no man worth while arbltrates with the be-

sincerely working for the cause of temperance.

PEOPLES FORUM
Like Getting Money Fro

Editor Richmond Nirginian
Sir,-As Il natiVe-born Richmonder who
lived the first twenty-fOur years of his life in
the city of his nativity. I must confess TO
considerable surprise and asto nishment
at the slowness Of the Richmond business men
to subscribe the $4,000 asked for by Mr..
Charming Ward for the purpose of building the
proposed Northern Neck railroad. Surely the
Richmond public cannot understand Mr.. Wards
proposition. He is not asking them to donate
any money; he is simply asking for stock SUBJ
scriptions these subscriptions to be paid after
the railroad has been completed. To those of
us who Know something even about the fer
tility and resources of the Northern Neck of
Virginia. this proposition seems easy as
getting money from home" The five counties
between the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers
make up the garden spot of Virginia. A
railroad running from Richmond and tapping
this splendid section would very soon pay hand
some dividends.
For two years stationed as Methodist
preacher in the Northern Neck and before that
time as the travelling salesman OF Richmond
manufacturing establishment l travelled that
section for two successive summers. Hence
think l have some right to be heard on the
advantages OF the proposed railroad.
Nearly all OF the business of the Northern
Neck naturally goes to Washington Baltimore
or fredericksburg on account of convenient
transportation facilities Richmond. though
not more than seventy-flve miles distant in an
AIR line, gets parativey little of this trade
though the Stephen. Pntner Shoe Company the
Richmond Stove Company. and the Southern
Stove Works do considera bic business there
and perhaps some other Richmond concerns
ms business is done in spite of inconventent
transportation facilities and higher freight rates
| feel sure that the merchants of the Northern
Neck would prefer to do business In the CAPITAL
CITY or the state other things being equal
The sod Of this seetos Ss~ very fertile ana pros
ductNe. and railroad. | honestly believe
would make this part OF our State progress
by leaps and bounds.
The people Of this section are Of The pures,
English strain, and let us not forget that three
OF our presidents were born on the soil Of thf
Northern Neck. There are the ancestral
MONIES OF the Washingtons and the Lees and
no part OF our State is freer from foreign adj
mixture than this delightful country
