ginning TO end. The longest pole

distinct traces, SO the knowing ones
declare, of the last GubernatoriaI race
in this entire Rhea matter, and these
lines Will be seen in the next race for
Governor in this State. EVERYTHING
and anything is fair in love, war
and politics, so they say, and act
accordingly. Now, let the matter
drop. Judge Rhea will make a good
otlicer-as good rs he knows how In.
Its up TO him TO achieve greatness i'm
his new and responsible position. As
10 his resignation we have said all
the time that, if he was confirmed
he should take the oath of office. and
hold IT. Suppose he had resigned
his enemies, and perhaps some moi
his aNOwed enemies, would have con-
strued his action as tacit acknow-
Judgement of guilt. 1t would have
been reflection upon the Governor
who appointed him and the General
Assembly, which confirmed the ap-
pointment, and source of gratifica-
ton TO lot of political enemies who
have hated and pursued him all his
life. Resign! Suppose every congress-
man, Senator, editor, preacher, pub
lie officer of both parties even
the President-suppose all public
men against whom charges have been
made or might be made, should re.
sign their places-there would he a
lot of vacancies i'm this country. For
get it! Let Judge Rhea and the Com
mission have the cooperation of the
people in their responsible work.

evil has become frightful. Judging
from the reports i'm your paper the

more cases from whiskey than from
cocaine, yet you condemn cocain, and
defend whiSkey. You said. 1.-The drug
can be used anywhere and Ey any
body and one of its first effects is
To- make the man or woman using it
Il menace TO the community.
Is not the same thing true of q
man using liquor? If drunken man
is not menace To II community then
have failed TO observe correctly.

the awful effects of whiskey. Mr..

Mr.. Hadley'S statement let him come

TAZEWELL ROADS - SONE-
THING WILL BE
DONE

Ii can be safely stated, we think,
that some steps will be taken soon
10 do some permanent road building
in this county. Certain prominent
and influential citizens, who are stir
rede up, worn out and Disguised by
the wretched condition of the public
roads say something must be done.
The Legislature has done everything
and more than was expected. The
appropriation of public money has
been increased and large number
of available laborers provided for,
and now il is for the citizens of each
county TO say whether they will
have good roads or not. The state has
done all il can do, and all il can be
expected 10 dO-proA ided free labor
free of BOARD, transportation,
guards, and all, and the counties are
expected To do the rest-buy their
own machinery, tools, etc, and pay
the hands who handle and manage
these machines, the same as if the
State had nothing To do with il. The
county must do its share of the
work.
Russell county is doing fine work
with the state convicts, and under
supervision of the state engineers is
doing fine work. The Board of
Supervisors issued $50, 900 worth of
bonds, and spent -, 900 for machin-
cry, teams, tools, etc, and are now
going ahead. y published report
shows that from July Is To January
!, the cost of the work already done.
outside of the machinery, equipment,
etc, which they have on hand, is
81, 972 %. This amount includes salar-
les of engineers, foreman, carpenter,
stone masons, etc. For less than
$, 5000 they have graded and COM
pleted more good road-that is, real
good road, than we have in this coun-
ty-for as n matter of fact, there is
not mile of perfect road i'm this
county. Now, Tazewell can do the
same thing. But, we must get at it,
Application must be made TO the
authorities for the conVicts, as quite
number of applications are ahead,
and each county must wait its turn.
Let a lawyer be employed To have
the whole matter put i'm legal shape,
and do il at once. \ special bill
may have 10 be put before the Gener-
al Assembly, and the time is short.
Something will be done-ought TO be
done nj once.

CrOOkedneSS
LYnchburg News

Richmond, Va, February 2S.-
Responding To the Republican cry of
unfairness and general crookedness
against the majority faction in the
General Assembly i'm regard To the
Investigation of the fitness of Judge
William f. Rhea, of Bristol, to be a
corporation commissioner, and the
confirmation of his appointment by
the General Assembly, Democratic
Legislators have compiled from the
records the following facts which
may throw some light on the Repub-
lean Willingness To prolong the in
Vestigation. II. y. Anderson, Repub-
lican postmaster at Marion, and \.
L. Crockett, editor of Republican
paper ut COGburn, attended the meet
ing of the Republican committee
held in Richmond on the night of
February l, at which time the date
of the Republican convention at
Lynchburg was fixed. SenatorsJ. $.
Noel, who conducted the prosecution
of Judge Rhea, had Subpoenaes issued
Tor these two men as witnesses in the
Rhea Investigation. Senator Noel,
upon invitation, refused To introduce
them as witesses. They, nevertheless,
although having come to Richmond
as members of the Republican COM
mittee, drew out of the treasury of
the State three days attendance and
mileage, amounting To Sol. 90 in the
aggregate.
l.. l.. Summers, Republican col
lector of internal revenue for the
Western District, although summon
ed, refused TO come To Richmond UNI
til the meeting of the Republican
committee, of which he was MEM
Der. He never reported TO any official
of the Assembly that he was ready to
testify, and was never discharged by
the committee, but he did apply to
the clerk of the Senate for his mile
age and per diem.

Judge Rhea,s CONFIRMATION

The confirmation by the General
Assembly OF Judge Rhea's nomina-
tion 10 be a member Of the State Cor
poration Commission will create no
surprise. The nature of the inyestiga-
ton, and other circumstances, pretty
well determined the result of the in
quiry, which is not different from
what was predicted i'm the beginning.
Besides, il has been for years an in
eNorable habit at Richmond TO ratifv
party appointments made by aDemo-
cratic executive, unless such appoint
ments outraged senatorial preroga-
tive; and it was scarcely To be ex-
pected, or even hoped, that enough
Democratic legislators could be i'm
duced II break away from an habit
ual practice To Illustrate the conlir-
nation of Judge Rhca. The surpris-
ingly large number of Democrats
who did disregard what was an ILL
ogical appeal to party loyalty, aud
did decline utterly, under oath and
i'm conscience, to sanction the APP
pointment of Judge Rhea for a posi-
ton of great judicial possibility,
tells story of such palpable signili-
cnace as to need no specific interpre-
tatiOn.
As for Judge Rhea himself, il is
greatly TO be desired, from every
point of view, that he may so admin
lister his Office as To disappoint his
enemies and Justify the confident
predictions of his friends. Lynch
