CHATS WITH THE PEOPLE.

Hon. Jacob Yost, who represented the
Staunton district in the Fiftieth Con-
gress, but who has now retired from
politics and is devoting himself to in
dustrial development in and around
Iron Gate, spent yesterday in Roanoke,
on his way from trip to Brittol. "THE
TIMES is O frst-class paper" said he,
s'and a credit to this section. l read
with great deal of interest the article
in it this morning by Mr.. E. c. Pechen
on the iron ore supply of this section.
1t is the best presentation of the situa-
tion that / have ever seen. 1 have
great faith in Roanoke and believe it
will BIO large city. We can scarcely
conceive of the industrial progress Vir-
ginia will make in the next twenty
years."
F. b. Smith: 81 am especially pleased
with the course of THE TIMES in regard
to the appropriations for public i'm
provements. I think the result of the
bond election will make this the auspi-
cious year in Roanoke's history. The
outlook is very bright"
Charles jacobson, city engineer of
Pulaski: THE people of Roanoke did
wisely in approving the bond ordinances.
The streets and sewerage system of the
city must be improved. l admire the
stand taken by THE TIMES for the judi
cious expenditure Of the money for pub
lie Improvements, and think it will re-
lieve the taxpayers of future trouble
along that line"
w. j. and L. Blair, builders: "a
study of the situation has satisfied us
that the building article recently pub
lished in THE TINES was very con-
sentative estimate of the operations for
the pre6ent year. The prospect in our
line of business was never brighter,
and we are satisfied that this is the ex-
perience of other contractors"

vIRGINIANs KNOW a GOOD PLACE


Roanoke has wide reputation as
lively, interesting and hospitable city,
and is attracting many important
gatherings. Within the last six months
the State Dental Association, the Grand
Commandery of Knights Templal, the
Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias,
the Virginia Real Estate Convention,
and the Baltimore Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South have
been held in Roanoke.
The next great meeting, ono of the
largest and most important ever held in
the city, will be the assembling of the
Presbyterian Synod of Virginia here in
October. This is one of the largest
Synods in the Southern Presbyterian
Church, and numbers among its members
some of the leading divines of the
country.
With the improvements that are to be
made this year in the way of fine streets,
larger and better public buildings and a
magnificent opera house, Roanoke will
become more than ever a city of gath
erings.

A NIud-slinger in the jug.

Sam Jackson, colored, was arrested
last night on Railroad avenue for fight
ing Bell johnson. Bell is great mud
Singer, and that element being in par
ticularly fine order last night, she threw
great balls of it at Sam, pelting him
about the head and face. Sam became
furious. Shaking the mud from his per-
son, he made rush at the woman,
stopped her over in the street and rolled
her in the mud and water. Her cries
awaked the avenue and several dozen
low-spirited denizen rushed out and
looked on. Officers Manuel and Locke
heard the disturbance and rushed to the
scene OF the conflict. Sam was iugged.

The Mighty Has Fallen.

Railroad avenue has been unusually
quiet for the past two weeks Charlie
Moten complains of hard times. George
Colvin means every time Officer Brown
gets on the train. He shudders when
he comes back with gun. George will
have to face the grand jury, and Rail-
road avenue mourns with him. All the
good times are gone. Things are be-
ginning to look dismal Perhaps an
other raid planned and carried out by
the chief would rid the city forever of
this eye-sore. RAILROAD avenue must
go. Chief Morris has said it."

Rev. Il. S. Wilson, synodical evange-

A LAW THAT BREEDS MURDER.

The mountainous of North Carolina
have very decided opinion as to their
rights to make whiskey without paying
revenue to the government, notwith-
standing the mandates Of Uncle Sam to
the contrary. They will make It'll they
have to kill revenue officers in the
attempt, as is shown by the killing Of
two officers in Stokes county Friday.
Sometimes the moonshiners are the
victims, but the tragedy is still without
effect as to the enforcement of the law.
Why should there be law in this
model republic of freedom that abridges
the privileges of citizens and keeps up
perpetual civil war on small scale?
The Stokes county tragedy is only
one of the many that mark the career
of the internal revenue system.

The Mayor Is AN Richt.

From the Graham Headlight
The ROANOKE TIMES has had an in
terview with Mayor Dillon and writes
him up in such style as to create rip
pie of gratified vanity among the people
here, who live to some extent in the
greatness reflected from their officials.
The interviewer has discovered that his
honor has all the qualities necessary to
rule turbulent people and bring a
reckless constituency into a wholesome
moral and law-abiding frame Of mind.
lie discovers also that the mayor physi-
cally is one Of the bad men from Bitter
Creek, just built to order by Providence
to tit into an Office of such heavy re-
sponsibility.

MIKE DECIDED NOT 10 STAY.
Ho Became Dissatisfied with His Lodging
Place and Escaped.


Place and Escaped.
Mike o'Brien was given lodgings at
tho station-house Friday night. He
was not arrested, but claimed he had no
where to lay his head, and desired quar-
tors under police protection.
Mike submitted to the requirements
of searching with anything but a pleas
ant countenance. He was not very
sober, and as an empty bottle was found
on him, the officer accused him of being
drunk, and threatened to lock him up.
Mike became greatly alarmed. but the
officer allowed him to sit in the corridor
between the cells.
About 3 o'clock yesterday morning
Mike became restless and desired to get
away, but was refused. He watched his
chance, however, and securing q rope,
tied it to the water sink in the hallway
and swung to the ground. The officer
heard the noise and looked out in TIM o
to see Mike let loose the rope and take
to his heels.
1t was a daring escape, but no one
cared for his presence and no effort will
be made to capture him.

Bond Ordinances Monday Night.
The colored freeholders are deter

thoroughly discussed. A committee
called at The TIMES office yesterday and
left the following resolutions:
Whereas at recent meeting of a

Whereas we do not believe that it is
the intention of the colored freeholders
of this city to vote against said appro-
priations on the 18th day of March,

said resolution does not voice the senti-
ments of the majority of the colored
freeholders aforesaid; therefore be it
Resolved, That a meeting of the col

called on Monday night, March 10th,
