BUILDING BUIhDINGs.

Whoever improves Railroad avenue
does a good thing for the city's good
name. There are some fine and bust
ness-like buildings, but there ought to
be many more. Every traveller who
passes through Roanoke forms good I'M
presslons by the sight of furnaces, roll
ing-mills, car-shops, the beautiful and
artistic Hotel Roanoke with its green
lawns, the Norfolk and Western of
fees. and other fine buildings but
his favorable impressions are apt to
be sadly amended at the sight of the
obhoxious shanties which line one side
,of Railroad avenue Mt intervals.
1t will be pleasure and relief to the
citizens of Roanoke to know that they
arc going TO rapidly disappear in the
near future. A number Of vacant lots
on the same street are likewise being
covered with warehouses which will be
q credit to The city. In the present
crowded condition OF Roanoke, with its
lack of business buildings and resi-
dences. ne who builds a building does
more for the city than he who owns a
ten-acre lot.

THE spIR,r OF THEIR CONTRACT

Il
The Salem-Times Register is buoy
ing up the minds Of Salem people with
futile hope if it tries to make them
thins> that the Roanoke aud Southern
will attempt any evasion of its contract
with Roanoke city, The contract is
plain and specific. It's car-shops are to
be here, and not elsewhere, and it's not
right to argue that a ',simple repair
shop would fill the bill as easily aud as
fully as would extensive locomotive
works. The Roanoke aud Southern
people will live up to the spirit AID
letter OF Their contract.
No one need deny that a branch line
NAV be built from Salem to Roanoke;
but Roanoke will be the permaDentand
abiding Northern terminus Of the Roa-
noke and Southern. Col. Fries letter
should not be strained. Salem oughtto
have the branch. 1t will be good
thing for Salem.
In connection with this, we, too, will
make brief prediction, which the
Times-Register may place in its scrap
book for future use: The Baltimore and
Ohio will come TO Roanoke.

The County Roads.

From the Salem Times Register.
Our contemporary, the EaANoKE
TINES, while agreeing with Us as to
the necessity for improved county
roads, objects to the imposition of
any tolls and says that tolls and toll
roads are Disappearing In this we
think he is mistaken, albeit his views
are in accordance with our own as to
the values that should be taxed for
the building and maintenance of
county roads, save that we would
have the counties and not the towns
taxed for the purpose indicated, as
they are more directly for the benefit
of the farmer. by increasing and
cheapening their facility for reaching
q market. 1t seems a matter of utter
impossibility, however, to move
either supervisors or county authori-
ties in the premises, Notwithstanding
the execrable condition of all of our
roads, and rather than submit longer
to the present condition of affairs, we
do not believe the people would OBJ
ject to light tolls in the interest of the
safety of their limbs as well as of
their vehicles. We do not desire to
be understood as favoring toll over
free county roads, but desperate cases
require strong medicine, and if the
county authorities cannot be prevail
ed on to do their duty, let the next
best thing be adopted.

We reproduce in another column
part of strong editorial from the sa-
lem Times-Register favoring light
tolls in support of improved county
roads. fit is true that tie supervi-
eors and county authorities will not

of the Times-Resister, we lad better

favor o the reform, which Will make
the-sspervisors see matters in 9 differ
ent light. ~
Show the farmers, who are the prin-
cipal users of the roads, that if toll
tax is exacsed they viii have to pay
four-ffths of The tax. while if it is
made part of the general levy, all
property benefited will have to con-
tribute to the maintenance Of highways.
Until the matter is thoroughly agi-
tated and all the arguments put before
the public, no other method than that
of general taxation should be resorted
to.
See what is being done is other
States in the same matter. Present
the deliberations Of the Tennessee road

nothing short OF what is the best pol

0cCrpN TIE FIELD.

The interview printed in another
column with Mir. j. a. Jamison con-
corning Roanoke's possibilities as
commercial center is timely. The field
belonging to this city should be occu-
pied as rapidly as opened and as fully
as the field demands.
Trade follows the flag the late
John Roach used 10 say. 1t does. 1t
viii do the sane for Roanoke. Let
every business man who saysa word
for Roanoke speak up for her CONNER
cial possibilities. When Chicago was
working for the Worlds Fair, the bust
ness men of Chicago and her manufac-
turers used envelopes impressed with
legends of Chicago's commercial great
ness. Her travelling men went armed
with rubber stamps and stamped tie
country from the Alleghauies to the
Rockies and from the lakes to the gulf
with "World's Fair, Chicago, 1892.
Roanoke ought to have just the same
spirit. The envelopes used by her bust
ness men should have printed on face
and back figures of the city's growth,
industries and commercial Importance.
Thousands OF leaflets containing con-
densed information and answers TO
questions likely to be asked should be
printed and one thrust into every let
Ter written. We understand the Com
mercial Club is taking up this line of
work. 1t is a good one. Business men
of Roanoke, get together and pull to-
gether.

The very best player we have IS little

chance with some Of the herculeGn six
fOoters one would be likely TO meet here
in playing under American rules. The
average weight of our international team
will he from l60 to 10 pounds. a few pos
sibly running up to 200 pounds; and the
average hight about 5 feet 81 inches. One
of the finest players in Britain is William

to much at football. II is a game of skill

calls for skill aud endurance moro than any
thing else.
Among the finest players in the clubs
from which the team will be chosen are
Walter Arnott Of Glasgow, a member OF
the Queens Park club. and famous full
back; William Berry, also of the Queens
park, one of the finest forwarders III the
country, and little man, by the way {;
James Robertson of the Cowlair's club,

who was the finest ever known in Scotland ,
aud who saved his team from defeat when
they played against the English team at
Blackburn four years ago; John Forbes of
the Vale of Leven Club, who is regarded as
Que of the most reliable players in the
United Kingdom. These are few of the
men who will come over during the third
week of August to try conclusions with the
leading teams in this country. Their first
play will in all probability be with
the Olympics. the present American
champions, and they will invite the
Yale. Harvard, Princeton and Columbia
teams to witness the game, 50 that they
may be able to form fair opinion of the
British style of playing. We propose to
play the best me- that can be brought to-
gether in New York-a picked team. Then
We will go to other cities, probably first to
New England, and then to start on a gen
eral tour which will include Canada. The
