FINE wHoLEsALE BUILDINGS.
A Number of These Erected During tho
Past Year.

A Number of These Erected During tho
Past Year.
The wholesale business, which has
increased so greatly during tho past
year. is due in large measure to the
splendid buildings which were put up to
accommodate the trade about a year ago.
These are located on Front street and
the Norfolk and Western railroad, be-
tween Henry and Commerce streets.
The building contains four large
wholesale rooms and is three stories
high. 1t was completed something over
year ago. P. L. Terry is the principal
owner Of the building.
1t is Wei located, being adjacent to
the railroad and of easy access to the
principal streets of the CITY.
The large four-story building on
Tazewell street erected by E. II.
Stewart during the year past, has since
been converted into wholeshale house.
1t is built of brick and is 45x9O feet. II
was originally intended as mattress
factory, but on its completion was con-
sidered as an admirable site for whole
sale house.
d. Nj. Gambill will erect one of the
largest Wholesale houses in the CITY
during the coming year. 1t is to be
located on Commerce street on the site
of the old tobacco warehouse 1t will
be of double front, three stories high
and extending back $50 feet.

The Democratic primaries are held
and over. The Democratic executive
committee for the next two years has
been elected, and within the next ten
days will meet and organize. Less than
$50 Democrats participated.
In the First ward about sixty-five of

was all one way.
Tho Third ward had livelier time
and close run between several candi.
dates. About eighty votes were polled.
The Fourth was handled beautifully,
and in the Fifth Will A. Carr showed
the old liners his heels and came in
away ahead of the ticket. The Fourth
ward had about fifty voters and the
Fifth nearly eighty.
The committee Is strong one. The
First ward is old line, last year and
year before, next year and year to come.
The other four wards have their own
ideas of things and these ideas will
come out in due season. Things have
look for the better.
The First ward meeting was slimly
attended, notwith standing it was de-
layed beyond the appointed hour to
give voters an opportunity to attend.
Chairman Huff, of the executive com.
mittee, was present, and put in solid
ticks for primary. An organization
was effected by electing NJ. c. Thomas
chairman, and l.. w. Terrill secretary.
L. w. Miller moved that each nominee
for placs on the executive committee
be required to state whether he favored
or opposed primary.
Mr.. Huff offered substitute provid-
ing that the committeeman selected be
ms tructed. after election by the voters
OF the ward, but withdrew it in favor of
a substitute offered by Rush U. Derr
favoring a primary. The substitute
was lost by vote of 20 to IL. where
upon the following gentlemen were
placed in nomination.: Thomas w. Mil
Ter, John Pfeiffer. James G. Knepp.
Waller p. Huff, John M. Hart, E. r.
Woodward and M. G. Thomas.
Mr.. Thomas declined to allow the use
of his name. Messrs. Pfeiffer and Knepp
were not present. and no one could state
their position on the primary question.
The other candidates expressed them
selves in favor of it. There were I94
votes cast by 65 voters:

The streets OF Roanoke are in worse
condition to-day than they have beeu
for some time.
Not only are a number of them full
of holes. but in some places large piles
OF stones and other obstacles are al
lowed to remain in the driyeways and
on the sidewalks.
Henry street, from Robertson as far
out as Mountain street, is disgrace to
the city. This street was graded a
short time ago, but is now in worse
condition, if possible. than ever be-
fore.
1t is full of deep ruts and holes that
mako driving over it not only very DIS
agreeable, but absolutely dangerous,
while in one place there is a pile of
large, rocks that form almost blockade.
On the same street, opposite the
building that was blown down some
time ago, large piece of scantling lies
right in tho path of vehicles. The gut
tiers and sidewalke also are badly in
need of attention.
The same condition of affairs exists
on Tazewell street, only no. quite in
such an aggravated form. This street
has also been recently graded, but q
large quantity of rock has been left
lying around.
The macadam, which has boon laid
and opened to the public, is beginning
to show signs of wear. On Kimball
avenue the metal is being torn up by
the travel over it and looks as though it
had never been rolled.
On Robertson street there are a num-
Der of soft places, which show ycry
plainly that the street was not properly
rolled before the macadam was laid.
On franklin road, between Ninth and
Tenth avenues, some very poor work
has been done on the sidewalks. The
banks have not been properly sloped
and dirt has fallan over on the board
walk. If heavy rain should set in n
very large quantity Of mud would
come down.
"Fhe cutters on both Salem avenue and
Jefferson street are in filthy condi-
ton. The cutters are all clogged up,
which prevents any water in tho streets
from running off. On Salem avenue,
particularly, the condition of the gut
tors is responsible for much of the mud
If they were properly cleaned out, so
as to perform tho work for which they
were built. a great deal of this water
would run OFF Tho chain gang could
be employed very profitably on these
Two streets for several DAYS.

M. c. THOMAS TALKS
On the Work of the Legislature
Just Closed.

Representative M. G. Thomas, who
returned from Richmond Friday, was
seen by TIMES reporter yesterday and
asked in regard to tho work Of the legis-
lature.
He said this was the most industrious
legislature there has been since tho war.
a large ma ority of its members are farm.
'ers and there was not much speechmak-
ing to hinder and delay business.
MIR Thomas stated that the settlement
OF the State debt was tho greatest piece
OF legislation that was enacted.
he referred to the large amount of
revenue that will DO saved to the State
oy the oyster bill and the act authoriz-
ing the county treasurer5 to distribute
the direct tax fund
He thought that the appropriation of
S25. 200 for the Worlds Fair exhibit was
too small. The amount should have
been at least $50, 1850.
MIR. Thomas informed the reporter
that the Mason railroad bill was a
measure that would give tho farmers
speedy reliof, and not work n hardship
on the railroads.
Tho Roanoke public building and its
amendments were passed without much
trouble. The legislature also empowers
tne Judge OF the HuStlngS Court to set
as many terms as he deems necessary.
The amendment to section 1887 Of
the code was good move, as it pro-
vides that office judgments shall be-
come final on the 18th day of any term
of the court
With the aid of Senator Marshall he
was able to hurry the now Roanoke
charter through without delay.
He said that the bill in regard to the
new registration provides that this work
shall be done in April.
The bill making provision for tho
removal of cases from the Hastings
Court to the circuit court passed all
right.
He said that the bill imposing tax on
building and loan associations caused
much excitement and it was defeated by
ten members filibustering in the senate
until the hour arrived for the ad iourn.

The condition of Mr.. Springer il very

which might provo fatal.
Tho method of treatment of the

are In perfect accord with my own
views, and tho case in my opinion. has
boon well handled throughout Every
