ANDERSON QUESTIONS
COMPETITION THEORY
COUNSEL FOR TRACTION COM
rANY SAYS 1T Is NOT ALWAYS
LIFE or TRADE.

The theory that competition is the
life Of trade IS too generally accept
ed. according to MIR. Henry w. Ander-
son general counsel for the Virginia
Railway and Power Company. In
tha case OF public service corporations.
he SAYS, broader experience has shown
that such competition, so far from
being beneficial TO community. Is
destructive of its best interests.
In private business enterprises, he
comedies that competition Is decidedly
beneficial to the people and the pro-
motion of trade, the owner or operator
being at liberty to retire at any time,
but in the case of corporations OF a
public and quasi public nature. operat-
ing under franchises granted by tho
state or municipality, the company
could not retire. even thought its
business was conducted at a loss. The
modern idea OF public control over
corporations. he believes, tends to
guarantee adequate service at reason
able rates.
Mr.. Anderson expressed these views
at the meeting of the council COM
mittee on streets Thursday night
when argument was heard and closed
on the proposed franchise for operat-
ing a system of poles. wires and con-
duits. in the streets OF the city by the
Richmond Power Corporation for the

widely known Virginia family. has
just returned to his home at Itch
field, KY. after a visit Of two weeks
to relatives and friends in Virginia.
During this time he attended a re-
union of the members of the family
at the home of Colonel Elisha Belts,
an older brother and gallant Con-
federate, in Mecklenburg county. or
the seven Belts brothers six are still
living. and were present at the re-
union. Colonel George Belts. who
served under General Fitz Lee. was
killed at kelly's Ford while leading
a cavalry charge. There are seven
sisters in this interesting family.
These have r. reunion each year, The
last one was held at the home of Mrs.
Alice Lewis. wife of Professor s. w.
Lewis, at Society Hill s. c.
Rev. DR.. George ". Beale, a friend
of the family, recently wrote the fol-
lowing sketch OF the Belts family;
The immigrant ancestor OF this
family in Virginia was william Belts,
nj Northum berlsnd county, who died
there In 1885, leaving two sons Will
liam and Charles. both of whom had
apparently reached their majority
when their fathers death was ie-
ported in court.

beth, Jonathan and Hannah.
From the eldest son OF Charles and

down to the present day. From

held place through all the generations
since.
Jonathan. third son OF Charles and
Mary, married Anne Nelms, and left
two daughters. This union between
two early families was not destined
to be the last. A prominent repre-
sentative OF the Belts name of the
pas. generation was John u. Brtts. a
merchant and planter of Heathsyflle,
who married Catherine Nelms. Their
children were seven, all but two OF
whom survive and dwell near the
place of their birth. OF the two
who died, one was Captain Edin

who commanded the Fortieth Virginia
Infantry at Charlottesville and later

county. The other was Charles n
