Old jamestown.
Fairfax Herald.)

Delegate Barley, of Alexandra, mas IN
troduced a bill in the House Of Delegates
appropriating $4,000 to the preservation
OF jamestown Island. The bill is pro-
per one and we hope Mr.. Barley Will De
able TO secure its passage. This historic
spot has been too long neglected. A good
norton of the old island has been washed
away by the waters Of James river, ana
unless proper action be soon taken the
site Of the first English settlement on
this Continent will disappear forever
New England yenerates and preserves
Plymouth Rock, and is honored for doing
but Virginia permits this and other his
toric points of greater value to go TO de-
cay and ruin for lack OF proper attention.
In a very short while we will reach the
three-hundredth anniversary OF the f1rst
settlement at jamestown, when grand
celebration will be in order. Shall we, IN
the mean time, permit the great historic
spot to be wiped from the face or the
earth? We know the cry OF economy
will be raised against the measure-and
il will always be i'm order-but II Is ire
duently urged to defeat meritorious mea-
sures while less deserving objects receive
attention from motives OF political eXpe-
diency. Make this appropriation 10 pre-
serve old jamestown, and let economy De
practiced in the right directions. Every
intelligent and patriotic Virginlan and
American will commend the Legislature
for preserving the precious old Landmark.

ger said: 1.-THE demand for freight ac-
commodation from Newport News during
the year has been good. we nave SIX
steamers regularly engaged IN the traue'

There are several new boats building

from 10000 to 11,0oO tons dead weight

that we should be able to place them

owing to the engineers strike on the
other side the work is being retarded,
and il is possible that the first boat
will not be completed for three months.
The Rapidan is the name OF the first
new one. She is of about II, 900 tons capac-

maintained ever since the line was in
augurated, as shippers have found they

The Sugsr-Beet.
Geesburg washingtonian)

The sugar-beet convention, which has
been called by the businessmen OF
Fredericksburg, to be held in that city
on the 10Th OF January should have
representatives from all the counties Of
this section Of Virginia. AS the con-
ventlon requests the county judges 10
designate representative from their re-
spective counties. we hope one will be
named from this county thereby show
ing that Loudoun Is in sympathy with
the movement looking TO the cultivation
OF the sugar beet In this State and the
establishment Of plants for the manufac-
ture Of beet sugar. 1t is a growing enter
prise In the States OF the West and
North. with no better natural advantages
for the purpose than Virginia has. We
have soil well adapted to the growth OF
the beet a climate well suited. and plenty
of idle labor for the work required.
We hope the Fredericksburg convention
will be largely attended, and practica
steps will be taken TO establish that in
dustry In Virginia. 1t will create a new
department in our agriculture, which will
certainly prove profitable.

Their Woes Justice Johns Xmas
Gift.


Gift.
DRINKS were the mainstay OF the Sultan
OF the Police Court yesterday morning,
though there were several sinners Of
deeper hue to engage his attention. The
Justice remembered once to have heard,
or read, somewhere, why the day was
set apart to be observed more than all
other days, and dealt kindly with his
hayward visitors for II.
Thomas Taylor (colored) was charged
with carrying a concealed weapon, and
fined $50 and the costs.
Toney Sternsdorf was charged with
striking Charles Rosser with a bottle.
but the case was continued until Tues
day. Toney and Rosser were recipients
of Justice Johns Christmas gift on
Thursday. They got in a fight in honor
OF Christmas Friday night, and Rosser's
face was pounded with bottle till he
had case Of the swell head. Toney
claims that he had TO strike him In self
defence.
In the case of John Brown, charged
with stealing a bushel of coal from the
Chesapeake and Ohio Company, the ac-
cused was required 10 give 800 security
for thirty days.
Court adjourned then. and until dinner
Justice John busted himself with his
scrap-book.
While many had looked at the Justice >
clemency In letting some OF the jail-birds
go as an act of great kindness to them,
and a Christmas gift. there Is another
side which Is attractive also. The State
is also beneficiary during the holidays
to no mean extent. For the board of
each prisoner per day the State pays Is
cents. So far fifty-four inmates have
been released. and but six have returned.
That is net clearance sale OF forty
eight, or in currency. sl2 per day. II
