THE vAGRANCY LAW.
A Suggestion That it be More Vigor-
Ously Enforced.

CAMPBELLToN, s. c.. May 31.-Editor
Morning NetOs: Could you not, through
your columns, induce the city fathers in au-
thority to more rigidly enforce the
"vagrancy lawp By so doing it would
compel much of the labor now lying idle
about your streets to seek employment and
free your city from a nuisance and con-
tinual unnecessary expense. 1t would also
assist the many enterprises which are now
under way about you, and which are actu-
ally suffering from the want Of labor to
push their work to completion, thereby
benefiting the community, and at the same
time Kidding it of continual nuisance.
The painful truth of my statement will
impress you more forcibly upon an exami-
nation of the facts.
If you will take it up and agitate the po-
lice department. think it will have the de
sired effect. SOUTH BOUND RAILROAD.

persons in the batch.
There are altogether thirty-two divorce
cases on the docket for trial at this term.
The majority of the reasons for divorce are
abandonment on the part of husbands.

CONSOLIDATION.

last issue concerning tho proposed con-
solidation of Roanoke, Vinton and Salem
into ono corporation, as advocated in
THE TIMES:
We beg leave to assure oar contemporary that
whenever the occasion requires, or there is n
reasonable ground for il, we shall possibly be
fonnd advocating consolidation; hut we cannot
rec the excuse for agitatin. now what might
occur five years hence. 1t was the prcse nj con
solidation which we opposed
Exactly But there is no agitation for
present consolidation" 1t will take n
good long time to get public sentiment
churned up for consolidation The mat
ter has got to be argued, discussed, agi-
tated, reasoned. The arguments will
have to be cooed TO the timid, fought
with the combattive, and hammered into
the heads Of the slow Of wit. The trend
OF affairs in each center will have to be
watched and studied. Sails must be
trimmed to catch the favoring breeze.
But this is the time to agitate the
question. The time will be ripe for
consolidation when the people want to
consolidate and demand it with a single
voice. When that day comes the Times.
Register will favor consolidation AS
heartily as TIE TINES. The seed is
planted and the soil is fit.

Growth Of KOnnOkc.

From the Washington Post
"Have you heard that the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad had decided on build
ing line into Salem?" said Mr.. J..
Shirley Saith, prominent citizen of
Roanoke, at tho National last night
AT Salem connection will be made
with the Roanoke and Southern. and
thus our city gets virtually an ad-
ditional railroad. Salem and Roanoke
will Gro many years merge into one big
town. They are now separated by less
than six miles and growing toward each
other at rapid rate.
Every day some new source OF
wealth is discovered in tho neiChbor-
hood OF Roanoke. Here is 4 piece of
granite that experts have spoken of
with enthusiasm. lncxhaustible beds
OF it were lately discovered within
eight miles of town. BESIDES the hills
are full of photographic rock, asbestos,
fire clay and nickel phosphate If any
one thinks Roanoke Is moribund he
makes great mistake. We shall have
