to it that the colored race in the
South had better school facilities,
and adequate protection under the
law. This is also true of the North.
! There was Iever time when the
the South and the North, too, saw
more clearly theEalue OF the negro as

Hopewell, Va.-Hopewell, the "wick
eldest city," which arose out Of nothing
like town of the Klondike three and
a half years ago, has died a sudden
death.
The great powder mills Of the Du
Points, which provided sinews of war,
are being dismantled. Forty thousand
inhabitants of the town have begun
an exodus. In few months the corn
fields from which the town sprang
will be restored. Only stories of the
great fires of unbelievable vice and
pistol duels will survive.
The e. I. du Pont de Nemours Pow
der company built $75,000,O0O pow
der plant and Hopewell grew up with
it in a few months. Destroyed by
fire once, it was rebuilt Cornfelds
sold for $4,000 an acre. Dance halls,
gambling rooms and saloons brought
desperate men into the town. Re-
volvers were a part of every mans
equipment. A woman did not dare go
on the streets unescorted. The old
law of the Wild West days
prevailed. And now the Inhabitants
are scattering to the fonl corners OIL
The country.
