers struggling to Picking, hut
was not molested until within about
ten miles of. his destination
Here two soldiers jumped into the
cart, and said it was theirs. The mis-

Training the Minds of Pupils.

The Baltimore sam says that 1.-The
schools should train the minds of chill
dren just as their bodies are trained in
a gymnasium. Above all things, the
foundation of the education should be
sound and perfect. Make the founda-
ton perfect and then train the intel
lect, teach the child how to reason cor
rectly, and if there is any proper soil
for the education it will grow with that
preparation whether the child con-
tinues at school or not. And to train
the intellect to logical methods it is the
belief of many of the most experienced
educators that the study of the classics
is the best.
If we consider the number and char
acter of the books carried upon the
backs of the children of this city to
and from school daily we are forced to
believe that the school board is of the
opinion that the proper function of the
schools is to cram the mind rather than
to train it,

within the harbor closes up another
chapter of the splendid naval work of
the islanders during the campaign
China has evidently felt severely the
loss of her second naval station on the
Gulf of Pechili, and she is now ready
to give plenary powers to her peace

WEST VIRGINIA COAL.-The report
of the commissioner of labor OF West
Virginia makes an excellent showing OF
their coal and coke product OF that
State. The report saye West Virginia
is now third in the production OF coal
among the States and second in the
production of coke. Pennsylvania ana
Ohio leads in coal and Pennsylvania
in coke. Kanawha and Fayette coun-
ties alone produce one-twenty seventh
of all the coal mined in the United
States, while in 1898, despite the strikes
and business depression, the State
produced within a few thousand OF
10000, 900 tons of coal. The high-water
mark was, reached in 1892, when the
production was nearly 100000 tons.
The outlook for the present year is
that it will outstrip 1899.
