Roanoke Contributes About 1000 Year
to the Dead Letter Office
The unclaimed letters at the city
postoftice during the past year will num-
Der about 1000. About seventy. five are
received each week. These letters are
held two weeks after they are adver-
tised and three weeks after they are re-
ceived into the office before they are for.
warded to the dead letter Office. The
letters are from all sections OF the
globe, though the larger number are
from Virginia. Mr.. E. L. Stone, chief
clerk, further stated that . prominent
business man of the city mailed about
400 letters without his letter head on
the envelope, and out of that namber
about fifty were sent to the dead letter
office. large per cent. of these letters
are forwarded to the dead lotter office
for want of the proper address when
they are dropped in the office.

IMPROVING THE PLANT.
The Electric Light and Power Company
Preparing for Heavy Work.

Tho Electric Light and Power Company
Preparing for Heavy Work.
Manager Carr, of the Roanoke Elec
trio Light and Power Company, was
seen yesterday by TIMEs reporter and
questioned in regard to the new ma
cbinery aud electrical appliances or.
dered oy tho company. Mr. Carr said:
I'VE have ordered one 200 horse
power Macintosh & Seymour c1g CINE,
that will DO belted to two GO X. w.
Edsons machines, capable of producing
a current for 1900 incandescent lights
Also ono $50 horse power Arlington &
Sims engine, to DO used for tho street
railway work.
I'm addition to tho two 60 X VS.,
four arc light machines have been pur-
chased of the Thompson Houston make.
We also purchased 200 arc lamps, several
miles of wire and other appliances to
complete the plant. This material was
bought with the idea in view that the
increase OF population would demand it
in short time. When this machinery
is set UP it will give total capacity Of
200 arc and 5000 incandescent lights,
which is largely in excess of the present
demand.
ut is the intention of our company
to erect new power house in the
spring opposite the car sheds on Earnest
avenue, into which this new machinery
will be moved, and when everything is
complete feel that l can safely say wo
will have one OF the best and most
economical pl ants in the United States -"

Fighting for the Cigarette Trade

New YORK, Jan. 1O.-A lively fight
for control OF the cigarette trade is 60
ing on. The American Tobacco Com.
pany, known as the cigarette trust, and
the National Cigarette Company, new
concern, are chief combatants. It's al.
legged that all dealers had been com
PEELED to sign peculiar contract with
the trust not to sell the cigarettes of
any rival and to forfeit three months
profits on what had been sold il they
did. AS dealers sold on commission,
the trust holding the profits back for
that period, it could easily enforce
obedience,

Sleeping on a Full Stomach.

Man is the only animal that does not
sleep well after hearty eating. Feed a
dog or cat or any other animal as
much as it can eat, and it Immediately
goes to sleep and sleeps soundly until
It's meal is digcsted. Feed man all he
can eat, and, if he goes to sleep at all,
he rolls and losses and groans and yclls
and wakes up in the morning feeling as
though he had been passed through n
threshing machine. Yet this state OF
things is the result of habit. A baby
feeds and goes to sleep; SO do young
children and only in manhood is the
habit OF sleeping on an empty stomach
iirmlv fixed.
II is estimated that into the crater of
Alanna Loa, the greatest volcano in the
world, located on the island of IlawaiI,
the whole of New York city, below
Central Park, with al its big buildings,
could be dropped and still the iaass
would not fill up the hole,

NOT LONG ENOUGH IN TnE HARNESS

Nobody il 80 blind as he who refuses to see
ana il the blindness OF the editor OF THE TINES
was an anlicton OF providence he would have
our sincere sympathy. Jokes are good enough
for street corners, but to use them as argu-
mtnts is n confession of weakness. Why does
not the editor OF The TINES discuss tho quc.-
tions at issue in q manly way: BE has been on
skates long time, but why docs he lose his
dignity and and squirm soon ~ he Is ap-
proachcd:-Thc Evening World.
Whoa, now! Steady Stop bucking
Oh you will, will you? Now you've

Whoa. whoa! w h-oa, you darned
fool y! Thought you'd got away that
time, didn't you? Now, go along steady
little bit. There, th.t better.
There, now you're home-now eat
your oats and be quiet. Yes
sir, he's good 'un; little skittish
around the cars and apt to balk with
the ladies, but when he's been q little
longer in the harness he'll be as good
as any.

A BUILDING EDITION.

THE TINES ia now preparing a special
edition which will make every Roam
oker proud OF Roanoke. 1t will be
primarily a building edition. giving
full detailed statement of the phen-
omenal bull ling boom of 1892. This
will be given with all its rami6cations
and attendant circumstances. There
will be also synopses of previous years
growth and an exten sive forecast of the
development of 1923.
But an attempt to confne the edition
to these facts alone will be i'm
possible. The edition will tell Of
an unparalleled Industrial and CONNER
cial development. 1t will contain statis-
tical tables on many i'm portant matters
in Roanoke's progress. 1t will show
what the outside public and not few
Roanokers are unaware of-that the
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 citizens 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 uscle, 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.
TIE TIMES desires to call especial at
tention to this edition and desires the
cooperation of every citizen of Roanok o
in placing it in the hands of as many
people as possible. Every man who has
an interest in Roanoke must have it,
and every one who may be induced to
tlke an interest should have it.
