The Merchant Tax And the In.
come Tax. to Be Enforced for
First Time

Under the law the merchants Of
the state, in addition to the regu-
lar license tax heretofore paid by
them, are required to pay county.
school and road taxes upon their
capital invested in business. Said
capital includes money, credits,
goods, wares and merchandise ON
hand. and all solvent bonds, &C
counts and claims made and con-
tracted in the year preceding the
lst day of February 1904. Here
tofore merchants have been paying
nothing for the support of county
government, schools and roads. Is
there any reason why they should
not?
A state tax of one per cent will
be charged on all individual incomes
in excess of 5000. In arriving at
this income the individual will
charge himself with all rents. sal
aries. interests, bonds and other
evidences of debt received during
the year, less the interest due and
paid during the year by the indiyid-
ual; the amount of sales of live
stock of all kinds, less the value
assessed thereon the previous year
by the commissioner of the revenue
for purposes of taxation; the
amount of sales of wood, butter,
hay and grain. and all other gains
and profits derived from any source
whatever. less the amount paid for
taxes, labor. fences, fertilizers, and
clover seed used upon his land, and
all losses sustained during the year
and but one deduction of 100000
shall be made upon the aggregate
income cf any one family.

tn School

There are many children in
school. who need glasses but not
wearing them. There is no time in life
when the eyes ought to receive such
careful attention as through school years.
The muscles are not fully develop
ed; gradual changes are taking
place in the cye-ball, and the work is
close and combining. If there is ten
dency to defective vision, it can be check
ed better at this time than any other.
Wearing glasses constantly in after life
may be avoided. If the child seems to
have difficulty in seeing the characters
upon the blackboard, or if he holds his
book too close or too far away, there is
a defect. iii seems to be an effort for
him to study; if he has headache great
deal if he is drowsy CT listless; if his
eyes are inhamed or irritated, he needs
glasses. The sooner the eyes have at.
tenton the better it will be for him all
tGrough life. See me about it.

Will BOwles Hang?

We have heard it discussed thai
the negro Bowles who killed fire
man Ruff, at Clifton Forge, and is
now held in Jail at Lynchburg, can
not be, under the law. found guilty
of murder in tie first degree, be-
cause ne committed the crime in
self defense.
1t may be true we do not say it
isl that young Ruff was advancing
on the negro with cudgel in
hand. for the purpose of making
him retract an ugly epithet appli-
ed by the negro, but is it true that
the negro tried in any way to
evade Ruff? Is it not true that
the negro instantly whipped out
his pistol and shot young Ruff,
whereupon the latter fell to the
ground and begged for mercy at
the hands of the black bruit? And
is it not true that at the PROSTATE
form of his victim, at his feet beg
ging for mercy, the negro directed
several more shots? Could these
last shots in anyway or any how
be considered as having been made
in self defense, and do they not
show the murderous intent Of the
murderer?
We would like to see the COM
plexion, inside and cut. of Vir-
ginia jury that would fail to find a
first degree verdict, under such cir
cumstances, and these are the re-
ported facts.

Conservative Democrats

You don't hardly have to call up
William Randolph Hearst on the
long distance telephone and say
Hello Willie. Would you be the
democratic candidate for president
if YOU had a chance? From the
way Willie is working it is thought
he would be if he had half chance.
And it is this keeping everlasting
busy that has scared the 50 called
conservative democrats silly and
caused the great Parker howl OF
the last few days.
Willie Hearst don't get behind
something and make goo goo eyes
at Lady Democracy, but he comes
square out and chucks her under
the chin, and the conservatives
hold up hands in holy horror and
yell-Judge Parker.
That this fondling Of her lady
ship has gone about far enough IS
evidenced by the fact that quite a
spirited Parker movement has
lately been set on foot by the
friends of the Judge, chief among
whom is Mr. August Belmont of
New York. He was chosen last
week to come down from New
York to the National Capitol and
be spokesman at the great center
of politics for Judge Parker, and
the good qualities of Parker must
be viewed by the country through
Mr. Belmont.
Then, who and what is Mr. Bel
mont?
He was one of /fhe chief boilers
in 1896 and 1900. lie supported
Palmer aud Buckner in the cam
paign of 1896 and voted for Nc
Kinley in 1900. In few words,
that is Mr. Belmont's political rec
ord of recent years, and so far as
it may be applied generally to the
conservative democratic element
the country can judge.
Now, can Mr. Belmont, the Park
err champion, get democrats to
thinking that voting for Palmer
in SO and Mckinley in 1900, car
ries any very decided havoring of
conservative democracy, and that
that is good and Sufficient reason
that Mr Hearst, just because he
says he wants the job of being
president, should not haye the
chance Of trying his hand?
If he can, how can he?
1t will be up to Judge Parker to
get scared when he reads this issue
of the Recorder.

This Winter And Last

When YOU nave light crop of
hay and the usual number of cattle
TO winter it requires considerable
faith to start in on tie )relief in
the old time saying that "if the
crop be light the winter will be
short, if it be abundant there will
be a winter to take it,"
This winter and last present
quite forcibly the correctness of
this proyerb.
Last winter Ga year ago. "a dry
season had cut the hay crop short,
50 short in fact that feeders were
scared before winter started. Mr.
John Trimble tells us that that
winter he commenced feeding his
cattle on the 22d day of December,
and turned out to grass again Oh
the goth Of March, making the
feeding period two days less than
three months.
This winter he started feeding
on the 18th day of November and
now it is the 10Th day OF April
and he is still forking out the hay.
We can safely say the feeding term
this winter will be full five
months, two months more than it
was last winter, and that is where
the great big hay crop of last sea-
son is going.
The earliest, and only sales of
cattle for fall delivery that we haye
heard of have been made by MIR.
