The efforts Of the chamber with the
bankers and other business organtsa-

every hope Of the successful con-
clusion of our efforts. as no work that
has ever engaged the attention of the
citizens of Richmond has called forth
more enthusiasm and unstinted april
cation of work, and in Richmond's
presentation before the committee In
Washington. many striking points OF
our city's Importance as metropolis
were brought out. 1t was shown that
the Richmond banks handled $780,
600. 100000 to Southern points. The banks
had on deposit SIS. 60o, 000. 90 Of the Sea-
board Southern Cities and loans made
North and South Carolina amounted to
over $4,000. 10000. Three hundred and
eighty-two banks in North Carolina
carried 397 accounts in Richmond, and
SOL banks in South Carolina had 1s2
bank accounts in Richmond. In 1913
Richmond shipped to the Southern Sea-
board States $4,000. 0eo.00.
1t was shown that in the tobacco
trade the railroads brought to Rich
mond 144,34T.00 pounds. and that the
banks financed the tobacco crop TO
the amount of 1856. 100000.

there has not been bank failure in
Richmond. and that the commercial
failures have been Of the most incon-

tendency the Southern cities had on

THE WAY IT is DONE.

Apropos OF the $50 600 contribution OF
Cleveland H. Dodge and his wife TO the
recent Young Mems Christian Association
fund. George w. Perkins said in New
York:
Such gift inspires us with respect
for the cause 10 which It is contributed
We all believe the Young Mems Christian
Association TO be a splendid charity, but
We are strengthened in this belief when
We hear OF gifts TO II like this.
But" continued Mr.. Perkins, we must
also give much credit for the raising OF

ness OF those who appealed TO the public
in behalf OF the Young Mems Christian
Associa ton In order 10 touch the hearts
OF contributors, II Is necessary. you know.
TO feel deeply and sincerely the charity 6
worth.
In this connection I am reminded OF
the case OF an orphanage which was
much in need OF funds. A venerable
clergyman. weakened by age and poor
health. but once a celebrated preacher
was asked to preach a sermon in aid OF
this orphanage.
Although he pleaded that he was
physically unfit for the task, the trustees
persuaded him TO undertake IL.
ION the appointed day he went into the
pulpit, but the ordeal was too much for
his strength His eyes full OF tears, his
lips trembling. he could only murmur
with great pathos: Those poor children
Those poor children" and then he sank
down. exhausted.
Here, as always Mr.. Perkins con-
tinued. the earnestness OF the appeal
touched the hearts OF the listeners, for
the collection was the largest the orphan
age had ever received"
