of that region, had the wagon with six
horses in 1912; they have nothing better
now. But, they have prospect, ofspeed-
lily seeing the great reformer, the Locomo-
i've Steam Engine, amongst them. Yet
there are many, very many wealthy men,
in Southwestern Virginia, who have not
aided to the extent of one dollar; to bring
about all the wonderful commercial and
social benefits. which ever attend Rail
way improvements. To such, we would
IN all kindness say, suffer this reproach no
longerto exist be no longer tardy in we'll
! doing. Remember that before the Vir-
GINA and Tennessee Rail Road can ad
vance one mile south of Wythcville, indi-
viduals must subscribe S200,O00 to make
available the whole of the subscription,
rendered by the State to the people OF
Southwestern Virginia. Read the char
ter Of the Rail Road Company, and you
will see the fact to be, as we state it.
The following table, taken from the
Boston Courier: exhibits the rates of divi-
dends paid by twelve railroads of Massa-
chusetts, during the last five years. and the
cost Of said roads at the beginning Of each
year. These are the only roads that have
been in operation throughout for so long a
period. 1t will be seen that there was an
increase of $l1 ,964 500 on the cost of the
twelve roads from January l, 1916, to
January l, 1850. The net earnings in 1916
were S2,O14,06l. In 1850, $2,S20,634
Increase, $S06,573.
Lynchburg Virginian. [volume] (Lynchburg [Va.]) 1829-185?, 1851-07-21

All ofthese Rail Roads ,except one, have
averaged over six per cent per annum, net
profit, on the capital invested, through the
period Of FIVE years. We doubt very much,
II the same results can be shown with re
ference to the employment of the same
capital in Agriculture, in any part Of the
State. We cannot be mistaken IN saving.
that Agricultural industry and capital is
not rewarded with six per cent per annum
profit, in Southwestern Virginia and yet
there are not few individuals in that part
of the State, who are boarding money to
buy land, from which they can never de-
rive three per cent profit until the Railroad
is completed, and who obstna,ely refuse
to invest one dollar,in the stock Of the Vir-
GINA and Tennessee Railroad Company.
This is blindness TO ones own interest,
which we confess, is beyond our compre-
hcnsion. "Enlightened sel6shness" would
certainly dictate less thriftless policy.
We make this reference to the subscrip-
ton Of the citizens Of Southwestern Vir-
ginia,to the stock Of the Railroad company,
in no spirit Of unkindness or complaint, but
because we have greatly at heart the ra-
pid progress ofour Railway, and because
we know that the citizens ofthis town have
done all they can do, to secure for the
Southwest the benefits which will be con
icrred, when the Railroad shall have been
completed. Do not let there be any mis-
take upon this poi-t: the people ofSouth-
western Virginia have the say in this mat
ter. 1.-THE Railroad is not to halt at Wythe-

second annual meeting Of the Stockholders
of the r. II. Company, it was decided that
the road should be divided into three Sec
tons, the first terminating at Salem, the
second at Wytheville, and the third at the
State line that these sections should be
put under contract in regular succession;
that is to say, one section in each succeed

is put under contract in November next,
we repeat il, the people of Southwestern
Virginia must subscribe, between no'e and
then, the requisite amount ofstoek to make
available the whole amount of the State
subscription. If they have the will to DO
it, let it be done at once; that they have the
ability, no one doubts.
