DIXIE GOES AHEAD.
1.-The New Wild West.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

HOPEWELL. Va. March 11.-This is
the new industrial south with a ven
geance 1t is civil war battlefields sold
at auction: planters of ancient lineage
made millionaires. colonial estates con-
verified into factories, and all in less
than a year. Last week a gang of for
eign laborers digging III the burrows
of cornfield unearthed the skulls of
two Confederate soldiers. They were
placed on exhibition in the window of
shack drug store and later were
stolen by a Greek That incident could
not have happened anywhere else in
the world.
Hopewell is hard to describe, because
there is nothing like il. 1t is raw as a
new bruise, ugly as crime. and vital as
life itself. Fire wiped it out, and the
next day ii spranS UP again IN gaunt
yellow frames out of its own smoking
ruin. 1t is not a city. 1t is not even
a town. 1t is a phenomenon. 1t is hu-
man energy making home out of
crude materials-barren land. men of
a dozen races and the need of a Tight
ing world for powder.
This is q frontier of industry, and
it has all the marks of frontier life.
There are the adventurous men from
everywhere. ready to fight for their
rights and lives; the narrow. swarming
streets. the implanted shacks, the dance
halls and theaters, the money easily
made and rapidly spent. the freedom
and the energy that made the romance
of the west. The stage coaches are
jitneys and there have been plenty of
thrilling hold-ups.
At this point if must be said to the
detriment of romance but to the great
credit of Hopewell. that its days of
riot and license are rapidly passing.
Civic, pride has awakened. Politics is
taking the place of gun play. Men are
making homes for wives and mothers
Hopewell will soon be a sober. orderly
city. But that's another story. First
you must hear of the birth and the
strenuous infancy of this lusty indus
trial baby. which has SO shocked and
aStonished its eminently reSpecta BILE
parent. the grand old commonwe wealth of
Virginia.
