THE NEW CITY HOPEWELL,

Assistant Cashier ln Bank in New Clty,
Mon
A new city has been born to Virgino-
ip. Its birthplace is about eight miles
northeast of Petersburg and twenly-
five miles southeast of Richmond. It
is near City Point where the Appoma-
tox river joins the James river. On
the first of March, 1915, not more than
one hundred persons lived where this
pew city is now struggling into a
regulated and properly controlled
community of at least 26,000 people,
ninety per cent. of whom are men,
The city is not incorporated ; they
have no mayor but they have a police
force and there was no disturbance
anywhere. I walked all over the city
and everywhere the men were too
busy working to make any disorder.
No drunkenness whatever,
The real estate men are doing a big
business here, A pumber are from
Pennsylvania, One froma Mifflin was
kind enough to take me in his auto to
City Point and show me where Gen.
Grant bad his headquarters and where
President Lincoln visited army.
There are many breastworks and em-
bankments to be seen that are silent
reminders of the Civil War. A
ing sight to me is the displaying
the American Flag. You see
“Old Glory” waving from many a
house and flag pole,
The Du Ponts have erected large
buildings for making guncotton,
I'hey have also erected in one part of
the city two thousand, five hundred
houses for their workmen. Men
now engsged in cutting streels thru
the forest. ‘lhe fallen trees are sawed
into fire wood or lumber by gasoline

at 6 9, wo, we started to go to Hope
well by train, Four sections each con-
sisting of 15 Iarge passenger coaches
were used. These were all crowded
by work men and business men,
What a ro:h what a crowd! The
train was filled before it stopped. 1
too followed the custom, being fearful
that I would be left. In fact I do not
remember that our section stopped at
all, it was fully loaded while moving
slowly past the station. The only in-
dustry, besides building the new city,
is making gun cotton, an explosive
used in discharging the large guns of
the Allies, For this purpose the Du
Ponts pay bigh wages to more than
18000 men working inside their plant,
I was told they use up eighteen ear-
loads of cotton each day. The cotton
is put thru twelve processes, being
completely nitrofied in this plant. It
is treated with a mixture of nitric and
sulphuric acide, It leaves here in the
wet state in large copper holders and
is taken to Wilmington where it is
stherized and dried, and made ready
for use. I waa told that they pay 10
cents a pound for the cotton and gel
$1.10 for the finished product,
Ho many autos run between Peters
burg and Hopewell that the road is
very rough, The Du Ponts have of
fered to pay $26,000 toward making »
good road between the two cities,
which will cost about $90,000 to com-
plete. A street oar line is also being
constructed between these two places,
