Relief That Is Only Temporary.
Eature has kindly como to the relief OF
Richmond, generously sprinlslcd the streets
and for the time beng aSated th4a DUST
nuisance. But nature will not soma us
a shower every day, and VIC caarns rely
upon Ter to Keep the st-Arts free fronl

effect on this soil. But the use Of oil on
The streets to prevent dust is not al ex

cities 1t may work spiendidly IN Char

Z hat oil Will settle the dust, but It is
question whether the remedy is not worse
than the disease. There are several things
q be considercd: The appearance OF
streets saturated with oil, the odor. and
worse than all the tracknge. Persons
who walk over greasy streets and then
ntosthc house where there ire carpets
leave destruction in their wake.
Richmond might make q few expert
mcnts with oil, but water is good enough /;
there is no experiment in sprnkllng. Coun-
Gilman Ferguson has again to ken3up this
subject and will soon make a PROPOSAL
to the Council. He is heartily supported
BY some Of his associates and there is
promise of relief. l.
We have good reason to believe that
the Virginia Passenger and Power Com
pany would render good service in this
direction If the city were u little more
liberal. If the city would only supply the
company with water FREQ Of cost, VIC
believe that the company would make ar
ranyemcnts to sarrnkle ,:.thc streets upon
which its tracks afe' laid for distance
of ten feet or more on either side of the
track. We should like to know why this
arrangement cannot be made. Tho city
pumps are operated by water power anc
the additional cost to the water depart.
mcnt of furnishing the Passenger ant
Power Company with free water TO-
sprinkling purposes ought not to be ma
terial. The company under its prcsen
management Is fair and public spirited am
we doubt not that If the city would furnisl
Il the water the company would distribute
1t as generously as possible.
If there is dny good reason why such a.
arrangement may not be made, we shout
like TO know what 1t is. What says Su

The Value Of Birds.

Few people who stop to consid

They are apt to think that birds
are Of little use. The Jackson

cent editorial says:
Over eighty million dollars
annually 90 towards saving the
trees of this country from insects.
Isn't it cheaper TO have the birds
do the work Z One man in Flori-
da this year planted peppers, peas
and sunfowers throughout his
grove in corners, to attract the
birds; nov his neighbors are ask
ing him why his trees remained
free from insects and are surpris-
ed to hear he spent nothing for
Insecticides from the drug store. 3
All over this country there has
gone ON from year to year a ruth
less destruction Of tho birds. APP
pareRtly people have not stopped
to consider that these birds are
indeed very useful to the farmer,
the fruit raiser and the truck
grower, filing nicely the place

should Gil. In many States in the

FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
The Switch Engine in the |. c. Yards
Claims Another Victim.

Lee Bass, 10 years of age, a
switcbman on the yard engine at
this place was run over and his
left leg almost severed from lis
body besides other minor wounds,
Monday afternoon while coupling
cars in the northern part Of town
at the railroad scales. He was at
once brought to the Office of DIR.
/. L. Parsons, railroad surgeon,
where Drs. Parsons, j. III. Purser
and j. W. Bennett did all in their
power to alleviate his suffering
and to save his life, amputating
the injured member close up to
the hip. After lingering until
yesterday afternoon at 4:30, the
young victim died, sadly lamented
by family and friends.
Young Bass is the second brake
man killed by the switch engine

this community. He was a quiet,
