LAZY IN NOTTOMAY.

We print elsewhere i'll to-day's paper
a communication from Mr. w a. Land.
editor of the Blackstone Courier, in re-
ply TO a communication from An Old
Virginia Shareholder printed in Sun
days Times, concerning the trial and
conviction of William II. Wilson (colored)
for attempted assault upon Nottoway
lady. As some reference is made also to
the editorial comment in The Times, it
may be we'll enough for us to point ont
that The Times did not criticise the YER
dict of the jury. Wilson had a fair ANA
impartial trial, and he was convicted
upon competent testimony.
The Virginia law on this subject IS
plain. The jury may impose the death
penalty for criminal assault or an at
tempt at criminal assault. There was
everything to show that Wilson APP
preached Mrs. Watkins with q wicked
purpose in his heart and that he put his
hands upon her person with the view Of
carrying that purpose into execution. The
fact that, for reasons best known to him
sell, ne AFTERWARDS changed MS inlnu, ulu
not excuse him. He had already violated
the law OF the land as well as tho ur-
written law of Virginia society, and there
was no escape for him. He was arrested
and taken into custody and the officers
OF the law used due diligence in protect
ing him from mob violence. even the
military being called out to guard against
any contingency. He was regularly in
dicted by the grand jury, he was tried
by a, jury of his peers, he was ably rep
resented by a lawyer who made an earn
est fight in his behalf, he was convicted
and his punishment fixed at eighteen
years in the penitentiary. when the jury
might have made the penalty death.
It is fair to presume that with the
lights before them the jury returned a
just verdict, and they set an example
which all evil-minded negroes may study
to their profit. The negro who lays his
hand IN violence upon the person of a
respectable white woman in Virginia will
surely be severely punished by the courts.

THE PART OF WISDOM.

The Legislature has done wisely to re-
peal the charter Of The Richmond and
Washington Air Line, together with the
States holdings in the Fredericksburg
road. Indeed, there was nothing else for
the Legislature to do. The company could
not be compelled to build the line TO
Washington and the worst that the Legs
lature could do was to impose the penalty
provided in the act Of Incorporation But
in order to do this it was necessary for
the States holdings in the Fredericksburg
road TO be put UP and sold, which would
have been to sacrifice a splendid invest
rlent that is enhancing IN value every
day. This was not to be thought OF and
transaction. The State is now just where
she was before the charter was granted,
barring a vast deal of unnecessary asi-
tation, and as ii turns out the fredericks-
burg stock is more valuable than ever.
To l,e sure, the State has failed 10 collect
the forfeit money. but That can hardly
be regarded as u loss, and the members
OF the Legislature have had most inter
est:ng and. let US hope, instructive ex-
perience.
IN the meantime the Fredericksburg
road has been doing business at the old
stand and has been demonstrating that
one good road between Richmond and
Washington is ample, as well as that its
earnings are ample TO pay twelve per
cent. on the States holdings as offered to
the Legislature at the last session and
declined out OF favoritism for a certain
air line. which is now more than ever
in the air.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH TIKI
SOTJpHp

Apropos of an article III these columns
yesterday concerning the relative pros
1,eritv of Virginia and the New England
States is the following paragraph from
the Grayson Journal:
one of our Democratic contemporaries
has discovered a reason for our hard
times in the South as it calls them, with
out laying the blame on old man Hanna.
Some of its reasons are as follows: We
let our thyme rot and buy oar fencing.
We throw our ashes and grease away
and buy soap. We raise yellow dogs and
buy hogs. We let our manure go to
waste and buy commercial fertilizer on
tick We send our boys out with a $40
gun and a SO dog to hunt scent birds.
We oppose every plan 10 upbuild our
town and then wonder why do not
prosper.
This is an undignifed and a somewhat
exaggerated statement of Inc case, but
HERE is much truth in what the news
paper says. The sum and substance OF it
is that the people Of the South arc -ack-
ing in thrift, that they do not make All
they can and save all they can. Ne let
things go to waste which the New Eng
landcrs take up and turn 10 profit. We
senG to the North 10 buy articles which
the New Englanders make when we
might make them at home and establish
"a home industry which yycald give en-
pioyment To our own people and keep our
money here instead of sending it else
where. 3ut the Southern people got into
The habit before the war o. sending away
for all their manufactured products, ana
habits are hard 10 break
It IS said that party Of New England
ers have established factory in the city
of Atlanta to handle waltermelons which
have hitherto gone TO waste. The crop Of
melons is usually larger than the market
demands, and many OF them are thrown
away when The crop is abundant. This
Few England concern uses the rind to
make sweet meats. the juice 10 make
vinegar. The meat To make a fertilizer,
and eren the seeds are converted into a
product that is sold in China. The state
,aent has been made in print that a
,nelon which ordinarily sells for five
cents is through these processes convert
ed :nto various proG;Icts worth in the ag-
gregate something like twenty cents. This
factory not only utilizes The waste
melons. but gives employment to :, num-
Der Of hands, and so by New England
Thrift . profitable Industry has been built
up out of product that the Southern
people have thrown away
There WAS a time when cottonsceds in
the South We're used for feeding stock or
making manure, but by and by some
Northern people discovered that this pro
duct could be converted into a valuable
oil. and now the cottonseed oil mills in
the South are among its largest indus
tries.
Me might multiply these Illustrations,
but these are enough for our purpose.
As The Southern people learn more and
more how TO utilize their waste products
and turn them to good account they will
prosper more and more and when all the
resources of the South are developed the
South viii he the most prosperous Sec
ton OF The country.

sba has no tolerance for these who are
not as extreme as she is
However. we have not introduced the
subject for tho purpose of discussing
temperance with Mrs. Nation We are
moro Interested In another statement
which she makes. She declares that the
saloon is always an outlaw. and that as
for its property the courts of Kansas
have decided that whatever is used in
it is a nuisance and has no pretense to
right or protection under the law
This is lodging the issue. The courts
may have so decided, but the courts have
never said that Mrs. Nation or anybody
else had the right to so in and destroy
s.,ch property without warrant OF law, or
to assault the keepers Of saloons. Mrs.
Nation has been Just as lawless as the
saioon-keepcrs whom she condemns aud
assaults, and the only plea that she can
make is that the end justified the means.
But does it? Is society ever benefited by
lawIcssencss and mob violence? Is 1t
possible that the Temperance cause can
be helped by such an Incorporate woman
as Mrs. Nation and by her most intem-
peraie and lawless methods? Has she
not rather brought the temperance cause
into contempt and put herself and her
associates upon a level with the saloon
Keepers IT can hardly be said that she
has brought the law in Kansas into con-
tempt, for the law was already in con-
tempt before she began her crusade. The
officers of the law wink at the lawless
saloons and give the saloon-keepcrs per-
mission TO carry on their traffic in de-
nancc OF law. But Mrs. Nation has sim
ply made u bad matter worse and added
10 the general iawlessness OF the State.
Two wrongs cannot make right.
We have a communication from q well
known prohibitionist in Richmond in
which he says that he does not approve
of Mrs Nations methods, and that he
has seen no temperance man or woman
in Richmond who does. He heartily en-
dorses The Times in its advocacy OF re-
spcct- and reverence for law, adding
that this is the paramount issue" Even
so extreme a man as the Rev. J.. G.
Broughton, of Atlanta, denounces Mrs.
Nation as an anarchist and says that she
ought 10 be in Jail, or in an asylum Mr..
Broughton says that the fight should be
made on the officers of the State, who
have failed to enforce the law, and he
is right. They are the responsible per-
sons, for they encouraged the saloon
keepers to violate the law and promised
them protection. The only possible good
that Mrs. Nation has done has been to
expose the sham and humbusgery of
prohibition in kansas.
