cred a low figure.
The buildings are of brick. with white

overlooking New River, just across from
the town. The scenery, looking up and
down the river, and also the view of the
mountains and town, are charming. The
grounds contain about fifty acres.
The school has been closed for year

would be delighted to have 1T become the
home of a girsl normal school.
The fact that the buildings stand ready
and can be bought at low figures recon-
mends the selection of Radford as n site
for the school. and the llyeliest interest
is felt In the action to be taken by the

Growing Flour Trade.

Editor OF The Times-Dspatch:
Slr.---1n the table OF tile 1nanufac

been found In the flour corn-meal, picpl,
and flavoring section, which total should
read. s3,6lO.23 This makes the Crane

III. Witty.
January IL, 1906
While we regret that there should have
been an error in Mr.. Whtty's original
table, we are glad to receive this added
evidence Of the steady growth and pros.
perty OF Richmond. It is especially
gratifying to know that the flour trade
of the city is growing as 1t has done in
tine last few years.
The steady advances being made by
Richmond in all lines Of material devel-
OF ment are attracting general attention.
Our good friend, the Raleigh News and
Observer, has become solicitous lest in
our figures for last year we failed to
do the shoe business Justice. It points
out that Mr.. whitty's table gave the
total sales of manufacturers OF boots and
shoes. as s2,S74.4sO, and adds. 1.-THE shoe
business alone Is worth every year above
seven millions OF dollars. while the num-
Der of manufacturers does not exceed
a bakers dozen" Our contemporary seems
to have fallen into the error OF taking
the figures of manufacturers as repre-
senting the total Of sales OF boots and
shoes. A more careful examina'io OF
the subject shows that our figures fully
bear out the friendly estimate OF the
News and Observer. In addition to the
s2,s74,4SO OF sales tv manufacturers, our
table showing the business done by Rich
mcnd jobbers gave their sales of boots
and shoes as s4,asE675, making an ag-
