SIDNEY.

Frank Battles of lizard county -,

out herd of swine.
]. Frank Wiles informs us that
he has secured the Cotton Hill
school for the summer.
James Arm and family of
Baxter county, are visiting rela-

week.
W. Edd Raglan says he has
been suffering intensely from an
abscess of the jaw, caused from
the extraction of a tooth.
Frank Wiles says it is true
that Dry Town has quarantined
against Sharp county, but he
holds life permit passable only
on Sundays.
G. F. Springer and family babe
relatives and friends a farewell
adieu last week. They are now
domiciled on the aired plains Of
the Lone Star state.
At this writing, we have two
months more Of public schoo,.
After Mr.. Founders leaves the
school will then be conducted by
Prof. and Mrs. Grisham.
Mr.. Gross, our city yarn tel
ler," has gone to Memphis for a
spell. We wish he would hurry
back, since the town is getting
very dry in that respect.
Hon. W. E. Founders will be-
gin his canvass soon. We feel
safe in saying there is no better
material in the field to represent
Sharp county than is the person
of Mr.. Founders.
Some of the boys say they had
rather spit rails este try i, to IS. :.
cure school. They have
searched Sharp county for the
same and returned without any
permanent effect.
Properly speaking the calendar
year is divided into four seasons,
Spring and Summer, Autumn
and Winter, but it appears to US
that there has been a slight
change. 1t seems as though
Winter and Spring have blended
together, since one day is freez-
ing and the next orn-growing
weather.
The people here are still guess
ing who Ignorance is, but they
have not spotted the right person
yet. Keep on guessing friends,
but say, don't get it into your
heads that we are not a friend to
everyone in Sidney. We are.
Our notes are written through
the kindest Of feeling to all.
The century question is holly
agitated here. There are seven
of Sidney's brave sons who, like
Hercules of old, have taken their
stand and almost defiantly con-
teLd that we are now living in the
Goth century. Give us your
views, Mr.. Editor in order that
the young "Corsicans" may be
checked in their speed.

Tazewell White Sulphur Springs

Tazewell White Sulphur Springs.
Within the last ten years even
Tazewell has enjoyed steady and
healthful growth along nearly all
lines. Our schools, churches, store
and dwelling houses have been great
ly improved and many of them entire
ly rebuilt, and our people, in many
ways, have enjoyed an up-lift, which
has placed us easily along side of
larger towns nearer the great centers.
1t is not too much to claim that
Tazewell and her people enjoy a
reputation abroad which is enviable.
However, there is still room for i'm
provement and growth. There are
other fields for Tazewell money and
love of luxury to occupy and devel-
op WITHIN easy reach. For years
before, and up to the close of the
war, the white Sulphur Springs"
about B miles west of town, was one
of the most frequented and popular
resorts in all this section. Convent
ent and tasty buildings occupied the
the grounds around the famous sui
phur spring, and every season they
we're filed with people from all the
surroundi G sections of the country.
Here was place of the resort of our
own people, which was at one time
within easy reach, and afforded every
facility for pleasure and recreation.
1t is just little rem Arkable that up
to this time no steps have been taken
to rebuild and reinstate this splendid
resort. We learn now, however,
that an effort will be made at once to
restore these springs and the grounds
to something Of their former condi.
ton. A number Of Tazewell gentle
men own the srpings with a numbe,
of acres of lard attached, and there
is strong desire amoug some ol
these gentlemen to rebuild, and it i.
be hoped that they will take steps al
once to put this desirable movement
| on foot

PORTO RICO LAW INVALID.

Judge Laubie Likens Our War or
Filipinos TO Britain's 8 on Beers.
Putin Bay, o, July 23-Judge p
A Lauble, OF Salem, o, who is q
Republican and President of the
Ohm State Bar Association, delivered d
an address at the meeting of the as.
sociation here On July 10 which has
caused a sensation throughout the
State.
He declared that the Porto Rican
tariff law was unconstitutional, and
compared the Philippine war with
that of England against the Beers,
saying they wore both carried on for
mercernary purposes-one for COM
mercial expansion under the guise of
benevolent assimilation, and the
other to steal gold and diamond
mines.
"1he Philippine question:" said
Judge Lauble. "is one of the most
II not the most, momentous ques-
tion this nation has ever been called
upon 20 face, the decision of which
involves the stability of its republi-
canism, IL not the very life of the
Radublic itself. Primarily the Fill
ipinos were treated as allies, Ad-
miral Dewey admitting it. And pow
to take this country by fore is moth
ing short of robbery. If we con.
tinue in our present attitude il may
be safely predicted that the whole
policy and system of our Govern
ment will be upset and reversed.
He deplored the act of the Gov
srnment in pensioning the polygA-
nous Sultan of Sulu and at the same
time shooting Christian Filipinos.
He declared it to be an outrage on
humanity.
He severely criticised the Govern
ment and the American missionary
societies for hypocrisy in attempt
ing to convert the Chinese.
Referring to the trusts, he said:
THE lust of wealth has become
Unsuitable throughout the Republic.
Money largely dominates all things
society, Church and Stat o, politics
legislatures and even the courts.
1t is the pole star of desire and the
acme of opportunity. 1t is the en-
emy of equality and liberty in man
and nation. 1t has destroyed re
publics ere now, and makes one
tremble for this one.
''The time is at hand when a halt
should be called in tfis onward and
destructiva march to the front as q
worldwide, military, colonial and
money seeking power. We should
take steps to stamp out the imperial
i'tic doctrine so extensively advocat.
ed throughout the nation. If the
country is to be saved, now is the
time to act"
Tremendous applause greeted
Judge Laubel at the close of his al
dress.
