THE Democracy is doing its level best
to explain away the estate bank-of-
issue' demand of its platform. The
more it is apologized for, the worse the
situation becomes. The history of the
ffties is against it; common sense is
against it; financial experience proves it
to be folly; reason exposes its weakness,
and the most potent witnesses against it
are Democrats who, having knowledge
of the facts, have been called to the stand.

A COLD WAVE
Strikes Roanoke and Does Some Damage
to Water Pipes.

Strikes Roanoke and Does Some Damage
to Water Pipes.
The cold snap which struck Roanoke
Sunday played sad havoc with the water
pipes about town. 1t froze them IN
solid and many Sunday dinner was
spoiled on sccount of the cook having
no water in the boiler. No serious dam
age was done, however, although most
of the pipes are still frozen.
The thermometer got down to six de-
grees above zero Sunday night, but it
moderated little yesterday.
The most serious damage occurred at
the Walnut street bridge where a six
inch water main bursted Yesterday
afternoon. This main supplies the
property of the Gas and Water Company
with water and is run under the plank
ing of the bridge. The water was shut
off from the broken pipe and force of
men put to work repairing it.
Owing to the position of the pipe it
was necessary to rig a scaffold out from
the bridge for the men 20 stand on, and
it will probably take all Of today Is
make the repairs.
The break was clused by the water in
the pipe freezing and then suddenly
thawing. Some Of the packing in one of
the joints on the same pipe was also
blown out, but this can be soon repaired.
When the break occurred the water
rushed out of the hole into the river in
largo stream and resembled a nina
ture waterfall.

RA DFO r d.
WITH MASONIC HoNoRs.
The NJ. e. Church Corner Stone
Laid.
ROANOKE TIMES BUREAU,
RAOFORD. VA Ian

y
A large majority OF the Radfordites
were disappointed to-day in not being
able to attend the exercises incident to
the laying of the corner stone of the M.
e. Church in the Western section on ac-
count of the inclemency of the weather.
Regardless of this, however, about 300
persons witnessed the ceremonies. At
3 o'clock members of Virginia May
Lodge met at their hall in the Eastern
section, and the procession formed with
all members in full regalia, and fine
appearance they presented. About 100
Masons were in line, with Judge w. ID.
Vaughan as chief marshal, Mr.. l.. E.
Spalding, acting as his aid.
The line of march was down Third,
up First to Arlington, up Arlington to
Wadswo,th, to Fourth, down Fourth to
the corner of Fourth and Robinson.
Here the procession halted, the Masons
forming in Masonic order. The exer-
cises were begun by prayer by the pas
tor, Rev. j. e. Deacon. With the ex-
ception of an able address by Hon. A.
III. Pettibone, Greenvilie, Tenn, no
other speeches were made. The SER
vices incident to laying the corner stone
were conducted by Wo: shipful Geo. w.
Wright, of Marion, Va.
Among the articles deposited in the
stone were coins of various dates, the
constitution of the United States, char
ter of the city, copy of the Montgomery
Democrat, bible and hymn book of the
Methodist Church, postage stamps,
roster of Virginia May Lodge, Hagers-
town almanac and the names of the
pastor, trustees, architect and contrac-
tors.
Tonight Peyton Coles Chapter was
instituted by Most Excellent Geo w
Wright, grand high priest, assisted by
Excellent j. Ii. Frances. district deputy
grand lecturer, and the officers of the
same duly installed under their new
