STREET CARS NOT SOLD.

The Street Car property and fran
chises which were offered for sale last
Saturday were not sold. Mr.. r. D..
Apperson OF Lynchburg, former man
ager. was on the ground and bid about
81, 900 for the property, but the COM
missioners declined the bid and took
the property down.
There is no doubt that the property
has a value greater than was offered
for it. The impression seemed to be
that Mr.. Apperson, had he gotten 1t,
would have torn up the rails and along
with any other property of the com
pany shipped them away. This possibly
caused the refusal of the bid. Had
some one bid who would have been
known to lnted to run the plant it is
more than likely 1t would have been
sale at that figure. but to see the prop
erty dismantled and lost to the city
was not what was sought.
There is no question but that we are
on the eve of great work by trolley cars.
The North and West are being girdiron-
ed with them, and in most instances
they are paying handsomely. This
county has great possibilities. a line
to Middlebrook, Waynesboro, Mt.
Scion, and even other portions of the
county. would do an immense business
from the start. These lines can be
built cheaper than q good turnpike,
and they can be SO laid out as to &C
commodatesthe sections to the highest
degree. Freight and passengers could
be shipped over them with rapidity and
cheapness. We are not afflicted, as we
learn Pennsylvania is, by being owned
by one railroad corporation such as the
Pennsylvania railroad. That railroad,
we learn, has succeeded in getting the
Legislature of that State to pass law
PROHIBITING the carrying of freight
by trolley line. This may seem in
credible, but we learn it is so. 1t ls
surprising sometimes what people will
stand. The people of Virginia would
never stand such thing for moment.
Our trolley lines would be able to car
ry anything offered, the mails not ex-
cepted. We hope the Staunton line
may find a purchaser who will operate

Street Cars Not Sold.

The Stanton street car plant which
was offered for sale Saturday was not
sold as the highest bid was 81, 125.
The commissioners decided not to sell
at that figure, but will try and make
private sale. 1t appeared that none
OF the bidders present would run the
plant if they got it, but would take it
up and move it away

TEN YEARS FOR MRS. CHADWICK.
Convicted in CLEVELAND on Seven Courts
Of Indictment

Cleveland, O., March 2s.-Unless the
higher court interferes Mrs. Cassie l..
Chadwick will spend the greater part
of the next ten years in tbs Ohio State
penitentiary.
A sentence of ten years WIS imposed
upon her by Judge Robert w. Taylor
in the United States district court at
5 O'Clock yesterday evening. The sem
tence came at the close of busy day
for the court in hearing arguments on
motion for new trial. which lasted
all day. The motion was overruled.
Mrs. Chadwick was convicted on seven
counts and sentenced upon six courts.
For four of these counts a sentence of
two years each, was imposed. Upon
two counts sentence of one year each
was imposed, making total sentence
of ten years.
AS soon as the sentence was pro-
nounced Attorney j. P. Dawley, Of
counsel for Mrs. Chadwick took ex-
captions to the sentence upon each
count, except the first count.
Mrs. Chadwick was not particularly
affected by the action OF the court, as
seemingly she had resigned herself
to any action that might be taken.
When she was told the motion for a
new trial had been refused she merely
nodded her head as if she already knew,
though she is so hard Of hearing she
could not have known what words the
court uttered.

JAPANESE PATRIOTISM.

The taking of Port Arthur by the
Japanese is graphically described in
Everybody's Magazine for April by a
writer who was on the ground during
the siege. 1t is certain that no nation
but the Japanese would have taken
that fort In SO short a time for no
other nation would have been willing
to make the sacrifises. There are
stories told in this narrative of self
sacrifise which would not be credited
but for the knowledge we have gotten
OF the Japanese. 1t is not that they
are fatalists and believe In a theory
that death for their country makes
them saints thereafter, but devotion
to their country. a patriotism which
causes them to Danish every thought
but country. They die for their coun.
Try because they believe it Is the thing
60 do. Their country needs men who
will make the sacriflse, they seem to
say, and If in the attempt to
accomplish the end they are killed,
they have done their duty. This seems
to be the controlling cause, and not
fstalism. They are wonderful people.

Pertinent Remarks.

In this connection few remarks as to
the real estate situation are pertinent.
Some observers have deprecated what
REALTY does not share in this alarm
1t is true that values are high and tend
ing higher, but they rest on a sound
basis. The fact is that property business
and residential, is cheaper in Birming-
ham thana in any city of the same size
and prospects in the United States. No
man who is familiar with conditions will
dispute the assertion. Never again, per-
haps, in the history of Birmingham will
real estate values be as low as they are
now, when some persons think. or affect
to think. they are inflated. The price
of real estate is an excellent indication
of the progress of the city, and the hard
ening OF values in Birmingham should
be a matter of pride rather than other
wise. And REALTY repeats the advice
which it has given with hearty good will
and a clear conscience on several occa-
sions: If you intend to own a home in
Birmingham, buy now. II you intend to
invest in Birmingham real estate of any
kind. do so now. A year hence you will
appreciate the wisdom of these words.
whether you have hearkened to them or
not ANY property within the limits of
Birmingham is safe investment. In
some sections it will yield quicker re-
turns than in others. But 1t is all good
However to outside investors we would
reiterate our warning: Do not buy ex-
eept through reputable agents.

In word, the faith of the people in
birmingham has been wonderfully in
creased within the period named. They
reaize now that while Birmingham die
tates the price of iron, and is to be one
OF the great manufacturing points in the
world; that while there is a demand for
every pound of coal that can be taken
from her mines, and that the construc-
ton of the isthmian canal will create
great demand for her iron and steel and
coal, the progress of Birmingham will
not halt, even If there should be pc
Rod of dizziness in iron and coal. Her
other interests are large enough to tide
her over any such periods of depression.
