CRISP-MILLS.

The correspondence between Speaker
Crisp and Mr.. Mills over the latter's
prospective appointment on the ways
and means committee is little to the
credit of the Texan. Mr.. Mills went
into the speakership contest with parti-
san purpose. His methods wore ex-
treme; his partisans went to the limit in
their fight against the other candidates.
Their favorite was defeated, largely
through their own bad management.
If Mr.. Mills had been elected it Is CON
coded that the Craftsmanship of the
ways and means committee would not
have gone to Mr.. Crisp.
Mr.. Crisp is q free agent. and his
tender of second place on the ways and
means committee to Mr.. Mills has
merely given the member from Texas
an opportunity to show that personal
considerations weigh more heavily with
him than the principles of FREQ trade,
of which he is so petulant an advocate.
Mr.. Mills has poor political judg-
mont, a bad temper and not very good
manners.

TIE LAST SPIKE.

The last spike is driven on the Roa-
noke and Southern. Within a month
ats train schedule will be in effective
operation and it's permanent influence
on the trade, industries and develop
ment of Roanoke will have set in. That
influence will in time add several thou
sand to the population of Roanoke and
as many millions to its wealth.
One year ago in August ESQ rapid is
the movement OF modern progress) the
construction of the road to Roanoke was
In doubt. Many will remember tho
hard struggle to raise funds for the
guarantee company which was to secure
the right of way into the city. Who
remembers the thrill of joy which was
felt when DR.. E. A. Parsons closed the
gap with $4,000 subscription and
saved the day? May that act never be
forgotten!
The building of the Roanoke and
Southern has been marvel of celebrity,
low cost and good work. It's finances
have been handled with shrewdness and
sound judgment. Its future manage
ment gives promise that it will be char
acterized by the same broad-gauge spirit
of progress and development that has
given the Norfolk and Western the
proud and honorable name OF the Town
Builder.

Roderick Atwood, Harley Warner and
wife Lucy were arrested charged with
manslaughter, resulting from criminal

charge and the more painful because the
result was not caused by criminal inten-

the occurrence for the fair name of the
town, for the loss of life untimely, for
the painful circumstances in which the
accused are placed and for the natural
grief of their families and friends, and
will gladly hope that some proper and
legal way may be found for deliverance
out of all the sad surroundings. The ac-
