SOME BOAT NOTES.

Beane &c Dobyns, Greenvale creek,
have launched their new boat and have
taken it to White House creek to have
the engine installed.
The Dry Dock Dewey is about $500
miles at sea, nearing Gibralter, the
entrance to the Mediterranean, which
port will probably be the first stop.
Bugeye Nancy Hanks, Capt. ]. A..
Robertson, was at OVENS railway
recently putting in new mast and
overhauling ready for fishing.
Capt. II. C. Dayton expects to reach
the Rappahannocll from Baltimore next
Sunday with his new mail steamer.
''Dr. w. j. Newbil," all ready for
business.
The Government snag boat is on the
way here to build the dyke at the
mouth of Carter's creek, which is to be
wall of loose riprap stones extending
from inshore Red at Beacon to nearly
opposite the White Beacon.

curing the winter to supply the demand
for soft crab" The bill, however, will
not be enacted into a law without Wig
orous fight by the crab-fishing and crab
packing interests. The opponents Of
the bill contend that the closed season
is unnecessary, on the ground that the
crab is migratory shell fish and that
IL We don't catch them when they are
with US some one else will. Heretofore
it has been generally accepted that the
crab was not migratory.
Senator Camm Patteson. of Buckipc-
ham, offered a bill to divide the school
funds. of the State in proportion to the
amount paid by the whites and blacks.
Senator Patteson said: "'It,,is fair bill,
and it proposes to keep separate the
amounts paid by the negroes from that
paid by the whites. Since the Civil
war we have expended $l42, SEQ, coo for
the education of the negroes. That
money has been practically wasted. It
was the duty of the white people to
give for a generation the benefit of ed
ucation to the negro. What has been
accomplished in that time is known TO
all. The attempt to educate the negro
has been dismal failure. 1t has been
tried before in Africa, and the results
there were duplicated in this country.
The thirty-three years of education for
the negro expired in 1898, and we are
still pouring our money into the vain
sttempt to educate him. 1t is our duty
to educate our own children before we
undertake to educate aliens. That's the
highest duty of man. Surely the negro
can find no fault by getting what he
pays for. He gets equal rights. He
can no longer expect to put down sill
and claim a railroad. The figures of
the tax reports show that the negro
pays little less than per cent. OF
the money expended for the education
of his child. The white man pays the
other 95 per cent. The white people
are taxed to care for the negro INDECENT
and the negro insane in just the same
proportion. By following the policy
outlined in my amendment to the con-
stitution the white people will be able
to educate all their children at the
white primary and high schools at less
expense than at this time-rather than
without any increase in taxation. The
number of primary schools will be
doubled in every section, and the pay
of the teachers can be advanced at
least so per cent. All the white schools
would run at least nine months in the
year. AT the same time, the negro
schools would last from two to four
months. The State of Virginia owes
$73, 000, 600 of State debt, including the
portion due by West Virginia, for
which she is more or less responsible.
We cannot go on at the rate We are
going and pay for the education Of the
negroes of the State and pay the State
debt. We must take care of ourselves
be just before we are generous.

CUSTOMS HOUSE TALK.

Hon. VIM. A. Jones, representative
In Congress from the First District,
has again introduced a bill for the re-
moval of the Customs House from
Tappahannock to Reedville. Mr.. Jones
has made a number of attempts to
get this bill through, since repre-
senting this district in Congress,
but there seems very little probability
OF its passage. The fact is that Tappa-
hammock is more accessible than Reed
vile, and is preferred by majority of
seamen. The latter is an inland town
and is further from the mouth of the
Potomac than is Tappahannock from
the mouth of the Rsppahannock. We
are informed that Reedville has but one
mail day while Tappahannock has six.
1t would appear that the Custom Office
mere Is permanent fixture in spite of
Mr.. Jones' efforts to remove it, having
been located at this place for over one
hundred and fifty years. No, it is not
probable that our representative will
succeed in the passage of his pet bill at
this session of Congress at least. Tide
water Democrat.
The authorities have no idea of
removing the Customs House from
Tsppahannock to Reedville, and
very little thought of removing it at
all. We think Mr. Jones must be i'm
pressed with this opinion, aud proba
bly, has been for some years. When
the question was mooted before, the
department did not encourage re
moval but the sentiment seemed to,
be that il removed it should be
placed near the mouth of the Kappa
hammock, and Irvington and Urbanna
were discussed in semi-serious vein.
AT that time, if our memory Is not
at fault, the people of Urbauna very
generously gave. way and endorsed
Tor removal to Carriers Greek, recog-
nizing that the mouth of the river
was the most suitable location, and
that Carriers Greek was the nearest
harbor to that mouth.
Our Tappahannock friend errs a
little in his judgment of distances
and his information as to Rsedyille's
mails.

SENATOR MARTINS VICTORY.
(Richmond Times-Dispatcb. !


To-day Senator Thomas S. Martin
will be elected United States Senator
in Congress from Virginia for third
term. Senator Martin has had remark
able career. He was first elected by
General Assembly in 1894. He was
then but little known in Virginia, and
there was much resentment throughout
the State that he was chosen over
General Fitzhugh Lee. 1t is rarely
that any Virginian has gone into office
under more unfavorable circumstances.
But Senator Martain determined to
show the people that he was worthy of
the honor, and he went manfully to
work first to inform himself thoroughly,
then to gain the good will of his as
sociates, and finally to promote meas
ures of interest to his State. Being a
man of ability and great energy, man
of tact and good judgement, he became
one of the most active and enteprising
members of the Senate. He did not
trouble himself much about making
speeches, but his work was more elo-
quent than oratory.
Before the end of his first term he
had made himself so useful that he was
honored with reelection and continued
to be useful more and more
But for all that there Were those
who said and believed that he was not
the choice of Democrats at large, and
it was insisted that test should be
made in n primary election. The State
Convention Of 1904 committed itself to
this proposal and primary plan was
adopted. In 1905 the campaign opened
early, and Senator Martin and Cover
nor Montague, his opponent, went up
and down the State and made speeches
in all sections. Senator Martin stood
squarely upon his record and made no
apologies. He frankly told the people
that IT they were not pleased with him
as their representative in Washington,
if they thought that he had been I'M
faithful or inefficient, or had failed in
any way to discharge the duties of his
office with credit to himself and the
State, he expected them to turn him
out, but that if they approved his course
he asked that they express their APP
prevail at the ballot box.
1t was one of the most memorable
compaigns Virginia has ever known,
and nothing was done in corner. The
campaign was publicity" perfected
Senator Martin was on trial and his
official record was held up to the public
gaze: yet when the ballots were counted
it was shown that he was by a large
majority the popular choice, and Demo
Gratis then and there instructed, their
representatives in the General Assembly
to elect him for another term of six
years. In obedience to such instruc-
ton Senator Martin will to-day receive
the solid vote of the Democratic men,
bers of that body, and he will con-
tinue to look after Virginia's interest
in the United States Senate. We con-
graduate him upon his distinguished
victory.
