How 10 Sell Real Estate.

Home seekers who have come to Vir-
glnla In response to advertisements of
fering land for sale are complaining that
real estate dealers have been advancing
the price of land beyond that advertised.
The result has been, says Mr.. F. H. La
Baume, Agricultural & Industrial Agent
of the Norfolk & Western Railway, that
people have gone away and bought land
IN other localities. In speaking of this
matter, Mr.. LaBaume says:
Il do not propose personally, to give
up or to relax my activity in the least,
because our Virginia free holders are
so short sighted as to "kin the goose
that is laying the golden egg" Virginia
lands have legitimate market value at
prices averaging from $500 to $25. 90
per acre for ordinary lands in middle,
Southside and tidewater Virginia. With
extraordinary surroundings, productive
ability and unusual Improvement in the
way of buildings, they may run as high
as $50 90 to $4,000 per acre, but the
normal value should not exceed the for
mer figures.
when our people, without any ex-
cuse, double, triple and quadruple the
price at which lands were offered few
years ago, then they cease to be an at
traction and the Western people posi-
lively will not buy them. The agents
should absolutely refuse to list lands
that are held at prices beyond a normal
value and thus discourage this tendency.
They are not doing so generally, how
ever In the meantime l am going to di-
vert a portion of our business to sections
where know lands can be obtained for
reasonable prices.
I'VE have had to go into other states,
traversed by our lines of railway, in or
der to insure the sale of property to
Homeseekers, whom we cannot interest
IN Virginia at prevailing prices. 1 find
that this tendency to boost their figures
skyward, has not yet maintained to any
degree in this other territory, and de-
sire to assure you that shall continue
to do business at the old stand and to
do it with you or with any other reliable
and legitimate agent who can show me
he has good properties to offer at
reasonable prices, and that Home
seekers will not be subjected to the an
noyance and aggravation of a continual
ly rising scale of prices when they want
to close on property.
Il have in my files, whole stacks of
letters from people who have written
me complaining of the tendency to re-
fuse to sell except at prices larger than
those advertised and know that these
questionable methods are driving thous-
ands of good settlers from our state.
1--WE have a large number OF good
people in Virginia who would be a great
deal better off, if they would sell half or

Robbed Man Nearly 100 Years Old.

Convicted by the records of Tazewell
county of bigamy, and a self-confessed
highwayman, Floyd Moore, of Kent's
Ridge, this county, will appear before
the next term of the circuit court of
Tazewell county. Moore was arrested
by Officer W. P. Fisher on a charge of
robbing Timothy Lester, a man ninety
five years of age, of $500. Not being
sure that he could make case he press
ed charge of bigamy against the man.
and by the examination of the county
records it was found that on July 3lst,
1875, Moore was married to Elizabeth
Gilbert, while on November 3Oth of the
same year he took unto himself as q
bride Miss Sarah Wardy. Both women
are living in different parts of the coun-
ty and were married to Moore within
four months. When the case was
proved against Moore he spoke up, tell
ing the court that he might as well adj
NIT that he had held up and robbed old
man Lester of $500. The robbery was
mystery. No one had any idea who
had done the work, and although the
officers had tried to get at the bottom
OF the affair, they never could. Fisher
suspected Moore and finally placed him
under arrest. Fisher also claims that
the man has during his life stolen hun
dreds of chickens and turkeys and for
years has taken care of one of the coun-
TVS bad characters.

Attend The Good Roads Lecture.

On Friday night, May 18th, a Good
Roads Lecturer from the United States
Department of Agriculture will give q
free lecture in the courtroom at this
place. He will come especially equip
ped with illustrated views, and will
make the subject interesting as we'll as
instructive.
The men sent out to instruct the peo-
pie and arouse interest in this subject
are the very best obtainable, and our
people should not fail to take advantage
OF this opportunity to learn the how and
why and wherefores of this all impor-
tant subject.
The people from the country are es-
pecially invited. Their interest in the
subject is, if possible, greater than
those of the towns. The Illustrations
will show the progress of the road in
various stages of construction and after
completion. We all believe there is
something wrong about our roads. Pos
sibly, if we will come out to this lee
ture we will be better able to nudge
what it is.
1t Is to be hoped that the people all
throughout Tazewell county will talk
this matter over among themselves and
try to make the attendance as large as
possible.

South A BuIwaTk Against Socialism
and Anarchy.

The census of 1900 showed that the
South is the most homogeneous part of
the nation. Its white population con-
sists mainly of native American stock.
defendants of the men who were a DO
tent factor in achieving the indepen-
oence of the Colonies, or of settlers of
the same strain. The census of 1910, it
is believed, will demonstrate that there
has been no material change in the char
acter of the South's population. The
Southern States welcome, of course.
immigration of the best class: but the
fact remains that the tide of immi-
grafton has been diverted from the
South to very great extent in the in
terest of other sections. The result is a
homogeneity in the South which is not
equaled in any other geographical d.
vision of the United States. OF the
many millions of persons in this country
IN 1900 of foreign parentage or of for
eign birth, comparatively few had made
their homes in the Southern States.
1t Is the homogeneousness of the popu-
lation of the South which makes the
Southern States bulWark against socia-
ism and anarchy. That fact is now
realized by many statesmen in the North.
For years, in the earlier period of this
republic, the South was practically in
control of the government. 1t stood
then for economy, against the centrali-
cation of power at Washington, against
undue interference by the Government
with business. That is the attitude of
the most thoughtful and influential men
IN the South at the present time.
Socialism and anarchy can make no
Roadway in the Southern States as long
as the people of the South remain true
to their traditions and the precepts of
their forefathers. And these traditions
and precepts are not likely to be
changed as long as the Southern people
constitute the most Homogeneous ele-
ments of the white population of the
United States.
Time brings many changes. 1t is
within the range of possibilities that if
political party, with ultra-radical and
destructive policies, should come into
power, the South in conjunction with the
conservative forces of the North and
West would have to save the Union.
Enlightened public opinion in the North
appreciates the value of the South as a
bulwark against a regime of socialism
and anarchy. While the Southern States
show no disposition to break away there
is no doubt what their attitnte would be
in the event that the welfare of the
country were menanced dangerously by
an attempt to undermine the foundation
Of the government and to substitute an
archy for the principles of government
inherited from Washington and Jeffer-
son and long list of Southern states
men and soldiers.

Norton, Va, is in the throes of ali
the worries that can be given city Of
ficials. 1t is reported that as soon as
the bonds which were recently voted
are offered for sale there will be an in
junction applied for to prevent their
sale. This has got the inhabitants of
the town pretty well wrought up, and
they are indulging in all manner of talk
over the matter. But this isn't all.
The town recently had an audit made of
Its books, and as a result the findings of
the auditors were not such as would re-
fleet credit in all quarters. On TODAY.
the 9TH, a detailed report will be made.

changed there is liable to be a real row
raised. The people are not talking much
about it but there are all kinds of ru-
mors going the rounds which NAV or
may not bring out something of inter

When hens begin to lay soft-shelled

that the Aldrich-Payne act has produced
the most satisfactory conditions the
country has ever known in relation to
every article with which it deals. Ask
the farmers, who constitute the great
body of the taxpayers of the nation.

1t is pretty hard work for the scold-
ers to keep up their fault-finding with
the new tariff in the splendid results
that are being recorded. The increased
revenue is now over $50, 900, 900, but
that is one of the least of the results of
its operation. 1t is estimated that the
increase of wages during the first year
of the new law will approximate half a
billion dollars, and that every worthy
man in the country can find work at
good wages.

The American Metal Market SAYS:
'1t is well to get down to concrete ap-
plicstions. Suppose the Payne-Aldrich
tariff did not reduce duties as it should
have done, and suppose that the present
trouble is the high cost of living. We
find by the index numbers that
commodities are higher than ever.
higher than in 1867; we'll, iron and
steel prices are much lower all along
the line than in 1867. If the new
tariff did not reduce as it should
have done why are iron and steel prices
so much lower? If it did reduce rates
so much in iron and steel why so much
complaint, when iron and steel monop-
olized more than half the attention in
the tariff talk? The Indiana and Massa-
chusetts incidents show that the people
are doing something, but it is a ques-
ton whether they have really begun
thinking yet. They have done enough
to show that they are dissatisfied, but
1t Is question whether they know what
they ought to be dissatisfied about"

There is a slight ripple of discomfort
in the placid pool of contentment that
surrounded the intimate friends of

The people should, and will, appreci-
ate the fact that all the promises of a
platform cannot be enacted into law in
a single year or in a single Congress.
Some important measures must go over
till the next session and some till the
next Congress. For that reason, Mr..
Taft should have Republican House of
Representatives to work with the Re-
publican Senate during the latter part
of his term in order that the full meas
ure Of legislation may be had to meet
his recommendation and the pledges of
the party platform.

1t Is something new under the sun for
northern republicans to rise up and
smite party bosses, as they have done
IN the Fourteenth Massachusetts, and
Thirty-second New York districts. But
1t IS good thing. The more indepen-
dent the people become in politics the
better it will be for the country, though
1t may be worse for the republican
party. Bristol Herald Courier.
1t does not happen often as not neces-
sary, but when bosses try to control the
Republican party they will undoubtedly
rise up and smite" them. 1t is more
than pity our Southern Democrats are
so bound by tradition and precedent
that they cannot at times act indepen-
dent of their party bosses as do the Re
publicans. They certainly need to and
especially in this State at present.

All this splendid record would be
checked, if not reversed, if Democrat
&c House of Representatives should be
elected next fall. While there would
be no tariff legislation, yet the business
world would be anxious about the fu-
ture, and this uneasiness would result
in a menace to capital and consequent
setback to labor.

an improvement on present conditions.
They are, of course, DESTROYS of a change
because they are Office hungry. but
thousands who are impatient at Presi-

plished in a year what has taken four
years under some administrations, will
hesitate when it comes to voting for a
change to Democracy.
