PLEASANT REUNION.
Trio of Old Typos Meet in Richmond
and Swap "reminiscences Of Other
Days-Friendships that Have Re-

Last week Messrs. Thad. r. Manning.
of the Henderson Gold Leaf James w.
Briggs of Richmond and John ". Sledge,
of. the Roanoke News, oil former printers
on this paper, had a reunion alter many
years of separation They met in the
city of Richmond last Thursday, by APP
pointment, and it was the first time the
trio had clasped hands in triple link in
quite while, in fact. not great many
times since they used to stick type on tie
old Roanoke News, then owned by Man
ming Brothers. 1t was a right joyous
meeting of the old "pi'' makers, and
whether or not they adopted the remarks
OF the Governors of the CarOlinas does
not appear in the bill OF particulars. Mr..
Briggs was untiring in his efforts to
show his old friends the sights and was
profuse in his hospitality.
We were greatly pleased with Rich
mond and its many evidences Of being
one OF the most prosperous and progress
sive Southern cities.
We are also under obligations to Mr..
W. $. Copeland, managing editor OF the
Times Dispa tch, for courtesies extended
and for his kindness in showing us over
the magnificent plant of the Times
Dispatch, where we saw the great per-
1ectlng machines, the Mergenthalers at
work and the difference between the new
and the old way of newspaper making.
The above taken from the Weldon
Roanoke News of last week. Moth
ing need be added to what has been
SO well said of this very pleasant
meeting and mingling together ofold
friends.
Back in the early seventies when
Sledge, Briggs and the writer were
boys together being initiated into the
mysteries of the printers louise,
friendships were formed, which have
remained true throughout all the
years since 1t is not often the three
OF us meet at the same time and this
made the meeting in Richmond, with
its historic environment and varied
places of interest and amusement all
the more pleasant. Friend Briggs 10
a capital host at all times sparine
nothing to give his friends a good
time and on this occasion his hOspi-
tality knew no bounds.
"When shall we three meet again."

Death of a Little Child.

Friends of Mr.. Robert H. Souther-
land sympathize with him in the
death of his infant child, son, aged
nearly one year, which occurred at
his home in the country Sunday
morning. The little one had not been
we'll for some time but appeared to
be improving when he was taken
worse. 1t was only about year
ago that Mr.. Switzerland lost his
wife by death and now the baby, to
whom he was perhaps all the more
devoted because of this, is taken.
The little body was brought to
town and tenderly laid to rest by the
side of it's mother in the cemetery
here at $3.50 Monday afternoon.

LEST We Forget

An exchange presents this truthful
thought:
1--WE pass this way but once, and
when we step into the valley OF the
shadow, all our earthly belongings
will be left behind. Not a COW. nor a
sheep. nor an acre of land, not a dol
lar of money will 60 into the grave
with Us. Why then should men race
through life in a mad fight for gold,
brushing all the better things aside,
when at last it must be unloaded at
the tomb? Would it not be better
to smile a little and do few good
deeds as we go along? Would it
not be better plan to put a flower
into the hand of some sad-hearted
human being struggling along the
road of life, than to clinch an al
mighty dollar until cold death forces
lis to relinuuish it?

Color Labor Substituted.

Colored labor has been substituted
for white girls in the sewing or finish
ing department of the Balfron Knit
ting Mills. There has been difficulty
in getting help ever since the mills
began operation. At no time has
there been more than One-third or
One-half the number of operatives
wanted to run the mill at their full
capacity. Barring the single item of
pay roll the expense cooperating with.
ii small force is just as great, and by
reason of not being able to make q
larger output of goods the enterprise
has not paid as it should.
The management have done every
thing they could to get sufficient
white help. Employment was offered
at remunerative wages, they have
advertised in newspapers and other
wise, and sent people out into the
highways to get them to come in.
And still they couldn't get them.
Rather than shut down the mills for
want of help it was decided to change
to colored labor. About forty-five
colored girls went in the first day and
some Others have come in since They
have started out very we'll and ifthey
will stick to it and learn the work it
is believed that the labor problem
will be settled as far as this enter
prise is concerned.
A knitting mill in Durham is sue
cessfully run with negro operatives
as are the silk mills in Fayetteville,
although this class of labor proved a
failure in two cotton mills in South
Carolina and Georgia.
This experiment will be watched
with interest here.

too severely fogging Luther Gray,
the fourteen-year.old son of 7. B.
Gray, last Friday. Justice Bra
shears imposed fine amounting with
the costs to So IS, which was paid by
Mr. Knott 1t is the opinion of some
persons that the boy got no more
than he deserved Many of the pu.
pills of the school have been extreme
ly unruly, and it was necessary TO
chastise them to preserve order. Mr..
Knott denies that he whipped the
BOY with undue severity, and those
who know him are certain that be
would not misrepresent the matter.
He was advised by his friends who
were conversant with the facts to ap-
peal the case, but he concluded to let
it rest.

Wintry Weather.

of Will Hill. On the I'd of February
the ground hog predicted rough
weather, and since then it has been
wintry with vengeance. Last Sun
day several inches of snow fell on top
of that already here, and was followed
by sleet and rain that froze as it FELL
making the sidewalks dangerously
slippery. A cold wave came right
afterward, and this week the weather
has been extremely frigid. Tuesday
morning the thermometer was one de,
gree below zero, and this morning II
was trihe lower. This winter has
been remarkable for its continuous
cold and snow and ice. We do moi
recall a season when the ground was
covered with snow for so long. The

A Hard Case.
Last week a middle.aged man with
smooth face registered at the Entler
Hotel in Shepherdstown as Il. G.
Zimmerman, OF Washington, D. G.
He claimed to be a repairer Of sewing
machines, and visited pretty nearly
every house in Shepherdstown, wheth-
er occupied by white or colored per-
sons. At some places he was impu-
dent and annoying, while at several
colored homes he attempted to as
sault women whom he found alone
One of the colored women swore out
warrant for his arrest, and he was
taken before Magistrate Rentch for
trial. The fellow claimed to have
meant no harm and said he could not
remember having done anything
wrong. He was let off with a fine
of SIS and costs, and took the next
train out of town. When his vile
conduct at various houses became gen.
orally known there was great lndlg-
nation among the people, and it was
regretted that he had not been more
severely punished. 1t is said that
the same man was run out of Har-
per's Ferry last week for similar con-
duct. He was in Shepherdstown sew
eral years ago and acted in much the
same manner. 1t is believed that he
is not of sound mind. Whether this
is true or not, he is dangerous man
to be at large.
