Building on the Boom.

To such an extent have building
operations begun to boom" at Tampa
that there is a general demand for
workmen in all lines of building
trades, and the announcement of new
business blocks to be erected is a
matter of record practically every
day. Substantial inroads are being
made on the slum section, generally
known as the Scrub" several brick
warehouses and factories now being
in the course of construction. The
union depot has started building in
that direction, and before long, it is
believed, the ramshackle buildings
which stand in the present negro sec
ton will be merely a memory.

Line Will Extend Through Beautiful
Section of the Allegheny Mountains.
One of the richest, as well as the
most beautiful sections in the entire
south, will be opened up by the Elkln
and Allegheny railroad, which will
build a line through the mountains at
an early date. At present IL miles OF
the road is graded, from Elkin, N. g.,
othe foot of the mountains, and it is
proposed to extend the road beyond
the Blue Ridge mountains, through
Allegheny and Ashe counties, N. e.,
and on into Virginia or Tennessee and
connect with some road, thus giving a
through line from north to south.
This line will traverse a section rich
in mineral and timber wealth. sec
ton heretofore almost isolated because
of lack of railways Some of the finest
stretches of virgin timber lands to be
found nthe United States will be
traversed and development on gigan.
tic scale will follow the construction Of
this line.
John A. Mills, president of the Ra,
leigh and Southport Railroad company,
and associates have completed ar.
rangements whereby they will finance
the Elkin and Allegheny road, and &C,
tive work will be pushed on a large
scale.

HOLDER FOR SPEAKER.
With BurweIl of Hancock Out of Race
No Contest Probable In House.

The retirement of William H. Bur-
we'll, of Hancock county, IRON the race
for the speakership of the Georgia
house of representatives, leaves the
field practically open to John N. Hold
er, of Jackson county, former speaker,
who will probably be elected unani-
mouSly.
However, one other name has been
seriously mentioned in connection with
the office-that of H. w. Hopkins, of
Thomas, but there has been no formal
announcement of his candidacy, and it
is by no means sure his name will be
presented at all.
Judge Holders friends declare that
he has been pledged more than enough
votes to assure his election by large
majority under any circumstances. So
the likelihood seems that the organiza-
ton of the house will be effected with
out contest on the speakership, when
it convenes June %.
Theer will be a fight, however, for
the office of speaker pro tenn, as Carl
Vinson, of Baldwin, and M. C. Tarver,
of Whitfield, have both formally an
nounced.
John NJ. Slaton will be reelected
president of the senate without oppo,
sition. A. o. Blalock, of Fayetteville,
is candidate for president pro TEN.
