LONG SEPARATED CHILD
AND MOTHER REUNITED

Luray. Va. Oct 26.--For twenty
four years thinking her mother dead
and believing herself to be without
relatives in this country, Miss Emma
Wilhelm, Of this county. will in few
day Leave for Maryland. In which
State she recently discovered her
mother to be living.
The mother in all these years has
also believed the daughter dead, as no
tidings In all that time had been learn
ed Of her whereabouts. About twenty
two years ago DR. Henry M. Wharton.
the present pastor of Brantley Bap-
fist Church. Baltimore. organized an
institution near Luray, known as the
whatsoever Farm" the object OF the
institution being the care OF orphan
children. Among those given home
was Miss Emma Wilhelm, then = mere

from Baltimore orphan asylum.
Time wore on and the Wilhelm girl
grew from babyhood to gtrlhood. The

TO locate relatives proved futile. Hear

Wilhelm's every effort was doomed to
disappointment.
Some time ago DR.. Wharton re-
ceived a letter from his cousin, Mrs.
Albert Nichols, OF Luray, and In the
letter Mrs Nichols made reference to
Miss wilhelm. telling the Baltimore
divine that she had good home with
the family OF DIR. Brumback DIR.
Wharton then remembered that In re-
cent years he had often heard the
Wilhelm name in Maryland and he
at once began to communicate with
many residents of that State bearing
that name. The result was that Mrs.
Laura Rhul. of Monkton. that State,
was found to he the mother Of Miss

BIG CARBON CONTRACT
STORY Is DENIED

Roanoke yesterday to the effect that
the Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke Com
pany had contracted to supply the
DUPONT Powder Company with pencil
carbon to the value of Si0,ooe.eoe, was
denied by John b. Newton. president
of the company, here yesterday
The rumor probably had It's source
in the wonderful jump which the stock
of the Virginia Iron. Coal and Coke
Company has taken in the past four or
Ave months. Like other companies in
the iron and steel business, this con-
Germ has benefited by the heavy for
eign demand for steel products.
Mr.. Newton said yesterday that the
stock OF his company had about doubled
in the past four months. the price
quoted yesterday being IS. But de-
spite the fact that the pig iron and
steel Industries are booming. the vir-
ginia Iron, Coal and Coke Company
is not operating up to it's capacity. All
the furnaces are not running, 1t was
said yesterday.
But this condition Is probably due
to the fact that the company looked
ahead bit several months ago and
stocked up pretty well on pig iron. 1t
was said yesterday that considerable
iron Is vet In stock and Ia being sold
at prices very much better than those
prevailing several months ago.
