As was foreshadowed, in this paper, the
Press Association was welcomed to Charles
ton by the Mayor and Gov. Wilson in adj
dresses that were at once gratifying to the
visiting editors aud credi.able to the Off
cials Of the Capital city and State. In his
address the Governor reminded them of the
vast aud varied and rich resources Of the
State. He claimed what we have before
tried TO impress upon the minds Of the peo-
pie at large, that our forests contain more
hard woods than can be found in all the
other States Of the Union combined. He
qualified this assertion by presenting data
clearly showing that hc was not INDUCING
i'm idle speculation, but that West Virginia
was one vast forest of valuable timber; that
there Is more mineral wealth than can be
found In the same area in any other quarter
of tine globe. But, said the Governor
how is IVES. Virginia to be benefited by
this great wealth of timber aud minerals?
The only way is to build lateral railroads
and connect them with the c. 4 O or the B,
* d. r. r., then aud not until then will the
wealth of our forests and mines be brought
into practical use.' IL is gratifying to our
people who have the States prosperity at
heart TO know that these lateral roads are
projected aud I'm course of building
men, tar-seeing business men like Senator
Camden. Ex-senator Henry q. Davis, Hon.
Ben Martin, and Others, putting theirmeans
and minds into these things for the devel-
opmeut of the wealth of this great State.
And if these men in these great works put
money ia their own purses it is perfectly
legitimate thing 20 do-and exactly what
the generality of persons would like to do.
As AN example of what is being done we
give the following brief abstract of the Re
port of Hon. Henry G.. Davis at "a recent
meeting in Baltimore of the Executive Com
mittee of the Board of Directors of the West
