friends in Dawson.

is survived by three children-Mrs.
Charles Chambless of Terrell county,
John Adams of Florida, and Thomas

oUn SELFISH RICu.

DO the rich men OF Richmond make
| municipal duty subordinate to their
own pleasure and convenience? This
was tho harsh Judgment passed on
them by two gentlemen who should
know the spirit of this city If 1t be
true, then, indeed, we are in bad
way. If 1t be true that the poor or
only moderately well-to-do have more
civic pride than the man or women
of thousands and millions we need a
new standard of success 1t is de-
clared that the wealthy neglect the
very part of the city in which they
have their homes. They are slow to
answer the appeals for the enlarge
ment and betterment OF our municipal
/ life. They have made enough money
tn protect themselves, and they feel
no duty toward the community in
which the money was made.
This is the gravest charge that can
be brought against any citizen: that
his selfshness blinds him to the source
of NIL his riches. In part. it is Ger
tainly true of Richmond. There is a
need of educating rich men to a higher
