BIDS FOR SCHOOL
OPENED YESTERDAY
But Lowest Bidder Was Over
$1,000 Above Amount Sc
cured For Building.

The High School building received
quite set back yesterday. and "a
new start will have To be made.
When all the bids had been handed
in. by the contractors who were
figuring on the work IL was found
tha; they Were ali away above the
amount aNailable for the work.
The following bids were made:
Hampton and Ioback, 27,7I2.O
ID. J. Phipps, Blueheld and
Newport News, -, 90
Baker and Wells, Graham, "a, TO-. 90
a. Nj. Millard, %, 375.0 90
The amount available for the COM
pletion of the work being only about
$40, 600 IL will be seen that the plans
and specifications will have 10 alter
ed and cut down. or else more money
raised from some source.
Messrs. Heldreth and Kiser, being
members of the Council, were for
hidden To bid on the work, law
having been passed by the lastLegis-
lature prohibits any man CONTRACTING
Tor work which he has anything to
do with letting out.
Several members OF the school
Board were seen on yesterday, and
said that they did not know
just what steps would be taken next
until the meeting OF the Council was
held, which will be tomorrow after
noon. IL is stated with authority,
however, that IA number of things
can be cut out of the plans and
specifications which viii cheaper the
work, and also, il necessary, adj
ditional appropriation may be asked
for. One thing is certain, the build
ing will go up, il not according To
the present plans and specifications,
then new ones will be made.
The contractors who handed i'm
their bids on yesterday all complain
eel of the indeiiniteness and incom-
pleteness of the plans and speclnca-
tions, and no doubt number of
changes will be made.

A Reformed Newspaper Man.

Rev. Mr.. Hamilton, n reformed
politician and repentant newspaper
man, explained last Tuesday night
in the meeting, how saving grace
had brought him out of the mire of
such associations, and placed his
feet upon the Rock of Ages. His
example, while worthy of emula-
tion, necessarily saddens those of us
who still pin part of our faith TO a
given party, or from necessity are
compelled TO follow n debasing pro-
fession.

The pine trees dark and high,

Reached almost TO the sky

But now it's little joy
To know that heaven is farther Off

Old Joe" is Dead.

The well known dray horse, known
as 'Old joe II dead. He was found
dead In the pasture field few morn
ings ago, where he had been turned
out To rest and recuperate. 10 was
bred and born I'm Burke's Garden by
the Crockett boys, about II years ago.
lie was brought To Tazewell about
l3 years ago, and wore his life out as
dray horse ON the street. Cyrus
Caudill, VIM. Ratlin, w. Ed.
Peery, Bert Ratlifi, John Litz, and
VIII lreson, each in turn owned
him, and many "A heavy load he
drew from the station To town, and
from town To station. He could
always be depended upon. When he
threw III, ponderous weight and
great strength against loadedwagon
something had TO move or something
would break. 10 was quiet and buSi-
ness like. But one occasion, and only
one, during his long life, did lie go
on the rampage, ana for this one
breach Of good conduct his driver was
perhaps to blame. The drny turned
over ut the head of Main street, and
Jo thought ii best To get out OF the
way. What he did for that wagon
was II plenty. Barring this, his life
was uneventful. He was one Of the
best and truest horses ever hitched.
IL Is To be hoped that his last hours
were calm and devoid OF suffering.
and that he had decent burial.
If any horse ever deserved habi-
tation upon the green, cool plains
and pasture fields OF the unseen land
which good people believe Is provid-
eel for animals, then faithful "Old
Joe" may be found right there now,
where the crack of the whip and
the rumbling Of wheels disturb him
not.

Was not safe TO travel anyway, and

they saw the work they would pay
for IL at what IL was worth. Payne
and Patterson went To work and
partly fixed the bad place near
Young Brothers store. Some one who
does not pay 90 cents road tax said
that Payne and Patterson was haul
in rock OFF w. L. Paync's land,
and that Payne and Patterson was
both Democrats, and then Payne and
Patterson was notified to stop. Now.

 Funds are still in such abundant sup ply that no real inconvenience was caused to any competent borrowers. The call loan rate at the stock exchange did not rise above 1s4 per cent. Reports of rail road net earnings for August, While showing effective economies in operating expenses, left large margains Of net de- creases still to be overcome. The Penn sylvania, Reading, Erie and Missouri, Kansas and Texas were examples. Tn the reports of gross earnings Of railroads for a later period there begins to appear marked improvement in the comparison with last year. Not only is the growth of earnings this year over earlier months at work in the comparison, but also the poorer traffic of last year which began to develop as affairs approached the De- tober crisis.
 In the absence of news developments there was some disposition to fall back on rumors In the attempt to move prices Those affecting the supposed Hartman intentions towards the Gould group were heard again today. The Union Pacific Securities company project was also dis cussed again. These proved but feeble factors in the market, which was almost motionless through most of tie session.

PRICES ARE NOT AFFECTED

New York, October LA further shrink age occurred today in the volume of business transacted at the stock exchange. The almost stagnant condition or the market is attributed to the purpose on the part Of the large financial interests to await the outcome of the elections De- fore entering on commitments. While this would suppose a neglected stock market for over a month to come, it seldom nap pens that such absolute dullness as that of today is prolonged for such a period. That the market awaits a new initiative after the progressive settlement into Its present stagnation is evident. Incidents of any interest or importance were scarce today.
 The call money market continued to rule somewhat flrmer than of late as is not unusual in New York following periodi- cal financial settlement, in contrast with the almost immediate response on for eign money markets to the passing Of the settlement day. Thus discounts were marked down today in Berlin and Paris, and in London the easing tendency yes terday even anticipated the October date. The weekly statements of the Bank of England and the Bank of France re- fleet in the large changes in the various statements, the usual heavy requirements upon resources of those institutions in the putting through of the settlements In addition to the regular quarterly pay ments the New York market had to finance a $11, ,625, 600 installment of sub scriptions for Northern Pacific stock. The interior also continues to make requlsi- tions upon New York for currency. snip ments are being made by express, and interior banks also draw on their New York correspondents for paying ophga- tions to the government, as is indicated by the gain of $4, ,1O2oO0 made by the suo-

 Favorable weather for the day and the approach of the government report com bined to put cotton future quotations down today The opening was steady, 1 to>3 points under last nights close. The range of Limitations was narrow throughout the day and trading almost at a standstill Even the governments hur- ricane warnings were not made us of to affect prices. The closing was easy to points under last night.
