Mrs. Shepard was member of the

died i'm that faith.
In her last moments sine spoke of
her brother who had been dead for
many years, and spoke also to another
relative long since dead, as though
present in person, and who will doubt
that she saw them? Weeping friends
around her bed caught glimpses of
celestial glory, that shone in her face
with light, which death could not
dim. As the happy spirit passed out
INTO gloniied immortality, the scrip

evening time it shall be light"

The Scheme" Endorsed Ex-
Senator Harman'S Views.

ED. c. V. News:
/ have read your "suggestions" in
relation TO the State acquiring tract
OF land and operating it with convict
labor; also Gen. II. A. Ayers letter
along the same line, in the Times
Dispatch. After considerable study of
the proposition am quite sure that
the Legislature ought to pass bill at
once, authorizing the Corporation
Commission, OF some other agency. to
enter into negotiations for the pur
chase of coal lands, with power TO
close n contract, within the limits of n
well guarded statute
To my mind this Legislature would
immortalize itself by passing such n
law The following reasons for this
action ought to appeal to the Legis-
lature, and to every thoughtful citizen
in the Commonwealth:
First: 1t would protect our whole
people from the exorbitant prices for
coal that will be demanded by the
Coal trusts and monopolies as soon as
they acquire the whole Goals land area
of the State. which is now being rapid-
ly accomplished.
Second: 1t would save our people
from coal famines brought ON by
strikes and lock-outs, which periodi-
cally paralyze business and wreck in
dustries dependant on coal.
Third: 1t would solve the convict
problem IN the most satisfactory way.
Fourth: 1t would yield annually.
revenue of from S25O,0OO to $500, 600.
TO be applied to the schools. roads and
the public debt
Fifth: 1t would save annually ON
coal consumed by Observation-Disclosures
at least, fifty per cent
Last year the State expended about
100000 for coal. We would be safe in
saying that the State would save
S25,O 900 annually in this item alone.
Now, to my mind there are but two
possible objections to this scheme.
First: The finances of the State are
in no condition to make the necessary
expenditure to purchase a large BODY
of coal lands.
This objection can be met by salts
factory assurances that the State need
not appropriate dollar of her reven-
ues. L have in mind tract of about
1900 acres lying in Tazewell County,
which l believe the present owners
would sell to the State, accepting paw
ment therefor convict labor i'm the
mines at reasonable price per dav
which mines would be operated by the
present owners till the land was paid
for. This would require six or seven
years.
! The second objection is that the
State as such ought not engage in Goa
mining.
The answer to this is, that the State
would lease its mines to the highest
bidder, receiving not only royalty fol
every ton mined but good profit or
her convict labor as well.
A third and most powerful obiec
ton doubtless would be urged by tn,
Railroads and coal syndicates, which
might be hard for Legislature tc
overcome,
