DR.. SouthaI was in his office at the
Department OF Public Instruction Tcster-
day having returned from Norfolk, where
he inspected the schools of that city,
which, by the way, lle says are in fine
condition. lie is much pleased with the
strides being made in the line OF public
education III the city by The sea. and
SAYS there are no better managed schools
in the State.
In talking of the fights for school SUI
pcrintcndents. DIR. Southall said the APP
pointments would be made some time
in the month Of May, as is usually the
case. No applications will be received
after April 18th and by May lst Secre-
tary Brent will have the papers in shape
for the board. DIR. Southall has been
much worried by the intimation in GER
tain quarters that the patronage of his
department would be used in the interest
OF one Of the candidates for Governor.
He said yesterday that there was not
the slightest foundation for such talk,
and that there was no disposition on the
part of the board either to delay appoint
nents or to appoint the superintend-
ents with reference to the SubernaIorial

AN INTERESTING STORY
Commonwealth Attorney Cox. of Scott
county, was at the Capitol Yesterday, and
gave Governor Tyler q very interesting
account of the case of Prendergrast, the
man whose pardon is sought by a Gal
weston preacher on the ground that his
mother having been a victim of the food
in that city is In destitute circumstances
and needs him to aid in her support. Mr.
Cox says Prendergrast and young man
named Pendleton went some years ago to
Inc home of an old man in Scott county
at night for the purpose Of robbinS him.
They called him to his door, and accord
ing to the evidence at the trial, Pendle-
ton covered him with two pistols and
shot him in the arm. The old man ran
and was pursued and shot to death by
Pendeton, while Prendergrast robbed the
house of 81. Tho men went to Texas
and then to Missouri. where. in an at
tempt to commit another mold up, ZEN
dleton was Killed. Prendergrast came
back TO SCOT. gave IlillsSIl op' iHie
himself on the mercy OF the court and
was sentenced to ten years in the peni-
tentiary He has now served about
year of his term.
Mr.. Cox believes the story about the
mans mother being in destitute circum-
stances has been overdrawn, and says she
has a step-daushter in Scott county, who
is wealthy and able to help her out OF
her troubles.
The Governor is much interested IN the
case. and will take it up officially IN a
few days. though he hardly thinks II
one for executive interference.

STICK RIGHT TOT
And Coffee Will "Do You" Good and
Brown if You are Ri@ hly
Or0auiZc0,

It is remarkable how persistently men
or women Will stick to Il drug through
tnlclz and thin, even after they become
convinced that the drug is slowly killing
them.
This is illustrated thousands of times
every day. a sample case is that of F.
l.. Wolford, of Columbus, O., VINO says
that all his life, since a boy, when he be-
gan drinking coffee. he has heen any
thing but robust. even N What might
be termed good health. He has tried all
sorts of drugs and toncs, and consulted
many doctors. He quit tobacco. avoided
all intoxicating drinks, stopped ea.ns
pastry. and took life easy as far as work
was concerned, but the same old trouble
continued and he could not get well.
He stuck to coffee because he said.
81 could not do without; it. The climax
came Just about a year go. went all
to pieces with nervous prostration, neu-,
rasthenia and insomnia. The physician
absolutely demanded that I cease drink
ing coffee, and put me on Postum Food
Coffee.
Il very much disliked to think that I
must take something in place of coffee,
but to my surprise 1 found that Postum
was so delicious and so exactly like first
CLASS Java coffee in taste, that 1 got on
with it very well.
After a few days I began to notice
that l craEed Postum as much as had
the old coffee, and the longer I use Pos
tum the more satisfied become with It,
until to-day I2look upon Postum as the
real thing and the ordinary coffee as the
substitute
II would not give one cup of Postum
for all the coffee that grows in Central
America. not only as {, drink. but for
what it has done for my health T have
built UP again until am in better healt.
than ever was, and owe the entire
praise to Postum. It is simply case of
leaving off a poison and using health
full food drink. containing powerful ele-
ments of nutrition.
MANY among my own friends have quit
coffee and begun using Postum Food
Coffee:
Orchard Wilhelm. s23 E. Main ST.. ana
his wife. bother suffered from dyspepsia,
but were cured by quitting coffee and US
ing Postum Food Coffee.
James Neukamp. a grocer on E. Fulton
ST.. had liver complain. He has been
greatly benefited by leaving of coffee
and taking Postum.
1T can give YOU the names ola number
Of others who have either been entirly
cured or greatly benefited by the use Of
Postum.

Additions to a Manufactur-
ing Plant.

A Farmville gentleman was here yes
terday for the purpose of interesting
Richmond capital inethe. projected hotel
soon to beserected in that city. He said
he would4sno have the slightest diff
Guilty in getting all the money he might
need; las "a matter of fact it is not necss-
saryf.to get any portion of the capital
in Richmond, as about all needed has
been gotten elsewhere, and more can be
obtained
The hotel will:be one Of the finest on
the line OF. the Norfolk and Western.
Farmville has long needed another hotel,
as the two there are wholly inadequate
TO the needs Of the town.
The new hotel, the plans for which are
being drawn by Lynchburg architect.
will be large and elegant 1t will be
run in connection with the Farmviile
Lithia Springs, which are only about
mile from the proposed site Of the hotel
An automobile service will be put on
between the springs and the hotel. The
hotel will be located next to the Plant
ers bank of Farmville, beautiful To-
cation.
Richmond is to have another large
manufacturing industry added to her
list in the immediate future. Benjamin
T. Crump &, Co.. of No. 1860 East Main
Street. have already completed plans for
the extensive enlargement of their plant
and will manufacture harness ana SAD
dies on an extensive scale.
The plant will be located at their pres
cnt place of business, but the building
will be remodeiled. The equipment.
which has already been ordered, will
consist Of the most modern and improved
machinery. \ large number of lands VIII
be employed. 1t is expected that the
new industry will be in operation in
May.
The Life Insurance Company of Viz
ginia will move into the temporary quar-
tiers. in the Old City Hall, as soon as the
present tenants Of that building can find
new locations.
The insurance company will also re-
quire some more or less extensive alter
ations and repairs on this building before
occupying it and as they are compelled to
vacate their present quarters, IN. the
Hanewinckel Building, by June 1st, are
rushing the matter. / is expected that
the moving will begin, however, in a
very short time.
The property on the corner of Grove
Avenue and Elm Street. which was
bought in a the auction sale Monday by
private party, it is understood was
acting for the Westminster Presbyterian
congregation. 1t is said that it is the
intention of the congregation to erect
on this site handsome edi1ce. The pur-
chaser, however. refused to either con-
firm or deny the report.
