on the human race is so widespread
that it has become universally rec
ognized, and as the most desirable
exponent of music the piano has at
tanned prestige and popularity over
all other instruments. These condi-
lions, coupled with the evolution of
mankind to higher planes, and the
cultivation of aesthetic tastes. has
offered an extensive field for the ar
tistic development of the piano.
The relation of art to the manufac-
ture of pianos should not be misun-
derstood If conducted with proper
realization of the possibilities to be
attained, unsteady speaking, as well
as from an architectural viewpoint,
piano building should be Justly &C
credited as one of the fine arts. As an
art product, in the true sense of the
term, the Starr Piano has won an en-
viable reputation. The models We
are now presenting to the musical
world are of the most approved types
of modern architecture. and in every
detail of construction have been per-
feeted TO the highest degree of ex-
cellence.

Among the many industries of
Richmond there are few that see as

Co. This concern makes a specially
of Railroad printing. and at nearly all
times has a force of men working on

ions of the Pan Handle Just at pres
ent it is engaged in printing list of
shippers and switching rates from
every point on each division of the
p. c. C.. & st. l.. Railway. west of
Pittsburg, besides numerous other
smaller tariffs for the same company.
The principal reason for this work
coming to Richmond is that it is han
died with more promptness and with
greater degree of accuracy than
the company have found it possible
to secure in Pittsburg or elsewhere.
Part of this work has been done at
the Coe concern for a number of
years, but for the past few months
the quantity has more than doubled
and the coming year promises to
greatly increase this line of work.
But railroad printing is not the
only kind of work the Coe folks are
doing. They are daily turning out fine
half tone and commercial work OF
which latter class they are probably
doing more than all other Richmopd
printeries combined. 1t is not an I'M
common thing for them to receive or
ders from distant points, and within
the last few weeks several hundred
dollars worth of work has been print
ed by them for parties on the Pacific
Coast

My dear Sir: In pursuance of the

will address the citizens of your
county at your county seat on the

official duties will prevent me from
attending the meeting. The pres
ent ses sion OF Congress has been e.
long, tedious, and important one
A great many measures of interest
to the public have been and are
now pending, and it is of the ut
most Importance that every mem
Der of Congress should stand by his
post of duty during the closing
days to protect the people from
rash, unwise and hasty legislation,
so common to legislative bodies in
the last hours before adjournment.
1t would afford gmeg much pleas
ure to attend the me- citing and meet
my constitute nts,S and give sthe emsan
account tfof my yssfeWardshiD,s but my
official duties require my presence
here, and hold that public and
official duty is the highest obliga-
tion an officer or citizen should
know, and I feel that L would be
UNIV orthy of the trust and conf
dence imposed in me were l to de-
selt my official duties, at this time,
to go to my District in my own per-
souai interest to seek reelection to
this high Office, which I now hold
at the hands of the voters Of the
Second Congressional District.
When my duties here have been
performed, and Congress has ad-
journed, I will return to my home
in South Carolina and endeavor to
meet all of the people of my Dis
trict face to face, and give an ac-
count of my actings and doings as
their representative in the Con-
gress Of the United States.
[ have been active and energetic
in my efforts to serve my
District faithfully, and I trust that
my course in Congress will meet
with the approval of my constitu-
;nts, and that they will feel war
ranted in re-electing me to Con-
gress, that the knowledge and ex-
perience of Congressional work
that I have attained in the past
few months may be used in further
ing and safeguarding the interests
of the people of the Second Con.
