Industries.

Owing to the unlimited quantity of iron and
timber on this property, this is one of the best
locations in the country for manufacturers of
railway or street cars, carriages or wagons,
hubs, felloes and spokcs, axe handles, spades,
and shovels, portable houses, and cottages for
shipment elsewhere, tanneries, manufactures
of shoes, furniture, iron and woodenware, etc
Aid in all proper directions will be extended
to such enterprises as desire to establish plants
ON the lands of this company. Manufacturers
all over the country will be invited to inspect
this property with a view to locating their
works here. Rolling mills are now in course
of erection in the immediate vicinity, so that
castings of all kinds can be had at small cost

Development.

Lines have been surveyed through this
property for the Pittsburg, Virginia and
Southern, and for the Washington, Western
and Southwestern Railways, while a railroad
running through this property from Panther
Gap, on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad,
only eleven miles in length, would tap this
great ore and timber belt and furnish immedi-
ate, easy, and quick means not only of get
ting the iron and timber to Market but aid in
building up thriving town at the point in
dicated There is vast quantity of timber
suitable for cross-ties on the property, and the
grade of the valley being very easy, the ex-
pense of constructing such road would be
small, and would insure railway communica-
tion with this beautiful valley, with its mighty
forests of timber, its great ore beds and stone
quarries, its health-giving springs and its
salubrious climate.

Hotel, Lake and Boulevard.

On the side of Walker Mountain, and over
looking this beautiful valley, is the lake re-
ferred to above, from whence a town at the
terminus of this road would draw its supply of
pure water.
On the top of Walker Mountain, and in view
of this town, is the level plateau referred to,
where it is the intention of this company to
lay out GRAND BOULEVARD to extend
the whole length of this plateau, (about nine
miles.) About the centre ond near this lake
will be built an ELEGANT HOTEL, while
the land on either side of the boulevard will
be subdivided into villa Sites rendering this
one of the first summer resorts in Virginia.

In Little Mill Creek Valley there is grand
location for thriving town. In both Walker
and Mill Mountains there exist native beds of
the finest iron ore, together with best quality of
limestone for fiuxing. Quarries of stone, to-
gether with timber for building purposes, are
tain, and in sight, is lake of the purest
water, of sufficient volume and pressure to
supply the wants of large town. AS this
lake is fed by never-failing mountain springs
1t can always be relied upon.
consider the capitalization of this COM
pany $500, ,OOO) very low. For, while other
companies in this immediate vicinity are capi-
talized at from $40 to $500 per acre, the capi-
talization of this property, 41,273 acres,
amounts to less than $15 per acre.

Capital Stock.

OF the capital stock of 100000, $4,000 in
stock has been applied in part payment for the
property $5OO,OOO of stock will be sold, of
which 100000 will be placed in the treasury
of the company to be devoted to the develop
ment of the property, as the stockholders,
through the board, may direct; the balance of
100000 will be applied to the payment in full
of the property and the expenses of the organi-
zation. The stockholders will thus receive the
property free of all membranes, with
100000 in cash in the treasury of the COM
pany.

Extra Inducements to Pur-
chasers of Stock.

Purchasers of fifty (5O) shares will, in addi-
ton to their stock, be given, free of charge. a
deed to villa site on Walker Mountain the
future summer resort Of Virginia. Clubs sub
scribing for fifty shares will receive the same
benefits as single individuals.
When it is remembered that the stock of this
company will be taken at so per cent. above
par in payment for lots in any of the towns to
be laid out by the company, the inducements
offered to investors by the Bath Iron and Tim
Der Company will be found to be liberal to an
extraordinary degree. Especially is this so
when taken in connection with the fact that.
independent of the iron and timber. or any i'm
provements to be made hereafter, the land is
to-day worth more than the entire capitaliza-
tion, as each share of stock, costing but $40,
represents nearly an acre of the company's
property.
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-04-05
Climate and Soil.

No healthier spot can be found on the hab-
liable globe than on any portion of this vast
property. 1t is free from the excessive heat
in the South; it is at the same time so situated
as to be protected from the rigorous winters of
the North.
In these fertile valleys abundant crops can
be raised, and it will only be question of
few years when this property will be teeming
with happy and prosperous people.
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-04-05
Location of Property.

The property is located near Goshen, on the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, in the midst of
the finest iron ore belt in the world. In the
vicinity are located the celebrated Victoria,
Longdale, and Lowmoor furnaces, all running
to their utmost capacity, and turning out daily
hundreds of tons of iron of the finest quality
marketed 1t is probably only question of
short time when furnaces of equal or greater
capacity will be located on this property.
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-04-05
Resources.

The royalties received upon the Ores and all
moneys derived from the sales of timber, tan
bark, cross-ties, or from the sale of town lots
or villa sites, and of such portions of the land
as it may be deemed expedient to dispose of,
will raise fund sufficient to guarantee liberal
dividends on the stock of the company, and at
the same time increase largely the fund for the
development of the property.
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-04-05
Management.

Competent managers will be employed by
the company to develop this property, who
under the supervision and direction of the
Board of Directors, elected by the stockholders,
will contract with mining companies to mine
portions of the ore on a royalty, while con-
tracts will be made with owners of saw-mills
for cutting timber, etc.
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-04-05
Payments for Stock.

Shares are $40 each, payable as follows: 81
per share at the time of subscription, 81 per
share on April Is, and 81 monthly until paid
in full; or 10 per cent discount for all cash.
When paid in full as above the stock becomes
non-assessable, and there is no personal liabil-
ity to the stockholders for the debts of the
company.
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-04-05
Timber.

The timber, consisting of White Oak, Red
Oak, Chestnut Oak, Hickory, Poplar, Hem
lock, White Pine, Cherry, and Walnut is of
the very finest and is easily marketed.
1t is believed by competent judges that the
cross-ties, timber, and tan-bark on this prop
erty will yield sum several times greater
than the capitalization of the company, while
the lands, after the timber is removed, will be
exceedingly valuable.

BELMoNTs SUPERSTITION.

New York Sun.
The late August Belmont once told
the writer, on the Monmouth race track,
that his horses would not win because a
flock of blackbirds had crossed his path
that morning. 81 saw the blackbirds in
the field" he related, "and said to my
self, If they fly across 1 shall lose.' So
l walked my team carefully carefully.
But mol Just as 1 came opposite, the
birds flew in front of me, wheeled about
and crossed me again. shall not go to
the stable. 1 have sent for my trainer
to tell him it is of no use trying to win
to-day"
At another time he was in radiant
spirits because little bird had flown
into his bathroom and allowed itself to
be fed. 81 shall have good luck?" he
exclaimed "Wait and you shall see."
That day he won three principal races.
Indeed curious phase of his supersti-
tions was that they generally turned out
to be correct. When he felt that he was
going to lose he did lose; when he
imagined that he would win he did win.
This may be explained by coincidence,
or by the fact that his trainer and jockeys
were shrewd enough to humor his whims,
knowing that he would rather justify
his superstitions than capture a race.
But whatever the explanation, the fact
that such a man should be subject to
such caprices is wonderful.

RELIGIOUS
LIBERTY IN SOUTH AMERICA.

LIBERTY IN SOUTH AMERICA.
New york Mail and Express.
Telegraphic dispatches from Roma,
dated January Is, announce that the
Pope has appointed commission to
study the religious situation of the South
American republics, with the view of
recognizing the episcopateson a system
similar to that prevailing in Brazil,
which is based on common law and re-
ligious liberty, and that the Pope is of
the opinion that the church has every
thing to gain by claiming simply reign
of liberty for all.
The attention of this Commission is
respectfully called to the fact that there
is at-ehe prcscnT time in prison In Cal
lao, Peru, man who has been restrain
ed of his liberty and kept in dungeon
for nearly six months on allegations
brought against him by the Roman
Catholic authorities, his grievous offense
beingsthat he has preached the Gospel in
a private house and administered Christ
ian rites according to his conviction of
truth. He was not arrested at the in

any belief on their part that he was a
dangerous man, against whom society
needed to be guarded. 1t is simply a
case of religious persecution and intoler
ance, and the whole responsibility for
this outrageous violation of personal
liberty rests with the bishops and priests
of the Roman Catholic Church, who are
straining every nerve to prolong his i'm
prisonment. 1t is high time that the
the clergy who look to the Pope as their
spiritual head should come into line
with the political and social situations
of their respective countries, and here is
case which calls for immediate action.

"IF," says that great and highly re-
spected journal, the London Financial
Times, ''the men who are clamoring for
free coinage carry the day it will be a
Punic boon to the country and a bad
thing for silver itself. In fact, from a
bi-metallic point of view, it will be the
worst event that could possibly happen.
Hitherto the United States has held the
power to bring about bi-metallic agree
ment among the nations. 1t could say
to France, Austria, British India, and
other silver-u using States, that if some
thing were not done to restore the met
al to its old position as secondary stand
ard of value it would flood the market
down to depreciation of so per cent.
This kind of bluff would have been
the right course for the Americans to
pursue, and they did bluff, but not the
right parties. Instead of bluffing for
eign governments interested in the
maintenance of the silver values, they
allowed themselves to be bluffed by their
own silver ring. Instead of trying to
force other countries to make a market
for their silver, they have made the
United States an open market for the
silver of the world, and not only mar
ket but veritable hospital. Any sill
yer mine in Mexico, Bolivia, Australia
or any other part of the world, which
would have been. dead broke if left to
the mercy of supply and demand, can
now live and flourish on the American
mint. 1t is species of benevolent lu-
macy never before exhibited in the his
tory of the country"

AN OBJECT LESSON.

UDlo state Journal.
The Farmers Alliance people in Ohio
and elsewhere, who favor non- partisan
ship in the conduct of its affairs, should
turn their eyes to North Carolina where
the last example of how not to do it is
afforded. In Georgia and Alabama
where the farmers had enough members
to elect their candidates for United
States Senator they were captured by
regular Democratic organization, and in
North Carolina the exhibition has been
repeated. North Carolina is the home
of President Polk and it must be sur
missed that he is acquainted with all the
features of the canvass leading up to
the denomination of Hon. Zeb Vance.
In this State, as in Georgia and Ala
bama, the farmers had sufficient votes
to seriously embarraSs Senator Vance's
reelection, but when the occasion re-
quired their farmer members, who were
Democrats first and Alliance men after
ward, came promptly to the front and
cast their ballots for the bourbon
candidate, who notoriously represents
the ultra wing of the Confederate
Democracy.
The Associated Press dispatches from
Raleigh few days ago said: "The leg
islature is very largely composed of
members of the Farmers Alliance, but
they are conservative Democrats as
we'll" That was strictly true, and on
the first occasisn showed their true col
ors by voting for straight out Demo-
crat in preference to an Alliance man.
This latest instance shows that in the
South where Democracy prevails by the
superior argument of the shotgun and
of the ballot, the Alliance
movement is subordinate to the regular
Democratic organization, while in the
North where Republicanism and free
ballot obtain, as in Kaesas and Illinois,
the whole force of the Alliance move |
ment is to select straight Alliance candi-
dates and thus defeat the Republicans.
1t would be well for Ohio Republicans |
leaning toward the new organization to
keep an eye on the Southern wing Of
the Alliance and see how the scheme is |
being worked

THE people at Catherine, Ala, enjoyed
postal facilities for two weeks and then
their Office was abolished. Perhaps it is
not exactly correct, however, to say they
"enjoyed' their postal facilities. Ger
tainly they did not enjoy their Post
master, who was a negro. There is no
complaint that he mismanaged the office,
or that he could not read the addresses
correctly and hand out the mail to the
addresses, or that he read the postal
cards. They objected to him because he
was black, and they told him he must
leave or be killed. The Government
has investigated the case and placed II
conspirators, all prominent citizens" /"
under arrest, and the Office has been
abolished.

THE FREE COINAGE BILL.

The full text of the Free Coinage bill,
introduced by Mr.. Vest, and adopted by
the Senate, is as follows:
ga Bill to provide Against the Con-
traction of the Currency and for Other
Purposes.
"That from and after the date of the
passage of this act the unit of value in
the United States shall be the dollar, and
the same may be coined of 412a grains
of standard silver, or 25s grains OF
standard gold, and the said coins ahall
be legal tender for all debts, public and
private. That hereafter any owner of
silver or gold bullion may deposit the
same at any mint of the United States
to be formed into standard dollars or
bars for his benefit, and without charge,
but it shall be lawful to refuse any de-
posit of less value than 500, or any
bullion so base as to be unsuitable for the
operations of the mint.
"SECTIoN 2.-That the provision of
section three of AN. Act to authorize
the Coinage of the Standard Silver
Dollar and to Restore Its Legal Tender
Character which became law February
%, 1873, is hereby made applicable to
the coinage in this Act provided for.
"SECTIoN 3.-That the certificates
provided for in the second section of

ANDREW JACKSON was a pretty good

ANDREW JACKSON was pretty good
protectionist. Sixty years ago he wrote,
concerning the taxation of imports:
"This authority having entirely pass
ed from the States, the right to exercise
it for the purpose of protection does not
exist in them, and, consequently, if it
be not possessed by the general govern
ment, it must be extinct Our political
system would thus present the anomaly
of people stripped of the right to fos-
ter their own industry, and to counter
act the most selfish and destructive pol
icy that might be adopted by foreign
nations. This surely cannot be the case;
this indispensable power, thus surren-
dered by the States, must be within the
authority on the subject expressly dele
gated to Congress.
"In this conclusion l am confirmed
as well as by the opinions of Washing
ton, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe,
who have each repeatededly recommend
ed the exercise of this right under the
Constitution, as by the uniform practice
of Congress, the continued acquiescence
of the States, and the general under
standing of the people"

THE original Senate finance bill was
voted down Wednesday of last week,
clause by clause, and the free coinage
amendment passed by decided ma
jority. Senator Sherman gave up the
fight at the first vote and the silver men
had pretty much their own way about it.
But when Senator Plumb put in green
back amendment it was too much, even
for some of the silver men, and it was
defeated. There is some chance yet
that the free silver measure will be de-
feated in the House.

ADVICE TO A YOUNG MAN.

The following quaint advice, by Bur-
dette, has the 'pith of truth" in it:
Remember, son, that the world is old
er than you are, by several years; that
for several thousands of years it has
been so full of smarter and better young
men than yourself that their feet stuck
out of the dormer windows; that when
they died the old globe went whirling
on, and not one man in ten million went
to the funeral, or even heard of the
death.
Be as smart as you can, of course.
Know as much as you can without
blowing the packing out of your cylin-
der-heads; shed the light of your wisdom
abroad in the world, but don't dazzle
people with it, and don't imagine a
thing is so simple because you say it is.
Don't be too sorry for your father be-
cause he knows so much less than you
do; remember the reply of DR.. Wayland
to the student of Brown University who
said it was an easy enough thing to
make proverbs such as Solomon wrote:
"Make few" tersely replied the old
man. And we never heard that the
young man made any. Not more than
two or three, anyhow The world has
great need of young men, but no greater
need than young men have of it. Your
clothes fit you better than your fathers
fit him; they cost more money, they are
more stylish, your mustache is neater,
the cut of your hair is better, and you
are prettier, oh, far prettier than spa"
But young man, the old gentleman gets
the biggest salary, and his homely,
scrambling signature on the business
end of check will drain more money
out of the bank in five minutes than
you could get out with ream of paper
and a copper-plate signature in six
Young men are useful, and they are
and we all love them, and
we couldn't engineer picnic success
fully without them. But they are no
novelties, son. Oh, no, nothing of the
kind. They have been here before. Do
not be so modest as to shut yourself
clear out; but don't be so fresh yon will
have to be put away in the cool to keep
from spelling. Don't be afraid that
your merit will not be discovered. Peo-
pie all over the world are hunting for
you, and if you are worth finding they
will find you. A diamond isn't so east
ly found as quartz pebble, but people
search for it all the more intently.
