Negro Taxpayers and Free Books.

The Lvnchburg News, edited by
Congressman Carter Glass. i'm an
editorial on the question of free
books, says:
Let the white people, of Virgins
remember that the total amount OF
State taxes paid into the treasury
by the blacks for all purposes is less
by 800, 900 than the amount il
costs TO pay the criminal expense,
OF the race and to care for the col.
ored insane. Let them remembe,
that the total amount paid into the
State school fund by the blacks or
real and personal property Just
covers the amount paid annually
by the State to the Colored Normal
school at Petersburg. Let them
remember that while the negro
constitutes 33 per cent OF the pop
OF Nirglnin, he pays less than 4
per cent. of the taxes of the State
For every dollar in free books
given the black race would pay 4
cents, and the white people would
pay 90 cents. Every time free
first reader was handed a colored
pupil it would cost the negro !
cent and the white people would
pay the other p cents. The blacks
receive from the State each wear
about 1926, 900 for schools. They
pay into the school funds approx
mately Sl7 200 on local tax, $4,000
on State tax and So, 900 on capita
tax, making Il total of SIS. 900.
They now receive for their school
ing $3.50. 1000 more than they pay in.
The Republican plan Is to increase
this 100000 at an additional ex-
pense to the negro Of 81. 900. 1t
will cost 100000 to supply the
negroes with free books. The
negroes will pay $1,000 of this. and
the white people will pay the 500
600 additional.
With this record of what the
white people of the State are do
ing for the colored race, and what
they have been doing out of their
poverty for that race ever since the
war Is it right that the white people
be made to pay 100000 of taxes
every year To furnish the blacks
with free books Should not the
negro at least pay for his school
books With white children
throughout the country districts
needing better schools, better
teachers, and longer terms, must
they still wait in order that the
blacks shall have free books fur
nished at the expense of the par
entS whose children need better
schools!
Weask the thinking and patriotic
citizen which is most needed for
our schools better teachers and
longer terms. or free books under
such conditions!
The answer from the white
people of the Southside and East
ern Virginia is practiclly unani-
nous against such an iniquity.
The white children want better
chance. VIII the white people of
theValley and the great Southwest
consent to tax themselves not only
To provide books for their own
children, but also to help provide
free books TO the negroes.
The Democratic party makes no
attack ON the negro. 1t has given
him generously the means of the
State to help educate his children.
1t is its purpose To treat him fairly
and to help him To better living in
every legitimate way.

the GOOD work to the hands Of
their sister church to be carried
on. which has been done to this
day.
The church building became so
dilapidated In recent years that the
goodly congregation which wOr-
ships there took definite steps about
eight months ago TO put the church
in good repair. After these months
Of toll and the expenditure of
nearly $4,000, the church was re-
opened last Sunday with appropri-
ate services i'm which an immense
number Of persons took part. 1t
was the unanimous opinion of those
present that this old historic church,
fragrant with memories Of the past
and rich with energy and conse-
Grated zeal of the present, is one
of the most beautiful country
churches ON the interior to be found
anywhere in the Valley of Virginia.

windows placed there by kind and
grateful hands which are carrying
forward every good work toward
a successful contamination, while
many other things remind one of
the tender feelings and kindly in

way by friends who have ties which
bind them one way or another To
this place of worship or Him who

Good Roads and Convict Labor.

Just why the Democratic party
rs opposed to good roads is hard to
understand, and yet it seems to be
the fact Only through the Re-
publican party can good roads be
had. Good roads not only mean
better facilities for the farmer in
getting to market but large in
crease IN the value OF his property.
1t means better postal facilities.
better facilities for the school chill
dren, and innumerable other ad-
vantages. The cities are rich and
have splendid streets and of course
the Democratic Office holders who
ride about these streets care moth
ing about the country man and his
poor roads.
We can have an improvement in
our roads in two ways. First.
through Government aid and
secondly, by convict labor. The
Democrats let out the convict labor
by contract, thereby depriving the
honest laborer of work that Justly
belongs to him. The Republicans
advocate putting the convicts at
work on the roads. The question
Is not be any means a difficult one
to understand. The election of
Judge Lewis and the Republican
ticket means a step towards good
roads. Continue the Democrats in
power and continue bad roads.
That's all there Is to it.

to understand. The election of
Judge Lewis and the Republican
ticket means a step towards good
roads. Continue the Democrats in
power and continue bad roads.
That's ali there is to it.
In 1SS5 the Democratic party
promised free school books. They
have had twenty years control of
the State to redeem that promise
and the pledge is still broken.
In lSS3 the Democratic platform
declared that convict labor in COM
petition with free honest labor
should be abolished, and yet 20
years have passed and the promise
has not been kept and the State is
receiving - cents per day for con-
Wet labor, depriving honest, free
men of from Sl5O to $3.50 per
day for the same work.
In order to get the people to
vote in favor of Convention to
amend and revise the Constitution
the Democrats promised not To
disfranchise any white man. and
also promised that they would also
submit the new Constitution TO the
people for ratification or rejection.
Fully one-half of the white vote
was DISTINGUISHED and the Consti-
tuition was proclaimed instead of
submitted TO the people.
The Democrats have promised
TO eQualize taxation. and vet we
have the most unfair, unjust and
lnequitable method of taxation 10
be found in the country.
The Democrats have promised
more equitable legislative district
ing of the State, and vet the in

mains.

lSed honest elections, and yet fraud
Is rampant in every county.

showed Wonderful Nerve.

jamestown Capital: What came
nearly being fatal accident occurred
near Spirftwood Wednesday, Oct. il,
when Bverdtt Phelps, one Of the most
promising young farmers Of that vicin-
ity, nearly lost his life. AS he was
returning home about 1890 .. M. the
wagon sneckyoke broke letting the
pole drop to the ground, breaking 1t
Instantly and letting the wagon on to
the horses. As he had spirited
team OF bronchos, 1T did not take
them long to gain advantage over Mr..
Phelps, who was taken by surprise.
Their sudden start overturned the
seat. throwing him beneath the wheels
On such a way that his right leg be-
came fast between the spring and
axle dragging him directly behind
and. against the wheel After an un-
successful attempt to release himself
from Ibis unfortunate position, he
turned his attention to the wheel
which was fast knocking the life out
Of him. Catching this with his hands
ne was enabled to hold the wheel
from turning, ami held 1t while the
horses ran at q terrific rate dragging
him by one leg for a distance of near
" three miles, finally stopping near a
neighboris house, where one Of the
horses had been formerly owned. This
is generally supposed to be the reason
OF their stopping and by so doing
saved the young mans life, as 1t was
nearly two miles further to his own
home, where. the horses at first seem
ed to start for part OF this being over
avery rough road: He had just about
given up hope when the horses stop
ped. If they had attempted to go the
remainder Of the distance It is prob
able that Ids strength would have
failed him and caused him to release
his hold Of the wheel which would
have soon dashed the life out Of him.
Not more than 20 minutes elapsed be-
fore people gathered to his assistance
when he was taken to g., w. Bron-
sons house where he was made as
comfortable as possible until the ar
rival Of Dr.. Long OF Sanborn, who
made a thorough examination. He
found many severe bruises and said it

call to closing his career In Mandan

Who has been playing stringed instru-
ments around various places for a
living got into an alteration with 4
white man, stranger, who took a
shot at him. The bullet entered the
right temple, but owing to the proverb-
ial hard skull Of the negro, 1t glanced
and followed the bone, coming ont
near the LETT eye. After the bullet
made the round on the colored mans
skull it passed out. Of one OF the front
windows. knocking hole the size Of
a dollar through It. The police were
called, and when the sheriff got around
the man with the shooting iron came
back tor nils hat lost in the melee. He
was promptly taken in charge and Will
now have to face q serious charge.
After Mr.. colored man had his wounds
dressed he came back to the restaur-
ant and finished his meal No com

said that the colored man has left the
