!. Fire Protection

In speaking OF the recent fire III South
Boston, tho News says that the calamity,
brings with It important lessons which
the town council should heed I'VE need
better facilities for the protection Of
property from fire. says our contempor-
airy. "and an opportunity is afforded for
widening some OF our streets and thus
prevent congestion during the busy sea-
son." "a =
No town can afford to be without ade-
auate protection against fire. It costs
money to keep UP q fire department, but
with a Hrst-class equipment and scientific
precautions generally there is an imn1e-
date saving in the insurance rate. Buff
there were no saving in this direction It
would be wise to take NIL possible pre-
caution against destruction by fire. 1t
is rarely that the insurance covers the
actual loss. to say nothing ofathe greater
loss sustained by the interruption OF bust
hess. South Boston and all other towns
in Virginia should take warning.

"A Singular Endorsement.

Z, During a recent address made by Judge
w. r. Hammond before the students Of
the Georgia State College for Negro
Youths. the speaker said that for forty
years negroes had possessed the right
OF suffrage. but had not exercised 1t.
He then went on to speak of the Fifteenth
Amendment, which, he said. was con-
ceived III error and had accomplished no
good. He proposed that 1t be repealed
d and the right of suffrage Withdrawn
from the negro, the matter being left
to the sovereignty of the several States,
adding that as the negro advanced to
condition qualifying him for the fran
3chise, the right TO vote should be ac-
corded. Strangely enough, this declara-
tion was heartily applauded by the negro
students.
The Fifteenth Amendment is n dead
letter. because It Is now generally recog-
nized as a stupendous blunder. The
people ought to have the courage and
honesty to repeal 1t, and 1t is not sur
prising that educated negroes should ap-
piaud such proposal. The plan pro.
posed by Judge Hammond would certainly
enure TO the good of tho better class OF
negroes. @ Il

Richmond's Medical Schools,

Years ago. when Richmond was some
thing OF provincial city. there grew
up a great rivalry between two eminent
surgeons. FromIta new college sprung
into existence It created factions-fac-
tons almost. amounting 20 feuds. II has
for years destroyed the opportunity TO
build up a great, medical college IN the
South. IT is strange how learned mem
bers Of learned profession could have.
allowed themselves to become involved
and used in this way We notice that
an effort is now being made to merge
these two colleges. Ono of the lea ding
papers and ono of the leading do-tors
say that II everybody will keep right
still and say nothing the work Will be
accomplished We venture in to remark
that these colleges are not made up N
Richmond. but from the patronage they
get from all over Virginia and North
Carolina. and It can do no harm, but
help them, to know how people away
and on the outside feel and think about
3it-these know that Richmond can't slls-
tain two first class medical INSTITUTE
It looks small and provlncial that the
profession in Richmond have not been
able to dlvest themselves OF their col.
lars and get together and build Up q
great medical college at Rlchmon No.

Roa11oke's Wisdom.

Roanoke Is beginning to advertise her
progress, her prosperity and her oppor-
5tunitics. In 1850 Roanoke was a village
OF GOO people; -day, 1t has q popula-S
ton Of 10000. Within one year" says
The Times, Roanoke will have paved
streets and a sewerage system which will
equal that OF any city IN the south,. and
with the completion Of the Roanoke water
power plant an additional supply Of cheap
power will be furnished that will prove
most attractive to those who are seeking
locations for any kind OF Industries.
Roanoke Is known by name in all parts
Of tho country, but Its peculiar advaDt
tages are not and according to all rules
Of business 1T would be. wise to 1 adver-
tise thcm far ana wide. A Richmond
merchant. who was one az the largest
advertisers in the city, once remarked
that he did not need to advertise the
name OF his store, for 1t was well known,
but that he did need toadvertlse every
day the special attractions OF his store, his
new goods and his bargains. In order to
attract custom. II that be wise policy
for a merchant, it Is also wise policy
for a city. " ssi i
