Hampton, Phoebus and Old Point, which was Issued yester? day, is a preface written by Mr. T. L. Farrar, secretary or the Chamber of Commerce. This preface Is a brief, but comprehensive "write-up" of Nowport News. The first para? graph is devoted to the Ideal location of the city and Its remarkable growth ?, during the ten years or Its existence, "the Bccoud to climatic conditions , ami the peculiar adaptability of the soil In Tidewater to truck fanning. The remainder of the nrtlcle tells of the city's manufacturing enterprises, banks, schools, hotels, postofllce ser? vice and business houses, of tho Ohosapeake & Ohio terminals and wnterfront activity, nnd closes with a mention of some of tho new indus? tries the city .might support and n statement to the effect that tho Chamber of Commorce stands ready at all times to furnish Information and to co-operate with Individuals or companies desiring to locate en? terprises. Although the directory ns a whole is larger und bolter than ever before, to us It seems that the addition of <he preface is the greatest Improve? ment tho Hill company has made In Hb volume. City directories aro pretty well circulated throughout tho country and Mr. Fnrrar's write-up furnishes just the kind of advertising ^e want to get before the public at this time. While the preface was written primarily .for boosting purposes, it is a .statement of facts and not simp? ly a bombastic. circus-poBter-like af? fair. Wo congratulate Mr. Farrar upon his good taste in preparing such an article, and the dlroctory company should have the gratitude of the city for publishing it. MORE POLICEMEN NEEDED. Up in Richmond a movement look? ing toward n material Increase in I the strength of the police department has been Inaugurated by the council finance committee, and seems likely to meet with the favor of tho c'.ty fathers. This Information In the Rich mond papers reminds us of the fact ? that a similar movement, on a small scale, was started here somo time ago. The old council passed nn ordi? nance requiring tho lioard of police commissioners to work patrolmen not over eight hours per day. It is ad ! .mitted that In order to put the eight j hour 8Mft Byatem into effect, and at the same time give the city anything I like the necessary protection, at least two extra patrolmen must bo furniBhod. The council recognizes t, tfcie fact and ft has been understood for several months that the appro Spoliation for two policemen would be ; made. Now that the question of rules r hap been settled and the committees I ??'are getting down to work, ono of the |V?r?tt matters to receive consideration <? .should be this appropriation. A reso? lution making" the appropriation, of f\ fered by Councilman Christio, bat C. Leen referred to the ordinance and police committee. The ordinance und pollen commit? tee failed to meet on Its regular meeting night, but we hope tbut a special meeting will be bulled before Hie next session of the council so thai Mr. t'luistie'H resolution und other matters thai may liavu been referred to the committed may be re? ported upon without tl/lay, Crokor's Biiecesa in winning his libel suit against the English publl-j cation ninv result in action against i various Now York papers Ihn I have, asked -Where did he get it?"

F. Swiuuey, of Kansas City, a former president of the association, wlio fathered the amendment, said that while he had great respect for Colonel l.owrey and the Other ox prosldcnts he did not see any neces? sity for retaining them for life on th<> executive council. Until four, years ago, when the convention met in New Orleans, the said cx-pres'.dehts were not accorded that privilege. A motion to reconsider the vote on the amendment was defeated by a rising vote of H2 to 135. Reports of the Mi! of lading com? mittee nnd the clearing house confer? ence committee were received and adopted; The convention was addressed by Charles J. linden, of Atlanta.
