LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE.
CLINcH VALLEY News:

OAANNh AA.lE1 NEWS.
In noticing your town ticket for
June election last week, the make up
OF even number from each party meets
my views, but as the present Mayor
has made an acceptable officer and is
derirous Of succeeding himself, we see
no good reason for displacing him at
this time, especially when the party
you name is no candidate and in all
probability would not have it. 1t is a
thankless job, and certainly the salary
involved is no enticement for any one.
Why not let Mayor SPOTS stand on
his record, and go before the people
for election?
The last n-partizan ticket elected
in the town i'm 1903 was composed Of
Republican mayor and recorder and
the council was composed of three
from each party. Politics developed
soon after this election, and always will
more or less, with some people, but
was generally satisfactory. We say
put Mayor SPOTS name at the head OF
the ticket and let it go through.
VOTER.
All right. This suits the News ex-
actly. Mayor SPOTS or any other
good man has our hearty endorsement.

WHY HE DOES 1T

druggist Jackson to one of his many
customers, "but am glad to sell DR..

stipation and dyspepsia on that plan
"The Howard Co., in order to get n
quick Introductory sale, authorized me
TO sell the regular fifty cent bottle of

There are sixty doses in a vial that
can be carried in the vest pocket or

cinal power than big pill OF tablet or

GRAHAM'S NEW DEPOT.

Graham is clamoring for a new de-
pot, and it seems to be a foregone con-
clusion that she will get it, but just
where, is the question now. Some want
the present depot-the old freight
house-as the site of the new one.
others want the new depot rebuilt on
the site of the one burned some years
ago, which stood at the junction of the
G. V. division and the main line. This
site was donated by the Graham Land
q Improvement Company for pas
senger depot some years ago, and a
slightly and convenient stone building
was erected-one of the prettiest on
the line-which was destroyed by fire.
and the N & W. at that time land
seems to have remained so, ever since)
was too poor to rebuild, 50 they moved
down, remodeled the old freight depot
slightly, and have remained there un
til this good day.
The travelling public have borne
patiently and uncomplainingly, the
dangers, privations and Inconvenience
of the old freight house for years, but
have now set up a clamor for new
and respectable station house, and re-
fuse to he put off longer.
That the new building should be erect
ed on the site Of the former passenger
station cannot be questioned. The pre-
sent arrangement is crowded, incon
venient and dangerous. To board a
train there necessitates crossing
several tracks, and if you succeed in
running the gauntlet of shifting engines.
coal trains and trucks, you still, most
likely will take the wrong train, as
they all look alike. run on the same
track, and seldom, if ever, is there an
official to announce trains.
1t is a wonder that more than one
passenger has not been killed there in
attempt to board trains.
AT the other place the depot will be
situated between the tracks, and
danger to life and limb and uncertain
-ty as to trains, etc, will be obviated
entirely.
1t is understood that the Corpora
b tion Commission will visit Graham
shortly to look over the situation. and
there can be but little doubt that these
business, practical men will see the
necessity for the safety and conven-
fences of the travelling public, that
there should be a good, new depot at
-6-tr11rrn1, on the new ste, and be built
at once.

Letter 10 I. M. BOND,
North Tazewell. Va.

Dear Sir: If we sell Devoe TO paint
your town, your road won't have so
much freight TO handle.
1t takes 10 gallons to paint a fair
size house. and that house won't want
painting for or 100 year. That's true
in way; but people, you know. rather
like fresh paint, and they paint for
nothing bu: looks sometimes.
That house would take II to - gal
Ions OF almost any other paint than
Devoe, and would have to be painted
again in half that time. Ten years is a
very long time for paint to wear: and
five isn't short.
Which makes the most freight. n 10
or 2O-gallon paint? 3 or 10 year paint?
But the 10-gallOn paint is the l0-venr
paint; and the 20 gallon paint is the 3
year paint. Which makes the most
freight?
Ask your paint-dealer which he'd
rather sell, and which he could sell
most OF. Ask your painter which he'd
rather paint; whether good or bad
paint is good for his business; which is
good paint, the 10 or 15-gallon paint;
which pays most freight, and which
pays most wages. Which will you buy
yourself, the 1O-gallon 10-year. or 90
gallon 5-year, paint?
Yours truly

RAISED A RACKET.

The ticket put up for town council
IN the last issue of this paper did not
at all please a number Of the Demo-
Gratis Of the town. The paper had been
issued a very short time when several
gentlemen called on the editor to in
quire what in the world he meant bv
suggesting such a ticket-s.a ticket
which gives the control of the town af
fairs to the Republicans" No objection
was expressed to the candidates
named-the proportion of the division
was the trouble.
Looking at the matter from a politi-
cal stand point there was cause for
complaint. If the Democrats have a
majority in town, as is claimed, and if
is best and wisest for the interest of
the town to insist upon strict political
management, then the directors 10 our
ticket are clearly within reasonable
bounds But, is it best to do this? This
paper doesn't think so, and is con-
scientious in its views. The fact that
the Republicans, when they can do so,
always appropriate everything in sight,
is no good reason why it is best or
right so to do. This town is too small
to admit Of such a thing. The office of
counciImen pays no salary, and if
political fight is necessary to fill the
