NEW BUILDINGS

Fredericksburg is distinctly fOrtu-
nate at this time in the matter Of
new and handsome buildings being
and to be erected. We have long
wanted a new railroad station in
in this city and the r. F. &. P. real
izing the force of this want, which
is in reality a necessity, is not only
preparing to building new passen-
ger depot, but also one for its rapid
lily increasing freight shipments to
and from this point.
The passenger depot will, we un-
derstand, be very handsome and will
meet every requirement Of a city
this size. Best of all its construc-
ton will result in many needed i'm
provements in the railroad neigh
borhood between Main and Princess
Anne streets.
The public building which the
government is erecting here
has already been commenced
and will add much to the architee-
ture of the city. Its building will
likewise cause other improvements,
especially the paving and grading of
Hanover street between Main and
Princess Anne, which has long been
insisted on by residents of upper
Hanover and others using this block.
We have already had occasion to
refer to the splendid structures to
be built on the Normal School
grounds, which will be followed each
year by others, and which will bring
about the extension of the Corpora
ton towards Rowe's hill and mean
the development of beautiful build
ing sites.
The new public school building
meets every need of public schools,
and by reason of the enlargement of
our schools, due to its construction,
many families have moved into our
midst for the purpose of educating
their children.
We take it for granted that in a
short time plans will be prepared for
the proposed Masonic Temple, a
splendid fund for which is already in
the hands of Mr.. Clearance R. Howard,
who has worked day in and day out
to raise the necessary money.
Many private buildings are being
erected in addition to the public or
semi-public ones referred to above,
and things along this line look par
ticularly encouraging.

PRESIDENT WAS KEPT
BUSY At NORFOLK

As q guest of the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways Association and to accept
again the hospitality Of the people Of
the Old Dominion, President Taft went
to Norfolk Friday, reviewed a military
and naval parade, made two speeches
in which he bespoke his interest in a
practical system of waterway improve
ment to be carried forward on BUSH
ness-like basis, and not merely as a
means Of distributing patronage; partook
of q Lynn Haven oyster roast under the
shadows of the towering Cape Henry
lighthouse, and attended a smoker in
honor Of a large corps of visiting news
paper men,
The President retired Friday night
on board the naval yacht Mayfower,
on which be made the journey from
Washington to Norfolk. The Mayfow-
er remained at anchor in Norfolk harbor
until Saturday morning, when the trip
was made to Hampton, where the Pres
ident attended q meeting Of the board
Of trustees Of the Hampton Normal In
stitute, Of which be Is member. In
the afternoon he delivered an address
TO the colored students OF the institute
and then sailed for Warrington.

men that any one who asks for a few
million dollars to improve waterways
or ANYTHING else has got TO show the
government. and particularly congress-
that he has good case" The presi-
dent declared he would earnestly sup
port any project which could prove its
practicability and worth and which
would rebound to the general good.
When he came back to Norfolk from
the oyster roast, the president went
over the Clint" with Mrs. Taft and
took dinner at the home Of Fergus
Reid. Governor Swanson. of Virginia;
Andrew Carnegie and other prominent
waterways persons were among the
guests. Afterward the president drop
ped in at the Monticello hotel to look
at the monster smoker which the wa
terways association gave for the dele
gates and newspaper men.
When the president rose to speak
he had difficulty in making the crowd
listen. Mr.. Taft spoke briefly on wa
terways and other things.

You've got TO show that your project

"T don't agree with my friend Can

use OF deeper waterways when they
were only a biscuit throw from the
ocean. But he's from Illinois, and
guess that accounts for that. They
haven't any deep waterways out
there" q

to see. after travelling some $4,000

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER %, 100!
THE NORMAL SCHOOL

Breaking ground for the State
Normal and Industrial School at
fredericksburg, which will take
place about the 18th of December
will mark a new era in the history
of the old Burg. There have been
many difficulties for the board OF
trustees TO surmount before the
work of construction could actually
begin. LIST, the inability of Freder-
icksburg to put up the S2O,OOo
pledged by the city on account Of a
lack of legislative authority. which
was finally overcome by a number OF
public spirited citizens who raised
the money pending legislative au-
thority. End, the difficulty in OBJ
tanning a suitable site at reasonable
cost, and last. the difficulty in secur-
ing title to some lots adjoining the
original purchase of Rowe's hill,
which were necessary in order to
make the location altogether salts
factory. There was an immense
amount of legal work in connection
with these transactions and much
labor was put upon the local MEM
bers of the board and especially
upon Mr.. E. H. Russell. president
of the school, whose untiring energy
has so materially helped to remove
obstacles and bring the work into
shape for real progress. The con-
struction of three buildings will now
be pushed rapidly and it is hoped
that a real substantial appropriation
will be obtained from the next Leg
islature in order that the neucleus
for a school may be erected which
will be credit to this section and
the whole State. The erection Of
this school will be great thing for
Fredericksburg. 1t will stimulate
business. 1t will bring us a most
desirable citizenship in teachers and
students, and it will be an institution
of local pride with its success assured
under the management of the eff
Gent hands of Mr.. Russell, whom
the board of trustees so wisely, in
our judgment, selected as its execu-
tive head.
