How could the convolvulus tendrils

VIRGINIA ALWAYS GREAT STATE.
Her History interviewer with That Of
the Country.

BY the census Of 1880 Virginia con-
tanned population approximating
10000, or more than one-fifth of all
the people then in the United States,
about one-third Of this number being
negroes, of whom 1900 were free.
Comparing the returns With the pres
ent population of the commonwealth
(2,lOO,OOO), the hasty conclusion is
drawn that the increase has been ex-
ceptionally slow; but this view loses
sight OF the fact that in 1890 the fig
ures embraced all the persons living
In the territory now covered by West
virginia and Kentucky; and it should
be taken into account that the Old
Dominion contributed largely to the
settlement Of Illinois and Missouri,
and Alabama, Tennessee and Florida
as well. Even among the pioneers Of
Iowa, California and Minnesota many
names can be found whose bearers
were first AmericaniZed in the settle
ments on the banks Of the James and
Potomac rivers. Had Virginia retained
her original geographical proportions
she would rank easily as first in the
family OF states. Generously prolific
OF offshoots from the parent stem,
there still remains a goodly crop, of
sons and daughters under the ancient
roof tree, amid the diminished acres
OF her original domain. In 1860 large
ly more than one-half of the senators
and representatives in congress were
OF Virginia birth, or were the sons or
grandsons of men to her manor born.
