number of months ago Mr.. Kilburn
went before the Commercial club

way clear to grant the request.
Since then, he has been active in ar
ranging the matter for himself, and
the announcement is now made that
the business will be in full operation
by spring.
Plant Installed.
The equipment already installed
consists of a band saw, a turning
lathe, a modern machine drill and
a boring machine, and a planer will
be added within a short time. The
total value Of the machinery Just
put in will amount to over $4,000
and more will be added as fast as
possible.
At present the factory is turning

spring opens up it is intended to
commence the manufacture of wheel
barrows on an extensive scale. Nu-
merous other articles will be among
The list of products, which are to
include tool handles, double-trees,

Hitchcock will leave the Taft Cabinet

political mystery during the past two

publlcans believe lie Is certain TO sup
port Roosevelt. Friends of Morgan

have always charged that 1t was
Hitchcock who pitched Treat out Of

'and the twenty-four Virginia votes
cast for him will be worth counting.
IN the eyes of the people. Mr.. Roosevelt
is bigger and more popular figure
than Mr.. Taft, but Mr.. Taft will UNI
questionably secure the nomination.
He will be nominated because he will
have the delegates. Than Mr.. Roose

But il Roosevelt should happen TO
defeat Taft at Chicago, and should hap
pen to defeat the Democratic candi-

Republican upheaval In Virginia that
1t has ever known. All of the party
lenders in this State will havA arraycd
themselves against him in the mean
time. He would go into office with few
political friends of record in Virginia.
Just here the suggestion is made that
It would give him a good chance TO
pick fresh material Tor the new party
In the South no has long advocated.
Roosevelt won't feel SO grateful for
the votes in December If he failed TO
