Some look upon successes and fail
ures as lucky incidents or calamitous
mischances, and wonder what the NEXT
turn of fortunes wheel Is to bring
them. Others profit by both, and, by
studying their cause and the laws
which govern them, become wiser and
more able TO insure a permanent and
steady success in the future.

to the Pocahontas fields from Norfolk,

holders of the company recently organ
lied to import Cuban ores are inter
ested in the Norfolk and Western rail
road, but 1t is not yet known to what
extent there will be demand for the
ores
Colonel A. Pope, general freight
agent of the Norfolk and Western, told
TINES reporter that if the furnaces
in this section want to use this class of
ores that the freight rates will not be
in the way.
The Grocer Iron and Steel Company
says it cannot use the ore if the cost of
transportation is more than 50 per ton
Mr.. Clarence NJ. Clark. of Philadel-
phia, who is prominent in the Cuban
Ore Company, said to TIMES represen-
tatlve during a recent visit TO this
city, that he was of the opinion that
the cost of transportati ton would be so
much that the ores could not be used in
this section, but that large quantities
would go to Philadelphia and Balti-

Southern Prosperity.

Arkansas has 100000 acres of
land under cultivation.
Crystal Springs, Miss, is to have a
$40. 600 school building.
It is estimated that there are over
5000 square miles of coal fields In
Arkansas. The State is rich in other
minerals. which are being rapidly de-
veloped. These, with her fertile farm
ing lands and hay.laden prairies, will
place Arkansas in the front rank of
Southern progress No State is richer
IN resources, or possesses more of the
elements of greatness.
Cumberland Gap is on the dividing
line between Southwestern Virginia
and Eastern Kentucky, and on the
Virginia side of the gap there is now
springing up town which promises
to be great manufacturing centre.
A half dozen railroads are being built
to the gap, and a number of iron
furnaces are already in course of cree
ton. Northern capitalists have made
very large investments there, and the
rise in mineral and timber lands has
been phenomenal.
