RICHMOND'S BIG
CANDY FACTORY
Gentleman From Missouri Shown
Richmond's Greatness as Best
of Distributing Points.

one OF the most interesting charters
granted last week by the State Cor
poration Commission was the one
winch Incorporated the Westmoreland
Candy Company. of Richmond. The
incorporation OF this company simply
means that Richmond is to have one
OF the largest candy factories in all
the South. factory that will make
all the staple candies and all of the
Sh-srade package and fancy boxed
goods to sell al! over the South and
all over the country. The Westmorc-
land company has already absorbed
the l. IL. iiardcsty Company, and will
soon commence operations at the old
stand OF the absorbed company ON
seventeenth Street.
the company has ample capital to
do the business in all of its details
ana varieties, ana 10 meet all of the
requirements Of the countrywide
trade they expect TO build up.
Grover Cleveland Dula, the presi-
dent of the company, is man of large
experience In the business. He was
on the lookout for proper location
FOR the candy making business on a
very large scale, and he was invited
TO Richmond. Many copies of the In
dGslrial Section o. The Times Dispat ch
were sent MIN. and in one way and
another he became very much stuck
on Richmond, but Mr.. Dula halls from
the town of Wcntzvillc, in the State

shown Richmond. He reached the
conclusion. as do all good business
men who look into the matter, that
, Richmond has more advantages as q
distributing point than any city in all
the South. Its location and it's rail
way and steamboat facilities make it
so. Mr.. Dula says he can ship the
products OF great candy factory to
more points over larger territory

In quicker time from Richmond than
from any city he has visited. and he
has been to quite Il number in his

But little has been heard OF late
about the proposition 10 drain the

ties. The subject was a pretty live
one last summer when the engineers
of the United states government We're

ing estimates OF the cost Of making
those lands valuable. Perhaps u
little information concerning the good
work along this line that IS being
done in other parts Will interest Tie
people who own or want to own these
Chlckahominy Swamps. | learn from
an exchange that extensive plans for
the effective drainage OF more than
10000 acres OF land in Meckienbu.g

valuable farms and including lands in
the vicinity OF Charlotte. y. o. haze
30 far bean executed that four miles
OF the drainage system is now COM
pleted In addition to the great bene-
fit 10 Charlotte and vicinity. it is esi-
mated that this drainage system when
completed, Will add to the value of
the farm lands to the extent of over
S25 per acre and that $4,000 bushels
of corn per year can be raised on the
reclaimed lands.
Interesting Object Lesson.
The legal steps taken in the organi-
cation of the Mecklenburg Drainage
Commission and the construction
methods used in prosecuting the work
are interesting Is type which may
be considered by other communities
having similar problems.
The work was originally authorized
by the General Assembly of the State
In an act providing for O commission
of five man to be known as the Neck
lenburg Drainage Commission, In which
the powers and duties or the commits =
sion were stated in detail. Among
these powers was that of assessing the
benefits on the land and collecting
such assessments from the owners Of
the lands benefited. This act also es-
tabiished Mecklenburg count, as a
drainage district. 1t is provided that
an amount annually no; exec ading So
per acre should be collected until the
whole assessment is paid; or, If the
total cost OF the work is less than an
average of SO per acre. the commission
is authorized TO divide the assessment
into annual Instruments in the discrc
tion of the commission.
No Law Here on Subject.
The last Legislature Of Virginia did
not legislate on the drainage ques-
ton; perhaps nobody asked 1t to. and
II anybody had requested action. the
members would doubtless have wran-
gled over the subject until all the leg
islat!ve pay days had rolled by and
then left the matter in the pigeon
hole.
But why wait for action by the Leg
islature? Doubtless with the help OF
Richmond drainage company could
be formed and the work done for the
