School Book Trouble.

There is trouble with the school
book merchants here as we'll as In
Richmond growing out no of distinct
understanding as to exchange of old
books. 1t is said that number of
country merchants have refused TO
take the old books and allow a dis
count for them in paying for new
ones. The trouble seems to have
grown out of the fact that no def
mite agreement Is understood between
the publishers and the Jobbers and
retailers. 1t is clear, however that
the patrons of schools are entitled
to get pay for their old books In ex-
change for new ones, and they should
insist upon it. If the merchant re-
fuses then report the matter to the
County Superintendent.
There has been published an an
thorized exchange price list, which
was supposed to have been placed
In the hands of the booksellers
throughout the country and county.
III somebody has blundered this is no
reason why the patrons OF the school
Should suffer. IL single list Of
xt-books had been adopted as near
ly the whole state wished done, this
and other troubles would not have
occurred. Let the patrons of the
schools contend for their rights. The
book merchants In town take all
books offered in exchange.

The Burke's Garden Trolley.

AT a rough guess the distance from
Tazewell to the o.d mill in Burke's
Garden, covered by the proposed
line is about IA miles. An ex-
perlenced railroad man, who knows
the ground, says that the grading for
the track can be readily done for
100000 per mile, and probably less.
At this rate it will be seen that the
road can be bnilt and equipped for
less than s lG0. 10000. In no section
In this country can the same length
OF road be built cheaper, and how
else will the great section Of Burke's
Garden and territory be brought in
touch with the outside world, or
brought TO its highest state of devel-
'opemept, financially and otherwisei

Whitaker Held for
VIVA. Authorities

William Whitaker, the slayer of
Noah Altizer, and who was himself
seriously shot by Glover Altizer, in a
shooting scrape on Wbitaker's Ridge
some time ago, must answer TO the
authorities in West Virginia for his
deed. r
He was arrested short time ago
and lodged In Jail here on q fugitive
warrant, as the killing occurred just
over the line IN West Virginia. His
trial came mp before Judge H, G..
Peery last Saturday, and he was re-
manded to Jail, awaiting the neces-
sary legal steps to take him on for
trial. Mr.. A. 8. Higgin botham ap-
peared for the Altizers and Judge s.
NJ. b. COuling, w. P. Payne and j..
p. Royall for Whitaker.
Geo. Stinso1 and Lee Whitaker,
who we're mixed up in the shooting,
Stinson being slightly wounded, are
still at large.
9 The evidence before Judge Peery
was somewhat conflicting. Strong
efforts will be made to prove that
Whitaker shot Altizer In self defence
while AltIzer was trying to stab him
with a knife.
Will Whitaker. it will be reca lied,
was seriously shot after killing Noah
Altizer, by Glover Altizer, relative
OF Noah's. as he, Whitaker, was run
ming away after the shooting, and
was confined to his bed for sometime,
and is still suffering from the wound
He was shot 10 The back.

The X. @. Chapman Millinery and
Dry Goods departments last week
biossomed out In the most brilliant ar
ray OF new and charming styles.
The millinery iD showing In coIors
the very newest shades.-Coq de Roche,
Onion. Burnt Tomato, Burnt Orange
Brown, from the deepest tints to the
delicate champagne color. Every; shade
OF Green, Rose and Raspberry Red.
Many of the new picture hats are OF
rather severe outline. The bloh
crowned hat In some OF the Gains
borough and Directoire styles have
been accepted beyond question as the
picture hat OF the season. These
shapes are large and long, rather than
broad. There is more q change IN
shapes than had been anticipated In
the beginning OF the season. Any
where from three to six inches Is the
height OF the new crown.
The turban shapes still hold their
own, and are OF immense variety. both
as to material and shape. There are
Ostrich plumes and more Ostrich
plumes, Ostrich plumes without end.
Paradise are also very much In vogue.
There is something to be said about
Ribbons. They are again the fore
as a trimming for Ronnet, Hat and
Gown. Fashion has decreed their
use. Milliner and Modiste are uniting
to give new expression to this essential
form OF trimming.
Want OF space forbids only a bare
mention OF the ready-made department
OF ladies suits, which Is the largest In
South West Virginia.

The Servant Question.

To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
Now that the summer is upon us the
annual exit of our negro population from
their working places has begun, aud on
all sides we hear the cry "no servants"
growing stronger every day. This year
the situation seems more exasperating
than usual, and as i, is one of annual
occurrence, it is high time that means
were adopted to remedy, or at least les
son, the evil. The city's annual appro-
priatiOn for the poor is now dispensed
by the Associated Charities, and CO.
operation on the part Of the Associated
Charities and the housewives of the city
who are compelled to bear the brunt If
the inconvenience caused by the ne.
groes' proverbially summer laziness
would soon effect 4 change in condi-
tions. Let the Associated CHARITIES
keep a black list and when a house
keeper is compelled to discharge a ser
want, or awakes some morning to find that
the "lady of the kitchen" has quit with
out given notice, let her send in the
name of the servant with a statement of
the facts in the case to the secretary.
The black list will work wonders, for
when in the winter the lazy, incompe-
tent and frequently impudent servant
applies to the Associated Charities for
all she can be met with the motto which
Capt John Smith adopted in early co.
lonial days, when confronted by similar
conditions, "Those who wont work shall
not eat" EMANON.

Narrow Escape from lightning

Cooperstown, n. Y, June 1l.-Mrs.
w. A. Renwick, Of Hartwick, was
struck by lightning Thursday evening
and lives to tell the story. In company
with her sister and two boys, she was
standing with a lighted lamp in her
hand in her home while a severe storm
was in progress. A terrific flash fol-
lowed by a ripping sound is all that any
of the party remember. When they
revived at the end OF about fifteen min.
utes none of the number was injured.
Examination showed that Mrs. Renwick
had had a remarkable escape. The
lightning had torn its way through the
gable, smashed the lamp chimney in her
hands and extinguishing the light, had
torn her shoe to shreds. Then having
PLAYED a few freaks with the furniture,
the bolt shattered the stove aud made
its exit through big hole in the floor.
Mrs. Renwick suffered no injury beyond
dull red bruise on her heel. The
same flash of lightning tore the clap
boards from one side of the house, and,
with several window frames, deposited
them in a tall tree at some distance FROM
the house.
