Dipped from the Stream



(For the Sunday Times Dispatch
The beautiful. the silyery foam. the
sparkle of the rills,
Like Jeweled hands that kiss farewell
unto the billowy hills:
laughter and a lightsome song where
rolling clouds are riyen,
And the rivers of the world come down
from highlands of the heaven
Yet winding through the verdant vale,
yet wandering far away.
And softly. sleeping in the sun through
many summer day;
Yet murmuring a melody OF magical
divining,
For when the day has ceased to shine
the golden stars are shining.
All. love is but the laughing r!ll. and
wonderful the vile,
And soft the murmur of its mood OF
melody the while;
All, love is but the deepening flow of
yonder rolling river,
That finds the fulness OF the sea for
ever and forever.
Far and away the foaming food sweeps
onward through the plain,
And widens to the majesty and splen-
dor of the main;
But sadly Is its glory dimmcd and Bit
ter Is thc scorning,
When 10. anon the carth-stain mars
its virginia. adjoining.
No more the mirrored stars amid the
darkening depths arise,
Nor FASH the turgid tides the borrowed
beauty of the skies;
But vanished arc the earth stains when
the Wanting of the river
Is swallowed by the Vastly deep for
ever and forever.
There's many a sail upon that sea
unto the far away.
There's many a hope that reaches to
the everlasting day;
| The yearning Of a deafness love unto
| the land Elysian.
When loved ones seek golden shore
beyond the mortal vision.
Iris as the burden of a song where
| gorgeous clouds arise.
| And IT'S tho weary way that wins unto
| the wondrous skies;
| The matchless magic Of the morn that
ushers in the morrow
The holy heaven that heals at length
the pitiful>hurt Of sorrow.

VIRGINIA TOBACCO IN CHINA.

Giving the devil his due Is one OF
the most profitless undertakings for
the giver and futile benefits to the
recipient that can we'll be devised
that Is If the generous minded bestowcr
OF praise hopes for anything more than
an approving conscience. Just at
present few devils have ever been as
black as the American Tobacco Conf
pany Is painted in that district of
Kentucky which Is under the gentle
rule of the night riders. While hear
ing the accounts of trust methods,
which the gentlemen of the torch ana
lash offer as a justification for thor
methods of argument, 1t Is worth re-
calling another story not so often
told but of great and vital interest
TO the tobacco raisers in parts Of Vir-
ginia and North Carolina. The story
IS simply this, that when the demand
for Turkish tobacco, coupled with the
slackening use OF cigarettes, came into
play the market for the light cigarette
tobacco OF Virginia and North Caro-
lima would have been greatly restrict
ed had not a new consumer for this
tobacco been discovered or created.
The American Tobacco Company did
both. 1t sent number of ships 70

Carolina cigarettes through the cities
bordering the rivers OF that great en-
pire to such good effect that a real and
steady demand for American cigarettes
was created. Now the American To.
bacco Company maintains factories II
China, and the tobacco-raisers Of vir.
gina and North Carolina are selling
their crops to the celestlals at goot
prices, and with every prospect Of ar
increasing demand.

rnosrERous ymGIN1A.

From many sections of the state
accounts of the growth in the mate
lial wealth of Virginia. At no time
has the prospect been brighter for in
tclligence and capacity in the Old Do
the horizon of opportunity is widening.
The actual growth of Virginia in manu-
featuring and commercial lines has
been especially brought to the atten-
tion of The Times-Dispatch through
the editor of its Industrial Section.
The reports of what is being done are
so good that at the risk of appearing to
recount TOO boldly our own achieve
ments, we feel it proper to mention
what has been brought to our attention.
Within recent months there have been
started at Waverly three nail keg fac
tories, which came to Virginia because
tho lumber supply has been exhausted
in PENNSYLVANIA. These factories are
under contract with the American Steel
and Wire Company, and keep steadily
employed 10 men. Chase City has
opened a factory for making butter
dishes and fruit baskets. Emporia has
started large factory for box shocks,
the entire output of which Is taken by
the standard Oil Company. South Bos-
ton has started a new laundry. Ken
bridge. which was recently Thinking
has planned for two tobacco ware
houses, the capital for which has been
subscribed entirely In Richmond and
Danville. Petersburg has new $500
shoe factory and $4,000 cold storage
plant. Boykins is in fair way of
openirg n cotton manufacturing plant
and largo brick works. The striking
fact in all OF these developments is
the exception OF tho factories in Wav-
orly, come entirely from Virginia
sources. This means that Virginia
capital and Virginia labor have COM
bined to use their mutual resources for
the development and upbuildng of
their Commonwealth.
No longer is it the cry, Go West
young man." The West is coming
East The climatic and social advan-
tages of Virginia have never been dues-
toned apparently the commercial and
manufacturing opportunities of Vir-
sinia are also to be put beyond the
chance of cavil.
