WORTHY OF ALL ASSISTANCE.

The efforts Of the Young Mems Bus
mess League Of this city to secure the
location of plant here for the manu-
facture of horse shoes on an extensive
scale deserves liberal support from
the business men and property owners
The old rolling mill, on the purchase OF
which they have obtained an option of
sixty days, is admirably situated for the
business proposed, and the gentlemen
who are taking the lead in the matter
are we'll qualified to carry out the
scheme to success. Mr.. Gideon N
Caleb, president of the Chicago Horse.
shoe Company, with whom they are in
commune alton, is expected here to-
wards the latter part Of this week and
a public meeting to consider the matter
may be held on Saturday next.
The members of the league are en-
thusiastic on the subject, and all who
are acquainted with the wonderful pos
sibilities that may arise from the estab-
lishment Of such an industry here are
equally sanguiDe of satisfact tory results.
When 1t is remembered that there are
few plants in the United States where
horse shoes are manufactured by ma.
chinery and on large scale, the advnn-
tage to be derived by Roanoke from
such an enterprise becomes more ap-
parent We have all the iron needed,
and OF the best quality right at the
doors OF the proposed factory. and prac-
tically the whole South as a field for
trade, all that is needed to secure an
immense demand there as soon as the
right kinds Of shoes are made, being live
and progressive canvassers to introduce
them into the territory now so invit-
ing!y open.
The horse shoe is the emblem of good
luck, and as Roanoke's growth and
progress, until the general business de-
preston paralyzed industry every
where, was phenomenal, it would auRur
we'll OF further success for her to enter
the field OF material effort on the return
OF prosperity with a plant for the
manufacture Of these shoes upon an ex.
tenSlVe scale.
Her pluck and perseverance, is known
and admired all over the United States,
and her future is assured If the same
energy and liberality that has charac.
terized her people heretofore is dis
played. not only in the effort above
alluded to, but in any and every en-
deavor which will promote the public
welfare. There are already several In
dustries here that only wait the return
of prosperity to 60 forward with In
creasing success, and now that there is
chance for US to add another and q
great one to the list, it is the duty. OF
all to aid the new enterprise to the exs
tent OF their ability.

The Southern Farms.

An agent at Richmond, Va, reports
that he has had in sixty days 1900 in
quiries for farm lands coming from
every Northern and Western State and
from Canada, England, France and
Sweden. Fifteen per cent, or $50, of
the inquiries were from Pennsylvania,
about 10 per cent. each from New York
and Ohio. the numbers, respectively,
being 121 and 1913. The next highesi
State, GO, was Michigan and the next
Iowa and Illinois, 5s each. From this

the remote and destitute Northwest
that farmers are seeking to move
South, but from The older and weather.

AFFAIRS IN ARMENIA,
An Uprising Against the Turks Said to
be Organizing,


LONDON, April 1.-THE correspond
emit of The Associated Press, writing
from Armenia, from under date of
March Is, says; consider 1t to be my
duty, in connection with the nc ission
which has brought me to Asia Minor to
make public condition of the Armen-
ian question 80 serious and alarming
that the wo:k of tho Turkish commits
sion of inquiry, and even the details of
the SassOun massacre must seem Of
little comparative Importance.
Goaded into frenzy by tyranny and
injustice, and furious with grief and
rsgo over the awful butchery Of Sassoun,
Armenia nag resolved to strike blow
which Shall mean freedom or eXtcrmi-
nation.
Armenia is nov preparing for war.
The revolutionary party has both money
and guns. During the past eight weeks
money has poured into the revolutionary
treasury in a steady strenm from the
Armenian colonies in Russia and Persia.
The central idea of the plan of cans
paign is general uprising of Armer
mans throughout the Turkish empire
ct times during the months of May and
June. The leaders have promised the
people in the eastern part of Armenia
that the chief attack will be- made in
the city of Constantinople itself and
that the brunt of the fighting will be
borne by the Armenian residents
80 far "a to declare that the first attack
will be on the palace of the Sultan and
that the reign OF Hamid will come 10 q
sudden end.
The Armenians have at least 5000
Martini Henry rifles hidden in secret
places in the mountains, not great
distance from Lake Van. The caravan
routes are open, and revolutionary
agents and refugees are able to move
freely to and from Armenia as camel
drivers and attendants of mule trains.
For handful of unframed Armenians
to deliberately begin fight with the
300, 600 regular troops of the Turkish
empire, is folly too colossal for human
conception.
The purpose is not to bring Turkey to
terms in fair fight. but to secure q
settlement Of the quarrel by the inter
vention Of the European powers. Be-
fore the revolution is three months old,
the powers, it is believed, will be CONF
PEELED to take hand in the conflict, for
the cruelty, atrocity, the outrage, the
blood, lust and butchery Of the struggle
will be so unthinkabiy horrible that
Christian humanity will interfere.
Then Armenia, it is hoped, may get her
freedom, and the Turkish empire may
be torn limb from limb and thrown
piecemeal to it's expectant neighbors.
Thus there Ia possibility that Pales-
tine. the birthplace OF Christianity, may
at last come into the possession of a
Christian nation.
There is belief in Europe that Rus
i
sia's subjects by annexing the eastern
end Of Turkey.
AS the time for the revolutionary up
rising approaches the words of the Ar
menian Catholic, Monsignor Khrimian,
have an added significance: "Armenis
is In sore distress; but her sufferings
will soon be at an end"

OIL which lately scared 80 high in
the matter OF price has experienced o
decline, but whether these huctustions
are brought about by speculations, the
actual demands OF trade or the direct
pressure of the trust, the public may
not know for some time yet, as the pro-
duct is in the hands OF powerful
monopoly ready to resort to any game
to maintain it's supremacy and secure
It's profits. Foster d. Edwards, of
Boston, one of the leading representa-
tives Of the Independent oil interests in
the United States in giving his views on
the recent advance, said the immediate
cause was the limited supply; but tho
scarcity WAS brought about by the at
tempt of the trust TO crush its competi-
tors out of existence. In other word
the scarcity was made by the trust out
of its own superabundancs.

Tnr Nelson Plan.


The Nelson plan for revising our state
Constitution Is not likely TO capture many
of the friends and advocates of state
constitutional convention; but we think u
quite likely that It would meet with great
er favor II II were understood that the
commission suggested was 10 be elected
by the people rather than by the Lesssia-
ture.
Surprising that q commission OF htteen
were desired, one OF these could be taken
from each Of the congressional districts'
and five from the State at large, ana the
recommendation OF such a commission
would have more weight than would those
OF a legislative commission or committee
Yet II could not be expected that such
commission could do the work as thor-
oughly or as satisfactorily TO the people
as n convention OF one hundred members
However we must do Mr.. Nelson the
Justice to say that his scheme contem-
plates the appointment Of commission
to get the matter into such shape as
will permit u TO be intelligently consiuereu
by the public. His complaint is that AT
present the people have no fixed IDEAS
as to what changes are desirable. The
commission, Mr.. Nelson thinks. would
investigate and report as to what changes
are necessary.
There is one thing to be particularly
remarked In the matter OF revising our
Constitution, and that is this But lit
tie while ago the advocates Of convention
were few in number. Not a great many
persons admitted that the constitution
needed amending. The reverence for
Judge Underwoods work was something
astonishing. What a change has come.
Now it seems pretty generally understood
that Judge Underwood's job at consti-
tution-making was not perfect piece OF
work II is admitted that our State Con-
stitution needs revising and amending
Really the whole question now is: How
shall the desired changes be made-by a
convention. or by having the Legislature
adopt and submit TO the people series
OF amendments?
When It comes to framing such amend
ments as we need Mr.. Nelson would In
troduce his commission plan; though he
maintains tbat no matter how we under
take to change the Constitution the re-
port of a commission would be useful
So we see that there is a growing dis
position to consider the question OF con-
stitutional changes. A man who thinks
that the Underwood patchwork needs
mending is no longer considered as ne
cessarily a crank.
The Roanoke conference did a great
deal of good in forcing the convention
question upon the attention of the PEG
pie The discussion Of Mr.. Nelson's plan
will also have beneficial result. Dis
cussion is what we want, and In due time
we believe 1t will bring a constitutional

The Damaged Maine Monument.

A monument 70 the Union dead. erected
in Virginia by a Maine regiment, has
been dsfgured in such a way that the
damage done cannot be repaired Such
vandalism as this should be severely pun
ished. 1t cannot be condemned in too
strong terms. -Baltmore American.
This is a great exaggeration. That the
monument was disfigured somewhat (by
an idle and foolish boy, we SUPPOSE there
seems no doubt.
That we have such vandal youths In
Virginia we very much deplore and re-
gret: but we must say that they are quite
impartial and non-partisan in their dew
iltry. They have defaced tombs of our
Revolutionary fathers in St Johns bury
ing ground in this city. Headstones OF
Confederate heroes in country cemeteries
have not escaped them. They would
shoot at and deface the Lee monument
in this city but for the guard constantly
kept there.
In this case If our information be reli-
able, the Disagreement consisted of OBJ
jectionable charcoal marks or letters made
upon the monument. These marks have
now been removed. We feel sure that
the people OF Petersburg and vicinity
disapproye the vandalism most intensely.
and will see that the vandal or vandals
are detected and punished if possible.
