Bryan said to the representative of the
Southern Associated Press tonight that
he had an easy day, and in leaving Ken
lucky he felt well and strong enough to
keep going for the rest of the campaign,
The train and the short time allowed
Mr.. Bryan here spoiled the preparations
for his reception tonight. He was placed
in a carriage with Senator Blackburn

erected. TO the people sta0ding in the
deep mud there he made short speech,

thusiasm. After referring to the inter-
est of the people standing in the rain to
hear a political speech Mr.. Bryan said

arts and to furnish enough for The Kelley
cure it did not leave enough for use as
money. The rest of his remarks were de-
voted to advocacy of the restoration of
silver by the side of gold.
On the way from Lexington to Mays
Vile Mr.. Bryan made a speech to a big
crowd of enthusiastic people at Carlisle,
and at other places along the route he
was cheered, but did not make any re-

Mr.. Bryan said he had nothing to say.
Mr.. Bryan returned to Lexington at 0:30

CHEAPER TELEPHONES NEEDED.

The TINES about year ago sgitated
the question OF cheaper telephones with
the result Of some reduction In the
rental OF those in use in this city.
Other cities in the STATE have worked
along she same limo with even better
success, notably among them being
Lynchbu:g where the Bell monopoly
only charged the people sig year for
phones, bothi in residences and busineBs
houses. When The TIMES stated twelve
months ago that in few years the rul-
ing rental p-ice Of phones would be one
dollar month the assertion WAS re-
ceived with ridicule. Yet, SEQ WIN st
LynchbuTg is doing, while here, In the
Magic City, that soulful" corporation
the Bell Telephone Company, charges
1856 per Rnnum for phones in residenc ca
and $40 for phones in business houses.
Why the people of Roanoke should be
content to be squeezed By the Bell
crowd without further protest is a
question THE TIMES cannot answer.
especially when, by concerted action on
their part, much more satisfactory
arrangements might be made. II

day evening and made night hideous
frem Q o'clock until after midnight,
Some Of the party went SO far as to
break window and thrust . chicken
into the house, while others went
into the cellar and created all the dis
turbance possible. An anvil was
planted at one corner Of the house
and repeatedly fired, and small fire
arms played prominent part in the
nocturnal serenade. While the boys,
no doubt, intended the affair as a
friendly greeting to the bride and
groom it was not so taken by the in
mates Of the house, and Mr.. Kohfeld
appeared at the door and fired two or
three shots in the air to brighten
them, but instead Of having the de-
sired effect, 1t only enraged them and
they we're reinforced by others and
