ing and certifying the same shall be al
lowed two cents for each ten words,
counting initials as words, for the first
copy, and one-half a cent for each ten
words for all other copies required to
be made"
When the bill making this amend
ment was introduced in the General As
sembly and referred to a committee,
thoughtful. good citizen in Tazewell
wrote to friend in Richmond and re-
quested him to call the attention of the
committee to the dangerous provisions
of the amendment, and pointing out the
greatly increased cost it would entail
upon the public treasury by so largely
increasing the fees of the clerks. We
are informed that the matter was
brought to the attention of the commit
tee, certainly to its chairman, but the
job had been ordered. had to be put
through, and was accordingly done. The
adoption of this amendment into law
has placed an additional burden upon
the people of the State to the extent
of nearly fifty thousand dollars 1t has
increased the fees of the clerks more
than three fold for the work done, when
the fees paid under the original Act
were more than abundant compensa-
ton. This job has brought waste of
about fifty thousand dollars of the peo-
pies money. The News Leader speak
ing of the Republicans said: They
charge extravaganza and fail to show
where dollar has been wasted or mis-
applied"
How about this showing Mr.. News
Leader?
And what about that twenty-five hun
dred dollars that is paid annually for
the luxury of Commissioner of State
hospitals? This office is worse than a
sinecure, it is really a nuisance, but it
gives place to member of the tribe.
We will give an additional bill of par
ticulars next week.

SOUNDED LIKE A CONFESSION
Deacon's Well-Meant Attempt to
Lead Choir Almost Broke Up
Church Services.

However regrettablo 1t may be, the
ordinary church choir Is not noted for
harmony. except, as may apply in
some cases, in their vocal efforts. Gen
orally, too, the much used French
saying. "cherohez Ia femme" will To-
cate the trouble, or the beginning OF
1t, at least. But then, where does a
mixed organization exist in which
woman does not take a sweet delight
In setting the broth boiling once in a
while. Just to see the water bubble?
It's part Of her irresistible nature
she just can't help it.
The spinster contrslto had made
some remarks about the hat Of the
tenor's wife, and the petty ruction
that it started in the choir world on
Monday had not been smoothed over
at the close OF the week, and Sunday
found the choir loft empty. The min
lister was obviously displeased, but
without comment he arose and an
nounced the opening hymn, which he
at once began reading, commencing
81 love to steal a while away" Sc
lected possibly with some application
to the absent choir.
Lacking the trained voices to lead
the singing, one Of the worthy dea-
cons volunteered to throw himself in
to the breach, and he proceeded to
lead. He struck the tune at such an
angle that 1t was evident he intended
to hit only the high places, and when
he had got so far as ct love to steal"
he broke down. He pitched it
second time and again broke down at
steal, because he was away too low.
Nothing daunted, however, he started
In again and sang "T love to steal
and again he went down as before.
The audience became so amused at
this point that suppressed giggles
threatened to break up the sessions.

and solemn dignity, said:

HAS GOT THE HABIT.

We take the following from the news
columns of the Richmond Journal of the
18th instant:
up to noon today neither John
Thompson Brown, defeated candidate
for Commissioner of Agriculture, nor
Samuel W. Williams, victorious candi-
date for Attorney General. had COM
piled with that provision of the Banks
dale law which requires those partici-
pating in elections to file with the Sec
Rotary of the Commonwealth an item
lied account of their campaign ex-
penses.
Nobody supposes for an moment
that either man has anything to conceal,
but all the same, there is some COM
ment on the oversight of Judge Will
Hams, who, above all others, should be
strict in complying with the law, since
he will be selected to one of the chief
legal positions of the State"
This is not the first time that Judge
Williams has failed to comply with the
provisions of an important law. Three
years ago he was making stump speech
es for the Democratic party and declar-
ing that no man who failed or refused
to pay his poll taxes was worthy to ex-
ercise suffrage. At the very time he
was so announcing he had been posted
on the insolvent delinquent tax list by
the treasurer of Wythe county for fail
ing and refusing to pay his poll tax. He
chose to offer in explanation of his de-
linquency that he had awaited himself of
the benevolent provision IN the State
Constitution which was intended to pro-
tect the suffrage of poor Confederate
soldiers. We wonder if Judge Williams
has paid the delinquent poll taxes. If
not, the stay law only applies for three
years, and the treasurer of Wythe
county should collect them by law.

ADDITIONAL BILL OF PARTICULARS,

In response to the urgent demands of
the Richmond News Leader and the
Lynchburg News, last week we publish
ed bill of particulars in support of the
claim made by Virginia Republicans
that the Democratic party in the State
had been outrageously extravagant and
wasteful of the revenues of the Com
monwealth. So far our contemporaries
have made no reply or defence to that
bill. In conformity with our promise
made last week, we will file an addition
al bill this week, and continue to do so
each week until we have fully satisfied
the craving of our contemporaries and
all others who hunger for information
on these lines.
1t is provided in the constitution that
the county and city treasurers shall
each year make out list of voters who
have paid the necessary poll taxes for
voting at the next election. This has
entailed heavy expense and is one of
the most objectionable features of the
poll tax qualification for voting.
At the session of the General Assem-
bly, of 1904 an Act was passed and ap-
proved March 10th of that year to pro-
vide for carrying out the provision of
the constitution for making and posting
the lists of all persons who have paid
their poll taxes and providing compen-
sation therefor. This Act provided
that:
The clerk, THAT is the clerk of the
city or county,, within ten days from
the receipt of the list, shall make and
certify sufficient number of copies
thereof. and shall deliver one copy for
each voting place in his county or city
to the sheriff of the county or sergeant
of the city.
For making and certifying such
LETS the clerk shall be allowed two
cents for each ten words, counting
initials as words, for the first copy,
and the actual and reasonable costs of
printing or otherwise making in the
cheapest way obtainable the other
copies which he is required to make"
Under the provisions of this Act the
cost of making and certifying these
copies was, perhaps, about twenty-five
or thirty thousand dollars. This was
pretty large slice from the public funds.
But the Machine wanted to throw some
sop to the clerks of the counties and
cities, and, at the session of the General
Assembly in 1908, the law for making
and certifying the poll tax lists was
amended in the interest of the clerks,
and the amendment thereto reads as
follows:
For making and certifying such lists
the treasurer shan be allowed three

The Problem Of VaoabordIsm.


What we shall do with the dere-
licts is great and increasing prob
lem. 1t has not been settled salts
factorily in any great community.
An official statement recently issued
is 70 the effect that many thousands
Of former good workmen have be-
come so enamored OF life of idle
ness during the last Is months that
they refuse to return to work now
that occasion offers. We could wish
that the statement were untrue. 1t
is lamentable II 1t is correct What
every human being needs is some
stimulus, some mental food as well
as q care for creature wants The
actual necessities Of life are few. The
comforts are increasingly expensive
1t will require more wisdom than is
now available to establish a system
which shall be wholly satisfactory.
but 1t does seem as If we might be
making more progress.
