that awful struggle-that national
tragedy. Most OF them never
cooked a cannon" in their lives; most
Of them were born since the war or
were too young to enter the army;
shn they are constantly reminded Of
the bitter things the war developed
and what the Yankees did when
Virginia was district No. It" These
northern people do not see what
they had to do with It anyway and
naturally wonder why they are held
responsible for a war fought before
they were born. and do not see any
connection between a war fought IS
years ago and filing Virginia 5
granzries in 1911. OF course they
know how the little politicians back
north Cor vest ring in the war and
its concOmitants to get office. and
expect the little politicians 20 use it
for all it IS worth here. but it fails to
arouse enthusiasm with them here
or there and consider it rank demo
gogaery whenever usedssa stepping
stone to office.
The result: The newcomer feels
that he has been handed a gold
brick by somebody, that the old
time Virginia hospitality the agricul-
tural department and the land agent S
literature handed out to them is al
shadow and no substance. Their
wives and daughters arc the first to
become dissatisfied. They feel the
apparent or real osracism. They
find It impossible TO break through
the frigid exterior of the "old resi-
den" who psuonizes them, but
never takes them on friendly terms
They feel the line is drawn, thai
they are Prejudged and misjudged

WHY some NEWCOMERS LEAVE.
An Answer to 40 Honest Inquiry
Given ID An Honest Manner.


Editor The Gazette:
In replying to the inquiries of
Toby whom I am assured IS a
virginian. hesitate for fear will
be misunderstood. love the Viz
gfnia people. my neighbors. and am
here TO stay" I shall probably
make no reply should any letters
follow this. as shall say enough to
meet the situation and shall do il
without malice or inteEt to offend.
! am sure OUR new neighbors want
to know what the stumbling blocks
Of THEIR new neighbors are. so
that they can be lremoved If real.
Virginia has invited Us here and in
response to that broad, manly invi-
tation, we have come 20 live with
them, to make their people our peo-
pie, and their land our land. To
take nothing from them, to violate
none of their traditions. to live with
them as honest men ard women. and
70 help restore the grand old
Commonwealth to what she was be-
fore grim visaged war swept her
smiling plains. And we expect to
reap our share Of the reward tor Ia
bors well done. and ask nothing that
is unreasonable or unfair. We are
American citizens. proud Of the
achievements of our native land. and
feel equally at home in any of the
American commonwealths. none the
les so il old Virginia. But here are
the reasons some Of our newcomers
are departing. some for the more (to
them ccngenizl southern states,
others back to the north and west:
Every northern man or western
man is considered an alien. an inter
loper. If he take no more part in
local politics than to vote for the
regular nominees" he is tolerated.
Il he become active in the political
affairs Of his county or town, he IS
forgetting his place. and is a id
Yankee" He may live here, as
some have. half a century; he is still
a squatter." and should have no
voice in public affairs.
Schools. except in Toano and
Williamsburg. are abominable. The
public roads are worse. Politicians
direct both. The roads are the cats
paw of the politicians and the tax
payers money goes to reward the
faithful, not TO build roads. There
IS no relief in sight and the new
conner feels that life is too short to
await the reforms needed.
The local markets are Nil. The
Williamsburg merchants do not en-
courage the farmer by buying his
produce at a fair market price.
They viii buy western beef at &C OF
&c. pound and sell it at 1Sc., but
viii not pay the farmer as much as
he can get in Newport News OF
Richmond, forcing him to the
trouble of shipping or peddline
about town. Williamsburg (ano
probably Toano. too viii buy
western butter or oleo. while cream
cry operated by the farmers, in the
merchants own town. does not get
their patronage. The absence of 4
local market is the real factor in ere.
ating dissatisfaction with this section
of Virginia.
Northern families have beer
known to live here several year.
without receiving social CALI anc
in many cases a church CALL" from
their Virginia neighbors.

men are measured more by meri
than by the clothes they wear o.

The strike began to spread late on

handlers refused to load timber that

bers. Many others joined the strikers
on Saturday and traffic has been held

almost confined to Dublin, but since
then it has spread and HOW the South
