A Card from Elias Rinr.

RINGGoLD, w. VA, May 25, 1898.
l notice in your paper to-day that you
gave notice that have failed again. 1
do not believe that you ever heard of
me failing in business for the single rea-
son that never had cent to fail with.
thank you kindly for the pity you ex-
tend in your paper, but would like to
let you know that had nothing in the
hrm OF Ring 4 Co., and what IS more
there was no failure, for my wife nimply
gave up all she had IN order to pay her
honest debts, which I hope we will be
able to do, and hope you will please
make the correction and say that this is
not failure but we simply gave up ali
the goods to pay honest debts and set
US free, as we do not want to cheat any

ONE ABUTMENT DONE.
This Has taken Six Weeks where it was
only expected to put five on both.

The abutment on this side of Deck
ers creek is nearly finished and the
men working on it expect to get it
done to-day. They expected to have
both the abutments done in five
weeks when they began the work six
weeks ago. but they have been him
dered and delayed so much by the
water that they have.made very slow
progress.
Had there been no temporary bridge
built to be used while the work was
going on and while the other bridge
was down the delay and inconven-
fence would have been something ter
rible.

SAM WOODS FOR CONGRESS-.
Barbour County Declares for its Fav-
Orite SON He is Fine Man and
would make a splendid Candidate.

In the convention of Barbour coun-
ty held last week the delegates de-
clared for her favorite son of Barbour
as their candidate for congress. They
want the Hon. S. v. Woods of Phil
ippi for their standard bearer in This
district The party might easily NOM
mate a man who would make a less
formidable candidate than he would
be. He is clean man in whose rec
ord there are only things of which to
be proud.
Mr.. Dayton would rather have any
other man in the district nominated
than Mr.. Woods because the latter,
hailing from Dayton's home town
knows him like book and would go
after him with very sharp stick.
This reason, il the others did not ex-
ist, would make Woods good man
for the place.
The resolutions were as follows:
Resolved, That Sam. V. Woods of
Pbilippi, is entitled to receive the
unanimous support Of Barbour county
in the congressional convention to be
called for the nomination of the Dem
ocratic candidate for congress in the
second congressional district, and that
the vote OF Barbour county therein be
instructed to be cast for him for the
nomination.

NEW WAR BONDS IN DEMAND
Syndicate Offers Par For the Whole
Two Hundred Millions

Washington, June Eff there was ever
any question about the success Of the new
per cent. war loan, it has been set at
rest by the way in which subscriptions are
already beginning to come in at the trea-
sury department. The assurance of the
success of the loan, however, has been
made absolutely certain by two PROPOSE
tions, each covering the entire present
issue of $500, 900, 900. The subscription of
the National City bank, the Central Trust
company, and Vermilyea & Co., made the
day the loan was opened was for any
part of the total issue that should not be
taken by the public. Another proposal
was formulated this same day, covering
the entire amount. 1t came from j. Pier
pont Morgan and a number Of associates.
The subscribers to the syndicate are as

founded and unless the law of probability
fail, the trade balance, which for the zen
months ending April 50 was s5l4245. 495.
will be over $500 oo0. 900 by June 80. The
nearest approach 20 this extraordinary
record was last year. when the balance in
our favor was s2S6, 2s3. IA
"As result Of the happy concurrence
of conditions serving 20 make memorable
this year of our Lord, 1855 the volume
of cash sent over 60 US from Europe
breaks all previous records. Il is esti-
mated that for the full fiscal year the
net amount of coin received in partial
settlement OF our huge mercantile balance
viii be at least 500 900. 900. This is more
than double any previous cash balance
for one year. the largest having been
s44. 653. 200, for the year 1s7s.''
Mr. Pritchard then entered upon a long
and comprehensive discussion OF the eff
fects upon the country OF the operations
of the tariff measures passed by con-
gress. In the course Of this discussion,
he referred particularly 20 the notice
able effects of the tariff legislation upon
the industries and development Of the
south. After describing agricultural and
commercial trials through which the south
has passed, Mr.. Pritchard said:
But brighter day has dawned. Out Of
the wreck of schemes and in-founded
hopes has arisen a new generation, VINO,
working with head, hand and heart. are
raising the southern states to place
where prosperity. plenty and happiness
shall be the familiar portion Of their peo-
pie In the front rank Of states that are
working our a splendid destiny stands
North Carolina No state has greater
possibilities: none greater need of the fos-
tering care that flows from the Republi-
can control of the government.
The citizens of my state have NOT been
backward IN entering upon the develop
ment Of her industries and the whirr Of
spindle and the click of the loom in hum
dreds of cotton mills is daily teaching
her people the great lesson Of industrial
expansion. Prosperity has come 10 North
Carolina to stay. This year there is a
boom. Farm products are from Is TO 40
per cent advanced. Horses are IS per sent
higher than in 1897 and few TO be had.
Poultry IS $50 per cent above last year.
The lumber industry. which was pros
trated in 1861 is active and prosperous.
Tobacco is higher than in four years"
After quoting from newspapers and per-
sonal letters. all tending to show that the
country and particularly North Carolina,
had entered upon an era of prosperity.
Mr.. Pritchard concluded:
''Such is the news that comes to our
ears not only from NoFh Carolina, but
from every part Of this great country.
The song Of an overwhelming, ever-deep-
ening prosperity is in every ear. and this
after less than a year OF protective tariff
legislation"
