HERE'S OURS

The Culpepper Exponent, "acced-
ing TO the request of local contem-
poraIy," declares its position on the
liquor question, and suggests that
"all participants in the discussion dc
likewise, so that we all may know
where stands every one else The
readers of the Cilnch Valley News
know that the paper has stood from
the beginning for local option, and
the abolition of the liquor business,
as now conducted. Under proper re-
striction and regulations we would
have no objection TO the sale of liq-
uor, but rs now conducted this paper
will be found against the traffic all
the time. This paper is not in favor
of state wide prohibition, but, as
between wet and dry ticket would
vote dry every time, preferring TO
err, if at all, OH that side. However,
if local option and home rule is TO
be continually defeated through I'M
surmountable technicalities-if the
saloon men are, by the use of all sorts
OF means TO continue TO defeat and
annul and override the wishes and
the will Of the majority of the peo-
pie, then this paper will join the
majority and take up its little cud-
gel and do its best to promote the
cause OF statewide prohibition as
the only remedy. So here is our po-
sition, if any one is interested TO
know it.

A QUESTION FOR THE COUNCIL

The following order has been issued
and posted by the Town Council:
There must he no ashes, tin cans or
trash of any kind thrown in any
street or alley in this town"
The question is, where are you going
to throw it? The farmers won't per-
nit ashes and tIash to be dumped on
their farms. The supervisors won't
allow ii in the road. They VOL t
allow it dumped in Clinch River.
You can't burn ashes and tin cans.
So, where must it be dumped? Must
every citizen build a house on his lot
to hold trash, ashes and tin cans?"
Will the council or somebody else
answer this burning question, What
are we to do with our trash, ashes
and tin cans?

Mr.. TUCKER TO THE BOOK

The Culppeper Exponent is calling
Mr.. Tucker TO the book on the ques-
tion of compulsory education, and to
his connection with the Ogden move
ment rs one of the "FieId Agents of
the Southern Education Board, par
ty of cOnceited philanthropists," at a
salary of $500 per month, and adds
that Booker Il. Washington is anoth-
ell "Field Agent" of this. same board
and other questions are put squarely
to Mr.. Tucker, and we suppose he
will answer in due time.
AS to compulsory education, Mr..
Tucker has followers in this state,
but the local option feature of the
question, which Mr.. Tucker seems to
ignore, is the only popular feature of
the question in this section. We be-
lieve in local option all the way
through and all the way round, ex-
cept under certain conditions, which
need not be enumerated here.

THE PESKY TECHNICALLY"

Every local option election which
has been set aside in this state so
far, we believe, has been set aside on
some technicality. The recent Roa-
noke election, the election in Poca-
hontas last year, are cases in point.
Each of these elections, carried fairly
by majority of the voters, was set
aside by the judges, purely, they
said, OH technical Irregularities. The
will of the people is often defeated
by technicalities. We recall that a
few years ago, Judge Rhea lost his
seat i'm Conrgess which he could have
retained had he pressed a technical.
ity." He saw that Mr.. Slemp had
been elected by a majIily of the
votesI and would not press a techni-
cal irregularity, which, it was said
Mt the time, would have given him
his seat. 1t is true that the will of
the people is sometimes defeated
through a strict adherence TO the
technicalities. 1t is true, on the
other hand, that every law should be
technically adhered to. The letter as
well as the spirit must be complied
with, else the door is opened TO all
sorts of loose, wild liberties and inter-
pretations of law, and hence fraud
and crime. If q law cannot be COM
piled with technically, it should be
or amended. The line was

A Dry Victory

The people of Roanoke have said
by their vote that they did not wish
the open saloon. They lost on a tech
nicality. VIII not that arouse the
friends of prohibition everyw here to
greater eXertions, and will it not
create sympathy with those who
do not thinkas they do the about
practicability of prohibition?
Far better would it have been had
these "wets" of Roanoke submitted
to the wishes as expressed by a ma
Jorlty of the voters and given pro-
hibition fair trial. A resetion
to the sane conciliatory methods had
appeared in the State but when a
case is lost by mere technicalities.

SHALL THERE BE A STATE
CONVENTION?

The Democratic newspapers are di-
vided on the state convention ques-
ton. We see no objection in the
world to state convention, provid-
ed ii is not packed. On the other
hand, there seems TO be good reasons
why the Democrats of the state
should come together, exchange views
and adopt a platform expressive of
the views and wishes of the democra-
cy of the state. For the nomination
of candidates the primary is all right
and sufficient, perhaps, but a
platform can be declared only i'm con-
vention assembled, composed of the
delegated representatives OF the peo-
pie. Platform fiIst, candidate next.
Not candidates first and PLATFORM
next. y state convention may change
the entire looks of things. Who
knows how the Democrats of the
state stand on the issue? Let n con-
vention be called, or else, say TO Judge
Mann and Mr.. Tucker, "make your
platoon and we will take the one we
like best, and by so acting turn

The Largest Ear Not the Best

Tn erroneous idea that the largest
ear of corn is the best ear is costing
the south millions of dollars annual
~. If other things were equal the
largest ear would be the best, but
other things are not equal. A very
large ear means only one ear to the
stalk, and one ear to stalk means a
smaller yield than when there are
two ears to stalk; for two ears, such
as it is practicable to produce on one
stalk, yield more shelled corn than
tie one large ear, and hence mo e
corn per acre. Progressive Farmer.

The AnaniaS Tree

Taking about big trees, - said a
visiting member from Local No. 3,
Cove Creek:
Some hunters i'm our neigborhood
went out coon hunting one night and
the hounds "treed" a coon in one of
these immense poplars ana when
they could not find way 10 shake
him out they decided To wait Till
day light To locate him. When morn
ing came they looked for the game
but were not able TO see il, but on
close examination they saw the tree
was hollow, and there we're cracks
up and down the sides, and by
watching close they could see them
open and close, and il dawned upon
tue hunters that there were SO many
coons in the tree that as they breath
ed il caused the sides of il To expend
and contract, opening and closing
the cracks rs they breathed.
From the Ananias Club at North
Tazewell, comes the following:
Some inquiry was made among
the members about oldtime back logs
in the country when they were boys.
One member reported that me cut a
black gum back log once that burned
four weeks. Another said that the
cut one once from buckeye which
burnt all winter, and in the spring
he threw it out in the back yard and
young buckeyes grew on it that sum-
mer. Meeting Adjourned
