NEW RAILROAD.

The scheme to extend the Grafton and
Philippi railroad on by way Of Buekhannon
10 Charleston is not only possible, but oc-
ours to US as presenting an enterprise of In
cslculsble value to the interior section OF
the State. The fact that such gentlemen
as MAJOR CLEMENTS, Captain WHIrEscARvER
and the other gentlemen associated with
them in the enterprise, are in position to
command capital and are themselves ex-
perienced railroad men is an assurance that
the proposition is no wild cat" There is
q vast territory interlying between Grafson
and Charleston which is wholly undeVelop-
ed and is very rich in timber and minerals
and the building Of q railroad would pro-
duce a wonderful change in short time.
Another advantage would be in linking the
northern and southern sections Of the State
together and bringing the people Of the re,
spectiye sections into regular cOmmuni-
cation.
1t seems to US tina. the Baltimore and
Ohio company would have deep interest
in the success of this particular enterprise
In fact it does look as if the Baltimore and
Ohio had paid more attention to developing
its local trade instead of reaching so far
westward for connections, it would have
been a wiser policy. However, it is not
too late to do good. and We hope to see all
new enterprises in this direction succeed.

and The mortgages are AL bring foreclosed.
The result is the farmers are compelled to
20 great distances at great Inconvenience
and heavy expenses to defend themselves
in the courts. swindled in the beginning
they are being blsckmailed in the end, and
they have no redress against the exactions
Of the gigantic fraud, The upshot OF the
whole business Is that the English capital
lists win scoop in the principal plantations
m the empire States of the South, and the
natives win be bankrupted. This Is pretty
hard state of affairs. Our West Virginia
people have suffered heavily from the cute
practices Of foreign land swindlers, and 1t
does seem that there ought to be some law
to protect people from swindlers and black
mailers. If no law can be enacted then the
people are justified in resorting to any means
for self protection to themselves, to their
homes and to their families.

A SOUTHERN LAND swrNDLE.

West Virginia is not the only State
afflicted with land swindlers. The people
Of Georgia are having an uncomfortable
time with foreign corporation that sue
eeeded in inveiging them into tolls from
which they find difficulty in extricating
themselves An English company went
into Georgia several years ago for the pur-
pose of lending money to the farmers and
planters and securing themselves BY mort
cages on their real estate. They proposed
to lend money in amount to onethird Of the
assessed value Of real estate at the rate of 5
per cent. per annum. This was a tempting
offer to the impecunious GeOrgians who had
a great deal Of land and no capital The
way it was worked was in this style: The
Georgia farmer who owned tract of land
valued at $4,000 could borrow $1,000 By
giving the required mortgage. When the
money Was turned over 800 was deducted
