Judge Graham for Commissioner

The Tazewell Bar, and other friends
Of Judge S. G. Graham, are petitioning
Gov. Montague to appoint him as one
Of the three corporation commissioners
of the State. There is no man i'm the
State probably, better fitted in every
way for this responsible position than
Judge Graham. Besides his special
qualifications for the position the fact
that Judge Graham lives in a section
of the State which, more than any
other section, is developing rapidly i'm
railroad building, mining, etc, 1t is
thought, will command consideration
when the appointments are made.
Judge Graham's perfect familiarity
with every section of Southwest Virgil
mia and the peculiar needs of her peo-
pie, would make his appointment
eminently proper and unique.

n DIRTY Town"

A recent visitor TO our town said:
ITO have rs many nice people a:
Tazewell has it is the dirtiest town
ever saw"
This was. no doubt an ex-
aggeration. but the fact remains that
the streets of the town are i'm very
unsightly condition. The side streets.
almost without an exception, are over
grown with weeds During wet weather
ladies find it difficult to get along with
out becoming bedraggled bywet weeds
The city fathers will no doubt take the
matter up as soon as possible. IL has
been suggested that, unless the Council
can have the weeds and grass cut. the
COWS ought to be allowed 70 run at
large. The pasturage it better now in
the streets than in the fields.

WATER RIeAN uNv,orArE.

Springs ane Wef1s In Palestine Are
Protected by severe Laws.
Water Is the most precious thing In
Palestine. and the laws which protect
springs and wells are very severe.
Most OF the wells are artificial. Rich
men at very great expense have CHS
seed basins and reservoirs out of the
rocks to receive the dow from springs.
and in many places where no springs
could be found they have drilled
through the limestone a hundred feet
and sometimes twice that distance to
the artesian basin.
None but very rich sheiks can afford
such an expenditure. Nevertheless.
they have not only been the greatest
benefactors OF their fellow men, but
those who have sunk wells and built
fountains have erected monuments TO
their fame more enduring than palaces
or temples or shafts OF granite.
The temple Of Solomon has vanished
forever. but the pools which he walled
up with masonry and filled with water
still remain. The wells that Abraham
and Jacob drilled in the rock as acts
OF piety as well as power are as I'M
mortal as their names and will live for
ever as long as men feel thirst
According to a just custom OF the
country, water rights could never be
forfeited. No man who owned well
might refuse his neighbor water for
his family or his focks. but the lord
OF the spring was inviolate. No cred
ttor or enemy could take his water
rights away from him. To injure or
I'LL up a well was an objectionable
crime When the Philistines threw
earth and stones into the well Of Abra-
ham. they intended to challenge him
to a war OF determination. These GUS
toms and regulations remain today

The most important factor In the

pubhcans everywhere know that the

itself to put an end to monopolistic re-

had enough OF paying tribute to the
trusts In the shape OF higher prices

OF the accused came I'm and stood as n

The sheik accepted the bail and re-
leased him, but shortly afterward he
again resorted to his old practice OF
cutting the wires and bolted away to
another village at II distance OF a days

The sheik then sent for. hts first wife.

her he would disgrace her among the
