THE NEGROES IN TIE PUSH.

The first annual meeting of the
Board of Directors for the Industrial
High School OF the Northern Neck
was held May seth, at the Academy,
which ia located near Sharps, Va
The meeting was called to order al
IL a. m. with full board and q
number of spectators present. MANY
interesting speeches were made by
persons of both races. There were
delegates from all over the Northern
Neck representing the various edu-
cational organizations. Among the
first to speak was j. S. Walker, the
principal of the Academy, who spoke
OF the great success Of the past term
and duty to become educated in order
that our race may be made one OF
which We may be proud. Rev.
Richard Edwards. pastor of Farm.
ham church, Richmond county
delivered an interesting address on
the progress of the Negro in achiev.
ing education. His address was re-
ceived with a great deal of enthusiasm
and will be of great benefit to his
hearers.
After recess Prof. Williams, of the
Hampton Normal School, urged the
Negroes to press forward with their
educational work in order that they

MILLIONS IN BOB WHITE,

The ornithologists of the Depart.
ment of Agriculture have been max.
ing and investigation of the eco.
nomic value of the Bob White, as a
result OF which i. is now announced
that that bird is probably the most
useful abundant species on the
farm"
Field observations, experiments
and examinations show that the
quail consumes large quantities of
weed seeds and destroys many of the
worst insect pests with which farm
ers contend, and yet it does not
lnJure grain, fruit or any other crop.
1t IS calculated that from Septem-
Der 1st to April 3Oth, annually, in
Virginia alone, the total conSum ption
OF weed seed by Bob Whites amounts
to 373 tons. Some of the pests
which it habitually DESTROYS, the
report says, are the cotton boil
weevil, which damages the cotton
crop upward of $4,000 900 a wear:
the potato beetle, which cuts off
SlO,OOO,000 from the value of the
potato crop; the cotton worms, which
have been known to cause $50, O,OOO,-
600 loss in a year; the chinch bug
and the Rocky Mountain locust,
scourges which leave desolation in
their path, and have caused loss to
the extent of Sl00,0OO,OOO in some
years.
The report urges measures to secure
the preservation of the Bob Whites
in this coutry.

100000 FOR A COURT GOWN

A subject of interested discussion
IN Washington society circles turns
on Mrs. Larz Anderson's court gown.
worn by her at Queen Alexandra's
drawing room when MRS. Anderson
was presented some weeks AGO to
England's Queen.
One hundred thousand dollars of
the fortune which descended to Mrs.
Anderson from her grandfather. Mr..
Isaac Wells, of Boston, went, it is
believed, in the purchase of the gown
alone. The entire outfit, including
tiara of diamonds, costly emerald
necklace. brsoelets and corsage orna-
menta and acknowledged plumes
for the harris reckoned as repre-.
senting an outlay of 100000, bic
sum for even an American maltI.
millionaire to thrust under the ewes
of royalty. Mrs. Anderson was
before her marriage, Miss Isabej
Perkins, Of Boston.
Mrs. Lara Anderson's magnificent
gown at the court was offset by the
Duchess of Roxburghe's lovely pearls
and Mrs. George Laws lovely face.

And the wrinkly part

The action of Represen tatlv
Jones, congressional district i'm i'm
structlng its delegates to support hin
ana Montague for delegates-at-larg,
from Virginia is not without interes
IN and out of Washington. Ther,
was considerable talk here some tim,
ago as to who would constitute The
big Four" from the State. and at
that time there was gossip about Mr.
Jones. Most of the Virginia con.
gressmen said that they thought the
honors OF delegates-st-large should 90
to other worthy and prominent Vir-
glnlans, and that . congressman
should be contented with the hopors
he already had.
1t was pointed out also that "a
other Virginia congressman would
not seek to become delegates. at-large
the probability was that the conven-
ton would conclude that it would
oe improper to send one congressional
representative aud not another. as
that would be a discrimination
among some mighty good men.
hay, Swanson, Maynard, RIxey, Glass,
and, in fact, all the others from Vir-
glnla, are men of enough ability to
represent the State at st. Louis, but
they do not aspire in that direction
because they think that a congress-
man should be content with what he
has.
In the face of this sentiment
representative Jones is evidently to
be candidate at Richmond. His
convention would not have endorsed
hlm had he not asked his friends
there to have it this way.
MIR. Jones, too, boldly has the
convention to couple his name with
that of Governor Montague, so that
1t may be plain to all that they travel
together politically even if they
are not elected as delegates-at-large
together. The whole thing IS sig
nlhcant, and in a general way is a
defiant ring to the Martin people
that Mr.. Jones' district has no sup.
port for Martin now or hereafter.
Much gossip is being excited as a |
result.

APPEAL TO- YOUNG MEN.
want to say a word to the young men
whose political life II beginning - - :
Anyone entering business would be
glad of the chance to become one of an
stabished firm with years of success
behind it.
Everything great done by this country
in the last fifty years has been done
under the auspices of the Republican
party. Is not this priceless asset?
field, Harrison and Mckinley-names Sc
cure in the heaven Of fame--they are all
gone, leaving small estates in worldly
goods, but what vast possessions in prin-
ciples. memories, sacred associations! 1t
is start in life to share that wealth.
In our form of government there must
be two parties. s-.
But what young man would not rather
belong to the party that does things,
instead Of one that opposes them; to the
party that looks up. rather than down; to
the party Of the dawn, rather than of the
sunset?
For fifty years the Republican party
has believed in the country and labored
for it in hope and joy;
Has reverenced the flag and fol-
lowed it;
Has carried it under strange skies and
planted it on far-receding horizons;
Has seen the nation grow greater
every year and more respected:
Has seen the country extend its inter-
course and it's influence to regions I'M
known to our fathers;
Yet it has never abated one jot or little
of the ancient law imposed on us by God
fearing ancestors. The Constitution Of
our fathers has been the light to- our
feet. Our path is, and will ever remain,
that of ordered progress, of liberty under
the law.
But we are not daunted by progress.
We are not afraid Of the light!
The fabric our fathers builded will
stand all shocks of fate or fortune. .
While there will always be a proud
pleasure in looking back on the history
they have made, the coming generation
has the right to anticipate work not less
important. ~ !
We who are passing off the stage bid
you, as the children of Israel encamping
by the sea were hidden, to go forward.
We whose hands can no longer hold the
flaming torch pass it on to you,r that
it's clear light may show the truth to
the ages that are to come. :, r., = .

Who but the Democrats will agree

The Republicans came into power in
1897. Is that the meaning of his pres

surplus Of revenue over ordinary ex
penditures, he is in error. Mr.. Cleve-
lands closing year of his last term
showed EXCESS OF EXPENDI-
TURES OVER REVENUE to the
amount of .$1S,O52,254 The surplus was
the wrong way. The statistics were east
ly obtainable; why should Mr.. Davis
make such a inisstatement? If he meant
Mr.. Roosevelt's term, beginning in 1900
with Mr.. Mckinley, there was an ex-
cess in that year of revenue over expendi-
lures amounting to $40, 1927 ,O60. There
fore he is wrong again. In extenuation
it may be said that the Democrats never
We're good nor correct fgurers. AS, for
instance, again, when he asserts that the
revenues for the last fiscal year were
over $4O,OOO,OOO short of the expendi-
lures: He must have been guessing
again, not having authenticated figures.
In 1908 the excess Of revenue over ex-
penditures was over $52,O00O00. The
absurdity Of Mr.. Davis computations
and comparisons could not be more forci-
bly, shown than when he quotes statistics
to show the cost of. running the govern
ment and the army under the Buchanan
regime from 1857 to 1860, when the pop

by vast public improvements created and
carried on solely for the benefit of the
people. The age Of Mr.. Davis precludes
his compiling such figures himself; but
his anxiety for his party's success. leads
him to issue them without the common

using his judgment as to their application
to the matter he is discussing. Il
