original boo** was spontaneous and
arooo out <otT the faot that residents of
Salem und of Roanoko county saw the
' probabilities of tbo plaoe, interested
l themselves and their relatives out of
i the State, and put ?300,000 Into land
\ thoro at the first sale. This large trans
I action attraotcd universal attention to
i Salem and outside capital poured in
[ Almost unsolicited.
' "II is a shame that such a statement
should be made public. The merchants
of Baltimore ought to know that tills
country is, to a certain extent, tribu?
tary to Baltimore and will pour into her
coffers a volume of business groator
than any manufacturing establishment
situated in the city. From the very
nature of things, tho prosperity of Vir?
ginia means tho prosperity of tho whole?
sale business of Baltimore
"To ono who has watched tho history
of accumulated capital of lato years, its
movement into this direction is natural,
lloro in Virginia are found all tho re?
quisites of civilization. Tho iron oro
is here from which is wrought all man?
ner of products; tho coal is hero to re?
duce the iron; tho limestone is here,
and the broad fields for agriculture to
sustain a teeming population. Other
products of tho earth aro in abundance,
and the beginning of our development
into a vast manufacturing region is at
hand.
"The West, or rather thoso portions of
it which aro purely agricultural, do not
offer that diversity whioh capital de?
mands to make investment perfectly
safe. This money has boon largely
withdrawn from that country because,
of the uncertainty of tho returns from
it, and is cipher being hoarded or in?
fested in sections like this, which offer
evory olemont of safety.
"The Argontino Republic has been
abandoned by foreign capital by reason
of its insecurity, whioh insecurity nrist s
from tho fact that tho country in ques?
tion is purely agricultural. That-capi?
tal is now seeking investment,, and
there, are. no opportunities afforded any?
where for safe and liberal dividends like
this region, endowed by nature with
tli* riebest deposits of coal und Iron,
tho basis of civilization.
"It looks as though Mr. Supploo en?
tertained tbo idea that Baltimore must
bo sustained at tbo expense of tho
death of all the growing interests of
the South. Mr. Suppleo would kill the
goo.io that lays the golden egg.
? "It does not seem to mo tho part, of
wisdom to attack tho foundation of tho
Soulh'6 now hope; that section whioh
to-day is attracting the attention of tbo
world and is now acting as a magnet to
draw the thought and money of thou?
sands who look for solid investments in
countries which atford diversified oppor?
tunities."
WHAT Mil. I.UnWIO HAS TO S.W.
F. U. Liiidwig: "Haltimoro possibly
.furnishes 6 por cont. of the capital in?
vested in Southwest Virginia; certainly
not more. I will also say that if any
roputablo business man of Baltimore
shows to mo that ho has lost any
money through investment in Roanoke,
1 will make good that loss myself, and :
will take off tho hands of the dissatis?
fied one any holdings ho may have
hero.
"It is woll known among business
men that Baltimore is eminently con- '
?ervativo in business vontunCs, and its
Capitalists rarely act contortedly in
-Ch enterprises :?s hav.o. lie on inaugu?
rated in this /^^/on in tho past few
years. They g^ein as individuals, and
to a limited extent. I recall ono in?
stance whero a certain company was
organized of lato with a capital stock of
$1,000,000. Baltimore's subscription to
this was 8.10,000, Philadelphia's share
was 5300,000, and this is tho true pro?
portion of relativo subscriptions
between the two cities, and of tho two
cities to Southwest Virginia."
a nohpoi.k han'S OPINION*.
Walter Sharpe, of Norfolk, a pro?
moter of and leading man in business
enterprises in that city, was interviewed
by a representative of TlIK TlMKS upon j
the subject. Mr. Sharpe is thoroughly i
conversant with tho subject, a man of I
affairs, and one who succeeded in cans- i
ing the corporate limits of Norfolk to ;
be oxtendod nearly to Lambert's Point.
Ho is tbo originator of and prime mover
in tbo organization of tho Virginia
Stato Real Estate Exchange. He is an
old resident of Haltimoro, and condemns
tho uttorance.s of Mr. Suppleo in the |
strongest terms.
"Mr. Suppleo," said he, "is apt to get
?B tbo wrong sido of important mat- j
tors, and his statements should carry
no weight. Tho fact that land is I
cheaper within two miles of the City
Hall of Haltimoro than it is within the
rtamo distanco of tho business center of
Roanoke, as Htatod by Mr. Supploe, is
an evidence of a want of enterprise on
tbo part of Baltimore merchants; they
are afraid of ono another and afraid of
themsolvos."
Tho bankers generally express tho
sentiments of Mr. Trout, above, and say
that thoy do but little, business, com?
paratively, with Baltimore's fiscal in?
stitutions, and fiay that the evidences of
thoir transactions with Maryland's chief
city is that it has made money largely
through its investments here. The
money, in tho judgment of the bankers,
now largely coming from Philadol
, adelphia and Now England, and is for
tho purposo of erecting plants for man?
ufacturing purposes strictly,
It is a matter of gcnoral opinion
about town by those calculated to know
that investments made of late by Balti?
more parties is with profits derived
from previous speculations here.
The Virginia Brewing Company is a
corporation of which capitalists of
Baltimore aro certainly cognizant. This
company was formed by a Raltimoroan
and is now managed by one, though the
stook is largely hold' locally. It is a
most remunerative, property, and its
big dividends have sent the stock
booming.
Ono gentleman said that it was a
matter of common notoriety that Haiti
more parties had laid down on their
contracts to buy in this section on many
occasions of lato. This party also said
that of the two carloads of people who
eamo on to the Woodland Park sale,
but five or six of the purchasers were
Jrom Baltimore.
Tho general concensus of opinion ap?
pears to bo that Mr. Supploe speaks in
this matter for himself, and not for the j
capitalists of Baltitn ore, but if any con?
certed action is taken by that city
against this section, tho people hero
will rosent it by withdrawing the tens
?of thousands of dollars which are
.monthly being sent to Haltimoro for
nupplios, as they will regard such action
ob a monaco to their interests, and in
that event Baltimore's business inter?
ests will bo damaged moro than will
ibis section.
Of tho iniorosts in which Baltimore
oapital ia invested hero may he men?
tioned tho West End Land Company.
JJ200.000; tho Crystal Springs Land
Company. S40.000, and tho Koanoke Do
volopment Company, 850,000. This does
not represent money put in, but stock
subscribed to, of which from 20 to 40
per cent, has boon paid in. Tho stock
of tho ilrst two companies is how held
to bo worth a premium and could roadily
bo placed in this city in that way. Tho
stock of tho Development Company is
now regarded as ono of the most prom?
ising properties in Southwest Virginia
and anyone who is dissatisfied can quit
winner by mentioning tho fact to any
Koanokcr.

REMARKABLE GROWTH Max Meadows, Wyttie County,
or Salem, "The Queen City of the South?
west."
The Salem Improvement Company,
tho most successful organization of its
kind in Virginia, bad its first sale of lots
December 11, 188?. Since that time the
growth of Salem has been marvelous.
About 100 houses have been built; 81,
000.000 spent in buildings and improve?
ments; the population nearly doubled,
and tbo business of the postoillco and
telegraph office increased 500 per cent.
The iron furnace about to go into blast,
the factories in operation and actually
secured will employ several thousand
hands and insure the doublintr of the
present population of 4,000 in another
year.
Negotiations are nearly closed for ad?
ditional plants to employ several thou?
sand bands, and tho land companies,
with an aggregate capital stock of JM,
000,000, bavo voted liberal sums for new
Industries. A cotton factory and a
woolen mill (nearly completed) that will
manufacture its goods into clothing,
will employ a large number of females.
Tbo early extension of tho Haltimoro
and Ohio and the Roanoke and Southern
to Salem will make it an important rail?
way center, and hasten its growth into
a huge iron, stool and general manufac?
turing and commercial city. Salem and
Roanoke, now rapidly growing together,
are destined to bo the groat industrial
center of Virginia.
Sab ie is the most attractive town in
Virginia; and it may well bo proud of
Virginia.

river, both under active construction, a :

Max Meadows is only forty miles in

It is surrounded by iron ore properties,

The Improvement Company proposes
to celebrate the anniversary of its first
great sale of lots by offering on Decem?
