What Are Conventions Worth:

WIlllLE the city budget is under considera-
w ton. to the accompaniment OF cries Of
ECONOMY from all sides the Finance Com
mittec and Council itself would do well 10
give careful scrutiny to proposed appropra-
tons, whether general or special. for all forms
of public entertainment. Hospitality is a dc
lishtful virtue. and il should be as charactcris-
tic of Richmond il is of Richmond people
but just now il is seriously to be questioned
If very much OF that sor, of thing is within
tho city's means.
Perhaps VIC have al gone astray in the
recent past Certainly the newspapers mus,
bear their share OF the blame ii any is 10 be
imputed. for ovcrseucrous appropriations Of
public funds for the reception OF the stranger
within our gates. There is good reason 10
believe that in the ranks OF Council strong
doubt is felt OF the wisdom OF some Of these
expenditures.
This is not 10 say. of course. that all Of
the expenditures have been injudicious. From
some Of the conventions that have been held
in Richmond. il is quite obvious that Rich
mond as a whole. has received considerable
benefits. From some others. however the
benefits, even i'll prospect were doubtful and
from at least one other no benefits to the
community possibly could have been antici-
pated
Whatever the facts as TO this aspect of the
matter responsibility. as we have said has
been rather widely distributed. Is it not
Il
wise always remem hering that the citv's
accumulated deficit now amounts to some
thing like 100000. TO become a trifc more
parsmonious? When an individual finds
that his annual expenses are exceeding his
annual income, his first inclination is to Top
off some OF his Injuries. aud il lie has been
in the ha hit of entertaining lavshlv he dis
covers means Of retrenchment close at hand
That is not a bad rule for cities nor for this
city
Let us consider the matter rather cold
boodedly this year. There are certain tvpes
OF conventions. like those of retail dealers in
commodities manufactured in or distributed
from Richmond. which have an obvious com
muniiv advantage. There are other which
bring so large number of visitors to the
city either as delegates or becau.e OF the
interest of the occaS sion. that they arc Drofta-
bic on this account Some others NAV have
a distinct advertising value. At any rate
whatever the advantages, actual or alleged
OF any convention it is planned to bring 10
Richmond. let them be weighed and pondercd
before the money of tho taxpayers in amounts
however great or small. is contributed TO the
enterprise.
In the judgment CT many clea r-hcaded and
slraight-thinking men, Richmond will get
more and better citizens, more new Industries
and more new business by improving lis
streets and its water supply than by all the
tween now and the end Of time

E. F. CHAMBLISS

The sad intelligence reached the
city this morning of the death of
Our former fellow citizen. Mr.. Z.
F. Chambliss at his late residence
in Ashville, N. c. Mr.. Chambliss
was for number of years one of
the active builders in the Colony
City and a factor in its early de-
velopment. He organized the
Chambliss Grocery Co. and for a
number of years was the head Of
the institution. He also assisted in
organizing the Bowen Banking
Co., and during its life was one of
its directors, and became direc-
tor of the Exchange National
Bank, when the old institution ac-
cepted a National Bank charter.
To his untiring efforts also is due
largely the securing for Fitzger-
aid the A. B. & A. Railroad.
The entire community extends
to the bereaved family their sin
cerest coincidence. He leaves a
loving wife and devoted daughter
to mour his loss.

During the short time I have
been your congressman, l have
sincerely endeavored to serve you
faithfully, and if my efforts and
record meet with your approval, l
will feel greatly honored and pro-
foundly grateful if you will give
me your support in the coming
election. Congress has been in
almost continuous session SINCE
you elected me, and duty required
me to stay here, which prevent

Means Committee is now daily
working on Revenue measure
being on that committee, I must
remain here until the new tax law
is pasesd. AS soon as Congress
adjourns, or before then, if public
business will permit me to leave,
| expect to canvass the District,
meet the people personally, and
talk to them face to face, both in
dividaully and on the stump.
If reelected, l promise to dis
charge the duties of the great Of
fee with fidelity, and to the best
of my ability.
From the depths Of my heart I
thank you for your past kindness
to me.
