HALLEWs COMET VISIBLE
May Be Seen on Clear Nights With
Field Glass

Cambridge, Mass, March ll.-Hal-
leys comet may now be seen on
nights when conditions are favorable
with the aid OF an ordinary field glass
The most favorable time to look for
it is between $50 and 1880 p. m,
with the glass elevated somewhat
above where the sun sets. The Har-
yard observatory forces have the
wanderer focused nightly on their
| big telescopes and some interesting
! photographs Of its development are
being made
Prof e. c. Pickering, director OF
the Harvard Observatory, says:
The comet is at present in the
twilight region 1t is in the line Of
the sun, and its brightness is dim
med by the lustre Of the great cen.
ter Of the solar system. Besides it
has not yet attained its greatest size.
! When it makes its transverse of the
sun it will have attained its maxi
mum brilliancy. That will be on
May is. 1t will be visible all through
April but at its brightest in May.
About that time, if clouds do not
obscure it, it will be a dazzling sight
About a third of the heavens will be
colored with fiery gold, its great
flashes Of light will play from one
arc OF the heavens to another and the
scenes will be remembered for gen.
erations. Halley's comet has been
noted for its brilliant displays
There is absolutely no danger tC
the earth from the comet. The earth
is going to shoot through it's tail like
a cannon ball through our atmos
phere And We shall not notice The
fact that we are travelling through a
comets tail The idea that any harm
will come from the poisonous gases
is ridiculous. The gas in the tail is
cyanogen. In order to become dan
gerous it, would have 10 come into
contact with large mass of hydro
gen and that is practically all locked
up in the water
When the comet is nearest the
earth we shall be 100000 miles
away and that is far enough to be out
; of mischief. OF course, the tail will
reach us and we shall pass through
it, But we have done that before
without any damage and we shall dc
that again

SHERMAN ACT OR
REPEAL II
Department Of Justice Files
Brief Against Oil Trust
ASKS FOR DISSOLUTION
Letter Written by Former President
Refu.ing Any Agreement With
New York Politician

Washington. March Either
the Sherman act should be repealed
or it should be enforced in man
ner TO make the people respect it."
With this declaration of its guiding
principle, the department Of Justice
files with the supreme court of the
United States 1900 page brief in
support Of its petition that the Stan
dard Oil company be dissolved The
brief will be the foundation of the
governments oral argument at the
hearing of the case next Monday,
One Of the two volumes of the brief
is an analysis of testimony taken in
the circuit court for the eastern dis
trict of Missouri, which decreed that
the Standard be dissolved
The government declares that this
shows rebates and discriminatory
rates received by the Standard Oil
combination, not only during its for
native period but during the last 10
years whereby the Standard was en-.
abled to bring large part of the
concerns into the combination and
to crush out and eliminate from the
field Of competition the principal
part of the balance"
It is claimed that it shows "a sys-
TEN of lowering the prices where
competitors are doing business, below
the cost of the product, while keeping
up or raising the prices in other parts
of the country until the competitor
is either eliminated or his business
brought within a compass so that the
Standard OH company can control it,
| OF obtaining secret information as to
competitive business, largely through
bribing railway employees and using
that secret information to procure
| countermanding of orders ii indepen-
dents and to facilitate their system of
price cutting and oppression; OF the
use of so-called bogus independent
companies whose operations are pre-
datory and oppressive, principally
used to drive out competitors and
various other means"
I'VE do not wish to be understood
as discouraging enterprises says the
government. or as taking position
against legitimate competition but II
the Sherman act means anything in
this country it means a monopoly ac-
quired by such methods of competit-
ion as this Unless il is enforced,
the small corporation or individual
who wishes to engage in business
will have absolutely no opportunity
at all"
In many districts the Standard Oil
| company has an absolute monopoly. -
In the second volume are a sum.
mary of facts and brief of the law
"The oft-rapeated argument that
this construction of the law prevents
tie formation of partner ships and the
legitimate consolidation Of business
enterprise" say the government, lis
fallacious. for the reason that such
construction has no application
where an enterprise is formed with
the honest and legitimate intent tc
pursue a lawful business and not &c
beyond the bounds of legitimate com
bination or directly or substantially
suppress competition"

There are cheaper laundry soaps than
Fels-Naptha but no other SO economical.
Sounds odd, doesn't it2
But it's true.
FelS-Naptha is more economical be-
cause it saves time, saves work, saves the
cost of fuel and makes your clothes wear
twice as long.
FeIs- Naptha cleans your clothes in
cool or lukewarm water in summer or
winter without boiling or hot water to
weaken their fabric, and without hard
rubbing to wear them into holes.
1t takes half as long and requires
much less work than the old way.
Try it next waShday.
See how white, and clean, and sweet
Fels-Naptha makes your clothes.
Follow carefully the directions on the
red and green wrapper.

COURT RENDERS AN
IMPORTANT DECISION
ON MINING STOCKS
udge Averil Finds That Certificates Cannot
be Attached on the Books Of Mining
Company.

as stockholders meeting; the col
lection of an assessment, the pay
ment of dividend, and the like,
shall not be delayed or put into 1
questionable state BY the holders
OF unregistered stock The whole
difficulty arises out of this reten-
ton of hold upon the stock by
the corporation itself, a hold that
is necessary only as to assessable
stock so far as it affects the sta
tus of the certificates as property.
In any event it concerns only the
corporation except as to stock sold
fol non-payment of assessments.
1t does not at all CT ncern the pub
lie except to the extent that stock
is assessable. Any attempt of
Legislature to extend this hold in
favor of creditors or otherwise
must be treated by the courts as
in measure opposed to public poll
icy and therefore construed strictly
against such extension. Therefore,
in accord with the modern view,
shares of stock will be considered
in this opinion as personal prop
erty, the ownership of which will
be apparent in the holder of the
certificate bona fide, except to the
extent that the corporation must
retain hold upon such stock for
it's own advantage; and that such a
hold will be limited to the neces-
stiles of the corporation and to
positive legislative enactment.
Our general corporation law was
passed in 1908. An important case
was decided by the Idaho supreme
court in December, 1902 maple
ton bank versus Standard, II Pac.
119), and another by the West
Virginia supreme court of Appeals
in December, 1904 (Lipscomb ver-
sus Condor, 40 S. e. 1929, both of
which are reviewed in 81 l.. r. A.,
656-694 The Idaho statute is al
most word for word the same as
ours down to point where ours
requires the surrender of the old
certificate before transfer can be
be made on the books except in
cases of loss or destruction of the
original In Idaho the books OF
| the corporation are open to the in
spection of stockholders and credit
ors of the corporation, not to stran-
gers or personal creditors of stock
holders; in other words, they are
not open to the general public, and
are therefore not public records
and do not give constructive OF
. lother notice to anyone outside OF
the corporation except its creditors
: The statute was not intended tc
protect the public, or private cred
itor of a stakeholder, but was in
: tended for the protection of the
corporation, it's members and cred
itors. And in case of a pledge o.

valid against the interest of thu

Virginia Farm Note s

Many distinguished speakers made
addresses at the session of the Virgin
in Education Conference held i'm Rich
mond last week, among them being
Dr.. Walter Page, Editor of Worlds
Work, of New York; DR.. +. A. AL
derman, President of the University
of Virginia; Ex-Governor Montague
J. II. Buford, Executive Secretary of
the Association; Hon. j. ID. Eggle-
ston, State Superintendent of Public
Instruction and others.
The session was a most successful
one, nearly 2,2OO persons register
ing, nearly all of whom are engaged
in some phase of educational work.
A feature of the session was the ad-
vocating OF teaching agriculture to
the students in the public schools in
the country districts. 1t is stated also
that the Virginia Polytechnic Insti-
tute will shortly establish a system
of movable agricultural schools, ia
/ go into the country communities to
teach, and that institute work will
also be carried on by the Department
of Agriculture.
The Demonstrations agents in Vir-
ginia of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture held their annual
meeting this week at Richmond. Ir
the neighborhood of twenty-five dem
onstrators were present, and a most
interesting meeting was held.
A movement is on foot to drain the
swamp lands of this State, and OF
| the 18th of December meeting will
be held in Richmond to discuss plan.
to deepen the channels of wate
course and to dig lateral chains t,
convey the water to the streams.
1t is estimated by the Department
of Agriculture that there are at pres
ent considerably more than a million
acres of swamp land in Virginia
now practically worthless, but tina
with proper drainage would be wort
from seventy five TO one hundred dol
lars per acre.

Astonishing a Facts

There are %, 600 cases of tubercu-
losis in Virginia, and one thousand
in Tazewell county. Have you bought
any of the Red Cross SCals, the pro-
ceeds from which sale 90 towards
fighting the dreaded disease in Vir-
ginia?
The Times Dispatch reported that
of the smaller towns in Virginia
Tazewell was i'm the lead in the sale
of Red Cross stamps. Mrs. I'D. Har-
risson, who has charge of the sale in
Tazewell. has received, during the
sale twenty thousand stamps, which
she hopes to sell before the first of
January. Orders from the county
for the seals have not been as numer-
Gus az Mrs. HARRISON would have
liked. 1t is not too late now To order,
but don't put il off, as the sales will
be discontinued the first Of the New
Year.

That Town Ordinance

Notices are posted by the Sar-
geant which state that the town has
passed an ordinance about shooting
fireworks on the street during Christ
mas, and that penalty will be i'm
posed for its violation. The notice
does not state what the ordinance is.
According to that notice the
boys can shoot as much as
they please, just so they do not vio-
late the ordinance. The notice reads
"There has been an ordinance passed
on shooting fireworks on the streets
of Tazewell. Any one violating this
ordinance will be fined $1.00. John
S. Thompson, Sergeant.
We don't know what this "ordi-
nance" is, but hope it does not shut
out the boys entirely. The shooting
of bombs is a nuisance, as a rule,
and so are children sometimes, but
this does not mean that we should
have neither. The boys ought to have
one day, anyhow, and if this ordi-
nance is absolutely prohibitive we
hope the council will reconsider.

Several Suspended

Within the past few weeks several
weekly newspapers in the Southwest
have SUSPENDED publication because
they were unable to make collections.
They were carrying a large number
of subscribers on their books which
were unpaid-many of these sub
scribers were rich men, who were
able to pay any amount, but just
didn't, and the editor had to
carry them, and did so until he could
wag along no further.
1t is impossible to buy paper, pay
printers, pay for lights, coal, power
and bread and meat without money,
and every editor should and must COL
lect his bills or bust And yet,
some mel with money in their pock.
cts will ask the editor to carry them,
without interest, from year to year
and the editor who does so is courtins

Only A Tramp

A tramp, whose name is not known
has been in the county several weeks,
seeking shelter and food, but refus-
ing to take money. He has applied at
several homes in Tazewell for lodging
and food. but refuses to take money,
saying that he is doing the Lord S
work, and that he is not permitted to
take money. Travellers from Burke's
Garden, the cold days of the past
week, state that the traveller was
seen on the mountain trudging his
,ay along barefooted. The man is
evidently crazy, and should be arrest
ed and taken care of by the authori-
ties
