eruptions, and wasting of the bodily
substance-wthout thinking OF the
great good many suffe 'ers from il
have derived from Hoods Sarsapar-

cures of this one disease are enough
to make it the most famous medi-

RICHMOND AS AN EDUCATIONAL CENTER
SUPERINTENDENT OF RICHMOND PUBLIC SCHOOLS

From an historical standpoint the
city of Richmond has. for many de-
cades, occupied prominent position
In the eyes of the nation. From an
educational standpoint its growth has
been rapid. and its position in the
South enviable.
At the close OF the war of secession
there were two colleges, Richmond
college In the west end tthen only a

together had an attendance of about
three hundred. Since this time many
institutions have been established in
Richmond.

ENDORSES EFFORTS
Of THE EXCHANGE
TRUST COMPANY IN FIGHT TO
HAVE STATE MORTGAGE TAX
LAW MODIFIED.

The Richmond Real Estate ex-
change is seeking the Incorporation
OF outsiders in their efforts to have
the real estate mortgage tax law
modified. and a large trust company
writes the exchange as follows:
lyon have our sympathy in the
movement towards a repeal of the
tax on real estate mortgages in vir-
ginia. and you may count on our sup
pert in every legitimate effort TO this
end.
1--WE believe the present law is a
great injury to the proper develop
ment OF Virginia. it Is not only keep
Ing money away which would natur-
ally come here but II operates to re-
tard progress in our very midst. And
In this connection we ara OF tie opin-
Ton that owners Of farm lands In Vir-
einia are much more vitality interested
than holders OF city real estate; the
burden OF present conditions falls
most heavily on the thrifty and pro-
gressive farmer. and II should be the
patriotic duty OF every citizen of the
Old Dominion to see that this unjust
double tax Is wiped on the books en-
tirely. for the general good OF all the
people. "

COMMERCIAL POSITION
AND HER PROSPECTS FOR FUTURE
by n. M. HARRINGTON.

When one stops to consider the
business conditions OF our city twenty
five or thirty years ago, when our
older men were taking fresh courage
from the disaster of the war, In which
was demonstrated unconQuerable
courage and spirit that no disaster
could Quench, and the succeeding gen.
Grafton were just coming into har-
ness. and consider the slow but sure
progress that we have made to our.
present position of size and impor-
lance, every thinking man must APP
preciate that there were certain basic
reasons therefor. After the war Rich
mond led In the manufacture of to-
bacco and stood foremost, Ii not first.
in the manufacture of -four, and its
great iron concerns were among the
first In the country. The gradual de-
velopment of the growth and the
changed styles of tobacco in the great
West changed Its status in the world
OF manufactured tobacco. Economic
conditions that followed the develop
ment OF the great grain of the West
put another complexion on the COM
parative position of Its mills, and the
iron interests developed in the North
and South have dwarfted this leading
product of her factories.
In her financial institutions. admin
istered on old-time lines, in which a
great factor was the personal rela-
tons existing between the banks Gus
toners and its president, the young
mans energy and optimism had to
take back seat for experience and
conservatism.
The projection of an electric street
car company was considered as a wild
dream OF a promoter. The horse cars
were only used in seasons of weari-
ness, and not to shorten the length
of time in going to and from home.
The Awakening Gradual.
The best men OF our city gave their
time and thought to its civil affairs,
and they lived in the good old days
of social advantages; very often at
the expense Of commercial pursuits.
Gradual awakening came to the ad-
that we possessed and with
the fact Richmond was known to
possess in her leaders OF commerce,
men who could be depended on. and
