Passes on Charles Cannon.

That's the Sentence Justice Howerton
Passes on Charles Cannon.
Charles Cannon was tried yesterday
before Justice Howerton on the charge
of stealing two pairs of pants and q quilt
from room in tho Exchange building.
He tried to put the crime on negro
named Coleman. and had him locked up
in Jail. But the testimony was too con-
elusive. The pants had been recovered
from persons who had bought them
froA Cannon. He was given sixty days
in Jail.
The justice then told Charles that he
would take off fifteen days If he would
tell where the quilt was. After some
hesitation he consented, and went with
Officer Schancks, who found it on Bun
ker Hill.
Policeman Rensch, whose father had
some clothes stolen by Cannon, and for
which he was tried and given fifteen
days in Jail a few weeks ago, accompan-
led the officer and found the clothes
which had been stolen. Justice Hover
ton took five days off for this, and
Charles now goes in for forty days.

Occasionally q journal or an indi.
vidual expresses lack of confidence in
the future Of this, that, or the other
Southern town.
1t is notable fact that no reputable
citizen, trades journal, newspaper, or
corporation has been charged with ex
pressing any such opinion about Roa-
noke, the Magic City of the South"
People will not speak falsely about
place or people when they know all the
world would recognize their expressions
as false without taking the trouble to
investigate.
Roanoke is net yet ten years old. A
little over years ago Big Lick had $50
inhabitants. To-day Roanoke, the sue
cessor Of this unpretentious village
has over $4,000 inhabitants.
Big Lick had no industries, but Roa-
noke is exceptionally blessed in this
respect and Is continually adding to her
manufacturing establishments.
During the year 1891 several large
manufacturing plants will be added to
the list, which has won for Roanoke tho
title, "The Pittsburg of the South
The muck bar and plate mill, the
Duval Engine Works, the blanket and
rug mill, the hardware plant, the Mid
way Iron and Spike Mill and tho new
B,idgewater Carriage Works are new
industries in the catalogue for 1891.
Those plants will employ not less
than 1900 skilled and unskilled me-
chanics, and add not less than 5000 TO
our population.
The Roanoke and Southern shops will
be commenced this year-as soon as the
line is completed from this city to Win

a TEN-FooT HEAD OF HAIR.
It Belongs DO a Delicate Little Te1as
Woman Who L. Proud OF IT.

Ie Belongs DO Delicate Little Texas
Woman Who L. Proud OF 1t.
The longest suit Of hair in the world
Is perhaps that which grows Oh the
head Of Miss Asenath Philpott, Of
Gainesville, Tex, hers trailing on the
ground when she stands nearly four
feet, and measuring in oil ten feet and
seven inches. Miss Philpott is slight,
delicate woman, approaching middle
age and regards her magnificent tresses
as rather nuisance, complaining that
their weight actually drains her
strength.
The present growth, says the New
York Journal, Is of the past seven
years, as in 1854 her head was shaved
during spell of brain fever. 1t is nee
essary to her health to cut out large
quantities of hair every few months,
and this she has regular sale for from
some large wig mandatory In the cast,
which pays her we'll for it, as its fine
ness and silky gloss Is exceptional, be-
sides being of much-admired red gold
tint
Miss Philpott says she has been sew
eral times approached by enterprising
proprietors of dime museums, who have
made her offers to travel with them as
freak, and has also been requested to
oct as agent for sundry hair tonics- She
claims that her family have for genera
lions been noted for the beauty and
length Of their hirsute ornaments, her
grandfather having beard that fell to
his feet and being obliged to cut his hair
every day or two. Her mothers hair
was such that when she lay in her coffin
1t enwrappcd her from head to foot and
was then obliged to be folded back sew
eral times.

movement has been started to or
ganize Young Mems Democratic
Club. TINES reporter interviewed a
number of leading Democrats yesterday
in reference to the subject, and all are
OF the opinion that such an organization
would be of material benefit to the
party.
Mayor Evans is heartily in favor Of
tho movement and said it would be we'll
to have permanent organization, not
to hold meetings all the time. but to be
ready in case the party needs effective
work. The mayor will aid in every
way possible in the furtherance of the
organization.
Hon. John w. Woods, thinks clut
would be just what is needed in Roam
oke, and believes in organized Demo-
cracy. He does not think the fight this
fall will be Of sufficient interest for
a club. but it should be started now and
they would be in good trim when the
presidential campaign comes on. Its
success will depend upon the men at the
head of it and it should be under the
control OF the Democratic executive
committee.
Rush u. Derr, II. w. Fry and many
others are heartily in favor of the club,
and Will aid 1t in every possible way.
they believe the success of the Demo-
cratic party in Roanoke depends upon
such an organization.
1t is likely that meeting will be
called in q short time to organize the
club. Il is proposed to make it cost as
little as possible and be so far reaching
as to take in every active Democrat in
the city.

ACCUMULATED WEALTH.
Historical Incident In Which an Astor
Forgot Ills Honor.

Historical Incident In Which an Astor
Forgot His Honor.
If some men who have accumulated
great riches had been more scrupulous
and less selfish in the accumulation
there would be less prejudice among the
poor and the moderately we'll off against
the owners of many millions, says
writer IN tho Network Press The Astor
wedding reminds the student Of Ameri-
can history of the singular course taken
by the first American Astor at the time
of the war of 1879. In his anxiety to pro-
tect his Canadian fur interests John
jacob Astor, having procured the earli-
est news Of tho declaration Of war, sent
word by express messenger to his agent
or partner ut Queenston, Can
The messenger, as he dashed through
the villages and by the pioneer farms of
western New York, never limited o word
of the portentous secret that he bore
in his breast He crossed tho Niagara
to Canada and there made known the
fact, whisper of which on che Ameri-
can side would have put the whole Dor
der on guard. The Canadians, without
a moments hesitation, organized On ex-
petition and descended on the unsus-
pecting Americans OF course Astors
sole object was 70 save his furs
1t is we'll known that the fortune of
the Rothschilds, the great European
bankers, was swellcd immensely by tho
use OF early knowledge regarding the
result ut Waterloo. Millions of hearts
would have been relieved by making
known that exclusive knowledge, but
wealth looked after it's own interests.
without respect to patriotism OF hui
manity.
Such instances might be multiplied,
but these are among the most conspio-
uous. It is not strange, therefore, that
there Is disposition on the part of the
people toward harsh criticism of the
Hebrews who possess extraordinary
wealth, when wealth has been SO often
indifferent to the highest interests Of
the people.

A STUBBORN NEGRO
In Bed Twenty-Scvcn Years, Though Not
Physically Disabled

In Bed Twenty-Seven Years, Though Not
Physically Disabled
Ono Of the most remarkable illustra-
tons Of tho power Of the human will,
says the st. Louis Globe-Democrat, Is
John Bond, negro about fifty years
old, who, although in no way disabled.
has lain In bed for nearly twenty-seven
years When quite young man he,
with his mother and two sisters, lived
on farm near Paoli, Ind The mother
determined TO sell the farm and move
to Mitchell This plan met with great
opposition from the son, who declared
II the farm was sold he would 90 to bed
and never get up. No attention was
paid to the threat, and the farm was
sold and the family moved here On
the night of their arrival John went to
bed as usual. but when morning came
he refused to get up. No amount of
persuasion, threats or entreaties could
get him out OF bed. and for twenty-seven
yeal's he has stubbornly carried out his
threat of not arising, with one excep-
ton, that being the death of his mother
few years ago About midnight, ns
the neighbor women were watching
the corpse. they were terribly fright
ing most ghostly appearance, oil
draped in white and his face as CHASTITY
as that of q dead man Some of them,
not being aware of his existence,
thought they were being visited by q
sure-enough spook. When he first took
to his bed the case caused great deal
of comment Physicians examined him
and pronounced him in perfect health.
But all means which were used to raise
him proved failures An alarm Of fire
and cry of burglars had no effect on
him whatever. AS time has passed the
people have lost interest In his case and
are only reminded of his existence by
seeing him carried on strctcher to the
polls on the occasion of some important
election. In tho last few years his
health has been gradually failing him,
and he lies In bed, his head and body
completely covered. and speaks to no
one unless spoken 10, and then he an
| swcrs all questions as intelhgcntly as
anyone.
