LYNCHBURG GOES WET.
A Majority OF Seven-ABig Boom In Roa
nnI1e and Other COunties.

LYNcHBURG, VA. January A. Special
After one Of the most bitter and exciting
campaigns ever witnessed in this city. the
local option election came Of to-day, result
ing in a majority for the 'wets' Of only
seven votes, the white and c0l0red vote being
about evenly divided between the two fac
tions. The total vote was 100 wet, and L.
702 dry. While there were no disturbances
the scenes around the polling places were
at times intensely exciting. The ladies had
established lunch counters in the neigbbor-
hood, and all day long furnished free rati0ns
to the cOlOred voters Of the dry ticket.
Until late in the afternoon the "drys"
had the decided advantage, but
the "wets" made a spurt towards the close
Of the polls. The "drys" will call for re-
count Of the vote. In the local option cleo
tiOn Of 1886 the "wets" won by nearly
twelve hundred majority.
A considerable boom took place yesterday
at Big Springs, Roanoke county. A land
and improvement company, TO be called the
Big Springs Company, was organized Judge
McLane, Of Roanoke, was elected president
and A. j. Dyerlie, Of Big Spring, vice
president. The company organized with
a capital Of $2OO,OO0. All the real
estate i'm and around Big Spring has
been bought up with one single
exception. Besides this all mineral lands
adjacent 10 the place nave been purchaser.
Blast furnaces and other industries will be
started there at once. The cause Of all TINS
is believed 10 be the extension Of the Valley
Railroad, by way Of Salem 10 that place,
and on TO Bristol or some point west, and
the doubling Of track Of the Norfolk and
Western Railroad.
During the past few days some wonderful
sales Of mineral lands have been made in
Pulaski and Wythe counties. William A..
Stewart sold his mountain land near
Wytheville 10 George ". Palmer and others
for Sl5O,OO0; George Zimmerman, Of same
county, sold his TO the Cr0zier Company, Of
Roanoke, for 100000; Mr.. sampson. of the
same county, sold his to Messrs. Dolby,
lnglesby 81 Son, same place for $33,OOO and
the same firm, with the addition Of George
W. Palmer, has bought the Stockton lands,
near Pulaski City, for the sum of 100000
The entire southwest is on boom and the
people are rejoicing.
