Opportunity TO Avert Peril.
IF Mr.. Redmond had sold himself body
and soul to the unlueky guidance Of Mr..

frankly to accept and facilitate the con-
ference as the sensible way OF averting
a grave constitutional and social peril
from the three kingdoms.
IF Irelands representatives played the

obstructives Of the conference they would
have an unanswerable case for demand
ing that the same methods OF friendly

A GOOD INVESTMENT
G. B. Moore Thinks Buying of
Real Estate to Rent a
Wise Move.
RENTAL HOUSES NEEDED

AS an investment feature, George B.
Moore, the real estate dealer. who has
his headquarters at $40 Main street.
says that he has found many persons
with small capital who contemplated
building this year. In this way, the
investor can make from I to 10 per
cent and sometimes Il per cent on his
investment. while by loaning the
money the income is perceptibly small

the buying and selling of city proper

NEED ROOMS BADLY
0. G. PortertieId Says There
Are Not Enough Busi-
ness Places.
DEMAND FOR THEM HEAVY

The scarcity of business rooms in
this city is apparent from the number
of inquiries received by real estate
dealers from parties outside the city.
who wish to locate here said o. G..
Porterfield. the real estate dealer who
has his office in the Kelley building.
Firms of various kinds wish TO To-
cate here but as there are no business
rooms in which they can occupy they
go elsewhere. Mr.. Porterfield says
that it probably would be surprising to
know the exact number of inquiries
which We're made during 1909. Just
as many will be made this year
Mr.. Porterfield makes his specially

much interest is manifested on the

EAST EMO A LEADER
George Ball Thinks There Is
More Building in That
Section.
SPEAKS OF TEXAS LANDS

1T is difficult to state which section
of the city is being built up the more
rapidly" said George c. Ball, local
real estate dealer in response to the
question along that line The re-
markable growth of all portions dur
ing the past year has been most graf
flying. However. | believe that the
East end surpasses the others in the
number of homes built. The outlook
for an excellent year in the real estate
business is particularly flattering.''
THE Texas lands are proving very
popular with Richmond people. The
fact that three acres of land can be
purchased in Texas for what one acre
would cost in this county, is worthy
OF consideration and has induced many
local persons to buy land in that state.
The impression is current among some
people that the land in Texas is not
good, but is dry and barren. This,
however. is untrue. The soil there is
as fertile as any in this county and is
equally as good for cultivation

ALL SOUTH RICHMOND
is ENJOYING A BOOM
And During the Present Year
1t Is Expected There Will
Be Many Dwellings Erected
In This Section.

in the city's progress, and Richmond
is entitled to a position in that class
Of cities as there is continuous clam
or for more room
The south side is good illustration.
During the past year there were prob
ably more improvements in that dis
trict than in any other in the city. The
growth of the south side in 1909
promises to be eclipsed.
Principally, the reason for the ex-
lpectation of greater things in the
south side, this year, by real estate
men, is the location of the National Au-
tomato Tool works in Beallview which
will necessitate the construction of
many new buildings. Officials of the
company say that fifty dwellings
would not be too many.
Cause of the Demand.
The National Automatic Tool works
factory has not been opened as yet
owing to the delay in the construction
work of the building. However, with
T.
this city in the next month or SO, it is
expected that at least fifty or sixty
dayton families will move here.
In Beallview ad immediate vicinity
there is not a desirable vacant house
at the present time, nor has there been
Ifor several months. The question is,
where can these Dayton families be
located. and it is for their provision
that the demand for new houses is
made.
J However, Beallview alone is not the
only part of South Richmond which
lis growing Go the length of almost
any street and number of new houses
will be seen. Inquire about the pros
poets of purchasing vacant lots for
|the purpose of building and in large
percentage of the cases it will be
found that the present owner, himself.
has designs along the same lines and
is not overly anxious to sell.

FOR POULTRY FARMS
Many Properties on Outskirts
Of the City Will Be
Bought.
Ed MOORE GIVES VIEWS

J. Ed Moore. the real estate dealer
who has his office over s North Sew
enth street, and who makes a spec
,ialty of farm properties says the bust
ness outlook for 1910 is exceptionally
good and anticipates that there will
be a large number of properties on
the outskirts of the city. sold for the
purpose of converting them into poul-
try farms.
There seems to be a demand for
small places on the outskirts of the
city not only by the citizens but by
others who wish to quit farming so
mp to 200 acres. However, the bust
ness in properties for general farming
purposes promises to be as good dur
ing the year as it ever was and dur
ing 1909 it was very good.
Indications are that Richmond rem
tails will be as good as ever. possibly
better. owing to the acquisition of
new factory blood. In general. the
real estate business during the year is
expected to be as good and possibly
better than during 1909 and there
were few complaints registered as re-
CARDS the business last year.

GOOD YEAR
John E. PeItz Is Optimistic Re-
garding Real Estate
Business.
WILL SURPASS PAST YEAR

Il feel confident that the year 1910
will experience great increase in
respect to the real estate business
over the past year." said John E..
Peltz. we'll known local real estate
dealer. Continuing he said. although
the pear 1909 was an excellent one
and witnessed the erection of many
homes, | believe that this present
year will eclipse all others in this re-
gard. The fact that the factories have
announced that they will employ more
men in the spring will bring a large
number of laborers to this city and
they must have homes. Small resi-
dences are in great demand for this
class of citizens and the erection of a
number to rent for $40 to $12 month
would be splendid investment

WILLIAM T. STEAD.

London, Jan. 1.-THE first days
pollings, as had been expected. are
decisive. Liberal majority in the next
parliament will be at least two hun
dred and may be go. AS far as re-
suits go il is all over but Ne shout
ing
There We're 81 liberal seats at stake
this morning and II conservatives. II
the Conservatives were to wine out
the Liberal majority they ought to
have won IS Liberal seats and kept
all their own. AS il is they have
lost four seats and only won is. II
they cannot do better than this at sub
sequent pollings they will be in the
minority by 200 when the polls close.
The Specification of this disaster is
only manifest when the result is ex-
amined in detail. The Liberals held
their own in the north, notably. Lam
cashire, which is the backbone of the
free trade majority. They have won
seats in Darlington and Grmsby.
They have lost a seat at Stalybridge,
which usually voted conservative.
i HIS Is Only III the Lancashire scat
wherein the majority has not voted
for the budget against the peers. Two
Liberal votes were thrown away by
splitting the vote between the Labor
and Liberal candidates in Manches-
ter. The seat lost by Winston Church
i'll on the bye election was recaptured.
Every constituency in Manchester
and Stafford cast heavy majority
against tariff reform. The Unionist
success is confined to the Birming-
ham district and small boroughs in
South England, where the influence of
the saloon keepers was strong.
There is only one exception, that
of the Davenport naval dockyard.
where the Liberals lost two seats.
There is not time for me to COM
