WEST VIRGINIA
Southern Prosperity Number
Contains Article by Gov
ernor Glasscock.

In the Southern Prosperity number
of Leslie's Weekly to be issued
Thursday appears the following ar
ticle by Governor William E. Class
cock concerning West Virginia:
West Virginia, situated within the
very heart of the population aud
wealth of this country, rich in nat
urai resources, offers to enterprise
and capital, most inviting field, and
that this is known and appreciated
is evidenced by the fact that she is
attracting both from all parts Of :Ac
world. Her development within the
last decade has Ter exceeded the ex-
pectations of the most sanguine, and
yet the morning Of her greatness is
Just dawning, her inexhaustible re-
sources are only touched.
With population of one and a
quarter million, she is just beginning
to realize the great things which are
in store Off her-her natural facil-
tiles for becoming great farming
and industrial Commonwealth. Her
climate. free from the extreme rigors
of winter and the sultry. humid heat
of summer, is unsurpassed by that of
any other state. Upon her soil grows
nearly every grain and vegetable in
digenous to the temperate zone. Her
apple and peach orchards are the fin
est and most productive in the world.
Fruit growing is now the leading
business in many parts of the state,
and West Virginia is soon destined
to take first place in this industry.
With the breaking up of the great
sheep and cattle ranches in the West,
the sheep and cattle growers are
looking for new fields, and no better
place can be found than West Vlr-
ginia for this great industry. She
produces more blue grass than the
famous Blue Grass state, and thcre
are yet six million acres untouched,
a large percentage of which could
be utilized for grazing purposes.
West Virginia's greatest source Of,
wealth at present is in her coal, oil,
gas and timber. She has a greater
coal area than Pennsylvania or 1lli-
nois, and the quality of her coal IS
the very best. She ranks second in
this great industry, producing nearly
one-sixth of all the bituminous coal
mined in the United States. New
fields of oil and gas are constantly
