Might Have Had Negro Cover.
nor of Virginia

Some Of the cid timers in politics
have put on their thinking caps,
and the more they scratch their
heads the more dark deeds they
recall in connection with the
career of the Republicans in this
State thirty years or more ago,
says the Richmond Journal.
| Attorney General Anderson,
Judge Keith, Major Hunter and
some of the other Capitol officials
fell to "reminiscing" this morn
ing, and in the course of their con-
versation, one of the number
Major Anderson-ventured the
assertion that the Republicans had
once run negro for Lieutenant
Governor in Virginia. The others
said, may, nay; it can't be so,
for we don't remember a thing
about it." But it was 80, as At
torney General Anderson soon
convinced his hearers, for by a
little investigating, he discovered
that In the year 1869, when the
"enemy" put Henry Happy Wells
up for Governor, he was given a
dusky yokemate now recalled as
CDR" Harris.
The opposition ticket-that put
up by the Conservatives-was as
follows: Gilbert C. Walker, Gov
ernor; John F. Lewis, Lieutenant
Governor, and Joseph C. Taylor,
Attorney General.
This Mr.. Lewis, by the way,
was a brother of Judge L. L.
Lewis, the present Republican
nominee for Governor.
The Conservative ticket won,
but it came in by a narrow
margin, and here in Richmond the
vote was very close. The Con-
servatives had majority of only
a.. The negro Harris did not
run far behind his ticket-in fact,
be came within a hundred or so
Of carrying the city.
Strange to say, the victory CT I
The Conservatives was due par |
tally to the negroes Of this city, c
many of whom declared that
hey didn't want q colored man t
POSING them in a high official c
capacity. I
1t was thought at the time of t
he election that Henry Happy il
Wells, in case be YVES elected Gov I
rnor, intended resigning before Z
he expiration of his term Of office ii
md running for the United States d
senate. Had all of his plans been u

the school has opened for a new year.
The encouragements Of the past three
years demand the continued interest
Of the community In this undertaking

II the character OF the young people
of that section is to be permanently
nodded as we desire, this work must

must hold the ropes. This means
financial support of course, bat equally
important is the word of cheer, the

the constant carrying Of the work and

Profitable Cattle Industry In
Virginia

IKluid
Prof. Andrew NJ Soule, dean ant
director of the Virginia Experiment
Station at Blacksburg, writes as FOL
lows OF the cattle situation In Virgin
la:
The Importance OF the live stock in
dustry In Virginia will be appreciated
when it is recognized that tine average
value Of an animal In this State Ii
$l704; In Kentucky, s16.64; In Tennes.
see, S11.43; in Alabama, $7.70 With the
large and increasing herds Of pure
bred animals maintained on Virginia
farms there is no reason why this
State should not take and maintain
the lead In the production Of pure
bred animals to supply the farms and
ranches lying to the south OF us, where
the condition of the live stock bust
ness is very unsatisfactory. The ex-
port cattle business Is also worthy OF
exploitation. An export type Of calf
In Virginia is worth $500; the year
ling, $40. 90; the two year old, $4,000,
and the export steer, $1,000 to $4,000.
In North Carolina the corresponding
types are worth 1886, $3.50, e12.41
and S1S.64. See what an. advantage
Virginia has, did we recognize this
as clearly as we should. Are we max.
ing the most Of our natural advantages
for the development Of our live stock
industries2
Live stock industry conserves ferti-
lily. The rich lands OF Tazewell, Rus
sell and other counties are we'll known.
In 1899 Tazewell spent $40, 10000 for
Plttsylvanla $1S9, $780, 90,
and Norfolk $S98, $4,000. Live stock
farming certainly does conserve ferti
ity, and at the same time enables
wonderful economy in the matter of |
abor. two very important and essential |
points for the consideration Of our
armers. This is not hard to under
tand, for a thousand pounds OF pork
emoves from the land 1856 pounde OF
nitrogen, 6.54 pounds Of phosphoric
old and 1873 pounds Of potash. p
thousand pounds of cotton seed meal
emoves 62.9 pounds OF nitrogen, 1913
POUNDS phosphoric acid and 81 pounds
f potash. Furthermore, there is a
roht In the production of beef animals
hat is enticlng to say the least. Ac-
ording to careful statistics obtained
rom many Of the leading stockmen in
he State, the profit per head on calves
] from 1915 to $3.50; on yearlings,
500; and on export steers, $1,000 to
1900. These figures were made up
/ the most painstaking manner. They
0 not take into consideration the
manure which is one of the most valu-
BILE adjuncts of live stock farming.
There are many stockmen who
aim that they make fully III per
ent on their investment, and even If
ley only make 8 per cent, the fact
nat they can improve their lands by
lying them down to grass and manage
leir farms with minimum expendi-
ire for labor makes their life almost
n ideal one. While the live stock
lterests OF the State have made won
erful progress in the last few years
nd while Virginia ls recognized az
ne OF the leading beef producing
tates in the South, there are large

The Salem Times-Register and
Sentinel, published at Salem, Va,
appeared last week as an industri-
al edition of sixteen pages, double
its usual size. The many advan-
tages of Salem as a business and
residential town are set forth IN
attractive form. The town is
fortunate in its possession of such
an enterprising paper; and Messrs.
Deunit & McClung deserve the
thanks of an apprsciative constit-
ancy.
