day Judge Boarman denied the petition
for revision of the ruling OF the de-
partment ot customs regarding the

mated that revision of the existing
tariff would mean the saving of .hous-
ands OF dollars each year to nsanninc-
turing interests in the South. They
contended that the product should not

product, but should be admitted as
hair press cloth" on which the duty
Is far less.

that the exception made for hair press

The News contained some live sug-
gcstions last week. That Goat
idea is a good one. A town with the
national beauty of Tazewell ought
not 10 nave TO resort to the goat bri-
gade TO keep weeds down in the
streets. Perhaps no town in the coun-
try is talked about by travelling men
as much as Tazewell. Every one
speaks of its beauty, its wholesouled
hopsitable people. How many express
the wish that they could make Taze-
well their home, and yet the News
has to quarrel almost every week
about those abOminable dirt roads,
weedy streets and ramshakled walks.
Tazewell should initiate the blue
grass region of Kentucky in roads as
we'll as soil and stock.
