THE CAPITAL CITY,

Richmond is beautiful and prosper
GUS city, and is getting more beautiful
and more prosperous every day. Yet
the city government is much more lax
and careless than it should be. Pro-
fessional beggers infest the Office build
ings and the streets. Servants during
business hours are permitted to sweep
the streets and sweep dust into the
faces and upon the clothes of the pass-
ersby. Automobiles are subjected to
very little effective restraint. The city
is governed by committees of the Coun-
ell IN such way that there is no real
responsibility resting upon anyone for
the proper administration of municipal
affairs. Richmond has ceased to be a
village and has become a city full of
possibilities and beauty and usefulness.

All over this section and over the en-
tire country for that matter the high
prices of mules and horses have been
much commented upon during the pres
ent spring. A good pair of mules cost
twice the money now that they could
have been secured for twelve or fifteen
years ago. In the face of this situa-
ton one cannot help but wonder whv
more horses and mules are not raised in
this section. There is hardly farm in
Iazewell county for instance that could
not produce with very little more ex-
pense much larger amount of hav and

with this extra feed stuff it would be
an easy matter to rear one or two or

of the farm of course. OF course there

State Aid For Roads in Ninth,

Apportionment of the State good road
fund among the counties was announced
on Thursday of last week by Highway
Commissioners P. st. Julien Wilson. By
the terms of the appropriation bill of
the last legislature, the sum Of $500. 900
is given this year for State money aid

the past fiscal year, which ended March

which all counties share alike, including
those which use convict labor.
Seven of the 100 counties in VIRGINIA
failed to make application for State aid
for road building this year. Most of
these have never used any part of this
money, a condition of which is that a
similar amount must be paid by the
county toward permanent Improvement.

which have not desired the money are:
Buchanan, Gloucester, Greene. Math-

Thirteen counties have applied for

these will be accommodated. The COM

BETTER SCHOOLS AND BETTER ROADS.

There has been a very noticeable in
crease in sentiment during the past
year or two, and especially during the
past few months, for better and longer
term schools and better roads in this
section, and for the matter Of that the
State. The people have begun to real
ize something of the real value of good
roads and of good schools, and which, as
our readers know, are two of the three
hobbies of this paper.
Good roads easily double the value of
farming lands. This has been demon
strsted in every place in which modern
highways have been built. And not
only do the good roads double the mar
ket price of lands, but they greatly In
crease the value of the products of the
soil. In remote sections the trans
portation of the product to market is
quite considerable portion of the ex-
pense of PROCURING the crop. In fact,
many farm products for which there ia
a market never reach market for the
simple reason that the cost of transpor-
tation is so great that they are not
marketed at all.
Schools stand for an intelligent citi-
zenship, progressiveness and happy
homes. Good schools linked with good
roads and intelligent farming methods
will stop the migration of the boys and
girls of the rural sections to the cities
and nothing else will stop them.
