GOVERNOR TYLER's RECORD.

Major J. Hoge Tyler, who for the past
four years has been Governor OF the
state of Virginia, to-day retres from
Office and returns to his nome IN 'lie
mountains. He carries with him the re-
spect and goodwill of the people oil thls
community and of the whole State. We
have not always agreed with the Cover
nor in his official conduct be we have
always respected him, and even In our
criticism Of his acts, which we are giad
tn say have been few, we have spoken IN
a spirit of kind regard for the Governor
as man.
Governor Tyler has given the State a
clean and honest and eminently respect
able administration. He has set noble
example Of honesty. morality and fidelity
He has looked we'll after the affairs Oh
state and has been a faithful steward.
There have been no political jobs under
Tyler,s administration. He has kept
well in touch with the people of the
state and his ear has always been open
to their suggestions and to their COM
plants. He has been not merely ap-
proachable. but he has been most ami
able and cordial toward all who have
approached him in the proper spirit.
We should say that the prominent char
acteristic of Governor Tyler's admins
tration has been kindness. He is a pure
man. and an honest man, but he seems
to have a genuine love in his heart for
his felIow-beings, and a. genuine SYM
patily with those in distress, no matter
what their condition in life may be. Even
the convicts of the State have found him
arnroacha,le and tender hearted, and
while endeavoring always to be just and
while recognizing his oath Of Office, he has
not forgotten to be mercif,il-
Years ago when the Methodist Confer
erce in session in the city of Portsmouth,
good old Bishop Pierce presiding, the
question was raised as to whether or not
some Young candidates for the ministry,
who had failed in their examination,
should be given another chance. The
Bishop decided the question in the az
frmative, whereupon a member OF the
Conference who was a stickler Tor law,
asked with some show of resentment,
| under what law of the Conference this
clemency was granted. "Under the law
of Kindness replied the Bishop, and the
incident was ended, except that the gen
lie words fell like benediction upon
the assembly.
The law of kindness has been the guild
ing rule of conduct for Governor Tyler
during his administration and the people
of Virginia love him for it

FARMING THAT PAYS.

Tho Charlotte Observer prints an inter-
view with Mr.. w. Il. Crosland, Of Rich
mond county. N c., in which that gen
tIenlan makes it appear that the right
sort of farming in the South will pay
Mr.. Crosland says that twenty-three
wears ago he and Captain W. Il Everett
invested 100000 each in sixteen hundred
acres of land and farm equipment A
wear ago they took an inventory of the
farm assets and found that after having
lived on the proceeds of the farm, edu-
Gated several children, and after each
member had drawn out $4,000 additional
during twenty-five years, there yet re-
NAMED. including moneys on hand, real
estate, farm products unsold stock, cat
tie and personal effects, over 100000 in
assets. They now have 5000 acres of land
in a high state of cultivation, with every
thing needful for successful farming.
Their exhibit shows a profit Of 80 Is per
cent. in round numbers per annum.
Mr. Crosland says that no man scan
make a success of the farming industry
if he persists in contning his operations
tt one crop, be it cotton, corn, tobacco
o. what not. In his opinion the only
practical way to make farming pay is
TO rotate the crops and diversity the in
dustry.
Mr.. Crosland is evidently a good bust
ness man as we'll as u good farmer In
carrying on his farming operations he
has worked with his head as well as his
hands: he has been guided by the well
recognized rules of business, in short he
has conducted his farm as a manufac-
turer conducts his factory. We believe
that all farmers who follow that rule will
make a success OF agriculture.

THE TIMES COMPANY.
WEDNESDAY. JANUARY i, 1902
RICHMOND IN 1901.

The year 1901 was one of the most prosper
Gus years in the history of Richmond. ne
statistics for 1900 made most gratifying ex-
hibit of the city's trade, but the reports for
1901 show substantial increase from all
quarters The capital employed in 1901 IN the
city's jobbing trade was $40, 255,ooo, an in
crease OF s2I2, 500; the sales amounted TO
S4I,s75, 900, an increase of s2,73s, 300.
The statements of fourteen banks, exclusive
Of the trust companies, show that deposits in
creased from SIG, 100, 57A to SIs, 1oo,419, being
an increase OF more than $4,000, 900 in single
year. Including the trust companies the total
deposits are SIC, Us, 54s, being an increase OF
$685., 327 over 1893.
One of the best signs of the city's prosperity
IS found in the bank clearanoes for the year,
aggregating the enormous sum of s181, 49,
345. This was more than s25,ooo,ooo in ex-
cess OF the cearings of Atlanta and Norfolk
combined.
But the best exhibit perhaps, is that made
by our manufacturing establishments. The
number OF plants is 1869, an increase for the
year of 81; the number OF hands employed is
1875, an increase of 2.412; the capital en-
ployed is s23,96o,615, an increase of s4,223,-
6ss. The amount of sales for 1901 was ss55,-
e58, 105 an increase of s7,o96,2 4I.
These figures are more expressive than
words of the city's growth and prosperity.
Our retail merchants have also had a splendid
trade and all branches of business have done
well One OF The closest observers and best
informed financiers in the city said yesterday
that fichmonders had made a great deal OF
money during 1901, and he doubted if the city
ever had a more generally prosperous year.
1t is worthy Of note that although the PEG
pie of Richmond had more money in 1901 than
for many years previously, there was very
little of the speculative fever which is so cha
racteristic OF prosperous seasons. Some men
have bought and sold stocks on a conservative
basis, and we think that most of them have
made money. But there has been nothing
approaching q speculative craze. and as for a
land boom, it has not been thought of. Our
business operations have been carried on i'll a
business-like way. There has been nothing
like over-tTading, no disposition to force bus-
ness and no wildcat schemes. 1t was a great
year for Richmond. The city made substan-
tial gains in all directions and we believe that
there are grander Iiunphs for her in the year
