that grading of this character is very
cheap, In many instances cheaper than
making an elevation for road bed on

A TROLLEYIS
PRACTICABLE
A Reply to Mr.. Greever's
Article in Last Weeks
Issue of the News.


Under the above heading, Prof. A. S
Greever. of Burke's Garden, had a
very interestion article in your last
issue, which was very ably gotten up
and brings out many important facts
concerning the proposed scheme.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if you will allow
me space in your valuable paper j
would like to say few words on this
subject, not by way of criticism but
rather in self defence, and to make
some corrections as to distances.
grades, etc. In the first place, if un-
derstood the situation, Burke's Garden,
wants trolley or steam line to some
point on N. & W., and as a natural
consequence we would say, that they
want the best and shortest route to
Bluefield, for many substantial reasons.
If this be true the route mapped out
by Mr.. Greever, around by the Peery
farm, and Bluestone is out of the ques-
tion entirely. AS regards tonnage for
the road will say, that Clear Fork and
Cove Greek can furnish as much as
Burke's Garden. True we do not make
export cattle, THAT is we do not put
the finishing touch on them, it does
not pay, but we can produce all kinds
Of farm and garden products that our
climate will admit of. Thousands of
dollars worth is produced here annual
ly, and is hauled on wagons and car
ried on horse back TO market, and yet
our people are making no special effort
in this direction for the want of some
better means Of transportation. Give
us trolley to Blueheld. and then you
will see folks hustle. But all Of this Is
OF minor Importance when it comes to
furnishing tonnage for railroad. Our
natural resources is where it comes in.
Take Nye Cove, with its thousands of
acres Of undeveloped mineral and
timbered lands, and the trolley, If built,
will pierce the very center of it. This
country alone, if developed, would
furnish trolley all the tonnage it could
handle for generations to come. II the
road is built via Tazewell, it will be of
no special benefit to us-none when it
comes to our natural resources, as it
will strike our valley only at the ex-
treme head, seven miles from Cove
Greek. Our people would like to have
some part in it, but cannot If it does
not come in reach of them.
/ think the Prof. has made a con-
siderable mistake in regard to the dis
tance Of the two routes. He says,
"From Burke's Garden, via Crabtree's
Gap, Peery Farm, and Bluestone to
Graham, 20 miles," To this we will add
3 miles to Bluefeld, and we haye 80
miles. From Burke's Garden via Cove
Greek to Graham, "a miles. Now, Of
course, this Is an oversight, as he Is

0. X. and Its Origin

THERE have been many theories advanced
as to the origin Of the expression o. X.
Some of them have been partly correct, and
some have not. Over century ago great
deal OF the best and tobacco came from
Aux Caves, which was pronounced O. X;
and the best of anything was said to be o. X.
The meaning of this phrase is still retained,
and figures largely in the business world.
No doubt many have thought that o. X.
came from ION Korrect." During the cam
paign Of General Jackson his enemies did all
in their power to iniure him in the eyes of the
people. Once he signed some papers and
wrote after his name, This IS o. X" The
Democrats took up the phrase and said that
it was an abbreviation of the customary
Endorsement of the General, as Ion korrect.
They put it on their banners and the me aning
