Pressure on Roanoke Mayor.

Roanoke, Va, Dec. 2o.-In all
the churches of Roanoke yester-
day petitions were presented to
the congregations and literally
signed requesting the mayor of
Roanoke to enforce the law
against the social evil. This was
brought about by the fight now on
between the Roanoke Pastork'
Conference and Mayor Cutchin,
owing to his refusal to endeeyor
to enforce the law against houses
of i'll repute.
The movement may result in q
concerted request on the part of
the ministers of the city for inn
parchment proceedings against
the mayor.

Divorce Suits in BunCombe.

The Superior Court of Bun
combe county might be termed a
"court of divorces. At every
term of court for the trial of
civil cases a number of divorce
suits are instituted and tried and
with but a few exceptions a de-
cree granted severing the bonds
of matrimony.
Reference to the court records
for 1905 reveals the fact that
during the last eleven months,
20 divorces have been granted by
the Superior Court in Buncombe
county; six mistrials have been
recorded, while several suits are
on the docket for trial at the
present term of court.
The last North Carolina Gen.
eral Assembly drew more
stringent divorce law. This law
removed as cause abandonment,
which heretofore has been gen.
orally pleaded in divorce pro-
ceedings and WHICH it is declared,
had become a farcial aud absurd
cause.
During the discussion of the
divorce question in the State
Legislature last winter and when
it became known that the aban.
donment cause probably would be
eliminated, persons in Buncombe
county who contemplated sueing
for divorce hastily took advant.
age of the law and filed their
suits.
During one week eight suits fol
divorce we're filed in the Office OF
the court and IN every instance
the plea of abandonm mt was
made.

795. While there has been q
marked growth in the importa-
tions of hemp from the Philip
pine Islands, the growth in tho
other important articles thus far
imported from the Philippines,
sugar, has not been strongly
marked. The importations of
manila hemp have grown from Bt
million dollars value in 1897 to 10
million dollars for the ten months
of 1905, and will probably reach
fully IL millions in the full year.
Sugar importations from the Phil
ippines have seldom reached one
million dollars in any earlier year,
and in the present year will proba-
bly, be less than At millions, OF
less than 2 per cent. of the sugar
brought into the country during
the year. Present Indications
seem to justify the prediction that
the value of the sugar brought in.

with the present month will be
about 1850 million dollars, and of
that total the Philippines supply
little over two million dollars
worth. h.-Charlotte News.

The Weaver Pianos

Are made to occupy promi-
nent position among tho most
distinguished pianos now manu-
factured. 1t is bold to claim q
place in this exalted rank and to
sustain such q claim requires not
only skillfull mechanics and a
musical temperament in those
who have to do with the tone of
the piano, but the most strenuous
watchful care of the manufact-
urers in every detail of it's con-
struction. In short, every man
who is connected with the manu-
tacture of snch a piano must
work with his brains as we'll as
with hia hands, and both must be
directed by good conscience.
No expense dare be spared that
will add to the musical or artis-
tic value of the instrument or to
it's durability, and no money
must be. wasted in its construct
ION OF on useless attachments that
do not enhance the value of the
piano.
A Piano of this character is too
expensive for the promiscuous
buyer and must depend for it's
support upon the intelligent,
thoughtful and discriminating.
1t is the attention Of. such per-
sons that we ahall seek through
the columns of this paper during
the next few months.

STRUGGLE BEGINS AT MOSCOW.
Movement With Which to Break the;Govern-
ment's Back is Successfully Inaugurated.

St. Petersburg, Dec. 20.-6:80
p. m.-Reports received here from
Moscow late this afternoon indi-
cate that the strike was SUCCESS
fully inaugurated and is spreading
rapidly. Even the electric light
plants are closed. Governor Gem
eral Doubassoff has declared the
city to be in a partial state Of
sioge, which gives the civil au-
thoritles exceptional powers Of
arrest, etc. The next move will
be to declare a state of siege in
which the military supersedes
civil power. It is expected that
the Inauguration of the strike
here tomorrow will be followed by
similar measure, but if the
situation becomes worse as antici-
pated, martial law will be de-
cla-ed.
The railroad stations at St.
Petersburg were occupied by
troops this afternoon and the
government made an attempt.
with the aid of the railroad bat
tallions, to maintain some sort of
train service, especially to the
German frontier, and also to keep
open cable communication with
points abroad. The inhabitants
are hurried laying in supplies of
food as if to stand 3 siege.

at the Wiscassett mill and before
the water could be turned on it
had gotten such headway that
quite lot of cotton was burned
ard damage to the amount OF
about $40, 900 resulted. The great
est damage resulted from the
burning of the large belts from
the engine. One of these belts ls
4 feet wide and the cost is $16 0C
per running foot. The belts when
new cost something over Sc, 1000.
The mill necessarily had to shut
pown for few days, but the de-
spatch used III getting new belts
was something remarkable, since
they had to come from New York.
President Cannon took the matter
in hand and promptly located the
belts by wire, and had them
shipped at once. They reached
Albemarle Monday morning on a
special train and the mill was
ready for operation Tuesday
morning. The losses we're fully
covered by insurance, and the
adjusters were on the ground
Monday to reckon the loss.
A street fight occurred on Wis
casett Hill Sunday afternoon,
when Robert McAllister fred a
shot from q pistol which took
effect in the leg of J. G. Murray,
just above the knee. The wound
is not a serious one and the woun-
ded man is getting along we'll.
Facts are hard to secure, and un-
til the preliminary hearing this
evening before Esq. J. W. Bost-
ian, it is uncertain what the evil
dence Will bring forth. It seems
that a crowd of young men, many
of whom had been drinking, as
sembled on the Hill, and the
affair which ended 80 disastrously
started in jest. The real mo-
tive for the shot does not appear
unless it was simply the result of
a drunken quarrel. Unless as in
timated, there had previously
been a gambling scene, and the
quarrel followed as a sequel.
McAlllster was considerably
bruised up, and his friends say
that he fired the shot after two of
the other parties had jumped on
him. Murray's friends claim
that he was not connected with
the fight until after he was shot.
There is also a suggestion that
brass knucks were used. But
these are matters of evidence, and
the facts are not now plain.

The town was startled a few

III flames. Although the rain was
falling in torrents, several thous-
and people were soon on the
grounds, The fire company re-
sponded but was powerless to rem
der any aid, as the plant was out
side the corporation, and could
not be reached by the city water.
The factory had no means of it's
own of combating fire, and all
that could be done was to stand
by and regretfully see the proper
ty consumed. The company had
had recently made contract with
the town to extend its water to the
plant, but there was a delay in
putting in the pipes on account of
the size, and the work had not
been completed. The entire plant
and belongings, except the ware
house on the east side of the switch
containing the finished goods, was
totally destroyed. This included
the engine room. machinery room,
two dry kilns full of lumber, lum-
Der shed, storage room, etc. Over
250, 900 feet of lumber was burn
ed. The loss is fully $50, 900. The
insurance carried on the entire
plant was about $50, 900, but there
was about $40, 900 worth of finished
good not consumed. The insur-
ance on the part burned was a.
bout $4,000 There is no clue as
to how the fire originated. It was
discovered by the night watohman
IN the basement of the machinery
room, and was burning hriskly
then. He threw several buckets
OF water on it, but the smoke soon
80 nearly stif1ed him that he was
forced to withdraw. It is not i'm
probable that it was the work of
an incendiary, though there is no
evidence that this is true, The
buildings were all frame ones, and
these and the contents were of
such a character as to make it al
most impossible to extinguish
fire which had gained any head
way even if water facilities had
been ample.

The store of the Lexington
Mercantile Company, located in
the Western part of town, near
Wennonah cotton mills. was
found to be on fire Friday morn
ing between IL and o'clock and
the flames had gained such head
way when discovered that moth
ing whatever could be done to
save the building or stock, and
both were utterly consumed.
Owing to the heavy storm that
was ranging at the time, Tut few
people in the main part of town
heard the alarm and did not know
of the fire until some hours after
ward. Seeing that nothing could
be done to save the store, those
who reached the scene directed
their efforts toward saving other
buildings in the vicinity SO that
no further loss was sustained.
The store building was a one.
story frame house, owned by z,
M. Tussey, and there was $4Oo
insurance OH it. The stock of
goods was worth between $4,000
and $1,000 and the firm had just
opened it's Christmas goods. On
the stock there WAS 81 $50 insur-
anoe. The origin of the fire is un-
known. The Lexington Mercan-
