PRESIDENT TUCKER

Somebody said the other day that
if Mr.. Tucker had made big success
of the JameStOwnENpOsition it would
have landed him i'm the Gubernatori-
nj chair. This is an erroneous and
unjust view. Mr.. Tucker was not
placed i'm his position rs President To
make money out OF the Exposition.
No one, whose judgment is nj all
reliable, expected him 10 do so. 81.
Louis, Chicago, Buffalo, and all the
rest made no money. The money
view il an ignoblc one anyway. The
Exposition was not undertaken with
any such idea. Mr.. Tucker has made
Il succcsS-and a big onc-of the EN-
position, i'm spite of Barr, KOhlsaat
~ Co, and his own money hcpled do
il. If Mr.. fuckers election as Gov
crnor hinge, upon his success as Pres
idcnt of the Exposition, then he
should be the next Governor The
Exposition was not undertaken rs Il
money making scheme nor polit-
ical scheme either, so far rs Mr..
Tucker is concerned, We feel sure.
Such talk is nonsense.

DESKINS GREEN

Deskins Green, Il farmer living i'm
the west end of the county, was nomi-
mated 10y the Republicans last Satur-
day 10 rperesent Tazewell and Buch-
anan counties in the next General
Assembly of Virginia. To the masses
OF the people this nomination will
come as SURPRISE as il was not
known outside of limited circle
that Mr.. Green was candidate for
The Office. The question will be ask
ed; Who is Mr.. Green? Deskins
Green is a well known farmer. living
near Paint Lick, in the west end of
the county. He was born and raised
IN this county. His father, and grand
father before him, lived here. MIR.
Green owns a bluegrass farm near
Paint Lick, and is also member of
The firm of ID. Green & Co., small
country store near that place. He
has saved good deal of money, and
twenty-five years ago would have
been considered rich man. He stands
well among his trends rs Il good bus
mess man. He is about % years old,
perhaps.
AS 10 Mr.. Green's qualifications
for the office he is seeking, the public
can be the best judge. He has had
few, If any educational advantages
and absolutely no experience in pub
lie affairs. His life has been snent
almost entirely on his farm and at
home. His acquaintance with DubIic
men and public affairs is almost If
not entirely lacking. Any public
duties which he might feel called
upon TO perform, or bills to draw up
TO be offered before the House. would
necessarily have to be done by others.
for Mr.. Gre like many an other good
man, would not know ANYTHING
in the world about it. Anything of
this character would have TO be done
by some one for him. This is no dis
arrangement OF Mr.. Green as n man
and citizen, of course, but is unfavor-
able TO him as a representative of two
such counties us TazeweIl and Buch-
anan.

THE HIGH SCHOOL NATTER
AGAIN

The trouble, and we presume the
only trouble, in the mind of Pat
ron, " whose article appears elsewhere
in this issue, and of number of
other patrons of the school, arises
from the fact, that the High School
business is not understood by the peo
pie. The High School Board has gone
on all the time, managing the matter
themselves rs they thought best, but
have not taken the public and the
patrons of the school into their conf
dence. Mr.. John III. Lewis. the
secretary and treasurer has had al
most the entire management. and has
done ii we'll, and we have had, aS all
admit, good school. but The trouble
arises from the fact that the Board
makes no publication of its affairs.
Nearly all the trouble and VeNation
which has arisen in the management
of public affairs i'm the state. have
arisen from the fact that the Boards
do not let the public know how mat
tiers stand. The criticisms and talk
about the new Jail all comes from the
fact that the people do not know how
matters stand, and where the money
was spent. The papers state that the
trouble i'm the Board of Agriculture
was due 10 the same cause. The
Board concealed its doings from the
peope. This paper has begged and
pleaded for years for regular, open
and candid statements from the
Boards and officers who handle public
monies, because the people have a
right 10 know, and they will never
be content 10 pay their money year
In and year out without knowing
how and where il is spent. If the
High School Board will come out
with plain itemiZed statement of
receipts and expenditures, and show
the people where and how their tut
lion is needed and spent there will be
no harm done, and no dissatisfac-
ton.
The people want TO know how
much salaries are paid the teachers.
and how much public school funds
and tuition money is collected and
how divided and paid-how much
commission is paid Mr.. Lewis and
Mr.. Britain for handling this
money, and why any commission
should be paid at all on money that
is paid promptly when bills are pre-
scented, etc. How can this paper, or
any one else answer these questions
unless the Boards and others will
furnish The facts?
