1t is a matter Of common knowledge
that ministerial material is not SO
plentiful as IT used 10 be. Our theo-
logical aeminaSies are not overcrowded,
One of the most aggressive denomina-
slons has issued statement recently
dsclasing that for 1o,ol1 churches it
has. only a,O7a pastors. This means
that there are sss churches which
either have no pastors ore are forced
to share with some other church their

The colored People in the PARIS.

The CoIored People in the PARKS.
To the Editor of Tho Tlmes-Dispatch:
Sir--As citizen OF Richmond. please
allow me space for word In regard
to the Blake resolution now before
the Committee on Buildings and
Grounds.
Parks are made to beautify city,
and for the benefit of the class OF peo
pie who do not enjoy the comforts OF
an ideal home. In large cities. as a
rule. tho parks are hlled with the
welcome to take nap: but In our city
the parks are used for a grander and
nobIcr purpose.
1t will be disgrace to this city. as
city. to have signs or barriers to
separate the races. as the number OF
negroes who visit parks is not so
great as to justify such discrimination:
and Furthermore. II at any time tho
idle and shiftless ones should seem to
rnonopol!ze the space. then let the park
policeman do hts duty: we pay him
for f.
Personally speaking. the parks do
not benefit me nor my family; but as
a taxpayer and one who Is proud OF
this city and as one trying TO produce
something to uphold and maintain the
dignity OF my race, ask for a square
deal
When our friends visit this city they
leave with good VIII towards US, as
VIC spare neither money nor time In
making 1t pleasant for them; but II
such LAWS enacted, for one win be
ashamed TO admit that l am citizen.
we care nothing for such private
grounds as Lakeside. lakewood or For
est Hill Park, because we do not have
to give them our money; but when
city that is supported by It's citi-
zens white and black, enacts such
la, w, 1t is sin and a step backward.
II that resolution becomes q law
1t will be the limit. and no self-re-
under such restrictions. 1t Will be
better to have signs: mo Negroes AL

THla GREATEsT FAIR.

Next MoHGay Week the Gith annual
State Fair will open In Richmond, and
to 1t will come exhibitors and sight
seers from everywhere. A more re-
markable achievement than that made
by the State Fair Of Virginia in the
same length Of time will be difficult
to recall. Starting undor adverse con-
ditions, with grounds that had to be
cleared, laid out ditched and drained
between March and October the Fair
was yet enabled, under the aggressive
and Intelligent management of its first
president, the Hon. Henry c.. Stuart,
and the Board of Directors. to make a
showing at its opening that was not
only creditable but astounding.
To-day the Virginia State Fair is
raco gnized as the best horse and cattle
fair south Of Toronto. In search of Its
prentums, entries will be sent from
tho North, West. East and South I
Prize winning horses, great cattle
herds will be shown here, prize hogs
and sheep from all over the country
VIII compete for the Virginia ribbons.
This ssccess is not only due to the
intelligent and forceful work on the
part Of the managers of the Fair, but
also very largely to the fact that the
basic Idea of the Virginia State Fair
Association. and the men who brought
1t into being, was not to make 1t
place for side shows and hurdy-gur-
dies, but to use the great oppor-
tunities offered by such an occasion to
develop the agricultural and manufao-
turing resources of Virginia.
The fact that last year the Virginia
State Fair Association had corn ex-
hibit that inspired every farmer In
Virginia to better efforts would OF
itself alone abundantly justify the
labor and thought that has been ex-
pended upon this enterprise.
But it is not only in corn and to-
bacco and small fruits that the Fail
has served tho State. It has increaset
the standard of live stock; 1t has
added measurably and greatly to the
welfare and wealth OF the farmers ii
has ENCOURAGED and inspired many t.
larger and more generous dealing
with their surroundings; it has set VI
beacon light to show both the city
y dwellers ana farmers what possibilities
Virginia held; and the reflex OF this
cotton has been profoundly beneficial
W, Cyofa of
In addition to the features that
have made previous Fairs so success
full. this year the Virginia State Fail
Association Will have a spacious and
splendid brick building for the accom-
mediation Of permanent displays, where
exhibits can be made that were diff
