The first city to adopt the
| manager plan was Staunton, V:
l.*0H. The city was heavily indebted,
, the council was split and strong poii-
; tical factions were at war with each
other. The people were nbt getting
1 results and members of the council
who had the welfare of the city at
heart and who were business men of
rare experience, designed the plan
of operation of the city affairs along
the lines of their private business,
electing a board of directors who in
turn named a manager for the bu«i-
ne.-s of the city.
Staunton within twenty years has
paid all debts, owns its own water
plant, its own power plant, its street
railway system, two large parks nnd
is operating in a most progressive
way with a sinking fund of over
twenty-five thousand dollars.
"He has withstood every scheme
to place the great water power of
New York in the hands of private in
terests, and in the face of unyielding
opposition and repeated defeats, he
is still working on a plan by which
a semi-public corporation can bi
tablished to supply power to farms
and industry. He wold give this cor
poration tax exemption in order that
it might operate more cheaply than
private power companies can.
“He supported steadfastly the for-
eign policy of the Wilson administra
tion and defended it when it was n<>t
popular to do so. He stands today
precisely where he did when he in
troduced Woodrow Wilson to a great
audience in the Metropolitan theater
in March, 1919. Said he: ‘Whatever
may dc the cross-fire of opinion
there is one thing that we are all
agreed upon, and that is that Amer

AL SMITH AS GOVERNOR
Since A1 Smith became governor
of New ^ ork the appropriation for
public schools in that state has in
creased nine times over what they
were when he took office. The Rich
mond News-Leader says of him:
“Smith hua met New York City’s
housing shortage with legislation
that provides a state housing hank,
through which the building corpora
tions that agree to limit their divi
dends can issue ami market bonds.
He also has procured the enactment
of Iau*s allowing these housing cor
porations to condemn land. He con
sider- this program less than half
complete, because of the continued
Republican opposition.
He has aroused the legislature to
rc liberal support of public educa
tion, ami has had 'he appropriation.-'
raised from S9.OOU.000 to $82,500,-
r. with a complete and glo-
riuns revolution in the whole public
school system of New York.
“lie has met with courage every
attempt to make the court political,
and he reappointed to the appellate
division of the supreme court a dis
tinguished Republican judge, though
by so doing he left that tribunal
with a majority of its members Re
publican*.
“He has reduced New York’s 200
hoards and commissions to fourteen
departments, the heads of which con
stitute a cabinet that meets with him
every two weeks und is directly
answerable to him.
“He has refused to permit poli
tics to control „r religion to enter
into his appointment of department
head. Eight of the fourteen are
UotnocratM an.I i, ,, T , Republican, ;
twelve are Protestants, one is a Cath
olic .and one i.s a Jew.

"Highest Bid" may be many dollars under the market value.'
How many people can grade cotton? There are 26 different
grades and the money difference between them is great. The pres

you each hale sent to me will he handled in such a manner you will

selling each bale and if you hold your cotton, only 50c per bale per
