woman rushed into print with a |
fierce attack on the kindly artists. |
and hoped that no more such per-
formances should be given before
men, many of whom had been
started on the downward path by
the sights witnessed on the vaude
vile stage
The other day another woman COM
planned because children skated on
the cement sidewalks, played ball on
the streets and ran their little lemon
ade stands on the corners.
These are among the things that
incline us to WEAKNESS in the lumbar
region.
There are a lot OF people in this
world just like that-wen meaning
and philanthropic in their instincts
But their horizon is contracted We
know women who are wonderfully
interested in philanthropic work that
gives them an opportunity to pray
for and with the prisoners. but who
never stop to think that by their
purchases they are doing more every
day to foster crime than week of
prayer and Jail visiting can Offset
They'll flock to the dry goods stores
/ and compel weary women clerks to
dance attendance upon them by the
hour. and then they wind up by TAX
| ing a bargain into the seams of
which are sewn the tears and blood
and heartaches of their unfortunate
sisters doomed to unrequitted toll in
the noisome tenements and the sweat
punches of blossoms to convicted
burglars and porchclimbers, and never
think of sending a ray of sunshine
/ into the lives of their sisters stitch
gains" that are SO temptingly dis
played. We know women who never
think of extending a helping hand
to a man until after he has been
convicted of a crime, and then they
become wonderfully interested in
him. They'll never see the poor
devil who is hungry himself and
vainly looking for work with which
to earn the money to buy bread for
starving wife and children. but just
as soon as that mans condition
drives him to theft rather than see
his loved ones suffer, they proceed
at once to take a lively interest in
him. They didn't seize the oppor-
tunity to give him honest work at a
fair wage, but they never overlook
an opportunity to pray for his i'm
mortal soul and brighten his cell
with sweet smelling flowers.
That sort of thing makes us weary
Hoy about you?
A little more attention to the mat
ter of making crime unnecessary
might help some. And a little more
attention to the matter of securing
better pay and better working con
ditions for men and women might
result even more beneflcially than
gifts of flowers AMI prayers for men
and women after they have been
convicted OF crime
OF course we may be little biased
in our views. but we have never
posed as a philanthropist and maybe

OF HISTORICAL
INTEREST

One of the greatest questions now
confronting the people of West Vir-

1t will be of interest TO our readers
q TO know what one of the Virginia
bonds or CERTIFICATES look like.
Through the courtesy of Major ].
Z. Anderson, we are enabled TO re-
produce one OF these old certicfiates
which was found recently among
some old papers i'm the third story of
the residence of Mrs. Quarter i'm
Charleston. 1t is as follows:
No. 765.
Treasurery Office of Virginia,
Richmond January 26, 1861.
BE it known that there Is due from
the Commonwealth of Virginia unto
Alex t. Laidley, Secy., ETC., heirs,
executors, administrators, or assigns,
the sum of One Thousand Dollars,
bearing interest at six per centum
per annum from the first day of
January 1861 payable at the Treasur-
cry OF the Commonwealth afore said,
on the first day of January and July
of each year, being stock issued in
pursuance of an act passed on the
23rd day of March 1861 entitled An
act TO amend the charter of the
James River Kanawha Company,
the principle whereof is irredeemable
for thirty years from the irst day of
January 1861 and then to be redeem
ed.
This certic1iate is transferable on

cry, the day and year above written.

This bond was for the improvement
of the Kanahwa River, and il is of
interest there 10 note a waterway pro-
ject before the Civil WaI. A railroad
across the Allegheny Mountains and
down New River was looked upon
as an impossibility. a survey was
therefore made for waterway from
the Atlantic TO the Gulf of Mexico.
Under this survey canal was COM
pletcd TO Lexington, Va. Then it
was proposed To build the canal by a
system of locks and dams up the
James and Jackson rivers. and up
Dunlap's Creek. On this side the
waterway was TO be locked and
damned up the Kanawha, New. and
Greenbrier rivers and up Second
Creek in Monroe county.
A tunnel was TO be made through
the mountins connecting the head
waters of Second Creek and Dunlap's
Creek and thus a water way from
