POLITICS IN THE SOUTH.

In an article on the political Segre-
cation of the South" the New York Sun
volunteers the information that "112 of
Bryan's electoral votes came from the
eleven States comprising the old Seces-
sionists Confederacy." and asks. What
hope is there for the Old Confederate
South. thus practically segregated from
the ripper and more genuine civilization
of the Union" and the answer therto Is,
none, contemporary. that Is, If the mat
ter is to be viewed from your stand
point. But since when was 1t that the
civilization of the South was less genu-
Inc then the other sections of tile Union /?
Who told the Sun that such is fact?
The South understands It's position very
well and the Sun need have no solicit
tudc for its welfare.
But why does it speak of the eleven
States of the South that voted for Mr..
Bryan as 1.-The eleven States comprising
the old Secessionists Confederacy
Will the Sun never get tired of sluring

THE INFANT SANITARIUM.

In another column is published an ap-
peal by the management of the Infant
Sanltarium for assistance, to enable
them to complete the building at Yir-
ginia Beach. dedicated to the cause of
the relieving the sick children OF our
poor classes during the heatest sum-
mer months. The appeal should re-
ccive generous response from all who
can give. The immense benefit that has
been derived by the little ones during
the past nine years is Il reason why the
efforts now made should be n success.
The ladies in charge have been untiring
IN their zeal. and their appeal will, no
doubt. meet with n generous response.

inmates have been cared for. or an aver

that several Hawalians of note, who

said that number of well known citi-
zens of the United States are. If posi-
bic, more Interested in the annexation

That 1 have known adversely.
Had I ne'er slept on sorrows bed,
