Selection of Negroes.
Julian Street says of the Virginian Negro: " . . .only the bad ones were 'sold South.' Thus the tendency was to keep well-behaved negroes in Virginia and to supply other states with the unruly ones. Naturally, then, the Virginia negro of to-day, being descended from 'selected stock' - as slave dealers' advertisements used to put it - may be expected to average somewhat higher in the human virtues than the offspring of slaves of the black belt," - "Collier's," January 27.
