The special correspondent OF the New
York Journal 81 Commerce. who has been
spending some time In the South invcs-
tigating the industrial conditions of this
section corrects some very erroneous
impressions existing at the North
touching southern cotton-mlll labor. Con-
trary to the northern idea, he says, the
average southern cotton-mlll hand, male
or female. Is neatly dressed in the mill
and out OF It, alert and quick when at
work. domesticated and tidy at home.
But an especial point made by the cores
pendent is, that at the South there is
much closer affinity between the manage
ment and the help than exists in the
North; all tending toward a contentment
which makes remote the probability OF
labor troubles OF any account and gives
the mill-owners security which Is
valuable help i'm forming plans for future
conduct Of their business operations"
True. And this closer affinity is not
confined to the cotton-mills Of the South.
1t extends to all branches of manufac-
turing in this section. The explanation
Of II lies largely I'm the fact that the
southern employer has more considera-
ton for his help than the northern en-
ployer.

At the meeting Of the Board Of Trus-
tees of La Grange, KY. last Monday no
tax levy was made. There appeared to be
no good reason why any tax at all
should be levied for the current year.
There is some money on hand, and that
together with the licenses, etc, will meet
estimated current expenses. An exchange
says La Grange is likely the only incor-
porated village with a population Of l 100
where a tax of no kind is collected. The
streets are in splendid condition.
After this news shall have gotten well
scattered around the population of La
Grange is likely to increase enormously.

DwALE, DICKINSON COUNTY. VA
February 15.-tSpecial.) 1.-THE Board OF su-
pervisors of Dickinson county met In spe-
cial session at Clintwood yesterday, ana
at the meeting the claims Of the uuaran-
tine guards were presented. but were
promptly disalowed by the board. The
quarantine was not organized as the stat
ute directs, and the board decided as they
did not authorize any steps to be taken
in this direction. and did not at all think
such steps necessary they would not pay
charges. The matter was appealed TO
court. The people are very much opposed
to the payment of these claims, and Will
fight them to the end.
The general impression now prevails
that there is no smallpox at Coeburn,
but that It Is only chicken-pox and meal
sles. No deaths have resulted and no
new cases are reported.
Judge Beavers. OF Grundy, has notified
the County Clerk that there will be no

Some of the pups have been captured.

The interest of the people Of Southwest
Virginia is centered in the work of our
State Legislature. Never before did they
take so deep an interest I'm the affairs at
the State capital. They feel that some
thing must be done in the way of re-

our representatives will be able to accom-
plish substantial results in that direction.
FARMERS BUSY WITH CROPS.
The weather here for the past week has
been balmy and springlike. The farmers
are making good use OF it, preparing for

The smallpox cases reported from ar
ferent parts of Scott county have all
proved to be 'only measles
Many of the leading Republicans of
Southwest Virginia seem 10 be very much
discouraged over the success of Mr.. Nc
Kinley's Administration. One Democrat
who voted the Republican ticket says he
would like to have an automatic kicking
machine TO administer to him gentle re-
minder every morning of his stupendous
folly. He says that many Republicans
whose confidence he possesses express
themselves in the same way. Organism

wildfre i'm the congressional election next

The New York Evening Post despairs
Of a correction of the evil involved in the
fiockins Of the young men to the cities
from the rural districts. and the conse-
quent depletion of the farms of intelligent
labor and direction. When the trolley be-
gan 10 penetrate into the rural districts.
says the Post. the theory was preached,
and found wide acceptance that the de
yelopment of easy communication be-
tween the farms and the large towns
would certainly render the younger gene
ration in the country more contented TO
stay there, and probably lead good
many in the cities who had gained little
or nothing by going there to return. But
the tendency seems thus far to be rather
the other way. Young men who have
been accustomed to hard manual labor
on the farm see much more desirable
work in the positions Of conductor and
motorman on electric railways, so that
these positions on such lines really place
new premium on abandoning agricul-
ture.
