NO WESTERN FEVER NOW.
For the past fifty years tho idea

OF tho East that they had to go
West to make their fortunes. We'll.
they went West. Some have made a
very good living others have struck
decided eye-openers. They went
past tho very things they wofo seek

Grafton they have found out their
mistake, and the tide of immigration
is now flowing Eastward. We no
longer hear the cry, "We are going

place in Virginia to locate in?n
If those who won't West had re
mained In Virginia and worked a
hard. suffered as many deprivations
and exercised ms much economy as
they had to do in tho West in order
to make only a moderate living, they
would today be men of comfortable
fortunes.
1t is an admitted fact that the mn
jority of those who went West tspent
all they had and lived in the most
impoverished manner in cndeavoring
to keep soul and body together.
No such circumstances as those
surround the gathering of wealth in
Virginia. With the exercise of ordi.
nary industry, economy and pru.
dence, any man in Virginia could al
ways have enough and to spare. And
the present marvellous development
OF Virginia presents unequaled op.
portunitics and makes the effort of
money getting even easier and surer
than ever before, and is destined to
place her, within few years, in the
fore front of manufacturing States.

healthfnl climate, practically mex.

character, fertile soils and immense
bodies of the best timber, extensive
and complete railroad facilities con-

WATTERsoN's interview in the New

troversy about that letter. Referring TO

advice with contempt Governor Nm Il
man Of great tinesse but he is not a
great man. Mr.. Watterson said rather
bluntly:
AS It is. be will 60 into the Senate and
De lost. He Is nothing but GOOD
organizer, anyhow. OF course he's a
bright, level-headed man, but he's NOT Al
orator or debater. There are plenty on
men in the Senate who will overmatcb
Morgan, Gray, Voorhees,, Reagan
george, Butler He will lose control Of
the machine, and that will be the end Of
him.
That is true as it was said. Mr.. Wat
terson does rot mean that Mr.. HIll will
not make a good, ssrviceable Senator. but
be means that he viii be 'distanced in
the race" when he contends with such
men as Gray, Morgan ard Butler. There
are few men in the country who could
stand shoulder to shoulder to those
intellectual giants. II is not that
Hiu is below the average but because
they are above it. There is nothing in the
Watterson incident to excite the temper
ol.the Hill men. He has simply told the
truth. He is big enough man to tell
mat to any man in this country. and he
deserves as much attention from the
Democratic party as any man in
