SUGGS AND HIS SYSTEM.
How His Deep Breathing Course Came
70 Be Irterructed.

Pulsifer Suggs appeared on his front
porch just as his neighbor came out
on his own steps. The neighbor glanc-
ed over and saw that Mr.. Suggs'
cheeks were pulled out and that his
yes seemed to be bullying. He OBJ
served also hat Mr.. Suggs walked
methodicaIly the length OF his porch.
then turned and retraced his steps,
cheeks still pulled and eyes still bulg-
ing.
Good morning." called the neighbor
cheerily.
."One.' said Mr.. Suggs. with a mighty
outpufing of breath. Then his cheeks
sank in and his eyes went back to sub
normal, while his shoulders curved for
ward and his chest became cOncave.
His waist line ais became smaller.
and Mr. Suggs walked the length OF
his porch and back in this shape, while
the neighbor looked on with amaze
ment.
Good morning." the neighbOr said
again when Mr.. Suggs returned to his
end Of the porch.
"Two-oo-oor" Kissed SIR. Suggs, with
a tremendous inruSh Of breath.
Once more Mr.. Suggs' cheeks grew
round and round. Once more his eyes
bulged out and his face rev purple.
Once more he snced the length of his
porch and back, Again the neighbor
said Good morning." aud this time
Mr.. Suggs blew out his breath in Il
rauCOus ''Three-ee-ee"
Again his shoulders were carving for
ward; again his cheeks were sinking
inward, but the nciGhbOr ran across
the lot and demanded:
What in the dickens do yol mean
by snubbing me, sir? I'll give you to
understand I'm as good as you or any
body else, and when | say Good morn
ing it's UP to you or a2lybOdy else tor
acknowledge it."
Mr.. Suggg gasped and replied:
Good morning, then, dOdgasf It.
I'm taking one of these deep breath
ing courses. and you choked me- off

now I've got 90 go back and begin all

are permitted to continue their present
figures. In other words, the case of
each road will be individually consider
ed. 1t is altogether probable that the
rates on some of the smaller lines will
remain unchanged.
In official circles it is rumored that the
Pennsylvania, the Norfolk & Western,
and the Chesapeake & Ohio roads will
make no fight against the proposed de-
crease in their rates, but will acquiesce
in the order of the commission. Certain
it is, that the Pennsylvania road has
shown disposition to take this course

Death Of Isaac NJ. Daley.

Isaac M. Daley, one of the oldest,
best-known and best citizens of Taze-
we'll county, died at his home near Gap
Store on last Thursday morning, the 9th
ult. He had been sick only about four
days, the cause of his death being pneu-
monia. The deceased was born and had
lived all his life on the farm where he
died. He was an excellent man and a
noble Christian gentleman. He was a
gallant Confederate soldier, having
served faithfully as member of the
29th Virginia Regiment of Infantry,
which was part of the historic Pick
ett's Divisio,. His ancestors were the
pioneers of Tazewell county, his moth
er being of the Cecil family. The de-
ceased was genial, hospitable man,
and for many years had been a devout
member of the Methodist Church. He
is survived by one son, Jno. D. Daley,
Esq, and one daughter, Mrs. Margaret
Young, of Bluefeld, w. Va. A number
of grandchildren also survive him,
among the number DIR. T. E. Peery, the
distinguished specialist, of Blue6eld.
The death of this venerable citizen was
heard of with regret by all who knew
him.
On Saturday, the 10Th ult., funeral
services were held at the residence OF
the deceased, conducted by Revs. Wiley
w. Yost and NJ. A. Waldron. The re-
mains were buried in the family grave
yard nearby. Although the day was
very inclement large gathering o1
friends and relatives attended the funer
al and burial services.

Pure Food Law Vent Into Effect Last
Tuesday.
ALL DEALERS MUST BIZ CAREFUL.
Contents of Every Package Must Be Stated
on cutside-Whisksy Blenders Are
Hard Hi:-AlsO Patent Drugs.

Washington, D. c., Jan. Com
menting on the pure food law, which
went into effect today, Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson said:
''Itwill do more than anything else
to bring this country into the foremost
place in the worlds commercial! race.
American goods will command and even
dominate the markets of the world.
Thousands of industries in this coun-
try will have to comply with the pro-
visions of the law or go out of business.
The law will prevent fake and spurious
food stuffs and drugs being put on the
market without bearing the proper
labels.
''It is with the manufacturers that we
shall deal principally in enforcing the
law. The result will be that when one
makes purchase of food stuffs or
drugs, he can rest assured that he is
getting just what he is paying for. A
proper label must be pasted on every
package, setting forth the contents.
Where alcohol, opium, or other narcot-
les is an ingredient, the amount must be
set forth"
The whiskey interests will probably
be affected more than any other in this
country. A great fight is being put up
by the blenders" against their being
compelled to label their product ''imita-
tion whiskey." This, they say, will
simnIv drive them ont of husiness Tho
straight" whiskey men insist that the
provisions of the law be carried out to
the letter.
Violations of the pure food law are
punishable by heavy fines or imprison-
ment, or both.

failure to produce contraction. The
volume of money, he contends, does not
respond to'the volume of our business.
The annualsincrease, he added, may be
sufficient, but there is no annual con-
traction during the dull summer months
"Only the unthinking and ill-advised,
he says, "charge the admitted strin-
gency solely or largely TO the stock and
bond speculation.
Cooperation between the commercial
banks Of the country, the secretary de-
clares to be impossible because the
Sherman antitrust law forbids it.
Instead, says he, eve have approx
mately twenty thousand institutions
engaged in commercial banking, each
law unto itself so long as it does not
violate statutory requirements with re-
spect to investments and reserve. AS
a natural and unavoidable result no
combined effort is made in midsummer
to provide ample reserve for the strain
inevitable upon the return of business
activity incident to the fall and winter
months. Under our present system
the only possible contraction during the
summer and the only possible provision
for the fall, Is accomplished by the sec
retary of the treasury withdrawing
government deposits from the banks
when these funds are not needed and
restoring them to the channels of trade
as the needs of business require. "By
keeping taut rein," he says, wild
speculation may be prevented, and in
most instances q resultant crash
averted.
Unfortunately, the banks are not
the only nor the principal sufferers
from contagious financial diseases.
Generally, they are able to protect
themselves if their loans have been
we'll madej they have only to refuse
additional accommodations and await
results. If crash should come from
whatever cause, factories will close
their doors, the weekly payroll will
cease, and the people least responsible
for conditions will be the ones on whom
this lesson of self-reliance will fall with
saddest effect"

Advance In Wages without Prsosdsnt.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Five million is
regarded as a conservative estimate of
the number of American wage workers
who begin the year 1907 with increased
pay. In its general character and ex-
tent the advance in wages is without
precedent. 1t takes in hundreds of
thousands of employees of the railroads
and other big corporations, nearly 100, =
600 mill workers of New England, the
street railway employees of Boston, Gin
cinnati, Philadelphia and other large
cities, the copper miners of Michigan
and Montana, steel mill workers and
factory hands from one end of the coun-
try to the other.

possible, and the fire department also
was called out. When the police arriv-
ed the villagers had taken out many of
the bodies and laid them side by side
near the tracks. At one spot there were
twenty-three bodies, so begrimed with
dirt and blood that they were unrecog-
nizable.
All along the track, however, dead
and injured were found. The latter
were placed on a relief train and hur-
ried to Washington. Many pathetic
scenes occurred on this train. Strong
men lay helpless, begging to be allowed
to go back and search for their loved
ones. Women cried out piteously for
their little ones, while physicians ten
derly soothed them. In one of the cars
physician bent over an injured man.
He felt the mans pulse, raised an eye
lid, and then quickly called for stryeh-
nine. The next moment the man was
dead.
The awfulness of the disaster can be
realized when it is stated that fully two
hours after the collision occurred the
police and citizens were still taking out
bodies. Under the empty cars of the
second train were parts of bodies. In
the midst of a pile of wreckage, the
rescuers took out the mangled remains
of two bodies, male or female it was
impossible to tell. The bodies were
ground to a pulp. At the other end of
the same car headless body was found.
