RICHMOND's SHOE BUSINESS.
Lynchbure's Claim Cannot He Sus-
tanned as TO Jobbing Trnde.

To the Editor or the Dispatch;
A special from Lynchburg. published
in the Times Of the 2Sd instant says:
~ statement Of Lynchburg's whole
sale boot-and-shoe business shows that
es.51t cases were distributed by Lynch
burg iobbers in 1896. In 1885 the number
of cases was 67,40s and in 1887, 9GH-
showing remarkable growth in this par
ticular line. and placing Lynchburg in
the lead of any city IN the South In this
department of business"
Now, we are well aware that Lynch
burg is a good shoe town, but can't see
from the above on what they base the
claim OF leading the South In this line.
Richmond has six shoe houses. to Lynch
burg's three and in every case they are
very large and good ones, and some OF
them sell goods throughout the south,
and even In Mexico.
1t Is claimed by the Lynchburg job
bers in this line that they do more' bust
ness than Richmond does, when. in fact.
It is a question as to whether they do
half as much. They base their calcula-
tions on the number Of cases received
bv each place. and they may receive more
cases but the cases they handle are
small ones, holding II. q. and S6 pairs
of shoes each; while the cases handled
by the Richmond houses are "a, So, 50.
and 70 pairs each. The reason OF
This IS that Richmond has water
freight from Boston Qhe place from
which most shoes used in this country
are shipped), of about 80 cents per case;
and n is TO the advantage Of Richmond
tobbers TO pack as much in each case
as possible, as they get large case
shipped at the same price as a small
one. on the other hand. Lynchburg has
q rail freight, which is so much per 100
rounds. and II is handler TO use small
cases and. at the same time, give them
something TO blow their own horn at.
Now. II the Lynchburg jobbers will
show I'm dollars and cents the amount OF
business done by both places. instead OF
.ha number OF cases received. or shipped.
new may convince the people that they
do what they claim.
P,chmond's freight-rates from Boston
,s onIv about one-half OF that OF Lynch
h,,rs and. therefore. the Richmond job
bsrs Get their goods at least that much
,o,yer than the jobbers Of the Hi City.

Office or railway station, have been appre-
ciated, and many expressions of gratitude
have reached the Department from the
benefciaries of this system.
Another noticeable fact is the loyal SER
vice of the carriers employed in the rural
districts. Though receiving maximum
pay of but $500 year and furnishing their
own means of conveyance, many of those
men ride 20 or 80 miles day in all kinds
of weather. over every description of road,
and often across farms where there are no
roads at sll, with cheerful alacrity. The
farmers themselves facilitate the service as
much as possible by placing boxes at con-
venient points for the reception of mail. In
every instance the introduction of the ser
vice has resulted in an increase of The
amount of mail matter handled. There is
no doubt of the desire wherever the sys-
tenn has been tried that it should be made
permanent. There is equally no doubt in
my mind that, as stated in the report of the
Committee on Post-O Offices and Post-Roads
of the Fifty-fourth Congress, the contin-
uance of rural postal delivery will eleV ate
the standard of intelligence and promote
the welfare of the people," It has unques-
tionably proved itself potent factor in the
attainment of what should be one of the
chief aims of our Government, the grant
ing Of the best possible postal facilities to
the farmer and his family, who haves in
the past, and not without good cause per
haps. thought that the Government did
not consider them entitled to improved
service, while the residents of cities and
towns, with infinitely more comforts in
everyday life, are given every blessing that
the Department can bestow,"

THE FESTIVAL.

It is seldom that a finer Middletown
audience greets those before the footights
than that on Thanksgiving evening to wit
ness the play "Out in the Streets't and to
enjoy afterwards the array Of good things
prepared by the ladies connected with the
Mercy and Help Department of the Epworth
League. But the first Of the three acts had
been played when word was brought of the
sudden death of sister of MIR. Harry
Budd, one of the principal characters of the
evening. OF course the curtain was drop
ped and announcement was made Of the
sad event.
For some time the people fingered in the
Hall, and later Mr.. j. B. Maxwell rendered
one of his choice songs. The tables were
not patronized as they would have been, the
sympathy of the whole people centering in
the berieyed home of him who had opened
the drama of the evening. The receipts
from the sale of tickets and admission at
the door were $66.OO The receipts from the
tables were: Mrs. Taylor. $1151; Mrs. DaW-
son, S. Al; Mrs. Green, S6, ,25; Junior League,
$500; Mrs. Boardley, $3.05; Mrs. Jones,
1888; Supply table, s6.35. This makes the
gross receipts about S113.
Whether the play will be presented later,
or substitute be offered. or what action
will be taken. has not yet been decided
Some return will be made the public for
their generous patronage. The ladies in
charge desire to express their thanks to all,
the caste. the audience, their helpers in
every way for the support given and they
take this means of so doing through the
