Statewide Importance was presented in
the house Of delegates yesterday, when
Mr.. Whitehead, of Norfolk, introduced
the Whitehead Gardner bills, which
provides general legalized primary
election law.
1t was referred To the committee ON
privileges and elections, and there will
be big fight, ii is anticipated, both in

house. Mr. Whitehead said:
81 believe that there should be n
legalized primary for the entire state.
ana that when primary elections are
held they should be held under the
general law or not at all. There are
upon the statute books many special
acts that, in my judgement are notworth
the paper they are written upon. No
committee should be allowed to add TO
or take from the legalized primary
plan.

The Dual Purpose Cow.

Professor Curtss OF Iowa created
quite a sensation ut the meeting OF the
Illinois Live Stock breeders nssocln-
tion by advocating the dual purpose
COW, saying that on the high priced
land of that state Il would not pay to
keep COWS for the sake OF n calf year
There were many dssentcrs, among
them some OF the greatest beefmnkers
OF the state. But we take IL that Pro
fcssor Curtiss had in mind the average
farmer. who must have COW that will
do more than raise calf, else he has
no dairy products either to use or TO
sell. So far as this class IL concerned
the professor IN right and his utter
ance is n timely warning against the
extremes In breeding practiccd today.
or rather against the dcslrnbillty OF
such breeding for the ordinary farmer
and stock raiser. Some cows are bred
To give milk so rich I'm solids that they
cannot raise their calves on Il. Some
are bred TO give so little milk that they
can hardly raise their own calves. Roth
extremes are useful i'm some places,
but not I'm the hands OF the farmer. A
good but not extremely large flow or
milk good calf to feed for beef and
good carcass when done producing
are not impossible I'm the same COW,
and they are the best combination yet
found for the general farmer, the man
who cannot keep different animals for
different purposes, but wants dairy
products aud beef tOo.-National Stock

The MistIetoe Legend.

Here is the real historic reason for
very pretty custom that should never
be allowed to die out. Ii is the good
old Christmas custom OF kissing a girl
when you catch her under the mistle-
toe Here is the legend:
"Balder, the Scandinavian god or
poetry and eloquence, was protected
from the violence OF his enemies by the
promise OF everything In earth, fire
and water not to harm him.
"The mistletoe only had not been
asked. and Loki, his enemy, discovered
this, got another man to shoot him
with an arrow formed OF IL. Then all
the gods and goddesses mourned griev-
ously, and at their urgent request
Balder was restored to life, because he
was greatly loved.
80 to the goddess of love the mistle-
toe was given to guard and keep, and
every one passing underneath the
bough she held kissed her as a sign
that henceforth the branch was an en-
biem not OF death, but OF love."-Kan-
sas City Independent. n

An Awful Crime.

A fearful crime was committed Thurs
day morning on the mountain be-
tween Pocahontas and Coopeis, near
the spot where Pete Spangler and his
gang were accused Of waylaying and
killing two men several years ago and
where other cold blooded murders have
been committed.
Harvey Williams, negro miner in
the employ Of the Mill Greek Coal and
Coke Company, and who lives at
Coopers, had spent the night and the
day previous at Pocahontas drinking,
and was returning to his home when
he met a thirteen-year-old white girl
named Jones and outraged her.
The little girl made her way TO her
home at Coopers and told Of the awful
treatment she had met with, and Of
ficers went after Williams whom they
found at work in his garden. He was
taken to Bramwell and lodged in Jail.
The little girl was considerably in
jured and is reported as being in a
serious condition.
The negro was married and lived
with his family within less that one
hundred yards Of the Jones home.
On Friday night after the arrest OF
Williams mob formed and attacked
the Bramwell Jail, and broke open the
Jail and after a diligent search found
that the negro had been slipped out
and taken to the Princeton Jail, which
Is much stronger. 1t is felt that there
will not be another attempt to lynch
the negro, it would be foolhardy to en-
deavor to take him from the Princeton
jail, which is one Of the strongest and
most substantial structures OF it's kind
in the state. Williams is a Tazewell
negro and has always borne a good
reputation.
