Use of Money IN Elections.

We are glad to see that some of
our articles along the line indicated
In this head, have attracted the atten.
ton of our contemporaries, and that
they are adding their voice ofprotest
to ours. 1t is humiliatiDg to confess,
but we must say there is no other
County in the State where Systematic
vote buying has reached the proper.
ton it has in Tazewell. If the teri
BILE evil could be corrected without
exposing theEskeleton in our closet
we would not whisper the terrible
truth, but it must be exposed to be
cured, What will our Eastern con-
tempoaries say when we confess that
well-to-do farmers white men-and
men who attend church and have
been considered respectable, make a
habit of selling their votes
1t is past belief, but it is a mourn.
full fact and there is no use hiding it.
The evil dates back to the Malone
era and is one of the evils ttundara
has left with us. 1t has grown how
ever with each year, and its terrible
faint reaches further and further with
each year. 1t corrupts not only the
voter but incidentily the man who
buys, and makes thieves and scoun
drels of many of the men who handle
the money. We are not prepared
to suggest remedy but it is our
duty to continue to call the attention
of our good people to the disgusting
fact and let them ponder it.

Why Is 1T 2

III appears from statistics that the
urban population of this country is
increasing much more rapidly
than the rural population. In 1890
the inhabitants of cities and towns
formed only three per cent of the
total population, and in 1890 nearly
thirty per cent. There must be
some general cause for the greater
increase of urban population. 1t
is partly explained iii the building
of railroads and the general use of
labor-saving machinery. Towns
ana cities spring up on the lines of
railroads, attracting population
from the surrounding rural dis
trlcts. Large manufacturing es.
adjustments, requiring thousands
OF employees, are either located in
existing cities, or they attract suf-
hclent population to create a new
city. Ii is notorious that since
the era of railroads began that
very little attention has been paid
to the public highways of the
country. In consequence of this
neglect the country roads have
grown steadily worse. This condi-
ton of things has magnified the
evils of rural isolation. The
farmer and his family are cut off
from society. Their school and
church privileges are curtailed. and
the difficulty of reaching the mar
ket with his produce is greater
than r. was sixty or seventy wears
ago. Add to ali this that man is
gregarlous animal, hat he loves
society and enjoys life more in
companionship with his fellow
creatures, than when compelled to
live year after year with no friends
but those of his immediate house
hold.
The drift of population from the
country to the city will continue
until conditions are changed; that
is to say until lOcOmOtion in the
country shall become pleasant and
easy at all seasons OF the wear.
That will be when the country dis
trIctS are gTid-ironed with smooth.
firm, macadamiZcd roads. Then
thousands Of people who now live
IN cities will find their way back
to the country, where they can live
in peace and tranquility in close
contact with nature, and yet not
OFT of touch with mankind

Harvest for the Workers.

The Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore American saws:
Now that President Mckinley
has appointed the director and the
assistant director the census,
the work viii be begun almost at
once. Mr.. Merriam, the director,
is here, and Mr.. Wines, the as
sistant, will be in Washington be-
fore the end of the week. MIR.
Merriam Is not a statIstician, but
is man off fine executive ability.
Mr.. Wines, bis assistant, is con-
ceded to be one of the best statis-
ticians in America. Mr.. Merriam
will organize the force that is to
take the new census, and Mr..
Wines will sec to it that census is
pOrperly taken.
The experiences of the last ceh.
suS has shown conclusively the
folly Of attempting too wide a
range of inquiry, the next census
has been by law Hunted to four
nqulrles--population, mortality
statistics, a report on the agri-
culture and a report on the manu-
features of the country.
Permission is vested il the di-
rector to institute, at his dlscre-
ton, to make special inquiries as
to the such statistics as of the be.
nal, reform and charitable institu-
tons, transportation and mines aud
mining. The work of organizing
the clerical force in Washington
will be begun about the .irst of
next month. The new bureau will
prove blessing to the Congress
men who have relatives or workers
who need "a job.

10 Our Eastern Subscribers

we have frequent complaints from
subscribers in the eastesn part Of the
County, that they do not get their
paper until Monday of each week
and sometimes not until Tuesday
We can explain this, the fault is not
IN this office. The Postal clerk will
not receive our papers going east on
Faiday, unless we succeed in GETTING
the entire issue in the Post office
here in time for the west boupd
tram, then our papers do not leave
tawn nutil Saturday. 1t seems that
Postal clerks make up certain mail
as they go West and send it back on
the east bonnd train, when tbev
meet some distance below Tazewer
Ii from any cause they fail to get
the mails ready for the east bound
the certain mail must lay over at
Norton until Monday. This EXPLAINS
why many people living in the
country do not get their papers for
three or four days after it is publish
cd. This is bad state of affairs
we have written to the Post office
Department to see what can he done
to remddy the matter.

nothing but right that the tax payers
should know how and where their

other supervisors should publish a
similar statement. But the state
ment of MIR. Burke is not satisfactory
because it dose not go far enough to
be of practical value. When he says
he spent certain amount on q Ger.
tain piece of road there is moth
ing to show how much road was
made, or whether any real good
was done or not. how much was
paid for labor &c, and it would not
be amiss to state OF the same time
the names of the parties employed
on the road. 1t seems to
me to me that if such a statement
could be made it would be more
satisfactory than the one that was
made.

The JeWelry Is Made

Providence, r. l., has the largest
silverware factory Elm the world, the
largest screw factory, the largest
mandatory for small tools and the
largest file works. Perhaps it is es-
pecially unique in producing more
jewelry than ANY other city in the
United States, and nearly as much as
all the rest of the country combined.
There 10 no city which possesses 90
many separate and distinct shops for
the manufacture of a single commo-
dity as Providence does for the man
ufacture of jewelry. There are At
least $50 separate factories devoted to
the making of gold, silver, rolled
plated, electroplated and brass
jewelry aud novelties. In addition,
the auxiliary industries for furnishing
supplies of special labor to the jewelry
factories number more than seventy
i've. Many of the jewelry shops are
small, employing only ten or dozen
hands, while some employ as high IS
300, and in one case 14OO. By the state
census of 1895 the capital invested In
this industry in Providence 10 S12,-
600. 90; average number Of hands en-
ployed 1000; annual wages paid SO, $780,
600; value OF material used SIS, 500, 600;
value of annual products 81, 00O, 900.
Had these figures been taken in 1889
they would have been at least 80 per
cent more. In almost every case the
shops have been started by poor men
with small capital, and as a result of
success there has arisen q large class
of well-to-do people, neither rich nor
poor. but prosperous and contented.-
