FAMOUS NURSE OF
CIVIL WAR DEAD
Miss Mason Was Widely Known by
Her Heroic Deeds.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 17.-Miss
Emily Virginia Mason, of a famous
Virginia family, who won fame during
the Civil War as a nurse of Confed-
crate soldiers, and who administered
TO Union soldiers at Libby Prison,
died last night in this city, aged "a.
Stephen Thomas Mason, first COVER
nor elected in Michigan, was her
brother and her father was General
Thompson Mason, the first territorial
governor of that state. Miss Mason,
who was born in Lexington, KY, was
commissioned by President Davis, of
the Confederacy, to organize hospital
camps during the war. After the con-
fiict she wrote the first life of General

OUR LABOR PROBLEM.

AS long as the negro remains in
numerical ascendency as the farm Ia
Dor of the South there will be little
immigration of similar white labor
And the Argus, for one, is not yet
ready to supplant the former with the
latter.
A year or 80 ago the South was in
terested in attracting this way white
immigrants from Europe, and South
Carolina actually did bring in a ship
load or two. All at once, however, the
subject was dropped and public inter-
est in it died out.
There are really two forces that are
unfavorable to immigration. The
farmers do not, it is said, want any
great increase in white farmers. They
seem to think a heavy increase OF
that nature would result in too much
cotton, and they consider themselves
equal to the task of producing all the
American cotton the world needs.
The other obstacle is color preju-
dice, which exists in all Caucasian
countries. No laborer from Sweden
or any other European country pro-
poses to work alongside the negro. Nc
man from the North is willing tc
make a home among negroes. 1t is
difficult to overcome color prejudice
and the best attempts of that kind
have been in colonies and in counties
that are all white.

A LARGE APPROPRIATION
The Amount of $232,OOO,O00 For
PaS!oii:ce Was Passed by the
Senate During Stormy
Debate.

4 ash:ngton, D. c., Feb. 18.-The
rt.sCo.. : bill, carrying appropria-
tens cf over S232. 900 800, was passed
by the Senate today after very
stormy debate during which Senator
Penrose, in charge OF the measure,
made an angry assault on Senator La
Toilette, who had entered into a gen
eral criticism of Senate committees
because of what he termed their I'm
warranted delay in reporting great APP
preparation bills.
Mr. LaFollette had, at length, child
ed the Senate with permitting glut
of important legislation to be disposed
of in haste during the last days Of
Congress and had suggested that it
would be no calamity if all of these
that reorganization of committees
would allow the special session to
consider them and other important
legislation.
Penrose charged the Senator from
Wisconsin with having failed to at
tend meetings Of the committees of
which he was q member, finally de-
claring that his criticism sounded
more like the arguments made by a
vendor of patent medicine from the
tail door Of cart in the villages OF
Wisconsin than those of Senator OF
the United States.
