SOME FACTS

in regard to the construction of the
bridges across the Shenandoah river:
Without any desire TO appear con-
spicuous either as a newspaper CORE
spondent or an opponent of the Bridge
construction, vet l think it is the duty
Of someone TO lay the facts of the case
before the taxpayers Of the county. so
far as they have progressed up TO this
time, believing there are large number
of people who are not familiar with the
present status Of this bridge business
and the danger with which they are
threatened.
As Is well known, our Member of the
Legislature had bill passed appropri-
attn $4,000 to construct two bridges.
and authorizing the County To issue
bonds in that sum, and also to submit
that simple question TO the legal voters
of the county. \ false issue was made
up, in violation of the law. for the PEG
pie TO vote on; thar is tc say, the issuing
of bonds, free bridges, and toll bridges.

election valid another Act was passed

THE UNISON WEED.
Probably Il Legacy to Is From south
America or Asia.


Once upon time the name OF James
town must have been very sharply
shortened. Within the memory OF
many people now living James was
pronounced ''Jeems:" in fact. we be
heve that that was the accepted pro
nuneiation of our Nirginian forefa-
theirs. But Jim" must have been the
dimtnutive of 'JeemS." rs well as of
James; at least we judge so because
son weed really is the Jamestown
weed.
Nor is there any reason TO suppose
that this contraction was made ieer-
fngly or SneerinSly. More probably il
grew into use Jess So" and we find
intelligent Americans to whom il has
never occurred that there is any CON
nection whatever between Jamestown
and Unison. All the same. the au-
thoritieS say that "JimSon" is short
for the name Of the place where the
English made their first permanent set
Element in what is now the United
States and where the old Dominlon's
first capital was located.
The jimSon weed. however. is not a
native plant, but probably came 10 us
from South America or Asia. 1t is a
question how il got To jamestown. but
we believe it is conceded that il is not
indigenous 10 Virginia. IL il was de
liberately and deSignedly imported. il
must have been because of its medic
inal value; certainly tot for its odor,
which is vile; certainly not for its flow
ers and leaves, because they do not
compare in beauty with those OF scores
OF native plants. And. while this weed
Is now recognized as having some me-
dicinal value. it may not have had that
reputation then" with Europeans. The
Chinese. however. use IL to some ex-
tent incidentally and may have done
so from time immemorial. that country

Mr.. ClaSsett'S Important Work.

The Pittsburg Dispatch of De

Taylor, will leave Pittsburg next
week en- route for Dutch BOrneo
TO make an inspection of some ex-
tensive coal concessions belonging
to an English banking syndicate.
The property has already been in
spected by English engineers. and
they have reported upon it. but
the owners are anxious to have the
opinion of a Pittsburg engineer.
chiefly because PittSburg is the CEN
ter of the Pennsylvania coal belt.
The commission to visit Borneo
came to Mr.. Taylor through Julian
Kennedy, the well-known engin-
eer, who knows some of the En-
glish owners of the property. The
EngliShmen were anxious to have
Mr.. Taylor make the examination

could not spare the time. He ar
