Interesting Letter.
SHOULD HAVE RECOGNITION
Calls Attention to the Fact That
Virginia Has More Hunt
Clubs Than Any Other State.

Petersburg. Va! Feb. 19th.
Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Dear Sir,-The account In your recent
issue OF the recognized hunts Of Americn
and the hunts of Virginia, recognized ana
unrecognized. Is Of much interest to al.
one third OF all the recognized hunts IN
the country are in this; State, and that
there are numerous others that could put
up strong bid for recognition.
Under these circuinstanceslit4 would aP =
pear to be very much to the general ad-
bers OF the hunt committee of the MAJ
tionaI Steeplechase and Hunt Associa ton
were Representative Virginian; it would
undoubtedly very much tighten the work
OF the committee. as the latter would
then have among It's own members much
valuable knowledge Of localities and con-
ditions that It at present has to obtain
of considerable trouble. II trust that your
efforts in the cause of sport will have the
success thew deserve, and will arouse the
landowners of this part OF the State to
n realization of the very valuable asset.
that OF game, that they have hitherto not
only neglected, but allowed to be wan
tonly destroyed by any pot-hunter, white Or
colored, who can buy, beg, borrow or steal
a cur dog or three feet OF gas pipe and
a few cartridges. If they would make a
serious effort to stop all such destruc-.
ton and to encourage legitimate sport
ways, which do more to make country
life attractive to people of means than
anything else, they would very quickly
reap q; substantial reward. Virginia.

Tidings from all the college and
university centers tell Of the arrival
of husky squads of students who are
losing no time in getting down to
preliminary practice for the great
game. The regular college and uni
varsity year will not open until the
middle Of next week, as rule, but
the aspirants for honors on the grid
iron are no laggards. The other
features of the curriculum will re-
ceive due attention later on, after
the bell rings. Meanwhile, the large
number Of early arrivals gives ample
assurance that there is no abatement

MORE WRECKS ON THE GEoR-
GIA.


Despite The Herald's warning it
seems as if the wreck epidemic is
about to break out once more on the
Georgia railroad. The performance
Of Engine No. A, one Of the new en-
gines, too, we believe, in running off
twice at the same place, seems to
give clue as to just what the trou-
BILE is.
Is it with the engine or is it with
the trackq If it is with the engine,
then why should it run off just at this
one point rather than any other par
ticular point on the roadq If it is
with the track why should not other
engines run off at the same point,
as well as engine No. 4? If again
there is trouble with engine No. 4,
what about other engines Of the same
make and type that the road is US
ingf
At any rate, both the engines and
the track ought to be given a thor
Ough overhauling. Every precaution
ought to be taken to prevent another
series of wrecks on the Georgia again
this season if it is possible to do SO.
We understand that a more vigor-
Gus campaign this year is going to be
inaugurated against the wreck germ
on the Georgia than was Undertaken
Last year, and this time by the man
agement itself.
We understand that, for one thing
engine No. 4 has been withdraw from
active service, and that its running
parts are being carefully stored
away, doubtless with view of hav-
ing the builders of this particular
locomotive come down and make a
real expert examination In the effort
to determine whether or not it is the
fault Of the engine. Might it not be
just as well to have the rack and
road bed and rails and ballast, etc.,
examined, overhauled and reinforced
wherever it is neededq Let's make
good job of it while we are at it this
time, and put the old Georgia back
into the splendid, safe condition that
it was In formerly.
Despite the protests of the officials
the road cannot be safe and in con-
dition with all these wrecks constant
ly occurring, but it can be made so,
with the proper expenditure Of time
and money and men to do it. And
that s what ought to be done at the
earliest practicable moment.-Augus-

THE PoPUL1sTs NOT TO BLAME.

Hon. John III. James, Atlanta 3
veteran fnancier, presents what may
be termed redhot communication in
another part of this paper.
Taking issue with the greatly in
creased expenses of the railroad COM
mission, with the additional salaries
fixed by the last legislature and the
numerical increase Of the commission,
he says it is all wrong and that the
time has come to "about face," for
"a man needs a guardian If he buys
stock in a railroad or helps to build
one in Georgia now."
But Mr.. James is wrong in his ref
erence to the increased expenses of
the commission being partially at
tributable to the fact that somebody
who was a good trader bought the en-
tire populist party for this small en-
ployment.
No man in the state more literally
opposed the increase in the expenses
of and the addition to the member
ship of the railroad commission than
Hon. Thomas E. Watson. He warned
the Legislature time and again that
the whole proposition was loaded at
both ends and In the middle, and that
the state had no business to create
unnecessary Offices with fat salaries
to pay political debts. So potent was
Mr.. Watson's s argument that this fea-
ture of the railroad bill, which had
overwhelmingly passed the house, was
at first voted down by the senate.
The proposed increase Of the COM
mission from three to FIVE over Mr..
Watson's protest was finally made
direct issue in the senate, as between
Mr.. Watson and the administration,
and by change of one vote the SEN
ate reversed its position of approval
of Mr.. Watson S position and author
lied the increase.
So let us not do our populist friends
an injustice and blame them for a
thing for which they are in no wise
responsible.-Atlanta Constitution.
