PLANTS SEE, FEEL, TASTE.
Botanists Say They Display the Same

of Johns Hopkins university. but he
has never been able to find any evil

DR.. Conrad made this statement
while discussing the theory of DR..
Haberlandt. of the University of
GantZ. that in the leaves of plants
and trees are organs that resemble
the eyes of animals. Although he is
not prepared to accept this theory
without reservation, DR.. Conrad says:
I'VE have never been able to discov-
er any way in which plants are sus-
ceptible to sound. but in seeing, feel
ing and tasting they are developed
with a single exception they can
recognize light and the direction from
which 1t comes; they feel the slightest

UNITED STATES CHEAPEST
Steel Expert Says That Quotations Are
Lower in This Country Than
Elsewhere.

New York.-Steel experts figure that
the United States is now the cheapest
market in the world for steel rails. One
manufacturer reports that recently u
sale of rails was made in England on b
basis of $29.4O a ton. as compared with
SIS a ton, the price that has prevailed In
this market for the past several years.
AS a result of the advance in prices
abroad the selling price of American
rails in foreign markets is gradually be-
ing raised. The difference in the price
here and in Europe has practically elm
mated foreign competition for the time
being.
The iron and steel business abroad is
exceptionally strong in all lines, which
accounts for the action of steel plate
manufacturers in removing rebates on
steel plates destined for Pacific coast
points.
The demand for steel rails in this
country shows no signs OF abatement.
Mail orders are coming in in larger vol
ume for this time of the year than ever
before The railroads are laying more
rails than they figured on last year. and
this has resulted in substantial increases
in specifications from the original
amounts.

already opened up, and turn it over
for operation. This syndicate will
bind itself TO employ some five hundr-
cd convicts from the State at "A price
guaranteed to be double what the
State is getting now for this labor. The
income from the use of the cOnvicts
and the output of the mines, General
Ayers says will pay for the property
and all expenses in six years, and
the syndicate will then turn over 10
the state well established business,
equipped with everything necessary to
continue the business. The article
points out that all the State institu-
tons. charitable, educational and the
State buildings i'm Richmond, could be
supplied with coal from the states
own mines. 1t can bee seen mt a glance
what n source of revenue this would
be To the state.
Besides, and not the least considera-
ton by any means, is the benefit the
convicts themselves would receive.
As now, these men leave prison poorly
prepared To make living Here
they have healthful employment in the
mountains, and learn how to do some
thing that will enable them 10 make IA
living during their life time
After thinking the entire plan over
it would seem that this plan, or some
thing like it, should be adopted at
once without any opposition. Tennes-
see has such plan. as pointed out by
General Ayers and Alabama has
worked her prisoners in coal mines for
years.

Dear Sir: You are so well known

They didn't do it by accident.
Wouldn't it be handsome thing TO
do to paint your house? 1t is a nice
house, has good substantial, COM
modious look, and isn't rusty at all,
YOU know; but "A fresh coat OF paint
would make it SO bright! it is n pity
not to.
Devoe is beautiful paint, but the
beauty of it is: it lasts SO long, and
does so much more than adorn an al
ready interesting and attractive edi-
flee. House outbuildings and fences.
There isn't n mae or Il woman in town,
who wouldn't see them and make some
pleasant remark. OF course, you will
paint the town property; nothing

done the same thing at home, it is the
most natural thing to do it for them.

Keep your blood clean as you keep your
body clean You don't wait until your
body is foul before you cleanse IL
II is matter of surprise that many peo-
pie who are careful to have clean bodies
make no effort 10 keep the blood clean.
Everyone knows that uncleanness breeds
disease; that those who do not keep their
bodies in a wholesome condition and who
dwell in filthy Surroundings are the hrst to
fall when some epidemic of disease sweeps
the country. But foul blood is more dan
gerous TO the individual than foul body.
An uuclcan body is rather a passive than
an active hindTance 10 health. But unclean
blood is an active threat against the very
life-it makes the body a prepared breed
ing place for disease.
II is part of Natures plan for human
safety that in many cases where the blood
is impure or corrupt she sets sign on the
body in proof Of the corrupt current that Is
flowing through the veins. ScrOfula with
its dishguring sores and scars, eczema with
its irritation, salt-ThC um, letter. erysipelas,
boils pimples aud other eruptions are only
the outward signs of the impurity OF the
blood. But often in the earlier or simpler
stages of the blood's impurity there are no
outward signs of this condition; only dull,
languid. sluggish feelings, which are com
monty attributed solely 10 the sluggishness
of the liver.
OF all preparations for purifying the
blood DR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry easily takes the first place. 1t elimin-
ates from the blood the elements which
clog and corrupt il, and which breed and
feed disease II acts directly on the blood
making glands. increasing their activity,
and SO increasing the supply of rich, pure
blood which Is the life of the body.
Accept no substitute for Golden Med
ical Discovery" There is nothing Just
as good for diseases of the stomach,
blood and lungs.

GENERAL AYERS ARTICLE.

1t will be recalled by the readers of
this paper, that in recent issue, FEB.
2d) the suggestion was made that, in
order to provide a permanent and
ample road and school fund, the State
buy or lease "a tract of coal land, and
operate it, employing, as far as pos
sibIe. the convicts OF the State.
In a recent issue of the Times-Dis-
patch, Fed. 13thl General r. A.
Ayers. with whom we had mad nc
communication, in a lengthy article
suggests the same plan, and shows
clearly how the plan may be put into
operation.
We are gratified, OF course, that Sc
wise and far-seeing business man as
General Ayers, is OF our opinion, ano
agrees with our views exactly.
Briefly, the plan, as outlined in thu
article Of General Ayers, is as follows

YOU MAY HAVE

but there is no reason why you
should let your property go with
out the protection good fire in

When you can come to an agen-

HARKING BACK.

HARKING BACK.
The Richmond papers state that a
Principal of high school in that city,
and also a lady teacher, are before the
School Board TO answer complaints
made by patrons whose children were
whipped in school for violation Offules.
The custom-an old fashioned one,
and not a bad one, perhaps, of "tan-
ming hides i'm school, which for "a time
became almost absolute, seems TO be
coming in fashion again. We older ones
remember with great distinctness, the
long. keen hickory that stood i'm the
corner. or stretched itself on project
ing nails against the wall i'm full view,
i'm the old school house Of the past.
It's swish and sting is not entirely for
gotten. either. The contortiOns oil
body-sometimes ludicrous- OF the
victim. as he bent i'm or out, according
10 the directions from which the blows
fell. i'm order TO loosen the clothing on
a particular part of the anatomy, is a
picture very dictinct yet on the walls
of the memory. The average boy
breads the lash, particularly when adj
ministered in the presence of the
school. which the old pedagog always
did. In this particular there seems To
have been a commendable change. The
culprit is now. we believe, marched of
10 n lonely. bare room, where only the
whipper and whippee are witnesses Of
the tragedy. In the Richmond cases
referred To a lady seems To have done
her own whipping. I'VE venture she has
red hair, instead Of turning over the
job to the principal And this is right,
too. II boy is too large for a woman
10 whip rs is too large to be whipped
and should he dismissed.
In our own High School here the
tanning" act is again in vogue Our
efficient Principal finds il necessary t.
occasionally treat a hide 10y the old
scriptural process, and the results Sc
far have been satisfactory. When he
came TO Tazewell and commenced his
school, certain changes were found
necessary, and of course "A little fric
ton followed. and few Of the young
bucks undertook, or rather thought
they would undertake to "bucL
against" the young Principal, who's,
light avoirdupOis seemed 10 Civ,
promise of little or no resistance. Blu
the rod fell and hides were daily
treated by the old process, until Their,
was a great change, and now, every
thing works smoothly. Richmond an'
TaZewell shakes hands. The difference
Is, that no patron here has, rs yet
entered any complaint, but thinks tn
Principal did not strike.a lick amis
unless it missed. SO, history repeat!
itself, and we are barking back to tn
old school method of dealing with tn
incorrigible.
If fathers and mothers at HON
would ''hark back, and keep an oil
