Hasn't there been enough proof
that Bluefield needs better fire-fight-
ing equipment?--Th Telegraph
Yes. the proof is abundant, and
we are glad that the present city
council included the sum of $4,000
in their estimate for the 1909 levy.
Four thousand dollars was paid
for a lot last spring for the fire de-
partment. We are inclined to the
opinion that It would have been
better to have used this money for
buying a hook and ladder and other
equipment The Norfolk and West

A POPULAR MOVE.

When we began our crusade
against corrupt and degrading con-
ditions in Mcdowell county we did
not expect the hearty ana enthusias.
tic support that we have received.
Even the most r2mote section; of
mcdowell co.. MY are rallying TO the
support CT The Leader and express
ing their gratitude by ordering it's
daily visits. Telephone orders to-
day have reac ed total of SO cop
les and the nails have brought sew
eral more. A postal from Eckman
says: will send a dozen more
subscriptions today or tomorrow.
Gentlemen from WEIGH, Elkhorn,
Hemphill and Northfork have been
among the callers who have sub
scribed for the Leader. We feel
encouraged. Our course has the
hearty endorsement of the people
without regard to politics. White
Republicans are just as far from en-
dorsing the conditions that have ex-
listed there as the Democrats and
most of them recognize that there
is a remedy.

makes boast that the blood OF the
sunny South courses through his
veins. We would like for the Dam-
ocrats to take Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Taft over to Keystone and let
them meet the Republican boss of
Mcdowell county" Mr.. Taft was
not at the convention in Chicago
which nominated him and Calhoun
did not demand the honor OF being
a member of the notification com.
mittee. SO II is possible that Mr..
Tart has never had the distinguished
honor OF meeting the boss OF the
biggest Republican county in tia
state.

Be 1t said to the honor of the Re-
publican jury commissioners of Mer-

the name of negro in the jury box
but have consistently opposed It..
The law requires that the juries be
made up OF men Of character and
good judgment. The commissioners
In this county have tried to per.
form their duties. There are edu-
Gated colored men in Mercer county
who uphold the law. There is more
reason why negroes should be ex-
cluded from jury service in McDow-
ell county than in Mercer. Here
they are numerous, but not In the
majority. We have no negro polit-
ical bosses. In Mcdowell county
the worst element Of the negro race
is I'm politics and the people have
had taste Of the carpet-bag condi-
tions that existed in the south in
the early seventies. The judges OF
the courts in Mcdowell county have
