Tho southern counties Of West Virgins
We believe to be the wealthiest portion o
, tho State, as regards timber and minerals
and they should by all means be repre-,
: sentsd. Wayne county, especially, is hlleC
with mineral wealth and all that 10 needed
for its development is capitsl. We woulr
suggest that q convention be called Il
