Never since the organization of the
business College in Roanoke has such
busy scene been witnessed about the halls
and rooms OF this school us during the
past week. Students, old and young,
from farand near for ali the department
including preparatory and advanced En-
glisb, bookkeeping, shorthand and type
writing, were being arranged into classes
and put to work. The enrolment which
is more than double the number of the first
week last year, has been in progress the
entire time, but from the time chapel
opened Tuesday morning until Wednes-
day Mt = p. M, President cke le was
passing into classes those who came eager
to begin their work, and really not an
hour was lost by the students dnring this
time Besides Work was begun and
school was conducted in all the depart
ments the entire session each day, which
did not give time for those who came
from IL distance to become horiesck or
dissatisfied.
Many more students will enter during
the coming week, and if the starting pro-
greSs which has now begun keeps up the
statement, made by the orator. Col Geo

Academy July 30, when he stated that

brow of its president, Will soon reach 500

This school is locke d upon by some as
not being able to give more than IL mere
business education, but we are proud to
say that the written English work done
| during the past session was equal to other
schools and the same instruction received
was of eXcepticnable value. because of
tie written work done. No schooling,
unless in grent degree practical, counts
| for the public good of that done in n
practical way, and when parties who are
good students did such admirable work
during the past year and those who were
not such students before, worked in the

Business Men Still Contend That the
Outlook is Improving.

O"llook Is improving.
AS many people have favorably COM

leading citizens as to the business out
look, we feel constrained. to keep the
matter up. The thoughts of several
leading firms are appended below, all of
which makes interesting reading:
The Farmers Supply Company:
Our business, il anything, is better
than it was last year We think times
are getting better and money little
more plentiful. Our business in some
lines has not been so good this year rs

We have more inquiries than usual re-
garding the purchase of desirable real

this fall.'
Stone Printing and Manufacturing
Company: "Our business is rather

crowded with business and in others it is
more slack. The outlook, however, is
good and we expect better times.''
L. Il. Is. Hartsook, the reuter-: ''BusI-

is brighter"

AMERICAN GRAIN
Needed to Supply the Needs of
England

WASHINGTON, Sept. PA sum-
mary of the condition Of the Liverpool
market for breadstuffs is supplied the
state department by United States Con-
sui Boyle at that place. The imports
into Liverpool from this country will
probably be on a large scale for come
time, the estimate being $4,000 to 10000
quarters weekly for some months. The
demand for maize is large and the i'm
ports into Liverpool during the past year
surpassed all previous records. The
United States contributed more than two
thirds Of the whole. The coming year s
demand upon the United States is esti-
mated at $4,000 to $4,000 quarters weekly.
The Liverpool trade, the consul writes,
Is often much disappointed by the unre-
liable and uncertain character of the in
spection at certain American ports, and
especially the more southerly ports, and
also by heavy shortages, amounting at
times to as much as to per cent in con-
Ggnments of grain.

PARTY NAMES
Nebraska Politicians Will Appeal to
the Courts

LINCOLN. Neb., Sept. 27.-Some in
teresting litigation is growing out of
the peculiar state Of politics in Ne
braska. The Gold Democrats have
filed a protest with the Secretary of
State against the Silver Republicans
being designated in the ticket under
that rame. They state that new cleo
tion laws of the State prevent any new
party taking the name or any part Of a
name of political organization already
in existence.
In reply tomorrow the Silver Republi-
cans will begin by admitting the cor
rectness Of the Gold Republicans in
depreciation of the law, but will main
tain that the Republicans are the usur-
pers and should be enjoined from using
the title Republican party" and in sup
port Of their position they will quote
from number of State platforms of
the party in which common use of both
gold and silver is declared to be the car
diral principle of the Republican party
and in which the free coinage Of silver
is supported.
1t is thought probable that the mat
ter will reach national proportions be-
fore 1t is settled.
