A new process for manufacturing blot
ting paper consists in taking unsized paper
as II comes from the paper machine, and ex
posing one or both of the sides TO the dis
turlHng action of mechanical means for
opening mp its surface. for instance, 90 the
grinding or abrasive action OF sand paper,
emery wheels, wire brushes, OF TO the action
Of cards or scraDurs. such action separates
and lifts the surface G1.r- This process,
says Paper Making produces highly alb
sorbent or Dibulou- paper, especial adapt
ed for use as commercial blOtting paper
aud for other purposes where an absorbent
paper is required, and having jts fibers sep
arated and raised, and presenting vel
yety surface Gs distinguished from ordinary
blotting paper By this process blotting
can be manufactured from any kind Of
paper, regardless Of the stock or material
from which 10 is made

THE CITY SCHOOLS.

The city schools will open tomorrow
with marked Improvements over tho
advantages with which they opened q
year ago.
There were two schools for white
children with eleven teachers, and one
for colored children with four teachers.
Before the end of the week there will
be open in Roanoke four schools for
white children with twenty-one teach
ers, including school Of high grade.
The establishment of schools in the
northwest and southeast sections, and
high school at the First Ward building,
with the general improvements in the
schools, make quite a long step forward.
The high school will be tried as an
experiment, but TIE TINES feels sure
if properly conducted, it will not only
prove satisfactory but necessity to the
school system OF the city.

1T MIST PAY.


Thousands Of dollars are spent yearly
in advertising, and whom iudiciously
placed it always pays. A great many
persons do not know how TO write an
advertisement to attract the attention
of the reader. Others do not know what
style of advertising pays. Some of the
Oldest and best advertisers employ men
upon large salaries to write and con-
tract for their advertising.
Wanamaker keeps a man to do all his
advertising and pays him handsome
salary. The experienced advertiser be-
lieves in keeping his address ard style
of business continually before the peo-
pie.
THE TIMES now gives all those wish
ing to place their business before the
public grand opportunity. Go in the
city dire Glory, tho cost is a tribe; every
body reads it. Do you notice the daily
increase We arc determined to give
to the public a complete directory of
Roanoke's leading business and profess.

THE STRIKE \ FAILURE.

The strike Of the negro cotton pickcrs
in the South, which was planned to 20
into effect yesterday. was failure.
Evidently the reports sent out as to the
extont of the movement were grossly
exaggerated. However, to one who
knows anything of the condition and
manner in which the negro cotton
pickers live the idea OF a strike is
ridiculous. These negroes depend on
the proceeds of one days work to feed
them the next, and if one occasionally
gets ahead he loafs till no gets hungry
again.

STREET PAVING.

The second meeting of the series at
the Commercial Association last night
was no less interesting than the first.
Mr.. Rawn's paper on street paving was
devoted entirely to macadam. and was
very practical paper on that subject.
The position taken as to the needs Ct
Roanoke is that the Immediate demand
for better streets should DO supplied
with macadam.
A macadam street, il properly con-
structcd is undoubtedly much bettor
than any street of Roanoke is at pres.
ent, but it would tako but n little more
time and little moro money to make a
permanent pavement on at least a
small part of the most i'm portant bust
ness streets Of the city.
However, as tho Council has already
determined to go into the matchmaking
business, Mr.. Rawn's paper is timely,
especially that part which pertains to
the construction of macadam streets.
Roanoke asks to be delivered from
spending more money for such so-called
macadam as that now on Salem avenue
and Campbell street. 1t is to be hoped
that the street committee will fully APP
preciate Mr.. Rawn's idea of macadam
and see that Roanoke has that sort, il it
is impossible to construct permauo mt
streets.

James S. Simmons, S. w. Jamison, L.
II. Stewart, DR.. E. A. Parsons, j. H..

Of TIE TIMES. Tho latter said the
visit was connected with local real

in less than year 81, { 100000 of WASH

The opportunities for money making
in that city are greater to-day" said
Mr. Browne, than at any period of the
past. We have had no business failures,
and during an era OF recognized dullness
elsewhere have moved steadily onward.

Cocoa Cultivation.

Until within a few years the cocoa eX"
ported from Brazil was obtained e2ciu-
sively from wild trees in the forests, bat
recently its cultivation has beel sy5tematl'
cally begun. The farming of this pro-
duct is very simple, involving no more
work than is necessary to keep down the
weeds. During the first years banana
plants are grown between the rows to
shade the young plants. The trees will
produce on an average after the third
year 200 fruits, with from thirty to fifty
nuts each, and a plantation of $4,000
trees would yield 10000 pounds OF
nuts. A plantation of cocoa trees IS an
inheritance for the children of a family,
as it produces from fifty to eighty years.
The mandloca, or "manioc,'" grows every
where in Brazil. From it is made the
tapioca of commerce, and mandloca meal
is the chief farinaceous food Of the lower
classes. 1t affords an excellent starch
for laundry purposes. So prolific IS it
that a farm of twelve acres will produce
$4,000 pounds of tapioca. The meal IS
beautifully white, and in the interior OF
the country it is the invariable accom-
paniment of black beans and pork oTthe
farmers table WASHINGTON Star.
