The Norfolk Ledger Dispatch says: In ad-

Virginia there are 100000 colored women over
the age OF twenty lone years and with their
votes possibly would control about thirty coun-
ties in this State. Some folks who talk much Of
woman's suffrage do not think enough about its
real operation in Virginia" Doubtless many
people in the Old Dominion are doing some bar

Crossing the bar and sailing up to
an anchorage unassisted by tug
boat, a schooner, reported to have
been the Edith S. Cummins, was
watched by many as she came up the
bay late yesterday afternoon. Just
why there was no tug to meet the
vessel was not learned. All local
steamers were busy, at least those
which were here, and in commission,
and after maneuvering in the gulf
from early morning until late in the
afternoon, it was decided by the skip
per to turn over his vessel to pilot
and let one of those careful men see
to it that the schooner came in safe
ly. There was no trouble, not in the
least and the vessel dropped anchor
