Dear SIR

Clean up the Town.

In the Citizens meeting, held
last Saturday, Col. May made a
strong speech in favor of improv-
ing the sanitary conditions of the
town special attention was called
to the. condition of the back street
from the Presbyterian church run
ming west. This street, owing to
its peculiar location and formation.
is nothing more nor less than a
reservoir for all the filth and sew
erage of the entire back streets.
Add to this the drainage from G..
Il. Surfaces stables and veral
hog pens, and the street becomes Il
menace to the health OF the town,
to say nothing of decencc.
1t has been pointed out by COL.
May and others, that at the lower
end of this basin there is cave,
or under ground drainage, which
Can be easily and with little cost,
opened up, which would receive
and carry of the drainage from
both sides of the street.
We have no hesitancy in saying
that, in our Judgment, money ex.
peended in improving the sanitary
conditions; not only of this, but of
other streets and portions of the
town will meet with the hearty
commentator and appr&wpf the
taxpayers.

The Election of Senator'S.

The movement now fairly on
foot to elect United States Sena-
tors by a direct vote Of the people
is one of the many reforms needed
In legislation. Senator Jones be
gan this fight in the Roanoke con.
vention, IN 1897, and though his
resolution was defeated therc, it
was clearly seen that the senti.
ment of that body of representa-
tive men of Virginia, was leaning
strongly in that direction.
Recent senatorial elections in
twelve states has clearly shown
the necessity of allowing the peo-
pie themselves to choose their SELF
atOrs.
An address has been issued to
the Democrats, and all others ia
vOring the movement, to meet in
Richmond, on the 18th of next
May, 10 take SUCH steps anu HDopt
such measures as will secure such
a result. Tho address is signed by
fifty of the leading men OF the
State.
We hope to sec the time and
that soon, when not only United
States Senators, but all public State
officers, as well, including county
Judges, superintendent of schools,
and all Otner state and county of
ices, shall be filled by the people,
and not 10y lobbyists and corpora
tions, through the State Lcgisla-
lures.

To the People.

This is the verdict's rede 10 you:
Draw your politics as YOU might a
sword, and throw away the Scab-
bard. Strike for All income tax
Strike for an inheritance taxi Strike
for levy on churchesl Strike for
the public ownership of franchises
Strike for the death of the trust !
Strike for the destruction of the
National bankl Strike for II live
and-let-live system Of honest cur
rency ank banking in its stead J
Strike fer the overthrow of Presi-
Dental patrona ge-that blight on
legislation-and strike TO fill all
offices, wherever possible, from the
ballot box! Strike for the popular
election of Senator's Strike against
"Expausionl' Strike against an
increase in the Army, to the end
that liberty multiply and flourish.
Strike to swell the Navy, that you
Their 10y win the respect of nations,
and because battleship is your
best ambassador! Strike to cut
down the tariff as the wall behind
which protection crouches to BUSH
whack the best wei fare of the peo-
pie. Tariff is Protection, and the
latter the seed of trusts-those
cOmbed and curried monsters of mo
nopoly. Protection is against c..-
merce, and commerce is the
life and reason of prosperity Sole
against protection then as against
original sin Strike for an 18th
main canal. Raleigh once said to
Queen Elizabeth: "Darien is the
key to the world" On Raleigh's
word with all the rest, then, strike
for a canal Strike for the initia-
tive and the referendum, Strike for
it first and strike for it last. 1t is
the blow royal, to bring down all the
rest.-The Verdict.

Creamery Butter, &c.

For some time our leading gro

have been selling butter from
creamery in Illinois. This is mise
butter, and sells for 25c. pound.
Now Tazewell is known as "A cattle

seem strange that we cannot IN 4Ee
butter enough for our own home

pie sold car loads of good milk
cows-a big mistake, we think-and
this season we are buying butter

that our people love to waste their
energies and their money. Every
year we fall short of making enough

You can't get a decent hoe or axe

be selling, producing, instead of
consuming. Good seed potatoes,
corn, wheat, oats, and even cabbage
and vegetables, must be ordered

The Nations Library.

They cali it the Library of Congress,
and the original plan was for II library
of reference for Senator'S and Repre-
sentatives. The plan b~roadened until
the library became a National, rather
than II Congressional library. Ut is
the attraction which draws to the capt.
tai every year hundreds of earnest stu.
dents and historians; and lit is il Of
The deciding causes in establishing
there many of the literary people who
make Washington their home.
When the new library building was
nearing completion il was planned to
have the books from the old library
rooms in the Capitol moved across the
plaza and put in tho new building
in the spring. The calling of the ex-
tra session of Congress interfered with
this plan. The books were needed for
reference by the members of Congress;
so it was deemed inexpedient to at
tempt the removal Of any but those of
remote interest until Congress had adj
journed. The old newspaper files will
be the first removed, and the books
will follow slowly. Two months will
be required for the work. The mum,
Der of books to be moved is create,
