william Jennings Bryan is a man
OF convictions. His honesty has
never been questioned. He has i'm
pressed his convictions upon the
people, not by dictation, but by ar
gument and reason, appealing to
their conscience and judgment.
He stands for tariff reform; for
the election OF United States sena-
tors by vote of the people: he
favors an income tax. He attacked
trusts when the Republican leaders
denied the existence OF trusts. He
advocated railroad regulation and
penalties against rebates and dis
elimination before the question was
ever raised in the ranks OF the Re.

Ing tho district bond issue that Is ere
long to be voted upon in this magis-
fsterial district
The amount to be asked for is yet to
be settled. Some are In favor of ask
ing for small issue of bonds for a
starter. the idea being to build five
miles OF macadam roads in four direc-
tions out OF Chase City as sample to
let the people see for themselves the
blessings OF good roads. after which
1t Is apprehended there will be no sort
OF difficulty about getting all the
money needed for carrying on the
work for many years to come. and thus
by degrees the whole county Will in
time become network OF first-class
macadam roads. Others are In favor Of
asking for bond issue OF at least
$1,000 to start with. They believe 1t
is Just as easy to carry the district
for that amount as 1t Is for smaller
amount and they say "a bird in the

MANY NEW HOMES GOING UP

| Whatever may BIO said OF the real
estate situation and the midsummer
dizziness that may or may not be pre-
vAiling IN that realm, there Is In Rich
mond no curtallment OF the building
boom.
Probably there is nothing new to
report. Houses are not built In n day,
and when they are started there Is
nothing new to be said about them
until they are finished and ready for
occupancy. 1t Is sufficient to know
that there is no perceptible cessation
OF the building boom except that tho
natural cutting down OF building forces
and the reduction OF effort that comes
with a summer vacation season. now
very well at hand, create dullness
to be expected.
Suburbs Make Up Average.
The builders Of homes In the city
proper may be very particular. to take
advantage of the summer lny-off and
curtail building operations to GER
tain extent, but the suburban builder,
who enjoys, and whose workmen also
enjoy. the breezes that come up. from
the valleys and down from the hills
and the mountains do not regard the
summer dullness with any feelings OF
alarm. 1t thus comes about that what
ever the city artisan may be up
against, the urban folks are still busy.
In Barton Heights. Highland Park.
Chestnut Hill, Ginter Park, and in
other suburbs, the sound OF the ham
mer and the grinding OF the saw Is as
present as the sweet song OF the

terfield as far as Forest Fill. business
operations know no cessation. A gen
tleman who lives at Forest Hill yester-
day told The Times-D lspatch man that
there never was greater activity on
the hill than now. He said eight
homes are being erected. and six OF
them are costly brick buildings. He
also said the Forest Killers are in dead
