VIRGINIA NOTES.

The duke and duchess of Marlborough
have paid the Rockbridge company fer
the lots purchased in Glasgow. They
will erect S1,5OO worth of improvements
on the property.
A deed was made last week convey
ing the only piece of land that can be
bought between Graham and Bluefelds.
One other tract remains, which is the
property of the Hale infant heirs.
Mr.. G. A. Shirley, shipping agent of
the Pocahontas Coal Company, reports
January last as the biggest month this
company has ever had. Shipments of
coal alone aggregated 10000 tons. The
shipment of coke was not more than an
average. In February 169, 600 tons were
shipped.
The engineers of the Rockbridge
Company have been ordered to locate
the railroad to be built up Arnold's
Valley, and the work of building will
commence at once. 1t is proposed to
run the road up the valley, connect the
Shenandoah Valley road, and make use
OF its bridge across the river until the
Rockbridge Company can have its own
bridge constructed.
Iron ore has been discovered in large
quantities in the Middle Mountains,
Hardy and Grant counties, w. Va, and
experts pronounce it of the very richest
kind. The Bayard, Petersburg and
Moorefiold Company own large tracts of
land in these counties and will i'm
mediately commence developing it.
AT meeting of the board of directors
of the Commercial Bank of Lynchburg,
Wednesday afternoon, the resignation
of Mr.. Thomas f. Stearnes. the popular
and efficient first book-keeper of that
institution, was rendered and accepted.
A charter has been granted the Pitts
burg Southern Railroad Company to
build broad gauge road into the in
terror of West Virginia, via Manning
ton, making Clarkshurg the terminus
for the present, and connecting with
the Waynesboro and Washington Rail
road in Pennsylvania.
General Lee left on Monday for New
York to consult with gentlemen inter
ested in the building of tho Virginia
and Pittsburg railroad. The general
will also make arrangements with the
managers of the Norfolk and Western
road for the use of their bridge across
the James river temporarily in connec-
ton with the road to be built in Arnold's
Valley.
The Virginia Coal and Iron Company
very unexpectedly made u temporary
suspension OF their operations in the
coal regions yesterday on account of the
bad weather and having no railroad to
their mines. A branch road to their
mining property had been let to con-
tract by the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad Company, which will be built
as early as possible. About 100 men
are thrown out of employment, but
when they resume, which will not be
long, the force will doubtless be in
creased to 1000 men.

A Crippled Beggar.

A young man about 90 years of age,
who claims to be from Washington, has
been in the city about three or four
days soliciting aims ON the street. IIo
is cripple and walks on crutchcs, and
is totally unable to do manual labor.
He says he was injured in a rail Dad
accident about five years ago, ard since
that time has subsisted chiefly by beg
ging from city to city. Sometimes he
sleeps out and is nearly frozen when he
awakes. The first evening he arrived
in Roanoke he crawled into an alley
near Railroad avenue, where he slept
till morning. If the young II ans story
is true, he is an object for charity, but
when questioned closely he refused to
talk

"a Pair of Kids"

The Opera House was packed last
night to see Ezra Kendall in "a Pair of
Kids" and tho house was kept in con-
slant roar OF laughter from tho first
scene till the curtain fell on the last
act. 1t is hard to pack moro solid fun
in three hours time than there is in
"a Pair of Kids" with Kendall in the
role of Giles Fulton, the hayseed father
of the kids. Kendall can get as much
out of the hayseed character as any man
in the profession and his support is very
good. There are no flies on Kendall, If
he does occasionally light on the fly
paper. On account of the favorable i'm
preston madc last night, Manager
Beckner has made arrangements for the
Roanoke theatre-going public to have
another opportunity to see "a Pair of
Kids AMI the performance will be re-
peatcd tonight.

The Ronrd Did It.

Charles Davis desires to say through
TIE TIMES that he never has believed
that Ira Stoufel took any money from
him, or even hal the purse containing it.
He says he was duped by some kind {
other people, who claimed for it some
thing OF spiritualistic nature.
Directed by this medium, he got out a
W lrrant to search Stoufel, but never be-
ieved at any time he had the money
which has been stolen from him.

A Counterfeit,

English plum pudding.
Wicks-I have tried it, and all I've
got to say is it's n COMPOUNDED humbug;
not the real thing at all. Why, ate
two platefuls of it t'other evening and
then went home and slept like n baby.
No indigestion, no bad dreams and no
heavy weight in my stomach in the
morning. It's COMPOUNDED humbug, I
tell you.-Boston Transcript

From the Salem Timcs-Registcr.
If the people Of this section read no
paper except THE ROANOKE TINES they
would como to the conclusion that tho
Methodist Conference, just closed in the
Magic City, had failed to send preacher
to Salem, and that our esteemed friend,
Rev.J. S. Hutchinson, failed to get an ap-
pointment, as Salem and her Methodist
pastor are omitted altogether from The
TINES list of appointments; and not
satisfied with this serious omission, that
paper even locates the presiding elder
at Roanoke, when everybody who knows
anything about it at all, knows that the
district parsonage and the presiding
elder are located at Salem. And as this
is known to everybody in the district
except THE TIMES, it's errors of omission
and commission ara not hurtful at all
1t is very strange, though, that all its
mistakes should concern Salem alone.

The majority of well-read phys
icians now believe that Consump-
ton is a germ disease. In other
words, instead of being in the con-
stitution itself it is caused by limit
merable small creatures living in the
lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do
the leaves of trees
A Germ The phlegm that is
coughed up is those
Disease. parts of the lungs
whi h have been
gnawed off and destroyed. These
little bacilli, as the germs are called,
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive just the same, and enter the
body in our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores of
the skin. Thence they get into the
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and increase with
frightful rapidity. Then German
Syrup comes in, loosens them, kills
them, expells them, heals the places

tives become germ-proof and well. Q

Grand ARMY Bows,

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. THE silver
anniversary of the Grand Army is a thing
of the past and the tens OF thousands of
visitors are preparing to turn there faces
homewards as rapid as the railroads can
take them away. The entire program
of the week was carried through much more
smoothly than is usual with events of this
magnitude, and the veterans are returning
with the consciousness that the people OF
Detroit could not have done more in the
direction of comfort, convenience and
hospitality. At yesturday's session there
we're four candidates for the elRce OF
commander-in- chief John Palmer, of Al
bany, N. Y, A. G. Weissart of Mil
waukee, Wis, W. II. Smedbury of Cali.

bury.
The latters nomination was seconded
by Nebraska, Kansas, Oregon, Wash
ington, Alaska, New Mexico and Idaho
The election was by secret balot-a
very slow and tedious ballot. The an
nouncement OF the first ballot with Palmer
so far in the lead indicated the certainty
of his ultimate election. Great enthu.
siasm WAS manifested by the New York
delegates during the second ballot when
Palmer led from the start. Each gain
was greeted with applause. At the CON
clusion, when the result was still some
what in doubt, the Californians changed
their entire vote to Palmer. Prolonged
cheers greeted this announcement, which
meant Medbury's withdrawal and Pal
mer's election.
An enthusiastic delegate at this juncture
moved that Palmer's election be de-
clared unanimous, and it prevailed amidst
the widest enthusiasm. Washington
City was chosen as the place for holding
the next encampment.
Captain John Palmer, the new COM
mander-in-chief, was born on Staten
Island, March %, 1912, and has SPLENDID
war record.
