WHILE OLD Virginia has had many
ms and downs since 1861, losing large
mart of her territory, dominated In turn
by military governors and carpetbag-
gers, after what had been left her had
been devastated by war, there can be
no doubt that she, In many respects
is emerging from the dark clouds
clouds Of adversely stronger and more
resplendent than 10 days OF old. Apart
from the wonderful development OF Der
resources, the expansion OF her tooac-
co interests, locomotive works. etc.,
her main ports are becoming known
over most of the habitsble globe. 1t is
with pride that natives of the Old Do
minion see the ports of Norfolk, New
mort News and others mentioned 30
often In foreign ship news. while the
largest class Of steamships built at the
latter place will soon be crossing the
Pacific ocean with mails and psssen-
gers for Japan and China. 10 addition
to the construction Of the largest
class of war vessels the steamship

10 conjunction with what Ia abov'
stated it may be said that the finest

Mr.. ROBERT G. OGDEN, Of New
York. and his party of distinguished
educators, editors and dlvines, who
have been visiting various institutions
Ia the south, arrived In Lyncnpurg yes
terday shortly after noon and visited
the Rsndolph-Macon Woman's Col
lege. They were given q cordial vel
come by the college faculty and au-
thorities. DR.. Psrkhust and Bishop
McVicars, who were among the visi'
tors, spoke eloquently of their expert
ences in the south, and declared that
they had received new ideas and new
conservation. One million dollars as
an educational fund to provide schools
NAV be given to the States of North
Carolina, South Caroline, George, and
Alabama within the next few days by
northern philanthroplsts. The expert
ences OF the bishop and doctor are but
repetitious of that of most fairminded
and intelligent people who have any
faculty for observation. They saw q
quiet, oonten ted, provident peoples
abreast OF the times In every particular,
and the peers Of any on earth. The
familiar intercourse of representative
Northern and Southern people, when
of the conservative and thoughtful type,
is healthful to both and soon dissipates
the gloomy pictures painted by the
radical elements of the former section.
