THE WOMAN ON THE FAr,M.

Among the important matters which
will be discussed at the meeting of
the Virginia State Farmers Institute
in Petersburg next week will be "the
work and place of the woman on the
farm, and how her position can be
improved and the home life of the
farm be made more satisfying and en-
joyable''
Certainly, the women of the farms
are as much interested in all that per-
tains to making farm life more salts
factory and profitable as are the farm
ers themselves. 1t seems but right
that they should have voice in the
work of the Institute. In good
many cases farmers wives are better
| farmers than their husbands and
know a good deal more about how to
run things. There are great many
women on farms who can take up the
work of the farm and direct 1t ana
manage it successfully If the man of
the family is sick or dies.
Somehow, though, we should not be
surprised If many of the women on
the farms find life burdensome at
times and monotonous. They havo
very little time for social life; they
see little of their neighbors, except
on Sunday, and this seems hard when
the fact is taken into account that a
large proportion OF them are we'll ed
ucated and possessed OF fine tastes
and ambitions. Anything that can be
done to make their lives on the farm
more pleasant and more satisfactory
is a move in the right direction.
Because the cities seem to contain
SO many of the pleasanter things Of
IRE, many girls come from the farms
to them. If life in the country were
made lighter and brighter, perhaps
the influx of these girls into the cities
would be checked, and that would be
We'll; not because they are not well
come In the larger places, but because.
after all, life in the country is so
much more wholesome for them.
They tell US that the farmer is SOM
ing into his own; that he is to be the
dominating economic factor within
this generation. If that be true, then
due honor will surely come to the wo-
man who has been his right-hand man
through all of 1t, through bad crops
and good, whose patience has buoyed
him up through all his long years Of
labor The woman on the farm de-
serves every comfort. every convenl-
ence. every social and educational ia
cility. that can be given to her.

The Bedford Democrat speaks plainly
to the man who Knocks" his own
town:
1--WE do not believe that Bedford City
is any worse than other towns Of its
size If any one believes differently
there are six main roads leading out OF
the town, besides railroad where
trains run four or five times day,
and he who is not pleased with the
town can easily make his exit from it.
and no doubt we shall manage some
how to get along without his presence"
These directions ought to be obeyed
in all places where kickers and croak-
ers abound.

According to the New York Sun
General George w Gordon has found
but languid response to his appea

to the negro slaves, who, during the
War Between. -he States, stayed a

plantations. simultaneously" we arc
told, "the free and Independent white

innocent and helpless negroes within

temptible for serious considerations
1t must not be inferred however, from
this opposition that the brutal massa-

answer OF the South to General Cor
dons appeal The two things have 40

ated in any mind.
1t may be, as the Sun says, that the
Gordon appeal would have touched
every Southern heart" thirty or forty
years ago, and it must be admitted
that the friendly relations between the
negroes and the white people in the
South are not as they were three or
four decades ago: but the white people
of the South are not to blame for
whatever changes lave been made. If
the Sun will read pixies PROSTATE
State" over again 1t will understand
white South largely of responsibility
for the present conditions. The massa-
ere in Texas no more represents the
feeling OF the South towards the ne
New York represents the attitude OF
the people of that town towards this
manifestation of human degeneracy.
The Sun probably does not know it:

ences saw it on their famous visit to
the South Carolina Capital few years
ago. If they had seen it, they could
not have understood it. Only those Of
us who have been drought UP with

whether the monument for which Cen
eral Gordon has asked subscriptions
shall be built this year or next. we
have no fear that it Will be built in

better angels of the past will yet move
the white people of the South to re-

FIND THE MAN.

Our dear old friend, Colonel William
r.. Nelson, VITO has made the Kansas
| City Star one of the most flourishing
and influential newspapers in the Mid :
die West, paid Mr.. Taft a visit at
Beverly on Thursday. So far as is
known, 1t was purely friendly Visit,
although we believe that Colonel Nell
son has been nursing some sort OF
crouch against the President for a
long time. He is great Roosevelt
man, thinks he could sweep the coun-
try If he would run for President
again; but don't think he Will run
unless he has to- THAT is really al
most as funny as anything the Con-
tributing Editor himself ever said.
I,Colonel Nelson told the boys wno were
laying for him that his heart was
not broken by the result of the cleo
ton in Kansas, that he thought he
could bear up under the Iowa slump,
and that the next House will be either
Democratic or Insurgent. The only
thing Colonel Nelson is reported to
have said that really had insides was
this:
Many Republicans seem to think
that the Republican party Is made up
of majority of the voters of this
country In that they are wrong; the
Democrats have never put up candi-
date for President who ought to have
won. that did not win. Take Cleveland
and rTil1pn aya,pDle
We think Colonel Nelson is right
in this, however wrong he may
be and is in his idolatry of the real
Colonel. 1t does not make the least
difference to Colonel Nelson whether
the Democrats shall take the hint or
not; he is not an office seeker or an
office holder, does not want to be
either, knows that at would take
more than two quarts of wine to
| make prince out of Stahlman. land is
as independent as u wood sawyer; but
| he has announced great fact--the
majority of the voters of this country
are not Republicans; The Democrats
have never put up a candidate for
President who ought TO have won, that
did not win We think that this
statement is capable of amendment;
but it is generally true. What the
Democrats ought to do now is TO find
the man. The people will do the rest.

THIS is THE TIME TO BUILD ROADS.

THIS IS THE. TIME TO BUILD ROADS.
| In 1906 the Virginia State Highway
| Commission was created by act of the
| General Assembly. This was done in
| response to a very general demand for
of the State, which were in an alto
gether disgraceful condition. The
Commission had great work TO do,
and under the direction of the Com
missioner, the Hon. r. st. Julien Will
son. 1t has already justified Its esta.b-
lfshment by the work it has done and
by the practicable plans which it has
provided for further activity Since it
began work there have been built in
the State 100 miles of macadam road,
1S5 miles of sand and clay road. or a
total mileage of ass miles. In
1907 fourteen miles of macadam road
We're built, in 1908 thirty-one miles,
and in 1909 sixty-seven miles. From
the first of October, 1909, to the first OF
July of the present year, seventy-fve
miles of macadam roads We're built, and
by the first of October it is expected
that at least 100 miles will have been
built for the period Of twelve months
miles of gravel roads were built, and
in 1903 thirty-one miles. In 1907 six
miles of sand and clay roads We're
built, in 1908 none, and in 1909 forty
miles, and up to the first of July, 1919,
sixty miles. The average cost of the
macadam roads has been $4,000 the mile,
the cost OF the gravel roads from
$1,000 to $500 the mile, and the cost
of the sand and clay roads from $500 to
$1,000, or an average of about $3.50 the
ing largely upon the width of the road
way. The sand and clay road has es-
tablished its claim to the public conf
dence. and has been found in other
States to possess advantages, not only
on account of its cheaper cost, but on
account as We'll Of the traffic it Will sus-
tain. We have heard automobiles say
that 1t was q, better road, In fact. than
the macadam, the adhesive power of
the cement gravel or sand used in It's |
holding the roadbed to-
gether against the powerful suction OF
the rubber wheels of the motor car
The cost OF sand and clay roads of the
best construction does not amount to
more than about one-ffth of the cost
of macadam.
The people OF Virginia are safely
committed TO the policy of good roads.
Since the creation of the Highway
Commission thirteen counties have is |
