Wild Winds Work.

MOBILE, Ala, July Slater reports
10 The Register by wire say that the
wind at Pensacola at 11:30 q. m.,
reached 72 miles, then lulled and
shifted to the northwest and raised to
100 miles an hour. Nearly every bus.
iness house in Pensacola was unroofed
and the contents damaged. The Mer-
chants hotel, on Palfox street, and
the Methodist church were unroofed.
Some small houses were blown down,
and trees uprooted everywhere so that
the streets are impossible and last
night were in darkness. In the har-
Dor vessels dragged their anchors, and
were drawn-hither and thither against
wharves and other craft. The steam
ers kept away by using their steam.
The Swedish bark Svea and the Nor.
wegian bark Johan Ludwig and the
Italian brig Deadeni are ashore hard
and fast. The yacht Annie M. lies
one mile from shore in eighteen feet
of water. The tug Nellie Keyser is
sunk near her wharf. The damage in
the city is about 5000, 900 but no lives
were lost. The Louisville and Nash
vile railroad east to Jacksonville is
washed up in places. The nearest tel
egraph Office is Flomaton.

FOR CHEAPER PHONES.

business Mon Have Signed a Petition to
Discontinue Using the Bell 'Phones.
A petition, dated May IL, addressed
to the Southern Bell Telephone Com
pany, has recently been circulated
among the business men OF the city.
who are telephone subscribers, asking
for reduction in the rental price Of
phones. The petition has been signed
by 102 subscribers, and sets forth that
unless more favorable terms are secured
the use of the phones will be discon,
tinued on July 1.
The list OF signers embraces nearly
oil the business concerns of Roanoke
using telephones. They ask for re.
duction from the present rate OF $40 to
Sa4 per year in the business houses
This is fair price, being just double
what Ia paid for telephone service In
Lynchburg, and should the request be
granted 1t is believed that there will be
elarge increase In the number of
phones used In the city.
In fact petition Is already being
circulated among the business men who
are not using phones, and it ia believed,
being numerously signed, stating that
II the price Is reduced to S24 per wear
for business houses and SIS for resi- =
dencea that they will all become SUBJ
scribers at once.
The disposition Of the people Of the
city Is to use phones and only the
heavy charges have thus far proven ted
them from using them. Numerous
parties have stated that II the rental
price was reduced to something in the
bounds OF reason that they would pat
ronize the telephone company. 1t is be.
!ieved that the system would within
twenty days add NJ least 200 subacri bers
II the rate Is reduced to the amount
asked for in the two petitions.

pointed to examine into the actual con.

subject to the call of the committee.
Ii has been reported that the money
deposited in the bank on Friday and
Saturday, the 18th and 18th instsnts,
had been refunded to the depositors.
The report was investigated by . rep
resentative OF THE TIMES yesterday and
found to be incorrect. These deposits
are not included In the amount of cash
reported In the statement of the bank
omclels, but the money was laid aside,
and the officials are of the opinion that
1t should be returned. The trustee has
the matter under adviaement and will
do what he thinks Is best from q legal

Is not the case. The above class OF

A LIVELY FIGHT AMONG THE GRO
CERYMEN

Hunter & 90. Boycotted by the Re,a,
Grocers' Association of Roanoke-Tbex
State Their Case.
To the People Of Roanoke:
we presume you are lovers Of fsi,
plsy, respectors Of the rights of others.
therefore opposed to oppression and mar.
tioulnrly to combinations.
Inc retail Rrocers Of Roanoke have
tried 10 get US to sign an agreements to
ADVANCE our prices. but were refused,
ana tney are now attempting to boycott
that they would drive us out OF the
town. "a VIC
Their edict has gone forth that Hun
ter & 20. must go. And why? Simply
ana only because when we began busi..
ness mere we lowered the prices of
groceries to suit the present hard shines
and have been and are giving a dollnr's
worth OF good for one dollar, and In do
Ing This We have aroused the enmity OF
she Roanoke grocers and now they
threaten TO drive US out of town.
The animus Of this fight came from
our emphatic and positive refusal to
enter com inAtion to put up our
refusing to join this grooers' combina.
ton, then we are ready to abide she
consequences.
We have built up good business in
the short time we have been in Roanoke,
and solely for the reason that we have
been underselling other merchants.
We can do this because we sell for cash
and buy for cash, and can afford to sell
goods for less than the man who books
his sales. 1t Is equally hard on the
msn VINO mortgages himself in buying
on crealt, ror the man who has his pur-
cheses charged pays from go to so per
cent. more thsn the man who buvs And
pays cash. The difference in credit
prices ana cash prices will pay your
ta@es' Will pay your rent; in fact, will
In ZINE buy you home. We know
shis from past knowledge Of the credit
business. We know, too, that In order
TO 40 successful cash business we must
sell goods away down, and this we have
done, as may be atiested by the hum
dreds of good people who have kindly
given us trial and are now standing by
us as true friends.
We repeat that this declared boycott
OF US by the other grocerymen Is be-
cause we refused to 20 into q scheme to
raise our prices, II our refusal to iotn
that ombination WAS q crime we can
stand 1t, believing that the good people
OF this progressive city will stand by
us. We Will not permit ourselves to be
driven out OF Roanoke by the Retail
Grocers' Association or any other COM
bination as long "a our only offense ia
that we are selling groceries tou cheap.
We are here to stay.
Respectfully,
