THE Chase City (va.) Progress, r
T. Beazley manager, has shown the
fraternity what local paper can dc
In the way of enterprise. Its July
9TH edition was ali industrial" issue.
The town and its business enter.
prises were shown up in great shape.
But what struck us more forcibly
than anything else was these words
from correspondent:
Editor Progress l desire to express
my appreciation of the celebration held
in your town on July 4th. There mus,
nave been approximately 5000 people
and spent most of the day in the crowd
aud not an unclean or profsne word did
hear. A better dressed, happier looking
and more orderly gathering it has never
been my pleasure TO see, and Judging
from appearances the day was pleasantly
spent by all. A total absence of drunken
rowdyism clearly and forcibly demon
stratedthe fact that freedom from saloons
tends to good order, peace and harmony,
and adds In every way to the enjoyment
OF a town and community"
A Fourth of July "blow out" by
5000 people and not an unclean or
prOfame word to be heardl This
seems phenomenal, but we believe
such exemplary gatherings can be had
mere, or at any place where temper
ance prevails. Temperance" means
good morals as we'll as abstinence
from drink; so blessed is the man or
place that is ruled by temperance.

JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS, who made
the splendid speech at st. Louis
answering Elihu Roots campaign
slogan at Chicago, has jumped into
popular favor as one of the strong
Democrats of the nation. And he is
a southerner, too-a congressman
from Mississippi and the leader of
the minority in Congress. Should
the Democrats capture the lower
House of Congress, of which there is
much likelihood, Mr.. Williams will

OF INTEREST TO FISHERMEN,

EDITOR VA. CITIZEN: / am re-
quested to answer some points
through the columns of the CITIZEN.
so please allow me space in your
paper which has always advocated
our common interests, In an effort to
answer different communications in
reference to the Chesapeake Bay
Fishermen's Protective Association.
Does the lay allow us to
fish in the York river? No, it does
not. The prohibitive line is from
Toues Marsh light thence to Guinea's
Marsh.
1t is the sense of our Association
that we respect the laws as they are
on our statute books. Permit me to
say to our fishermen, if they are
doing as is reported to me-fshing
IN forbidden waters, especially in the
York river-they are doing the in
dustry all injury. Why do / say so?
1t is future Legislation that our in
dustry has to depend on. If we bid
defiance to the laws that we now have
with what grace can we ask for
future Legislation in our behalf? II
would advise our fishermen to ex-
anime the law in reference to viola.
tons. They alone are responsible
for violations, not the owners. since
the law contemplates their arrest
and exempts the owners.
Permit me to say to the fishermen. |
as the head of our Association, that
hope our police force will enforce
the law In reference to the violations
In York river. Permit me again To
urge the fishermen to look well into
this matter, for what ia to their in.
terest is also for the interest of the
Association.
Mr.. Editor, allow me to saw in re.
'pect to several other commupica-
lions and queries that have received
hat l will consult our vice.presi.
lent and secretary and answer at an
'arly date. Respectfully,
GEO. p. SoUIREs.

HE sad statement comes that
two more of the Inflated Norge's
iIfe-bOats have drifted ashore. AT
Ter 20 days, it was needless to wire
that they were "empty." The word

aud to speculate if their once occu-
pants were tossed to a watery grave

hunger and thirst the last of the

A floating theater is at once unique and
attractive. Such an oddly exists. This
theater boat consists of an auditorium
which will seat l 900 guests, stage, dress
ing rooms and apartments for the various
actors. Last, but not least there is a
calliope which announces the approach Of
the boat. When the boat stops the gang
plank is thrown out and the crowds, which
have already bought tickets for the enter
tainment, rush aboard to select their seats.
The strange craft piles along the rivers of
Ohio, Mississippi, Illinois and Pennsyl-

Blackheads appear most frequently on
the nose, chin and cheeks. Ordinarily
they may be attributed to dyspepsia and
constipation causing general clogging of
the system The pores of the skin must
be kept open.
Blacllheads are made mp of collection of
free fat epitheial cells. sometimes hair

collection, which forms grub, there are
usually from one to five tiny grubs The

called, is not a worm at ALL

VIII be necessary to bring about cure.
The external first: With good camel's
hair brush apply warm water and any pure
soap to the face, paying special attention
to the affected parts. Rinse the face In
warm water. Then apply hot packs (towels
wrung out of hot water), making several
applications. After this treatment the
blacIheads can be removed. II is best to
use an instrument made for the purpose
as the watch key OF the finger nails are
likely to burst the walls of the sebaceous
glands, leaving a small scar A cold pack
following the removal of blackheads will
help TO contract the pores.
The following formula is beneficial for
local applications: r Ihymol. 10 grains:

THE UMATILLA rs
A HARD HITTER

The steamer Umatilla crashed into the
dock at the Tacoma smelter while trying ia
land, about u o'clock Saturday night. The
night was unusually dark and the steamer
did not slow up quick enough, and when
the dock came in view it was impossible
to stop the boat in time. Several piles
were broken off and some of the dock
timbers broken for about so feet. The
damage does not amount to much, how
ever, and will be easily repaired.
After taking on bullion at the smelter
the Umatilla left for Everett and other
Sound ports before leaving for San Fran
cisco.

TO TAKE UP A CARPET.

If carpet is to be removed from the
floor it should first be swept with damp,
stiff broom. The tacks should be re-
moved and the carpet doubled once across
the center. After it is thus folded the
back of the carpet should be swept with
the stiff broom and the carpet should be
again folded. This sweeping and folding
should be continued until the carpet is
folded into so small a space that it can
be carried into the open air for its beat
ing. After beating, the carpet should be
refolded and should be spread down over
the clean floor Just as it was taken up.
