and still believe was a personal right
that the Constitution could not take
away, and we are assured by Mr.. Wy
sor, who helped to frame the Constitu-
ton, that there is no provision in the
instrument which forbids the loan or
gift by one man to another man for the
purpose as above stated. But we have
never believed that any man has right
to go to treasurer's Office and make
list of delinquents and pay their poll
taxes, without any authority or money
being given by said delinquents. If
such an act is done by any citizen it is a
clear violation of the law.
The letter which Mr.. R. P. Barron,
treasurer of Wise county, recently adj
dressed to the public and published in
various newspapers, disclosed the fact
that about seventy-fve delinquent DEM
ocratic voters were listed in his Office at
Big Stone Gap and 'phoned to Wise,
where the poll taxes Of the delinquents
were paid by prominent Democrat to
the deputy treasurer of the county.
The letter of Mr.. Barron also discloses
such facts that it cannot be disputed
that the list of delinquents was made
and their poll taxes paid without any
authority or money being furnished by
the delinquents.
In the Abingdon Virginian of the oath
ult. we find it asserted editorially that:
"a day or so before the expiration of
the time for paying the poll tax as
prerequisite to voting in the next cleo
ton, two gentlemen, and by way OF
parenthesis we may add, of the Demo
cratic persuasion, went into the treas
urer's office at Lebanon, in Russell
county, and asked to be shown list Of
the voters who had not paid their poll
tax. After making thorough investi-
CATION one Of these gentlemen invested
the sum of SOAPS and received sixty
six poll tax tickets. The other gentle
man invested the sum of s64.78 and re-
ceived forty-one tax tickets"
The Virginian informs us that Henry
Routh, Commonwealth Attorney for
Russell county, has instituted a man.
damus proceeding before Judge Hutton,
the object of which proceeding is to re-
strain the treasurer of Russell county
from placing the names of the one hun
dred and seven men whose poll taxes
were paid as above stated on the list
which the treasurer is required to GER
tify to the clerk. The case is set for
hearing before Judge Hutton on the LIST
of June.
Of course our Democratic contempor-
aries will say they do not approve of
what their Democratic friends in Wise
and Russell have done; but there the
matter will end, as it always has when
Democratic crookedness was exposed.
We have no doubt that many more such
transactions as those enacted in Wise
and Russell have occurred in other
counties Of the State, but our Demo
cratic contemporaries will be reluctant
to hunt them up and expose them, They
will continue to seek for something
wrong that the Republicans are doing

Possess Many Gems.

Every year more precious stones are
bought by rich Indian princes. The ma
jority of these gems are presented by
the rajahs to the ladies Of their courts,
who take keen pleasure in possessing
pearls, diamonds, rubies, emeralds and
sapphires. Indian women have always
been fond Of precious stones, but the
present generation in this respect Guido
their elders.

Saying a Shade Tree.
Philadelphia Ledger.

Philadelphia Ledger.
The right of q fine shade tree to live
in Central Park, New York, has caused
quite controversy between the park
department and the department of
water supply, gas and electricity. The
latter had started to dig ditch for a
water main that would have destroyed
one of the finest naples in the park.
The park department protested and the
water men said that if the route of the
ditch were changed it would cost the
city $4,000. The park department rsv
piled that the maple was worth $4,000
and another route has been staked out.

The trade of tooth-stainer, followed
in eastern Asia, is as odd a calling as
any. The natives prefer black teeth to
the winter kind, and the tooth-stainer,
with little box of brushes and colorihg
matter, calls on his customers and
stains their teeth. The process is not
unlike that of backing a boot, for a
fine polish is given to the teeth. The
pigment is harmless.

The Ethics of Smoking.
ON a Letter to the New York Globe.

From a Letter to the New York Globe.
No one objects to the gentleman who
smokes. 1t is rowdy and hog who is
the nuisance. The "smart Aleek' who
is regardless of the rights of the woman,
into whose face he blows his smoke,
should be denounced by all decent men,
as our wives, daughters and mothers,
when alone, have no defense against
that hog, A woman gets into the smok-
ers' seat because she is nervously hur=
ried into the first seat that comes to
her. If she sits next to gentleman he
will not have to ask any one what ne
should do, if his smoke blows into her
face. Any old kind of cheap perfume
is nicer than an old pipe or cigarette
smoke blown through diseased nose.
The non-smoker should not have to look
out for the smoker. 1t is the smokers
place to see that he does not befoul the
air that others breathe,

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.
Arthur Minister Suffers from Gunshot
Wourds in Hand and Arm.

AS the result of accidental shooting.
Arthur Minister. young man still IN
the teens, the son of Harry Minister of
Augusta. formerly of this city, is suf-
fering from self-inf1icted wounds that
may cause the loss of u hand and per-
haps render the entire arm useless.
Arthur, who lives in this city and is
employed at the local factory of the
Cobbossee stream. yesterday. with 4
companion. on Il cunning expedition.
Arthur stepped from the canoe, and,
graSping the muzZle of shotgun.
started to drag the weapon toward him.
There was q deafcning report. and
when the smoke cleared it was seen
that the charge had torn through the
boys hand and that a number of shot
had entered the muscles of the upper
arm.
The pain from the wound was awful.
and with loss of blood made it impos-
sible for Arthur to help navigate the
canoe. His companion was able to do
little alone, and slow progress was be-
ing made toward home, when the canoe
was ovnrtakon by William Goodwin,
who was enjoying an outing with his
motor boat. Mr.. Goodwin was quick
to offer his services, and after the
wounded youth was transferred to the
motor era # no time was lost in coming
to the city.
When the party arrived at the New
Mills bridge. aid was sought at the
home of Homer r. Dill. Deputy En-
forCement Commissioner Clifford at
that time was visiting Mr.. Dill, to
whose house, fortunately for the in
