Mr.. II. NJ. Smith, who was present IN the

with being a suspicious character.
The Great Dispenser could not prove
the charge, and he said he was very sor-

with shooting at Alexander Riley. and
the evidence was such as to cause the

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR 1901.

The various manufacturing concerns in
Richmond anticipate increased business
during the coming year. In every braucn
OF industry during the year just closed
there was most encouraging advances all
aloi:., the line.
The old concerns increased during the
year 10 their capacity, and new ones felt
that tueiT efforts had been appreciated.
ana all enter into the twentieth century
with the utmost confidence.
This confidence that is maintained is
bv no means bolstered 1t is based on sub
stantial grounds. and the business eye
sees no reason for Encouragement. There
are no cyncs among the manufacturers
AS one man, they feel that tie early years
Of the new century. at least. Will bring
with them increased prosperity
INCREASED DEMAND.
One of tie reasons assigned. and the
NAM one, is the increased demand Tor
American Droaucts in foreign countries
and in the newly-acquired territory. Cuba
is counted on to draw much from this
country. The same is true of Porto Rico,
and the Pacific Islands are expected to
keep the shops OF the United States husy
Tor some time to come.
The general prosperity of the country Is
also. figured upon il foreCastlns the busy
time.
AS a rule. the Richmond nanufact-
urers are modest in speaking in print OF
t cir business prospects. but the visit OF
a Times representative to a large. nunlper
OF the plants convinced him that the
smoke would continue to arise from the
big chimneys and the hum would come
from the shops and the mills for many
months to come.
ORDERS FAR AHEAD.
Many OF the manufacturing concerns
have orders far ahead and some of them
are forced to work day and night In or
der to turn out their work on time. With
ali this. work there is no indication OF a
siuIted market. AS fast as the stuff is
turned out it is shipped to its destination
or point from witch It was ordered. and
Richmond-made goods are found in all
quarters of the globe, from South Africa
to Russia.
Few citizens OF Richmond realize the
amount OF manufacturing that IS being
done here Almost every conceivable ar
ticle is made here, from a locomotive to
cigar-box.
The machine shops. the box factories,
match factories. broom factories. ship
yards nail works. bag factories, prop
rietary medicine works. paper mills, glass
factories, shirt factories, rolling mills,
breweries and all other manufacturing es-
adjustments are doing their best TO sup
ply the demands upon them, and the end
is b. no means in sight
