Mrs. Lowry lived alone, her nearest

tier skull had been fractured and her
body awiully butchered up.
The purpose of the murder appeared
to be solely robbery, nothing being dis
turbed except one bureau drawer n the
room.
This had been broken open with an ax
which the old lady kept in the room, aud
il is estimated that about 500 in cash
was taken. In another drawer OF the

turbed.

NOT INVOLUNTARY sERvIrrDE.

NOT INVOLUNTARY SERVITrDE.
A great clamOr il raised in the Repub-
liean press OF the North and South over
the practice of peOnage. under sanction
OF State laws, in Alabama and Georgia
as the result OF violated contracts for
labor and rents, in which it is character
lied as involuntary servitude or slavery
similar to that which existed prior TO the
civil war As a matter OF fact, there il
no similarity between the two conditions,
and nothing but a strained construction
can make il so appear When the negro
signs a contract to labor or to lease prop
erty for a specified term he does so with
a foil knowledge OF the penalties he in
ours in violating the contract, aud in thu
exercise OF his fnl rights a. a citizen aud
a. freeman His right to make such a
contract, and his duty 70 fulfil il. are in.
disputable, and nothing but fraud will
vitiate such Notwithstanding In
dex-Appeal.
We heartily endorse the position
OF the lndex-Appeal, and have so
held all the time These laws were
made to protect the farmer and
owners OF property against ire
sponsible renters, and to compel
such parties under pains and penal
ties to comply with their contracts
voluntarily entered into 1t pro-
tects white and, colored alike. As
we have said, the law may be abused
IN some instances. but that does not
show that it is a bad law, aud IL
being declared Unconstitutional by
an unfriendly court does not show
that it is wrong.

VlRGlNlA'S EXHIBIT AN ST.

A Large Portion Of State Appropri .

alton viii go For Salaries.
Under the title an Exhibit Of OF
iicers' the Newport News Times
Herald, some days ago. called at
tention to the fact that if the naming
of officers in connection with the Vir-
GINA exhibit at the st. Louis Expo
sitiOn continues, the greater part OF
the 100000 appropriated for the eX-
hibit will 90 into salaries and the ex-
hibit will largely consist OF a iob-lot
of officials.
Up 10 the present time three com
missiOners, an assistant commits
siOner, secretary and superinten-
dent, a collector OF dark tobacco and
another Of light tobacco, collector
OF mineral and forest exhibits and n
press agent have been appointed
This, we submit, is pretty good
start, though it has been given out
that q few more jobs, in connection.
with the exhibit, are lying around
loose. The Times Herald charges
that the salaries and expen SEES Of the
men already named, will eat up 500
600 of the $50, 900 appropriation, while
about SO, 600 more will 20 into the
department of relics.
If the fact are as charged. IA rank
imposition is being practiced on the
Stste of Virginia. The TRUTH of the
business is that two capable men
could have done all the work requir-
ed in connection with the exhibit
we say capable men and do not mean
shopworn politicians out of a job.
To have made this hardly-won APP
preparation for an exhibit of Nir-
ginia's resources at st. Louis the oc-
casion for the distribution OF "A lot OF
soft snaps is nothing less than a rank
scandal, If the thing has been done,
as the Times Herald charges.
