The Awakening.

In another. column we give quite
a detailed account of the sale of
the Lee property, under the Auc
TONER'S hammer, on last Tuesday
by Mr.. A. Harris. 1t was a new
and untried way of dlsposing OF
property in this community Sew
eral times before the date of the
sale we heard several persons
vOicing their opinion that the
scheme would not work and we
head of one party who was so
bold as to venture the statement
that "Mr. Harris will not sell two
lots" We might state that those
given to such prejudgments did
not know Mr.. Harris Neither did
they know the buyers.
Mr.. Harris handled this sale
after his own peculiar fashion and
planning, and the results prove
that he prearranged the details
we'll. Not only did he sell every
lot of the 81 or 35 of the subdivl-
sion but there were bidders who
went away empty handed. The
competition that developed during
the last three offerings, which
faced Brooks street, clearly indi
Gated that all would-be buyers had
not been satisfied More lots
could have been sold to that very
crowd on the same day. Mr..
Harris simply sold all he had to
offer.
This was such surprise to our
people that it has set others to
thinking. There are several large
tracts of land on various sides of
this town, held in their entirety,
non productive, expensive to hold,
and operating against the growth
of the city much after the fashion
Of the iron shoe cramping the
growth of the Chinese lady's foot.
We do not mean to charge that
the present owners of these large
tracts will not sell an individual
buyer single lot or more, but the
single buyer llesitates to make an
investment where he may he locat-
ed for years without improvements
other than those he will be com
PEELED TO make at his individual
expense for his sole comfort and
convenience. When. however, a
large tract is laid off into blocks,
streets delineated, and buyers by
the score are on the grounds. the
individual domestic seeker feels
that there are scores of chances
of his having neighbors and that
improvements other than those to
be made by him will follow. This
principle is SO well recognized that,
at such sales, prices have a ten.
dency to advance as the number
Of buyers is multiplied.
Another view: there are four.
teen separate owners holding lots
under the recent sale of the Lee
property. ANY individual lot
owner in that tract can to day
find a purchaser quicker and at
q much higher price that could DIR.
Lee have done for the same lot
while owning the balance of the
tract. Crowley, La was assured
by the sales of a single day ON an
open prairie. Results are thus
achieved by the sales of Q single
day, when properly managed,
that could not be attained in .
life time selling on the the indiyi
dual or installment plan.

Oyster Experiment Falls.

The experiment for the propagation of
oysters in deep water undertaken last
winter by f. W. Darling and J. c. Robin
son, of Hampton, in the vicinity of Back
River and near Lynnhaven Bay, appears
TO have been unsuccessful Not single
strike has been made this season in the
areas planted. Oystermen consider this
conclusive. though as this has been an
unusually bad season, better things may
develop next year.
Darling and Robinson got a special act
through the legislature giving them a
twenty-year lease of deep water land for
TX cents the first five years, - cents the
second ilVe years and 30 cents the next
ten: The usual price for ordinary rock
is 81. A great deal of money and labor
has been expended on the experiment.

Lily White Republicans.

Mr.. EllysOn. the State Chairman of the
Democratic party OF Virginia. speaking
recently OF the Lily White Republican
movement in the South, expressed the

had recently attained their majority. and
who had no knowledge by personal ex-
perience ot the oppression and trials of
the Southern people during the dark days

This young element had in the past TO the
Republican party in the South was the
apparent ascendancy in il of the solid ne
