THE LAND GRABBER'S ACT.

The last Legislature OF Virginia en-
acted a law, now popularity known as
1.-THE Land Grabber's Act" Under it's
provisions, the lands of persons who
were delinquent in the payment of
taxes, and which in consequence
had been purchased by the
State, became liable to be
taken for these taxes by any per-
son who applied for them. The appli-
cant was not required to advance the
taxes. Any irresponsible person could
make application. No means of pro-
tecting himself in court was given by
the act to the landowner. No pro-
vision was made for the sale of only
enough of the land to satisfy the taxes,
but the whole tract must go. The
owner who wished to save his land
from the ''land- shark was required
to pay fine of five dollars, not to the
Commonwealth, but to the land -grabber
who applied for the land. Thousands
of dollars have been wrung from the
pockets of the citizens of Virginia by
this Land Grabber's Act to go into the
pockets of the ''grabbers. 1t has re-
Gently been declared unconstitutional
by one of the circuit judges of Virginia.
Governor ]. Hoge Tyler approved
the Land Grabbers Act. He signed it.
It could not have become a law without
his signature.

The hot-headed Democrats Of RICH
mond have taken an unwise step in
demanding the removal of John Shep7
pard, the colored janitor Of the chan
Gerry court. Sheppard is Democrat
and the humble position he holds is
nothing more than he deserves. Then,
too, he is an old time negro and those
of us who have grown up with them
know that they are deserving of some
recognition for their faithfulness to
our homes and loved ones in the civil
war. To relieve Judge Lamb of apy
the janitor resigned.
but it is to be hoped that the judge
will decline to accept bis resignation.

Hon. j. r. Wingfeld, Charlottesville.
q My Dear Sir:-J answered your first
letter found here on my return FROM
ten days absence from Belle Hampton
yesterday. hasten to answer yours
OF yesterday just received. l believe l
failed to answer as to DR.. @, in my let.
ter Yesterday. l have MOI been able to
learn anything from the doctor except
to hear from some of his friends that
he is having a hard fight, and l am
afraid chances are against him.
I will gladly see Hugh Preston and
get him to write to Alfred Preston. l
heard the brother in law of Caddall
announce himself as positively Oppos-
ed to Gen. Lee, but nobody will ever
be able to find out who Caddall favors
until he votes. My opinion is that
Caddall will not be for Lee. Believe
me, truly your friend,
J. HOGE TYLER.
The Governor says: "From the night
of that interview lin July, 1887 to
this hour have never felt anything
but indignation that men would at
tempt to control political Offices by the
means which he (Wingfield) revealed
TO lQG Ou budb UCCdSlOu, d1Q you III
the latter part of October in that year,
after his gubernatorial canvass had
been over for two or three months, he
wrote me the above letters, in which
he gives me all the information he had
been able to secure which would be of
service in Martins canvass for the
Senate. His was a most virtuous in
dignation truly. and was manifested in
a most consistent manner.
Note in these letters the Governors
report on his home county tMontgom-
cry, although in his interview he
claims Pulaski as his nome county.
Note he said Il will gladly see Hugh
Preston and get him to write to Alfred
Preston"
Hugh Preston was the general man
ager of Gov. Tyler's canvass in 1898.
Alfred PrestonI understand was chair
man of the Democratic committee of
Botetourt county and most probably
had influence with Mr.. Brugh, dele
gate from Botetourt, and who voted
for Martin for Senator in 1898.
reaffirm every statement made in
my interview OF August 9TH. [ fully
believe Gov. Tyler gave effective aid
to Martin. The entente cOrdiale was
perfect between the Governor and me,
and held good until Martin was NOM
mated. j. RICHARD WINGFIELD.

HENS AND THEIR FRUIT.
Value of Chickens and Eges Produced Last
Year Was Fully seso. 900. 900.

Value Of Chickens and Eggs Produced Last
Year Was Fully se9O.oOO.OoO
From the Chicago Chronicle.
p. II. Sprague, a Chicago poultry
dealer, read a paper before the farm |
ers' institute at Princeton recently, in |
which he stated that the production OF |
chickens in the United States last year
reached $500, 900, 900. Accepting these
figures as approximately correct, we
must conclude that the hen plays an
important part in our American life
But we will better understand the rel
ative importance of that part when we
come to make some comparisons.
The value Of our tobacco crop has
rarely been as much as s43, 900, 600
The value OF our potato crop is less
than $50, ,000,0 600 on the average. The
value of our barley crop is not often as
much as 100000, 900. An oat crop worth
5000, ,00c, 600 is unusual. Our annual
output of pig iron has rarely exceeded
$3.50, 100000 in value. Coal, by far the
most valuable of our mineral products,
gives total annual outpIt OF some
| 5000, ,000, 900
Raw cotton, wheat, hay and corn are
the only four p uducts of our country
that exceed in value hens and phens'
eggs, according 70 the above estimate.
Hand cotton sometimes follows the lat
ter IN the order of Importance, the
crop having exceeded $500, 900, 600 in
value only three times, and the highest
having been not quite S3lO, 900 600.
The wheat crop has ranged in value
from 2l3,000, 900 to S5l3, ,0O0, 600. and
the corn crop from about S440, 900, 600
to &7e3,O0O, 0O0. Tue average value of
the hay crop may be stated at about
$500, 900 900. From this comparison the
Importance of the heu, especially Ia
our agricultural economy, will be ap
preciated,
If Mr. Sprague stated the value OF
the egg product separately the fact is
not reported. 1t would be interesting
TO know the value of the egg output
Probably it exceeds the value of any
mineral output excepting coal, but not
excee aing pig iron. Probably, too, il
exceeds the value OF any farm croE
except corn, wheat, hay, cotton and
oats, and it may even exceed oats. The
hen Is by no means to be despised.
