BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS
AS y FACTOR IN THE MAX
ING OF ROA NOINE

This form OF cooperation is by no
means a novel one. 1t has prevailed for
many years in every enlightened coun-
try in Europe, and as its advantages
became apparent, has received in all OF
Thorn the fostering care of government
The reason is manifest: for every homo
brought into being through this instru-
mentality secures to the State tax
able value, and to the community q
respectable citizen and the founder of a
family. There is no known means, in.
deed, by which vice can be held 80
effectually in check as by the induce
ment to men to save, and it is every
way more wholesome to society at large
to sec money spent for homes than for
prisons and work Bulldog and
loan associations have been planted in
all parts OF Great Britain for more than
a century, and so great has this interest
become in the progress OF time there
that 1t is estimated that 500, 600, 600 will
not now more than cover the dues paid
in per annum by their members. The
testimony following to their usefulness
is from tho pen OF the greatest authority
in this line in the world, Mr.. Arthur
Scratchlev, of London. and it will be
observed that he speaks both OF tho old .

THE TIMES BUILDING EDITION.

THE TIMES BUILDING EDITION.
TIE TIMES BUILDING EDITIoN is at
last completed. It tells compactly and
tersely the wonderful story of Roanoke's
growth in 1892. 1t is plain and unvar-
nished, but the utmost care has been
taken to max it accurate and complete.
We extend our earnest thanks to the
land companies, building associations,
business houses, architects and con.
tractors whose staunch support has en-
this direction. TIE TIMES has honestly
and earnestly directed it's efforts to aid
in building up Roanoke. at no time
has it doubted the final and speedy
growth Of the Magic City to station
vastly moro important than it now &C.
cupies. But this lesson must be borne
in mind from now on. The spur and in
centive for development must
come from within. Roanoke
men, brains and money have got to bear
the major portion of the burden. The
city is big enough to lead Off on its own
account and shake loose the apron
strings of outside capitalists.
Roanoke will continue to welcome all
the elements of capital, enterprise and
population which may come from with
out, but self reliance from now on will
be the main factor in every stride.

Thus says the last number of the

Roanoke is on the soundest basis of any

Within five years it will have passed
Norfolk, Knoxville and Birmingham.
Within eight years it will equal

Within ten years it will have GO, 600

Within fifteen years it will have

Within two years it will have an

How TO Take a Turkish Bath.

1t is not unusual to hear complaints
that the Turkish bath has induced
considerable depression, or even ex-
haustion, lasting perhaps several
days, but the cause OF this is that
proper precautions have not been
taken by the bather. The baths
must be adapted to the strength of
the patient; the bsther should not
stay too long in the hot chsmbe and
the bracing process should be applied
only few seconds, with water not
very cold. Twenty minutes is long
enough for most persons to remain in
the hot chamb Der, and a safe rule IL to
leave at the first symptoms of faint
ness or fatigue.

Prof. Jacques is of opinion that let.
ters can be photographed by tele.
graph by the use of a comparatively
simple apparatus. He has frequently
sent photographs over the wire, and
his laboratory consisted of only two
rooms, in one of which was an ordi-
nary Photographic camera. small
developing closet, and q small cubical
box, In one side of which was slit of
sufficient size to receive postal card
From this box, which WAS placed on
. table In the middle OF the room. two
wires stretched across a partition
wall, and passed through this
to q similar cubicsl box standing
on a table in the middle OF the ad-
Joining room. IL Is desired to trans
NIT message on an ordinary postal
card, the note is first inscribed and
then placed abont inches In front of
the camera, where it is brightly illu-
mined by an electric lamp. The but
ton of the camera IL then pressed, and
the operator takes the plate- holder to
the developing closet, and soon reap
pears with q hastily made negative,
which he drops into the slit In the GU
bical box on the cubical box on the
table in the middle of the room. On
going into the adjoining room the
operator fluids issuing from the
corresponding box on the tablein the

which the note is reproduced ia it's

OF being In adjoining rooms, will
effect just the same results II one is

and the other in New York, and In
this case letters written In one city

Electrical Fences.

An invention is now claimed for
Australia which has long been in
vogue in this country, to-wit: The
idea of transmitting telephone mes
sages over the wires of fences. 1t APP
pears that the manager Of two OF
the largest stations In Australia be-
thought himself to make q telephone
conductor of the wire fences running
around the station. By utilizing the
top wire OF the fence, and carrying the
wire across the road on poles, he has
connected each station at the
moderate charge Of IS per mile. He
carries an instrument in his buggy,
and by connecting 1t with the wire
at any point he is able to commune
cate with either homestead. This
Is means Of communication of no or
binary value when the immense dis
lance at which homesteads are often
situated is taken into consideration,
ard the difficulty of procuring mes-
sengers in scsrsely populated coun-
try, and the wide-awake Australian
dou btless finds himself as we'll re-
warded for his enterprise as have
been the owners of many Western
ranches who have for many years
adopted the same practice.

Rob Roy An Ancient CeIt.

London Globe.
Touching the length OF Rob Roy's
arm, we do not know what authority
Scott had for the assertion that Rob
could tie his garter standing. but is Is
so hard to believe that we could al
most wish that some PSYCHOLOGIST were
permitted to measure Rob's bones,
which, If they be not reduced to dust,
are lying under the gravestone in
Balquhidder kirkyard. The statement
which we once came upon In one OF
those cheap books or brief biographies
published in the early part of the
century to the effect that he could
touch his kneecsp with his fingers
while standing erect is much more
credible.
We have heard it said in the High
lands of Scotland that Rob Roy meas
ured three feet across the shoulders,
but this is not by any means in
credible. That his body, and especial
ly his lower limbs, were covered with
q thick fell of red hair, we can readi-
ly believe. Apparently ROB was q
good specimen of the rufous Caledo-
plans of Tacitus, who compared them
to the Germans, owing to their CONS
niexions, stature and large limbs, but
only in a general way. The type has
been identified by some anthropolo-
gists as the broad headed race of the
bronze age in this country. 1t is
type of great bodily strength, and
probably, also, Of mental force, and it
enters largely into the composition of
the modern Scot, who is union of
diverse racial elements,
Now and then one sees q tolorably
pure specimen of the type in Scotland
more especially In Perthshire and the
adjoining districts-that is to say, the
ancient Caledonia. With sandy or
red hair the SKIN Is remarkably white
almost milky, while the eyes are
large and often blue or preenish.

j. M. RObinson justice OF the peace,
notary public, memb of the County
Democratic Executive Committee and
one OF the best and jolliest citizens of
Blitchton, came very near losing one
oil his fine horses the other night. He
rode over to see neighbor on some
business. Upon returning home he
hitched his horse to the front gate,
intending to return soon and take
another ride. The evening being
cool he sat down before an old. fash
Toned fire and was soon engaged in
reading the last Free Press, which he
had just received. He did not think
TO return for mis- horse. So about 8,
O'Clock he took lock at Things
around the house to see if everything
was in order before retiring. At this
juncture he heard noise st the gate,
which he mistook for q burglar. He
returned, secured his gun, and,
walking back to the door, demanded
to know who was there. No response
was made, and he demand ed for the
third time to know who was there,
but upon receiving no reply, he blazed
away at the supposed burglar. Im.-
agine his surprise when ne went to,
the, gate and found that he had shot
his horse instead OF q burglar. Fortu.
nately, the gun was oaly loaded with.
small shot, and the animal was only
slightly wounded.

Indiscriminate Gush Is Not Permit

From the London Saturday Review.
The visitor must leave his tan in

If there are three kskemonos (pic-
