Editor of The virginian:
sr,--I have Just read in your issue
OF this date the letter of Mr.. II. Fl.
Seay / sincerely wish every paper
in Virginia would publish Mr.. Seay's
letter. and in such type and form and
SO often the lawmakers and execu-
tors of the laws would take some no
tice.
The people of our section at least
seem to be grooming beneath their tax
burden, and yet the auditor of Vir-
ginia seems constantly on the alert to
discover other items of tax, and for
what? To make all bear their just
burden OF the government, economi-
caliy administered? BY no means. II
we may Judge from experience. but to
pile up money to be squandered just
as soon as the Legislature can con-
vene.
What paper in Virginia will dare
print the cost of the administrations
per annum of the State from j. Hoge
Tyler to the present? Our represen-
tative elect is pledged to vote against
every measure to increase offices and
officeholders with which we are SC
overburdened?
I know of poor widow. without a
home except provided by friends. Her
holdings DO not yfeld qulte WV u
year and yet the tax gatherer calls
for s27 out OF her income In the
name OF all that is good. is there no
relief from such shame on Virginia
and her people
Publish Mr.. Seay's article again and
get other papers to do so. The peo-
pie will know and speak sometime
be sure of that.
Very respectfully,

liz Good Fruit Region.

Kinston. N. c., Aug. 22.-Govern-
ment agricultural experts in this sec
ton recently are said to be enthusiasts
tic over the prospects for the develop
ment of a great fruit region. Some
of the peaches produced on local
plantations this season were superior
to the Delawar and Georgia fruit.
the agricultural department men are
said to have stated. More trees have
been planted in the past two years
than ever before. Plums and pears
are proving profitable and many more
cherries are being seen than in for
mer seasons. Much of the fruit crop.
however, was never gathered. Great
quantities ripened in the tobacco belt
at curing time. when the farmers had
no time to give to it while they were
engaged in preserving the weed. In
six to seven years from now this Will
be the greatest pecan producing sec
ton east OF Texas, with more than q
hundred thousand trees at the most
conservative estimate bearing. The
local product Is superior TO the Texas
pecan. being of ceedingly thin shell,
larger and better formed.

ing knocks and apparent prejudice
against the valiant German fighters,
the more sympathy / have for Ger
many. Whatever you say, they are
men. and fight and achieve results
without so much braggadocio and
buster. The News Leader begrudges
giving them praise.
Germany wasn't altogether to blame
for the war: all have some blame.
Perhaps IL Russia had stopped her
mobilization when Germany asked her
the war had been averted. Despite
England's blockade. Germany Ia get
ting some cotton. I'm glad of It, The
News Leader is not. The cotton peo-
Pile of the South are bitter against
England because of her order in coun-
ell and general attitude toward cot
ton.
The News Leader is now afraid Ger
many is getting too much sympathy
from the South, and what is more
to the point for Germany, may soon
get more cotton, depends upon devel-
opments.
Whoever was directly the cause of
the war, the war IL on; the biggest
game OF its kind in history is being
played. Germany has her war zone,
Britain her order In council. And
Britain Is looking out for herself just
az much as Germany is. She'll stretch
a point Just as quick when the occa-
sion arises.
The Germans are good people. and
Il like them. l believe we've always
been at peact with them. We've
fought the British. But that's a by
gone. But England does not love US.
Why should we knuckle to her?
don't believe there are as many
people against Germany in this conn
try as the press would have us be-
lieve. And believe Germany Is
gaining more sympathizers every day
and Britain losing more.
There arsADlenty of Americans who
nre friends y Germany. j may shock
the News Leader but personally |
would iike--in fact. be pleased--to see
the Germans beat the whole bunch
over there.
The News Leader says then they'll
beat US Well. they are not the only
ones we have to look out for. There
are the Japs, Mexico, etc. and we may
yet be embroiled with Britain. We
must be prepared. that's all. We
don't know who we'll have TO night.

But, as say. I am an American.
