To REPORT RESULTS
At DINNER TONIGHT
HEADS OF COMMITTEES WHO
CONDUCTED UNIQUE CAM
PAIGN TO SUBMIT FACTS.

Concluding the most unique cam
paign in the interest of the better
ment of municipal government ever

$50 earnest young business men who
conducted a house-to- house canvass
in the eff 1rt to awaken civic pride in
the hearts of the eligible non-voters
Of Richmond, will submit complete
reports tonight of the results of their
efforts.
The net results Of the three day
campaign was that 5000 citizens who
have not hitherto awaited themselves
of their rights at the polls promised
TO qualify and vote the coming prl-
maries for municipal candidates.
Over 1900 names of delinquents
were listed for the attention of the
young men who conducted the cam
paign. but many Of these were found
absent. dead or otherwise indisposed.
At the meeting tonight the twenty
two chairmen of the committees who
did the actual work will report the
interesting details of their canvass,
submitting facts. figures and names
obtained at first hand which will be
of great service in the preparation of
a further campaign 10 get out the
non-voters. which Is now contem-
plated.

form Of dinner, Will he held in the
auditorium Of the Jefferson hotel at

large majority. though at the previous election
the commission plan was overwhelmingly de
feated at the polls while Charlotte n c. for

impossible of explanation Charlotte. city Of

uation under the ancient and admittedly inefl-
cient councilmanic plan--as good administra-
ton possibly, as that sort Of municipal govern
ment admits, but one which permits the sway
of the peanut politician and ward heller.
Whether IT was this influence that defeated the
commission plan last week. was true Of the
previous election on the charter amendment
or the same Indifference Of the electorate from
which Richmond suffers possibly the Charlotte
papers can explain.
Jersey City must have as many % the peanut

former city-wbch is several times the size
Of the Charlotte n. c metropous-and the

+. Burgess, lecturing under the aus
pieces of the International Bible stu
dents association. who addressed a
fair audience in the Superior theater
yesterday afternoon. contended that
the term day" both in the scriptures
and in common usage-though most
frequently used to represent a period
of twelve or twenty-four hours, really
signifies any definite or special period
of time. holding that the literal trans
lation of the Bible that Christ will
summon saint and sinner in rank and
file before him To he Judged In a
twenty -four hour day is an absurd
construction.
The term Day Of Christ" the
Day of Judgment" and His Day, -

period when Christ shall reign over

SOLVES THE PROBLEM.

"A six-pound shad, ssays the Virginia Citizen,
can be bought for 80 cents. while pound
of poterhouse steak costs 80 cents, and spring
chicken sells at 60 cents per pound" And the
siHpound shad will last the average family
several meals, while the steak or the chicken
will make only very skinny portions of a meat
course for one meal. Furthermore, the fish is
not only palatable but nourishing and easily
dgested, embodying food elements not found
in either the fish the fowl.
If the housewife desires any further enlighten-
ment on the solution of the problem of the
cost Of high living or the high cost of living she
is invited to correspond with the experts of
