We most decidedly decry such a
course of political action in order to
catch votes, although we believe that
actions" should "speak louder than
words" and therefore, in such an ac-
ton of charity made by them, they are
to be highly commended. They are
not forgotten by their people, but it
should not be used as political vote
catching bait and trap. We have now
heard this same contention used twice

To the People of Virginia:
The Retail Druggists Association OF
Richmond have seen fit to list lroilal
Tablets in their price list, notwithstanding
the fact that this unique and wonderful
preparation has only been advertised Tor
about two months This proves conclu-
sively that they recognize the superiority
of this natural remedy. for as rule no
druggist will recommend q patent medi-
cine because they do not know its com
position, but Ironal is q natural remedy
made from mineral water and IS not
patented medicine. The late DR.. Hunter
Mcclure in speaking of this remedy said:
II consider your remedy a tonic and lax
alive of great Importance Upon our re-
quest he put these words in writing, and
we have them on file in our office lronat

meeting will be held in the Opera Hot j;c
Monday night for the purpose of form
ing a permanent organization with Il
view of insuring for this city lifting
celebration and exposition to mark the
three hundredths anniversary Of the land
ing OF; the English at Jamestown. "A pc
tition has been gotten UP, which has the
signatures of some five hundred citizens,
endorsing the movement. AT Mondays
meeting officers will be elected and va
rious committees appointed. The prime
mover OF the scheme is Mr. A. e Wed

cured fitting celebration here marking
the one hundred and fifteenth anniversary
of the old town. Mi. Wedderbrlln has
been working indefatigably for some time
past and he believes tina Alexandria

exposition as any city in the State.
Merchants aud other citizens, however.
have given the matter but little attention
and they do not seem to have the same

Most of them think Richmond will be ia
vored with the exposition. NotWithsta1ld-
ing the seeming lack OF interest s. in the
matter it is believed that II the Meeting

arouse animation in those who have not
yet considered the matter and 1T is more
than probable that strenuous efforts will
be made toward securing the exposition
for this city. szBs

they have developed along the Gulf coast

The South. Following this would come
The thousand and one other industries,

,&et for tho product Of tho furnaces OF
Alabama. and other Southern States, thus
chriating the necessity under which they
,iow, labor of finding a market in the
North and West. and at times even III
Europe, for their output The iron-1nakers
OF the South arc hampered by the lack
Of a home market They can only sell
Tho bulk OF their product by paying from
t2.h1 to 81 a ton freight for its delivery
some other market. and thus compete
with this burden Of freight added to the
cost of their production. With a home
market they would have a vast advant-
ego, and the South would begin to at
tain unto that position in The iron and
