BIRDyILLE. VA, December I'm
giving description Of the section
known as the Meadows OF the Dan, the
sketch would be incomplete without
mention of some OF the modern enter
prises and improvements that add In
terest to naturally attractive place.
For instance. In the most picturesque
portion OF this beautiful little valley
there has sprung up as II by magic
tic little town of Draper. The Ger
man American Cotton MILLS, one OF the
largest in operation hereabout. Is the
nucleus OF this habitation, and 1t Is a
worthy ornament to an area OF beau
t1fnl levels. with wooded hills and
w.itercourses to give variety to the
scene.
This section of meadow land skirt
ing the Danville and Western railroad
for eight miles and more is perhaps
one OF the prettiest stretches Of un-
broken land in the entire South. This
statement is verified by the fact that
Northern capitalists are constantly In
speeding and investing within its
bounds. In fact. there are. very few
original owners of plantations in the
vicinity the land having been sold at
high figures to moneyed men at dis
tancc.

GERMAN INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY
Demand for Labor Is Still Greater than

Demand for Labor Is Stfll Greater thnn

Consul Thomas Fl. Norton, Of Chem
nitz states that a summary of the

tical office for tho conditions In the

August shows no reaction In the re-
markably favorable state OF, Ger
many's Industrial interests. He gives
tho following particulars'
There Is no cessation in demands on
the coal mines, and in certain districts
miners wages have been raised. In
the Woodworking industries and ma

a slackening Is reported from the Saar
region and In the Prussian province Of
Saxony, and orders have. lessened III q

comoblles. and gas engines. Special
activity Is chronicled In chemical and
electrical Industries, as we'll as In the
textile branches, except In the cloth
works Of Aachen and In the SILK In
dustry of Crefeld. The building trades
nave suffered seriously from strikes
and lockouts in certain districts, but,
in general, they report an excess ol
work to be done.
The demand for agricultural laborers
has not been fully met, and the diff

GREAT LAKES FISHING.

Canadian Government Declines to Cur
tall the Closed Season.
Consul Harry A. Conant, of Windsor,
sends the following information on
the Canadian restrictions for fishing
in the Great Lakes:
The closed season for whitefish be-
gins November list and continues for
thirty days. The fishermen annually
petition the department of marine and
fisheries for an extension of time, be-
Ecause of high winds. severe storms,
etc. In the past the government has
granted the request without hesita-
tion. sometimes giving all extension OF
a fortnight, but the petitioners are
told this year that 1t cannot be done.

Colonel Byrd in his writings.
Within few years there will exist
few landmarks OF former days OF the
resplcndent social life that crowned
this garden spot. Farm lands will be
divided into streets, and manufacturing
will replace agriculture. A greater
number of people will be benefited by
the change, but a tinge OF sadness
comes with the realization that ma
ture's handiwork will be replaced by
art and science. and the old-time aris-
tccrat;c ways and freedom OF living
will be snpplanted by the rush and push
