HARRISONBURG VA, July Ia
Representative Jones, speaks here to-
morrow. HarrisonburE rs all agoE. In
this Martin Swanson stronghold the
chief matter of interest Is as to who
win introduce the speaker. The idea
has gotten abroad that a zones man
always introduces him 10 the crowd.
But II appears that the Jones men here
among the politicians--if there are
any-are .laying low and sayin'
nothin'.'
Again It has been suggested that
county chairman Graham, as a matter
Of courtesy. in formal ana perfume
tor manner will introduce ms reilow
Democrat. bespeak for him the atten .
ton and courtesy of the audienee--and
then sit down.
And again Harrisonburg feels GER
tain that Jones regards this as the
psychological spot to read another
bunch of letters. Everybody is on tip
toe, waiting for something exciting,
The developments SO far do not seem
TO have disturbed the Martin Swanson
adherents in the slightest. And these

METHODISTS TO BUILD LARGE
CHURCH AT ALTAVISTA

Especial to The Richmond virginian.)
AfTAFIsTA, July 1.-THE year
nld handsome little Methodist church
here has just been purchased by the
Episcopalians OF the Campbell diocese.
The consideration was, &2.a00. cash
and a $1,000 lot given the latter by
the Altavista authorities.
The Methodists had outgrown their
church, and since the Episcopalians
were compelled TO build $4,000
church at once to hold the lot donat-
ed for that purpose, they found II
cheaper TO buy the church offered by
the Methodists.
The Episcopal church at Lynch
Station will be abandoned and much
OF Its furnishings moved to the new
church.
The Methodists will begin at once
on the lot acquired to erect large
brick edince at a cost OF $1,000.

an interview to-day ,
Seek Outlet to Lakes.
In my personal opinion contfn-
ued Mr.. Bryan. the Baltimore and
Ohio win not bridge the Ohio river
at Huntington nor at any other point,
but will simply obtain track rightage
from the Norfolk and Western over
their bridge to point opposite
Kenova, connecting at tnat place with
an extention of the Chesapeake ter
minal OF the Huntington-G allia short
line and forming the cheapest and
most direct outlet to the lakes
When informed of the rumors, to
the effect that the Baltimore and
Ohio would probably build parallel
line to the Big Sandy division Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio as an outlet for
their recent acquisition in the Elk
horn coal fields. Mr.. Bryan said that
this was absurd on the face of II and
that the Baltimore and Ohio had no
fight nor even hard feeling against
the Chesapeake and Ohio.
No Money to Spare.
why the expenditure of building
line down the Big Sandy Valley

more and Ohio hasn't any money TO

will probably arrange for track

preliminary steps will probably he
taken In this direction at once, con-
tinued the superintendent. although
active negotiations or work on the
new connections will not be com
menced for many months to come.
