A TOUR OF INSPECTION

BY the Head of the Great Amsterdam
banking House of Boissevain s. Co.
The visit Of Joseph l. Doran, general
solicitor of the Norfolk and Western, to
Europe seems to he bearing fruit. THE
TINES made the exclusive statement
his trip was to secure the additional
funds needed to carry out the extensive
plans of development contemplated by
the sagacious managers of the corpora
ton he represents.
Immediately upon reaching the CONT
nent Mr.. Doran proceeded to Amster-
dam and laid the matter before BoissC-
vain & Co., the well-known bankers,
who represent the financial interests of
the Norfolk and Western in Europe. As
result of his interview, Mr.. A. A. IL.
Boissevain, tho head of the house,
started at once for America. He is in
the habit of making yearly trips to this
side, but came this year earlier than
usual.
Landing in New York he proceeded
at once to Philadelphia, when he met
President Kimball and other prominent
Norfolk and Western officials. Presi-
dent kimball's private car was placed
by way of Hagerstown and the Valley
branch early yesterday morning, accom-
panied by Major Bryan and one or two
others.
at this point they were joined by
Vice-President Eddy, and about II
o'clock the party left for the West, max
ing several stops en- route to examine
the company's properties.
They will spend to-day in going down
the North Carolina division to the Great
Outburst, and then returning, go up
the Clinch Valley division. If the in
spection is completed the party will
turn back Sunday morning.
1t is the object of Mr.. Boissevain's
visit to become thoroughly posted by
personal inspection as to the develop
ment OF Southwest Virginia during the
past year. and as to the wisdom of the
Norfolk and Western plans of construc-
ton and development. Satisfied in
this, as he unqucstionably will be, tho
great house of Boissevain & Co. will see
to it that the necessary funds are forth
coming-and there arc millions in it..

by reclamation, but under the circum-
stances he can hardly expect large
majority of the party to give up their
views and adopt his policy.
Senator Coke, of Texas: Tho Demo
cratic party is irrevocably committed to
free silver, and of course Mr.. Cleveland
can not be nominated in 1892.
Senator Berry, of Arkansas: Cleveland
can not be nominated in 1892. | am
sorry that this is so, because l have a
high admiration for his courage and
ability.
Senator George, of Mississippi: Cleve-
land believes free silver Is wrong, and
he does not hesitate to say so. If he is
satisfied that he is right he displays his
characteristic courage in saying So
Senator Gray, of Delaware: Just as l
expected; he has the courage of his con-
victions.
O Senator Faulkner, of West Virginia:
-Four -fifths of the Democratic party be-
lieve in free silver. AS tho party is
unanimous on the question of tariff
reform, Cleveland has made the silver
question the ono on which the next
campaign will have to be fought.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama: I deeply
regret that Mr.. Cleveland cannot BIO
nominated by the Democratic party.
His attitude on the subject of free
silver, which is to he the issue of the
next campaign, has killed his chances.
Senator Vance, of North Carolina:
Mr.. Cleveland has defied his party, and
his attitude is not only one of defiance,
but almost insult. 1t is now a question
whether the Democratic party will sac
rifice its principles or give up Mr..
Cleveland. For my own part I prefer
my party to Mr.. Cleveland.
Mr.. Cleveland is undoubtedly an able
and honest man, but he lacks the dis
erection which is an essential of success
full political leadership.

An Old Hunter Who Was a Little To

An Old Hunter Who Was a Little Too
Grasplng.
John Davis was Il famous turkey
hunter in Southern Ohio few years
ago. He caught hundreds of the birds
every year, and was said to be possessed
of quite II handsome property accumu-
lated in this way. One of his favorite
methods of capturing his game was by
what he called "spring trap" This
was small Lighthouse, with big door
which shut with spring, managed by
the hunter.
trail of corn was laid from the door
for quarter of mile into the bushes.
The unsuspccting turkeys would follow
this track of corn, and march inside,
when presto! the door closed with q
snap, and they were caught.
One day Mr.. Davis was attending the
door OF this spring trap, when, to his
delight he saw twenty fine. large tur-
keys approaching. They came up to
the entrance. The first one ventured
in, then the second and the third, and
SO on until nineteen were in the log
house. The twentieth bird fingered,
and Mr.. Davis waited, 10th to close the
door without him.
He was sure of nineteen, but the last
one was fine fellow, and he couldn't
bear the thought OF losing him.
While he waited, one of the turkeys
inside stuck its head out of the door,
and then hoped out
Hell go back in minute, an the
other one with him." thought the hunt
er; but instead of that, Il second one
came out, and while the hunter waited
for them to go inside another came
through the door. 1t would certainly
be too bad to spring the trap now, and
SO Davis waited-and every turkey but
one came out!
oval, I'll make sure O him." said the
hunter to himself, and he sprung the
door.
''That's bout as silly a performance IS

turkeys" said the old man, in telling
the story aftcrward. "That's the time

A BOOMING TOWN
WYTHEVILLE

Advances In the race OF progress
Called the Saratoga of the South. In
dustries nearing completion and con-
emplated. It's churches and schools.
The scenery surrounding magnificent.
Wytheville's boom is attracting the
attention of the country.
Wythe county is noted Tor it's blue
grass and fine herds and rich agricult-
ural area. 1t embodics the mountain
scenery and climate and fine mineral
waters of Asheville, n. c., with iron
and coal vastly superior to Birmingham,
in the midst of an agricultural soil uni
vcrsally superior to either. Located
upon the Norfolk and Western railroad,
half way between Roanoke and Bristol,
the former OF which is situated upon
the eastern border and the latter the
western border of the great upland
mineral basin known as Southwest Vir-
GINA. The proposed Virginia and Ken
lucky railroad, on which work will be-
gin soon, crosses the Norfolk and West
ern at this point. The Parkersburg,
Little Kanawha and Virginia railway
has also decided to build the proposed
connecting link between the Black Dia-
mond system and the Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley via Wytheville, making
Wytheville competing railway centre
These lines will bring tho Gossan ores
of Carroll, the mountain ores of Bland
and the limonite ores of Cripple Creek
and New River and the coal fields of
Wythe, Bland and tho Flat Top to-
gether at Wytheville, making it the
great iron and trade centre of Southwest
Virginia.
New factories and industries are be-
ing located every week, among which
are two hotels costing 100000 each
Steel Range and Stove Factory Sl25, 900,
while applications for sites are con-
stantly coming in. The Wytheville
Manufacturing Company, organized with
dozen hands few months ago, engage
ing in the building business, has in
creased its force to rs hands, with
twelve months work ahead engaged,
and will now increase their force to $50
hands. Streets are being graded every
where, rail sidings for factories, while
every movement goes to Indicate that
tho place will be the growing industrial
town of 1901. The Wytheville Develop
ment Company, the pioneer mover in
the good work, owing IT'S acres of land,

property, beginning September 3Oth,
when all tho lots offered were soon
taken up, and to meet a growing demand
for purchasers 300 more lots will be Of
fered December 18th and 18th, intrin-
sicily considered as valuable perhaps as
that of any company being offered in
Virginia, yet at prices extremely reason
able, which it is earnestly hoped will
encourage actual settlers rather than
lot speculation.

NOW SUBSCRIBE.

The canvassing committee engaged
in soliciting subscriptions to the S75, 900
needed to secure the shelf hardware
manufacturing company made siren
uous effort yesterday to narrow the gap.
They made Indifferent Roadway.
1t may be as well to look this matter
squarely in the face. Two score of
men and firms have been doing about
all the lifting which has been done in
the important matter of securing new
industries for Roanoke.
VIII any one figure out how many
people will be benefited by having this
important industry come to Roanoke?
Every land holder in Roanoke will be
benefited, for the value of his property
will be increased. Every real estate
operator will be benefited, for his
market will be quickencd. Every real
estate agent will be helped, for the
bare announcement Of the fact that the
industry has been secured will treble
the activity of exchanges. Every bust
ness man will find more customers for
his goods.
The Real Estate Exchange has done
nobly and has not yet ceased from do
ing, but it would be unfair to expect
it to do all. II has already borne the
brunt.
We appeal to every citizen who can
plainly see that securing this industry
will increase his business OF the value
of his property to at once como forward
with his subscription. This is no dona-
ton party, but shrewd investment.

AN UNNECESSARY LETTER.

No matter of recent date is making
such a stir in political circles as ey
President Clcvclands letter to f. Ellerv
Anderson. in which the former puts
himself on record as opposed to the free
coinage of silver and predicting disaster
in case of its adoption.
The effect among tho Democratic
leaders at Washington was startling.
Senator Mcpherson, of New Jersey, is
one OF the few Democrats who support
the eX-President, but scores of Demo-
cratic Representatives in the House
have no hesitation in saying that by
unnecessarily going out of his way to
attack free coinage the ox-Presiden
has made himself unavailable for re-
nomination in 1892.
In thu Senate the Democrats arc even
more pronounced. Senator Barbour
says:
81 have never regarded Mr.. Cleveland
as pratical statesman, and his views
on the silver question confirm my origi-
nal opinion. He must have discerncd
that large majority of the people have
declared in favor Of free coinage, and, as
his views arc in the opposite direction,
he can hardly expect the Democratic
party to pander to his theories"
Senator Daniel follows:
"Mr. Cleveland is so directly opposed
to his party on The silver question that
he cannot be the party nominee"
Below arc several other opinions
which carry heavy weight as to the
Democratic position.
Senator Harris, Of Tennessee: The
Democratic party is committed to free
silver, and Mr.. Cleveland has greatly
endangered his prospects for the nomi
nation. If be had favored free silver
coinage he would have been nominated

AT dinner the Baron had his bottle Of

strolled into the office with gold tooth
pick in his mouth, sat down in promi-

he remarked in loud voice: 'If l had
