YE EDITOR,
DEAR SIR:-It Sc, ms to me
that we had better get up an or
ganization to quell the Knockers,
in particular. the land knockers.
There are others. but one at a
time.
have been in town two or
three times lately and have heard
that there were several prospec
tive land buyers in. AT least the
real estate men have been driving
over the country with some, but
il seems that they do not make
sales, and what is the reason1
The country is all right. Land is
not high IN comparison with
The newspaper., 1907-12-13

other fruit sections, we have the
finest climate imaginable. cheap
fuel, ETC., but the buyers get con-
fused and move on and why?
If the real estate men would
bring in a spotter aud send him
to a hotel, / think he would find
from one to six knockers of the
worst type. If you were to meet
these men on the street they
would tell you that this was the
finest country on earth, but as
soon as a man comes here 10 look
the country over, instead of let
ting him alone and letting the
real estate men, who probably
have been in correspondence with
him and pay from 5000 to 500
a year, in advertising the country,
sell him something, they but
ton hole" him on the street,
at the hotel, or even just after he
has been on a drive with a real
estate man and tell him that real
estate men are blood suckers and
if he wants a bargain to let him
show him something. Then he
finds out if possible what place
the real estate man has lined him
up on and tells him that So and
Sos place is cheaper and better
and there is more of it, that the
first place has poor varieties,
poor water or that the river will
wash it away and other such
yarns. For instance, some body
or bodies told one buyer that
nothing on the south side of the
river had enough water. He evil
IDENTIFY had some land on the
other side to sell al a commission.
Another mans place decreased
from o acres to about 4 acres
while the buyer was eating dinner.
Those men left town and other
buyers are doing the same Every
time we allow enc buyer to be run
out that way. we are damaging
the country at large more or as
much as the country is benefited
by a good substantial man co =
ing in and settling.
We all know that every place
the real estate man sells for what
it is worth is benefit. Now as we
are coming up against the largest
crop in our history we need more
people and ! believe that if we
would take a few street and hotel
Knockers out and hang them we

VIRGINIA MAYOR
WOULD KEEP TROOPS

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 17.-Mayur I.
r. Dowdy, OF Onancock, today sent u
telegram 10 Governor Swanson request
Ing that troops be kept in that city for
some time. The mayor said that this
was the desire Of himself and Of the
town council, which met last night.
The telegram did not indicate that
there was any trouble impending, but
the fact is that a search is being made
for the men who are responsible for the
riot. and II they are captured the pres
ence Of the military will be necessary
in order to protect them from summary
punishment at the hands of the whites
OF the peninsula and those from Mary
land who went to OnaCock to the relief
Of the whites at the time of the recent
riOting.
Governor Swanson and AdJutant Gen
eral Anderson were in consultation this
morning over the situation, but they
did not make known what conclusion
had been reached, further than to say
that the soldiers have been placed under
the control Of the local authorities.
