WAR, AND RUMORS' WarI i This coming summer seems 'destined to afford Considerable excitement for Richmond, confronted as it is by prospects of telephone and ice wars. Of the two the fight between the rival telephone., companies will probably be the most interesting. Although both companies are backed by ample capital, the Home Telephone Comapny seems at present to be in the most favorable position for a protracted fuiht. It has the largest number of subscriber, and furthermore has the ' advantage of being a local concern ,backed by local capital, a fact which greatly popularizes the company in local sentiment. As an oft'-set to this, however, the Bell Telephone Company announces that with the completion of its new building and the installation . of new telephones, it will be in a position to render better service than the Home Company. One great difficulty which the Bell people will have, to overcome will be tj ge-peoIeto. change from the Homophone to their phone. For even though the new phones may give better service, it will be hard work persuading subscribers of the other phone that it willbe worth their while to make the change,- accompanied as it would be by, great bother. To overcome this difficulty the Bell people will doubtless be put to a great expense for a house to house canvass, in order to arouse sufficient interest in their project. Additional expense will probably be incured also by the inauguration of a campaign of rate cutting. In all events the coming war will be extremely interesting to the onlookers who according to present indications, will not be compelled to pay for wit nessing the spectacle, but on the con trary will very likely enjoy lower telephone rates, for the timo.being atJ least. . 1

JWEfJTY SEVEN

YEARS Of DUTY WM. M'GEEW HAS SEEN LONG SERVICE AS HIGH SCHOOL ' JANITOR. HE IS KNOWN BY HUNDREDS It Is His Observation That Many Bad Boys Have Turned Out Successfully. . :f f Students i come &ndU students go, but William McGfrew stays: - on i - forever, !V ? is - a maxim among r hightq 'school students, .of the. past :and tof todays Mr. McGrewt is now entering - upon his twenty-seventh year of service- asjauiton 'of tbe .high shool building, and he numbers among ; . his ;. warm friends nearly half the people of Richmond. Now. and then a high school student of former? days, wanders : back ttii, i4 alma mater to renew acquaintanceship with ' the scenes - of -his" "school boy days, -"and after noticing the faces of the students who are now pupils at the high school, and after inspecting the improvements of the building, he begins to search for the old familiar landmarks! The former student goes. to a spot where he remembers having .written his name on a wall, of one of the study rooms, or to a desk-over-whieh he was formerly lord and master, and where, to while away a study period of pleasures not to be: found in dry school books, he cut his initials with his jack knife.- - But he finds that the wall has been redecorated and that the desk has been substituted for another. In despair lie 'looks around' for1 just on$ object that will recall, to his mind the "bl unlays." While; he gazes ,he sees the jslightly stooped figure o a little igrtfy-haired man and. then he knows that the one landmark associated with his school-boy days has been found the little -gray-haired man is "Billy" McGrew. Mr. McGrew was t born in Ireland, reared, in Engfandaiid at the age of 2l lyears' hfrleame to; America to seek employment. After living," in New V(5rkufor nine yrs, . where he was empldyed in a dry goods store, Mr. McGrew came to Richmond late in the seventies and secured employment with W. Bradbury, f who, at f hat time' wa4 Ifnm ber of ..the school boaroToi fluence McGrew secured his present position. "I can't go into 'a . storp -in tnis town," said McGrew yesterday, i( without .meeting ,s,ome former student in the high school. Lots of them were bad boys in their time, but I always got along well with them. It's funny.but most of the 'bad boys' are the ones that turned out well." BIG K. OF P.

It was from the tfirst an almost imposible task. Words that have been used only once in awhile in the history of the. English language carefully were noted and tabulated.
