STATEWIDE ELECTION NEXT
YEAR

The Richmond Times Dispatch
has taken toll of the members of
the next General Assembly, and
finds that IA majority are opposed to
any liquor legislation looking to an
election next year on State wide Pro-
hibition.
The fact that majority of the
members of the next two houses of
the Assembly a:e not in favor of a
State wide election next year is sig
nicliant only so far as II goes. The
question was not an issue in the last
campaign, or ut least, was not made
an issue by any open declration or nc
ton OF any meeting or candidate. so
far rs we knew. In some counties
candidates were voted for or against
by voters here and there rs they un-
derstood the candidate TO be for or
against local option and the Iiauor
question generally, but SO far as we
know the question was not made n
district issue and therefore, the oDin.
ions now held by the members of the
next General Assembly are not To be
taken as conclusive, one way or the
other. suppose, for instance. that
great and strong petitions should 90
up To the Legislature asking for an
election, what attitude then would
these lawmakers assume? We take
it, that these gentlemen have only
expressed personal preference or opin-
ion and hold themselves ready TO
obey and carry out the wishes of
theiI constituents. Certainly this
should he their position. ANY man
unwilling 10 carry out or try to car
ry through the wishes OF IA majority
OF the people should not offer HIM
sci for election as a representative
of the people.
1t is generally understood in these
parts, that through the Anti-SaIoon
League, petitions will be gotten up
all over the state, asking for an eIec-
ton on Statewide prohibition, and
II this is done, there will b an elec.
ton, and It will be found that these
REPRESENTATIVES who have been swift
to express themselves will be nm
against it, and it is not impossible
at all TO predict what course thew
will take.
If this question is 10 come up i'm
The near future why not now? 1t
must be settled sooner or later, and
the sooner the better. The people
Of the state are determined To try il
Let's try it quick and get rid of il.
If we must, and it looks as if we
must. After all, Statewide Probi-
billion is only local option on IA Wild
er scale, and it's the people ruling
after all, so let it come, and be done
with it.

LAST SATURDAYS TRAGEDY

The suicide of the unfortunate man,
McNeese, last Saturday is only one
OF several serious and fatal tragedies
which could and ought TO have been
prevented by an arrest, and coniine-
ment in Jail. That the man Me
Nesse was possessed by some hallu-
cinations, and that his mind was Sc
riOusly and dangerously affected,
was clearly shown and brought to
light after he was dead. There are
numbers of people who say that they
knew from the mans talk on Friday
and Saturday, and perhaps before,
THAT he was crazy. 1t is reported
on the streets that he even applied to
several officials here for protection
fro n an angry mob which he i'm
agined was pursuing him, To kill
him. The officers believed him TO be
crazy but not one of them seemed TO
think they had the legal right TO
lock him up. If the law does not
permit an officer TO take charge of
a man whom he has every reason TO
believe is irresponsible and therefore
dangerous, then, there is something
wrong with the law, and an officer
has perfect right To make law TO
fit the case. and would be upheld
in any court. y few years ago sew
eml young men, drunk but not dis
orderly were allowed the freedom
of the streets for the reason that the
sergeant thought them HARMLESS. -
and he had no warrant. in n very
short time one of them was killed on
the street, which could have been
averted by an arrest.
This paper has more than once
contended and urged that a druken
man, or an irresponsible man from
any cause should be locked upTfor
his own and other peoples protection.
and every now and then this opin.
ion is justified and enforced by some
fearful tragedy.
Sad and NJ fortunate MS this sui
eide was il is almost II wonder that
the man did not kill one or more Of
the people whom he was with.

GOOD ROADS

IL has been shown rs plaialy rs
black and white can make il that
we are now in Pulaksi district spend
ing almost enough in temporary re-
pairs to grade and macadamize all
the roads in the district. Roads
are going to come sooner or later
just rs surely as the world goes for
ward and there is no reason at all
why we of the present should not
enjoy them instead of merely .,ream
ing of the time when our children
will"
The above is taken from a letter
In the Southwest Times. What is
true of Pulaski is prominently true
of Tazewell and perhaps other coun-
ties in the State. Take TazeweH for
instance: During the last TWENTY
years this county has spent in round
mum bers, $50, 600 and now has n few
miles of McAdam in Burke's Garden
and around town, nearly all of which
is in bad shape, and must be soon
made new. In other words, the
county has spent $3.50, 600 and still
has no roads. If this amount, sup
plemented by like amount, had
been available at one time and iudic-
iarly expended, the county would
now have good roads, and much of
Ihe original sum paid hack. 1t
seems clear that the county has been
an unwise aud wastefuI
policy. The tax payers will get tired |
after awhile throwing away their
patching bad roads and fill
ng up mud holes.

course, but good size, well filled and
matured. Three-even two-smaII
ears are preferable To one large one,

Some cattle growers are trying hard
TO produce small ears without dimin-
ishing the yield per acre by growing
two or more ears on stalk. The fod-
der is also better. The largest corn
is not always The best, by anymeans.
