CAPT. PIZzINI'S
BIG PURCHASE
Buys Square Near the Ma.
tatorium; to Make $780,
600 improvements.

Captain Andrew Pizzinf, Jr., has pur-
chased a. square or more of land adjoin-
ing his uatatoriurn at the Reservoir. The
price is S4911.67.
This property is on the north side Of
Dance Street, extending from the east
side of Cedar Street TO the west side OF
Elm Street, making altogether one of the
largest tracts of land sold near Richmond
for quite while. The property was
bought through Messrs. j. B. Elan ana
Company from Mrs. Ella ]. ST. John.
Captain Pizzini said last night that 1t
was his plan to construct on this land
and the other which he has already
bought near the natatoriurn his system of
amusements. The toooggan slide will be
built in part on the land purchased yes
terday. 1t will cost about $1,000. Work
on 1t has already been begun. Mr. Ste
phen E. Jackson, Of Coney Island, will
have direction of the construction Of
these amusements. His personal repre-
sentative is already here. Mr.. Jackson
comes later.
The entire surroundings at the east sid,a
of the Reservoir Lake will have changed
by late spring. Everything will center
about the natatorium. Here is list Of
the new amusements that will be provid-
ed by summer: Toooggan slide, merry-go-
round, improved shooting gallery, bowl
ing alley, shuttle board. vitascope and
the eleven old maids, something entirely
new here. Last of all will be the
restaurant, which will be in the grove,
and the only member of the Pizzini group
which will be separated from the lot.
This latter will be very handsome struc-
ture. Tho entire improvement to be made
this spring will cost $4,000. They will
cover ten acres. The cost of the nata-
torium alone was s25,Oo0. This will give
the plant an aggregate cost OF no less
than $500.

.ELEC Trio, LIGHT
FIGHT EXT PECTED.
Result Will be Profitable to
the City, No Matter Who
Gets the Contract.

There Is likely to be big fight for
the privilege OF furnishing electric lights
to the city, when the contract Is given
out this spring. Both the Passenger and
Power Company and the Virginia Elec-
trical Railway and Development Com
pany will make bids
The city now has 6H lights, for which
1t Is paying 16 cents a light per night.
Less than ten years ago the cost to the
city was so cents. At that time there
was q question before the Council as to
the feasibility of establishing and main
tanning a plant, and then it was that
the rate was cut to It's present figure
by the electric light company.
The present figure Is considered low.
Statistics and reports show that there
are but two cities in the country with
lower rates, and 1t is said that the COM
pany barely clears itself in the trans
action.
In its bid for appropriations for the
coming year, the Light Committee asks
for $4,000 for electric lights. This covers
the amount to be paid for 544 lights.
When the matter reaches the Finance
Committee in it's work Of mailing up
the budget bids from the Development
Company and the Passenger aad Power
Con pahv will confront them.
In their efforts to secure the contract
the two companies will endeavor to out
bid each other, and it is SAID by som.
city officials that it is not improbable
that the proposition now before the
Manchester Council will be paralleled.
Since the new machinery has been in
stalled in the plant Of the old company,
that company has been reaching out.
It's service has improved. and now 1t is
fight between the old and the new
companies, with possible reductions In
,,ricas all MI fho line
The present Council will deal with the
matter, and there are some lively times
in anticipation when the fight comes be-
fore that body.
The Passenger and Power Company
through it's counsel, Captain A. B. Gut
gen, stated that the offer to supply Man
chester with seventy lights free Of cost
was made in good faith. The bid of
the Development Company was $50 per
light per annum- This is just about So
less a year than the city is now paying
the Passenger and Power Company.
When bids are made here for the 5fi
lights, the price will, naturally, be less
than that made in Manchester, md the
result will be a gain for the city. no
matter which way the contract goes.
The matter is receiving much atten-
ton from Councilmen, and at the next
meeting of the Light Committee it will
be discussed.

ST. ANDREWS CHURCH.
The Work is Not Being Done by smaIIcy
Co. the Contractors, But By the Ownsrs.

A gentleman who is familiar with The
condition of affairs at st. Andrew s
Church requests The Times to say that
the statement appearing in The Times
of yesterday to the effect that the coz
tractors, T.. malley & Co had resumed
work on the church, was incorrect and
misleading.
The fact is, that about ten days ago
the owners took charge of the work, us
was permitted under the contract in case
of failure or unreasonable delay OF the
part OF the contractors. The work IS now
being done by the owners. Smatlcy &
Co. have no further connection with it.

The statement made in a card over

for my readers and shame to damn
it as an untrue and uncalled for

The Lowndes News has not receiv-

OF DEMOCRATIC ANCESTRY.

Thompson's Father Fought for
Democracy in the Dark Days.
Tuskegee, Ala, Aug. 81, 1909.
Editors The Advertiser:
I notice in The Montgomery Jour-
nal Of August Goth, communica-
ton signed "Publius," the following
extract:
ct notice that Cass Garrett and
Charlie Thompson are going to DIS
franchise Colonel Brewer. Both OF
these bucks are of Republican ante
cedents, their fathers having been
in. the radical camps during the dark
est days Alabama ever saw, and II
the Booker T. Washington antics OF
Charlie are a fair sample Of his own
Democracy, the child has not inn
proved on the politics Of the parent"
At the suggestion Of the many
friends of Col. G. w. Thompson, who
have known him from boyhood, l
desire to pronounce this statement
untrue, and without the slightest
foundation in fact. William r.
Thompson, the father Of Charlie
Thompson, was a popular and highly
esteemed citizen Of our county for
many years. He was always Dem
ocrat. He was elected Sheriff Of our
county by the Democratic party in
those dark days, and did as much as
any man to redeem our county and
State from the horrors of negro rule.
He risked his life and liberty, and
for his zeal and activity was arrest
ed and arraigned by the villianous
minions of the Federal courts. He
has been dead for many years and
was much esteemed by our entire
community for his many good traits
of character. None but ghouls dis
turb the dead. We would commend
to Publius the maxim, Ode mortuis
nil nisi bonum."
Such utterance will not harm Char
lie Thompson. He is beyond the
reach of such slanderous shafts. His
Democracy is uninlpeached, and sucn
efforts will fall harmless at his feet.
He has always been in the forefront
of every political battle in our coun-
ty and district since his early man
hood. He was chairman OF the Coun-
ty Democratic Executive Committee
for several years. He was elected
State Senator from the Twenty-sixth
Senatorial District, composed OF the
counties of Macon and Bullock. He
was nominated and elected TO the
present Congress, and has more than
realized the expectation OF MS
friends, having made an unusual rec
ord for ability and usefulness to his
constituents. Such attacks should
arouse the indignation of all fair
minded Democrats in the Fifth Dis
trict, and doubtless they will speak
out in thunder tones on next Mon
day, against such miserable prac-
tees, and endorse him for renomina-
ton by a majority that will forever
condemn such unworthy schemes.

DRIVEN OUT OF BUSINESS.
Hudson Bay Company is Collapsing
Before Civilization.

Time was when the Hudson Bay Com
pany was the most powerful corporation
on the American continent The company
is still in existence and it's shareholders
are growing rich. but not at as rapid a
pace as formerly. Interest in the com
pany has recently been revived by the
report of a dividend and a bonus of$5.50
per share at the last meeting of the cor
poration in London. There was a time.
not so very far away. when this COM
pany was the greatest, If not the richest.
in the world. that is Its operations COW
cred a wider field than any other; its en-
ployes were more numerous and 1t did
more to develop its territory and preserve
peace among the wild denizens than was
done by statesmen and armies. IL own
ed Canada. or most of it, and carried
the beaver. otter, mink and other fur
bearing animals that were brought to its
forts by the Indians, while it placated
the Indians by this insurance of a mar
ket and by occasional distributions of
guns. powder, blankets. -four and kick
saws for personal ad-rnment
But the Hudson Bay Company is forced
to retire before an advancing civiliza-
ton. The Indian Is growing canny. He is
wearing trousers and entertains banker
ings for pie. Moreover, he has been so in
dustrious in the hunt that with the help
of white visitors he has killed off most of
the fur-bearing animals, exterminated the
buffalo, is taking salmon out of the riv-
ers and is putting himself and the COM
pany out of business. The company has
been obliged to go into all sorts of side
issues. such as the selling of real estate
and the maintenance of crossroads gro
ceries. and has abandoned its posts along
what was recently the frontier. 1t must in
time disintegrate. and the enormous ter
ritory that it possessed will pass, is now
passing, into the hands of farmers, lum-
bermen, miners and independent trades
men. 1t did a great deal for Canada, and
blazed the way for its ultimate occu-
pancy.
