and water transportation direct to Southern point? or connecting with the coastwise lines.
CThe advantage of this to the Soul hern Merchant is two fold?the dispatch with which he can reach the market, and
do his buying without great loss of time from business, and the low freight rates afforded.
SjjThe phenomenal growth of Richmond?its rapid advance as a great, diversified manufacturing and jobbing centre
has placed the city in the fore ranks of Southern cities. Its natural advantages make it the logical MARKET-PLACE
OF THE SOUTH.

USEFUL CAREER
! CLOSED BY DEATH
(Continued From First < age.)
part In politics, he did not go into that
field as an otlice-seeker. Last fall he
was called upon by the business people
to help in the effort to oreato an
Administrative Board which could rid
the municipality of it? ancient system
and turn the city's business aver to
men who could conduct it as a busi?
ness Institution. Tiie light was close;
Mr. Manning joined heartily into the
movement, and it was said at the t'me
that the board was created largely
through, his indivdual effort. Know?
ing that the success of the new sys?
tem depended upon the character and
ability Of the men selected as com
missiouers, he aided materially In the
campaign to bring forward and sup?
port those candidates! who. In his Judg
ment. wore best suited to represent
the people Had he lived, he would
have been found standing by the best
? Icment in the community. Just as he
had stood by it in former year?.
.Terminal Incidents .,, s\tt
Though his friends were confined to
no particular class, Mr. Manning had a
keen sense of sympathy for those who
were In distress. One Incident was
typical. Three years ago he heard
that a poor woman who supported her?
self by hoard in et medical students, was
about to he ordered Into the street by
a renting agent because she was un?
able to meet her rent. The college
season was to open 'n two weeks. If
she could only tide herself over that
long, she could save her homo and
still earn her living. Without being
known in the matter. Mr. Manning in
iXormod The Tlmt-s-nlspa tch of '.the,
fads.
The case waa investigated, found to
he worthy, and an appeal was printed.
The ptllftlc Instantly responded, the
rent was paid, and the woman liai
never been forced to move.
On another occasion .in Italian boy
came to this country to live with rel?
atives In Richmond. On the ground
that there had been some technical vio?
lation of th,, law concerning his admis?
sion, he was ordered deported. Not
knowing what to do. the boy's rela?
tives appealed to Mr. Manning. The
boy at the moment was in New Volk,
waiting f<"" a ship on which the gov?
ernment would send him bacK. Mr
Manning went to Washington, laid thn
case before Senator Martin, and asked
Senator Martin to go with him to th*
White llouso to soe President Rooso
velt. The President was Immediate^
interested, he accepted Mr. Manning's,
personal assurance that the bov would
be educated and not turned loose ta
Shuffle for himself before he had
reached the proper age. and telegraphed
the department which had the caso In
charge to send the hoy back to Rich?
mond, lie was taken off the ship Just
before It sailed. That same young?
ster has been educated and Is now n
good citizen.
Incidents of this kind were numerous,
and they explain why Mr. Manning
was so highly regarded by hundreds
of people who were grateful for Ills
Unselfish efforts In their behalf.
