For Mayor of Roanoke.
From the Iron Belt.

FROM tile Iron Bet.
AS the time approaches for tho election
of city officers in Roanoke it is proper 10
look around for suitable timber, and in
city like Roanoke we should look for
the man best suited to the office regard
less of his political views.
The Iron Belt is an industrial journal
devoted to the best interests of the Sec
ton it represents, and, believing that
the mayor OF the city OF Roanoke can do
much to advance the industrial interests
of the city, ii so disposed, we desire to
speak word in behalf OF gentleman
who has been urged to announce him
self as candidate for the Office of MAYOR
We refer to Mr.. Edmund G. Pechin, gen
eral manager of the Virginia Develop.
ment Company and president of the
Commercial Association.
Mr. Pc chin is identified with every
movement having for it's object the up.
building of Roanoke and Is one of the
most earnest workers for the city's well
fare here. If Mr.. Pechin should be
elected to the office of mayor the bust
ness of the office would be carried on by
strict business methods and with thor
ough system, thing that has been woe
fully absent in the past, and We trust
that Roanoke will honor herself by
electing this gentleman to the office.
AS TO which political party Mr.. Pechin
affiliates with we can state with all hon
esty that it is a matter entirely un-
known to us, but this is question of
no concern to Roanoke. What is wanted
in the mayoralty of this city is man
who will best discharge the duties of
the office. regardless, as before stated,
of whether he be Democratic, Republi-
can, or what not.
n Roanoke will do wise thing if she
elects Edmund c. Pechin mayor of the
city.

The Indications are That JEFF Dooley
VIII Never be Executed.
a. Blair Antrim, one of tho attorneys
who defended jeff Dooley, received a
letter yesterday from DR.. Dulaney, of
Lynchburg, confirming the report of
Officers Flick and Early, as to the
condition Of Dooley. DR.. Dulaney says
he is very much emaciated, speechless
and unable to walk, and that II he lives
until April Sth, the day fixed for his
execut icn for the murder of Tom
Mabry, he will have to be brought TO
Roanoke on litter. DR.. Dulaney sug-
gests that Commonwealth's Attorney
Smith ask Governor Mckinney to re-
spit Dooley.
A TIMES reporter saw Commonwealth
Attorney Roy B. Smith, who said he
had no recommendation to make, as he
had received no official notice of
Dooley's condition. The matter was
solely in the hands of Governor Nc
Kinney, who would probably grant q
respite on the statement of DR.. Dulaney
Mr.. smith will, of course, not object to
this.

BREvITIES.

Now that liquor licenses have been
granted to number of parties move
ment has been established for brew
ing and ice plant in Radford. A gentle
man of Roanoke and also one of Poca-
hontas have expressed their willingness
to subscribe literally to tho enterprise,

seem that in short time the plant will
be located.

The efforts of number of gentlemen
to establish Young Mems Christian
Association in Radford are meeting
with unexpected results. This was
fully verified by the immense crowd
which greeted State Secretary II. O.
Williams. of the Methodist Church, last
night. The meeting was very inter

them selves of the opportunity to become

FOR PROGRESS.

THE TIMES has progressed so steadily
/and even rapidly during the past eigh-
teen months that it will be pardoned
for an occasional reference to itself
1t feels confident that in its news
columns it can safely challenge compar-
ison with any daily in Virginia outside
of Richmond.
In size it is the largest daily in the
State.
In circulation it is exceeded by but
three Virginia dailies.
In the extent of it's advertising
patronage, particularly in the number
of its advertisements, it is exceeded by
no daily in the South outside of Louis
Vile and New Orleans.
AS whole, 1t claims to be the best
daily paper printed in any CITY of 25, 900
people in the United States.
The reasons for this high standard of
excellence are not confined to THE
TIMES office, but reflect the vital energy
and activity of the business interests OF
Roanoke and Southwest Virginia.
The TINES claims to be the re presen-
native daily of Roanoke and the South
west. But like the whole Mineral Bolt
of Virginia IL is restless with desire
for progress. 1t will advance.
BUTT desires TO enlist its readers to
ita more material advancement. When
Roanoke has $4,000 people The TIMES
will be beyond doubt the best daily in
the State. When this Is city of rs, 1000
: it will be the best daily in the South
That desired end can be reached more
quickly If the readers of The TINES
will co operate to that end. The method
is simple. We act on the safe presum p
tion that It's readers are it's friends.
The revenue OF a newspaper is derived
from two sources, subscriptions and ad-
yertising. The advertising patronage
4 depends largely upon circulation and is
influenced by it. OF course, the larger
the circulation OF the journal, the
higher will its advertising rates become.
The larger tho circulation, tho wider
the advertising patronage, and the
greater the cons equent income, the
larger will be the amount which will be
devoted to improving the paper.
IL each of the three thousand and
over subscribers to THE TINES should
10 the next week secure another sub
scriber and thus double iss circulation,
n the increased revenue from this source
would bring about decided develop
ment of the best features of the paper.
That increase OF circulation would be
Il shortly supplemented by an increase OF
revenue from advertising patronage to
3 ar equal amount.
The TINES is earnestly and thorough.
5y devoted to builiing up Roanoke and
II developing this section. It's ability to
do SO Ii measured by the extent of its
Support 1t is prosperous, but would be
more 80; it is a good newspaper, but
would be great one.

get at the facts. Other and corrobo-
ratsve evidence could have been
obtained yet was not.
Roanoke seems to be safe refuge
fos certain class of criminals. AS to
the merits and demerits of this partiou-
lar case at issue THE TIMES may be in
position to make a conclusive statement
shortly.
