Two years ago Salem, whilo retaining

population increased from less than two

and the quiet town became busy,

has had Il more wonderful growth within

Salem, which has recently become so
prominent among the new cities of tho
South, is not new town. 1t was COM
menced in 1902, was made the county
scat Of the new county of Roanoke in
1888, and became the seat of Roanoke
College in 1910. 1t is located on the
lands granted by George III to General
Andrew LIE Wis, whose statue stands in
tho capital square in Richmond, in the
Same group with those of Jefferson,
Madison, Marshall and other eminent
men of that day. General Lewis was
admired by Washington, and was
ranked by those who know him among
the greatest of the SONS of Virginia.
In this valley he established his name
and gathered around him circle Of in
telligent and refined friends, who gave
tone to the society of the town and the
community around it. Salem was noted
from it's beginning for it's intelligence,
social refinement, and high moral char
acter. These features decided the
choice of the founders of tho college
which became factor in preserving
them and making them still more
marked. These characteristics have
become permanently stamped upon the
social life OF the town. They attract
the attention of all who are brought
within it's circuit, and give sure indica-
tion Of the future greatness of the city.
Salem has been noted during its en-
tire history for it's healthfulncss. 1t
has never been subject to a serious cpl
dcmic from local causes. Diphtheria,
the terrible scourgo OF children, never
originates here, and when brought does
not extend itself. Cases of malaria, if
ever occurring, are exceedingly rare.
Fevers are not frequent and usually are
of mild type. Tho atmosphere is pure,
s'clastic and invigoratinG." The town
is supplied with water from pure noun
tain springs and the supply can be
indefinitely increased from similar
sources. The Roanoke river runs
through it from west to east and num-
Der of rapidly flowing brooks and small
creeks run from north to south, afford
ing remarkably fine natural drainage.
A thorough system of sewerage is
being established as the growth of
the town requires. The peculiar for
nation of the valley brings down from
tho mountain tops a current Of fresh
air, which carries off whatever nox-
lous vapors may be generated, fur
nishes fresh oxygen and at the same
time, maintains 4 delightful tenn
perature. It is never very cold nor
very warm. The temperature in the
coldost winters rarely runs down to
zero, and in the hottest summers rarely
rises much above ninety. The average
in tho summer is scventv-six. and in
the winter forty one. Salem for these
reasons has been popular Tor a number
of years as health resort, and with
enlarged accommodations will draw TO
itself an increased number Of visitors

The Third National Party
CINCINNATI CONVENTION DOES THE
WORK. THE CAMPAIGN ON
FOR 1899.

The Peoples National Party was
born at Cincinnati, Wednesday after
noon, May goth, 1891, and Donnelly
the prophet ofthe convention predict
ed for it life existence of so years.
1t was rash in him to make such a
prediction at the moment Of accouch-
ment. With accouchers like Weaver
of Iowa, Featherston and Cunningham
of Arkansas, Tauoenaek of Illinois
and others of their like who haye tri-
ed all parties, it is difficult to foretell
the fate Of the offspring. Nothing
good has ever grown to full promise
under their fostering care and super
vision. What good works may here
after come from their hands will ap-
pear in the fulfillment of the time.
Had there been better men at the
head Of this move we would expect
better things.
In their platform We find following
planks We demand the abolition of
national banks as banks of issue, and
as substitute for national bank notes
we demand that legal tender notes be
issued in sufficient volume to transact
the business of the country on.a cash
basis.
We demand an uni United coinage
Of silver.
We demand the passage of a law
prohibiting alien ownership of land.
We demand that all revenues, ma
tional, state and county. be limited %
the necessary expenses Of the govern
ment.
We demand the election of presl-
dent, vice-president and United States
senators by direct vote of the people.
The national committee is to be
composed of three members from each
state, and a national convention is to
be called not later than June / 1892,
to nominate candidates for president
and vice-president.
