THE SCHOOL PROPOSITION.

The suggestion of our correspondent.
in last issue, that money be put into IA
school at this place, has attracted at
tention, and it is hoped will bring prac-
teal results. Owing to cur geogra-
phical situation and other natural con-
ditions, TaZewell is well situated for
a school better perhaps, than for
almost any thing else that can be sug-
gested at this time The nucleus OF a
good Business College is already here,
and the expenditure OF few thousand
dollars would add facilities for a
good literary school of higher grade in
connection, and if under the control
and leadership of the proper parties
would be a success from the start.
The financial benefit to the town
figures out something like this: Say
that the two schools combined brought
only 100 pupils to town, land this is a
reasonable estimate) each pupil would
expend, during the year, say $3.50. 90
This would mean SO 100000, and near.
ly, if not all, of this neat little amount
would be spent right here in town. Ii
addition 1t Is a good thing to have these
young people, with their teachers
among us. They buy our goods, hell
in our Sunday schools and churches
ride-on our street cars, and in various
ways help the social life OF the com
munity. We understand that Mr.. A
j. May, Jr, who owns the TaZewel

share of stock in such an enterpris,

feeling-Mr. Williams has justified his
selection. He has understood where It
was best to strike and what rocks to
avoid. He saw that Panama move
ment would succeed, that the public
imagination and approval were inn
pressed by the Presidents vigorous
and decisive action, and that it would
be a mistake to antagonize it's consum-
nation. He said enough in criticism OF
the steps to assert Democratic position,
but he waged no futile war against the
result, and this showed himself wiser
than the Senate Democratic leader

agement.
1t is gratifying to note that it is the
South which furnishes this competent
and temperate leader of his party. His
acceptance i'm that relation serves to in-
dictate that the South is resuming her
old practice of sending able men to
Congress and that any prejudice
against that section is passing away.
This is welcome for, whatever may be
the political differences, all patriotic
minds must desire to see sectional
feeling obliterated.

A DAIRY IN TAZEWELL.

The time is not far off when a dairy
will be n necessity in this community.
The question of pasturage for COWS has
already become a troublesome one.
and is becoming more so every year.
The closing of the large boundary
recently purchased by Buston & Sons,
heretofore accommodated nearly all
the town cows. Now COWS must be
driven long distances and kept up at
night. A number Of PEOPLE have sold
their cows, and others will do the
same. Why not some of our young
men, who have the facilities, establish
a dairy to supply this town with milk
and butter? Such thing must 1t
done sooner or later.

WHO CAN AND HOW TO REGISTER.

The impression with some is that all
that is required of any person 10 regis
ter, is to have paid the proper poll tax.
In addition to the residence, age and
poll tax qualifications, the applicant
must comply with the following:
"That, unless physically unable, he
must make application to register IN
his own hand writing, without aid,
suggestion, or memorandum, i'm the
presence OF the registration officers
stating therein his name, age. date and
place Of birth, residence and occupation
at the time and for the two years next
preceding, and whether he has pre-
viously voted, and, if so, the State,
county and precinct in which he voted
last" and,
"That, he answer on oath any and
all questions affecting his qualifications
as an elector, submitted to him by the
officers OF registration. which questions,
and his answers thereto, shall be re-
duced to writing, certified by the said
officers, and preserved as part OF their
official records"
From the above taken from the New
Constitution, it will be seen that IA great
deal more than the payment of poll
taxes is required to register.
After exhibiting the required poll
tax receipt TO the Registrar, the Re
gistrar will lay the above second sec
ton before the applicant, with paper,
pen and ink, and he must do the rest.
If he can fully comply with this sec
ton and all other requirements he can
register, otherwise he cannot One
single provision alone will not admit Of
registration since January LIST, 1904,
which governs from now on.

Mr.. Barnes was an honored and

the satisfaction of his constituents and
with honor to himself.
For number of years past his de-
clining health, due to his advanced

preventing him from mingling with his
fellow men, but he was not forgotten
by them, but was held in high esteem
and respected by all to the last. He
came to his grave in full age, "like as

His last hours were peaceful. The

and 20 his couch-so softly that even

of the latch nor his muffled tread.
