will happen and having due regard for the flow
OF cash that may set towards Pocahontas, are
scheming to make Graham wet" town. They
have circulated petition asking for a local
the petition. has granted such election and has
named May End the day for holding It,
If Graham votes wet 1t will become the
abiding place of whskey activities. and Blue
helders, being connected with it by street car
line. can repair to it whenever they feel so in
clined Graham will have much larger bust
ness than ii now has and its income in the way
of cash will be greater. Big crowds of white
and colored people win assemble within It's
boundaries. and fireworks and gunshots and
yells and curse will convert its peace and secur-
ity into revel of riot, murder and vice.
We never have been to Graham but we have
heard of it for years. We know that it lies In
Tazewel county, in the blue grass district of
the State, and we know that its people have been
law abiding Industrious and progressive. For
years they have been free from barrooms and
the ruin and degradation that spring from bar
room traffic have had abiding place with
them, They have heard of the wreckage and
have learned of the sorrow that alcohol creates,
but their experience with il has been slight,
and they have grown and prospered.
Should Graham admit saloons its life will he
revolutionized. Instead of peace and security
and the quiet pursuit of industry. there will be
pandemonium. The drinking population of its
big neighbor will pour along its streets and into
its whiskey stores. Drunkards with obscenity
their lips will stagger along the sidewalks,
and the court and Jail will be busy caring for
inebriety and crimes, From community OF
good order and neighhorliness Graham will
pass into Il maelstrom of depravity. Houses of
Ill fame will spring into existence. gambling
dens will appear and every other evil that fol-
lows in the pathway of whiskey Will thrive.
Graham with saloons may have more money.
It's stores may have more customers and its
streets greater throngs of people. But its up
riEhtness and its strength and dignity will be
sadly bruised and its conscience and the duty
that 1t owes to its fellow men will count for
nothing-R0anoke World News.

BANKS SILVER ANNIyERss AIRY.

That the Savings Bank OF Richmond will

eessfu existence is matter of interest to the
local commercial world as we'll as of eongratula-
tion TO the officers and directors. who have so
ably managed the affairs of that institution
II the pioneer bank for the small saver
and was launched at time when there was
peculiar need for such bank and the fact that
others have followed In its trail does not lessen
its distinction detract from its glory It
fulfilled in the beginning long felt want and
it is no less valuable asset to the community
now. Started with capital OF 100000; this
has been doubled and the bank has surplus OF
s250.00o Its success has reflected the eonserva-
tive, wise management of It's board OF directors,
who rank ia ability and financial standing with
those OF any local bank
While there WIFI be no formal observance Of
the silver anniversary, the directors have de-
cLared an extra dividend of per cent as a birth

Lucius E. Wilson. of the American

the meter, which is as 1t should be. The quality
of the aeritorm fluid furnished Richmond con-
sumers the gas department has consistently
claimed is all right and there is no occasion for
disputing that statement The trouble seems to
be In getting enough of II, and the housewife
who uses gas range, II the constant complaints
that have been registered have any foundation,
has had and is having her vexations. The
trouble-where there is troubie--the gas de
partment claims is in the pipes leading from
the mains to the houses. That is manifestly not
the consumers fault. nor should ne he sub
jccted TO such annoyance. The responsibility for
service it seems to us. rests with the gas de-
partment-it should deliver the gas to the meter.
For the rest 1t is matter between landlord and
tenant
The new ordinance is certainly calculated to
make for better service, and The Viroinidn voices
the hope that neither the full committee nor the
council will alter IT in any respect.

TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION

That truth is stranger than fiction Is ex-
emplihed in the case OF Captain Albert Wellman,
Prussian and was left for dead on the seld
at Plevna in 1877, and has just found his wife.
The soldier of war after being released from a
Russian prison, wound up long search for his
family by settling In Montreal. where he has
accumulated fortune In manufacturing en-
terprse. Recently relatives of the pair brought
them together. Unlike the Enoch Arden
OF romance Captain Wellman has found that his
wife was faithful to her first love, and there was
no barrier TO this happy reunion.

they will first have to get their yards ready be-
fore they begin work. In fact will first
have to get appropriation Of about 100000
each for necessary equipment"
The citizens of Newport News at recent
mass meeting adopted strong resolutions setting
forth in plain English the situation, which has
been already presented by this paper. de-
termined effort will be made to get this matter
before President Wilson and the congress. 1t
does not seem to us that either can refuse to
give the people of Newport News a hearing in
this matter, and having heard they can hardly
refuse to take action in this just COM
plant. AT least the navy department should be
called upon TO explain the reasons for asking
appropriations aggregating 100000 to equip the
government yards to build ships at a higher
price than is asked by private contractors. The
wisdom Of the action Is certainly not apparent
to the layman, and the layman is paying the
freight.
