six or seven hundred people who mostly
find constant employment in her two
splendid cotton factories, the Min

is splendid and we'll managed one,
with 200 looms and 1000 spindles: it
manufactures plaids and sheetings. The

and has $500 spindles. Mr. b. David

as it resembles the walls around the
State Prison, where fire fiends and the

pose of protecting the mills from the
attempt which had three times failed
to destroy it ,and since Mr.. Huff got so
straight after certain parties as to
cause them TO leave the State for the
States good there has not been another
attempt and he is beginning now to
feel a little at ease.
The health of the little burg is eX-

day, Admiral Walker presiding. They
heard reports of committees and it is

military value of an inter- oceanic canal
and rights, privileges and franchises.
When this work is concluded the COM

Mcdowell Gets District Judgeship.
(By the Associated Press.)


Washington, Nov. 12-At the conclu-
sion of the Cabinet meeting today it
was announced that Henry Clay McDow-
ell, of Big Stone Gap. Va, had been Sc
lected for appointment as United States
distli let judge of the Western district Of
Virginia. 1t is not known when the ap-
pointment will be made formally, but
it is expected in a day or two.
Judge McDowell's selection was made
after the claims of several candidates
had been considered carefully and the
President had been supplied with full in
formation concerning them by their re-
spective friends. An hour before the
Cabinet meeting, Representative Bow
den and Chairman Park Agnew, of the
Republican State Committee of Virginia,
saw the President about the vacant
judgeship, They did not present can
didate, but urged the President in making
the appointment to select resident of
the Western district. They were inclined
to the belief, after their interview with
the Pres dent, that he would appoint
Judge Lewis, although they thought that
Judge Mcdowell who is a resident of
the Western district had a good chance
for the appointment.
Judge Mcdowell is a Republican and
one of his warm supporters for the ap-
pointment was Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue Yerkes. Judge Mcdowell is
great grandson of Henry Clay, and is
connected with some of the oldest fam
lilies of Virginia and Kentucky. He is
lawyer of fine attainments. and it is be-
lieved that his appointment will meet
with cordial approval.
