THE FOURTH DISTRICT.
The Withdrawal Of Jones-AnOther
COIored Candidate.

PETERSBURG, VA, October A.-(Spe-
cial)-The withdrawal of Thomas L.
Jones, the colored Republican candidate
for Congress in this district, from the
contest, while causing much comment, is
not matter Of great surprise. The Re-
publican convention which met at Chase
city split into two-one faction nominal
ting Jones and the other Hon. r. Z.
Thorp. Each one claimed 10 be the regu-
lar candidate, and up TO Saturday each
had made an active canvass. Notwith-
standing the fact that the Republican
National Committee some time ago de-
clared in favor Of Thorp as the regular
nominee. Jones said he would remain in
the field until the end, and he was sup
ported by strong influence In his party
He seems TO have changed his mind
after a conference in Washington. His
name. however, will appear on the OFF,
cial ballot in this district, it being now
too late 10 have II taken of, and will
doubtless be voted for by many of his
colOred friends, who do not favor the
election of Mr.. Thorp, and many others
will not vote at all. There is much
apathy among the Republicans OF the
district. and their vote will fan far short
Of the average.
Jones's withdrawal will not affect Mr..
EDess chances 10 any material extent.
He would have beaten both Of the Re
publican candidates put together. He will
certainly beat his one opponent

gresham Bailey. OF Texas. stating that
he would certainly speak in Petersburg
on Saturday night next. The Academy

The war has knocked the Maine fish

plains itself:
RICHMOND, Ind, May 10th, 1898.
To the Patrons of the Schools of Richmond:
During the past two years the teach
ers and pupils of our schools have
been doing all in their power to beau
tify the school rooms of the city. A
few valuable pictures and works of
art have been bought in each building
that add greatly to the attractiveness
of these homes of the children. We
hope to do more during the nexf year.
The children make the school tlsei5
home for six or seven hours ollC1 dlFsl
of the school year. That the bare1
plain walls Of these rooms should be
oeautified by the presence of beauti-
full pictures ard true works OF art i
admitted and desired by all. By sur-
rounding the children with the work of
great artists and historic scenes, they
will become acquainted with what is
good in art, and will unconsciously
absorb its influence and come to ap-
preciate it intuitively. Ii the schools
can be made attractive with works OF
art and beauty, much may be done to
educate the taste, to refine the imag-
nation, purify the feelings, and add
gentleness to The character of our
young people. A knowledge and ap-
probation OF true art does much to
make the character of the man beauti-
full.
In the selection of works of art for
the schools great care has been taken
to buy none but the works of the
worlds great artists, and those that
have great educational value and are
refining and elevating in character.
We have no means of carrying on
this work in the schools except through
the voluntary contributions of the
teachers, pupils and parents During
the past year and a half nearly one
hundred and fifty dollars have been
contributed 10 this cause.
Daring the next week we wish to
ask for another contribution fer this
purpose. and urge that all parents and
those interested in the schools con-
tribute something. The teachers of
each room will receive the money from
their pupils and the patrons of their
school. All money will be expended
for the benefit of the building where it
is contributed. Respectfully,
7. A. Morn,
Superintendent of Schools.
