VIRGINIA IRON INDUSTRIES.

VIRGINIA IRON INDUSTRIES.
Our esteemed contemporary. the Bris-
tol News. IS in fun realization Of the fact
which this paper has so often proclaim
ed-that Southwest Virginia is on the
eve OF a great Industrial boom. The
News reproduces a telegram recently sent
out from Knoxville with reference 20
the organization Of a strong company to
purchase the iron furnaces throughout
the Southwest and put them TO work.
and INDUCES ia much the same comment
that we made i'm our reference 10 the
same item of news. our Bristol coniem-
porary declares that day is breaking"
and heartily congratulates its readers on
the beautiful prospects.
The News is not disturbed by the fact
that these furnaces have been put into
q combination and that they Will be
operated under one management. II takes
money, says the News. and the highest
credit cash and confidence 30 accomplish
great business results in these times. a
combination OF capital and capacity IS
necessary on such great works. We sup
pose that some Of The anu-corporaton
people throughout the Southwest would
prefer that these furnaces remain idle
forever than that they be gob0led mp by
a trust but all who love enterprise bet
ter than theories and prejudices are genu-
inely reioiced at the prospect.
We believe that there is no richer coun-
try in the South than that portion Of
Southwest Virginia, East Tennessee and
Southeast Kentucky-the country IN
which this large company proposes TO
operate. All the favors Of heaven seem
70 have been bestowed upon 81, and th2t
IL has not been hitherto developed is due
10 unfavorable conditions. The situation
is now changed. however ard we believe
that the developments now begun VIII go
ON al a rate not even exaggerated Iva TIE
DAYS Of the boom. There is everything
I'm that section to make wealth and pros
peritv. ana the forces necessary to THOR
opph development have now been set in
motion.

Colonel BoyKin Is Tor Mr.. Mar
tin for United States senator. the

Martin men vo,ed against instructions.
On the contrary, the Martin men were
largely i'm the majority. Mr. Stands,

between five and eight delegates out Of
