Messrs. J. 8. SiimuoiiH, B.
A. Hives and F. U. Kemp,
the committee appointed by the Beul
Estate Exchange to get subscriptions
to the stock of the proposed land com?
pany through the property ol which
til** Roarioke aud Southern will puss,
did a very good day's work yesterday.
A number of public spirited citizens
subscribed liberally and early iu the
evening $18,500 of the stock tit $50 per
?hare had been taken.
The work of the committee wasneo
surity slow. Euch und every citixeu,
with the exception of those present at
the Monday afternoon meeting, hud
to have the entire pluu told to him
and made quite clear before his naiiio
was put to the end of the paper. This
of course took a great deal of time.
As soon us the nature of the plan had
been clearly set forth by the commit?
tee the name was willingly signed.
The committee are greatly en
eouruged by their success yesterday
ami express themselves as very well
satisfied with their efforts. They ex?
pect to raise the requisite sum of
$50,000 today with ease. The names
already subscribed to the paper ure
those of representative citizens in
whom the public have the greatest
confidence and they say that this is
an earnest that the company is bound
to succeed.
The Timbs has been requested to
reprint the plan of the company
for the information of those who did
Dot see the report of yesterday.
The idea is to form a stock company
with a capital stock of 150,000, buy
up the lands on which options are
now held, and dispose of it to the
construction company at reasonable
terms. The railroad it is thought
would not need all of the laud to be
purchased and the remainder could
be sold at u profit This plan, it is
thought, ?vould not cost the citizens
over $15,000. if that.
The plan is considered the most
feasible one that has been proposed,
and is meeting with the approval of
such prominent men as those whose
names are priuted below, and who
are subscribers :
J.S. Simmons. $1,500

A Timks reporter yesterday saw
President Trout and asked him what
he thought of the proposed plan for
raisiuu the amount. Mr. Trout did
not think, as an ollicer of the road,
that he ?houid give an opinion.
However, he is a subscriber to the
stock of the company to the extent of
$1,000 and that shows his opinion of
it clearly enough.

Written for the Times.
Pulaski is a beautiful town with
aspirations.
Among the enterprises may he men?
tioned the Bertha Zinc Work? and
one furnace, making al>out 120 tons
of iron per day. Pulaski is destinod
to become a place of considerable im?
portance, hence the Woman's Mis?
sionary Society, of Southwest Vir?
ginia Synod has displayed great wis?
dom in planting a church there so
early. The church is, in style,gothic,
finished inside in natural wood. The
main auditorium will seat about 41)0
people, and the Sunday school room
is so arranged that the two can,when
necessary, be thrown together, thus
giving a seating capacity of over ?00.
The church was built asu memorial
of the Woman's Missionary Societyo/
the Lutheran Church in Southwest
Virginia. Ami to further the noble
cause liberal contributions were
made by the St. Mark'? Society of
Hoauokc. Others in the synod came
up nobly to the caose. and contribu?
ted handsomely. Lincentiate .1. A.

in prayer. Rev. .1. ,1.Scherer, of Ma?

Dr. L. A. Fox, of Salem, preached
the sermon of the day. The doctor
gave a full exposition of Clod's or?
ganization of the church and told all
their duty toward the church which
they professed to love and cherish.
After the sermon l'astor Bushneil ad?
dressed the congregation upon the
needs of the church. The most im?
portant was to raise the balance still
due on the churchly edifice.
Aftpr laying the mother upon their
hearts,up he only can do, he called for
voluntary pledges. The necessary
amount was soon raised by the
energy of Pastor Bushnell. The con?
secration of the building to the ser?

done by Rev. W. E. Hubbert. A large
appreciative oongregatio.i was pres?

Pastor Bushnell, of St. Mark's, who
preached from John I,'3, He showed
the greatness of Cod's love, its free

from the founding of this church in

lie la Lovril by IIIn FricnilN, P<tIiii|>n,
lint ll<> u Alao Taxed.
Senator Morgan's picture of the
negro in his relation to the policy of
protection is a very striking one.
North ttml South he is excluded by
the white workmen from protected
industries. He gets no benefit from
the tariff in his capacity as a laborer.
He does hard work, or if begets easier
work it is in a menial capacity. In J
neither case are his wages even indi?
rectly affected bv the tariff. He is
not permitted, North or South, to
work side by side with the white man
in skilled occupations that command
wages supposed to be atTected by the
tariff. He cannot become a glass-!
blower, a carpet-weaver, a cotton
spinner or machinist. If he is em?
ployed about a protected industry at
all it is in some position not coveted
by the white hands. There is no
factory or other protected manufac?
turing establishment in the country
of which a negro is proprietor. Neither
as employer nor as employe, then, is
he in a position to be benefittcd by
the tariff. Yet he bears the burden
it imposes. His republican friends
show him no pitv iu this regard. He
votes their ticket, but they give him
taxes in return. The tariiT tax paid
by the negroes of Alabama Senator
Morgan estimates at $G.30 a year for
each man, woman and child.
The State gets little or no tax out
of the negro, because he has little or
no property, but the far off Washing?
ton government get some $!)0 a year
out of each negro family. This re?
sults from the fact that the negro is a
great consumer, and his protectionist
friends are careful to lay the heaviest
taxes upon just those classes of
articles that be most consumes. It
might be thought from their great
interest in him and his vote that they
would contrive to let what lie buys
be sold cheap and would put the tariff
rates high on the articles he produce.
But is not the case.
On rice, sugar, cottonseed oil and
tar?articles he produces?the bill
now before the Senate makes reduc?
tions, but it increases the selling prices
of buttons, seeds, axles, bacon, canned
meats, bagging, eotton-ties, iron,
school books, boots and shoes, gloves,
camphor, iron ware, china ware,
chains, cigars, clay pipes, cotton cloth,
woolen cloth, ready-made clothing,
common window-glass, socks, hand?
kerchiefs, cotton shirts.cottou thread,
woolen dress goods, flannels, hats,
pocket-knives, pens, tools, umbrellas
and blunkets.
On some of these articles the bill
double? the present tax,an others it in?
creases it by one-half or one-fourth.
The negro cannot escape paying it. He
must have clothes, housing and food,
together with most of the articles
here mentioned. Whenever he buys
anything he pays something extra,
by reason of the tariff, into the
pockets of his protectionist friends.
They are careful to put up the price
on him, as a rule, to the highest notch
the tariff rates allow. They love him
and tax him to his heart's content.?

A TEST OASE
TO BE MADE BY THE MIDWAY
IRON COMPANY.
STOCKHOLDERS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS
An Important Meeting Held at the
Y. .11. 4'. A. Hall l.aHt Sight.
The NtatiiM of Hie Midway lion
Company.
A number of stockholders in the
Midway Iron Company and about half
a hundred citizens met at the Young
Men's Christian Association hall lust
night for the purpose of discussing
means to make the delinquent stock?
holders who hud refused to pay their
[assessments came forward with the
cash.
On motion of Mr. J. Fleming Chris?
tian, .Mr. S. W. Jamison was made
[chairman. Mr. Christian then ex?
plained the object of the meeting,
lie said it was to devise means to
secure the $50.000stock that had been
subscribed' The assessment on about
$14,000 only of the stock had been
paid. The remainder of the stock?
holders had given various excuses,
the majority of them saying that the
plant had not been located within
the limits of the city, as had been
promised and not on the property of j
the Midway Land Company.
Mr. It. I?J. Scott a lawyer and also a
stockholder iu the company was
called upon for a legal opinion as to
whether or not the delinquent sub?
scribers could be made to pay tlieiri
assessments. He said that after a care-]
ful examination of the pros?
pectus he was of the opinion!
that they could be made
to pay these assessments, lie said
that of course he had been called
upon rather unexpectedly, and the
opinion was therefor*; rather hastily
formed, but he thought that the pro?
visions of the the prospectus!
had been filly carried out. In
clo?ing the speaker suggested that a
count be made for the purpose of]
seeing whether or not a majority of
the stock was represented at the I
meeting. It was found that it was|
not represented.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
Ludwig, Firey and Scott, was ap?
pointed on motion of Mr. H. II. Wood-I
rum to solicit subscribers to stock.
After a canvas of the audience live
additional shares were taken.
Mr. Christian suggested that Mr.
R. W. Daviesbe asked to state the
present status of the plant. Mr. Da
vies said that the plant was there for|
everyone to see who was inter?
ested. The machinery, with the ex?
ception of the engine and boiler, was |
in position and these were on the way
here now. The expenditure for labor I
up to the present time had been about
$1,000, but they could do nothing
more until the money was forth?
coming. "The plant is only a
baby now to what it will be one
Of these days, "said Mr. Davies
"and if it is not a paying institution
then the manufacture of iron in the
South is a failure. Rut it will be a
grand success. There is every reason
that it should, tor the situation in re?
gard to raw materials is all that cau|
be desired. If we have the money we
will be employing seventy-live men,
nearly all of them skilled laborers, by
the 15th of September."
Mr. R. II. Woodrum offered the fol?
lowing resolution as the sense of the
meeting: "That the board of directors I
should employ Mr. R. E. Scott
counsel to take action against tlit* j
delinquent stockholders." The
solution was passed.
Mr. Woodrum said that he de?
manded, as a stockholder, that tin
directors should take this action. A
test suit could be made before any
justice of the peace and if it were suc
cesful then the other backward stock?
holders would pay their assessments,
lie also ollered a resolution to the ef?
fect that the deed for the property in
the plant be made at once. This was
also carried and the meeting then ad?
journed. The board of directors will
probably meet today.

.Speaker Iteed and Mnjor McKinley
to Take I'art in the Campaign.
PlTTSBUIlG, Pa., July 29.?It has
been determined to formally open the
Republican campaign in Pennsylva?
nia on September 1.1. The State
central committee aided by Senator
Quay, expects to have a list of speak?
ers from other States.
Among those who have already
agreed to deliver addresses in behalf
of Senator Delamater for governor
are Speaker Reed aud Major McKin?
ley. Roth are nursing presidential
booms in the State. Two of Senator
Delamater's rivals for the guberna?
torial nomination, GeneralD. H.Has?
tings and Major E. A. Montooth, have
decided to take the stump for him:
but the latter will not go outside of
Alleghany county.
It is claimed that President Harri?
son is much interested in the success
of the Republicans in Pennsylvania;
that during his approaching sojourn
at Cresson Springs he expectB to per?
sonally confer -.with party leaders,
and give them every encouragement
of his high office. Senators Quay's
friend. Postmaster James S. McKean,
of Pittsburg, today wagered $5,000
that Delamater would be elected.
M?y Vote By Klectrlclly.
The House committee on rules I
rules, says the Baltimore Sun, yester?
day gave a hearing to John A. Enos,
an inventor, who seeks to have an
appropriation of $60,000 made to de-|
fray the cost of installing his patent j
electric voting machine in the House
of Representatives at Washington.
Mr. Knos explained the workings of I
his machine, and brought to the at?
tention of the committee some facts
to demonstrate its probable utility
and economy. He stated, for instance, J
that during this session there have |
been over 300 roll-calls, each consum?
ing thirty minutes' time, or an aggre?
gate of thirty working days; and he I
asserts^ by the use of his machine, |
twenty-five days could have been
saved. The committee took the
matter under advisement.
Church Dedication.
The new and handsome church at |
Christiansburg will be dedicated on
Sunday, August 10. The dedicatory
sermon will be preached at 11 o'clock

improvements at Norfolk.
Extcnalve Work ?r (lio ."Norfolk mid
WcNtnru Railroad There.
The Norfolk correspondent of tin
Richmond Dispatch says of the Nor?
folk and Western improvements at
Lambert's Point: Two hundred and
fifty or three hundred men are now
employed on the extensive improve?
ment of the Norfolk and Western at
Lauiherfs Point. < >ne of the new
piers for warehouses is completed and
the other nearly so. and work has
commenced activity on the big iron
pier for handling and shipping coal,
and when completed there will be
four large piers for the business of
the Point. A peculiarity in the work
is the operation of a steam dredge
which sucks the mud from the bot?
tom instead of digging it. This
dredge has already built thirty-eight
acres of solid ground on the wharf
front while excavating the ducks and
continues at work daily. The electric
plant to illuminate the docks and
warehouses will soon be in operation,
and in addition to the city water
supply an eight, inch artesian well is
i being "sunk. It is now difficult to
comprehend the immense business
that will be going on at this point
within the next twelve or eighteen
months, as it is stated that not half
the contemplated improvements are
now in sight. As a consequence land
all around Lambert's Point is held at
amazing figures.

paying $1.50 per week or $0 per
month until $150 is paid. Each mem?
ber will dra w for a lot at the regular
weekly drawing, and one lot will be
drawn every week until UK) lots are
drawn. The two members drawing
the last two lots will get two lots each
instead of one.
The one drawing a lot can at any
time pay up on his lot and get a deed
to it, as the company own their land
in fee simple; or he can pay one-third
cash, balance in one and two years,
ami the company will allow such pur?
chaser 10 per cent, discount given on
his purchase.
A purchaser building, within six
months, a house costing not less than
$500, on his lot, will have a reduction
of 25 per cent, on his purchase, mak?
ing bis lot cost $112.50.
Several clubs will be organized in
this city, so that a member can join
one or more clubs, and draw in each]
club weekly by the payment of one |
dollar and ($1.50) fifty cents in each
club. No interest is charged on these J
payments whatever.
The land has been surveyed, laid
out in streets and the lots numbered.
The laid lies partially in the rear of
the Roanoke College, and half a mile
from the center of the town. Water
mains run through the land, side?
walks are also contemplated, and
pleasant homes, close to business,
could be erected at small cost, either
as a home for the owner or to rent
out. as houses are in great, demand in
Salem.
As a safe investment this is beyond
precedent, and enables one of small
means to secure property constantly
on the increase in value.
Remember, one lot is drawn by
some one each week. Then you can
pay up on your lot after you have
drawn, by paying one-third cash,
balance in one and two years, or as a
whole, at any time you may elect
within IS months from the time you
joined the club, and secure the re?
ductions named above.
Every member must pay his weekly
dues before he will be allowed to par?
ticipate in any drawing. If absent,
some one will draw for him, provided
his dues are paid.
Do not be misled by any misrepre?
sentations made about this land, but
go to Salem and see it for yourself:
call on Mr. IL G. Brown, president of
the company, who will show you over
the property.
The size of these lots are mostly 50x
150. some few are 50xi:Jt). The iotsare
well situated, and our plan of dispos?
ing of them renders it easy for the
men of small means to secure a home,
or make a paying investment, by the
expenditure of $1.00per week. Salem
is a healthy, busy place, growing rap?
idly and presents more advantages for
investment than any new town in the
State.
Every working man, be his means
large or small, can go into this enter?
prise and secure a lot that will con?
tinue to increase in value.
All who wish to secure lots in the
Baltimore ic Ohio Land Company
should call on Messrs. Oscar D. Derr
& Co., the authorized agents for Roan
oke City, who will fully explain the
manner of conducting the sale, and
can be found at their office from 8 a.
m. to 10 p. m.
There is no investment on which
one can realize so handsomely and at
so small a cost as to become a mem?
ber of the Baltimore & Ohio Lot
Clubs, unless it is to be a stockholder
in the Baltimore & Ohio Land Com?
pany. We cheerfully recommend
these lots to the public.
