Velasquez, a pretty young southern woman of Spanish descent, who disguised herself as a man and for many months served as lieutenant in the confederate army under the name of Lieut. Harry Buford, says the Chicago Tribune. In this capacity she took part in several battles leading her men with great fearlessness and skill and winning the compliments of her superior officers for gallantry on the field of battle. In the latter part of the war she was made an agent of the confederate secret service, and in various disguises spent months in the north, traveling repeatedly from New York to Chicago, Philadelphia and other cities. At one time she even succeeded in getting employment under the head of the United States secret service in New York city, and in that position was able to secure information of great value to the confederacy. At the battle of Ball’s Bluff she was in command of a regiment, and the men under her charge captured more than 100 federal prisoners. It was the scene of bloodshed of which she was forced to be a witness here that finally led her to give up active service in the army and go into the secret service, which, while quite as dangerous, did not lead her constantly into the presence of wounded and dying men. During the whole of her service she was never wounded though it is said that she often took greater chances than were necessary.

Student Name Elias Sturim Summary White women complain after the jobs that promised to pay well and provide them stable work leave them with "great dissatisfaction and discontent." Item Type Article Image No URL https://virginiachronicle.com/cgi-bin/virginia?a=d&d=RP18991230&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Topic Women Times Repeated Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Much Work and Very Little Pay. Country Lasses Quit Work. All Money Goes to Board Mistresses- Gloomy Times Ahead. The tobacco and shirt factories of Richmond and vicinity have had much trouble in the matter of obtaining white girls. They finally concluded to try colored ones. This raised a commotion among certain white men of limited means and the Young Business Men’s Association is reported to have gone down in an effort to bring white girls here from the country districts. They made all kinds of promises it seems, and their efforts were rewarded with only partial success. The following from the Richmond News of Friday, Dec. 8th explains itself: “Great dissatisfaction and discontent is manifested by the country girls employed in some of the factories in the city. They feel and say that they have been deceived and unjustly treated. Sixty-five of them employed at the Allen & Ginter Branch of the American Tobacco Company are on a strike, on account of their wages being reduced from 8 cents a hundred to 6 cents a hundred for rolling cigarettes. SAY PROMISES WERE NOT KEPT, The girls only want what was promised them, and say that if they are paid the regular price of 8 cents a hundred they are willing to go back to work. The promise of the manufacturers to the girls, the girls say, was that when they came to work in their factories, they would be paid in the beginning $2 a week for two weeks, and after that time they would be paid for the work done. It developed, after the girls came down from their homes in the country, to a strange city to work, that out of the first week’s salary of $2 the sum of $1.80 was taken for the so-called tools, which the girls say, is only a plank on which the cigarettes are rolled. EXPERIENCE OF SISTERS. Two fresh, young girls, who were sisters, from one of the counties, nothing more than mere children, came to work in one of the factores and after the two weeks expired, they were left to make the fortune that awaited any industrious employee. These inexperienced children, away from all home ties, family and friends, found that by constant and arduous work they could turn out in a day 200 cigarettes, yielding them the pitiful sum of 16 cents for their daily labors, At the present rate of payment the amount would only be 12 center’s a’day. The kind lady, with whom these young girls boarded, advised them to leave the factory, and seek some other employment. This they determined to do, and went to the manager of the factory and stated their case, telling him it was impossible for them to exist on the wages paid them, and asking as a favor that their $1.30 tools, or board, be given them, or would the manager be so kind as to sell the tools for them, to the girls who would come to take their places. They were willing to take $1 for their boards rather than lose the whole amount. DID NOT BELONG TO THEM. They say they were told that the tools belonged to the factory, and not to them, and received nothing. All of their first weeks’ wages except 70 cents, was taken by the factory as payment for the tools. GOT OTHER EMPLOYMENT. The sisters finally succeeded in obtaining employment on Church Hill under more favorable conditions. The factory will have to get a new supply of girls or agree to pay the girls here the 8 cents a hundred for the cigarettes, as promise. Some of the girls formerly employed have gone to work during the Christmas rush, at one of the large department stores at an advance salary. IN A DEPARTMENT STORE It is their intention to remain at the store if they are able to secure permanent employment. When seen this morning the manager of the cigarette factory of the Allen & Ginter Branch of the American Tobacco Company, made the following statement: “Heretofore the girls have been paid at the rate of 8 cents a hundred, and when the work was imperfect and was rejected the girls would have to do the work a second time, receiving no pay for doing the work over.” SYSTEM CHANGED. “ This was changed, and instead of the rejected work being done a second time, the rollers were paid at the rate of 6 ½ cents a hundred for the rejected work.” The manager of the factory stated to-day that this was fully explained to the girls yesterday, and when it was made clear to them they accepted the terms. It is really an increase in the pay, inasmuch as imperfect work is paid for.” continued the manager. “The girls were laid off on yesterday because the packers did not have boxes in which to pack the cigarettes.” WEEKLY EARNINGS It was also stated that the boys, who several days ago inaugurated a strike, had all returned to work and were making from $4 to $6 a week and had been paid $2.50 a week while learning. The girls, according to the statement of Manager Schultz, make anywhere from $5 to $10 a week. One of the rollers had made in a single week as much as $13. The average was thought to be about $1.25 a day.” It seems that the manager has taken an expert as an example of what can be made while these girls have taken themselves. It was evident at first that the wages would range from $1.50 upwards. Some of the white citizens in Manchester filed a petition with the city council asking it to force the factory to discharge its colored help. This body was not slow to state that it possessed no much power.

In reply to an article published in the “Atlantic Constitution” of June 4, 1899, by Mrs L. H. Harris, concerning virtues of the Negro woman of the South, the time has come for a honest statement of fats from the Negro’s side of the question. I admit there are low, degraded Negroes in the south and how could it be otherwise? But I ask the question, why? The lust that killeth, In the days of slavery when the masters would take young slave girls, seduce them, make them yield to satisfy their animal passions and the Negro woman dared not refuse; take their own daughter and sell them to Negro tradera for their mistresses. Now, I ask, is their any wonder under these conditions? She speaks of the Negro lacking “honor and noble ambitions.” Is there any wonder that the Negro of the south lacks honor and noble ambitions when they were born under the lash, bound in chains, sold like mules? The Doomed Daughter, She speaks of a “doomed daughter of a mother hardened by crime” Is there any wonder that this mother should not be hardened when she has seen her daughter sold for this fiendish purpose by her master? She speaks of the “marriage vows.” There were some masters of the south who did not allow their Negro women to marry as they liked. They had to suit them in many cases just as a man breeding fine stock. He would not allow them to marry outside of his own premises and therefore mated them as he liked. I say it is wrong to condemn the Negro of today for this, that was forced upon them by their masters centuries ago. They stole the Negro from his native country, brought him to America, mixed in their Caucasian blood and now condemn him for the disgrace. The cause of the Trouble I say the Negro’s virtue should not be spoken of by the Caucasian who is responsible for the mixed blood that flows in the veins of the Negro today. I say it is a disgrace to any southern woman to write an article of the kind concerning the Negro woman’s virtue. It does not reflect much credit on the white men of the south. If this lady would only take the time she spends writing of Negro women’s virtue, use it in missionary work among the low, degraded class of white women, she would be doing a grand work. “Charity should begin at home” and to help to save the harlots among her own sex who have fallen of their own accord, unlike the poor Negro girl I saw sold in Richmond VA, in 1862, who when her master sent for her to come and spend the night with him she said, “She would die first,” and what was the result? She was taken in the guardhouse and severely whipped. There was her mother and sister to witness this great wrong. This lady says her purpose is to call attention to the debased motherhood of the Negro of the south. I would advise the lady not to write up subjects where her race is so deeply involved in the great wrong and sin they have placed upon this people. (Mrs) E. V.
