Inc ansual report OF safe AuoiIor
Marye has been issued, covering matters
STATISTICAL for The year ending September
80, 1906.
The report shows that the negroes own
lese than one twenty fifth OF the real es
tate of the State, the actual figures being;
Whites, 25, 500, 1911; colored, 1900, 42o'
while the value OF the holdings Is rela-
tiyely smaller than the acreage, the re-
port showing that the whites have to pay
on valuation of 1861, 698, 1926 and the
blacks on sl7.27s,94S. The foregoing
applies strictly to real estate and includes
all properties owned by whites and blacks
in the countries az we'll as in the cities'
When it comes 10 personal properly,
which includes everything taxable that Is
not listed IS real property, the negroes
make q relatively better showing toau
thew do in the matter or real estate. Inc
whites own slSl, 774,4l6. while the
blacks are held to account for s., $685.
O46. This showing is due TO the isc'
that the negroes own horses in the
country and other personal property IN
the cities making the showing much
better.
After paying all obligations-inelud-.
ing schools, pensions to the amount OF
5000 600. interest on the public debt
mot vet duel, all salaries, for immense
sums for improvements to the State Cap
itol building, increased appropriations
for the educational institutions and many
other purposes. the State had cash d.
lance on hand October /, 1906, OF more
than 5000, 900, showing with what care
and accuracy he, financial affairs are be-
ing managed.
This year (l907) the revenues OF the
State will be much larger than at any
time in her history and there will be no
drain on the treasury like that Of the last
year, when many emergency calls were
needed and the States money spent Law
isbly. -,
1t is the belief of men familiar with
the affairs of the State that within a year
or two the tax rate can be considerably
lowered and the revenue still further In
creased, the corporations paying more
now than since the "charter bilP' began
to operate. The State is in better con-
dition at this time than she has been dur
ing the last fifty years.

The Parish Hall of Christ Church was

dience which had gathered under the au-
spices of zine Forward Movement Of
the Sunday school of that church to
hear the address of Hon. John Lamb,
member Of Congress from the Sd district
of Virginia. The audience was COM

friends and all present were greatly

was interts ing, instructive and enter.

by old and young alike.

The Two-Cent Rate.

When the Virginia State Corporation
Commission met in Richmond yesterday
in the two-cent passenger rate hearing,
representatives Of the Sesboard Air Line
Bsilroad Company we're called to show
cause, if any, why that road should
not adopt the two.cent rate in Virgins.
Attorney f. Randolph Williams, counsel
for the road, fled documentary evidence
regarding rates and tariffs L. B. Ryan,
general passenger agent Of the road, was
then called to the witness stand. Prac-
ticslly all Of Mr.. Ryan's evidence was
along the lines of the operation of the
passenger business compared with the
operation of the same business over
other roads in Virginia aud in the United
States at large. Some time was taken
in describing the natural conditions and
aspects Of the country through which
the Seaboard Air Line runs in this
State, and in drawing certain conc!u-
sions from these conditions. Most OF
the evidence was of a technical nature.
An echo of Virginia's fight to main
tain her supremacy in the control OF the
affairs of the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac Railway was heard when
the State board of proxies filed its report
with the corporation commission. One
of the most novel features embodied in
the paper Is the memorandum of Judge
A. l.. Holiday, chairman Of the State
board of proxies, setting forth his rea'
sons for not uniting with bis colleague:
in voting for VIM. H. White as presi-
dent of the road.

White Sugar.


Pure white sugsr that has been in use
80 long is 10 be put out of commission by
the new pure-food law. All the
grocers still have the snowy white srti-
Gle for sale, but it will have to be chang.
cd before long unless the pure. food law
is changed. Yellow sugar without
adulteration or the whitening process
will take the place Of the delicious,
beautifully colored pure white sugar.
The re6neB and chemists and the
grocerymen are much disturbed over the
action of the pure-food law, and perhaps
some housewives may share their feel
ings. But Uncle Sam will have his way,
nevertheless. Sugar chemists say that
four pounds of "bluing substance are used
to every 1000 pounds Of sugar for bleach.
ing purposes. They say that this is not
adul:eration that it is merely puriiica-
ton by thoroughly healthful process.
But Uncle Sam looks at the bleached
sugar from different point Of view.
And 30 does the commission.
The pure-food commission does not
agree With the chemist, aud insists that
the whitening process be abandoned.
When this is done, all sugar refined un-
der the commissioners new directions
will be Of distinctly yellow shade.
Owing to the new law, Americans sugar
will resume the color Of years ago which
was on the market when tho old men
of the present age were boys, for the
"pure white" has been handed lemon,
big and sour.
