THOMPSON VALLEY.

We are sorry to say all our schools
are out and all the old bachelors are
mourning.
Mr.. James Buchanan was absent
from home last Sunday. Wonder
where? MIR. Sam Thompson hts not
been seen since Xmas.
1t is reported that Mr.. William
Thompson was sick. We hope that
it is nothing more than love sick.
We had some very interesting en-.
tertainments this year.
Mr.. Bo Buchanan could not at.
tend the entertainments on account
OF his horse being lame.
Messrs Joseph and Samuel Neal
were in tho Valley last week. They
are off buying cattle now.
Miss Mabel Crabtree started the
18th to spend month or two with
relatives in Bland Co. We think her
attention is drawn to Poor Valley
as she took that route.
Our roads are improving since the
rain. We will soon have fine buggy
roads.
MIR. Newt Buchanan is walking
around with smile on his face a
yard long, He has lost his mustache.
MIR. j. N. Rhudy Is absent from
home. Wonder where. He WAS
seen in Thompson Valley Saturday,
but havn't found out where he spent
Sunday.
Mr.. ". 7. Crabtree and brother,
were in the Valley last week on bust
ness.
Most of the sick of the Valley are
improving. Mrs. Thompson Buch-
anan is sick.

coal MINERS STRIKE.
@any of the Miners Along
Toms Creek Quit Work.

The miners in the various collier.
les along Toms Greek on the Clincb
Valley Division have quit work. Yes
terday was the second day they have
been out. The trouble originated
over n reduction in the scale of pric-
es paid. 1t seems that on "the
creek" there have been two sizes of
cars used. For loading the large
size the rate paid was 9Ocents. and
for the small size rs cents. 1t was
proposed by all the companies some
time ago to reduce the rate from 80
cents to Is cents and from as to 65.
This cut was to go into effect at all
the mines by agreement, it is said,
OF the operators. but only the Sexton
Jones. and Dale Ridge companies
carried out the arrangement The
miners promptly quit and the other
companies continued to ship coal
paying the old rate. Finally, how.
ever, the miners went back to work
in these three operations at the new
scale of price. When the cut went
into effect on Friday last the miners
in the Coeburn, Lee. Swansea and
Pine Run collieries quit work. How
long they will be able to hold out is
mere matter of conjecture, but it
is thought some time will elapse be.
fore they will accept the new scale.

FROM all parts of the county
comes the cry that the roads are
almost impossible. This is a
question demanding our earnest
attention, and by some means the
roads should be built up and put
in first class condition. To accom-.
plisb this it will require money
and lots of it, but we believe, if as
sured the roads would he put in
first class condition, that the peo
pie of Tazewell, would not obiec,
to pay the slight increase of taxes
which would be necessary to &C
complish the above object.

Last nighl two coaches of men for
the collieries on Toms Creek, in The
Clinch Valley fields arrived in The
city on no. 8. A special was run
from here to Coeburn. last night, and
by this morning the new men are in
the field and work will probably be-

the lot, aud they were as sorry a lot
as ever passed through here. They
were from 16 to so years of age, and
were gathered up IN Lynchburg,

be trouble when these men attempt
to take the strikers places.

of the men tried to jump their con

first message to Congress last
Monday. The message was brief
aud consisted principally of Stats
tics showing the deficiency of rev.
enues and recommended the en-
actment of tariff law that would

Exports and Protection.

liz the face of what American ma
nufactures are doing in the way Of
sales i'll those countries whose ''pau
per labor" they are asking Congress
to protect them against, we fail to
see Row Mr.. McKinley's protective
policy is to raise the excess of reve
nue. he claims must come from i'm.
portation of foreign products.
The iron industry has been the
most persistent of all the manufac-
turers in petitioning for protection
from foreign competition. Bet when
we find these manufacturers supply
ing steele rails to the greatest rail
roud lines in England, competing
with English rails i'll the home mar
ket, when we see a number of yes.
sells loading steele rails and locomo.
tives ut PHILADELPHIA for tho Japa.
nese market, we cannot understand
how this protective tariff is to help
such American manufacturers.
1t has been but shore time since
Alabama made large sale of pig
iron to Japanese purchasers and it is
said that this order has been supple
mented by others.
1t is not that we have any hope
that the Republican party will not
carry out their policy OF protective
legislation, but that we are at loss
to understand how these tariff tink
ers expect to increase the custom
duties by placing high duty on
manufactured products when we can
ship on vessels we charter from En-.
gland and sell in English markets in
competition with these European
manufacturers with their cheap labor.
At this moment a great English
ship is being loaded at Philadelphia
with railroad equipments manufac-
tured in this country, to be shipped
to Toxic, japan, while several other
vessels have been chartered to ex.
port tie balance of the japanese or
der
1t is greatly to the disadvantage
of this country that our expectations
are shipped in foreign vessels. In
our opinion this same protective
policy has been the major cause OF
our failure to have a merchant ma.
rine that would be creditable and
profitable to this country,
When the Republican party Sc
cured the management of our gov.
ermental affairs, the Democrats left
them a merchant marine which car
ried the American flag all over the
world. Our shipping interests and
our sailors were pride to patriotic
Americans. After quarter of cen
fury of Republican protection, gu,
commerce is carried by ships of near
~ oil other nations in greater nun
Der than in American vessels. But
facts and examples do not count
when the people contend for theory
The people have been persuaded t.
try protective tariff of another -four
years. -Four years is but shor
time in the life of n government, ant
if it fails to prove the panacea fol
the ills of which the people complain
it is more than probable that tn,
Democratic party will again be re
stored to power, and it is to de hop
ed that Democrat will be selected

1t is easy enough to understand
why Republican politicians and bush
whackers generally do not favor a
constitutional convention for this
State. They want as many officers
rs possible in sight and do not care
how expen sive our system of gov.
eminent is as long us they imagine
there is chance to get some of the
swag. But why any intelligent
Democrat who pays taxes should ob.
ject is, to our mind. inexplicable. The
only reason yet adduced for not or.
deiing constitutional convention is
lear expressed that the people can
not be trusted in the matter. Very
we'll, If the people of Virginia take
that view of the proposition they
will vote against a convention.
Meanwhile, some method should be
devised to abolish the General AS

be trusted to u Ike n new constitu

now TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common water glass
with urine and let it stand twenty -four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates q
diseased condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.

Mr.. DINGLEY in commenting
on the new tariff bill claimed that
the bill would produce SIP, OOO,-
600 additional revenue. In ex
planning how this was to be done
lie shows the weakness of the
measure and its inability to raise
the revenue claimed for it. The
estimates made by the ways and
means committee were from the
Imports of 1896, when they were
greater than ever before, and to
produce the revenue claimed for
the bill the imports must equal Oh
exceed those of that year. Now,
we all know that the imports are
bound to fall off with additional
tariff taxes laid Oh them, and this
being the case we cannot see how
Mr.. Dingley or anyone else can
expect to realize enough revenue
to cover the deficiency now exist
ing in our revenues. 1t seems to
us the estimates should have been
based on the imports of the last
year of the Mckinley Bill, and if
that had been done, and they did
been able to so frame their bill as
to reach the same result they had
by basing their calculations on
last years imports, then there
would have been some hope of
providing against the deficiency.

of any value for the horses treated die Just
