News.
Norton, Va. May 26.

Norton, Va, May 26.
Norton came near having a disas-
trous fire yesterday, Thursday The
Singleton property, one OF splendid
row Of residences including e1sienmings
Millers, Comanns and several others
caught and was almost totally des-
troyed. Owing to the very fine woik OF
the fire Company and the stiffness of
the morning the other buildings were
saved. Loss on the Singleton is about
$4,000.
The Republicans met at Wise Court
House last Saturday and had 'em
time. The Goodies and Taylors and
others from Big Stone had it up their
sleeves for Slemp. They succeeded in
raising racket anyway, and FOR a
time things looked squally. The APP
pointment of Rose, late day recruit
from Ohio to be Postmaster at the
Gap was the secret OF the opposition.
The most surprising thing that hap
pened was S. n Taylor, of Norton,
defeating the grizzled veteran OF a
hundred battles 'Wilume" Adams
for AN important committeeman place.
Uncle William wasn't used To that
kind of n dousing. The Slemp forces
won everything and AN instructed de-
legation goes to Marion.
Our Mayor, w. Terry Bowling, "dis-
tinguished" himself in the speech of
his life ut Norfolk last week. where he
went as a representative of the order

nominating speech which elected the

the national order, and i'm turn Mr.
Bowling was elected to quite an inn

One of the successful enterprises of

SHALL THE COUNTY BORROW MONEY ?
IF so, FROM WHOM?

w. NONi WiAOh
Several of the leading citizens Of the
county favor the issuance Of bonds for
an amount sufficient To put the roads
of the county in proper shape when
the time comes TO do So. 1t is no longer
question as to whether or not the
roads must bc built. but how and
when, is the question now. and the
prevailing sentiment is. that they
should ice built at once, if possible
The proposition now is for the.
county to borrow enough money, say
100000 to- put the roads ofthc county
i'm good shape. and that this amount.
properly expended will do this. This
amount can be carried. the interest
paid easily, and an amount put in
sinking fund each year sufficient to
pay the loan when due. from the pre-
sent Resources of the county. by "a

calculation:

The present D. ud tax is so cents ON
the one hundred dollars. Increase this
10 - cents, and the income for roads
would be S2o,25C per year. Add to
this the $1,000 fr.n the railroad tax
and we have S2425O road fund per
year. This takes no account Of tax on
franchises. new enterprises, etc. that
will, in all probability. spring up in the
county.

privilege of paying part Of it,. These
bonds can bc sold at 3 u per cent
which would be $4,000 per year in
tercst' Deduct this interest from the
yearly income tax of S2I.25O and we
have Sl3,750 per year left for a sink
ing fund and to patch and keep up the
roads.
Put aside $4,000 per year as a
sinking found, and we have left So
$50 per year left to be spent on roads
Just about the amount We have had
for several years, after paying for the
bonds issued heretofore. This can be
done 10y this rich county and never
felt ut all. The county would not be
aware of this small additional tax. and
100000 probably less would mead
anize, and put in good shape every
road of any Importance in the county
Another proposition: Instead Of boz
rowing money, increase the levy to 80
cents, which would give us practically.

ing this amount on the roads instead
paying it to the money lender Or
tier still, go the full length allowed
b law, and increase the levy TO 90

m - of fine road every year.
or course, if the appropriation Of
93O0,OO0 were reduced, which might
be deemed wise, the corresponding
figures would all be reduced in pronor-
ton.
1t should be remembered that n
bond issue means roads at once. The
other plan of taxation means only q
few miles built each year, and a long
time before all the roads can be finish

Just who got the big sum is not known

the guilt is. to be continued.
The examiners have not been able to

taken, but apparently it all disappeared
at once. The Treasury officials are ex-

aside from confirming the fact of the
shortage being proven. refused to discuss
