FOR rHE surrERINa POOR.

THE TIMES is aware of the fact that
there are deserving poor in Roanoke
who need the very necessities of life.
1t has inaugurated a relief fund of
which full account given elsewhere.
This fund will be under tho immediate
control and supervision Of the clergy
men Of Roanoke, who will direct it's dis
tribution so as to obtain the best re-
suits.
There are as many things needed as
human necessities demand. Food and
fuel are the leading needs. Clothing
for men, women and children is wanted.
To make plain plan whereby the fund
can be best accumulated. we suggest
the order plan. II you want to contri.
butte groceries, send an order on your
grocer for as much as you see 1T to give.
II for coal, send an order which Jour
coal dealer will recognize. If you have
any serviceable clothing to spare. send
letter or postal to the effect that you
will deliver to it's bearer, when vouched
for, certain specified articles of clothing.
II druggist wishes to aid, let him send
acknowledged orders for so many pro-
criptions
BY following this plans not less than
$4,000 in supplies may be made availa-
BILE and the contributors will hardly
feel the gift, while the recipients will
be materially aided all at once.
In case Of money contributions we
would prefer that it be sent by check
payable to the order of the pastor of tho
donor.
Act at once.

A Reformed Gambler Speaks ON this

lous conversion OF John p. Quinn, a
noted gambler Of that city. The Post
also gives full report OF an address
delivered before the Y. Nj. @. A. Of that
city
Quinn's talk was along the Same line
with largo number of others who get
up out of the gutter, profess religion
every fall and continually pour into the
ears of the people tales of woe in regard
to their past unhappy and unholy oxis-
tence.
He warned the boys against con-
hdence men and stated that whom he
was boy living on his fathers farm, in
Missouri, he learned to gam bio and the
first time he got away from home a
confidence man broke" hi,n entirely.
He gave some practical illustrations
demonstrating the folly of "greenie':
betting on 4 gamblers trick. proving
that the gambler was bound to win
every time.
He concluded his talk by saying it
was an easy matter for the police to
break up gambling "hells," but" said
be, "it is bad time for wool growing
when the wolves are sent to guard the
Sheep"

THE IRON INDUSTRY.
A Census Ofico Bulletin Shows How 1t
Has Increased in the South.

Census Ohice Bulletin Shows How 1t
Has Increased in the South.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. ia bulletin
upon the iron and steel industries of
the Southern States was issued by the
census office to-day. There are twelve
States now engaged in developing their
mineral resources by the establishment
of rolling mills and steel works, namely,
Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky,
Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.
The capital invested in blast furnaces
in these States increased from about
Sl7,000,000 in 1880 to over $33, 900 600 in
1890; in rolling mills and steel works
from over Sl1 500, 600 in 1880 to SIT, &c.,
600 in 1890, and the products Of these
works increased9 from 1901 tons to
$4,000 the increase being exclusively
in steel.
There has been q marked decrease in
the forge and bloom branch OF the iron
industry, resulting from improved pro-
cesses in rolling mills and the extension
OF transportation facilities. Hence the
manufacture of bar iron from ore by di.
rect process has become practices ally an
extinct industry in the South. The
total number of establishments has d.
minished as the result of concentration,
but there. has been an increase in the
output. The total number of hands
employed has diminished but the ag.
gregate wages have increased from
Sc, eel 900 TO Sizes, 900.

cial development 1t will contain stats
tical ia bles on many important matters
in Roanoke's progress. 1t will show
what the outside public and not few
Roanokers arc unaware of-that the
liquidation of real estate obliga-
tions exceeds that OF any year
in the history of Roanoke, rising
to figures far in excess of those
of any city in Virginia. 1t will show
by this that Notwithstanding the in.
vestment Of hundreds of thousands of
dollars IN building, the citizeas of
Roanoke have reduced their aggregate
Indebtedness by figures running into
the millions.
If The TIMES has any mission to per-
form in issuing this edition it is to back
up the efforts Of the courageous business
men of Roanoke who have put their
brains, their muscle, their hearts and
their fortunes into the hard, unremit-
ting fight which is going to win for the
Magic City, the crown of commercial
and industrial supremacy over any city
between Washington and New Orleans.
THE TIMES desires to call especial at
tention to this edition and desires the
cooperation of every citizen of Roanoke
in placing it in the hands of as many
people as possible. Every man who has
an interest in Roanoke must have 1t,
and every one who may be induced to
take an interest should have it.

De Lesseps, Trial Nearing the End.

PARIS. Jan. 19.-Barboux began the
argument for the defense in the Panama
Canal conspiracy case today. Barbour
gave full vent to his oratory in recount
ing the many struggles OF Count Fer
dinand de Lesseps and laid particular
stress upon his contest with Great Bri
tain over the Suez canal. He then pro-
ceeded to examine into the duties and
responsibilities Of the directors of the
company, which he declared had been
faithfully and correctly carried out.
He dealt with the charges against De
Lesseps and endeavored to show that
they were unfounded. In concluding
his speech Barbour declared that the
heavy OUTLAWS made on behalf of the
company were fully justified, and he
proposed to prove that public opinion on
this matter had been misled. When
Barbour had finished the court ad.
journed until Tuesday.

This will be the play presented at
Olympia Theater Thursday. of next
week, by Mark Murphy and his excel.
lent company.
There have been q good many farce
comedies launched upon the suspect
ing public, but "O'Dowd's Neighbors"
Can take rank with any of them. 1t
belongs to the same class as Natural
Cas-" Evans & Hoey's Parlor Match"
and John +. Kelly's "McFee of Dub
lin" The principal characters in the
peace do not introduce themselves too
prominently, and the effect of gener'
al vaudeville entertainment is sought
rather than attempt to give a play
with a story in which fun predomi-
mates.
Mark Murphy and Sam J. Ryan,
that irresistible team, are the chief fun
makers. Miss Clara Thropp, called by
many the American Carmencita." is
another shining light in this company.
Selections are introduced from all the
leading comic operas of the day by
Misses Jennie Murphy and Mamie
Taylor.
The butterfly dance from La Cigale
will be introduced by the Misses Ford

by Miss Clara Thropp.
