Tazewell Fair to
Open September Is

The time is drawing nigh for the
annual meeting OF the Tazewell
County Fair which meets September
the 18th. The management have pro-
Spects for n pleasant and profitable
time. Ii has been suggested that one
thing the fair lacked last year was
more suitable shelters and accommo-
dation for cattle and sheep brought
To the fair for exhibition purposes.
Last year there was need felt also for
larger and better accommodations for
fowls, vegetables, etc. To know that
there are suitable and ample accom-
modations is encouragement, and i'm
fact, strong inducement i'm securing
exhibits. But If there is no suitable
place, or II, very poor one, i'm which
To show any article the probability
is that no exhibit I'm that department

To believe that the next fair will be
an improvement upon any yet held.

Mr.. Campbelrs Lime Heap

Mr.. Campbell has advertised his
Lime works for sale. This sale in
cludes of course the large amount of
what is known as refuse lime, which
is heaped high about plant, and it
is OF this that we wish TO speak.
This lime, which can be bought
very cheap, should go on the lands
in this section. This writer has used
it on some of the very hardest, clod-
diest, stiffest clay TO be found, and
has had the pleasure of seeing this
same land reduced to fine, soft con-
dition-as soft as an ash bank-land
that can be easily and pleasantly
worked with light garden hoe.
There is a great, deal of heavy clay
land in this section which needs Just
this lime, and it is strange that the
farmers and gardeners do not see this,
and haul this lime on their lands.
Cold, sour clayey, sticky soil needs
this, and in many cases only this,
TO renew, and make it productive
and easy to work. Try just one load
of ii, and see.

Ringing Words

If l were called to point out the
most alarming sins of today, those
which are most deceitful in their in
fluence, and most soul-deStroyiug
in their ultimate effects, | would not
mention drunkenness, with all its
fearful havoc, not gambling, with its
crazed victims, nor harlotry, with its
hellish orgies; but the love of money
on the part of men, and the love of
display on the part of women. While
open vice sends its thousands, these
fashionable and favored indulgences
send their tens of thousands TO per-
.ditiOn. They scar the conscience, in
crust the soul with an impenetrable
she'll of worldliness, debauch the
affections from high and heavenly
objects, and make man and woman
the worshipers of self. While doing
all this the poor victim is allowed by
public opinion TO think himself or
herself Christian, while the drunk
ard, the gambler and the prostitute
are not deceived by such thought
for moment Crosby.

$40 FINE FOR
ASSAULT
Mayors Investigation into Mon
day Nights "Riot, Center
ed all Trouble on One
Man

Mayor SPOTS had large number OF
supposed lawbreakers before his bar
on Wednesday. AS a result, Charles
Campbell was fined twenty dollars
and costs.
For some time back streets and
some of the front ones, have been a
veritable bedlam at night. Rows and
scraps of all kinds, punctuated with
numerous shots, had become so fire.
quent and notorious that the citizens
OF the town, particularly ladies were
afraid to venture on the streets at
night. The climax was reached last
Monday night. On main street
near Pobsts store building, a scrap
took place between number of bows
and young men, black and white, in
which n white boy was choked, it is
said by negro, and before il was
all over about seven shots were fired.
Capt. Alexander started out TO
round up the boys, and on Wednes-
day about twenty witnesses were ex-
amined in the Mayors Court. The
only thing that was proven, il seems,
was that Charles Campbell, young
negro man, had assaulted young
Clyde Hankins, white, and fine
imposed of twenty dollars and costs.
Although there was some twenty
or more men and boys, about equally
divided between black and VIII ite-
some of them married men, of good
sense and judgment, but few of them
seemed 10 know anything definitely
about the affair, except as stated
here. Who did the shooting no one
seemed TO know. From the evidence
ii would appear that some one person
got out 10y himself and went TO shoot
ing.
On Tuesday night several shots
were fired i'm another part of the
town, not far off. One of these shots
was fired in Mechanics avenue near
the residence of James Cousins, and
n number Of the people of that
neighborhood were very much fright
ened. Who these pistol toters and
night walkers are, remains TO be as
certained.
This sort of lawlessness in this
usually quiet little town has caused
great deal of talk, and unless il can
be severely dealt with and stopped,
will lead TO serious trouble, perhaps.
Race riots and lynchings' and ali
sorts of trouble have grown out of
just such beginnings.
1t is the duty of every good citizen
to do his duty in putting stop to it
in the start.

THE TWO-CENT RATE LAW.

The question is asked, "What is
Virginia going To do in the Railroad
rate case? Will she follow the ex-
ample of North Carolina, and enforce
the law, or wait until the Supreme
Courts pass upon the constitutional
ty of the law2" The two eases are
different. The Ia cent rate was
passed in North Carolina, by the
Legislature of that state, and at once
became statute-as much part of
the organic law OF the state as any
other statute fixed by its General AS
sembly. The United States Court
had no more right To forbid the en-
forcement of this law than of any
other law of the state, and Governor
Glenn could moth ave done less than
he did. The humblcst citizen of
North Carolina had rs much right To
claim immunity from compliance
with the laws of the state as had the
Southern Railway. In Virginia this
is different. AS IA matter OF fact, the
2-cent rate law i'm Virginia has never
been completed-neyer became n stat
ute. The Corporation Commission,
among other things was required TO
publish the railroad rate law four
times in n Richmond paper before IL
became effective. Every step was
taken and the law completed except
this publication.
Here Judge Pritcnard enjoined the
commission, forbidding the publica-
tion of the rate law in the papers,
and hence, the , cent rate has not
become "A law, and cannot, until this
promulgation by publication. There
the matter stands. The question,
whether or not Governor Swanson
will ignore the order of Judge Prich-
ard, and order the rate published, or

will be 10 decide the question once

Where are all the teachers? What
wrong with the colored teachers? The
