GARD FROM MIR. SHARP

EDITOR CITIZEN:-During all of m,
business career have been an employ
er of colored labor in greater or les.
numbers, and Ihave been and am now too
faithfully and worthily served by then
to have been capable of the degree OF
denunciation of them attributed te
me in the article in the Baltimore Sun
and reproduced in a recent issue of
your paper.
1t is not true that most of them here
are worthless. 1t is fact, however.
that labor conditions here respecting a
certain sort of factory work are not
as satisfactory or dependable as
they should be when the nature of the
business is considered, and it was some
what to perfect these conditions and
eliminate the risk of loss by spoilaee

THE LOVE OF MONEY.

WHEN the love of money for
moneys sake is deeply seated it
leads to strange doings. Lately
Daniel Applegate died in New
York in apparentpoverty, and in
settling up his estate an old mat
trass was so heavy that it's in
teriorwas inspected and ST., 900
in double eagles were found
slowed away in it. He had no
faith in savings banks and
changed his pay into double
eagles every month. Nobody
lived in his home with him. and
he did his own homework.
Some years ago an old and
squalid beggar woman died i'm a
hospital in New York. In her
last illness she kept under her
head a dirty bundle for a pillow.
and when informed that she was
dying, asked that this pillow be
buried with her. Curious to know
what itcontained and why she so
priced it, the nurses opened it and
found $27 900 in bank notes she
had saved, though apparently y
most poverty-stricken beggar.

here is always hope for man who
can find something to do. For after all
there is inspiration in labor. There is
something noble in work-an act per-

Better. far better. to wear out than to
rust out. than to live an inert. listness,
senseless life, and then. finally. to be

The worst start in life a boy or
girl can make is to cultivate idle
ness. Far better for a commu-
nifty, aswell as youth sfuture.
ii every girl would find something
to do-housework, sewing, office

FARMS TOO LARGE.

The editorial in the Richmond

statement that the State has LOST

TO thinking that one OF tn,
reasons for this is that the farms
MS rule are too large. The
statement is made that no less
than $4,000 farms in the State
could becutup to advantage into
smaller lots, and the results be-
greatly advantageous.

OF the advantages of this small

an Immigration of Dunkards from

There is no end to what might
