GONE SOUTH, YOUNG MANI
President Harrison, on his tour through the
South, after having seen the wonderful.
growth OF Lynchburg, Bedford City, Roanoke,
Salem, Radford, Pulaski, wythevilean Abng-
don and the industrial development in progress
along tho line OF the Norfolk and Western
railroad and viewed the country of south
west Virginia, said in his speech to the people
at Bristol. Va.
MY Fellow Citzens have found not only
pleasure, but instruction in riding to-day
through the portion of the State OF Virginia
that is feeling in very striking way the i'm
pulse of now development. 1t is extremely
gratifying to notice that those hidden sources
of wealth which were SO long unobscrvcd and
so long unused arc nov being found, and that
these regions, once so retired, occupied by pas
toral people, having difficult access to the CEN
ter OF population, ere now being rapidly trans
cial ccntcrs. In the carly settlement Of this
country cmgrants poured over the Allcghanies
and Blue Ridge like waters over an obstruct-
ing ledge. seeking the fertile and attractive
farm regions of the great West. They passed
unobscrvcd these marvellous hidden stores OF
wealth which arc now being brought into use.
Having filled those great bnsns OF the
West, they are now turning back to Virginia
and West Virginia and Tennessee to bring
about the full development and production
for which time is ripe and which will surprise
the world. 1t has not been long since every
implement of iron, domestic, agricultural and
mechanical was made for you in other States.
The iron point.Of the wooden mold board pillow,
with which the carly farmers here turned the
soil, came from distant States. But now Vir-
gnta and Tennessee are stirring their energies
to participate in large degree in mechanical
productions and in the great awakening of
American commerce and American influence
which will lift the nation to place among
the nations of the world never before at
taincd.
What is 10 hinder us when we have secured
the markets Of our own states that we shall
reach out and enter into successful compcti-
ton In the markets of other parts OF the world?
say what is to hinder this people, possessing
by the providence Of God, all the clements of
material wealth; endowed with genius and
energy unsurpassed among the nations of the
earth, shall again have on the great seas mer-
chant marine flying the flag of the common
country and carrying its commerce into every
sea and upholding its honor in every port?
IL am glad to-day to stand for this moment
among you and to express my sympathy with
any and every interest that tends TO develop
you as people. / am glad to stand with you
on one common platform of respect for the
constitutions differing as some OF us may 60 in
our opinions rs to what the law should be and
how 1t should be applied; having in view one
common devotion of obedience to the law as
the majority OF our people, by their own repre-
scntativcs, make it.
Il shall carry away from here a renewed i'm
pulse to public duty; n new inspiration as
citizen, and that, too, of country whose great
ness is only dawning.
And now let me express to yOu the pleasure
shall have in every good that can come 10 you
us Il community, and to each OF you as inI-
viuials. May peace, prosperity and social
order dwell in all your families, and the fear
and love of God in every home"
