ssStudents come, and. students
go, but William McGtew
stays on foreyer,"Y is a
maxim among high : school
students, of the past and of today.
Mr.. McGrew is now entering upon
his twenty-seventh year of service as
janitor of sthe high shool building,
and he numbers among his warm
friends nearly half the people OF
Richmond.
Now~and then high school student
of former, days, wanders back to his
alma mater to renew acquaintance
ship with the scenes of his school
boy days, and after noticing the fac
es of the students who are now pupils
at the high school, and after inspect
ing the improvements of the building,
he begins to search for the old famil-
lar landmarks. .. - .1
The former student goes to spot
where he remembers having written
his name on a wall, of one of the
study rooms, or to a desk. over which
he was formerly lord and master,
and where, to while away study pc
ROD of pleasures, not to be found III
dry school books. he cut his initials
with his jack knife. '"+ ~ r.
But he finds that the wall has been
redecorated and that the desk has
been substituted for another. In
despair he looks around for just one
object that will recall to his mind the
cold days While he gazes he
sees the slightly stopped figure of; a
little sgray-haired man and. then he
knows that the one landmark associ-
ated with his school-boy days has
been found--the little -gray-haired
man is "Billy" McGrew.
Mr.. McGIew was born in Ireland,
reared in England, and at the age OF
u years he game to America to seek
employment. After living in New
Y orks for nine Years, where he was
employed in dry goods store, Mr..
McGrew came to Richmond late in
the seventies and secured employ
ment with W. K. Bradbury, who, at
that time was member Of the School
board. i /" Through Mr Bradbury's in
fiuence McGrew secured his present
position. -
"I can't go into "a store in this
town." said McGrew yesterday,
without meeting some former stu
dent in the high school. Lots OF
them were bad boys in their time, but
I always got along well with them.
It's funny,but most of the bad boys
are the ones that turned out well.'

The officials of the Home realize
this deplorable state Of affairs, but
are powerless to effect a remedy until
the county commissioners come to
their assistance. 1t is regarded by
those who understand the situation,
that it is a crying necessity that
prompt action be taken to provide
a suitable place for the accommodate
ton of the women prisoners of the
county asd they care of the opinion
that a woman's Jail should at once be
built, either as an addition to the

dition to the county Jail.

WAR, AND tRUMoRs' OF WAR.

! This coming summer seems destin-
ed to afford considerable excitement
for Richmond, confronted as it is by
prospects of telephone and ice wars.
Of the two the fight between the II
val telephone, companies will prob
ably be the most interesting. AL
though both companies are backed by
ample capital. the Home Telephone
Comapny seems at present to be IN
the most favorable position for pro
tracted fight. 1t has the largest num-
Der of subscribers, and furthermore
has the advantage of being local
concern backed by local capital, a
fact which greatly popularizes the
company In local sentiment. As an
offset to this, however, the Bell Tele-
phone Company announces that with
the completion of its new building
and the installation of new tele-
phones, it will be in position to rem
der better service than the Home
Company. One great difficulty which
the Bell people will have to over
come will be ta get people to. change
from the Home phone to their phone.
For even though the new phones may
give better service, it will be hard
work persuading subscribers of the
other phone that it will be worth
their while to make the change, ac-
companied as it would be by great
bother. To overcome this difficulty
the Bell people will doubtless be put
to a great expense Cor house to
house canvass, in order to arouse suf-
fcient interest in their project. Addi-
tional expense will probably be in
cured also by the Inauguration of a
campaign of rate cutting. In all
events the coming war will be ex-
tremely interesting to the onlookers
who according to present indications,
will not be compelled to pay for wit
Messing the spectacle, but on the con-
trary will very likely enjoy lower
telephone rates, for the time being at
least.
