Some two years ago there was secured for the purpose of a great exposition, an area of woodland at Sewell's Point fronting north and west on the beautiful ex panse cf Hampton Roads. The Initial operation, in what has subsequently de- was the building oft fence around the space acquired. This apparently incon sequential item has proven a feature both uniaua and artistic. Instead of an nneighfy woofcn wall, entailing a use less waste of timber, this fence it of barbed wire, built to a height of eight feet, surmounted at the top with a roof-like projection of the same mate rial. Vines of the hardy flowering kind were immediately planted along its en tire length of two and a half miles and the fence forms a solid and impenetrs ible wall of flowery green. The tract -.thus enclosed is most admirably adapted rto the purposes for which it is intended. The location may be said to be the choicest of a choice selection, a superb eak in a surpassing settiag.

Mr. William Hill the draw tender on the P 0 and W bridge had a peculiar experience Saturday night, and at least one negro is a sadder and wiser roan. For some time Mr. Hill has been an noyed by thieves who would .sneak around and take every thing movable they could see, and he was determined to find the culprit. He hid himself near his boat which was fastened under the bridge and where he believed the ttaef would come. He had been there rome time when he heard a voice call draw tender ! oh Mr. Drawtender" but he made no answer, feeling sure that, he would make a catch. Again the cat came and when the fellow felt .there was no one around he cut oft a long new rope with which the boat was fas tened and was fretting aw.y with It -getting away when suddenly Hill stepped out from . his hiding place and demanded the rope. The man who was scared beyond ex pression handed over the purloined arti cle and attempted to "beat it" but Mr. Hill was too quick for him and gave him a sharp lick -across his face with the rope which sent him sprawling among u.. C- n? mn the piles that lined, the water. Hill followed this up with more castigation and the negro was glad enough to get away as the beating was very severe. m com no.

Scotch Perseverance a Strong Fcatnre in Effort to Get New County (Special Correspondence) Raleigh, Feb. 18. Some member of the legislature in explaining his vote on the Lee county bill yesterday that' the Scotchmen who were pressing so ear neatly for the new county would stick at it even if took twenty years to win, and he recalled the prayer of the old Scotchman who asked thf Lord to start hjm right, for as a- Scotchman started so he would stay. Now. it seems that the next effort is to be for the new county to have the name of Mclver, Some persons say that if this had been done at first the measure might have gone through. There are a great many Lee counties in the country. Then too, it is very hard to get a county created anyway.

Social economy, which has been definedUaa. the philoso phy of humanity, is -to receive atten tion at the Jamestown Exposition, as a section of the department of history and education. This subject, which has so broad a range, covering as it does all the relations of humans with each" other and with the conditons un der which they live, politically, indus trially and socially, will be treat d In divisions and subdivisions. Of these perhaps none is more interesting than that which relates to the child under the head of "Juvenile Court" Its con ceded importance lies in the fact that it is the outgrowth of a beneficent sys tem which directs its efforts to the root of human ills -and seeks preven tion or - cure, scientifically' through training, environment culture rather than in accord with the old punitive ideal , - v Miss (Minnie Bronson, who is chief of the department of Social Economy of the Jamestown Exposition, on the sub ject of the Juvenile court and its rela tions to the care of the child says: "Broad philanthropy recognises the fact that the best way to prevent crime and to protect the citizen is to rescue the children who are destitute and neg lected, and those who display prema ture symptoms of wrong-doing, by bringing to bear upon them educational and formative influences and prevent ing their' association with burdened criminals. ' " . "In the case of delinquent children, we have come to believe in the last twenty five years of growth that chil dren who commit crime are not neces sarily criminals, and that it is better not to treat them as such. . "It happens more often than not that when the real cause of a crime Is inquired Into, it Is found to be the mere boyish love for adventure which has run wild because of environment, lack of care, thoughtlessness or misdirected energy. The boy may be technically a thief. He is not, in truth one, atalL We may be made such by mismanage ment in his correction The necessity of saving this boy from the influences of prison life and of giving right direc tion to his boyish . enthusiasm is ap parent. , "With this thought in mind, the new method of dealing with juvenile criml nals was projected. ' I refer to juvenile courts. "The exhibit will include copies of laws under which each court operator, printed reports showing comparison with previous methods, letters from teachers, public officials, etc, review ing the work; charts showing the num ber and ages of children in court within a given period; others showing the parentage and forms of delinquency, etc., photographs of the house of de tention, if one exists, and its Inmates, and histories of typical cases." Thus visitors to the exposition, who are interested in such matters will find in it a comprehensive school in tabloid form of the lessons learned throughout the country by careful study and ex periment. , l '. l t. f : !
