ENGINEERS AT WORK.
spying Out New Route 10 the
COaI-Ffelda.


COal-Ffelda.
FLOYD. VA, September 3.-(Special)-
Two gentlemen. giving their names al Will
liams and Graham. respectively. came
here last Friday from Stuart. Va. and
left next morning for Radford. These
gentlemen said they were civil engineers
looking over a route for n railroad from
Walters Ford. In Henry county to Rad
ford. Va. and while they did not disclose
what company they represented. II Is
surmised that they are working In the
interest OF an extension Of the Atlantic
and Danvile railroad to the coal fields
Of Southwest Virginia. 1t Is known that
a route from Walters Ford. up Shooting
creek. tributary Of Smiths river. would
cross the Blue Ridge at an elevation
not exceeding 600 feet from the bed OF
Smiths river. eleven miles from the top
of the mountain. Here. at Shooting Creek
Gap, the waters Of Smiths river and
Little river are in close proximity. being
not more than 100 yards apart. and as
Little river flows into New river few
miles above Radford this Shooting-Creek
Gap route is unquestionably the most
direct and practical route for the pro-
posed new line. The distance from Wal
er's Ford to Radford, as the crow fiies,
is fifty-four miles

tend a convention TO be held al Rocky
Mount on September 2ist TO nominate
senator for Floyd and Franklin and a
floater for the House OF Delegates for
the same counties. A resolution was Of
fered instructing the delegates for s. f.
Turner. the present noater. for the House.
This was opposed by the lone Populist In
the meeting. and the resolution so modt-
fed IA to merely express preference FOR
Mr.. Turner was passed.
From Appearances to-day this new
party will gain very few recruits In this
county and the same old fight between
Republicans and Democrats will be on
again. Mahone's device to get control OF
the State and have himself elected to the
United States Senate Is too apparent TO
deceive any one. and none but sore-heads
will take the bait
