of the Sunday school work through
out our county. Fhe work is great
work, growing larger and larger from
year to year through the blessing o.
God. There is much yet to be done; tbs
work is only in It's infancy.
1t is true we have host OF boys and
girls, the hope Of the. future church, in

that there are many young men and
maidens, boys and girls and little
children, who ara not enrolled in any

WHITE LABORERs NEEDED

Heretofore two factors have
initiated against desirable i'm
migration into the Southern
States. They are the popular i'm
precision that in many places the
country is unhealthy, and also that
1t IL overrun with cheap colored
labor, with which intelligent white
industry did not desire to COM
plste." Thus asserted Former
Secretary of the Navy Hilary A.
Herbert, chairman of the reception
committee of the Southern In
dussrial Parliament, which 10 to be
held in Washington, D. c., May
2Srd.
Mr.. Herbert further expressed
tho belief that II the Governors Of
the Southern States, accompanied
by intelligent delegations COM
petent TO speak of the sanitary
conditions, agricultural and miner
al resources and manufacturing
opportunities, would assemble in
Washington and pronounce au'
thoritstively upon these subjects,
their States would be benefited.
1t is everywhere recognized that
cOlored labor cannot be depended
on for agricultural or mahufactuf.
ingl enterprises, and the same is
true OF a certain class of white
labor. Negroes growing up in the
towns, who have secured smat-
tsripg of education, seriously OBJ
ject to continued work of any sort.
The y prefer to work at odd jobs,
wit large pay. There are, how.
ever, many notable exceptions.
Virginia and other Southern
States are on the eve of great pros.
perty. Inquiries are constantly be-
ing received from residents of the
West and North concerning the
price OF lands, etc., and the tide
of immigration is steadily setting
Southwark. Desirable settlers are
to be encouraged.

To Stamp Out Tuberculosis In
Virginia

nr. William S. Thayer, an
Isxpert from Johns Hopkins Uni
versity of Baltimore, was recently
in Richmond for the purpose of
creating an interest in the study
of tuberculosis. DR.. Thayer has
made tuberculosis q special study,
and ranks among the fist Ameri-
can authorities on this diease.
While In Richmond he committed
himself to the statement that if
a case of tuberculosis is taken In
hand in its earliest stages there
is no reason why there should not
be perfect and permanent cure,
but he added that the great work
of medical science and of public
sanitation should be to prevent
the spread of the disease. In fine
he said that tuberculosis was a
durable disease if taken in time
and as surely a preventable diseass
az smallpox is.
In commenting on the subject
the Times-Dispatch says that all
medical experts are agreed on that
point and for us to allow thu white
plague to 60 stalking through the
community without doing any,
thing to preveLt it is as reckless
and as criminal as though we.
should allow the city to be scourg-
ed with smallpox epidemic for
failure to employ vaccination as
q preventive. We must extend
our territory and relieve the con-
gsstion in the city which makes
conditions,favorabls to the.develop-
ment and spread of tuberculosis
and we should adopt all measures
which medical science prescribes
to drive the plague outand keep 1t
out.

Fire vt Harrisonburg Saturday

Fire ut Harris0nburg Saturday
Harrisonburg was visited Satur-
day by a fire, which for nearly
an hour threatened to destroy the
entire business section of the
town. The loss 10 estimated at
$25, 900, with SIS, 900 insurance.
The fire originated in the ware
house Of the F. L. Sublett Hay
Company, three-story frame
building, extending the length OF
an entire block. About 800 or 900
pounds Of matches were being
taken up on the elevator, when
it broke and fell TO the bottom
floor. The matches ignited, the
Fbnilding caught fire and about
$50 tons of hay stored In that part
of it added to the fury of the
flames.
The fire companies quickly re,
sponded, but before their arrival
the front part of the building ws'
ablaze. The fire quickly spread
to the Catholic church and to
two nearby dwellings. The wind
was blowing, and Dayton and
Staunton were telephoned to for
help.
The Dayton Hose Company ar
rived in time to assist in subduing
the flames, but they were gotten
under control before the Staunton
fire department could get ready to
start.
Three box cars standing on the
siding were destroyed. One was
loaded with goods of the J. M.
Smell Grocery Company. which
was just moving into this ware
house.
