A STATEMENT OF FACTS.

The present edition of TIE TIMES.
10000 in number, is prepared with II
view of presenting to New England
readers fair and true idea of the de-
velopmcnt of Roanoke and Southwest
Virginia. This section is growing in
wealth. population and Importance with
Il rapidity which can hardly be realized
even by those who are here on the
ground.
Judge the reasons why it grows. 1t
has mild yet bracing climate. due to
the happy combination of a southcrly
temperate zone and IL considerable alti-
tude. 1t has all the minerals requisite
for making iron in close proximity. The
class of people, who are drawn here by
these opportunities. arc of the most
progressive types in the country. The
industries which are being developed
arc not experimental. Tho transporta-
ton OF trained and experienced opera
tors from other and less favored sections
To this gives assurance That no 'ungling
beginners are at the helm of industrial
affairs.
Here is u region where every lcgiti-
mate industry pays. and pays largely.
where competition is merely stimulat-
ing and not ruinous, and where labor is
we'll paid and contentcd.
All branches of iron manufacture
yield large profits. In fact. every line
of manufacturing is lucrative. Builders
make fortunes surely and quickly. No
field is crowded. Every branch of
Wholesale trade in the necessary ar
ticlcs of life can expand and be sure of
profitable returns.
The special field which THE TIMES
seeks to occupy is to bring idle and un-
proftably employed capital to this sec
ton, which can readily absorb and use
it, and to then furnish the owners of
such capital reliable information as to
the condition Of their investments.

CALL THE MAss-MEETING.

The movement to hold a mass-mcct-
ing Friday night in favor of an extern
sion of the Baltimore and Ohio Valley
branch to Roanoke is timely. The re-
port to the stockholders meeting held
in Baltimore yesterday indicates that
the road is now nearing a position in
which it can place from ten to fifteen
millions OF additional stock To advan-
tagc.
If this Is So there Is every reason to
suppose tihaU the comparatively small
sum needed to extend the Valley branch
via Salem to Roanoke can be set apart
for this purpose. since beth baltimore
and this whole region are Il unit in it's
favor.

interested in iron ores.
The concentrations OF magnetic iron

ward as to make it almost impossible
to correctly Judge as to what il means
and what it will lead to.
II means placing tho manufacture of
pig iron in Virginia on an infinitely
higher plane than it has ever occupied
before. 1t means the successful utiliza-
ton of thousands upon tens OF thousands
of tens of olco thai are now untouched
or discarded. II means that mines can

A Change Demanded.

The soldiers are asking for a pension.
They say that they have saved the nation
and are therefore entitled TO a pension.
It is but just, that the poor and needy
soldier should receive pension but from
what source should II be drawn. Justice
demands that it should not be drawn
from those that are poorer than himself.
II should not be drawn from the farmers,
the laborers, or the mechanics who with
the greatest economy cannot make a liv-
ing for themselves and families. 1t
should be drawn from those who own all
the money and the greater part of all the
real estate of the nation. They are the
men for whom the soldier fought, bled
and died. They are the men for whom
the country was saved from dlsmember-
ment not for the masses Of the people
who are slaves. Doslaves own country
The soldier has not saved the country
even for himself, for il he had, he would
not be in such Strengthened circumstanc-
es The country was saved for the bond
holders, Wall street brokers, railroad
trusts, national bankers, money kings
who have made all their wealth through
unjust laws passed by congress, for the
special benefit of thieves. We must
have an income tax, a graduated income
tax, from which the soldier shall draw
his pension.
Was 1t ever known that physician
prescribed the blood to be drawn from an
emaciated skeleton and transfused into
the veins Of healthy robust personH
Yet that lswhat our congressional doctors
have been doing. They have drawn the
life blood Of the nation from the veins
of its exhausted slaves and transfused II
into the veins Of the national bankers,
bondholders, railroad corporations and
salary grabbers. The current must be
changed. Il must be drawn from the
plethoEic veins of the millionaires by a
graduated income tax and transfused In
to the veins Of the emaciated soldier TO
give him life and vitality. Let It be an
issue to draw the b)ldiers pension from
an income tax levied on those who own
the nation, and who have amassed col
lossal fortunes by iniquitous legislation
Before the rebellion, the white race we're
free men, each one sitting under his own
vine and fig tree, none daring TO make

negro's bonds have been burst assunderp
