THE BLAIR BILL. -Congressman George
G. Cabell will leave for Washington early
in December. Colonel Cabell is preparing
bill which he will substitute for the Blair
Educational Bill. 1t does not differ mate
rally from the Blair Bill. The bill makes
no change in the amount to be appropriated
to the several States but is formulatedso as to
harmonize the problem of States rights with
the rights of the national government.
Col. Cabell is thoroughly in accord with
the spirit of the Blair bill and had been Sc.
lected to present that measure to Congress.
if it had been reached on the calendar.
His bill is not intended in any way to antago-
nize the Blair bill, but to supplement it,

When you hear man sneering at the To-
cal papers because they are not as big, cheap
and newsy as the other papers, you can
safely bet that he does not squander his
wealth to assist in making them better, and
that generally the papers have done more
for him than he has for them. The man
who cannot see the benefit arising to town
from newspaper has not the sense of an
oyster, and he is about as much value to a
town as a delinquent ax-list.-Roanoke
