eighty-nine whites and twenty-one col

Abingdon is not accessible. but the North

to nearly one thousand. of which about
three hundred and fifty were colored- 1t

The second week of October will be
given these two precincts, but the regis

small.
One OF tho colored preachers Of Abing-
don has advised the colored people not to
attempt to register. evidently under the
idea that the entire Constitution will be
annulled by the United States Court.
On Wednesday last the Registration
Board published a rule they had adopted.
that henceforth while examining any ap-

all other persons must leave the room,

ANTICS OF SHETLAND PONY
He Ran Away, Threw His Mistress Out,
Then Ran Again.

Mrs. N. Loder was thrown from her
vehicle yesterday morning between
Eighth and Ninth Streets on Franklin. a
Shetland pony she was driving ran away.
and after the small horse had unseated
his mistress was checked in his wild career
in a most humiliating way by Mr.. Car
ence Gilbert. who, seeing the mad steed
coming his way, ran out at the Alham-
bra Hotel and making a flying tackle,
threw the runaway for about tive yards
loss. The pony was both surprised and
mortified at this end to his runaway
scheme and being set on hts feet again,
stood with low-hung head, awaiting a
second opportunity, Which was AFFORDED.
Mrs Lodor vas not seriously injured,
though she Is suffering from the nervous
snock and a spralned ankle.
She was carried into the office of Dr.
Cary Oppenheimer, near the scene of the
accident, and there attended by DR.. W.
T. Oppenheimer. There were two chill
dren in the cart. but neither was hurt.
The ponys second attempt to run away
was made when Mr.. and Mrs. Lodor. leav-
ing the doctors office. started to drive
home. This time he succeeded in run
ming into tree near the pavement and
breaking the cart so that another vehicle
had to be gotten to take the injured
lady to her home.

NOT NECESSARY TO
RAISE ASSESSMENT

To the Editor OF The Times:
Sir.-As requested, I write briefly to
say that I do not believe that 1T Is ne
cessary TO raise the assessment for
street improvements in order that we
may have better streets. OF course. the
streets could be more rapidly improved
with larger appropriations for that pur-
pose. But it does not seem that reilei
can only be looked for IN that direction
Tho chief trouble up to the present
year. and this has been the case for
many years, is that the general appro-
priaton for streets has been divided by
wards and the money was in that way
not used TO the best advantage.
Some person or board should be vested
with authority to spend the money on
the most travelled streets without regard
to ward lines. a particular street, or
a greatly travelled part Of it. should be
selected and paved. and this street or
section should be finished before work
is begun elsewhere.
Almost all kinds OF pavement have
been tried and are in use in the city e1-
cept the paving made Of wood. The city
has long since outgrown macademized
streets and yet we have numbers OF
them, none of which are as good as the
Brook Turnpike. or any other turnpike.
because of the heavy traffic which passes
over them and cuts into the surface and
makes them worse than country roads.
Any bicycle rider would prefer to hide
on the Brook Turnpike to any macade-
T1ized street in the city.
1t the city is unable to pave but one
street, or even a part Of it, a year, this
one street. or part selected. should be
paved thoroughly and permanently in
the best style of the art of paving.
Then the next one paved should be the
next most used street. Heretofore. as
the money was scattered by wards and
not used in the construction of pave
ments where they We're most needed and
the roadways We're most used. the city
did not derive the best results from tho
appropriation for streets. The present
system is much better. as the results
will doubtless show Some of the streets
are fixed only in temporary way. The
payements should be the best and most
durable that can be constructed by the
ingenuity OF man on all the thorough
fares, and wherever pavements are
needed.
Street cleaning can doubtless be great
" improved also. but if the streets were
better paved it would be easier to keep
them clean. At this time 1t does not
seem probable that the people would
be willing to tax themselves any great
er for streets; but 1t is possible that
it would be practicable to increase the
tax for that purpose if they could ac-
tually see better streets mado with the
present revenues
Respectfully.

PRESENT SYSTElffS
VERY UNSATISFACTORY

Editor of the Times !:
Sir,-I am pleased that you have in
troduced the question as TO how Rich
mond can be beautifed," and that you
have appealed to the people for sug-
gesions.
Fact LIS, there seer,: to be somebody
connected with your paper who Of late
has taken an exceptional interest in the
every day practical concerns of the city.
Many of the suggestions made by those
who have written upon the subject now
in hand meet my full appreciation. while
there are others not so easily accepted
Tor instance. I cannot just at this mo-
ment get my consent to shade and or
namental trees along the adtive and
business portions of Main q wish we
would change the name) and Broad
Streets, for many reasons.
1t Is remarkable to say the least, after
all OF these years. and all the money
spent, that so far as the city's work
IS concerned, we cannot point to a sin
gle one of our streets with any cScee
OF pride.
Suggestions of course come eaily. but
the underlying question IS: How are we
to start about the realization OF those
things which occur to US?
Never Will we accomplish anything
worthy Of us, or make single step per-
haps in the right direction, so long as
the City Council works through a Street
Committee as this committee is now con-
stituted, and with the system prevail
Ing. Right here the start must be made,
for the work OF this committee drifts
nearly altogether to individual ageran-
dizement and as little as possible to
general street Improvement Just SO
long as the citizens OF Richmond are
content to see this sort Of thing go on
and cannot be aroused to that active
interest in the city's affairs which will
cause the people as a whole to make
demands OF their servants in the Council,
We will have no better condition than
now exists.
II million OF dollars were appropria-
ted tomorrow for street Improvement
generally. is 1t difficult to guess the
play and the. actors?

was taken down around Monroe Park.
