MASSEY GETS BACK AT JONES.

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 5.-Hev. John e.
Massey, of Richmond, Va, publishes a
card here replying to some criticisms
made by Rev Sam. Jones. Mr.. Jones
wrote some salty things about Parson
Massey recently and now the latter is
back in peppery style. Were they not
gentlemen of the cloth the correspond
ence could reasonably be expected to
lead to hostilities.
MIR. Massey says: II care but little
about Mr.. Jones hypocritical cant, his
self-laudations or his bombastic boast.
ings. They are part and parcel of him
He would not be Sam Jones' without
them. 1t is as natural for him to sound
his own praise as it is for sparks to
ascend"
Referring to certain statements made
by Mr.. Jones, Mr. Massey remarks:
II will not characterize these mis-
statements as ISLANDERS as that would be
equivalent to charging the Rev Sam
Jones with making false statements
maliciously, but l will say it requires
the exercise of an unusual degree of
charity to believe he did not know
these statements we're untrue and that
they did great injury to those of whom
be writes"

Nearly all the members of the gen-
eral assembly have arrived and were in
attendance upon the caucuses. The
lobby OF the Exchange Hotel was filed
with people TO night after the caucus,
who were discussing the result and com.
menting upon the sensational fight
which is to follow.
The fight is on in dead earnest, but
there is little or no change in the sisua-
oiOu' SCn. VIZ btS, uOLuhS .. vi ar
tin and Senator Hunton have their head
quarters in the Exchange. The two
hrst'named gentlemen are here, AID
Hon. Eppa Hunton, Jr., is in charge OF
his fathers canvass. Among those who
are helping Lee are Miles M. Marting,
ex- Attorney General Rufus A. Ayres
and G. V. Meredith. Tom Martin is
being assisted by Senator James Hay,
Hon John Is. Moon and others.
The next most interesting fght is
that for sc cretary OF the commonwealth,
in which Judge Flournoy is opposed by
Hon. Joseph L. Lawless, OF Portsmouth.
A small-sized army from the second dis
trict came up with Mr. Lawless last
night and they are working like beavers
| for the youthful ex-senator. The friends
Of Lawless claim eighty-hve votes,
twenty more than enough to nominate,
and Judge East, who handled Colonel
| O'Ferrall's canvass so successfully. has
made wager that he would get this
vote.
The question OF selecting judges for
the supreme court OF appeals vii, also
be OF more than unusual interest From
the five judges to be elected one is re-

THE RAILWAY PROJECT.
More Subscriptions Are Needed to Carry
This Enterprise Through.

More Subscriptions Are Needed to Garry
This Enterprise Through.
Subscriptions to the capital stock of
the Roanoke Railway Construction
Company are coming in more slowly
rectors think the Importance OF the
proposed plan to the city would war
rant. The originators of the scheme
firmly believe the road will BIO built,
and that it will be done within the
year 1894, but they realize tho stern
fact that the plan, favorable to Roanoke
as it is, Will fail through unless the
business men of the city imm ediately
subscribe as much as they are able to.
The Impression seems to have gotten
abroad that inasmuch as the road is
almost an absolute necessity to the
prosperity OF the Magic City, the sapi-
talists and the wealthy corporations
will seiz, the golden opportunity with
avidity and push the enterprise through
I his idea is fsllacious The co pora.
tions are giving with some liberality,
but the fact remains that unless the
people, the mass SEES, place their shoulders
to the wheel, Roanoke's chance for &C.
curing another trunk line and perhaps
two is gone for five or ten years at least
One OF the necessities for imme-
diate action is this: The directors and
other promoters of the enterprise have
been neglecting their personal affairs
and devoting their whole time to tho
matter for several weeks and it is be
lieved that unless the requisite amount
has been secured by January l. 1894,
tho plan will be abandoned.
One fact in connection with the build.
ing of the road is the increase that will
be made in the values in the city by the
completion of an additional trunk line.
1t has been estimated thai all the values
in Roanoke, real and personal, will
approximate $4,000, 900 and the most
conservative estimate of the increase ia
these values is 25 per cent.
Granting this to be true it can be
seen at once OF what great importance
the project will be to the citizens of the
city. This, however, is only one of the
many advantages that is claimed for
the road by it's friends.

long after the tariif has boon disposed of.
There was no positive action taken,
but the general drift of the talk OF SEN
ators who declined their force in secur-
ing the passage Of the Sherman law
repeal, showed plainly that there was TO
be no resurrection of silver legislation
and no pushing OF financial measures OF
any sort or character.
