next quarter of a century the manufacture
of wooden goods will be largely transferred
to the South.
Here in Tazewell an effort should be
made to take advantage of the coming
conditions. The finest timber east of the
Rocky Mountains is found in Southwest
Virginia, West Virginia, Eastern Ken
lucky, Western North Carolina and East
Tennessee. farewell is surrounded by
sections that can furnish necessary lumber
for wooden factories. Why not go to
work and start some factories here?
The same may be said of wool. In'the
sections of the States above referred to
sheep husbandry has been found very
profitable for the production of mutton.
With the advance in the price of wool, &C.
casioned by protective duty, the num-
Der of sheep will constantly increase and
the production of wool be greatly enlarged.
Why not esta blish some more wooden fac
tories in Tazewell?

duct of fraudulent elections. This is only
one Of the few indications Of the mora

MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES.

1t looks very much like the South will
in the near future become the leading
manufacturing section of the United States.
1t has great advantage over other Sec
tions in climatic conditions and has the
necessary raw materialsin its midst. There
can be no question that the manufacture
of cotton will be largely transferred to the
Southern States where the raw material is
produced and where it can be spun into
yarns and woven into cloth much cheaper
than anywhere else. In the manufacture
of iron the South possesses the same supe-
rior advantages that it does in cotton.
Iron ore and coal are found in such close
proximity in Alabama, Tennessee and Vir-
ginia that the cost of production at the
furnaces that have already been erected
has been found to be less than it is in
Pennsylvania and other states ofthe Union
The splendid forests of the South can
supply an almost unlimited amount of the
finest lumber for all kinds of woodwork.
A great deal of the lumber that is cut from
these forests is being shipped to Europe
and to the Northern and Western States,
where it is manufactured into articles and
afterwards, in part, shipped back to the
Southern States for sale. II cannot be
very long before enterprising men of the
South will realize the folly of such course.
At some points wooden-works of various
kinds have already been started, and most
of them are meeting with decided success.
The South is also the possessor of supe-
rior advantages for manufacturing wooden
goods. A great deal of wool is now being
grown in the South and the sheep industry
each year is becoming more popular and
profitable. With the broad acres in Texas
and other Southern States that are so well
suited to grazing sheep, and the increased
product of wool that is certainly coming,
we are justified in concluding that in the

DISTINGUISHING the Negro.

Richmond Times.
The proposition to hold contitutiona
convention in the State of Louisiana fol
the avowed purpose of DISTINGUISHING the
great bulk of the negro voters of that
State was carried by large majority
The Populists combined with the colored
Republicans in opposition to the conven'
ton, but nearly all the white Republicans
either combined with the Democrats OF
supported the Democratic candidates fol-
delegates in order to get rid of the negro
voters. A light vote was poIed and very
few of the negroes took the trouble to cast
ballot, only about ten per cent. of them
in New Orleans having gone to the polls.
This is bold stroke. The New Orleans
States in an editorial article printed on
Monday last, the day before the election,
made the bold declaration that it was alb
solutely necessary to the peace and good
government of Louisiana that the negro
be dishanchised. "If this convention is
defeated" said the States, "the rabble
will continue to control or hold the bal
ance of power in our politics"
The negro has for years been practically
DISTINGUISHED in Mississippi and more
recently in South Carolina, and now they
propose to disfranchise him in Louisiana.
Yet the Northern people look on complac-
emily, if not approvingly.

their party in the future of its benefits.

EngIand's Way and Ours.

Philadelphia Press.
Thirty years ago four or five English,
men were seized and imprisoned by King
Theodore of Abyssinia at Magdala and
England spent $50 100000 in freeing these
men and teaching Theodore aud other
savage kings that it was dangerous to touch
Englishmen.
The lesson was learned as the news
spread from the Atlantic west of Africa
to the Pacific east of Asia. Everywhere
English traders and English trade are
the safer for the Abyssinian war. The
money spent on that expedition has'come
back thousand fold. 1t was as shrewd
all investment as any great trading nation
ever made.
If our trade is to be safe and our com
merce to extend in safety our citizens
must be protected in the same fashion,
and outside of small group of European
countries force is the sole measure Of
safety. In Turkey this country has 8
number of citizens, some selling goods and
some Bibles, some trading and some
preaching. This is of no consequence
They are all citizens alike and demand
and deserve the same protection.
Two years ago, at Harput and at other
points, the houses of some of these citi'
zens were burned, their property plund-
cred and destroyed and their lives put in
grievous peril. Turkey has given them
no redress and fatty refuses any. Our
Government has pleaded two years. 1t
can plead forever.
If our citizens are to remain safe in
Turkey and elsewhere-for this question
is as wide as the world and narrow as any
one land-it Will only be by the use and
display of force. No other plea counts.
Turkey has no fleet. No Asiatic power,
except Japan, has. With an American
squadron in Turkish waters these claims
will be settled in day. Without it, JUS
tice will never be done.
These claims are in themselves small
The safety of Americans is everything
Unless the claims are settled the safety
Of every American will be lessened from
Morocco to China, and safe trade turns
on safe trader. Cuba and its possible
risks have thus far engrossed the atten
ton of our Government and made it nee
essary to keep our fleet in our own waters
The time cannot be distant, however
when this necessity will be over. More
over, we are adding to our battleships.
The earliest possible moment should b.
taken to initiate the example of Austrii
and collect these claims by force, when
ever it can be done without importing
other interests.

THURSDAY, JANUARY, 20 1898.
AN OCCASIONAL HOWLER.

Notwithstanding there has been a
marked Improvement in the business con-
ditions of the country, generally, an occa-
sional howl is heard from those who are
ignorant of the facts or who seek to mis-
represent them. No man, unless he be
fool, falsifer, pessimist or drone would be
willing to exchange the conditions that
have prevailed since Mckinley became
President for those that obtained prior
thereto.
Those who suffered most under Cleve-
lands administration, and for whom the
Bryanites expressed especial sympathy,
have been the chief benefciaries of the
improved condition. We refer to the ag-
ricultural and laboring classes. Is any
man of common intelligence willing to
make himself ridiculous by denying that
the farmers were not much more prosper
Gus in 1897 than in 1896? Will any one
be stupid enough to state that there has
not been a sharp advance in prices and an
increased demand for all agricultural pro-
ducts except cotton, hay and few minor
things? 1t is published to the world that
Sc H.
never more prosperous and contented.
Why? Because they can sell anything they
have in the way of products for good pri-
ces. 1t is that way in the West, in the
East, at the South, and right here in Vir-
GINA, in the Southwest, in Tazewell.
Those who are complaining are men that
have nothing to sell or will not work to
produce anything to exchange for money.
They are of that class who fatten on ca
lanity and try to utilize the suferings of
their fellow men-politicians of the Ca
lamity stripe or the hangers on, who hope
to secure few crumbs that fall from their
masters table.
In the face of the industrial reports that
are published daily in the newspapers of
the land, Democratic as well as Republi-
can, there are still found men stupid
enough to assert that the condition Of la
Dor has not been improved. They talk
about the suferings of the unemployed as
if the number Of that class was increasing
instead of diminishing. It's estimated by
industrial statisticians that about million
more workers were employed in the United
States in 1897 than in 1896, and in many
instances there have been considerable ad-
vances in the wages of the employed.
The ridiculous calamity bowler can find
nothing to roll upon his tongue but the
''poor operatives" of the New England
mills, whose wages have recently been re-
duced ten or twelve per cent. They pub
fish column after column of pretended
sympathy for those unfortunate opera
tiyes, and, we doubt not, are really glad of
their misfortune, that they may single out
something to howl about.
Every successful business man, every
farmer, who understands his business, and
intelligent laboring men are satisfied with
existing conditions as compared with Dem
ocratic times. Let the calamity donkeys
bay. The country will continue to pros
per and happiness come to those who
work and do not complain.

THE customs receipts under the new
tariff are continually increasing, and it is
confidently predicted by the Treasury
officials that the new law will provide a
surplus of revenue from now on. If this
should prove to be true it will again de-
monstrate the utter lack of knowledge
possessed by the Democratic leaders on
the tariff question. They predicted, even
a few weeks ago, that the Dingley bill
would never produce sufficient revenue to
pay the expenses of the government.
