FRONT RoYAL. Va. Feb. 3. 1892.

FRONT ROYAL, Va, Feb. 3. 1892.
Richmond Times:
The speech of Richard Mccoy, of Riyerton.
before the Committee on Roads is attracting
a great deal Of attention in this section of the
State. Mr.. Mccoy who is one of the best
business men of the state and OF whom war,
rem is proud of as an adopted son has voiced
the business sentiment OF our community, as
we learn IL from expressions on every side. IN
his opposition 10 the Kent bill. The people
of Warren will indOrse heartily every WORD
he said. Mr.. Mccoy speaks facts which the
the farmers of Warren. and the counties no
speaks for will re-eco. -.
III. AS MIR. Mccoy says. the lime interests OF
the Carson Lime Works are hurt by TINS Dhl
and If. as the people of Warren county be-
lieye. it will cripple the railroads OF our sec
ton and the proposed line from our place TO
Washington by the Norfolk and Western
railroad shall in consequence be abandoned,
then the people of this portion OF the state
are fat-fOOted against 1t. In the last year
there have been built at Front Royal ana
Riyerton more than a half million dollars
worth OF houses. factories. &c. ard much or
this improvement has been due to the acllon
of the said railroad. The Valley OF Virginia
from HagerstOwn TO Bristol Is to-day one OF
tho most prosperous regions II the United
States, and its prospects are as bright rs
it is possible TO be and there IL
not a man. woman OF child along the line OF
the Norfolk and Western railroad who - not
grateful TO that road. and not a one VINO IS
not absolutely and Internationally opposed
TO ANYTHING which handicap such factors IN
our development. Where ten years ago there
were nothing but woods and %broomsage helds.
there are to-day fine, thrifty young cities
whose streets pulsate with active trade. Inc
Shenandoah Valley railroad, now a part OF
the Norfolk and We tern, Is now Tor the hrsl
rime in ia history paving expenses. and there
are plenty Of people who are grateful enough
for what it has done their community
10 wish it success and prosperity, and not now
place it in the hands OF a commission, who
NAV again cripple it. and thus Kill the goose
that laid the golden egg.
Yours. etc, II. 4.
