':Tbe borrower is debtor to the lender,

there are great many servants I'm this
county, and not only in this county, but all
over the land, everywhere. The borrower
in the quotation is the same us debtor in
any form. 1t is a serious question now as
to what is to become of the debtor. We
heard two OF our most substantial farmers
last week discussing the question of what
is to become Sf thu renter who depends
upon giving a lien to the merchant for sup
plies. This year the cotton crop
has been short, very short, tho price below
what it actually cost the people TO make it
and provisions as high as usual. Bacon is
worth almost as much today as it was in
the summer. The stringency of money
matters is causing everybody to reflect and
the general theme is, "what will become OF
the debtor" The creditor ncsds his money
maybe to satisfy another creditor, and so tht
matter goes on and on. 1t is good for man
that these revcrscs and trying times MAKE
up part of his life. 1t makes man fec
more humble and dependent upon his Ma
kcr. 1t would not do for every body to b
prosperous and have everything they want

We do not think that the Legislature

Governor Tillman's message where he rec
emmcnds that the Governor be invested
with more power. We don't think the
people arc quite ready TO have all tho DOW

man. The Governor wants the power

tho old way. If an officer fails to do his
duty he can bc punished for it crimnally
and then his bondsmcn arc responsible for

We agrc with the Governor that there
are some changes needed in the criminal
law. The Governor very wisely says:
"'The laws delays has been a matter

From Black TO White,

An article from an Anderson newspaper
about negro turning white reminds ply
sician of the city of u negro at WclIford's
named Perry Norman, who came to him
some time ago, to see what could be done
to prevent his turning white. His face and
half his body were almost white aud the
negro was alarmed. He said he had been
''coninred.' He had had difficulty eight
or nine years before with negro
with white spot on his right
check. The negro told Norman
he would fix him. Strangely white spot
appeared OH Norman's face identcally in
the place rs the spot on the negro with
whom he had tho difficulty. From then ON
he began to get white, and tho last the
physician saw of him ne was nearly white
except a few black spots.-Grccnvill,

From Governor Tiilman much of this

ly equipped; the mechanical hall is done,
rs are three brick houses for professors
residences, seven wooden frame resi-
dcnccs, one broom frame cottage and
six Broom frame cottages. The expert.

lShed, and the COW barn is ready and
fitted with silos and machinery. 1t con-
talns accommodations tor 100 animals.
The d0rmitory is completed, contain
ing l6G sleeping rooms 14x17 feet in size

rooms. These rooms arc yet to be plas-
tered, and this will be done in tho next

In addition to the expenditures men

mado careful estimates for tho future,
and an amount between 500, 900 and $40,

Last Tuesday night the gin house and

Factory, were destroyed by fire. The fire
was first discovered near midnight by some
young men who were on their way home
frnm II festive occasion in the ncig ghborhood.
Ihcy succeeded in putting it out. and after
they left the building was burned down,
the fire evidently breaking out in different
portion of the building from where it was
first cNtingrishcd. 1t is believed to be the
work OF an inccndiary, who, failing in his
first attempt, returned after the flames had
been extinguished, and set fire to the build
ing the second time. The loss will probaly
exceed 81 800, on which there was no insur-
ancc. 1t is supposed that a lot Of cotton
was stolen from the gin before the inccndi-
AIRY did his work.

THE FINANCIAL OUTDOOR,

The TIMES presents this morning in
terviews with the bankers of Roanoke.
1t is we'll to keep their interviews prom
inently before the public, for they of all
people constantly feel the financial
pulse of the nation and the section.
The testimony is unanimous that for
conservative development there will be
far more money invested in Southwest
Virginia this year than in any previous
year.
1t further is unanimous that obliga-
>tions are being promptly met and that
money is forthcoming for all legitimate
business demands.
This is satisfactory and confirmatory
statement. not only for Roanoke, but for
all Southwest Virginia. We are conf
dent that figures can be produced at the
present day which will satisfy reason
able men that the population of South
west Virginia will double within i've
years, and the prospective development
leads to the conclusion that the second
five will receive an equal increase.
But for each incomer there is only one
course which will yield personal salts
faction, and that is individual investiga-
lion. Come and see for yourself
