Oil City Derrick's Opinion of Smith.

There seems to be q disposition on
the part OF some Of the Indiana county
newspapers to insist upon the re-elec-
fion OF Hon. Summers NJ. Jack to Con-
gress from this district. We are in
cltDed to think that the newspapers agi-
tating the second term for Mr.. Jack are
doing so on their own hook as il is well
known that this is Jefferson cOunty's
term for Congressman and also that there
was an understanding that Indiana was
10 get the nomination for State Senator
and Jefferson county the district nomi-
nation, and it is the expectation of
the people that Hon. w. o. Smith will
b. given the nomination. As THE STAR
has always been strong supporter of
she friend OF our youth, Hon. w. O.
Smith, there is satisfaction in know
ing that there are others who agree
with us in regard to his ability. and we
clip the following from the Oil City
Derrick.
@'Hon. w. o. Smith, of PunXsutaw-
'ney, is the choice OF the Republ-
can voters of Jefferson county FOR
Representative in Congress. The
selection is most happy one. At
lhe primaries he received a total of
3332 to his opponents 1916. This, how
ever, fails to measure the popularity of
Editor Smith, who is one of the favored
as well as the favorite sons of Jefferson
county. Mr.. Smith has served four
sterms in the Legislature, and is one OF
the most thoroughly equipped men for
Congress in the State. He is quiet
and unassuming worker, whose voice is
never raised in noisy demonstration for
the purpose OF attracting attention or
exciting contention. When it speaks
he is forcible and to the point. He be-
lives in doing something all the time
that will rebound to the benefit OF the
constituents rather than spending un-
necessary time in useless and prolonged
debate. As the editor of the Punxsu-
tawney Spirit Mr. Smith has exerted a
wide influence for years, and his work
in the Legislature has stamped him as
a practical and valuable man in the con-
duct OF State affairs. His presence in
the halls OF Congress will be an honor
To the press of the country at large as
well rs credit to his native State. He
was one of the best Representatives
Jefferson county ever had in the Legis-
lature, and his district has done well In
placing him in the pathway of promo
tion and further honOrs."

Toll Roads Again.

Broad Creek, Va, Jan. oath, 1900.
Editor Virginian-Pllot
VIII you kindly allow me space to
answer Progress in the Forum of the
gath, and to report a meeting that was
held tonight at this place? A goodly
sum of money was pledged to be used
In any legitimate way to fight the toll
roads, and it was agreed that a meet
ing should be held regularly once a
week In furtherance OF that object.
conway" admitted that good roads
are OF very great Importance to any
county, but he denies that the toll road
IN question is a good one. And he
says. and stands ready to prove that
he has paid 81 man to let him drive
out in his field, over his crops. because
his horse could not draw his wagon on
the road. That he has done SO more
than once. and has been charged toll
on the same trips. So that the ques-
ton of good roads" is hardly Il fit
subject for discussion here. The best
road In Norfolk county is n free road.
Yes. L would keep them up by taxa
ton. There is no other proper way to
do 1t. pay taxes to keep up roads that
never see, much less use. Why, then.
| should not other people pay taxes to
keep up road that / do use? Sauce
for goose certainly ought to be sauce
for gander. Besides. this road is n main
artery for the county, and every
| man, woman and child is interested in
having 1t free.
| AS for clay roads, toll roads are to
| furnish good roads in bad weather.
But last winter during bad season
the shell toll road was said to have
been worse than any clay road in Prin-
| cess Anne county. Should the crusade
| against private corporate toll roads
| be successful, we will dispense with
| the toll. pay a little more taxes cheer
| fully, and have less mudholes, at n
| great deal less cost. Since roads are
for the use or the public. the expense
should be borne by the public, viz: by
the State. And since Conway" pays
county road bills, or tax, since State
and counties have kept and are now
| keeping good roads, why should II not
be done in this case?
| The county ought to pay "Onway's"
road bills, because the county levies n
tax on his forty acres and mule" with
which to make and keep roads in con-
dition. And it ought not TO pay his
feed bills nor furnish him forty acres
and a mule, because such things are
private property that the county has no
concern with except to tax 10 get
money to make good roads and other
public benefits.
! And now, il Progress will kindly
stop progressing like q crawfish, have
no doubt that after while he will
emerge into the broad open day, ana
be able to see that toll roads are n
relic of the dark ages; a thing to be
avoided like pestilencc, that every
citizen should do all he can honorably
to make thing of the past.

TRAlMs CRASH TOGETHER
MANY PASSENGERS MORE OR
LESS SEVERELY INJURED.
(By Telegraph to virginian- Pnot.)


Waycross, Ga, Jan. 25.-In a. dense
fog 1T T: 80 special
of the Plant System and freight
crashed together, head on, in the yards
here. The special had on board about
200 retail lumber dealers from Indiana,
who were enroute home from an ex-
cursion through South Georgia and
Florida.
Mr.. Davis, hardware dealer of
Wabash Ind, was caught as two cars
telescoped and both legs were crushed.
They will probably be amputated. He
may die.
Mrs. Smith. who held a baby in her
arms. suffered severe injury to one leg.
The child was unhurt.
Thirteen other passengers were more
or less severely bruised, but none
seriously.
The accident occurred within n few
yards of the Plant System Hospital,
and the wounded were immedia tely re-
moved there
Two cars were wrecked. Each train
was running slowly or there would
have been a horror. 1t appears there
was a misunderstanding of orders, as
the special, running as the second sec
ton of the regular train, was just
pulling into the yard as the freight at
tempted to pull out on the same track.
The fog was so dense that the engineers
could see only n few feet
