THE SILVER CRAZE"

The "silver crazs," which was once
dominant only in the South and West,
has reached the strongholds OF sound
money in the East, and is making
friends rapidly.

form adopted st Chicago, ia ex District
Attorney General James w. Ridgway,
OF Brooklyn, close political friend of
Mr.. Hill. Mr.. Ridgway's declaration

were able to release SIS, 900. 900 or the
precious metal from their vaults and
supply the same to the Government. to
prevent another bond issue, which they
feared might be fatal to them in this
campaign. One might ask why their
patriotism WAS not large enough to do
the same thing in time to prevent the
last bond issue, which increased our

THE NEW TELEPHONE EXCHANGE

AS will be seen from the notice pub
lished in yesterdays Times the move
ment to establish & telephone exchange
here at reduced rental rates. and with
all the latest improvements is making
progress. Over $50 phones have been
subscribed for, and enough names prom
ised to more than make up the requi-
site two hundred. A proposition has
also been made by the Interstate Tel
ephone and Telegraph Company, Of
Durham, n c.. to establish the ex-
change here, on guarantee of 200
phones, and furnish them to subscribers
az the rental rate of $40 per annum for
business houses, and $40 for residences,
which proposition the committee now
have under consideration, and the
chances are. II some important modid-
catione are N ade, thatit will be accepted.
This shows that where there iss will
there is way, and very clearly indi-
Gates that through the action OF ener-
getic and liberal-m inded citizens, way
has been opened for securing cheaper
telephone service TO the people Of Roa-
noke.
