AN OPEN letter in fredericksburg
paper calls upon their representative
in the Legislature to have repealed
the law taxing incames-in excess of
$500. While we do not think the
law should be repealed-but, on the
other hand, rigidly enforced-the
writer argues that it is practically a
dead letter, working hardship upon
few honest enough to return an in
come for assessment while greater
naGber evade it. A year or so ago
we reproduced the published statistics
as to what tax was returned on In
comes from counties in this section.
1t should have been astounding, but
the people look lightly on these
things and soon forget them. Some
of our counties, it would appear from
the assessments, did not have citi-
zen whose income exceeded $500 a
year, while another returned the pitt
full sum of 81.

WHAT'S THE MATTER, BARHAM?

Representative Nicholas Longworth
says he is "a lucky man and knows it. :"
He Is not more SO, however, than any
other man who secures and reciprocates

Call no man happy until he is dead!
Marriage is lottery which the Post
office Department does not forbid, and
every package contains a prize; but
only time itself can reveal whether it
is one of happiness or misery. Let us
wish all the lottery-players the luck of
a happy issue, but wishes no more
bring that guerdon to them than they
bring horses to beggars. Marriages are
made in heaven, says the proverb, and
yet there are some people who are
willing to swear by their experience
that they are often made in hell. But
they are made, and it is necessary that
they should be made, and no matter
where they are made let us make the
best of them. Petersburg Index-Ap-

JUG OF APPLEJACK.

Nick Longworth Poem Along with
Dutch Courage

Representative Jones received from
Thomas Ben Hurst, a Confederate soldier
living in Northumberland county, by ex-
press, half-gallon jug of what seemed
to be pure moonshine liquor. He also
received by mail letter from Mr.. Hurst
requesting him to present the jug of APP
plejack to Mr.. Nicholas Longworth just
before his marriage to Miss Roosevelt
In the letter were the following lines
penned by Jno. A. Palmer, ST.:
Nowhere the apples grow so fine
As in Virginia.
Nowhere SO ruby red the wine
As in Virginia.
Nowhere men drawer stand in line
Nor purer women-more divine
Than in Virginia.
So if in life your hopes grow slack.
Just take nip of applejack,
And tell the boys to take you back
To old Virginia"
Mr.. Jones says he has tasted Mr..
Hurst's applejack many time and can
guarantee that it is the original stuff. =
Washington Corr. News Leader.
Mr.. Longworth expressed his appre-
citation of the gift, and said he would be
sure to see that Miss Roosevelt got it.

MISUNDERSTANDING

The legislature will adjourn two
weeks from tomorrow. 1t is not
probable there viii be an extra session
or extension Of the session.
The joint houses passed a resolution
cutting off the introduction of bills after
February 25.
Senator Martin addressed the joint
session of the General Assembly one day
last week and returned thanks for his
reelection.
The Cardwell bill abolishing the
Board of Fisheries and creating Com

SOME BOAT NOTES.

The dry dock Dewey is safe, off the
Canary Isles, but making slow time.
Hughes Bros, of Waterview, had
their new boat on Rilee Bros. railway
last week having an engine installed.
j. c. Brewington did the wood work.
The large barge, which has boen dis
charging several hundred tons of rock
for the rip-rap at the mouth of Carriers
creek, finished unloading Monday and
left Tuesday for Washington for another
load. She is expected back next Mon
day. 1t takes the Washington people
two days to load her and it takes twenty
men at this end two weeks to undo their
work.
The eDr. w. j. Newb;ll," the beau
tifal and commodious steamer owned
by Capt. H. C. Dayton, which was
launched in Urbanna during last Octo-
Der and taken to Baltimore for compile
ton, made her first trip on the mail
route from Irvington to Urbanna last
week. There are many finishing
touches to be made on the 'Newbill"
yet, and carpenters are at work on her
every day as she plies back and for
ward across the river. The "Owen
billiard" is being thoroughly over,
hauled, and during the summer season
she will be put back on the mail route,
while the ''Newbill'' will be used ,ex-
clusiveiy for excursions. On Sunday
last the ''Newbill'' made an excursion
to Tappahannock. and today she will
carry an excursion to Norfolk.
On Sunday, January, z, at the time
when the good Christian people of New
York City were attending divine SER
vice IA perfectly clear, bright day), five
United States battleships set sail from
New York for Hampton Roads, and in
getting-out of the harbor two of them
were run on mud bank, and two of
them were quite severely injured by
collision, one being compelled to put
back for examination and probably re-
pairs. We suspect there was no more
necessity for these five battleships to
sail on the Lords Day tha1nthere was
for the captain of the Maine (now an
admiraD to take his officers to Sun
day bull-fght at Havana, where he
was warned that his ship was in great
danger, and on the night of the same

THE FARM LABOR PROBLEM.

81 have seen snowy hands tearing
the corn shucks this fall, and l have
seen some once snowy stained by
potatoes and other rough work, not
because their parents or their husbands
were not willing and ready to pay for
labor, but because it was impossible to
procure the labor. If the colored labor
viii not work here, then we can get
white labor, and with the railroad, this
wig be no difficult matter"
So read an item from correspou-
dent of the Free Lance, and the
picture Is not overdrawn. We are 10
c-ying need of better schools. of better
roads, and what not but there is no
item just now of such burning mag
nitpde as is the labor question. On
all sides rises the cry of scarcity of
labor-factory girls, house help, farm
labor, all branches feeling the distress
more and more every year. The
farmer in many sections no longer
looks for help to pull fodder. If he
is not able to use q corn harvester
and shredder he must raise less corn.
and cut down that he does raise. The
same In respect to hay; those that
are able find the baler of great value
and u labor saver. We have long
wondered why people of Underwater
Virginia persist in pulling their fod-
der. Other sections have abandoned
the custom aud it has largely become
obsolete. Farmer boys grow iuto
manhood and die at a ripe age who
never saw blade of fodder "pulled."
The hay baler aud corn shredder are
just now our only practical answer
to the farm labor problem.
The struggle that the South has
undergone since the war is one of the
most heroic in the worlds annals
Says prominent writer
Soon after the close of the war labor
was plentiful, but the colored people
gradually began to go to the towns and
cities, and. in the last ten or twelve
years, finding that they could get much
higher wages in the northern states and
cities, they left in large numbers. The
farmers, in those (Tidewater) counties,
had been barely able to get along-in
fact many of them had been growing
poorer and poorer-and when they found
that their labor was leaving they We're
almost desperate and could not see how
they could possibly get on. But after a
time they took courage and determined
to go to work themselves and with the
aid of their sons they did bravely go to
working their own farms. In this
resolve they were assisted by their brave
wives and daughters, who took upon
themselves the burden of the household
duties. The good results have been
made apparent and farmers who, when
they had to hire all their labor, were
barely able to get along, are now pros
perlng in a manner which they had
never before even hoped for"
This was all true, but it has
changed, the tide is turning. Those
sturdy men who passed through vicis-
sitndes are for the better part fast
passing away. Along with the negro
help have gone our boys. Dis
couraged by the experience of toiling
fathers they have looked for easier
and more remunerstive jobs, and the
condition cited by the Free Lance
writer is the one now prevailing here.

FOR STEALING WHEAT.
Three Boys Arrested on Charge of
Tapping Cars.

Three boys, Roy Dutton, Andrew Kel-
" and James ingalls, were arrested Sat
urday on a warrant sworn out by Spec
ial Agent Tim Donovan of the Santa
F'e, charging them with breaking car
seals and stealing from cars. For some
time past the cars of wheat which have
stood on the sidetrack at Topeka for
any length of time have been found to
be short from a few pounds to a num-
Der Of bushels Of grain. This could not
be explained for some time until it was
discovered that the thieves had been in
the habit of boring through the bottoms
of the cars and helping themselves to
the grain and afterwards plugging the
holes so that detection was next to i'm
possible.
The process used by the thieves while
not entirely new was novel and judging
from the shortage in the cars of grain
must have been reuunerative.
Two of the boys, Andrew Kelly and
James ingalls, are not yet Is years of
age and were turned over to the juv-
emile court officials While the older boy,
Roy Dutton will be tried in the city
court Monday. James ingalls,, who is
the smallest of the trio was a former
inmate of the reform school but was
discharged about four years ago.
