NO RAILROAD
WILL BE BUILT
N. & w. Don't Need Road d
Up Dry Fork

A representative Of this paper had a
conversion recently with a gentleman
who is interested in the Dry Fork Rail-
road scheme, also in the vast tracts OF
coal in that section, and who is in a
position to know all the facts, and asked
him about the probability Of the com
pletion of the road, and point of its
junction with the N & W., etc.
: He said there is no probability of the
road being built within the next five or
ten years, il at all, and when ii is built
IT will not connect with the n. & w. at
either North Tazewell or Tip Top. In
the first place the n. & w. people don't
need this road. They have all the coal
they can possibly handle now. Their
tracks and cars are taxed to the full
limit TO handle the traffic, and to open
new fields would necessitate more
double track, more rolling stock, as
well as great increase OF expenses all
along the line, and at present and for
some time to come the matter will rest.
And then, the building of this road
to terminate here or at Tip Top would
be OF enormous cost owing to the to-
Biography OF the country, which is, per-
haps the toughest in the country.
The road will be built, however
some distance from the other side, and
the coal taken out by way of lager for
the present.

EXPOSITION BILL
SAFE IN SENATE
Majority Favorable to Its
Passage---Amendment
to Mann Bill.

Richmond, Va, April 2l.-The
Senate devoted its entire session TO-
day, which was long one to the
consideration of the bill to appropri-
ate 100000 TO the jamestown Ex-
Position, aud while the matter Was
not disposed of. there were several
test votes which WEI" all 81 fay ora
Ole 10 the measure aS TO Indicate it's
final passage.
MANN BILL AMENDMENT.
In the house of delegates today Mr..
Cumming, of Elizabeth City county,
introduced lengthy bill amending
and reenacting section l4l of the new
revenue act in relation 10 the SAFE of
liquor.
The change made by the bill is in
that clause which exempts from thu
operation of the Mann bill territory
contiguous TO cities where there is
public police protection and consists
in the insertion of the words "or
towns" after cities, which, il was
thought by Mr.. Cogbill, were in his
senate amendment, as the context.
further down, would apparently show
but which are emitted i'm the bill as
finally passed.
The insertion of the two little words
will have tho effect OF oxempting from
the petition feature in the Mann bull
liquor dealers in territory contiguous
to towns or whatever population,
whether Incorporated or not.
There seems TO be no question that
it was senator Cogbill's intention TO
have his amendment apply to terrific
ry In proximity to towns as well as
To cities.
Richmond, April 20.-The Board
Of visitors of the University of Vir
ginia will meet April % at Charlotts-
vile to hold perhaps one of the most
important sessions of the history of
the institution. The chief work TO
be done 10y the board will be the elec-
tion OF the president, and the de6n-
ing of his duties. But unless all signs
fail, this work, simply as the mere
statement it MAY be, is going to take
considerable time and much labor.
There will be number OF names be-
fore the board for the position of
head of the great school. At pres
ent there is boom for John Bassett
Moore, of New York. He was first
Assistant Secretary of State under
Mr.. Cleveland, and is an alumnus Of
the University of Virginia. The New
York alumni are working hard for
him. Professor Venable, of North
Carolina, is a candidate whose name
will be before the board, and Colonel
George w. Miles. of st. Albans, Va,
will be considered. There is not the
slightest ground upon which II
prophecy may be based as 10 the sell
ection of the board.

Jail Birds Moved.

Coeburn, Va, April IL. Eleven pris-

pen last week. Seven Of these were
sentenced from Dickinson and four
from Wise.
Payday passed off quietly on Toms
Creek so far as | have heard.
Only two fights are reported for Sun
day at Coeburn up To this time. One
of them originated over IA dog fight, as
usual. Nobody was hurt A few fines
were paid.

matter will prove contagious and spread
all the way down Grand street.
The vets seem very anxious concern
ing the welfare Of the community since
the election went dry. They talk as
though they think that il we don't have
saloons and distilleries everything will
go TO rack. Well, whiskcy is about
everything to them any way. IL Is the
whiskey they are anxious about. Chill
dren talk what they hear their parents
talk: A little girl, daughter OF whis-
key drinker (poor child came into n
store the other day and said, II think
everything has gone dry; we cant hard
ly get anything to eat, now" as If the
district going dry would have anything
TO do with things Ito eat" But the
little girl just tail.eeL> -s'Aat ske had
heard her father talk; know it was
not her mother.
The argument that the whiskey traf.
fic helps business Is on a par with the
idea that it helps business for a circus
to come to town. II men would just
stop and think they would readily see
that the circus hurts business to the
amount of cash that it carries away
and that the saloon hurts business jus,
to the amount Of cash they receive for
drinks, because practically none of this
money is. circulated in the neighborhbor
hood Of the saloon, while in the absenc,
OF the saloon 1t would all be spent 70
the necessaries OF life.

A supplemental report was made show
ing additional contributions of $4O415, of
which $3.50 was from Grand Army
sources and $3S0.55 from the Woman's
Relief Corps. 1t was also shown that adj
ditional disbursements had been made to
the extent of $1,329.20. The Department
Commander, in closing that report, stated
"There is in the Commercial Bank at
Houston, 81 ,70022 to balance, subject to
order of the National Encampment;" and
said further: "Should you wish this report,
the books containing n record of receipts
and disbursements for account of the
Grand Army and Woman's Relief Corps,
the same arranged by Posts, Departments
and individuals, record of all disburse-
ments, and for what account, the pre-
liminary and balance sheet to date, and
the bank book showing the cash in hand
therein, all of which / beg to have sub
mitted to the Encampment, the same
audited, and further instructions, if any,
be given"
The Commander-in-C Chief in his address
to the National Encampment in Sept,
1901, referred to this report. Yhe Com
mittee on the Address of the Commander
| in-Chief reported: 1T seems but just that
the balance remaining unexpended should
be turned over to the officers of the De-
partment, to be held by them, and ac-
counted for in their report to the Depart
| ment Encampment, and by the Depart
ment to the National Encampment."
Commander in Chief Torrance on Nov.
IL, 1901, advised the Department Com
mander of the action taken by the Ma
tional Eneampment, quoted the report of

LEGISLATION.
The Committee on Legislation for Vet
Grams in the Public Service will embody
in their report to this Encampment full
statement Of the work done by the Com
mittee in their efforts to secure at the
hands Of Congress the legislation in the
interests of the veteran that has received
the Endorsement and approval of previous
Encampments. The Committee, under the
direction Of Comrade Joseph w. Kay,
Chairman, labored diligently, but without
accomplishing the result, which, for a
time near the close of the session, seemed
assured, but Congress adjourned without
passing the bill. Comrade Kay, of the
Department Of New YORK., and Comrade
Ivory G. Kimball, of the Army of the
Potomac, both resigned from the Commit
tee Comrade l. Il. Mack. of the Depart
ment of Ohio, and Comrade Nathan Bick-
ford, of the Department of the Potomac,
were appointed to fill the vacancies. and
Comrade Mack was designated as Chair
man. The report Of the Committee con-
tains information that should be given to
the Encampment, and covers the ground
so fully, that it is unnecessary for the
Commander-in-Chie to make either argu-
ment or suggestion. except to say that he
was present at session Of the Commit
