years been in bitter railroad war with
Mr.. Ryan should be received with all due
allowance for the feelings growing out.

between Mr.. Ryan and Mr. st. John

Mr.. Thomas F.. Ryan would not have

the entire South is heavily Indebted to
Mr.. Ryan for getting that bankrupt
system and smaller lines Into such shape
that they could not only aid In build ing
up the sections through which they ran,
but also pay interest and dividends to

with them all genuine admiration Of

The Gift Of the Morning STAR

tIultor OF inc IlmeS-DiSpatch:
sir,-I have just read this story byi
Armistead c. Gordon Drunk and wag-
nails, 1860, found In fruitful glade Of
the great Shenandoah Valley, thinly dis
guised as "Shcrando," It's dramatis per-
sonae supposed types of Dunkard COM

not In actual possession Of every garden

"Ocquon Glade" breathes the spirit Of
Its plous and thrifty masters. Neverthe-
less unsanctified nature will, in spite OF
them, revel in every bewildering form OF
beauty, and 1t is this beauty which the
author sees with his poets eye, and
upon which he pours melodious and ex-
ulting eloquencc. For poet he Is, not
unknown to fame. who certainly hitched
his chariot to star. and also

perhaps for mankind and for posterity.

not so happy or so veracous when he
undertakes to interpret the peculiar

he can tell beautifully that which he
has seen, yet evidently he has seen only
as much Of them as they have permitted
him to see. The story that lives, the
story of power and Immortality. Is the

The Cotton Mill Industry in Dan
vile.

Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir.-About the first story told one In
connection with the cotton mill business
in any town engaged in that line Of
manufacturing Is that when General
Johnston surrendered In 1865, and the
different generals, colonies and other
commanding officers We're bidding fare
we'll to their commands, one old colonel,
more noted for his ingenuity III methods
OF attack than for his oratorIcal powers,
called his men together for the parting.
He had prepared carefully worded
speech, in which he had set forth the
trying conditions under which they had
labored together for four years, and In n
most appropriate manner wished them n
lasting success in their new life, and
finally urged upon them the necessity
of speedy reconciliation. When the
men were all assembled however, his
speech failed him, and all his beautiful
platitudvs were forgotten, and reverting
to the form of address to which he was
more accustomed, he announced In a
voice and manner which would indicate
that he was commanding a charge: We'll
whip ,em yet. mcn-we'll whip 'em yet
eh-by God. we'll whip 'em with cotton"
And " any one doubts that the old
gentleman's prophesy WILL come true he
should take q trip to Danville, only one
hundred and forty miles. to the south
OF us.
TO those who remember the town as 1t
appeared before It's cotton mill days 1t
will prove n revelation. 1t will show
how and why Connecticut with her
cotton factories, is one OF the weathiest
OF States per capita; while We with
very few mills, are down among those
poor States which, like us, havs-hltherto
despised or neglected manufacturing.
A person who last saw Danvile and
her magnificent Dan River water power
asleep In her days before the mills,
would hardly believe his eyes-and when
given the statistics OF tho milling INDUS

would be confirmed. 8
