The smallest newspaper in the world, ac-
cording to the publishers statement, ap
peared a few days ago on the lower East
Side of New York City. It is OF the size
OF a postal card, with one-half on the ad-
dress side devoted to advertisements and
the paper" proper printed in small type
in Yiddish, under the title The Jester. The
name denotes its character and it contains
principally humorous paragraphs, with
local. national and international points.
The spirit of competition is abroad in that
district, and on the day when the fourth
number appeared a rival, printed on a
double card, was placed on sale. The latest
of these miniature publications is also de-
voted to Ghetto humor and bears the name
The Devil. In the crowded district small
boys may now be seen on any day crying
in shrill Yiddish, The Jester, a cent" and
the echo. ''The Devil, a cent" always fol-
lows. Both have a large circulation and
furnish fun for the crowds around the
pushcarts and in the coffee houses.

Poll Tax Decision.

Richmond, Va, Sept, Lit was de-
cided by the State Supreme Court in
Staunton today that the celebrated Nor
folk poll tax case, involving the payment
of poll taxes as prerequisite to voting
and the correct Interpretation of the
personal payment" clause, which was
expected to be transferred from Rich
mond and argued at the present Staun-
ton term of the court, will not be so
transferred on the Richmond docket and
will not now be heard until after the
election
It's understood that Attorney General
Anderson will not have time to appear
in the case until after that time.
This decision will have far-reaching
effect. Under the rulings Of the lower
courts, and especially the court of Judge
Martin, Norfolk, from which decision
the case is appealed and which establish
ed the precedent, many voters will be
disfranchised throughout the state.

VALLEY FARMERS ARE
PROSPEROUS, HAPPY
Mr. KoIner Says Banks of the Valley Are
Bursting With Money

IF anybody tells you that there is
not money in farming in this State. lust
tell them to go to the Valley of Vir-
glnia, said Commissioner Koiner. of
the department of agriculture, who is
back, after staying two weeks in the
Land of Goshen"
Mr.. Koiner says that the banks AZ
Harrisonburg at this time contain more
than one million of dollars to the credit
OF the farmers in that county and that
the banks at Staunton and all through
that section are in the same condition
bursting with money.
Il was told that at least 80 per cent.
of the farmers of the alley are lending
mnney," Mr.. Koiner went on. land I
believe that it is true The people are
happy, they are prosperous, crops are
good, the homes are we'll furnished and
there are more conveniences and COM
forts in the country at this time than
ever before. The people of the Old Do
minion are in good shape. The cattle
are fat and are selling well. lam conf
dent that the farmers were never in
such condition. What is more, the ne
groes who are thrifty and hard working
are returning to the farms and are be-
ginning to realize that the country is the
place to live and be happy"

waited upon by negro delegation, of
which, we believe, this same Bishop
Walters was a member. And at the
same time Mr.. Bryan requested and
authorizen man from Chicago to or
ganize the negroes of Indiana, Illinois
and Ohio into Bryan clubs, using the
Brownsville incident for that purpose.
He also asked the negro delegation to
go out into the highways and byways
and urge the men of their race to rallv
to his flag. Rumors then became prev
aient that Mr.. Bryan was trying to use
the Brownsville affair as a means for
securing the solid negro vote in Indiana.

other States. This caused indignant
protests from Texas and other Southern
States. kilograms were sent him ask
ing that he make public his views ON
the Brownsville incident. While he de-
MED that he had made the negroes any
promises, he declined to express an
opinion about the justice or injustice of
the discharge of the negro soldiers who
were accused of shooting up Browns
vile.
Now, since Mr.. Bryan is sending out
the address of Bishop Walters, under
the direction and management of
Colonel Watterson, can there be any

Another Local Option Election.

Another local option contest will be
held in Bristol next May, and it is
understood that efforts will be made
to have the city establish dispensary
in view of the fact that the town of Alb
ingdon, just thirteen miles east of Bris-
tol, has steadfastly refused to part with
Its liquor dispensing establishment and
is waxing fat off of Bristol trade.
When the bitter contest was on in
Bristol in May, 1907, it was stated that
the only reason Abingdon tolerated a
dispensary was on account of the fact
that Bristol had been wet and that as
it voted dry the dispensary there would
be abolished. Instead, the institution
seems to have grown in favor, and the
revenues from it are so great that the
people have been entirely relieved of
taxation and public improvement is go
ing on on every hand.
1t is estimated that revenues from
the Abingdon dispensary this year will
aggregate nearly $50, while two
thirds of the trade is derived from Bris-
tol. The attitude of the people of that
town in refusing to join Bristol in the
movement for prohibition has robbed
the local temperance people largely of
the fruits of their victory, and it is un-
derstood that many who voted for pro-
hibition before are now in favor of a
dispensary on this ground.

What 10 The Trouhle7

A very serious condition of affairs ex-
lists in Jeffersonville District in regard
to the schools for the coming session. 1t
seems to be utterly impossible to get
boarding places for the teachers in a
number of localities where it is desired
to have public school. Of course the
School Board can not send a young lady
to teach a school in a neighborhood
where she can not obtain board in a
suitable family. 1t would be a gross
injustice to any mans daughter to treat
her in such a manner. On the other
hand it seems strange that people who
have children to educate, who have good
homes and plenty to eat, are unwilling,
even for an equitable consideration, to
receive into their homes young woman
of education and refinement, at least
sufficiently educated and refined for
those parents to be willing to entrust
the training of their children to her if
someone else will feed her. What Ia the
cause of all this? Is it because the
teachers have made such unreasonable
demands? Do they, as a class, render
themselves so obnoxious to the house
keepers that they have shut themselves
and all other members of their profes-
sion out of the pale of the best homes?
If such is the case land this seems to me
Incredibly then it is high time for q
new department to be provided in all
our training schools for teachers. But
if the difficulty does not arise from the
fault of the teachers it has certainly
arisen from some cause, and it has come
to such pass that if practical remedy
can not be suggested and put into oper-
alton at once it will be impossible for
the Board to place teachers in number
of our schools. We have enough appli-
cations from well qualified teachers
holding first grade or professional GER
tifcates to fill all our schools, but if we
do not hear from some patron or friend
of the schools who is willing to board
the teacher 1t is unnecessary for us to
appoint teachers and we will not do so.
Respectfully,
j. H. LEWIS. Clerk.
