RoANoKE,s NEW OUTLET.

What tho Manufacturers Record Says
About Through Trains to Charleston.
From tho Manufacturers Record.
Assuming this completion as accom-
plished and that all parties will unite
in an equitable traffic arrangement,
then this line, 42s miles long, will con-
meet Charleston with Roanoke, Va, and
with the far-reaching system of the
Norfolk and Western railroad. What
that must mean to Charleston and to
the interior business men everywhere
will understand. Large areas of the
mountain region on either side of the
dividing line between Virginia and
North Carolina will be opened to settle
mont and development, and the mineral
treasures and forest products of still
broader section will be supplied with
transportation facilities.
Charleston will have direct connection
with the Pocahontas coal mines and be
made another coaling seaport of the
South Atlantic States. Roanoke will be
$50 miles nearer to Charleston than in
the past, and consequently will be able
to enlarge her trade and become center
of distribution for large area, while
the products of her factories will find
new markets in the Southern cities, with
which this new line will give them
direct connections, and Winston will
secure direct thro Ugh connections to the
North and to tho South. But what
Charleston merchants will most appre-
ciate will be the fact that they can
establish an exchange trade with the
populous cities of tho Ohio valley by
means of the Norfolk and Western
trunk line extending to Columbus,
Ohio.
The Unreasonable benefits to accrue
from this it is impossible to enumerate.
They will effect every community
tributary to the long line, as we'll as
the large terminal and intermediate
cities. BY the completion of this sys-
tenn the brightest hopes and most san
guine expectations of half q century
will be more than realized, and an
impetus will be given to interstate
trade and to Southern development that
will tell upon the whole country.
The prospect is brilliant. The &C
complishment seems to be assured.
Hearty congratulations to Charleston,
to Winston and to Roanoke, three
places to which this line means so
much.

FOOTBALL TO-DAY.

The RoanoEes in Good Condition to Meet
Bluefield on Thanksgiving Day.
Last Saturday game of football was
played on the old baseball grounds, and
it was very evident that Roanoke could
present fine array of able-bodied men
in the held, with full knowledge of the
game.
A club was formed, balls purchased
and grounds laid out with little expense.
a weeks practice has made the rushers
formidable in the rush and tackle,
quick and agile quarter back, two half
backs who can run and dodge, and with
full-back as sure kick the eleven is
about complete, and have nerve enough
to play Yale rather than Bluefield on
Thanksgiving Day.
1t is the intention to play game this
afternoon at o'clock sharp and make
improvements in the team if necessary.
If the public wish to see some rich and
rare fun and enjoy good and hearty
laugh they ought to come.
The following will compose the two
elevens in positions named:

The PROPOSED Pension For Mrs. Davis.

1he FropOsed Pehsion For Mrs. Davis.
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 2O.-The sug-
gestion for pension fund for Mrs. JEFF
ferson Davis was made during the
lady's stay here several days ago. 1t,
was, however, unknown to Mrs. Davis.
The idea is for the Virginia Legislature
to make the initial move, which, it is
believed, will be followed by the States
which composed the Southern Con;ed-
eracy. 1t is hardly probable that the
annual appropriation contemplated in
this project would be called q pension
fund. There may be legal barrier
precluding this. This project will be
discussed as soon as the Virginia legis-
lature meets, next month Mrs Davis
annual income is now said to be. $4,000,
derived chiefly from her Mississippi
property.

Living Ia HOPES.

Fred James was arrested yesterday
evening by Policeman SchancIs for
being drunk and diso.derly on Railroad
avenue. Fred is a frequent visitor to
Roanoke and generally spends week
or moro on the chain gang. He was
one OF the young men who was released
from the chain gang several months
ago by party of magnanimous gentle
men. Fred hopes that his old friends
will call around and SEQ him again.

A SETTLEMENT.

The authoritative figures of the agree
ment on the State debt are given out
from Richmond. The basis is 9,0OO,-
900 of 1oo-year bonds, bearing per
cent. interest for ten years and per
cent. for the remaining ninety.
This basis is so extremely, even I'M
expectedly, liberal that the legislature
ought to ratify it unanimously immed
iatelv after organizing Virginians may
we'll feel satisfied at the outcome of the
conference.
Having settled the debt question
satisfactorily, the legislature may pro-
coed to make business record that
will stamp it as the most progressive
body since tho war.
THE TINES predicts that within three
years the investors of the world will
have forced Virginia's per cent bonds
to premium. Why? Because those
seeking permanent investments will
say one and all: "These bonds will re-
turn an income to me, my children,
grandchildren and great-grandchil-
dren through four generations, without
single change of Investment"
A State whose per cent. bonds COM
mand premium, by proper encourage
ment can attract within its borders
every dollar of capital needed to de-
velop its resources to their utmost.
The unparalleled progress of Southwest
Virginia will be continued and repeated
through thesState at large.

An Advertising scheme.

It's mighty hard work getting any
free advertising out of you newspaper
people nowadays, sighed the advance
passed stack of coin over the business
office counter the other morning.
"Space is space, replied the affable
cashier, as he made out receipt.
Il don't know why it is, +" continued
the A. A. retrospectively, "but somehow
editors don't seem to bite as they used to.
Same on the Eastern coast, too. I
noticed it particularly ON a little snap 7
worked, way down at Galveston last
fall"
"How was that7"
well, you see, was on my way to
that city by steamer {. week in advance
of our show, wheu I struck a great
scheme. bought two dozen empty pop
bottles and as many steaks from the
steward. Then l got lot of arsenic
from the medical stores and rubbed it
into the steaks. put some of our bills
IN the bottles, tied a steak round each,
and dropped 'em overheard as we en-
tered the harbor. My calculation was
that the sharks would swallow the meat,
be poisoned, float ashore, would be cut
open, the bills found, and the whole
thing be written up by the reporters in
great shape.
How did it work?"
Like charm-my part of it, mean.
Nine sharks altogether stood in with the
show, but every time one came ashore I
orOt -
proposing to write the thing up, with a
snap camera cut of the shark, at the reg
ular rates.
Pretty mean, that.
Mean! Those fellows could give Shy
lock cards and spades. The only paper
that referred to it at all was one we gave
"a free passes to. The day we left town
it remarked that our show was enough to
kill blind niggeI let alone sharks. -

LIVE RIGHTLY.

L.
One whom loved went home long years ago.
and I, who thought Try life scarce worth Ire
Was chided by the words no dropped, uncon-
scously,
Not thinking he was giving
The key unto me for the years to come
The minor key since he went home.
"They tell me tits solemn thing to 6ien
Surely, thought l. surely they tell hirn
rightly,
ut is solemn thing to live, instead,
And living well there is 10 death, he said:
I'VE shall not need to fear when life is ending
The other life will dawn so brightly"
III.
Hearing pondered on his helpful words,
All! touched by angel fingers, low sweet
chords
OF faith arose and kept the strings vibrating;
Harp p-strings that have been hushed and muto
so long
Can not at once respond with perfect song
That falters not nor ever knows abating.
".
Trusting, / knew not that the hours were long
Or joy-bells ceased their ringing.
Tor in the dark | sang a thankful song
Nor ceased my singing,
Blessing His love for every day to come,
Trying to be more fit for that dear home.
".
And every day try to tune my life
Unto the key he gave me;
know that work of mine availeth not,
No deeds can save me;
Sometimes the skies are threatening dark as
night,
Sometimes the azure skies are heavenly
bright,
But all the same, I'm trusting in His name;
Morning may come or night,
tknow "at evening time it shall be light y
