BIG STONE GAP
And The Great Mineral And Farming
Sections That Surround II.


Mr.. w. G. Coutts. one Of the
most enthusiastic citizens of
Big Stone Gap, and one who
takes a great interest i'm Board
of Trade work, expects to leave
here this week for trip TO
Canada and his native home
lie will 60 first Go Cleveland
aud Detroit, and from there. by
boat, 70 Goodrich, Ont, where
he owns some valuable proper
ty, which he hopes Go dispose
of while away.
While there he will investi-
gate a big electric and water
power scheme that is being put
through at that place, in order
TO be more thoroughly posted
on matters of this kind. Mr..
Coutts has for some time been
very enthusiastic over a pro-
posed electric line connecting
the great farming section of
Lee county with the coal mines
OF this section and believes that
the water power of the Powell
Is sufficient TO furnish the
necessary power for a system Of
this kind, as well as to supply
power TO industries in every
town IN the entire section of
country. To our mind there is
no question that an electric line
connecting the farming and
mining sections of this country
would be a paying affair, and
will some day be "A reality
The great number of mines in
this and adjoining counties
afford a great market for all
kinds of farm products, and
Lee county and part of Wise
county has as good farming and
trucking land as is TO be found
In the state. The great trouble
now Is getting the products to
the mines. An electric line
would solve this problem.
Recently Mr. Coutts has had
C n derable correspondence
with Mr.. Alex Nc d. Allen, a
prominent electric line pro-
moter, who has been very sue
eessfui in building some i'm
portant lines in Canada, as well
as a vast number of other enter
prises, and he has expressed a
to come down here
and investigate our great water
and the feasibility of
building a great electric system
IN this section. From what we
have heard of this gentleman
he has the ability and influence
to carry through any thing he
undertakes, and we believe the
Board of Trade would act wise-
ly IN trying to get Mr.. Allen
down here, and that we would
profit greatly by his advice and
suggestions. He might be in
duced 20 locate here permanent
ly.
Whatever benefits this sec
ton will benefit Big Stone Gap.
We have here in successful
operation one of the largest

CELERY IN cLYNN COUNTY.

We have called attention to the fact
several times that good celery can be
produced and is being produced in
Glynn county. over on st. simon's
island an experiment has been made
by well-knowu citizen OF the island
and the result is that he has grown
a character of celery equal in every
way to that grown in Kalamazoo or
in Florida.
The News believes that if our ener-
gedc farmers Of Glynn county would
take up this question Of celery raising
they would touch upon a commodity
bound to bring splendid dividends.
On this line the following from the
Savannah Morning News of yesterday
is of genuine interest:
In a communication published in
the Morning News yesterday. the
statement is made that great deal
Of celery was grown in Chatham coup-
ty years ago and that its cultivation
was abandoned simply because the
celery growers Of Kalamazoo, Mich.
could grow celery at less cost, The
impression made by the comnlunica-
ton is that it is useless. to undertake

care. The men who cultivated celery
in Kalamazoo knew their business
thoroughly and the result is that Their
product has gained a reputation that
enables them 10 sell i in competition
with celery grown in other localities
and in some markets TO get a better
price for it.
Now the kind Of celery that It is
proposed to grow in Chatham county
is q little better than that which was
grown here years ago. 1t will be equal

account Of climatic conditions. a. :
considerably less cost The celery
grown at Sanford, Fla. is as good as
that grown at Kalamazoo, and thee
IS a ready market for al that is pro-
dueed there. The output there IS
larger. Celery has made the Sanford
people prosperous.
III celery is grown At Sanford at
q big profit. why cannot It be grown
here at just as great profit, if we
have the right kind Of soil and cl-
mate? The expert Of the department
of agriculture who visited the county
4 few days ago, ard examined the
sells and made inquiries respecting
the climate. says that there is here
everything that could be desired for
the growing Of celery
As far as We can see nov, there is
a pretty strong sentiment among
farmers and Others Of the county to-
give celery culture a trial"
