Roanoke Letter.
An Interesting Letter From the Magic
City Recording the Happenings of
That Community.
Roanoke, Va, Sept. "A.

| GultOr UAZETTE:
Our city was shocked by the acct.
dental death OF S. A. Hall, of Franklin
county, who plunged to his death in
the falling elevator, at the place Of
Lowe & Boone, furniture dealers OF
this city. The accident occurred yes
terday at 1920 p. m. and was caused
by the slipping of the cable, causing
the car to drop about twelve feet. The
only witness Of the catastrophe, B. A.
Phelps, says that it all happened so
quickly that he could no. tell just how
it was done. He was the shipping
clerk, and was very popular with his
employers, who deeply deplore his ur-
timely deash.
On last Saturday evening the guests
at the Ponce de Leon Hotel were
shocked by the sudden death of Willis
G. CLARK, of Mobile. Ala. He arrived
on the 4;15 train from Blue Ridge
Springs, and after eating supper start
ed to his room, and shortly afterward
was found uncol scious in the hall not
far from his door. Ao diod half an
hour later. His death was c.., i by
apoplexy. He has o brother in New
York, also relatives in Mobile.
The pentscostal meetings in Salem
under the auspices Of the Virginia Holi
ness Association, are being largely at
tended, the street cars being so densely
packed that there is not room for even
one more. DR.. Fowler, Of Mass, DR..
Pepper, of PhiIa., and Clarence B.
Strouse,of Salem, ARE the chief speakers.
The music is under the direction of
Prof. W. Z. Burnett, whose sweet,
pathetic voice touches, charms, and
saddens all who hear him, and often
the penitent tear may be seen steal
down the cheek of some hardened,
worldly minded man or woman while
listening to che Ct his solos.
Miss Hettie Nc Cartney, of Le1iDg-
ton, who has elatives in this city, is
expected 10 pas through here this
afternoon, enroute to Allegheny Springs

A HIGH WAY OF COMMERCE.

The primative methods of trade an
travel, that followed along after tb
opening of our section of the Valley {
Virginia, came to halt as railroad
supplanted wagon and stage Transports
ton. The new styles by steam wer
excluded here but not from elsewhere
In this new dispensation a through
Valley solid line OF railroad carrying ,
premium to the treasury of the State
was offered but declined. Millions up.
on millions of dollars were expendto
by the State which looked to the build
ing of the Eastern marts of trade to the
neglect Of the natural advantages If
the Valley country. The long pause
between the time the Valley country
was doomed to wait was finally ended
when the shenandoah Valley started TO
build uniting in solid full line OF con-
nection between the country drained
by the Potomac and the distant South.
Nothing need be said now of the
mission of distant designs as the Shen-
andoah Valley caught up with the lead
ing lines, or was captured by the Nor
folk and Western road and thus all
consolidated into one Of great progress
and matchless improvement.
From Hagerstown, Maryland, to
Winston-Salem, North Carolina, three
hundred and sixty-two miles, the
Shenandoah division, day route of travel,
takes in the Valley of Virginia. The
vestibuled line and the daily mail lines
traverse the route diffusing pleasure
and interest to all the people with con-
veniences without number Hereafter
we may have something to note Of the |
room there is for improved mail con-
nect.on from the East to Basic. 1t is
now only intended to advert il glance |
at the daily charging commerce as it
rolls along the Shenandoah route be-
tween the North and the South
We adopt the railroad usage of con.
versation when we say "double headers"
that is, two engines leading the way in
pulling the long trains of cattle, sheep,
and hogs-Fruits and crops of the
Southern climes, and carloads of poul-
try assist In making up the cargoes
which will develop the facts now APP
parent in the exchange of products OF
different ATTITUDES. Our own we may
say is an iron country, but the transporta-
ton on this line calls to mind the say
ing OF the venerable and deceased states
man Of Pennsylvania who reminded his
countrymen that few years would !
show tho supremacy of the South in
the production of iron. The Shenan-
doah division is now strikingly point
ing the way to that end.
Here in Rockbridge we look out upon
this new and valued agency in our pro-
gress. We rejoice to learn of those
who have the daily opportunity of
testifying to it's achievements that it
furnishes constant theme for interest
and pleasure. Il
