Some people do by spending their time and

Other people place their savings in home

their luck that it will not burn. DO YOU?
Still others invest thousands in factories,
mills, warehouses and other things subject to

VIRGINIA GAINS II PER CENT.

According to the statistics of the new
census the population of Virginia is 2.
O6l,612. This is an increase of 2O7. 42s.
or ll.2per cent over the 1, s54, ls4 in 1900,
or about the same percentage, as in
the previous ten years. States are not
showing nearly so large a percentage
OF increase as are cities, because of the
hooking of people to the centres of
population. The showing made by
Virginia is regarded as satisfactory.
Should the State become entitled to
an additional representative in Cong ress
or not, it will be necessary for the next
Legislature to redistrict the State be-
cause of inequalities of population
found in the respective districts.
The rather humiliating fact is shown
by the new figures that thirty-two of
the 100 counties in Virginia have suf-
Tered decrease in population during
the past year. In few cases this has
been caused by annexation, for cities in
this State are not parts of counties

have one when there are no special ia

means. A party without a platform
is like ship without rudder.

suffered much from influences that have
represented those things which were

REDEMPTION OF POCOMoKE

Capt. Ben Johnson, a big mer-
chant of Masongo, in the heart
OF Accomac's oyster industry
was visitor here last Saturday
and Sunday. La the course OF
conversation with him we found
him enthusiastic on the oyster
outlook for his section. Five
years ago his sound (Pocomoke1

having been denuded, even as
Tangier Sound in Maryland, by
constant depreciation and official
inattention. In consequence, Vir-
ginians in Pocomoke Sound (and
it is almost wholly within Vir-
ginia) had TO go elsewhere for a
living in the oyster business. 1t
Is not too long ago to be recalled
by nearly all on the James river
that the oystermen of Saxis and
other localities in Accomac went
IN fleets to the James beds for
their winters work This was n
hardship on the migrants and a
double hardship on the residents
along the James. Within the
lew years past this has ceased
entirely; the people of Saxis,
Aasongo and thereabouts are
staying home. and making more
money off the oyster rocks than
they everdid there before, or in the
James. The people of the James
are now free of this class OF our
citizens. Only from the York do
they still migrate to the James
because the York has been for
years in the depleted class along
with Pocomoke Sound. While
improving by good policing, the
York needs legislation, which
politics and misrepresentation OF
officials' pun poses will not permit:
SO that river is still not what ii
ought TO be or could be made.
The same holds good as to Mob
jack bay, a valuable territory
that is almost barren of oysters.

wealth, but is kept down because
OF misunderstood purposes.

this season three men longing.
with two Gull boys, have been
catching $50 bushels of oysters
any good day from the rocks in
Pocomoke Sound. These oysters
are of the first quality, and have
been selling from forty to sixty
cents a bushel. In other parts
OF the Sound the average for two
men and a boy has been sales of
500 per week.
Fortunately, along the water
course there, labor other than for
the oyster business is not required
TO any great extent. Otherwise
there would be suffering of indus-
tries, for no one will hire out for
shore work when they can make
such independent money as this.
The James has felt the good of
withdrawing this annual drain
OF workers from her beds: POGO
moke and the James are now
breaking their records as to catch
and remuneration to citizens
and indirectly TO the State-and
