Refused License.

At the local option election in Central
district, Rockingham county, last month,
the VETS won by small majority.
There are three precincts in the district
-Harrisonburg, which voted ''dry'' by
4 m ljority, and Keezleton and Mt. Gin
ton, which voted wet The Town Coun-
Gil of Harrisonburg, we presume, took the
vote as cast in the local option election as
instruction, and refused to grant license
to sell liquor in the town. This will
bring up the question of license or no
license in the election of a Council, which
takes place this month.
The american Manufacturer, of which
Mr.. Jos. d, Weeks, President of the Iron
Gate Rolling Mill Co. is editor, has the
following with reference to the Iron
Gate Rolling Mill:
1.-The work of dismantling the Mounds
vile CIV. Va.) Rolling Mill, prior to it's re-
mOval and re-erectiOn at Iron Gate, Va,
has already commenced. Marked i'm
provements will be made, not only in re-
arranging the location of the rolls and fur
naces in order to secure greater economy
of labor, but also in the machinery AID
ditional boiler power will be supplied,
and such improvements made as will
make the mill practically new works.
The Iron Gate Rolling Mill Company is
the name of the organization that is
erecting it.
All the property formerly owned by
the Everett Iron Company in Bedford
Do I, n nj Ivy
by Mr.. Jos. E. Thropp, of Philadelphia,
the President of the Iron Gate Land and
Improvement Company. 1t consists of
large blast furnace 75x20, containing
three Siemens-Cowper-C ochrane hot
blast stoves with an annual capacity of
49, 900 net tons; also about II 900 acres of
land, including coal mines, coke ovens,
ore mines, limestone quarry and rail
road and 70 tenement houses. Mr..
Thropp will probably make necessary
repairs and put the works in operations.
The Corporation Court of Lynchburg
has caused to be entered Judgment

the highest fine that could be imposed,
This is the way for the Democrats to
invite the most ignOminous defeat that
ever befell a party. The law of the
State says that coupons shall be received
for all debts, dues and taxes owed to the
State The Courts, State and Federal,
have decided that this law ic q oop+root
and inviolable. Yet, when the citizen
proceeds under this final Interpretation
of the law, to do as it says it may do.
under an illegal statute, he is arrested,
arraigned before the court, and Judgment
entered up against him for $4,000. Was
there ever such a travesty upon Justice
or such an exhibition of bad faith in a
civilized community against the citizen
who simply seeks to obey the law?
The President joined his family at
Deer Park last Friday. He will remain
there most of the time until about the
1st of August, going to Washington once
a week to hold Cabinet meetings on
Wednesdays, until they shall be discon-
tinued for the season. He, with his wife
will visit Mr.. Blaine and family at Bar
Harbor for week or ten days in Au-

What Might Be.


There is no way by which the future
possibilities of the South, in its mate
rial wealth, can be approximately meas
ured When it is known that the cot
ton crop of 1888 was worth $500, 000,0 DOC
for the white down." the oil produced
from the cotton seed, 100000, 900; and
food products from the seed and stalks
$4,000, 00O-an aggregate Of $420,O0O,O 900,
and that this source of wealth does not
take in anything else, some idea may be
for the South if the proper policy and
appliances are awaited of to develop and
utilize her resources.
We're the South to manufacture the
cotton into fabrics. as could be done
cheaper than anywhere else in the world
were she to raise her own corn, wheat
bacon, grass, &C., which could be easily
done, and establish iron plants to smelt
the inexhaustible ores, Eand work them in
to iron and steel and the finished products
it could be made the richest portion of
the globe The 1920. 1000, 600, the value
of cotton alone, would not be one
fourth of the annual revenue that would
be derived from her resources. Then
were the timber growths to be judicious-
ly handled factories for manufacturing
all kinds of wood work established, a
great industrial section would be created
that would be without a precedent or a
parallel.
Under the operation of the protective
policy, since 1861 the wealth of the ma
tion increased in twenty years from
$16,OOO0O0 900 to 100000, 900, but com
paratively little of the increase was in
the South That section is just begin
ming to understand and appreciate the
benefits which follow the practical APP
plication of the protective policy. With
it in continuance the next twenty years
will show an aggregate wealth from cot
ton, cotton fabrics, non ore and their
products, timber and its products, and
the raising of her own bread and meat,
that will be astounding. The possibili-
ties of the South, il the proper energy is
put forth, are beyond calculation in fact,
and there are those now living who will
be cotemporaneous with a developed
and created wealth, surprising that
which is now assigned to the whole
Union. When the waste lands are APP
propriated to the growth of the cereals
in raising corn and wheat and grass for
cattle; when the timber shall be utilized
where it is grown, instead Of being
shipped abroad as is now the case; when
the cotton shall be TUNED into fabrics
where it is raised and the iron ore and
coal shall be used in furnaces and factO
ries within the Southern limits; when
these resources of wealth shall have
been even approximately developed,
there will be no portion of the civii
lied world where more material wealth
will be located
