One Thousand-Acre Men
BY ALFRED J. MORRISON.

The belief Is pretty general that in
Virginia and throughout the South
there was a great falling off in large
plantations after the war. We hear
il said often that there was much
cutting up of large plantations dur
ing the Reconstruction period, and we
rather infer that the number of large
plantations today Is much below the
number. say. about 1850. A slight
analysis of recent census reports
shows that there is nothing In any
such belief. That there. are in vir-
ginia today great many more men
who own a thousand acres than there
were in 1850. This Is only another
proof OF how stupid the assertion is
that the old yirginians were pam
pered set OF aristocfats. AS Cover
