Virginia.

In another column will be found an
article from the Times Dispatch as to
qualification of voters under poll tax
laws, as construed by the Attorney
General of the State. The law was al
ways plain to us, that a voters name
must be on Treasures certified list if
he has paid his poll taxes, otherwise
he cannot vote, even if he has paid all
his poll taxes due. If the Treasurer
failed TO record his name it was his
duty TO examine said list when posted
by Sheriff and have his name restored
10 the list within the thirty days pre-
scribed OF else he is not a legal voter.
and has no one 10 blame but himself.
There is no discretion with the Judges
OF election, yet we have heard of some
few instances where voters were al
lowed 10 vote on exhibiting tax tickets
for missing year. They violated the
law when they did this. One can easily
see how this method could be abused
by an interruptions officer dating tax
ticket back. No one swears TO "A tax
ticket. but the Treasurer does have 10
swear 10 his posted list. There is a
statute for IA certificate from one coun-
ty or city to another county or city
which covers all that is needed out
side Of Treasurer's list. To those not
posted and have To pass on this ques-
ton it would be well to preserve the
Acknowledgements ruling, as published
elsewhere in this issue.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition. hearing will be des-
troyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case OF Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

Important to Voters.

Soon after the election The Times
Dispatch directed attention to compli-
cations likely to arise through errors
in the list of voters who have paid
their poll taxes, according to the re-
quirements of the Constitution, which
list is required to be made up by the
treasurer, and a copy furnished to the
election judges.
The Attorney-General, i'm reply TO an
inquiry from Messrs John 2. Leary and
Joseph C. Taylor, judges of election in
Richmond, has given an opinion, which
is OF vital Importance TO voters.
First of all, he points out that it is
the duty of each county and city treas
urer, at least five months before each
regular election, TO file with the clerk
of the Circuit Court of his county, or
Corporation Court of his city, as the
ease may be, a list of all persons i'm his
county or city who have, not later
than six months prior to such election
paid the State poll taxes required by
the Constitution, during the three years
next preceding that i'm which such cleo
ton is held; that this must be a single
list, and not three separate lists, and
that the clerk must provide Judges OF
election with copy of such single list
Tor their guidance.
1t is TO be hoped that clerks will be
careful TO comply with this provision
TO the letter. as it is very inconvenient
for judges to have 10 deal with three
lists when the names can be printed
on one list.
1t IS further required by law that
within ten days after receipt by the
clerk a copy of every such list for
every voting precinct shall be deliver
ed by him to the sheriff of the county
or the sergeant of the city, whose duty
it shall be to post the list at every such
voting precinct, that voters may have
an opportunity to examine it.
Within thirty days after such list has
been posted any person who shall
have paid his capitation tax, but whose
name is omitted, may, after five days
! written notice to the treasurer, apply
TO the Circuit Court of his county. OF
Corporation Court of his city, or &c
the judge thereof in vacation, to have
the same corrected and his name
entered thereon, which application the
Judge shall promptly hear and decide
1t Is important that every vote shall
inspect the list as soon as it is posted
to ascertain whether or not it contains
his name, for the Attorney-G General
says that
'No person who is required to pay

road taxes paid i'm cash, and kept
separate from other accounts, a liberal
appropriation from the state, also from
the Federal government, the employ
ment of able bodied Migrants, tramps,
paupers. inmates of iails and peniten-
tiary convicts, etc. Proper committees
will be appointed to lay these matters
before the next General Assembly OF
Virginia.

THE GOOD ROADS MEETING
IN ROANOKE.

There has been a great deal Of talk
about good roads, and so far, "talk"
has been about all. However, "talk"
is necessary. At the meeting in Roam.
olle on the 18th number Of rcprcsen.
tative men were in attendance from
Southwest Virginia. Tazewell was rep.
resented by Nj. Geo. w. Stellar. Mr..
L. +. Johnson. President Of the y. &
W. presided, and a set Of important
resolutions We're adopted, the sub.
stance Of which is appended below.
The people Of TazeweI, and perhaps
other counties, are under the impress
sion that the Norfolk x Western is
going 70 take a large part in the build
ing ~ good roads in this section. and
are anxious TO know just what this
part will be, and what the n. & W.
proposes.
The Norfolk q Western doesn't pro-
pose To do anything. They are build
ing railroads, not county roads. As a
road OF company they have not madea
single promise. Some have imagined
that The railroad people would furnish
machinery or even money, TO help in
the matter. This is erroneous, and so
far as we can learn, they have made no
promises at all. Mr.. Johnson, as a
private individual, but not as Presi-
dent of the n. & w, man Of wide
experience in road building, generous,
ly offers the benefit of his experience.
and to give such help in the way Of
suggestions and advice as he may be
able. No doubt be would have his
road transport freight, material, etc,
free of charge, but this even, has not
been offered. Hence, SO far as tangible,
material help is concerned the railroad
people have guaranteed us nothing.
| This plain statement of fact is madeto
impress upon Tazewell people and all
Others concerned, that if we have good
roads we must build them ourselves
The machinery for crushing stone rollers
etc, we must buy with our own money
The n. q ". may haul it for us free
/ The resolutions adopted at Roanoke
propose taking definite stops to secur,
state aid in the way of an appropra
ton, the grant of convicts, prisoners
ETC., to help build the roads, but Their,
is little or nothing certain in this. Sc
it is as well TO know first as last, tina
, the success of the Good Roads move
ment must depend upon our enterpris
5 and money. How shall the money b
raised? One Of two ways-an increas
s in the tax levy or n bond issue. Whicl
is best is a question. In the meantim
i the mud roads are with us, and we ar
still talking. Who'll come to the from

THE ATLANTA RIOT AND
RELIGION.


The opinion is held by some. ac-
cording to the Literary Digest, that
the trouble in Atlanta between the
blacks and whites, and similar troub
les in the South, is due to the neglect,
religiously of the negroes by the white
people, that the negroes have their
own churches, preachers, school teach
ers, etc, and are deprived of the in
fluence and help of white preachers
and teachers, and are, therefore, with
out adequate and proper moral and
religious instruction.
1t is fact that the churches and
schools of the colored people are
almost without exception, filled by
teachers and preachers of their own
race. 1t is also true, that the moral
and religious, as we'll as intellectual
qualifications of these leaders are Woe
fully deficient in many instances, but
it is also true, that this condition is Of
the negroes own choosing and pleas
ure They won't have or hear white
teachers or preachers, if they could
get them. They prefer their own race
and will have no others. Soon after the
war the Northern missionary societies
sent white teachers and preachers
South in large numbers. The cClored
people were gathered in school and
church, and instruction given. IN
nearly all these cases the experiment
failed, and so far as We are informed
have been abandoned, and the colored
people tuned over % the teachers Of
their choice. The white teachers got
as tired Of the job as the negroes
themselves, and the abandonment Il
the project and the present arrange
mel- vas mutual
And here Is seen. sgain, the cloven
tooc q the political demon. The
negros were taught 10 believe. by the
Northern politician, that he was the
equal o. his former master, and gov
emed himself accordingly. Friction
was the result. The Northern white
teachers and preachers, ate, slept and
associated with their colored constitu-
ents, proving by their actions that
there was mo barriers between the
races. Friction, again-all on account
Of politics. If the negroes had never
been arrayed against the whites, and
made to believe lies the history of the
negro to this good hour would have
been altogether different.
If, to the neglect of the negroes by
the white people of the South is due
these woes and riots, this neglect is
due to the negroes themselves, insti.
gated and fosteTed by the politicians
Of the North. In the meantime the
white people have contributed many
thousands of dollars to the moral anC
christian elevation of the race, mucl
of which has been, no doubt, wasted

Convention Echoes

1t is now time for democrats to get
together and leave off chickering's and
recriminations. Mr.. Patterson is the
nominee, and as such he is entitled to
the full and undivided support of the
party. Springfield Herald.
1t is safe to say that Hon. M. r. Pat
terson, the democratic nominee for
governor, will receive the full democrat
ic strength of Warren county at the
November election. True, there are
differences to be bound up, but they
are healing rapidly. While this paper
favored the nomination of Gov. Cox as
against that of Gen. Patterson, yet it
will now support the nominee cordially
and so long will the democratic masses
who favored the nomination OF Gov.
Cox. Warren County Times.
Mr.. Patterson made splendid fight,
one that has caused some to predict a
loss to the ticket In the regular election
on account of scars that will not heal.
We are not so pessimistic, however, and
confidently predict for the nominee a
great victory over Mr., Evans or any
other republican the party may put out
In short time it will be found that
those who fought valiantly against Mr..
Patterson before the convention are in
line working just as valiantly for the
success of the ticket Smithville Record
All the anti-liquor legislation now on
the statute books was enacted by dem
ocratic legislatures and approved by
democratic governors. The anti-saloon
leaders know this, and they are not GO
ing to be so impolitic as to try to throw
down their friends just because the re.
publicans happen to make specious
promises. The temperance plank in
the democratic platform ought to have
the indorsement of all temperance men.
Indeed, we believe it is approved by al
