great deal of industrial activity in
this county before the year is very
much older.
They will get hold Of about twenty
thousand acres of coal land In the
county. To do this they will buy but
little more than they now have under
contract. The buying has been going
on steadily for some time but nothing

those who were interested.
The company will put about MIL

trict.
HUNTINGTON, W. Va, March =
AS the political situation now looks
in this section of the state Just prior
to the gathering of the Republican
clans for the State League meeting
at Parkersburg on Thursday of this
week, tie White forces have all the
best of it. Five counties in the 18th
district have held their conventions,
and every one of them, without a
dissenting voice, will cast their vote
solidly for A. B. White in the Char
lesion state convention.
In view of the claims that the
Freer people have been making
throughout the state this is a terri
BILE blow to the followers of the con
gresham. 1t nowslooks as though
White would have the Fourth dis
trict solid with the exception OF
Judge Freer's own county. Richie
In that county Mr.. White has all
along announced his intention of
making no fight, not believing such
course conducive to party harmo
ny. 1t is safe to say that of the $50
Votes in the Fourth district, Mr.
White will get 220.
