The former firm of Entsler Bishop, now Eutsler have Jnst completed the rebuilding of their carpenter shops at Mt. Meridian. They built near thesite of the old shop; which was destroyed by "fire in January last.

They built larger to enable them to meet the wants of their fast increasing trade. We have beenr told that they were cofnpelled to turn off a great deal of work this summer, owing to the fact that they were notsettled as to where they would build. And having no machinery could not promise the. work. But with a large shop filled with all kinds of machinery, from a buzz-saw to the finest wood works, they are ready to fill, all orders at short notice.

We are glad to report the thrift, the energy and enterprise of the men that compose our community. Large firms may fail and do fail. Men of gigantic minds manipulate their millions one day to find themselves the next day penniless. But the plain plodding people of our vicinity satisfied with small but sure profits, contiiuj the even tenor of their way onward and upward to fortune and fame. Ihe old Rockland mill is to be repaired and i nproved.

J. W. Cline proprietors, have closed a contract with a Northern firm to put in the roller process with a capacity of -forty barrels per day. We khow of no enterprise that will inure so much to the agricultural growth of our section than the step these gentlemen have taken. This enterprise carried through will furnish a home market for not only the grain of our vicinity, but of all East Rockingham.

We hope they may have the support and encouragement of alL 1 We have many things of which we may write. But at present I deenWt expedient to stop, but before stoppingjet me propound a question revolving in the minds of hundreds of faithful citizens. Seeing we are in a quandary, how should we act on the 5th of November next 1 Namkah. More of Them. The Norfolk Virginian of the 22d has the following: The Hampton Monitor of yesterday states that Capt, C.

E. Oroome, one of the Loading Republicans of Warwick who has been always consistent in bis support of his party and its nominees, has expressed his determination not to support Mahone. Hon, A. S. Se-gar, the Commonwealth's Attorney of Elizabeth City county, one of the ablest members of the Republican party of the Peninsula, has made" a like declaration and announces his purpose to -support Phil McKinney and D.

Wright, a prominent negro, and who is the present Commissioner of the Revenue for Warwick county, says that he will not vote for Mahone or give him support. It would seem that there is a general uprising against the little and his political ending is not far off. Tazewell Branch is a colored man. He was formerly State Senator, and is a citizen of Farmville. He is noted for his sound sense, his firmness of character, independence and honesfy.

The following reference to him is from a correspondence of the Dispatch In answer to my inquiry last night as to his opinion of the expediency of holding an anti-Mahoneite convention, Tal. Branch said i4I am just in receipt of a letter from my friend Syphax, who was in the Senate with me, asking my opinion as to the propriety of calling a meeting of anti-Mahoneites. I wrote him that I was heartily in favor of doing anything that would honorably defeat Mahone, and that I woulcf endeavor to defeat him to the extent of voting for McKinney, Tyler and Scott, and advise my friends to do likewise." I "Are you in favor; of placing another ticket before the people Y'r i "No. sir. I can't say that I am.

I believe the most certain death, politically, to tbe monster would be to vote the Democratic ticket, and so wrote Syphax." Branch, continuing, said "The more I think about Mahone the worse I hate him, and if voting against him would forever disfranchise me I would cheerfully surrender the right of suffrage at the polls in November. He will be overwhelm i 4-4 I. Ill "1 I AHfc tm I Examine the Goods and ot cneapness. is the true then compare our prices. test Iron Gate.

Pittsburgh American Manufacturer. The first sale of lot9 at Iron Gate, new town Just establishes on the James River division of the Chesapeake and Ohio road, two miles south of Clifton Forge, took place on Thursday the 5th Inst. Over $42,000 worth of lots were sotd, the premium on the lots above the prices fixed by the Iron Gate Land and Improvement Company being fully 33K per cent. Large con tracts have already been let for quite a number of houses, stores and other buildings, and the little town presents quite an animated appearance. Iron Gate is in what is to-day the most successful pig iron producing district of Virginia, and what promises in the near future to be the largest iron producing district in ihe South.

Within a radius of Ave miies of the new town there are five furnaces, viz the' two JLongdale, the two Lownioor and the Princess, with a combined capacity of nearly five hundred tons a daj Some 20 miles distant is the Victoria furnace, which has recently gone Into blast. The ores used in this furnace are the Oriskany, No. 7, which probably finds its largest development in the United States on the hills Iron Gate. The veins there average 18 to 20 feet tjiick. The outcrop on the hills, five to seven hundred feet above water level, are easily and cheaply mined, yielding in the furnace an average; of 43 per cent.

JJmestone is found in the greatest abundance, the ore being underlaid with the Lower Helderburg, which is used in all of the furnaces in this vicinity. The coke is brought from New River, some hundred miles distant, and with the opening up of some of the deposits that lie back from the New River, it can be furnished to the jrnaces at a price considerably less than is now possible. Labor is heap, abundant and efficient. The Iron Gate Iron and Steel Company have already in course of construction an iron rolling mill with a capacity of 8 to 10 thousand tons a year, and arrangements are now being made for the establishment of a steelworks which, when completed, will give employment to some 400 men. -Negotiations are in progress for the building of a blast furnace, machine shops and other industries.

A stovej and general foundry is now in course of construction. Two miles away, at Clifton Forge, the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad proposes erecting their new shops, making at this point all of their new works, using their other uhops for light, repairs. It is stated that some $500,000 will be put into the building of these works. The location is an exceedingly beautiful and healthful one. Just at the- upper limits of the town the James river breaks through the North mountain, leaving a gap not 400 feet wide at the base, showing in the mountains on Y-ery side one of the most perfect and grandest anticlinal arches to be found country, and, showing in addition the various deposits of litae and ore for which this region is so famous.

On the grounds of the company are large; lithia and chalybeate springs. The town will bp some 1,200 feet above tidewater. Malaria is uriknown, and the climate is salubrious, the surroundings beautiful and the location as healthy a one as is to be found In the Alleghanies.

This 1 regret, lor 1 feel that the Republicans of Alexandria are making a gallant nght for the right of honest representation, and deserve the aid and sympathy of all sincere Republicans. The party was organized as a protest against tyranny and oppression and has ever been the exponent of the will. of the people.

In the few instances when some ambitious boss has attempted to use the party machinery to subvert the will of the people and promote nis selfish ends, the rank and file have risen in their might and buried bosses and boss ism beyond resurrection, and the party coming back" to the principles upon which it was founded has been stronger with its friends and more formidable to its enemies. But it has been left to the Republicans of Virginia to see and feel the most shameless efforts to crush out all sense of manliness and fair play in the party, and place the will of one man above the will of the entire party. The real question at issue in this campaign is not who shall be Governor of Virginia, but whether the Republicans in the State are worthy and capable of self-government. A cabinet officer recently said to me "In my State we would not submit to such a plan of organization as you have for twenty-four hours, out he was not certain but what it was best for the party in i My first feeling was one of indignation, but reflection convinced me that we deserved it all. We have submitted to one encroachment after another until it is not surprising that our capacity to govern ourselves Is questioned.

I Candidates for the General have been required to sign pledges to support the measures of the boss before they could oe elected. Officers charged with the most important functions of government have been driven from their offices unless they permitted the boss to appoint their subordinates. Private ends have been promoted by legislative enactment in the interest of tliis same boss. Contracts have been violated, sacred obUgations ignored, and the taint of repudiation lastened upon our party. Republican candidates selected by the people have been antagonized and defeated at the instigation of this dictator.

Chairmen of committees chosen by the people and commanding their respect have been removed, and some obscure but willing tool appointed for the express purpose of sending delegates to conventions who in no sense represented the party. These tools have been rewarded with the honors and emoluments' of the party as the price of their treachery. Secret circulars have been used to stab the reputation of national statesmen opposed to such treacherous tyranny. Whenever individuals have publicly opposed this one man power their sincerity has been attacked and their personal characters assaulted. 1 To all of this we have patiently submitted.

We have voted for candidates thrust uion ns. We have worked for party success, but to see each victory used by this unscrupulous tyrant to punish those who made it possible, unless they kissed the rod that smote them. We have submitted until forbearance ceases to be a virtue. "Who would be free himself must first strike the blow." No is the time to strike. If we make the blow effectual we shall redeem the Republican party from the depths into which Mahoneism has sunk it.

We shall prove to our enemies that we are entitled to their respect. We shall show to our friends that we are worthy of self government, and that the party must be governed and treated hi Virginia as it is hi other republican States. Let us say to every candidate wlio asks our votes, "Are you for republicanism or Mahoneism If for the latter let us relegate him into 'innocuous Only one lesson is necessary, but let us make that an object lesson so orcible that it will not be forgotten. Let our watchword be "Republicanism to the front, Mahoneism to the rear." i Again regretting that I cannot he with you, I remain Yours truly, I O. E.

I Branch some years ago resigned the rather than office of revenue collector obey the mean behests of Mahone, and returned to his trade that of shoemak- ing at which he has ever since been engaged. For some time he ran a store of general merchandise besides. He is an honest and uncommonly intelligent man and can, when he chooses, wield a power Of influence amongst his race. This lie proposes doing in the pending contest.

A large meeting of colored Republican! voters was held at New Hope; election precinct near Petersburg on Friday las and adopted a resolution denouncing Mahone and his candidates, and pledging support to McKinney tor Governor The colored voters of Fredericksburg, were to have organized on Monday night last under the leadership of Joseph Russell, in an anti-Mahone club, and it is expected they will support the Democratic ticket." Many white Republicans in King George and Spottsylvania counties and Fredericksburg have followed the ''kickers" and will not support Mahone or Mr. Abraham Primmer, of Stafford, a Northern Republican who has resided in 'the State since 1853, and has voted uniformly voted the Republican ticket, will not support Mahone. It is estimated by an intelligent Northern Republican who livc-un Virginia, that there ara 15,000 North Republicans in the State, that not more than 500 of them will vote for; Mahone. At Roanoke, there are about 200, nearly "every one of whom, it has been stated to us, will refuse to support Mahone.

A few months ago the Manufacturer'' Mecin announced the Organization of a company to build a town at Iron Gate, Va. Up to last week, the work of laying out the town arid securing industries had made such progress that at a public sale, lasting three hours, 218 lots sold for without any wild speculation tovrun prices up.

The result of this sale is such asrto inspire confidence in the future of all the new Industrial towns that may be started in Virginia on the same broad basis as Iron Gate. One lot brought $770, and the purchaser refused $900 cash for It the same day. Among the buyers were a number of men of note, such as Mr. Jos. E.

Tropp, owner of the Everltt furnace, of Pennsylvania; A. Rj Courtney, pf Richmond; E. C. Best, superintendent St. Cawrence Boom Manufacturing a concern whih handles ten to thirty mUliong feet of lumber Mr.

B. L. Parrish, the general counsel for the Chesapeake Ohio Railroad, who Is also a large Stockholder in the company, and others. Iron Gate is fortunately located as regards furnaces. The Longdate, the Lownioor and the Glen Wilton furnaces, which produce largely over 100,000 tons of iron a year, are, within a radius of 5 miles, while the Callie furnace, now out of blast, is within the same and arrangements will probably be made for starting up again or moving to Iron Gate.

Victoria furnace is but 20 miles distant, and Roaring Run, 10 miles, within 10 or 12 miles flown the river the Craig's Creek Railroad, now under construction, strikes the James River Division of She Chesa-peake Ohio Railroad, bringing a fine iron, district hitherto undeveloped within easy reach of Iron Gate, The grade from Iron Gate to tidewater is down-hill all the way, and engines are able to haul 45 loaded cars. Added to these advantages were a jrood site and good' transportation facilities. Moreover, Mr. Jacob Yost, the. general manager, wisely sought first to secure the location of.

industries before selling lots. There are 80 car-loads of machinery now on the ground forf the rolling mill, which wU have a capacity of between 75 and 100 tons a day. The Hanging Rock Stove of Ironton, Ohio, have closed a contract for moving their entire plant to Iron Gate. A company is in course of organization for- building a basic steel plant, and $50,000 of the stock of the company has been taken by the 0. R.

R. while Mr. IngaUs, the president Qf the C. O. individually subscribed for a considerable ampvnt, A fine hotel is now under construction.

Some time ago the Manufacturer Record commended Senator Daniel ibid Governor Lee for wisely turning their attention for the future to the industrial Interests of their State rather than to politics, and In Mr. Yost we have another illustration of bow rapidly this change of sentiment is going, on. Although a very young man, he has represented; his district in Congress, but now has turned hij talents to the development of he njantifacturtng interests of his Under-hig management Iron Gate doubtless has a future before it. The Opening of Roanoke pollege. The friends of Roanoke College will be glad to learn that the.thlrty-seventh gessciQ opened on Wednesday, the jstlr instant, with ja large at-tendaneeof students fronxmany States.

Among the students enrolled are seven from the Choctaw Nation in the Indian Territory, two Japanese, and one Mexican. The boys from Japan Hidei Fukuoka and Toyojiro Terashima sons of distinguished officers of the Japanese Empire, were at Roanoke last session, and. were a.q well pleased that Mey have returned. We learn that the Faculty are very favorably impressed by the -new students and that many of these are --entering the regular courses for graduation. The present Senior class is one of the; largest and best the College has had for many years.

The students are ail much pleased with the extensive improvements made on interior of the Main Building; and everything about the College wears a neat and business-like appearance. The classes were organized promptly and the students are already at regular work' It is gratifying to have our town enlivened- by the presence of so many aspiring young men, and in the name of our people bid them-a very cordial welcome to Salem, Itmeg-Reffbtterx iSalem, Va.y, SepUmtter 20t. 1889, I i Prom 3mythe.
