A Town in Charlotte County
without a Woman in it.

A correspondent of the Farm
vile Herald writes the following
interesting letter, which the
Herald prints under the caption,
"a Womanless Town"
81 write from Randolph, Char
lotte county, town composed OF
bachelors, and no member of the
gentler, better sex among the
whites. I don't know that this
is true of any other town of like
size in the known world. | have
been curious to know how this
condition came about, and was
told by one person that no woman
could exist here because of chills.
Another said [ have tried to
induce another mans sister to
come to live here and she just
won't. No matter what the
cause no mans sister is here, and
/ confess to a feeling Of strange
ness not to say loneliness.
Marriage may sometimes be a
failure, but before | would live in
womanless town / would run the
nowaday risk of marrying sight
unseen. Of course | haven't seen
a flower blooming here, nor have
| heard Il chicken crow. AS night
comes on pail settles on the en-
tire urb and suburbs, and nothing
remains to do but to go to bed
with the hope of dreaming of places
where woman brightens and
blesses, and where the merry voice
of childhood is heard.

A Thing of Beauty.

A thing of beauty is JOY forever.
It's loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothlngness, but still will keep
A bower quiet for us and sleep
Full of sweet dreams and health and quiet
breathing.
Therefore on every morrow are we
A flowery band TO bind us to the earth.
Spite of dependence, of the inhuman
dearth
or noble natures, of the gloomy days,
OF all the unhealthy and oerdarkened
ways
Made for our searching; yes, in spite of
all,
Some shape of beauty moves away the
From our dark spirits. Such the sun. the
moon,
Trees old and young, sproutlng shady
boon
For simple sheep, and such are daffodils
With the green world they live In; and
clear rills
That for themselves cooling covert
make
'Gainst the hot season; the mid forest
brake,
Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk rose
blooms;
And such, too, is the grandeur OF the
dooms
We have imagined for the mighty dead;
All lovely tales that we have heard or
read,
An endless fountain of immortal drink,
Pouring unto us from the heavens brink.

statistics are taken from the census
bulletins and show that there are
nearly 400 towns and cities in the
South containing more than $500
inhabitants with a total negro
population of l 100000. In Ala
bama, South Carolina, North Caro-
lima, Arkansas and Missouri the
urban negro population constitutes
about II per cent. of the race re-
siding in those States. But i'll
Delaware the urban population is
3S per cent. of the whole; in
Georgia | per cent; in Kansas 30
per cent; in Louisiana Is per cent;
in Maryland 40 per cent; in Mis-
souri, So per cent; in Tennessee q
per cent; in Texas 20 per cent; in
Virginia 10 per cent; in West
Virginia 20 per cent.
Between 1890 and 1900 the
negro population in Washington
increased 13 per cent, in Baltimore
Is per cent, in New Orleans 20
per cent, in Philadelphia 56 per
celt., in New York &c per cent, in
Memphis 70 per cent, in Louisville
Sc per cent, in Atlanta q per cent,
in st Louis 80 per cent, in Chicago
Ill per cent, in Savannah % per
cent, in Norfolk "a per cent. We
are interested to note however, that
there was a decrease in the negro
population of Richmond during
that time of 100. In 1890 the
number of negroes in Richmond,
according to this report, was
32,33O; in 1900, 32,230. The
negro population in Washington
and Chicago remained about
stationary. 1t is shown from this
table that there are fifteen cities
with more than 10000 negroes
each and with total negro popula-
ton of nearly 100000.
1t is a strange thing to us that
negroes should flock to the cities
when the country offers them sc
much better inducements. True
in some instances the negro can
do better in town than in the coun
try, but if he wants to 90 into bust
ness for himself agriculture is the
occupation which he should adopt
; Mother Earth does not draw TIL
: color line. Under the same con
| ditions the farm will produce tn
? same for the negro as it will for tn
= white man, and when the negr

stops to inquire whetherit is fror
7 a white mans farm or IL blac

nation in agriculture.

The City Negro.


Richmond Leader.
THE LEXINGTON GAZETTE says
3here are large numbers of negroes
n that town who loaf around from
lay to day picking up Il bare
existence and stubbornly refusing
TO 90 out into the rural districts
where they could find comfortable
homes, plenty to eat and fair
remuneration for their labor.
The negro is becoming less and
less fond of country life. He
prefers the city and the negro
population of the cities is increas-
ing, while that of the rural districts
is decreasing. In the current No
of the Southern Workman is an
article giving some interesting
statistics in this connection. These

ri .hmond Times.
The LEXINGTON GAZETTE says
that from the farmers Of R03k-
bridge county comes up the cry
that it is impossible to secure re-
liable labor. That condition is
not confined to Rockbridge. We
hear the same complaint from
various sections of the State,
especially from the counties in
the black belt, where there were
formerly many negroes. But Il
large number Of negroes are now
finding employment in the mines
or on the railroads and they pre-
fer this to farm work, because they
receive better pay and there is
more or less Of adventure in mining
and railroading.
There has come a great change
in this respect during the past
several years and the farmers of
Virginia must meet the new con-
ditions. They must rely in the
main upon themselves and their
sons to till the soil, and that means
that farm operations must in a
measure be curtailed. The average
farmer cannot under existing con-
ditions have his "brOad acres.
He must confne his operations, he
must reduce his acreage, he must
improve his lands and make one
acre produce as much as two
acres produced under the old
system. If that rule is followed
we believe that it will eventually
result in a great good to the farm
ing community. There is more
profit in cultivating a small, rich
acreage than in cultivating large,
poor acreage.
But what is to become Of the
lands which are not titled? The best
thing to do with them is to sell
them to settlers who may be in
duced to come in from the outside,
and we believe that it is now
entirely practicable to bring num-
bers of such settlers into Virginia
Several days ago we mentioned
the fact that gentleman from
| s uth Dakota. who was educated
i'm this State, had purchased lands
in Underwater Virginia, with view
to selling them TO persons whom
he expected to bring from the
West. Since that time we have
had a call from another citizen Of
South Dakota, who is engaged IL
the same work. He has already
brought Il number of Western peo
plc here and settled them on Nlr
pinia farms and he expects t.
bring many more. Lands in thu
North and Northwest are nov
very high in price, bringing S5'
to 800 an acre, and many wh'
purchased years ago at mucl
lower price are selling out, il view
of seeking warmer climate
These settlers are favorably dis
posed toward Virginia, but almos
invariably they ask these tw
questions:
"Why is land so cheap in Vii
ginia?"
"If that is IA good country, VIII
n have not the people found it on
0 in the last thirty years."
The land agent says that he ha
n much difficulty in giving salts
!, factory answers to these questions
Northern and Western people cor
y tend that the land cannot be wort
much or the prices would not b
d so low. The answer is slmpl
r enough. The landowners OF VII
, ginia are what we call 'lanC
d poor" They have more Ian
t than they can proftably cultivat
This surplcs land is lying idle an
u is dead loss to the owners, IL
o they must pay taxes, and they r.
~ ~ :eive no profit when it is n'
cultivated.

at 10 o'clock yesterday
The following members were
present: Professor George w.
Walker, president of the Virginia
State Sunday School Association,

Professor Walker presided at
the session, and NJ. Davis acted
as recording secretary. 1t was
decided to locate the headquarters
of the Executive Council in Lynch
burg for the next year, and the
five members from Lynchburg were
appointed a working committee to
hold monthly meetings and trans
act any business of Importance.
A permanent organization was
effected by the election of George
f. Caskie as chairman of the
Executive Committee, and VIM.
II. Wraneck as treasurer and cor
responding secretary. Plans for
future work were fully discussed,
and the local committee was
authorized to ascertain the exact
financial condition of the Associa
ton, and decide at a future meet
ing as to the advisability Of employ
ing field secretary.
The needs and Importance of the
work done by the State Sunday
School Association are very great.
1t was shown from the discussion
of the different members of the
committee that much work can be
done during the next year in the
way of organizing Sunday schools,
ETC., if the Sunday schools and
those interested in Sunday school
work throughout the State will
give this movement this proper
financial encouragement.
A leafet published by the AS
ISOLATION defines its purpose as
follows:
To secure the active cooperation
of Christian workers of all evan
gelical denominations in promot-
ing the growth and efficiency of
: Sunday schools by means of county
and district organizations and con
ventions and Institutes.
To combine in one compact
| body the entire force of Sunday
, school workers for mutual help,
counsel and inspiration.
1t is the work of the denomi

DESPERATE KILLS DEPUTY.

Columbia, S. c., July ga phone
message from Aiken county says that
Jeffcoat. desperate who has been
pursued by posse, turned on the sher-
III party and killed deputy tonight.
Inc desperate man then made his es-
cape into the swamp. Gov McSweeny
mas ordered bloodhounds to the scene
and offers a heavy reward.
About midnight tonight the Gov
ernor received the following dispatch
from Wagner, in Aiken county:
SWeeny, Columbia. S. c.: Jeffcoat
found. Killed one of our men. Escaped
to swamp. Send bloodhounds to Perry
Tonight on train No. 30.
J. A. Picnes, deputy sheriff.
The telegram is evidently bungled so
far as the signature is concerned.
The Governor tried to get Wagner,
but failed. Then inquiries were made
as to the getting of bloodhounds. 1t
was found impracticable to get the
dogs off. Gov. McSweeny was anx-
ious to do anything possible, but had
to content himself with sending the
following message:
To Sheriff Owen Alderman, Aiken,

deputy sheriff, wires from Wagners, as
follows:

me know how, l can assist you. NJ. b.
insolvency, Governor"
Jeffcoat is the man supposed to oe
the one for whom the Governor offered
reward of 800 few days ago, though
no name was given. The reward was
offered upon the request of citizens OF
Aiken, who alleged that a gang Of
horse thieves were going over Aiken
county armed to the teeth with Win
chesters and terrorizing the people, nc
attempt being made to capture the
leader or his gang.

ADVICE TO ARMY.
Secretary Root Issues "a Statement
Urging Hard study.

Washington, July 22.-Secretary
Root, before leaving Washington to-
day, issued a statement urging upon
the army the duty of "perfecting it,
self in military science and skill and
of promoting the preparation Of the
United States against future wars"
The Secretary points out that since
April 1898, 1,542 lieutenants have been
appointed who have had no means of
acquiring systematic military
education and says that these
officers should have an oppor-
tunity for broad and thorough
training. He refers to the recent pro-
vision by Congress for an enlarged
system of military education and asks
the hearty cooperation on the part
of every officer in the organization in
officers schools which will be estab-
lished at the largest posts without de-
lay. Careful attention to the instruc-
ton of the newly appointed officers Is
enjoined upon all regimental troop,
battery and company commanders.
