VIRGINIA BANKS

Richmond, May G.-Virginia never
had as many banks as it has at the
present time. In the years not far
agone there were TO be found banks
in only the cities and larger towns
Of the state. Now, there are but few
towns or even villages in the state
that do not boast OF one or more banks
and they arc banks that are strong
and capable Of doing the business de-
manded by the communities in which
they are located.
There arc in Virginia today 21S in
corporatcd state banks, with total as
sets of close to S75,OO0,000.00, and
there are $50 national banks in the
state, with total assets amounting to
considerably over $150,00O,0O0.OO.

RICHEsoN HOPEFUL

ted Two Weeks From Today.

BOSTON. Mass. May 1.-TWO weeks
from today. unless his sentence Is
committed, Clarence V. T. Richeson
will be expialed in the eleceric CHAIR
for the murder of his former sweet
heart, Miss Avis Linnell. Accord
ing TO released prisoners who nave
spent time in Charles Street jail
where the ministcr-murdercr has
been confined since his sensational
arrest at the house of his tiancee,
Violet Edmands. Richeson is yet
hopeful that Gov. Foss and the eX-
ecutive council will grant him len
iency for his confessed crime. At
torneys Lee and Morse, council for
Richeson, also are hopeful that their
client will be permitted to spend the
remainder of his life behind bars.
Because of his hopebulness, Rich
eson is said to be in good physical
and mental condition. 1t is almost
certain, the matter of Richeson's plea
for leniency will be acted on this
week. If such action is unfavorable
TO him he will be taken to tho death
cell at Charleston State Prison, on
Thursday.

ject curious story comes from Paris
1t Is said that q number of twenty
franc gold pieces forged In the reign
of Napoleon III. have been found to
be worth at least double their face
value. This is due to the fact that
in the alloy Of which these forged
coins were made platinum was used.
At that time platinum was cheap. A
pound weight of it could be bought for
few sovereigns. The spurious TWEEN
ty-franc pieces contain about six
grammes Of platinum each, and today
these six grammes are worth about
50.

HIGH COST OF LIVING.

Interesting information on the man
ner in which European nations are
combating the high cost of living by
organizing cooperative societies, we're
given in consular reports transmitted
to Congress today by President Taft,
as the second instalmcnt of his for
mer "high cost of living" message.
France and Belgium, the report
saws, have successful organizations
among the workers, where relief
funds arc administered and insurance
against illness and forced non-cm-
ployment is supplied. Southern
France has many cooperative agri-
cultural societies, which, aided by
the government, supply farmers with
machinery, either loaned gratultously'
or purchasable on small payments.
The organizations also buy the crops.
The cooperative system In France
has also resulted in the ownership
of number of industrial plants by
the workers themselves. The report
cites cases at Lyons in particular.
The effect the French cooperative
societies have on prices Of food stufts,
the message says, is almost entirely III
keeping them stable and at d fair fig
ure, seldom being below the prices of
the stores.
In Belgium, however. the cooper
ativc organiza tons sell lower than the
markets, allowing members only to
purchase, and distributing minlmal
profits. Funds arc set aside for IN
snrance. pensions, strike reliefs, etc
This movement. in Belgium, the re,
port states, dates from the growth OF
the socialiStic and labor parties.
Both the Netherlands and Denmark
contain many similar cooperative or
carnations.

HAVING A PURPOSE.

We can well imagine times when the
necessity for applying ourselves II
very real and very stern; when We
can derive but little comfort from our
position, and when we are likely to
pose as martyrs rather than as sol
diers ready for the fray. But all that
comes before the light of reason and
understanding breaks through the
darkness and makes things palmer
than they have ever been. 1t is good
to have an individual purpose In life;
what that purpose Is lies within our
own breasts. We are not all nodded
upon the same pattern, says the
Charleston News and Courier. In
deed, it Is said that there are no two
natures alike and that God in his
goodness decreed that such should be
the case. However, that may be, we
are all in fact his children and are
placed in this world for the one great.
controlling reason of working out our
own salvation. How we are to do this
rests with each one of US personally,
and just to the extent of our realiza-
ton and understanding of that sacred
trust will we make our efforts tell.
To be prepared at all times as far
as it lies within our power Is not the
least important Of the means at our
command, while to leave the future to
take care of itself and to trust to the
spur of necessity for obtaining our
most vital results, however helpful
such results may be on occasion. is
only tempting Providence unneces'
sarily.

Inasmuch as the object of the Vir-
GINA Federation is to work for social

agitating questions; and, lest any mis-
apprehension may arise as to our
endorsement of this or that political
faith or religious creed,
Be it RESOLVED, That although
we accord to each individual member
of our Federation full liberty of opin-
ion, we yet are unalterably opposed to
the Federation, as such, entangEng
itself with any political issue or dis
puted question.
And be it further RESOLVED, That
a committee be appointed to make all
programs for annual meetings COM
posed of the President, three mem
bers of the local club, and the EXccu-

Judge Gordon was born in Nelson
county fifty-seven years ago. His life
commenced at time that gave but
little opportunity for him to acquire
"a diploma from a college of law, and
the knowledge of his profession came
by hard knocks and studious applica-
ton. After being admitted to the
bar and following his profession for
several years, he was elected Common
wealth Attorney for Nelson county,
and for more than fifteen years serv
ed his constituency in an. able manner.
In 1906 he was appointed Circuit
Judge of the 10Th Judicial Circuit Of
Virginia, which includes the counties
of Amherst, Nelson and Fluvanna.
Among the first cases he was called
upon to decide was that of the town
of Lcesburg, which desired to add adj
ditional territory to the city limits.
Territory Desired.
The territory which Alexandria city
desires to take is approximately two
square miles, or more than double its
present area. Starting from the Po-
tomac river to the center of Hunting
Greek on the south the proposed new
boundary line runs west to a point OPP
posite Roberts Lane, in Fairfax coun-
ty. From that point it runs north just
beyond the summit Of Shooters Hill to
Lloyd's Lane in Alexandria county.
Following that road the new boundary
ends in the Potomac, nearly mile
north of the old canal. The addition
al territory includes portion of Vim
egar Hill. West End or Duke street
extended, George Washington Park,
the Union depot and freight sheds Of
the Washington Southern Railway,
Roscmont, Braddock, Braddock lights,
Cottage Park, the Poor House and a
portion of the Potomac railway yards.
The assessed valuation of the prop
erty is approximately $1,000,000, and
the population in this territory is
about 1000.

VETERANS ANNUAL REUNION

The advance guard of the United
Confederate Veterans, who are to
hold their annual reunion in Macon,
Ga, May 6 to 8, made their appear
ance yesterday morning, the carly
trains bringing into town William G..
Pritchard, commander in chief; E. l..
Hyman, general secretary. Nathan
Bedford Forrest, adjutant general,
and Sandy P. Figgat, inspector gen
cral. The veterans Immediately rc-
paired to their hotels, where they took
up the work of revising the program
for the four days reunion.
Every effort will be made by the
citizens of Macon to provide comfort
and pleasure for the visitors. Thous-
ands of homes will be thrown open to
them during their stay in the city, the
local Southern patriotic organizations
will offer extensive entertainment pro
grams and the best rooms in all the
leading hotels will he reserved for the
old soldiers, none of whom is now less
than Sixty-fvc years old.
The influx Of veterans will be fur
Their augmented by a camp of the sons
of the veterans, and it is expected the
coming meeting will be the largest
ever held, for the old soldiers will be
largely accompanied by their sons,
daughters, friends and relatives.
The chief feature for the four day
reunion will be the parade of the vet
Grams and their sons. TO obvlatc the
discomfort attendant upon the march
a change has been made in the usual
program which will render the parade
more short and more effective.
