FROM ENGLISH NAVY.
Honorable Discharge Secured
For w. T. WOrley.

Several months since Mr. William
Wallis, an Englishman, who had
lived in Bristol for sometime, died al
his home here.
BY chance at the time of this sad
death, Mrs. Wallis brothcr, w. l.
Morley, of II. NJ. S. "Comus," was
on leave of absence to visit her BY
Mr.. Wallis death she was left en-
tirely alone, and in not very ailluent
circumstances, it being necessary for
Mr.. Worley to return to his ship at
the expiration of his leave IF absence.
At this point Rev. Thos. Russell,
Col j. B. Peters and other, took mp
the matter, and secured an extension
of the leave of absence. That grant
ed they went to work to obtain sigma
lures to two petitions for Mr.. Wor-
ley'S honorable discharge from the
English navy. One was signed by
the Board of Trade and other citizens
and the other by English residents.
Both were forwarded to Hon. w. +.
Rhea and through him discharge
by purchase" was secured Col.
Peters yesterday received a notice to
that effect.-Bristol NewS.
Mr.. Wallis and family formerly
lived at Big Stone Gap and Mr.
Wallis was well known to many of
the readers Of the PosT.

Prodigious Development.

The development Of the coal indus
try in the south-in Virginia, Ten
nessee and AIabama-has been great.
Even greater has been the develope-
ment in the production and manufac-
ture of iron, notably in Alabama and
Tennessee. But if the history of the
past is to be regarded as forecasting
the future, the greatest development
in the south during the coming de.
cade will be in the manufacture oil
cotton.
According to the census OF 1891
there were, in the south, 2o4 cotton
mills. There are now $40. In 1870
there were 1,7l2,930 spindles; there
are now 5,7l4,661. The number OF
spindles is increased at the rate OF
1900, 900 year, and if this increase
is continued the output OF cotton
goods in the south will be doubled
in less than four years.
There has never been IN any part
of this country SO rapid an advance
in any industry. 1t has beeh estao-
lished that cotton can be most cheap
" manufactured in the immediate re-
gion where it is grown. This STANDS
to reason and has, as we say, been
practically demonstrated. Eventual
ly the cotton mills of New England
and the north must close their doors,
and the manufacturers of the staple
in that section. who wish to success
fully continue the business, must
transfer their capital to the cotton
producing regions of the south where
the climate is more genial, where
labor is cheaper, and where the ex-
pense of transporting the raw ma
terial will be saved. There is a
glorious future in this industry in
store for the south.-Richmond Neccs.

ADMIRAL DEWEY, according TO a
New York dispatch, will accept the
nomination for President if the people
want him. When he first returned
from Manila he looked at the matter
from a different standpoint, but now,
it appears that he has changed his
mind. AS Bryan and Mckinley are
down on the slate for the Democratic
and Republican nominations for Pres
ident, respectively, it remains to be
seen what the people Of the United
States will do in the matter. Several
months will elapse before the Novem-
Der elections, and there is no knowing
what changes may take place in that
time.

SECRETARY Roof has returned from
Cuba impressed with the idea that
too much haste has been made in the
direction of Withdrawing United
States troops from the island, and he
has taken steps looking to an increase
of our forces there rather than a
withdrawal. This action is said to
be due to his belief that the native
militia is not yet up to the standard
which will enable it to protect life
and property. The elections also
will probably be postponed a month
or six weeks. About 10000 voters
are expected to appear at them, the
the suffrage being restricted to those
who can read and write, and to those
who own $3.50 worth of property.

GRAND CIRCUIT RACES.

NEW YORK, September 13.-The attend
ance was large on the fourth day of the
grand circuit meeting at the Empire City
tracks. The main attractions were the
free-for-all pace and a mile against time
by The Abbott.
In the free-for-all pace Anaconda sold
for 500, Prince Alert s95 and $40 for Indi-
ana. The finish in the first heat was in
doubt to the wire, where Prince Alert won
by nose from Anaconda. In the second
heat Prince Alert broke badly, Anaconda
winning by three lengths. He also won
the next heat and the race in hair rails
ing finish in 2:o41a.
The first event of the day was the 2:1S
trot, for which ten lined up for the start
and the race was such an open affair that
every horse in it had friends. Lady Nor
vet was the favorite at 3 to /, but the bay
mare Martha stepped to the post in lively
fashion and won the first heat by a
length In the second heat she led TO the
three-quarter pole when she broke, choked
and fell dead, Maid Thorne winning the
heat. Lady Norvett, the favorite, won thu
next three heats by a narrow margin.
The 2:13 pace had six starters and Fred
w. sold at $50, Tom Calhoun S35; Prince
A, SIS; TUNA, $50, and the field $50 The
black horse Deveras won the first heat by
a length, but in the next two Tom Cal
houn won by neck in the fiercest kind of
drive and took the fourth with a little
to spare.
The big event of the day was the mile
against time by the crack gelding, The
Abbott, to beat his record of 2:04st. He
went very slow to the quarter in :32%, and
then went like lighting to the half in 1021s.
He shot by the three-quarter pole in :32%
and came home in 2:04. This gives him
the champion geldng record, but still
leaves him behind the worlds champion
record held by Alix, 2:0324.
The wagon race for amateurs had three
competitors, but Hontas Crook took the
lead at the start and won by three lengths
in the fast time of 2:10 Summaries:
