Washington. Sept 1.-THE manaS e-
ment Of the Southern Railway today
assured a committee Of Richmond
business men who came here Niat the
Southern was In no way hostile to the
proposed Urbanna Railroad. but on the
contrary, would be very glad to CO.
operate in the construction of this line
In every possible way. This new road
is to run from Richmond to Irrbanna
and will open UP valuable section Of
the Western Shore OF Virginia.

Southern to aid in financing the new
enterprise. but II did request such
trackage facilities and joint rates as
would give the Urbanna proper con-
nection at Richmond.
General Manager r. Fl. Coapnan
stated to the Sun correspondent fol-
lowing the conference that his COM
pany's attitude toward the Urbanna
Railroad was the same as toward any

HEAVY REGISTRATION
AT INTERMONT COLLEGE

Especial to The Richmond yirginian9,
Bristol, Va. Sept. 1.-THE present
number of paid registrations at Nir-
ginia Intermont College has already
gone beyond the total number In at
tendance last year. Applications are
continuing to come In and the school
will either have to provide more room
or turn students away. Not only will
the number in attendance be larger
than in former years, but the scholas-
tic preparation of the girls who have
"a pplied for admission is better. Stu
dents are not only entering as gradu-
ates Of the best high schools IN the
South. but also as former freshmen
and sophomores from other COL
leges. Quite number during the
past week have wired for reserva-
tons OF rooms. The registration list
now includes twenty States. The In
crease In the number of students Is
especially notable since many OF them
come from the far South, where flnan-
cial depression Is more pronounced
than in nearby StateG. The increase
Is attributed to the advanced standing
OF the school and to the fact that
Virginia Intermont College Is widely
recognized as one Of the leading COL
leges Of the junior type.
