West Virginia make no claim TO

of our state. Like Montague said of
his writings, II have gathered the

however. that West virglnia's progress

no other state in the Union.

Secretary of State Delivers a
Patriotic Address In
dependence Day.

BUcKHAtNNoN, July 6.-Secretary
of State Stuart r. Reed, was the ora
tor of the day at the big Fourth OF
July celebration held here.
The speaker dwelt upon the prog
ress of the country and different
phases and problems of our modern
civilization. In referring to the
growth of West Virginia he gave some
interesting information about the state
saying in part:
1 have, upon other occasions, spok-
en- at length concerning the people OF
our state. their place in history and
their achievements. Without chag-
ing in the least. my earnest belief
that the real wealth of a state is rep
resented by the courage. culture and
aspirations of It's citizens, shall
spend a moment dwelling upon ma
terial things as they are related to the
growth and progress of West Virginia
On such occasions as this we are ali
Americans-all West Virginians. Po-
litical and religious beliefs, and other
differences are forgotten as we join
with our neighbors in contemplation
of our heritage as people and the
advantages our state possesses.
As citizens with mutual interests we
are proud of our state and its relative
position in the Sisterhood of states,
There are seven states in the Union
smaller than West Virginia and COM
pared with the other states we rank
forty-third In area and Acknowledgment
in population.
In the combined values of her sew
eral products West Virginia ranks
fourth; In the production of COAL sec
ond. and ranks first among the states
OF the Union in the supply of petro-
leum, gas and hard woods. The total
wealth of the United States is esti-
mated at over 100000 and more than
a thousand rnillion dollars of this
wealth is in West Virginia.
The Kingdom of Belgium is about
half the size of West Virginia, and not
nearly so We'll endowed with natural
Resources. Yet the fact that her pop
ulation is about seven times that of
ours. teaches us 1t will be a good
while before we can consider our
selves overcrowded.
Our smallest county is Hancock.
having am area of eighty-six quare
miles and corresponding in size very
nearly to the District of Columbia.
while our largest county. Randolph,
contains several thousand more acres
than the entire state OF Rhode Island.
1t Is only a few years ago that we
began to make rapid strides In mater
ial growth. Taxable property of all
kinds, valued a decade ago at little
over two hundred millions. is today
valued at over one thousand millions
of dollars.
In just a little more than decade
we have built one thousand miles OF
standard gauge railroad. and erected
over one thousand school houses.
We have increased the length OF our
free school term flfty per cent-piaced
flfty thousand more children In school
and employed fourteen hundred more

teachers to instruct them. and in the
meantime the value of our school
property has Increased from three mil
lions to nine millions of dollars.
A decade ago we had but limited
number of Industries in West Virginia.
In ten years we have added two thou
sand new industries. Among these 1t
may be of interest to remember that
an axe factory at Charleston. a zinc
plant at clarksburg. a pumping sta
tion in Wetzel county are the largest
concerns of their kind in the world.
The number of coal mines In opera
ton has grown from one hundred and
fifty to seven hundred and eighty
eight with an unusual product valued
at about fifty million dollars, or over
four times the annual product of all
the gold mines of California. One
years coal output, If loaded Mt one
time would fill freight cars enough to
occupy two tracks extending from New
York to San Francisco.
A decade ago. tin plate mills were
practically unheard of. but today
West Virginia makes nearly half of
the tin manufactured in the United
States. :.
In this same time daily newspapers
have Increased one hundred per cent,
newspaper subscriptions four hundred
per cent, and railroad mileage ninety
per cent.
A decade ago fifteen thousand
homes had neither a piano or an or
gan. Today arly fifty thousand
homes in West Virginia have musical
instruments of this class.
Another evidence of our growth in
ten years may be seen in our in
creased mails. The expenditure of
our people, annually for postage
stamps, has grown from five nun
dred Thousand dollars to one million
five hundred thousand dollars. Ten
years ago but few people in the state
had ever heard of rural free delivery,
but now one hundred and thirty thou.
sand people are being served daily
by rural mail carriers.
With the great navigable Ohio river
around our western border
for over three hundred miles. with
three interior rivers improved and
over three thousand miles OF railroad
we are fairly we'll equipped to reach
the leading markets of America with
our products.
During the year 1905 we manufac-
tured eight hundred and fifty-six mil
lions feet of lumber in West Virginia
AT that rate we are taking timber
from one hundred thousand acres of
land In this state in one year. Wisdom
and common sense pleads that these
mountain lands be raplanted and a
new growth OF seryiceable trees start
ed to provide future supply. We
shall manufacture this timber here at
home.
Our coal is being taken from the
hills at the rate of more than Ave
thousand acres every year. Think OF
t-over five thousand acres OF coal
lands exhausted each year, one hun.
bred thousand acres OF timber lands
denuded. but even at that rate we can
dig coal in West Virginia, SO the sta
dsticlans tell US. for over thirteen hun

Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills almost every wish in correcting
rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys,
liver, bladder and every part of theurinary
passage. corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
through the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
