KEEP TO THE RIGMT.

Why is it that peopls won't keep to
the right? VIII they never appreciate
the fact that Roanoke is no longer the
village Of Big Lick, and that they have
not the entire street to themselves.
Other people have rights that should
be respected. We have blossohed
ont into full grown city, and We mnat
take on city ways. Tho streets are
crowded with people, people in hurry,
with minds intent on business, and they
have no Tins tossbend all their ener-
g;ss towards keeping out of the way.
There are hundreds Of collisions every
day on our business streets, pet
corns arc trod on, heads are bumped
and hats are Knocked of in the mud
not to mention the violence 6oDo to
ones nervous systsm. All this could
be avoided by simply keeping to the
right. Now, let's try and see what
we can DO to remedy the evil.

The time is not long now when VS.

lean Congress and the New England

.cms arrangements should be made for
their reception and entertainment.
The people of Rosnoke should do ali in
their poTer to make the visits Of their
distinguished guests something to be
remembered by them in after years and
the TINES is sure that it echoes the
sentiment Of the people, when it sivss

should not tske it out IL good iutsn-
tions, it needs practical work and il
will have 10 be attended to.
Richmond and Norfolk have already
appointed their committees OF invita-
ton and reception and Roanoke should
immediately DO the same. The time
draws nser end there is not day to
lose. The cities Of the South will vie
with each other in friendly competition
and Roanoke shouldbs at the very head
of the list. Let US give our guests O
reception so unique, so original aud so
cordial that they will have something
10 think about long after they return to

a pleasant taste in their mouths. cit

rtJr sr0xY OF TEN YEARS.

.Since 1880 the value OF Southern
property has increased from s2,elS.-
4S6,O95 to 4.22O, 166, AGO. The rail-
road mileage has bssn doubled, the cot
ton crop increased BIZ million and a
half bales, cotton mills have doubled in
number, and that section produces five
times SIS much pig iron as 1t did ten
yesr, ago. Ali OF this is gratifying TO
the North, as it shows that in few
years more the South will be ccmpactly
built, and the hum Of manufacture will
forever sound the .knell Of q past age
when cotton was the only product and
mills were considered as dangerous 10

Chicago Intsp Ocean.
The TINES likes to see paragraph
of this kind in bloody-shirt-wavins
contemporary occasionally, for nothing
more completely gives the lie to their
oft-rs aeated stories about Southern out
RACES than DO their own words. During
The past ten years tho people OF The
South have had control OF their state
governments, for years before that
time they were, many CT them, under
The cloud OF reconstruction. As soon
SIS the cloud Mss waited away by the
bright sunshine Of self-goyernment the
paoplo were on their feet again, With
the results with which VIC are all famil-
lar. How different have been these
past ten years f-on, the fifteen yearsthat
preceded :hcn, when the country was
suffering from miegovernment and its
consequent stsguation. The contrast
tells it's own story snd the ultra-repub-
lican press now and again forget them
selves, as has the InterO Ocean, and tell
the truth.
