advocate Of the perpetuation Of this his
toric battle, and chapters Of the United
Daughters Of the Contederacy.
AS Prince Edward County moves to-
ward the second event in its continuing bi-
centennial celebration a program, com
memoratng the passing Of Lee and his
army through Farmville on April 7, 1868,
viii be Held in Farmville at Jarman Hall,
on April 7, 1854 at 500 o'clock
The Lockett District bicentennal com
mttee has invited the people of this area
and especially those Of Prince Edward
county, to visit Saylers Greek battlefield
during April The Hillsman house will be
opened and tea will be served each Sunday
afternoon from | 100 to 700 o'clock. Also
receiving visitors win be the Lockett House,
which played an important part in the
events Of 80 years ago
We trust that sufficient interest will be
engendered during this celebration to de-
velop this area as a national shrine, It is
the site of the only important battle in
Virginia in which the Federal Troops were
clearly successful. 1t marks the final over
powering of that gallant Confederate army
of Northern Virginia. Yankee descendants
of soldiers should, therefore, have par
ticular interest in its development and per
petuatiQn
The roads from Petersburg to Apo
mattox should be reconstructed as ma
tional historic highway, and 50 marked as
to attract tourists and visitors in Virginia.
Should the development of this historic
shrine alone result from Prince Edward
County's bicentennia celebration, the eff
forts of those interested throughout the
county will have been we'll spent.
We hope that Prince Edward people will
enjoy visit to Sayler's Greek battlefield
during April and that many will visit the
Hillsman and Lockett houses ON Sunday
afternoons

Here is a man who was born in

another obscure village. He work
ed in 4 carpenter shop until He
was an itinerant preacher He
never wrote i book He never held
an office He never owned a home
He never had a family. He never
went 10 college. He never put His
foot inside big city He never
travelled two hundred miles from
the place where He was born. He
never did any Of the things that
usually accompany greatness. He
had no credentials but Himself
He had nothing 10 do with this
world except the naked power of
His divine manhood While still
a young man the tide of
population opinion turned against
Him His friends ran away. One
Of them denied Him He was turn
ed over to his enemies He went
through the moCkery Of trial He
was nailed to a cross between two
thieves His eXecutioners Fambled
for the only piece Of property He
had on earth While lie was dying
and that was His coat When
He was dead He was taken down
and laid in borrowed grave
through the pity Of a friend
Nineteen wide centuries have
come and gone and today He is
the centerpiece Of the human race

this population is increasing about
100000 a month This means that
the unemployed figured on labor
force Of 63.000.000. is. on a per-
capita basis, only two per cent
Of the entire population This
compares with about ten per cent
unemployed in 1882. l severely
criticize any of the Labor Depart
ment or Commerce Department
who are the remains Of Dem
0cratic Bureaucracy for refusing
to used the per-capita figures,
They are not only ignoring the
growth Of the county but may
also be changing the method Of
compiling the figures. to please
the c. / O. crowd This is like
changing the rules Of a game in
the midst Of a game. Furthermore.
the increase reported under these
new rules is largely based on the
reported unemployed on a few
farms. which is a very debatable
figure
Regarding your own state
Neither Of the above figures for
present total United States I'M
employment (the standard figure
of 1885 900 nor the c l. O figure
of 3.671 ,0001 can be broken down
by states Both are too much of a
guess Moreover. Of the present
United Staes population of l61.-
$4,000 about II per cent are over
so years of age and 5 per cent are
over 70 years of eage. These figures
differ greatly with different
states. For this distribution of the
age group. the Labor Department
makes no adjustment 1t thus viii
be seen that the whole business
is guesswork and should be cor
rected or suppressed However. an
unemployment of only ? per cent
is nothing to worry about. Such
a small percentage should give
confidence and optimism for the
1854 outlook.

to figure out the profit in this one deal
In other words, the Party Of the People
which rules the Russians, does not seek
in its trade agreements-to bring in food
stutfs and desirable commodities for the
average Russian. On the contrary, the gov

commodities in an effort to make money,
and take back the wages of the proletariat.
That is the way it works in the proletariai

Another feature to be consider
ed is that some states have
greater percentage Of itinerant
workers Under present laws in
many states, if persons on the
labor force are employed for one
or two quarters within d certain
twelve month period. then the
person is entitled to unemplOy-
ment insurance of from $50 to $50
per week. even though the person
is not a resident of the state and
perhaps has even left the state
altogether. Your states reported
