Central Christian Church Bazaar

1t looks as tho the elements had
conspired against the church Baz-
aars. For over a month the
Ladies of the Central Christian
church have advertised their in
tention to open up a three days
Bazaar beginning on Friday the Is.
Week after week the Enterprise
has told the story of their hopes
and fears. The Enterprise is wild
ely read and we suppose the
weather man got hold of tread
about the Bazaars and just for
pervesity pulled the wet weather
string and the heavens began a
down pour on the day OF the
opening of the Bazaar and when
there was a delectable chicken
dinner on tap at that. Now this
sect is not favorable to pouring
or sprinkling but they had to take
it as it comes, and they did SO
quite gracefully and resignedly no
doubt with the hope that Georgia
sunshine would prevail at least On
Monday.
About everything dainty and
useful graces their booths at the
W. r. G. Hall some of those fancy
articles made from material sent
from New York by Mrs. Blake (the
lady who lost her son here) are
something new. If the baptism
of rain has kept you away give

Mr.. J. E. Mercer, ON South Main
St., on Thursday evening, where
Mesdames J. L. McCarty and ID. b.
Jay presided at a reception given
in honor of Mrs. w. W. Sparks, OF
Indiana. Forty-nine guests graced

The house was darkened and
lighted with candles in the silver

green crepe paper, with scores OF
tiny Christmas bells.
Refreshments fit for the gods,
consisted of fruit jelly with whip
ped cream, cake and hot chocolate,
dainty served.
Each of the forty nine guests
carried home as a souvenir the his
torical Teddy Bear, COTTON up IL

coming from the most elite of the
city, gracefully responded to thel'
combined efforts for one OF thu
most pleasant events of their socla

order or Railway Conductors 1eGlJlOH tut
Governor to Use His Good Offices in that
Direction.
The following petition was for
warded last evening to Governor
Swanson by r. E. Lee Division No.
25, of the Order of Railway Con
ductors, representing the railway
lines centering at Norfolk, Ports
mouth and Berkeley:
To His Excellency, Honorable
Claude A. Swanson, Governor
of Virginia:
We, the undersigned Committee,
appointed by the e. E. Lee Divi-
sion No. 2O5, of the Order of Rail
way Conductors at Portsmouth,
Virginia, and representing the
Conductors of all lines of railways
centering at Portsmouth and Berk-
ley, Va, would respectfully re-
quest and urge that you use your
good offices and influence in hay
ing the passenger rates of railways
in the state of Virginia restored to
the schedule of rates in effect prior
to the first day of October, 1907,
when they were changed by an
order of the Railroad Commission.
This request is made not at the
solicitation, or with the knowledge,
of the railways, but in the interest
OF the members of our organization,
who will necessarily be affected ad-
versely by any reduction in the
revenues of the railways by which
we are employed, inasmuch as our
compensation, and certainly any
increase in wages, is dependent
absolutely upon the earning capac-
ity of the railways.
And for the further reason, that
from our observation and expert
ence as railway conductors in
handling the passenger business of
said railways, we are of the opin.
ion that at the present rates the
railways Of Virginia cannot earn a
fair and equitable remuneration or
profit upon the cost incident to
maintaining tirst-class passenger
service. ..
The majority of the undersigned
Committee are employed by said
railways as passenger conductors,
and in such capacity necessarily
come in contact with the travelling
public. From conversations with
those who are frequently passen-
gers upon our trains, we are OF the
opinion that the majority of said
passengers are not in favor of the
present reduction in rates for the
reason that the travelling public
would prefer to pay a higher rate
for good service than a lower rate
for poor and inadequate service,
and your Committee believes that
it will be impossible for the rail-
WAYS to maintain under present
conditions the service heretofore
rendered, much less to improve
the same.
In conclusion, your Committee
desires to call your special atten-
ton to the fact that the employees
of the railways are more adversely
affected by a reduction in rates
than the railways themselves.
This is demonstrated by conditions
at this time existing, and the fact
that the railways are now, in order
to curtail expenses relieving from

It has been stated that the Japan ese question was practically settled and that feature would be incorpor- ated in the immigration bill provid- ing for the exclusion of Japanese from this country on the score of passports and not nationality and leaving the question of issuing pass ports to the Japanese government itself. But a hitch has occurred in the program and some of the large southern interests declare there must be nothing done to curtail the sup ply of cheap labor in this country. It was pointed out on the floor of the house that almost fifth of the spindles in the southern cotton mills were idle because of the scarcity of labor and it was said there would be determined opposition to the immi- grafton bill if it proposed to do any, thing that would further curtail the supply.

An appeal will be made to the present congress for additional facil- ities for the patent office. It is stated that there is $50,O00 needed im- mediately for the rental of extra storage room. The space in the old building is already over crowded and in two months it will be absolutely used up. There are hundreds of thousands of patent copies and speci- fications that are being constantly called for by inventors and attorneys all over the country and the demand for these frequently cannot be SUD- piled, not because the edition is ex- hausted but because the records are so stored that it is impossible to get at the papers when they are wanted. The commissioner of patents and all of the attorneys interested are join- ing in the appeal and it is hoped that the money may be made available at the present session.
