A Crying Need in Richmond.

Editors Climax
May | ask the use OF you r
valuable paper 10 call attention to cry
ing need Of our town. Many persons
have spoken of it TO me and none can
gainsay il. Ii is this-a room or rooms
where boys and young men can ind
wholesome quarters when the days
work is over. Eventually such a move
ment might grow into a beautiful Young
Mems Christian Association building, as
! hope il would. Nearly every town of
Richmond 5 size in the South has such
quarters, and il is impossible TO estimate
The good results to our youth. To fully
realize this need all that is necessary is
10 watch the crowd of idlers on our
streets, especially on Sabbath afternoon.
They are loafing In front OF open stores;
on every stairway leading to the street;
swearing. throwing dice for cigars or
dope, OF shooting craps for money. If
we had such a place doubt exceeding
ly whether Capt. Altman would have
been called on to arrest eleven boys for
gambling last Sunday
Mr.. Editor, will you not take this
matter up with the other papers OF our
city and push il TO successful conclu-
sion. / am sure it can be done. The
ministers Of the city recognize this great
need and will, | am sure, do their full

ABOUT MacLEoD's SHORTAGE.

The Woodville Republican contains
the following account of the circum.
stances attending the discovery of
MacLeod's shortage:
He made his confession to l.. J.
Ventress, president of the bank, and
to J. NJ. Sessions, vice-president,
when he was confronted with an al
legged discrepancy between his books
and the banks account with the Hi.
bernia Bank and Trust Company, of
New Orleans. An expert accountant
is now engaged in auditing the books
and the bank is closed pending his
report.
Vice-president James M. Sessions
went to New Orleans last week for
medical treatment and Saturday morn.
ing called at the Hibernia Bank. He
learned that the figures on Mac
Leod's books did not agree with the
Citizens Bank account on the books
Of the Hibernia. The Citizens Bank
always kept a good balance at the
Hibernia, and at this time it should
have been about $4,000. Mr.. Sessions
was amazed, therefore, when he was
told there was an overdraft of $170.
He decided to make an immediate
Investigation, so took the evening
train and returned to Woodville. He
called L. T. Ventress, president of
the Citizens Bank, into consultation,
and the two went to MacLeod's house
and told him what they had discov-
cred. Macleod then made full con.
fession, declaring that he was ready
to plead guilty and take the conse-
quences. He stated that he first
Incorporated funds of the bank

he began to plunge" in the cotton

losses. But luck was against him Ind

FOR GOOD ROADS.

Feeling that the future prosperity
Of the parish depends largely upon
whether or not system of good
roads is to be built, and hoping 10
reach the most feasible solution of
the momentous question, Mr.. w. H.
Richardson, member of the police
jury from the third ward, intends to
take the matter up with the police
jury at its next sitting.
Mr.. Richardson has no cut and
dried formula to put before the po-
lice jury; rather it is his idea that
the citizens Of the various wards get
together, and, if possible, select some
plan likely to be espoused by a ma
jority of the people. This would give
the police jury something tangible to
work on and would be an advantage
OF all other plans tried heretofore in
which some people worked at log
gerheads with the police jury. The
police jury can appoint a committee
to confer with the citizens commit
tee, and all possible differences could
be adjusted before any actual con-
struction would be undertaken.
Mr.. Richardson's idea is good
one, and all interested parties are
urged to cooperate with him in his
worthy endeavor to inaugurate a bet
ter system of roads.
