POPULIST FOR SECOND PLACE.
Many Virginia Democrats Seem to Favor
Such a Course.
Richmond. June 24.?All of the indica?
tions point to the fact that the Roanoke
convention will nominate a Populist for
Meutenant governor Senators Daniel and
Martin anil other prominent Democratic
managers favor this policy. It is under?
stood that a conference .of the Populist
leaders is to be held here Saturday, at
which tins and other phases of [the com?
ing campaign are to be discussed fully.
At a meeting of the Democrats in Char?
lotte county resolutions were adopted in?
dicating a desire that the Roanoke con?
vention shall select a Populist for the
second place on the State ticket. Mnj. R.
V. Gaines, of that county, was name'' as
Charlotte's preference for this honor.
Half a dozen other minus are also men?
tioned here in*the same connection.
The Democrats and Popul'sts in Meck?
lenburg have taken steps for a complete
fusion of their forces in this campaign.
This county is the home of Col. Thomas
Goode, who rau as a Populist candidate
for Congress four years ago, and who is
the leader of that party iu the Fourth
district. At a meeting of the Populist
nnd Democratic executive committees fu?
sion was determined upon. A call was

SOME OBSERVATIONS.
A Fine Example of Cheek Mixed
With Genius,
The colored hoy who goes around the
streets with a banjo and a companion
with a guitar as accompanist, is really a
genius. He can play the mouth harp as
well as he can the*banjo; he plays it up
side Jdown, sideways, crossways, length?
ways and with hlj nose. He puts a light?
ed cigar stump in his mouth lire eud fore
most and plays the harmonica until there
Is nothing left of the stump but a small
piece of ashes and'a mouth full of smoke.
With the banjo he can do anything. And
as for check, It would be hard to find a
comparison, though he is polite and al?
ways respectful. He has a way of drop?
ping in with his banjo under his arm, his
hat In hi& hand and the inevitable "Good
mornin,' Cap'n.' Did you send for mo?"
Then he will sit down und begin to tune
up. If you run him out it is all right; he
iroeaaway with the"Good)mornin,'Cap'n,'
"and the same look on his face as if I
had let him piny .his play and had paid
him for it. The other evouing*ho whs
called into the Ponce de Leon by a phono?
graph man and requested to play unto
the instrument. He started off with "All
de coons look a like to me," and wound
up with "Hot Time in Old Town To?
night.''' The reproduction was perfect,
but it was a treat to see the negro's face.
He stood for about three minutes w ith
mouth open and uot a muscle moving,
gathering up his belongings he departed
with "Good oveuin.' Cap'n:' lemmu do
dat over three times an she'll run
smoothe."
An observer has remarked that there is
enoueh old wire laying around loose on
the streets of Hoanoke to build a fence
around tho city or to make coops for all
the chickens whose wont it is to spend
what spare time they may have in some?
body else's yards reaping where they have
not sown and gathering of that which
they put not down. This may probably
be a little exaggerated, but it is true that
there is a great deal of old wire about the
streets. It trips you.tip and cuts your
feet when you walk and gets wrapped
arouud the carringe wheels when you
ride. To bicyclists it is as much a nuis?
ance as broken bottles, tacks and rough
crossings. It gets rusty and so much the
color of the roadway that it cannot read?
ily be seen, and what it does for a wheel
and often for the rider 'may be said, ex
cusing slang, "to be a plenty." There uro
all sorts of wire. Little,keen sharp, rusty
dirty wire, large vicious, snake-like,
mean wire, barb wire and lust of all tel?
ephone wire. The last mentioned is
mostly the clipping from the new tele?
phone wires, and should be removed. It
is dangerous to horses' feet and to bicy?
cles. There have been lots of wire null?
ing in our city?why [not attach sDine of
the best pullers to this branch of nuis?
ance abatement and see what they can do
with it.
We do not know whether we should
take unto ourse'f credit therefor or not,
but notwithstanding Franklin rqad is be?
ing fixed. Wo certa'idy had the honor of
cal'lng attention to Its very bad condition
and we wish to disclaim having had any
foreknowledge of these improvements.
This is said in self-defense,as certain evil
minded persons whose spleen and charity
do not balance, might say*tha* we found
out that the werk was going to abe done
and then recommended it in order to gain
credit for being of groat weight *in the
land.
The band concert aud entertainment at
Crystal Spring last evening furuiahed us
with an example ol how pleasant it
would be if we could have some such
placo to go on almost every hot, sultry
night. Crystal Spring is a beautiful
place for such things aud people would
appreciate having something out there to
amuse them lu the eveuings. The Roan
oke Light Tnfautry 'Band is a new organ?
ization, made up of mostly "young men
around the town. It is under the leader?
ship of Mr. K. B. Swortz, the cornetlst,
and to him is due the great improvement
aud progress the baud has made In the
short time he has had charge of It. The
music was very good, Indeed, ns was In
fact the rest of the programme.
"TRAMP."
Mr. Isaac Horuer, proprietor of the
Burton House, Burton, VY. Va,, and one
of the most widely known men in the
State was cured of rheumatism after
three years ol suffering. Ho says: "I have
not sufficient command of language to
convey any idea of what I suffered; my
physicians told me that nothing could be
doue for me and my friends were fully
convinced that nothing hut death would,
relieve me of my suffering. In .June,
1894, Mr. Evans, then salesman for the
Wheeling Drug Company, recommended
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. At this time
my foot and limb were swollen to more
than double their normal size and It
seemed to me my leg would burst, but
soon after I began using the Pain Balm
the swelling began to decrease, the paiu
to leave, aud now I consider that I am
entirely cured." For sale by H..C. Barnes,
"He puts up prescriptions."
