DIsPENSARIES AND DISPEN
SARIES.

It Is very hard to ascertain the facts
about the practical operation Of liquor
hispensaries In South Carolina some
say that it has proven to be the best
< solution OF the liquor question, and
others, as, for example, Rev. DR.. Gard
her, in the Sunday Times-Dispatch. say
that it has seriously intensified an evil,
From Franklin comes the opinion of
the editor OF the Graphic that the dis
$pensary at that place has not proven a
ssuccess from moral point of view,
whereas our correspondents from Boyd
ton and Martlnsville report that the dis
pensaries in those towns give general
& satisfaction and are decided improve
ment on saloons.
We doubt not. however, that there can
be found at Franklin those who think
well of the dlspensary system, and that
there can be found those at Boydton
and Martnsville who would say that
the dispensary is little or no better than
the open saloon. Many men OF many

CITY CEMETERIES.

The statement Is made that the city
emeteries do not pay" and the predic-
ton is made by some that ultimately the
whole business OF sepulture will go into
the hands Of private companies.
And SO It may when Richmond becomes
"a city OF several hundred thousand nhab-
Eitnnts. but for a long time to come condi-
items must remain pretty much as they
now are. Meanwhile we cannot but Ia
ment that SO great n frontage Of our
riverside, In or near to the city, is oc-
cupied as burial grounds.
IT would have been far better II Holly
wood had been 'located" milo or two
10 the westward. Then, no doubt, the
hills facing the river and west Of the
pententiary would have been lined with
handsome residences; but Hollywood was
opened as a cemetery in 1916. and the
people Of that day happened to be not far
sighted enough.
They did not expect Richmond to grow
as It has grown, and they did not dream
of horse cars, much less Of electric lines.
Could they have foreseen the future. the
Hollywood then-would have been locat ID
higher UP tho river, and plans would have
been laid for a fine avenue on the river
bank between It and tho city. Such an
avenue probably would have become n
fashionable drive, and the building lots
fronting 1t been In much demand. But
all that Belongs to tho past It's tho fu-
ture we must think OF now,
There Is ground about lakewood to en-

The Virginia Conference OF Charities

pared a most attractive programme and
the meeting will be Instructive and up
lifting to all who are Interested in the
subject Of public and private charities.
The programme is published elsewhere
and speaks for itself. Among the dis
tngushed speakers from beyond the
borders of Virginia who will be present
are Rev. Frederick H. Wines, Ill. D.,
OF Washington; Dr. jeffrey r. Bracket.

Baltimore. In addition there will be a
number of distinguished speakers from
Virginia. and In all cases the speeches
will be by experts, by those who know
what they are talking about.
The subjects to DO discussed are these:
Charitable and Penal Institutions in the
Counties: Shall Virginia Have State
Board of Charities? State Care Of the

formatories; Public and Private Chari-
ties.

SOCIALISM.

Quito true. Get rid Of ain and Chris

But humanity Is not made that way.
