vIRGINIA'S PROSPERITY.
Her Agricultural interests Have Made
Wonderful Strides But Her Manu-
featuring Products Excel.

Virginia's rapid development,
in recent years, has not been
confined 10 agriculture. Her
manufacturing and mining en-
terprises have kept pace with
her agricultural advance. In
every line of manufacture, Vir-
qinia capital and brains have
ventured and been successful.
Today the manufactured pro
ducts of Virginia exceed an
nually her agricultural pro-
ducts. The state today is more a
manufacturing than an agri-
cultural state. The prospects
for an increase in her manufac-
turing enterprises are most en-
couraging. Possessed of
splendid trunk lines of rail
ways, running in every direc-
hon. from north TO south, from
east to west. and blessed with
the water facilities of Chesa
peake Bay and its tributaries,
and large and navigable rivers
penetrating the state, she offers
every facility for cheap and
reasonable transportation in the
distribution of the products OF
her factories. The immense
water power contained in the
various rivers. as they run from
the mountains Go the sea. and
which is yet undeveloped, of
fers opportunity for manufac
turing enterprises which, wher
availed of. means an immense
increase of industries and
wealth. The accessibility of al
sections Of the state TO the grea'
coal fields of Southwest Nir
ginia and West Virginia, witt
three great lines of railway
competing, thus affording rea
sonable rates of transportation
is an advantage in manufacture
ing which must bring the loca
ton of large enterprises of thiI
kind 20 Virginia.
The opportunities for i'm
mense manufacturing and mer
camille establishments are fur
ther greatly enchanced by TIA
splendid harbOrs in Chesapeak
Bay, which brings them II
close contact with the market

HOUSE BURNED.
Blaze At Toms Creek Believed 20 Have
Been Caused by Robbers.

Georgel, Va, Oct. 10
Thomas High and family not
only lost their home in a fire
here Wednesday night, but $7O0
in cash which was left in a
trunk in the house, while they
were at church. 1t Is believed
that the house was robbed of
the money, then fired to cover
up the the theIt.
NeighbOrs hurried to the
scene with the hope of saving
the household goods, but by
the time ore bed was carried
out, the roof fell in and the en-
tire structure was a mass of fire.
The trunk that contained the
money was destroyed. and so il
Is possible that the family viii
never know whether il was
robbed in advance of the blaze
or not.
The building that burned wa:
the property of the Virginis
Iron, Coal & Coko Company.
The High family were no
aware of their loss until neigh
6ors went TO the church ans
notified them.

ARE BOARDING
THEIR GRAIN
Western Farmers Holding Their Crops
For High Prices.

A railway official is authority
for the statement that many
farmers are so prosperous that
they are stacking their small
grain, and will not send it 20
market until prices are at the
top notch. That means that
the Northwestern farmer has
reached the point when he is
able to get all the profit there is
in his business.
This will not only make diff
ference 20 MIN, but to the trans
portaton companies, and TO the
c onsume er-poor consumer.
Hitherto a large percentage Of
the farmers have rushed their
crops 20 market as soon as the
grain was thrashed. The re-
suit was the glut Of the market,
low prices and traffic congested
during the fall.
AS the growers become fiuan-
cially able TO hold their product
I the market should become more
stable. The grain of the coun
try Will be sold as needed. The
farmer will get what his pro
perty is worth instead of rush
ing it into the market for TIA,
benefit of the speculator, ano
taking what he can get. The
railway companies Will have
their crops moving operation
extended over a longer period
and consequently can give
better service.-St Paul Dis
patch.

VOTE

brought in by visitors 90 the
State fair and occasional re-
marks by the weekly news
papers indicate a disposition
among Virginia voters 20 stay
away from the polls next cleo
tion day. This tendency seems
TO be around in spots. OF
course the republicans are doing
all they can 90 encourage it.
IL groups of voters here and
there decline 20 vote, the aggre-
gate may be large and the effect
on the total vote serious.
We are surprised to hear Of
this feeling In the country.
Here in Richmond we were Op-
posed 60 the nomination Of
Judge Mann certainly as strong
ly as anybody in the State and
probably for some reasons.
Yet. In Richmond we hear no.
thing OF a bolt or sulking.
Taking a patriotic and business
like view Of the situation. our
people are convinced that the
interest OF the State would bee
injured by republican success.
Therefore. they will not only
decline % support the repubh-
can nominees but will vote
sohdly for the democratic
ticket. This city which gave
che largest majority in the State
against Judge Mann for demo-
cratic nominee certainly will
give him the largest majority
for governor.
Let the dissatisfied consider
two things. If they voted in the
primary they are bound in
honor and by promise not only
not Go vote against the nom
inees but 60 vote for them.
Failure 60 vote for these nom-
inees is half "a vote for the re-
publicans. Whether they voted
an the primary or not. their in
dividual interest and the in
terest Of the State requires that
the government shall be kept in
the hands of the democrats.
D The election OF "a republican ad-
ministration would mean simp-
ly political disturbance 1t
, would mean upheaval among
; our public institutions aud the
b blocking of business We do
E not know what the republican
b policies are. Representatives
} of the party talk vaguely of
{ economies and changes but they

as citizens our policy is TO go

democratic administration and
q keeping the thoughts and en-
r. ergies of the people on the ma
e teriai development of the Com
monwealth. If we believe this

Of course it would, and then the babies
of the poor could enjoy the conven-

the children of the rich do now. | be-
