ARE YOU INSANE?
THIS IS A QUESTION THE CEN?
SUS PEOPLE WILL ASK.
CITY ENUMERATORS ANNOUNCED.
The Work Will Begin July ?-Soine el
the ?lucsfioiiH to be Ankcd-They H ill
Hardly be Answered. However.
The '!i ii Chosen Here.
Tht! census enumerators for Roan
oke have been appointed ami will
probably receive their credentials to?
day. Hon. Campbell Sleuip, the
census commissioner of this ( the lift h i
dist' ii-r, asked Postmaster A. S. As
berry to recconnuend live gentlemen
to ad as enumerators and he has re?
ported to Mr. Siemp tlif names of
Messrs. .1 II Danna, J. E. Tennyson,
J. P. Ward. Robert H opcroft and
Jacob Nobby.
The city has been divided into live
districts am! each man has been as?
signed a district in the order named.
Tin' First district is all that section ot
ihr city lying west of Jefferson street
to Third street, and from the Norfolk
ii nd Western railroad, south. The
Second district is west of Third street
ana south of the railroad. The Third
district lies west of Jefferson street
and north of the railroad, or the
northeastern section of tin- city The
Fourth disiriet is east oi' Jefferson
street and north of tin- railroad, in?
cluding East Roanoke. The Fifth
district embraces all that portion
lying east of Jefferson street and
south of the railroad, or southeast
Roanoke.
The enuuu rutors will begin work
as soon as their credentials arrive.
They have a job that is not particu?
larly pleasant. 1-iii then the ladies
who will have the bulk of the ques?
tions to answer will doubtless wish
that the census was taken every cen?
tury instead 4.1' each decade.
Every one should feel it his duty to
assist the enumerators in their work
by answering the questions that come
within the legitimate scope of gov?
ernment inquiry as promptly, plainly,
concisely, and satisfactorially us their
command of language permits. Tin
right to ask the greater part of the
questions is implied in tin- power to
make the enumeration for which the
Constitution provides. Few peoph
will oject to imparting to the Govern
inent, as a matter of favor, not of ob?
ligation, such information about per
centage, place of nativity, occupation
and education, as it may cherish a
harmless ambition to acquire.
When the enumerator comes to
Question 22, "Whethersuffering from
acut?- or chronic disease," and so
forth, maintain an impressive silence,
und keep it up until the end of the
schedule is reached. Then hid hnn
good-by as pleasantly as you bade
him good morning.
One full-week-remains before they
will start out on their rounds, in?
structed to pre.-.-, questions whi h up
self-respecting American can listen to
without indignation. There is time
fori lougress to call forn hah: and that
Senator or Representative who takes
up the matter boldly, energetically,
ami with the consciousness'that fie
-rands on solid ground ami will be
supported by public opinion, is Mire
to earn a very enviable reputation as
a defender of the people's constitu
t ional rights.
A COMMERCIAL CLUB

The need of a businessmen's (dub
of some kind has long been felt
Roanoke and the want is now in
fair way of being idled.
Yesterday the Commercial Club
was organizedjand the articles of in?
corporation will be placed on file this
morning. Tho following are the
charter members of this or?
ganization which promises to take a
permanent place in the business and
social life of the city: P. L. Terry,
Joseph H. Sands. James S. Simmons,
H. L. Trout, E. H. Stewart, J. M.
Gambill, Dr. Joseph A. Gale ami
Hi ii ion Helper.
T? Mr. Hinton Helper is due the
honor of lirst suggesting the organi?
zation, and his energy together with
that of his associates, will doubtless
bring the plan to a succesiful termi?
nation. The expressed object is to
form a permanent organization of
Roanoke's business with a purpose to
take aggressive action upon every
movement concerning the welfare ami
prosperity of the city. They will en?
courage and promote, in every way
possible, the commercial and manu?
facturing interests, and advertise to
the outside world the diversified and
splendid advantages offered by this
cityas a place for investment.
The members will ever be on the
alert to ascertain the needs of the city
and assist in removing imepediments
to its progress, and assisting in every
way to promote its interests.
The organization will immediately
begin the erection of a suitable build?
ing aud one that will reflect credit on
the city. It will be a place of resort
for the members and their friends,
and will doubtless be very popular.
The scheme of the Commercial Club
is no new one. It is similar to organi?
zations supported in almost every
progressive city in the country. Iii
Atlanta, Birmingham, Nashville, Au?
gusta and in hundreds of other cities
they are doing a great work in advanc?
ing the cities interests.

"1 would rather see the blackest
negro in the District in Congress than
a white Democrat."
These words were uttered last night
by James P. Brady, son of Collector
Brady, in the presence of Mr. Charles
R< >inaine.
The news of the seating of Langston
was being discussed when Mr. Brady
said: "1 would rather see the black?
est negro in the district in Congress
than a white Democrat." When Mr.
Romaine replied that he could expect
nothingelse of a man wit h such black
principles (or something to that ef?
fect), when Brady said it was ad?lie.
whereupon Mr Romaine straightened
out his right arm and Mr. Brady had
to j lick himself up.
The uncalled for declaration of
young Brady was much discussed
and much damaging critieL-m in
dulged in.
The parties were before the mayor
this morning, and his honor lined
Brady $2 and costs for using unbecom?

provoke others, and also lined Ro?

as-1 ^ew towns always have an attrac
"'tion for adventurers aud fakers, and
Roanoke is no exception to the gen?
eral rule.
There is a vacant lot, or several of |
them rather, on Salem avenue, just
east of Jefferson street, and here lias
congregated a collection of traveling
museums,fakers,merry-go-roundsand
other schemes to beguile the pennies
from the pockets of the men who does
not know any better.
The police lind a good deal of work j
to do in this vicinity. There is one
scheme that gives them not a little
trouble. This is a gambling trie]
pure and simple. There is an awn-I
ing spread over a dry-goods box, and
on the box rests a mechanical arrange?
ment in the shape of a miniature race
course. There are east iron horses
and a bit of mechanism under the
track which is wound up. Then each
better places a nickel on his favorite,
the Owner takes out one for his share,
the spring is pressed and the gayly
painted steeds go merrily round.
The winner gets the entire amount
of the proceeds, minus the five cents|
kept back by the dealer.
There is always a crowd of boot-1
blacks, newsboys and countrymen
about the tent, and the proprietor
does a flourishing business. It is as
much of a gambling device as is rou?
lette, keno and faro, and should not
be tolerated' Furthermore, it is in i
direct violation of the law, and the or-1
dinancesof the city expressly provides I
that "the police shall take* into cus-1
tody all persons keeping gaming or
disorderly houses."
Perhaps it would be well for Mayor I
Evans to take cognizance of thisestab-1
b'shment. It certainly is not calcu?
lated to improve the morals of the I
youth of Roanoke.
