Young Cattle and Sheep Scarce
and High

The graziers of the county report
young cattle scarce and high at this
time. Considerable difficulty is ex-
perienced in finding sheep also, due
TO the fact, that for the past two
years, owing TO high prices, lambs
have been sold too close, and not
sufficient number kept for breeding
purposes. The lamb market has de-
clined within the past few weeks,
owing TO large shipments, but stock
sheep are higher in this section than
ever known before, good ewes bring
ing as much as IS. 90 per thead.

THE RATE
WAR ON
State and Federal Courts Clash
on the Rate-Law in State of
North Carolina.

The clash between the State and
Fedora authorities, i'm North Caro-
lima, has been the sensation of the
week. The Southern Railway was
fined $50, 600 in the State court last
week for violating the rate-law, pass-
ed why the last Legislature of the
state, Fixing the rate at Ia cents
per mile. Several agents and ocffiers
OF the road were fined, and others
sent To Jail for refusing to obey the
state laws.
The case was taken by the rawilay
people before Judge Pritchard, of the
United States Court, atAshville, who
rendered a decision that the action of
the State court was unconstitutional
and void. The state will carry the
case to the Supreme Court of the
United States.
AT its recent session the General
Assembly of North Carolina passed a
railroad rate law, fixing the passen-
ger rate at IA cents per mile. In
an attempt TO enforce this law has
come this clash between the State
and Federal Courts. There is much
speculation as TO what steps will be
taken by the Virginia authorities TO
enforce the 2-cent rate, fixed by the
Corporation Commission.
Governor Swanson, Attorney Gener-
al Anderson and Others have been i'm
conference, and the impression pre-
walls that they will follow the ex-
ample of North Carolina, and refuse
TO recognize the prohibitions impos-
ed 10y Judge Pritchard, and force the
issues into the Supreme Court of the
United States.

CecilliaJ ohnson, who has been n

in the University of Chicago, was the
cause, so the papers state of one of
the biggest sensations recently ever
produced in that city of startling
sensations. She has been first and
foremost in her classes, graduating in
a number of departments, the leader
in the social functions of the school,
first in all the swell socials and
dances, and sought out first by the
students in that great University on
all occasions. She is represented as
petite, beautiful, with raven hair
and sparkling black eyes, and of
beautiful complexion. The discovery
was made recently that Miss johnson
is n negro, and worse, still, n sister of
the infamous and notorious gambler,
"Mushmouth" Johnson, who has
terrorized and bafiled the Reform
Association of Chicago, for years.
When this discovery was made,
which was done by man who had
known her as n girl, there WAS some
thing doing i'm social circles in Chi
cago.. The girl lived with her mother
who was supposed 10 be white
woman, in fine house on one of the
principal streets of the city. She
left the University at once. The
color line' was tightly drawn.

Selling Poison
(Communicated)

Editor News: If some merchant
were known To be selling certain
brand of sugar, coffee, or candy that
had been treated with poisonous
drug which made the users sick, or
rendered them wild and reckless.
even though IL were sold under n IL
cense from the state, how long would
such merchant continue I'm busi-
ness? Just so long as IL took To order
him out of the community, or If
this was refused, TO pull his house
down over his head, If there was no
other way TO stop him. The manu-
facturer and seller of whiskey is do
ing just this thing and worse.
Drunken men are killed, or being
killed daily. Young men, old ones,
too, are being made crazy, irrespon-
sible, wrecking themselves, their
homes, the women and childen, every
day, and yet the people tolerate the
evil. A few men, mostly foreigners,
are allowed TO crafty an ungodly
greed for money ut the expense of
human life and happiness, here and
hereafter. The number OF victims OF
drink in Tazewell County, for the
past ten years, Is appalling, and the
evil is on the increase. The day is
coming when the people of this coun-
ty and country Will come To their
senses and put n stop TO this whole
