net frocks. The new modes lend them
selves particularly we'll to development
in these thin stuffs, and the materials
themselves are beautiful beyond de-
scription.
Handwork in all it's forms is lavished
upon these frocks, yet they retain a
most misleading air of sweet SIM
plicity, and do not jump al the eyes as
did many of the modes of past seasons.
The general impression produced is
one of picturesque grace and harmony,
of soft flowing lines and delicate tints.
1t is not until one examines the de-
lectable whole that one realizes how
much art and time have gone into the
making. Multitudes of fine hand tucks,
open work, inset lace, shirrings, are On
the fine lingerie frocks.

barred off into inch squares by the tint

knots, the petal effect given by radiat-

Working Overtime Again.

Denver, COL, April 15.-Gen. Frank
lin D. Baldwin, commander of the
department of the Colorado, who has
been asked by the war department at
Washington to explain an Interview
in this city recently, in which he was
quoted as speaking disparingly of the
negro as soldier, says that his state
ments were misunderstood. In an
Interview printed in the News Wednes-
day morning, the general is credited
with the following statement:
1.-The inference from the interview
in question by which 1 am made to
appear as disregarding the lives of
the negro and Filipino soldier is RI
diculous, as my past record will sus-
tain. AS to the portion of the inter-
view relative to the Filipino and a ne
gro soldier being disparaged, 1 was
entirely misquoted, for the wording
was of the harshest character, and
what intended to say was to express
ar exactly opposite sentiment, as my
feelings regarding the Filipino and
negro soldier. I class both as second
only to the American soldier, and I
would venture any military enter
prise with either one of those nation
alities. 1 consider the Filipino as
susceptible to the highest state of
:cipline, and that when brought to
the test would make magnificent
fighting material. I would trust my
chances for success and my reputa-
ton alone with the Filipino or the
negro soldier"

The scarcity OF labor in this Sec

consideration. The truth OF the
matter is that something has got to
be done to procure supply of farm
labor. The supply has gradually
fallen off for many years and the con-

kinds of truck have produced condi
tions that must be met and our PEG
ple had as we'll seek some means Of
relief now as later. In fact it should
have been done long ago.

Oyster Meeting.

There was an enthusiastic oyster
meeting at Chincoteague Island on
Monday night A letter was read
from Representative Matthews, in
which he stated, that be was making
the fight OF his life and that almost
single-handed The League pledged
itself to support him as far as it had
power. Mr.. o. N. Jones stated, that
he had been to Richmond and it was
the intention of those favoring the
Jordan measure to take the rocks
from us. A petition, which read, as
follows, il being circulated by the
different orders in the county for
signature:
1--WE, the undersigned members, do
most earnestly pray your Honorable
Body, the Legislature and Senate of
Virginia, to vigorously oppose the
Jordan bill, to break the Baylor Sur
vey, now pending in the House OF
Delegates, as its terms are inimical
to the interests Of all those engaged
in taking oysters, clans and crabs,
from natural grounds. If this bill be-
comes law it will take from us our
living, and we will not be able to feed
and clothe our wives and little ones.
1t is surely un-American to take
from us, without our consent, what
God has given us; for no other pur-
pose than to make the poor poorer,
and the rich richer. We appeal to
your sense Of justice, as true Vir-
ginianS, do not let this bill to become
a law"
1t is said that hundreds in the vari'
GUS orders will sign this petition.
Messrs. w. p. Reed, d. R. Watson
and Isaac Reynolds will leave for

our cause.
