RULES
IN Old D. DOMINION.
MINNEAPOLIS LAWYER IN LOVE
WITH vIRGINIANs.
Slopes Of Blue Ridges Inhabited by
People Whose Lives Are Chapters
from Thomas Nelson Pages Novels
Living Is Cheap and Time Of Little
Value. # Il ,. a! 75

Spending summersin one Of Thomas
Nelson Page s novels Of life in the Old
Dominion, is the best way to describe
the vacation plan followed by Henry
j. Fletcher of the university law facul- u
ty and the law firm of Fifeld, Fletcher,
baltimore & Fifieid, FOR The summer now
past Taking his family with him.
Mr.. Fletcher went h into the famous
Piedmont district of Virginia; and
camped out on the lower slopes of the,
Blue Ridge, in Albermarle county.
For one who desires to lead life
Of leisurely refinement, on small in
come said Mr.. Fletcher yesterday,
there is no section Of the United
States, which can compare with rural
Virginia, at least SO far as know.
Money is hard to get there, and equally
hard to spend, provided one. has sim
pie tastes. Comfort and enjoyment
seem to be the chief aims Of the people.
For instance, I bought load Of wood,
paying 81 for it. Two men, with a
three-horse team delivered it; spent all
morning unloading, and then chatted
with me an hour longer. Think Of any
man in this section giving a load Of
wood and the time Of three horses and
two men for half day for ST.. That
is a fair sample Of the way they do
business there, taking the pleasure of
life as they go along instead Of trying
to save it up and enjoy it all at once.
All Are Courteous.
ttCourtesy is the most distinguishing
characteristic of the people, whether
rich or poor. Elaborate and, at first,
seeming affectation, their manners are
the most sincere I have ever encount-
cred, and must add, the most pleasing.
p a no 1fIn Crc
are unknown. Even business CONVEX
sation must be and is preluded with
the proper exchange Of .courtesies.
Nothing of the negro problem is
to be seen in the region we visited.
Whites and blacks live together with
no misunderstanding as to their mutual
relations In consequence, there is
little friction. The negroes there are
fairly equal in intelligence and educa-
ton to those Of the north and are far
superior to those Of the black belt. "
I Fruit Is Profitable.
Fruit raising is the coming business
Of this. section. The farms have been
bearing crops for from $50 to 200 years
and need constant applications Of arti-
fetal fertilizer, and, as a consequence,
moderate acreages of fruit offer the
best retur1s. This permanence of land
holding is perhaps the characteristic
feature Of the district. I have had
men tell me, with no hint of boasting
that their farms were held by the fami.
| ly long before the American revolution
With northerners, as with all PEG
| pie, the residents are ready. to repay
courtesy by courtesy. Hospitable, re-
fined, simple in their tastes and genial
in their manners, they make up dis
tinct type of American, a type which
could wish to see more widely spread. >

EASTERN MAN NOTES
- MANY IMPROVEMENTS
George Briggs, Representing Eastern
Money, Finds that Minneapolis Grows
at an Astonishing Rate. 81.

George Briggs, director of the Ma
tional Life Insurance company of Mont
pelier, VT, was in Minneapolis in 1874
and he is here today. He can scarcely
realize that the little town Of 10000
East Side. has grown to the. present
busting city, with more Improvement
the last year. than, he has noticed in
any city except Chicago.
Every year since 1899 Mr.. Briggs
has made two trips. to Minneapolis. Al
together. he lives about month in Min
neapolis every year. He comes in the
interest of the company, investigating
it's realty holdings and loan securities.
The company has reduced its holdings
to. about thirteen, mostly inside prop
erty, which it is holding for firm prices.
"Like all communities, said Mr..
Briggs, Minneapolis has some places
where we get good results, and others
in. the. outlying districts where the re-
suits are not SO good, I think Mime
apolis has as good results as any place
I know Of. ~" T.. =
"The growth of Minneapolis has been
wonderful in the last four years. It
has been more marked in the last year.
There has been Improvement every
more remarkable. The Improvement
has been modern, we'll built and at
tractive, and a good deal like that of
Chicago I have been there The last
