the school for negro deaf-mutes and
blinds, left today for Richmond, where
this evening he appeared before about
half d dozen joint committees In the
.-I---A 49, r&oh1srhnnnn IF n
school in Virginia for negro deaf
mutes. Only two states in the south,
Virginia and Louisiana, have failed to
provide such a school for the colored
race. Mr.. Ray says that the schools
here for the negroes is at once the
largest and best equipped in all me
south. This is his second visit to Rich
mond for this purpose. Two years ago
he went there and spoke on the
question. Then there was a great deal
of confusion owing to politics and a
senatorial election and the treasury
was not very flushed with money, nut
now there is a net balance of several
hundred thousand dollars and ne
thinks the situation is clear. Speaking
of the schools here for the unfortunate
of both races, Principal Ray said the
attendance was 349 and that the aver
age this year will be about % grea. er
than ever before.

sented Breton in the hearing. Attor
news Pou and Fuller and Murray Al

Judge Purnell made the injunction
perpetual, Breton having failed to an
Swer the rule TO show why II
should not be granted.

junction restraining the Suffolk and
Carolina Railway from trespassing on
the right of way of the Norfolk and
Southern Railway at Roper, the suit
being brought by the trustees of the

condemn right of way through the
yard of the Norfolk and Southern. IL
