The Richmond climax. (Richmond, Ky.) 1897-1914, 1904-02-24

DURING the last few weeks much
has been written about the spirit O.
growth and progress that has cbarac
terized our town for the past two or
three years. This has heen noticeable
from a building standpoint. There
has been q remarkable growth
in this particular line. All over .Own
new buildings have been erected, and
are still being erected, just since
spriFg of last ysar in fact, almost one
new street has been opened up and
neat pretty homes built. From bus
mess standpoint this same spirit is
equally perceptihle. Our merchants
have been keeping step with the on
ward march of time and progression.
Our various stores are up-to-date and
the proprietors are quick to realize
the wants of the people and to supply
same. No town of its size is better
supplied with official men, doctors,
Lawyers AMI dentists. We, as citizens,
are proud of our waterworks system
and fire projections; our system of
electric and gas lighting; our differ
ent industries. Our schools sre up to
the standard. We lay claim to as
many pretty buildings as any town Of
its SIZE in Kentucky In mentioning
the different forms of business. how
ever, we wOnld indeed, refer to the
newspapers. for in them is town re-
fected. All the thrift of, not only
Richmond. but every town is shown
by its newspapers. If the merchants
of town are splritless, lack in en-
ergy and thrift, and their stores are
juLgles Of junk and Jam, it will be
plainly seen bv the space they use in
advertising. On the other hand, il
the merchan S are full of push, and
in every way keep pace with the day,
the newspapers will loom up brilliant
ly with their column, half-column and
other live advertisements. This fact
alone will give proof of the business
that is going on in Richmond. Look
at her newspapers, read over adver-
ti.emenrs of this, that and the Other
kind of industries. and you will see
that much business is being trans
acted in our little city.

INSTEAD Of chasing off to Pittsburg.
Pa, for President for Central Uni
versity, the committee on selection
should look about nearer home for q
new head for that Institution. 1t
Toes seem to us that it is time South
ern, Institutions should learn that they
need not hope to secure student pa
trOnage outside the South, but had
better set about holding their own
Southern buys at home by having at
the heads of their Institutions popular
Southern men. 1t is purely bust
ness proposition.
Colleges cannot get along without
students. Southern colleges have a
very hard time to hold their boys
away from the larger Northern Insti
buttons, hence it is a bad policy to
seek President from a section that
contributes the fewest number of stu
dents, when, by choosing a man who
is popular in the territory that fur
ni~hes the great body of students, the
Institution is most likely to attract
aud hold the students of its own sec
ton.
Southern Denominational Institu-
tions are largely dependent upon local
cond tions. All the Massachusetts
students of Harvard might withdraw
and yet Harvard would flourish. All
the home patronage of Yale might
withdraw, but .'Old Eli" would get
there just the same. But let Scott
county citizens lose INTEREST," in George
town College; or Clark county people
in Kentucky Wesleyan College; or
Russ llville citizens in Bethel College,
and what would be the result? There
would not be corPorars guard left
to play leaP-frog.
Central University is nearly cen
fury old, and full of honors, but she
has never yet reached that stage when
the popularity of her faculty was not
an important consideration in her ma
terial welfare. She is only one of
many small colleges in the South,
above referred to. that require all the
the local patronage possible in order
to enroll a majority OF the students in
their territory.
Messrs- McEwan and Hobson, spoken
of as possible Presidents of Central Uni
versity. have nothing now in common
with the States and communities that
supply the student body Of Central
University. They are distinguished
graduates of the Institution, it is true,

Feed Is Scarce and Dear.

Fodder is selling at 50c per shock
In previous years 25c has been the
