from the Kentucky penitentiary he
moved to Virginia, where in Buchanan

MUCH NEW
RAILROAD WORK
This Year will Be the Banner Year For
New Work in the SOuthWeSt-Ths
ViTgnian Will Build to Coal
Fields of Buchanan.

Not, perhaps, in the memory of any
now living in Southwest Virginia has
80 much new construction work in the
building of new railroans and opening
of new mines been projected.
There seems to be no question but the
Virginian will build to the coal fields of
Buchanan county and it is to be hoped
the line will pass through Tazewell, al
though there is an alternate route by
way of Wharncliff and entering Buch-
anan from the north. In addition to
this the Virginian now contemplates an
extension to Huntington in order to Sc
cure an outlet to the Lakes.
The Louisville and Nashville will
probably extend its line to the Ken
lucky coal field near Jackson. To do
this the Louisville and Nashville has
bought the Louisville and Atlantic
which runs from Badersville juno
tion to Versailles. 1t connects with the
Louisville and Nashville at Richmond
and from Richmond it will 90 to the
terminal of the l.. & N. and from there
into the town of jackson and adjacent
coal fields. This extension will open I'D
an extensive territory.
During the present week the Norfolk
and Western will open bids on a large
amount of new work. The contract of
greatest interest to the Clinch Valley
will be the extension from Cedar Bluff
to Berwind- This will involve a 400
foot tunnel through the Sandy and will
be one of the largest contracts let in
this section this year. The completion
OF this cut off will mean large volume
of freight between the Southern Sea-
board and the Great Lakes viii event

Major Walton viii Not Accept Presidency.

Major S. Walton, of Falls Mills, has
announced that it will be impossible for
him again to accept the presidency of
the Virginia-C Carolina Georgia Circuit,
an Office he has filled ever since the cir
cult was organized. Whether Major
Walton will be allowed to carry out such
a determination is very doubtful; fo1
from all accounts, representatives of
fairs and racing enterprises will be
very loath to give him up, and it is pre-
dicted that they will not allow him to
retire without vigorous opposition.
To Major Walton's interest and hard
work is largely due the successful or
ganization of the circuit, and every man
in the four States who is interested in
such matters recognizes that the circuit
has come to stay; that it is an estab-
lished institution, and that the great
benefits which the business has enjoyed
from its operation, are attributable
almost entirely to the time and money
which Major Walton has expended in
its behalf.

FOR MONUMENT
AT GETTYSBURG
Virginia Committee Recommends Design and
Site to the LeglSIaiuTe--SieHrS Design
The One Accented.

As one of the last of his official acts
as governor, Governor Swanson on Mon
day sent special message to the Leg
islature asking for the adoption of the
plans of F. William Sievers for the
erection of a monument to the Virginia
soldiers who took part in the battle of
Gettysburg. t.at.r
In his message the governor stated
that the committee had gone over the
ground thoroughly before q site for the
monument was selected and had exam
ined minutely number of plans for the
monument before coming to decision.
The plans of Mr.. Sievers provide for
a large monument to the branches of
the Confederate army which took part
in the battle of Gettysburg, surmount-
ed by an equestrian statute. of General
Robert Z. Lee. .aQ 81 ..ir2 n-'irt
1hs design of Mr.. Sievers is a most
beautiful conception and, in the opinion
of the members of the committee, is
almost ideal for the purpose intended
The site selected is near Spangler's
woods, on Confederate avenue, on the
battlefield, and the monument will be
almost exactly on the spot from which
General Lee viewed the Confederate
soldiers as they charged up Cemetery
Ridge.
The message of the governor was re-
ceived by the Legislature and referred
to the finance committee of the two
houses, which will decide as to whether
the $5O,0O0 appropriation which was
provided by the lsst Legislature, should
be expended, as suggested by the com
mittee. There is no doubt, however,
that the committees findings will be
accepted. ,r
