VIRGINIA A NEWLY DIS
COVERED COUNTRY.

Frank j. Woodson, correspondent
of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, tells
in that paper of a Mr.. Compton, of
Nebraska, who recently discovered Vir.
ginia. MIR. Compton is member of a
company doing an extensive business
in immigration and his firm buys large
tracts of land in attractive locations and
parcels these out in small farms, form
ing colonies here and there. Mr.. Comp
ton writes that he had heard of the
sentimental history of Virginia, its
past greatness and present decadence,
but had been accustomed to look on the
Old Dominion as one of the has beens T"
Happening to chance on some litera-
ture relative to the agricultural possi-
bilities of the State he concluded to
investigate the subject and was greatly
astonished thereat; for Virginia instead
Of being the barren and desolate waste
he had imagined, was full of the prom
ise of fruition to any man ready to
work. He says Virginians don't know
or realize what can be done with these
so-called worn out lands. In Mecklen-
burg for example he found lands that
cannot be beaten on earth for grasses,
grains, sheep, cattle-raising and other
profitable farming. He thinks that the
trouble with Virginians is that they do
not know just how TO develop these
lands 81 know" he writes, western
farmers who would consider a hundred
acre farm here as a dead cinch." He

he writes, and by developing the land s

or $S53.60 in cash. Think of it! Poor
old Caroline!-$850 from less than two

Mr.. Compton hopes to bring several
colonies of settlers from blizzard cursed
and tornado swept regions of the
west to settle in Virginia.

Philippines.

The election Of the Rev. Charles H.
Brent, formerly bishop In the Philip
pines as bishop Of the Diocese OF
Washington. TO succeed the late Rt. Rev.
Henry Y. Satterlee. although not secured
by large majority. was popular selec-
ton. and one which had been foretold by
many Of the delegates at the thirteenth
annual convention Of the Episcopal
Diocese Of Washington.
That Bishop Brent was the favored
candidate for the bishopric was evident
carly yesterday morning, but his eleR-
ton on the second ballot shortly before
adjournment last night came as a sur
prise to some Of the delegates who eX-
pected that at least two or three more
ballots would be necessary for choice.
The Rev. George Ftske Dudley Of St
Stephens Church. nominated Bishop
Or. c. Ernest Smith.
Votes for Brent
Bishop Brent received a out Of IS
clerical votes. and 45 out of z lay
votes. On the first ballot his vote was
% clerical and % lay. or only three
short of the required number TO elect.
DR. Carter gained strength between the
first and second ballots. polling two
additional lay votes and two additional
clergy votes
The vote Of the other candidates was
as follows: DR.. w. N. GrOsvenor, Of
New York, 2; the Rev. DR.. Alfred Hard
ing, Of Washington, 4; the Rev DR..

der Mann. Of Boston, s; the Rev. DR..
Roland Cotton smith and the Rev. DR..
Randolph McAim. OF Washington, !
each; Bishop Griswold, Of salina.
The Rev. p. NJ. RhineIander. Of
Cambridge, Mass; the Rev. Edward NJ
Jeffries. of Philadelphia, and the Rev.
Thomas J. Packard, of Rockville. re-
ceived complimentary votes Of ;. l, and
L. respectively, on the first ballot Dr.
McKim. Bishop GriswOld. and the Rev
DR. Packard were not formally nomi-
mated. but were voted for anyway.
The delegates began a demonstration
as soon as the result OF the election
was announced, but IL was promptly
checked by DR.. Mchim. presiding, who
earlier in the afternoon had been elect
ed as permanent chairman Of the con-
ventiOn.
To Cable Bishop Brent.
It was voted to notify Bishop Brent,
now in the Philippines. by cable Of his
election. in order that his acceptance
might be received today If possible.

presented the name OF Dr. Carter for
the bishopric, and paid a high tribute
