For Goo Roads.

The election on the question of is.
suing 1864. 600 of bonds for road i'm
provement in Lee county was carried
on Tuesday by about one thousand
votes.
This, with the exception of the
enormous issue carried in Wise coun-
ty, of 500, 600 is the largest ever
voted by any Virginia county at any
one time.
Scott county will vote next week
on$300. 900 worth of bonds. 1t is said
that the outcome is somewhat doubt
ful there, although the advocates of
the proposition are much encouraged
and predict victory. The three South
west counties, if the bond issue is au-
thorized in all of them, will be far
in the lead in this State in good
roads.
Another county in that section has
got into the game. This is Smyth.
where an election will be held De-
cember 22nd for the issuance of $50. =
600 of bonds to build roads in Rich
Valley magisterial district alone.
This district will pay the principal
and interest if the issue is carried,
although the bonds must be issued by
the county. 1t is proposed with this
money to macadamize the road from
the mouth of Cove Creek in the town
of Saltville, and to permanently i'm
prove sundry other roads.

INTEREST GROWING
in THE CORN SHOW
Indications Are That Atten-
dance on the 18th Will Be
Representative.

The corn show, set for December
18th, is growing on the farmers as
the time approaches. From present
indications there will be a fine ex-
hibit of fine corn. Those who bring
corn should bear in mind that big
corn is not always best corn. The
depth of grain, soundness, shape of
ear, how filled out, are the main
points.
Of course, other things being
equal, the big corn takes best. Taze-
well people like big corn, and, with
proper seed selection Tazewell could
excel any other county in the state,
and perhaps in the south, on yield per
acre, straight through.
Don't bring less than ten ears-the
more the better show. The corn which
has been brought to this office, some
of it at least, will not be shown for
a prize, 1t was not carefully select
ed, and other selections should be
made. There will be several instruc-
tive addresses made, and every far
mer should try to be present whether
he shows his corn or not. The hour set
is 10 O'Clock sharp.

4 MORE BALLOTS
Than SHOULD BE
Dickinson Paper Charges
Fraud BY Clintwood Clerks
and Is Called Down.
Editor Clinch Valley News.


Sir: At this late date that able and
intelligent paper, The Clintwood.
Dlckenson county, Journal, edited by
one, Chas. b. Francis, unearths a
stupendous fraud, or "defraud, " as
his most excellent editorship would
call it, which he charges was perpe-
trated by the election clerks, ut the
Clintwood voting place. against Bas-
com. The great editor opened his
mouth and let fall therefrom these
words:
-Four names were left Off the poll
books at Chase -Clintwood-
where Slemp received 9S majority
and should have had 100, four ballots
drawn out. 3 for Slemp and for
Stuart. Do you see the trick? Let
the people all over the 9th district
take notice
Later on ne opened wide that same
mouth and asked that some one Gig
ure out how two election clerks at
'Clintwood i'm the last election could
make the same mistake and leave off
of the poll books four names and
both exactly the same names" Th0n
he wishes to know if "a free people
will suffer such jugglery again. A"
(These quotations are verbatim ct
literatim
Now, AS l was one OF the clerks
referred TO. C. A. Neel being the
other, i will say that if that able
and intelligent editor means TO leave
the impression that there was any
agreement between the clerks To com
nit any fraud, then his statement is
an unmitigated falsehood The fact
is, that upon counting, there were
four more ballots i'm the box than
there were names on the poll books.
and the only thing to be done was TO
blindfold one of the election Judges
and let him draw the extra ballots
from the box, as the law directs.
This was done fairly, and in the pres
ence of several Republicans who were
present to represent Slemp, not ono
of whom objected. OF course. the
writer had n speculative theory as to
how the extra ballots came, but will
say nothing farther than that the
clerks were not responsible for them.
This accusation from that able and
intelligent paper bears no reason up
on its face. Do not the unsophsti-
Gated see at a glance that it would at
most have been only taking chances
Who could know whether the ballots
To be drawn out were to be for Stuart
or Slemp? Clerks who would figure
on gaining votes for Stuart by this
means would be about on a par with
the man who was going to see TO it
that the Thousands of dsfranchsed
voters of the Ninth should at the
polls resent the indignities thrust up
on them by Henry G. Stuart.
Four names left off the poll books !
And three of whom that able and in
telligent editor knows were Republi-
cans and whose identical ballots were
drawn from the box by blindfolded
election Judge, and in the presence
of interested Republicans, who offer
ed no objections to the proceedings.

The editor has gathered his corn
crop, and fed good deal of it to
the hogs. The corn was the subject of
much interets on account of its great
height, measuring about 10 feet on
an average. 1t was an entirely new
variety in this section, never ha wing
been grown here before, so far as can
be ascertained, west of the Blue
Ridge. 1t is a late maturing variety,
as are all prolific strains. This acre
had about 160 days, the late fall
being especially favorable. Notwith-
standing, at least one fourth of it
failed to mature. Measured as care
fully as possible in a flour barrel,
we'll heaped, not shaken, the acre
produced S4 bushels. About SO bush
els of this is fine, sound corn, fair
sample will be shown at the corn
show on the 18th. After this corn be-
comes acclimated there seems TO be
no reason why it should not be grown
here profitably. 1t grows from one to
three ears on every stalk, averaging
oOOoS - CalSt anu Va a Size easily Cdl-
en- by cattle-nice, smoothe, sound
corn, and an amount of fodder aston
ishing. AS a silage corn it perhaps
has no superior. The editor has had
good time cultivating it and taking
care of it. He did it all himself after
it was planted, CT May 9th. 1t was
cultivated five times about two inches
deep. The rows were checked about
three feet each way, and during the
entire summer it was absolutely clear
and free of weeds or grass. The en-
tire cost of cultivation, manure, fer
tilizer and all, at regular market
price, was a little under $35. At the
last plowing, July 25th, part of the
land was seeded to alfalfa, and the
rest to crimson clover. Got fine
stand, and it looks promising now.
The EDITORS apology, if any is need
ed, for saying so much about his
corn, is tha many people from differ
ent sections have inquired about it,
and are anxious to know how it yield
ed.
