OF the Latin-speaking races, Spain

Fortunes Under Hats.

Roanoke Times.)
Every young man in Roanoke. and
IN every other town for that matter,
carries his fortune under his hat. 1t
does not matter whether the hat he a
battered one of last years style or
the most fashionable style money
can buy, the fortune is there. Some
times it IS biggest under the batter
ed hat and more often than nrt it is
smaller under the latest style.
Many young man spends his life
in calculating what he would do if
he had capital. In the meantime
opportunities are Slipping through
bis fingers like dollars through the
hands of a spendthrift. He has the
most glittering of schemes, but they
don't materiallze, and he spends his
time in building castles in the air.
They entirely forget the fast that
the successful business men of the
world have been the architects OF
their own fortunes and have to thank
only their own pluck and persever
ance for their success in life. The
young man who today possesses an
average degree of pluck and persever-
auce can make MS fortune. There
are so many laggards in the race
that those who attend strictly to
business cannot help being success
ful.
Roanoke and Eastern Carolina are
today the best field for Young men
10 be found in the New World. The
majority of the men who have been
successful here are young men and
middle aged men. They work for
all they have, and they deserve all
they have gained.
These young men when they be-
gan their business careers had their
fortunes under their hats.
They have it there still and the
moment they loose the fortune under
the hat they will lose the fortnne in
their pocket.

The estimates of the population
and the increase IN population Of
four cities, as given out by the Cen
sus Bureau, afford a striking compar-
ison between the resources of the
two sections of this country.
The increase of population in
Albany, n. Y, IN ten years was
only 315 per cent, of Troy, n. Y,
6 so per cent, or Wilmington, Del,
44.6S per cent. Wilmington scored
a great advance, but even that ap-
pears small when compared TO
Atlanta's marvellous increase Of
70 IS per cent.
While the whole South will hardly
come up to Atlanta's high water
mark, yet there is every reason to
believe that the average increase il
population in the entire section will
be ahead Of that of anv other section.
It is no ftful start, but a healthy
growth. "Spurts" don't last for ten
years. Speculative fevers die out
is less than decade. Ten years of
steady progress is the clear evidence
of material wealth.

that plenty of fresh air should b.

For effecting resuscitation, alcohol
was pronounced absolutely unsafe
and digitalis vaIueless, subcutaneo Gus

respiration being the great restorative
agents. Instances were given of re-.
covery after the practice of artificial
respiration for 2, 4, 8, and even "a

This is down 40 feet. Shaft No. 2 is
down rs feet, and shows an average

Shaft No. 3 is down 50 feet, and
Mr.. Atkinson Is now driving west from
the bottom. The drift is in 20 feet,
the face being in very favorable
ground, and giving every indication
OF the proximity of an ore body. This
is where M. Atkinson intends to do
the most of the work this winter, as it
is here that he looks for his largest

The main tunnel is in 100 feet on
the ledge, and shows ore. A length
OF about 20 feet has been stopped and
dsnuded of ore, with very satisfactory
results, and there is some moro in
