respondence There has been quiet
but very evident re-awakening OF ac-
tiyity in the business. anu especlally
the mineral interests, of Southwest NIr-
ginia i'm the last few weeks. Several
valuable properties have changed hands
and a good many options nave beeh
closed. and all of these sales show, by
their increased value OF property that
a well grounded confidence IS felt by
home ana foreign capitalists IN our
future as a great manufacturing coun-
try. Max Meadows and Salem have
marshalled into ranks beside Roanoke
Radford and Pulaski, ard are being
pushed ahead by energy and capital.
A furnace will be erected at once at
Max Meadows. where surveyors are
now busily engaged in laying of town
lots. while the boom in Salem. having a
better nucleus to begin with, Is even
more advanced.
A branch club was organized Satur-
dav night by a committee from the

or twenty-six stout yOemen were pres
ent. most of whom formally Joined the
club which was chTi5teued the Farmer
Kent Club These men have, nearly
all of them. been strong Republicans,
but are bitterly opposed to Malone and
his measures and are warm adne'ents
of Mr.. r c. Kent the Democratic NOM
inee for the Legislature.
1t is rumored here that a second re
publican organ is to be edited and pub
iished in Wytheville under the auspices
of Mr.. Frank Slater and Mr. He'iig-
and that this new enterprise IS to be III
augurated at once.
Fifteen race horses had been entered

Yesterday evening. aud the thick DARK

gained the mastery. aud the sun came
out bright and warm by the time the

Very many of our people were de-

occupations were represented, ana our
people were greatly pleased at the as
play made. Our new factories, the
shoe factory and the Stanton furni-
ture factory. were both IN line with
samples Of their now goods. Colored
men took part in the parade, aud the
National brass band lcolOredl united
9th the Stonewall band in furnishing
music for the parade. The procession
marched through the principal streets
and out 10 the Fair Grounds. Some OF
the floats we're put in the grounds on

JEROME PARKS OCTOBER MEETING
The American Jockey Club will open
the gates of jerome Park today for the
October meeting. Its course is the
most pleasant and picturesque of all
those in the East. 1t is more readily
accessible than any other from Madison
Square. the centre of gayety and diver
sion in the metropolis. For people
who find leisure to 90 to the track by
carriage, the drive up Filth ave
nue.. through Central Park, with It's
changing glory of autumn tints. up to
the Harlem river. and then by the spa
cious Jerome avenue TO Fordham, is one
of the most agreeable experiences to be
enjoyed in an autumn afternoon. For
those who. because of lack of time
or for other reasons, prefer the
quicker journey by rail, the trip is
snort and easy one. directly from the
Grand Central Station to the gates Of
the course without change or delay

THE TIN-PLATE JOB. In order to put

the american Economist Tariff League
organ SAYS: Double the duty for fire
gears Only, and then gradually recede
for another five years to the present or
even a lower rate. and you will revolu-
tionize the trade" The organ of Am
midtown, Thurber, Carnegie a Compa-
ny, adds: The doubling of the tax
would be only temporary; the benefi-
cial results would be lasting"
This looks very pretty on paper. but
when did tariff organ or beneficiary
ever favor the reduction of any duty IN
the whole list of tariff spollatioDs and
robbel les ? The entire tariff colLblna-
ton is now solldly arrayed against any.
even the slightest revision of the tariff
in the direction of lower rates of duty.

What has been regarded rs Governor
Hills ticket was nominated at Syracuse
Yesterday without break and without
any vigorous show Of opposition. The
city delegation, both Of Tammany and
the County Democracy, took the posi-
ton that 1t was inexpedient to renomi'
nate Controller Wemple and Attorney
General Tabor, on account OF their osso-
citation with the Assembly Chamber
ceiling scandal. 1t does not appear that
they directly charged these officials
with any responsibility in The mat
ter. or condemned them for any
delinquency, but apparently they
feared that the mere fact that their
names were associated with the cofrup
lob. and that they have been accused OF
negligence. would impair the strength
of the ticket. Ii is curious to observe
the apparent sensitiveness of these rep
resentatives Of the city Democracy on
the subject. They posed as the special
champions Of official integrity, but
they were content with putting them
selves on record and voting for other
candidates in the convention than
Wemple and Tabor. They made no
real fight against any part of the Gov
errors slate" They probably saw
that it was useless and would only tend
to cause dissension in the party y.

NORTH DAKOTA is sure of the rejec-
ton of the prohibition amendment.
The fetching argument used against the
amendment was that its adoption would
do away with the good old Dakota Gus
tom of taking a bottle along i'll case OF
rattlers." As everybody knows. there
isn't a rattlesDase in the whole new
State. but the custom had become an in
stltution and 1t had to be maintained.
Thus is the great power of the hearth
stone and its customs once more proven.
