executor of George Newton, of Nor
folk. was granted a writ of error and
supersedeas yesterday in the suit from
the Law and Chancery court of that
city. in which Ira Il. White was

LOCAL FIRM GETS
LARGE CONTRACT
SYDSOR AND HUNDLEY SUCCESS.
FUITY MEETS ALL OUTSIDE
COMPETITORS.

The Virginian has always said that
the people Of Richmond are well
provided with mercantile establish
ments capable OF supplying all their
needs.
The new hotels under construction
have been solicited by firms from the
North and elsewhere. and every effort
put forth by them to obtain the or
ders for furnishing these new build
ings.
The Murphy hotel corporation yes
terday awarded contract for the
chamber furniture for their new ho-
tel amounting to over $4,000 to the
progressive local firm of Sydnor Il
HuDdley, Inc, This award proves the
ability OF our merchants to meet fair
competition from any quarter. and
the loyalty of Murphy's to Richmond
in that all things being equal they
will buy through local firms.

SHALL CIGARETTES
BE SOLD TO MINORS?

Feeling that there might be miu-
eating circumstances in connection
with the two cases. Justice Crutch-
field yesterday held up his decision
In reference to the sale of cigarettes
to minors.
The two cases in point were those
of f. r. Pendleton, of the United
Cigar Stores. and C. E. Strause The
charge in both Instances was made
by Mrs. Fred Jones. whose son, 1t is
alleged. bought cigarettes from the
two men referred to. The law is that
no minor under sixteen years may buy
cigarettes. In each case the mer-
chants declared that they could not
tell what the age of the boy was,
although he looked more than six
teen.
In order to deal fairly, and not to
do injustice to any one, Justice
Crutchfield took the matter under
consideration. and indicated that he
would give a decision on February
31st.

CAMPAIGN.
THELIBRARY MOVEMENT

A largely attended meeting of the
executive committee of the Richmond
Education association was held We'd
nesday afternoon, at which interesting
and stimulating reports were present
ed by the various subcommittee en-
gagged in civic work.
The report of Mrs Nj. c. Branch for
the school visiting committee disclosed
how the cooperation of the associa-
ton with the city school board has re-
suited in various school improve
ments, notably the open air school for
delicate children, which is soon to be
opened. Such schools will probably be
provided for by the board in all
future building plans.
Renew Prize Offer.
This committee was authorized to
report its recommendation in minor
school matters twice year directly to
the superintendent, Last year a
valuable picture was offered to the
school presenting the tidiest yard and
basement The success of this effort
to stimulate school pride appeared to
justify its renewal the prize to be
awarded by the above committee and
selected and presented by the art
committee.
This association, in cooperation
with other civic organizations, for
more than a year has been endeayor-
ing to arouse interest in the establish
ment of city library. Recently a
luncheon was given, at which the
mayor, the chairman of the admin
istrative board and representatives OF
the press and the various interested
organizations conferred with an expert
from Washington, where the city
library has proved of distinct aid to
the industrial classes. Out Of this
meeting was developed a permanent
library association, which is now al
work developing ways and means. a
liberal appropriation was voted by the
Richmond Education association to-
ward financing the campaign, and 1t
Is hoped other organizations will con-
tribute.
Sketches of Richmond.
A series of valuable sketches in the
history of Richmond, the result OF
much patient work by Mrs. Alice w
Tyler, were received. Among them
