Thousands Of Acres Of Dismal Swamp to be
Made Into Farming Lands.

Ten thousand acres of land in the great
Dismal Swamp. heretofore unavailable
for agricultural purposes, are being con-
verted into farming lands of the richest
kind, upon which excellent crops can be
raised. Recently Il syndicate OF Ohio
capitalists purchased this great tract OF
land. The new owners have begun the
drainage of the land, which will, when
tiIlable, from it's natural richness and
fertility, produce fine crops. Much OF the
tract is heavily timbered with cypress
and juniper and sawmils will be estab-
lished for the purpose of preparing these
voluable woods for market. As soon as
the work has progressed sufficiently the
promoters of the enterprise will establish
colony of Ohioans on the property.

John S. Wise on the Suffrage Question.

Hon. John S. Wise, OF New York, while
in Richmond few hours this week, when
asked for his opinion on the suffrage
question. said: "Well, think that the
legislation that discriminates between
voters of the same class is violative OF the
Constitution Of the United States. There
is an organized movement to make a
prompt test of the new organic law OF
Virginia If it seeks to disfranchlse the ne
gro vote as such. The matter will be
taken up Immediately and pressed vigor-
ously. OF course, the people OF the North
have about reached the conclusion that
the gift OF universal suffrage to the negro
has proven failure. The disposition ex-
lists, however, to have Congress pass
law providing that the Congressional
representation should be based upon the
actual number of votes cast at the last
election. Some provision of this nature
will fit the case"
