Owners and riders of bikes kick
against the third section of Ordinance
No. so, which reads:
That it shall be unlawful for any person or
persons to ride upon bicycle on the streets,
lanes or alleys at night without a headlight
attached thereto.
1t is said that the headlight is
costly.
And that a biker going out, expect
ing not to return before nightfall,
would be unnecessarily burdened, etc.
Both OF which considerations, they
think, constitute hardship they have
not deserved.
In fact, they feel they are punished
for a single mishap caused by an in
experienced boy.
Later-Two young men were arrested
Thursday evening for violating No. so,
and yesterday the Mayor fined one of
them $l.75. Some confusion arose
over the disposition of the arrest cost,
and there the matter seems to stand.

1t is a common thing to hear people

United States Regie,c of the I'd inst,
showing what is in the wind:~
The fire insurance situation is assuming a
serious phase. 1t becomes a question of
raising the rates or doing without any pro-
lection against fire. The New York Board of
Fire Underwriters claim that the last years
premium receipts were S7,0SS, 900; that the
losses were st, 100000 and that other expenses
were S2,S00,000, making a total outlay of
S9,300,0OO, net loss to the companies of over
81, 1900. 1t is apparent enough that cap
italists cannot be induced to put up money in
the face of an experience Of this sort. The
proper things to do are to raise the rates,
select risks more conservatively and Judi.
ciously and to insist upon fuller and more
rigid inspection, Property owners should
recognize the situation and accede to the de.
mands of the companies.

AN OPPORTUNITY.

Now that Winston has the adj
vantages afforden by the com
petition of two great railroads
the Norfolk & Western and the

ping facilities are unsurpassed in
any city in North Carolina and
equaled by but few.
The opinions of prominent cit
liens given in this issue show
how the recent deal is regarded
here. Hon. III. S. Trout Of Roa-
noke struck the keynote when he
said: Our southern friends have
nothing to fear and every thing
to- hope for"
Nowis Winston's opportunity.
Now is the time for the people of
Winston to roll up their sleeves
and go to work to build up their
city as they have never done be-
fore. They have already done
much, but with increased oppor-
tunities the. can do much more.
One way to start is a thorough
discussion of matters pertaining
to the progress Of the Twin-City
by the Chamber of Commerce.
The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1892-03-03
THE NEW RAIL ROAD DEAL.

From the Roanoke Times.l
The Norfolk & Western Railroad
Company, following out its recent
line of policy, alb -orbed another rail
road yesterday, and now has South
ern connection that will make it a
strong competitor of the Richmond
and Danville.
While many will be disappointed
| that the Roanoke and Southern has
ceased to be an Independent corpor-
alton, they believing that it is bet
ter for Roanoke's interests that there
should be an independent ne enter
ing this city, still the cloud is not
without its silver lining.
The absorption of the road by the
Norfolk and Western will mean,
very probably, more rapid devel-
opment of the country through
which this line runs than could have
been possible if the road had re
manned Independent, for the Nors
folk AMI Western possesses far wider
resources than a single independent
line. 1t will undoubtedly use these
resources between Roanoke aud
Winston wherever the opportunity
exists.
The n rfolk and Western is a
great town builder. All along its
lines towns and even cities have
sprung up with marvellous rapidity.
There is no reason why, between
Roanoke and Winston, a town of
equal strength with Radford or Sa-
lem should not develop within the
next three years with the same ener-
gy that these two places have shown.
The p 4ople living in the country
through which the r anoke and
Southern runs now have an oppor-
tunity tC seek Northern markets for
all their produce, and good South
ern markets too, for that matter.
Had the roai remained as an in
dependent line it would have been a
| long time before it could have been
properly equipped, but now it has
all the advantages of an old road.
The service, both passenger and
freight, can be enlarged as occasion
demands, and the vexatious delays,
impossible to avoid in a new road
done away with Roanoke will al
SO be the gamer by this.
But the thing that will affect Roa-
noke the most is the increased
rmount of work that will be thrown
into the Roanoke Machine Works
The equipment of this road, instead
of being given into the hands of for
eign establishments, will undoubted-
come into the shops here, still furth-
er stimulating the activity of this
splendid insritution.
