AN HOUR WITH VIRGINIA. EDITORS.

i : e II
After speaking Of the work before the
present extra session of the Legislature
and of its confidence in the patriotism
y of the members, the Roanoke World
adds:
1T is the subject Of very general de-
sire that its task be accomplished with
no unnecessary delay. The people pc

The following from the Wytheville
Dispatch is respectfully referred to the
members of the Legislature:
.'.virginians who visited the expositions
during the past few years in, Chicago,
Atlanta, Buffalo and Charleston, have
had good reason to be ashamed at the
paucity Of exhibits from the State. We
have the agricultural wealth. and the
mineral wealth, most of it still undevel-
oped,3 and our position has been appar-
emily that of the dog in the manager. We
haven't the capital to develop our re-
sources, and we seem to discourage the
coming in of foreign capital to create
prosperity for all our people. A proper
setting forth at a national exposition Of
our natural advantages would be the
most - proftb1s Z Investment OF State
funds the NLeglslature' could make:
The Charlottesville Progress-in speak
ing Of the pension system just inaugu-
rated by the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
way. and Of the general wise. humane
and beneficial policy Of that road says:
mo one can talk. with G. and o..
!, je-, f11
and not realize that this company, by
its humane policy obtains a service which
is not purchaseable with money alone
The Roanoke Times wants a big ap-
preparation for a big Virginia exhibit at
st. Louis, but it is skepticaL It says:
at is to be doubted If our Legislators
sufficiently realize the Importance of the
exhibit to the State, to insure the atten-
ton it deserves at this time. The min
eral, manufacturing. agricultural and
other varied interests of the State are
permitted to suffer and lag because their
value and Importance are not adyer-
tised.''
The staunton News is not too much IN
love with the new Constitution. but 1t
finds some comfort in It For instance.
the News says:
There is one thing the movement for
a new Constitution has done, it has put
people to studying the fundamental law
under which we live. Before, there We're
whole lot of us who did not even know
we had Constitution, much less know
what it contained. Now a great many
people have been led to study the whole
subject, others have at least gained
some idea of what the Constitution Is
Party lines would seem to be getting
a trihe loose In some parts of the Second
District. A correspondent from SUFFOLK
says:
..The voters of Nansemond county per-
haps occupy a more unique situation
than those Of any other county in the
Second Congressional District With
three candidates in the field the average
man hardly knows how to vote. and
many of those who really have a pref
erence will be deferred from voting be-
cause of the fact that Captain Causey
may be the Republican nominee, and in
which event many would vote the Re-
publican ticket on personal grounds, de-
spite their previous Democratic prin-

MissoLonghi
BY WINGRoVE BATHoN

Copyright, 1902, by Daily Story Pub. Co
You have seen the engraving Of the
monument created by David Dangers to
the memory of Marcos Botzaris, and you
know whether or not the great sculptor
was successful in his determination that
he who fell at Missolonghi should have
! monument worthy of his heroism and
patriotism.
The story of that monument, sad and
pretty tale, is little known-too little
known We forget toe easily. There Is
10 longer a Botzaris; there is no longer
Mavrocordato. MIssolonghi itself is re-
| membered but as the place where Byron
c1ed, and even then only when one says
''Missofonghi-1S24." And that is a long
time ago.
The day. David Dangers found the in
spiraticn he sought for his monument to
Botzaris he was walking among the
tombs of Perela-Chaise. He saw a young
girl lying en- a gravestone, at full length.
tracing with a colored chalk the name
Marcos BotZaris" on the headstone of
the tomb. She had just finished the last
one of the letters on the otherwise blank
shaft of marble.
MY child David called to her, as he
approached, why do you write that
name upon that tomb? That tomb has
nothing to do with Botzaris.''
Il know it, Monsieur she replied "I
simply came here for walk and l was
thinking Of Marcos Botzaris. Besides, the
monument has nothing to do with him
because it is not half good enough for
him, beautiful as it is in it's simplicity
why do You think it is not good
enough for hifn?" the sculptor asked
He was Greek, Monsieur she said
simply.
She wept. David took note of her She
was about fourteen, just budding into
Womanhood, with the travail of the
transition expressed in her every feature,
every limb.
Here, ne said to himself, was not only
the subject for his composition, but the
model for his art as well. His statue
took shape in his mind. This girl, he
thought to himself, would represent,
copied in stone, to the most casual OBJ
server the struggle for freedom. She
would bend for him over the tomb Of
Botzaris to drag the secret of that free
dom from him and give to the world In
effigied marble the story BotZaris fell too
soon to finish. Dawning life the reincar-
nation of liberty, would take up the work
of the dead, in its ever continuing effort
to fulfill it's mission. 1t would be his mas
terpiece.
Questioning the girl. he learned-noth-
ing. She had nothing to tell, she said.
Her name? She would not give it? Her
residence? She shook her head. She told
