Should you ever find 1t necessary to
obtain the diameter Of fine wire, Il
may be done in this manner: Wind II
carefully around a piece Of pencil In
one layer for an inch or so, that each
turn Is touching the previous one. Then

introduced to the convention by Senator
A I. Lincoln, of Smyth county.
After his introduction Mr.. Slemp
made speech of acceptance, in which
he expressed his grateful thanks for the
expression of confidence given him by

sentative of the Ninth District in Con-

done by Congress at its last session.
Mr. Slemp also paid a high tribute to
President Roosevelt and his administra-
ton, and closed with discussion of the
principles and policies of the two great
national parties. The speech was
strong one, and was we'll received by
the large audience.
The chairman then announced that
the next business in order was the
election of district chairman and five
members of the district committee, who
are also members of the state COM
mittee.
A. P. Crockett placed the name Of P.
j. Davenport before the convention for

TRACK LAYING BEING RUSHED.
C'inchfeld-CaroIina May Be Completed
BY November First.

1t is estimated that track laying on
the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio Rail
road will be completed through Scott
county by Nov. 1. The track has been
laid from st. Paul, in Wise county, to
Dungannon, in Scott county, and is
pushing on toward Fort Blackmore.
The tunnels, including the great Clinch
mountain tunnel, at Speer's Ferry, are
all completed, and the grading is being
finished all along the line. The steel
trestle which is to be one hundred and
eighty feet high, and to span Copper
Greek valley, is being constructed.
This is the only trestle on the line in
Scott county, great fills being made in
place of trestles at all other points. The
roadbed will be one of the best in the
United States, having been constructed
on most expensive scale. 1t is hewn
through the solid adamant of the great
bluffs and Is everywhere made wide
enough for double tracks. This is to be
great coal-carrying road and greatly
reduces the distance from the coal
fields to the South Atlantic coast. A
hne grade has been made, and it is said
that an engine can draw fifty loaded
cars over its entire length. The build
ing of this great road through Scott
county has made money plentiful there.
Many poor men who were in debt when
Its construction began three years ago
have saved enough money to buy small
farms for themselves. Others who
never had any money of consequence
before now have snug bank accounts.

held was beautifully decorated with
bunting, flags, eYergreens and flowers,
thanks to the fair ladies of the progress
sive little city.
The speeches were the best that have
ever been heard in a Republican con-
vention in the district. OF course they
were not as good as are made in Demo-
cratic conventionsG)
The people of Norton showed their
appreciation of the gathering by at
tending its deliberations in large num-
bers, many of the ladies' grazing the
hall with their presence.
Norton did all and more than it prom
ised 10 do in the way of entertaining
the convention. The Board of Trade,
who had charge of the preparations,
showed fine spirit, and won the graft
tude and admiration of all the delegates.
The citizens generally were very gener-
GUS in their hospitality. Among those
who entertained visiting friends were
Mr.. and Mrs. C. C. Hyatt. Their
beautiful home was thrown wide open,
and 1t was a pleasure to be a guest
there.
1t is our purpose to say more about
Norton before a great while. The town
and its people are worthy of much
praise.
