The completion of the connecting
link between the Pocahontas coal
fields and Charleston will be a great
thins for Charleston. provided the
good people OF that city do not neg

fords them. just as they have, for

people Of the state are not envious of
ths wealth that Charleston has and

city. They are only profoundly dis
appointed that Charleston has not
grown and prospered to far greater
sxtsnt by the utilization of her natural
Advantages; and this feeling OF regret
ent appointmcnt has been tinged
With humiliation that our chief city
hAs fallen 80 far behind towns in
