MIR. Harris, Plan Again.

Not enough attention has been given
the plan set forth by Mr. William E. Har-
ris, of this place, for the stimulation of
business and the easing of the money
situation. The plan in effect is that by
the proper kind of action, whether by the
bondhoIders Of the Big Stone Cap I'M
proyement Co., the stockholders, or both
combined, the stocks and bonds OF the
company shall be made receivable, the
stocks st some figure, and the bonds at
their unpaid face value, plus unpaid in
terest, in payment Of the land notes now
held by the trustee for the bondbolders.
The place has some drawbacks, ii is
true. 1T is useless, for instance, to talk
of having the stocks made SO receivable,
because in the present condition Of affairs
it has absolutely no value. Again, if the
arrangement with the bondholders should
require unanimous consent, it is killed in
advance, as there are some bondholders
who will not make move in any matter
-of public concern that does not promise
to be of benefit to their private pocket.
If set in operation, it is reasonable to
believe that the land notes, long past due,
by purchasers Of lots, would soon be paid
in bonds which they now own, or would
pick up here and there some $500, 1000, and
by next March some 100000. This
amount Of bonds being retired, the out
standing Indebtedness Of the company
would be, say $5O0,0 or 100000, and the
more it was reduced the more standing
and value would the stock have.
Again, by making the bonds receivable
in full or part payment of new purchases,
the sale of lots by the company and by
individuals would be revived, and that ad-
ditional life would be given to business.
New buildings, especially of a cheaper
class, for the furnace people would be set
going.
Further, by removing from the market
a lot Of bonds that always float around in
every project at low figure, the price of
the remainder would be strengthened and
prove much more available us a security.
Credit would be helped, and with that
help would come increased confidence.
Will, Confidence would come money, with
money business, and with bushes, happi-
ness to all.

Some Results of the Recent assignments.

Gov. Hill, of New York, has never APP
piled for or received any Of the money
due him as salary as United States Scna-
tor, says the Washington Post. He is le-
galy entitled to such salary since the 4th
dav of last March. 1t has been said by
those who claim to know that he would
not appropriate any part of that money to
his own use, but would cover it back iuto
the treasury-that portion oft at least
which accrued during the time he still re-
NAMED Governor Of New York. He has
manifested his indifference 10 bis Senate
rial honors in another way. He has nes-
er asked to he assigned seat in the SEN
atorial Chamber, One has been assigned
to him, however, by the Sergeant at
arms of the Senate. 1t is in the back
row On the Democratic side and is the
fifth seat in the row from the central aisle.
Perhaps no more undesirable location
could be selected in the Senate Chamber.

THE souTH,s PROGRESS.
Pressing Forward Steadily and Rapidly in
the Front Rank.

The Manufacturers Record OF this week
contains 4 summary Of all the new manu-
featuring enterprises organized in the
South since July !, 1891, which aggregate
247. Reviewing the progress of the South
for the last nine months, the Record says:
"The most trying period which the in
dustrial growth Of the South has ever en-
countered, and Doubtless The most trying
that ii viii exc. have TO face, has been
that covered 10y the last nine or ten months.
| would have been natural for a rapidly
developing section like the South. where
thousands Of ncw'enterprises were being
organized. or were under construction, TO
have felt the effect Of the fnancialtroubles
far more seriously than any other section,
but such has not been the case OF course
many enterprises just getting under way
when the panic came, have been halted,
and some have been abandoned, but this
has been mainly in the line of develop
mont aud town companies.
MAHuFAcroRIEs PROSPEROUS.
"The manufacturing enterprises in ope-
ration have gone along steadily. Banking
and general business operations, though
somewhat restricted in volume. have stood
the financial strain remarkably well. De-
spite the extreme depression in iron. the
Southern furnaces have generally been
running to their full capacity and making
some profit; the cotton mills have been
busy and in nearly every line of manu-
featuring there has been steady, sub
stanlial gain, even during the great none
tary strirgenoy. The way in which the
South has stood the strain has surprised
the financial world, and has materially
strengthened the confidence of capitalists
of the North in the great future of this
section. The panic is passing away, the
whole country is entering upon a period
of unprecedented prosperity, and in all
human probability the next two years will
be the most active in the industrial od-
vancement in the history OF our country.
In this great activity and prosperity the
South Will undoubtedly share. Its vast
resources will command the attention OF
canital, new furnaces and steel works will
be built, new cotton mills established,
new mines opened, many miles of railroad
built, and in every branch of its trade and
industry new activity will be felt

Virginia Press Association.

The Virginia Press Association has &C
cepted the invitation Of the Bristol Cham
Der Of Commerce to hold its annual ses-
sion in that city. The Association will
meet on November 18th, and will remain
in session for several days. This associa-
ton is composed of the large body Of the
newspaper men of Virginia, and the city
or town in which it holds its annual SEES
sion will derive much benefit from such
meeting Bristol is to be congratulated
on securing the association this year, and
the Posr hopes that she will not be too
selfish to allow the association to visit
this section.
An organized effort should lie made on
the part of the business men of Big Stone
Gap to secure the presence of the associa-
ton here for at least one day. A very
pleasant excursion could be arranged so
as to allow the newspaper men to visit the
mines in this vicinity, see our town, and
be properly entertained by a banquet, or
otherwise, all in one day. The arrange
meRts should he made, and invitations ex-
tended for this excursion at once. If this
is not done the committee for entertain
ment in Pristol will make such arrange
ments as viii fill all the time at the hands
of the association. We do not believe
that there will be any objection made in
. Bristol to the association coming to Big
Stone Gap, but on the other hand it will
receive favorable consideration there as
being a good way to make the Stay of the
associasioifsin Bristol more agreeable.
IF Big Stone Gap desires to have this
association prompt action must be taken.

Organize.

THERg is probably no district or county
in Virginia where the Democrats are less
organized than they are in this Senatorial
district, and in Wise County. There
to be little, il any appreciation Of
great benefits to be derived from a
aforoagh party organization. This lack
Of organization has more than likely been
thescause Of many of the defeats that
democracy has suffered here in the last
few years.
All political leaders recognize the i'm
portance of party organization, and few
of them would think forone moment of
entering into politicai contest until an
affective organization Of their respective
passies Ind been made. The Democracy
Of this Senatorial district has a hard hight
before 1t this year, and before it Is too
late. ti.e various counts committees should

There was commotion in one Of the
large dry goods stores up town Thursday
morning. 1t was caused by six or eight
hysterical shop girls, and was observed by
two customers who happened to be near
the linen counter. The commotion was
started by the discovery OF croton bug on
the counter The girl who discovered 1t
quietly brushed it of on the floor, whereat
another girl started TO step on it.
"Oh, don'tl'' screamed the first girl fran
tically, "You must never kill croton bug
that way"
mo! mol mol Never step on croton bug. "
exclaimed three or four voices In unison,
and several hands were stretched out to
pull back the daring girl. She paused and
impatiently asked. For goodness sake.
why nots"
because IL you step on croton bug it
will rain all the week, said one OF the girls
In an impressive tone of voice.
"Oh, pshawr' said the would be execu-
TONER of the bug, which meanwhile had
nestled in crack in the floor.
That's SO! Yes, indeed. | never knew
the sign to fail,' insisted three of the girls
excitedly, as they gently endeavored to
draw the skeptical girl back to her post oil
duty behind the counter. But she was uu-
convinced, and her hatred of croton bugs
was so much stronger than her supersti-
tious tendencies that she brought her foot
down with deadly effect, and met the in
diguant calculations of her mates with q
defiant "Well, let it rain."-New York
