The Bank That Pays Interest.

1t is interesting to note the progress
Of the banking business Of this county.
The American National Bank, recently
organized in Graham, has been granted
its charter by the government and
commenced business. One of the most
interesting features of this institution
is the Savings Department, where you
can deposit your money and receive
three per cent, interest on it, this being
the only bank in the county that pays
interest. An account may be started
with them by sending check, money
order or registered letter, the receipt
of which will be promptly acknowledge
ed. This bank is in every sense OF
the word PeOples's Bank, being own
ed and operated by the people and for
the people, having many stockholders,
and each owning only Il small amount.
You are invited TO visit them when you
are in Graham.

We have been asked how the Treas
urer Of Tazewell received poll tax in
regard 10 the constitutional require
ment, personal pay etc. We under
stand that Mr.. Britain allowed any
one TO pay another's poll tax if the
payee said the voters tax he proposed
to pay, told him to pay it, and that it
was his money he was paying it with.
This might be considered a kind of
an india rubber personality, and again
it might be all right. We heard last
year that one Of his deputies refused
to take money from the Republicans
that was put In his hands to pay off
taxes with, and several got left on this
account. This year they were, per
haps, paid I'm another form that reach
ed the spot.

Trees Tint Whfstle.

The musical or whistling tree is
found I'm the West Indian islands, In
Nubia and the Sudan. 1t has a pecul-
lar shaped leaf and pods with a split
or open edge. The wind passing
through these sends out the sound
which gives the tree its peculiar name
In Barbados there is a valley filed
with these trees. and when the trade
winds blow across the islands q con-
slant moaning. deep toned whistle is
heard from II, which In the still hours
Of the night has n weird and unpleas-
ant effect. \ species OF acacia which
grows very abundantly In the Sudan
is also called the whIstling tree by the
natives. Its shoots are frequently by
the agency OF the larvae OF Insects dis
torted In shape and swollen to glob-

In diameter. After the insect has
merged from n circular hole In the side

PLEASE TAKE NorICE.-we cannot pub
A Candid Republican Paper.

IF my friend says TO me, Il want to
borrow S1.5S to pay my poll tax and
will hand it back as soon as conven-
lent there Is no moral wrong in the
transaction than If the money had been
borrowed TO pay the preacher. Even
i'll have some doubt whether my friend
would ever repay me still it would be
strictly my business and my loss and n
matter about which people have no
need to concern themselves. But il
Is the intent that makes the crime, and
when strikers go among the hedges
and highways seeking investments of
the kind, a different question Is presen-
ted. Deliberately they go about a clear
violation of the spirit and intent Of the
Barksdale election law, and in so far as
the Republicans have done this thing
they have gone rough shOd over the
statute. The spirit and intent of a
law is its highest if not its only element
and he who can trample it under foot
without doing violence to the letter Of
the law is dOubly guilty.
GAS an individual and as an editor
we denounce this wholesale premedi-
tated payment Of the poll tax, 10y what
ever party engaged in it, rs an open
and fragrant violation Of the law, wrong
in morals, vicious i'm tendencies and
degrading and debasing in effect and
influence. We cannot have honest
elections so long as these methods are
countenanced and we stand fat footed
by the News Leader in the ceaseless
and relentless war 10 wipe them from
the face Of the earth
The above is taken from the "Abing-
don Virginia" Republican paper OF
this district. II is a candid. fearless
manly utterance. 1t will do good. l.,
is in harmony with what the entire
Democratic press OF the State has been
advocating. 1t is what every man
that desires honest elections should adj
vocate, and will have to, or he branded
as a corruptionist i'm elections hereafter
Law breakers must suffer the penalty.
This is the first Republican paper e
speak for purity, most have remained
silent, while one has feebly tried to de
fend paying anotheI's taxes. May
these tardy sinners receive light t.
see the truth and confess it, even il
Boss Slemp persists in his defence of
their course.

Letter to Q. w. Doak.
farewell, Va.

Dear Sir: But few of the men who
sell the hundred different paints i'm the
market know much about them. All
Devoe agents have state chemist :
certificate telling just what it's made
Of; they know a good deal, not only
about Devoc but the rest; we see that
they do. We buy every paint, that
has any sale, and analyze it. Our
agent finds out all about it,
When we know what paint is made
Of, we know how it will act; We know
how far it goes, and how long it wears.
Devoe is the standard; call it 100
The best of the rest is about 10; the
worst about %; the rest are between.
But the men, who sell them. don't
know any better. They know what
the maker tells them. That is: they
know that he tells them. They don't
know whether he tells them the truth
or not.
The business is not conducted on
knowledge; the less they know. the
more comfortable they are.
Yours truly
f. w. DEvoE & Co.

Not Denied.

We have seen nothing in a single
Republican paper denying or denounc-
ing the acts of the Treasurer of Wise
County, who is Slemp's creature in
leaving his office at Big Stone Gap, on
the last day that poll taxes could be
paid, and could not be found any
where. After promising Democ-
rats he would be there to receive tax,
and many were there fer the purpose,
60 had to phone to Court House late
in the evening in order to save their
votes, and perhaps others were left.
1t is said he had secured the noun
tains previously and had every republi-
can paid and hal a man employed for
month to work up voters. The reason
Is obvious why he did not want to be
present-didn't want any more Dem
ocrats to pay. II this is not a cause
for removal from office, then there is
no use trying to restrict officers. Bet.
ter do away with the law. 1t is said
it was believed, if left to the Treasurer
that he would not have acted this way
but was compelled to do 80 by his Re
publican leaders. So much the wors,
for him. Who is responsible for this
corrupt act? He lives at the home O
the Slemp's.

DR.. JnO. E JacksOn's Splendid New
Residence.


1t is said by several good judges of
such matters in this town, that DR..
Jackson, for the amount of money ex-
pended has decidedly the best resi-
dence in town, location and everything
taken into consideration.
The location is truly admirable and
almost Ideal, certainly, for residence
SO n, ar main street where room is
scarce, DR.. Jackson is finely located
The residence, which is completed ex-
cept the plumbing, is situated on a
corner lot, with ample ground in front
and rear, shaded by large ancestral
trees. On the lower or Eastern end
and side there is "A large lot, and n
number Of good fruit trees. Looking
East the view is one Of the most rest
ful and beautiful 10 be seen. East
River, Rich, aud the Bucl1horn noun
tlins are in plain view Rich valleys
and hills intervene, and the scene alto
gethcr is pleasing. An equally bcauti.
rul landscape is To he seen looking
West and North.
The residence itself is not only COW
and inviting. but presents an imposing
appearance, with its wide windows
ampl" porchrs and large airy halls and
rooms. The house is really four stories
high-having a large basement. and a
half story, both OF which can be fitted
up easily with number of convenient
rooms. There are ten nice living
rooms on the two main floors five
on each floor. The two large front
rooms have circular, or rather rectan.
gular bay windows, and all the light
and sunshine needed or desired. Every
room in the house is an outside room
with high ceiling and an unusual a.
mount Of light. Inside, the rooms and
halls are finished in chestnut and oak.
The nantes, CRATES and hearths are of
modern shape and make, and the
thing in the hearths is beautiful. There
is now being put in hot and cold water
for the bathrooms and also for each
room, and electric lights will be put in
later. Altogether, this is a nice modem
up-to-date residence, and is a credit tc
the town.
Due praise should be given Mr.. W.
p. Barnett, the builder. He has done
his work We'll. No part Of it was
sighted or overlooked, and it stands
in conspicuous place as a splendid
advertisement, and lasting testimony
to his skill and faithfulness.

PERIL IN THE HAND-SHAKE.

Not long ago DR.. ]. n. Hirsch, of Chicago,
said: The most delicate perfume upon the

and the most refined are not free from dis
ease Of lungs or throat, and the germs are
rapidly spread by touching the hand that
has haudled the handkerchief Of one affiict-
ed with a cold, cstarrh OF consumption.
The breath one inhalss from the lungs of
another may contain germs Of disease" You

consumption, but many thousands Of cases
have been known where persons who were
suffering from inoipient phthisis, or the
early stages Of consumption were absolutely
cured by DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis

by enabling him to eat, retain, digest and
assiniilate food. II overcomes the gastric
irritability and symptoms of indigestion,
and thus the person Is saved from those
symptoms Of fever, night-sweats, headache,
etc, which are so common.
An Alternative eztrsct like DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, made of roots
and herbs, without the use Of alcohol, will
assist the stomach in sssimilating or taking
zap from the food such elements as are
required for the blood will assist the liver

new CZARIS WANTED

A special telegram to the Chicago
Daily News from St. Petersburg says:
From most reliable source your
correspondent is informed that the
local reform leaders of Moscow, most
of whom hold official appointments,
have resolved that if the car should
persist in his unyielding attitude they
will convoke national assembly and
elect another czar.
Nicholas, however, seems to appre"
ciate the gravity of the situation. His
object in selecting Washington as the
site for peace negotiations and Count
Muravietf as one of the ENJOYS was to
gain time. He hoped that in the mean
time the interior troubles would sub
side and that General Linevitch, hay
ing been reinforced, would show the
Russians in favorable light in the
field.
Events have upset the calculations.
The country is torn by revolution.
Moscow itself threatens to name a pro-
vincial government.
Japan has now occupied the islands
of Sakhalin and brought the war into
Russian territory. General Hazegawa
is Fastening to invade the province of
Ussuri, and thus the japanese ENJOYS
will have right to demand cession
of territory.
Muravieff will now proceed to Wash
ington at once. The czar will also
leave for Moscow. He will instruct
various mayors of cities now in con-
ference there to meet him at the Hen
sky palace, where he will declare his
readiness to yield to their requst for re-
forms and will ask for their support.

ANOTHER SCANDAL LIKELY.
Department of Agriculture Is Under
Fire,

Department of Agriculture Is Under
Fire.
If the scandal in the department of
agriculture, involving the integrity of
the crop reports, should develop into
such gigantic an affair as is now init
mated may be possible it would far
oyershadoW the postofice department
troubles.
Originally it was merely charged
that there had been a leakage, by
which advance information reached
spectators concerning the report on
the cotton crop. This caused the sus-
pension of Edwin S. Holmes. assistant
statistician of the department. Then
came the more serious charge that the
figures of the crop conditions had
been tempered with and the public had
been given a dishonest report, while
ted to know the truth.
On the heels of this report of the
manipulation Of the figures came the
intimation, from Secretary Cheatham
of the Southern Cotton association,
that before he was done he would raise
serious question as to the honesty of
all the crop reports This brings the
matter up close to the northern and
western farmer, as it has already been
brought to the southern planter.
The allegation involves the reports
on corn, wheat, oats, fruits, hay and
every agricultural staple. The gov
eminent reports have been supposed
the most reliable.
