ilWMCMthHo,
By the election of . Mr. James
B. Pace aa cite treasurer of
Richmond yesterday oat of the
ImuicomplMdL^^aea uroMr
Pace was the ricbeU-maS^herc.
hi* wealth being estimated well
into the million*. Ha was very
generous in a very quiet way.
when caeca, of poverty were
hemqiht to Ida attention he de*
lighted to agsply relict abend
aady bat With discrimination
and care ao aa to be a real help
er. Aa a bank president be was
liberal and especially consider
a&zasatt'aJSs
la Unable. He did not seek or
court popularity, had no dream
that ha am would seek or need
to seek any public office and did
not ttnatUmdf forward. *
Ea the course of time aad the
vicissitudes of business bis for
tune was feat and ba became
comparatively a poor mao aad
was ao loaner a commanding
Inn in the naaeeial Ufa of the
city. When his candidacy for
thc.etty treasnrerahip, which ft
virtually a life position at a lib
eral salary. was announced re
cently, these old good deads of
fats sprang suddenly into lift to
work for hha after twenty or
thirty year*. All over Richmond,
in awry class of society, mea re
membered kindly and generous
things ha had done in the past
fmr them or their fathers or
friends. The opportunity to do
aoamthlag to return the old ob
ligations was accepted eagerly
aad gladly. The politicians and
the organizations ware not with
Mr. Pace, bat before this tide of
sentiment they were swept away
Hha straws, "fa every ward and
precinct area who la one way or
another bad been noder obliga
tions to Mr. Pace made their dt
sire tv repay aad their affection
ate remembrance of old favor*
above all other con side rations.
Ban it was a vwklss man who
in Use* of pinch or distress had
received a belpfol friendly lift
from Mr. Pace or bad seen a
comrade or some member of bis
family so favored. There it was
a business man whom Mr. Pace
tided over a close place, yean
ago. There, -again, it was a
woman who la timet gone by
hoew his boa sty. These things
were brought up end told ia the
shops, in the homes, the clubs
and offices. Consequently he de
veloped sponta neonaly strength
which astookhcfT his moat san
guine friends, the moat exper
ienced political prophets aad
himself. There b no doubt as
to his capacity and fitness for
the place, but other men as cap
able and efficient and as trust
worthy offered. R i s kindly
deeds done and forgotten, the
substantial kelp be gave to so
many fifteen, twenty and thirty
years ago, rose np from the ob
scurity of time and crowded to
the polls (or him, giving him a
majority beyond all calculation.
Judging from our own exper
ieaca and observation, we think
more kindly of human natare,
perhaps* then most people do.
We believe a* great majority ol
men aad women remember kind
nesses and but await the oppor
tunity to prove that gratitude
lives, and that the vast majority
love to do good rather than ill
aadwra ready to help others si
they can. It k very rarely,
however, that an opportunity
such as this cornea or is so beau
tifully sod generously used. It
is net often tint bread cast upon
the water cornea back to as after
*o many years so distinctly aad
directly.

DUMB "Yellow Leaf Blight** and "Red
|| Leaf Blight,” so disastrous to cotton,
are both attributed, by the highest author
ities, to impoverished soil — lack of Potasu
and nitrogen. In fact, these authorities
advise liberal fertilizing with mixtures con
taining Kainit as the prime preventive.
"Cotton Culture,*' an authoritative book
of 90 pages shows, from actual photographs,
healthy cotton plants fertilized with Kainit,
alongside diseased plants not fertilized with
Kainit—yours for the asking absolutely free.
