AS the financial capital OF large cottongrow-

frrtherinr the movement to relieve the financial
stringency Ia the South. caused by the closing
Of the cotton markets of the world.
The buy .bale-ofcotton movement will be
organized here at meeting OF business and
professional men and citizens to be held Thurs
day night in the auditorium of the Chamber of
Commerce.
Every CITIZEN should feel strong personal
interest In this matter Not only is 1t good
business Tor Richmond to provide as much Of a
market as possible for cotton, but it may we'll be
believed that cotton at ten cents pound Is a
eood investment Europe may fight without our
cotton for a time but sooner or later 1t must
have clothing and America will have the fieecy
staple TO sell at price that will not be fixed
ia Liverpool There is no reason why cotton at
tel, cents "a pound should not yield as good
dividend as any other form of investment.
Let our people turn out in large number to
ensure the success of the movement in Rich

\ LESSON IN ECONOMICS.

The movement for buying bale of cotton is
significant of the underlying principle of all
business. To sell small amount to a great
number is far better economies than to dispose
Of great quantities TO small numbers. The dis
lributon of the burden makes FOR universal sat
lsiactiou We only regret that the field OF in
diyidual buying Is not more largely open to the
cotton industry, but by Its, very nature this is
impossible save In times of special crisis such
as the present When the whole country is be
coming aroused by the need of the cotton situa-
ton.
Raw products be used only In bulk. fin
shed products are most highly successful with
the widest market and the smallest unit Of sale.
The significance of the buying movement con
stitutes lesson In economics in itself.

An Appreciation.


Editor virginian:
sir.--Much praise has been spoken and writ
ten of The Richmond Virginian since the cleo
ton on the 22nd. of which, and more too, It
is entirely worthy. One does not have to read
that paper long 20 that 1t stands uncom-
promsingly for temperance; in fact, 1t so stands
for everything that Is necessary to make con-
sstent. consecrated Christian citizen. The beau
ii<ul part of IL Is that no mercenary considera-
tons swerve. In the least The Virginian from this
lofty course-t would suffer financial failure
rather than compromise iota of the high
principles for which It stands.
! wish The Virginian subscribed for in
every home in the State. think 1t is the duty
Of all good citizens to subscribe for and support,
in every proper way they can, The Richmond
lrginian, and that they should absolutely re-
fTain from subscribing to, supporting in any
way any newspaper that for a consideration
acts, through it's columns, as promoter of the
interests Of salesman for, the liquor traffic.
