CORN CRAZY"

One of ouI subscribers jerks on the
reins suddenly by saying, "You and
the whole country are corn crazy.
+ rom reading the papers one would
conclude that corn is all and every
thing. How about wheat?"
a balance wheel is just as neces-
sary rs a crank, an 1t is well not
to go to extremes. Our friend does
not mean to say that he is not in
terested in the great improvement
going on now, ali over the south, in
corn growing, for he is, and corn
grower himself. but his fear is that
the growing of wheat, the chief food
grain of the people, will be neglect
ed. He may be correct. Certainly
the growing If wheat should engage
more OF the attention and study of
our farmers. When il is remembered
that thousands of dollars are sent
out OF the county every year for
wheat which might be made at
home, the question, "how about
wheat" is pertinent. This is said
10 be mot a wheat country" and
some people say il is not n corn
country, but where seventy-five and
even a hundred bushels of corn can
be made to the acre, and good Yields
of wheat also. these opinions do not
seem true. With proper car and seed,
surely enough wheat can easily be
made in Tazewell TO supply the
county with floru. Why not? Can
1t be bought cheaper than we can
grow it. Must this rich county, con.
linue forever To kneel and fawn at
the feet of meat and grain trusts?
Will the county ever become indie
pendent of Chicago and Minneapo-
Ills?

HENRY STUART FOR
CONGRESS

A leading Democrat of Tazewell
says 81 am in favor OF Henry Stuart
for Congress. He is the man. Can we
get him?" That's the question.
There is little or no doubt but that
Mr.. Stuart can carry this district,
or this state, as to that, for any Office
he may ask, but, will he consent TO
run for congress? We have no infor-
nation whatever on the subject but
feel entirely safe in saying shat he
would be unquestionaly the unani-
nous choice OF the voters of the
Ninth. But, will Mr.. Stuart consent
TO allow his name TO be used? Will
the honors and emoluments of the
office be sufficient inducement for the
redemption of his district? This is
the question.
a good democrat takes us TO task
for what he pleases TO characterize
as 1.-The discou aging tone" of our
editorial last week on Now For The
Ninth. He fails. however, to point
out wherein the article did not state,
rs far rs il went, the true condition
in the premises. We repeat, we be-
lieve the Democrats can win this
fall, IF THEY WILL ORGANIZE
THOROUGHLY, AND GO TO
WORK AT ONCE. But if the same
tactics are followed, in the same old
way, there is no more hope Of victory
this fall than there is to make
Clinch River navigable for ocean
steamers. Forewarned is forearmed,
and, unless we understand thorough
Iy the strength OF the enemy, and
our own weakness and needs how
can we prepare for victory? y know
ledge OF the facts may be disc)urag-
ing, but the facts must be known,
and provided for before there is hope.
misrepresentation and "Whooping
up politely is delusion and snare.
We have been here too long. We
know what we are talking about.

TO ABOLISH SCHOOL INoPEC-
TOR

Judge Martin Williams has offer
eel bill in the Legislature which
abolishes the Office OF State School
lnspecto-. This Office has been term
ed "a fifth wheel" and is regarded
by many good men rs entirely un-
necessary. Not single step nor
half step should be taken that will
weaken the school management Of
the State, but it does seem as though,
with State superintendent and Il
hundred or so county Superintend-
ents, the schools ought TO be able To
get along we'll. Too much manage
ment" is rs bad as not enough, ON
the principle that too many cooks
spoil the broth " Also, we have "A
state superintendent OF Rural Ele-
mentary Schools" filled by Mr.
Thomas, whose salary, by the way,
as Mr.. Thomas stated publicly here,
is not paid out Of he school funds
of the state. We are not sufficiently
we'll informed To express an opinion
on the subject, but if the Office of
inspector is necessary and is good
investment, for the schools it should
be retained otherwise not. We un-
derstand that this phase of the mat
ter will be Investigated.

But he doesn't, unless il be true of

that he was born and reared in the

let this constituencies tariff invade
the domain of his buck heat bin,
and not cry out i'm anguish and an
ger, and wipe il from the face of the
earth. How are we 10 account for
this cold, calculating statement that
the tariff is robbing the country of
buckwheat cakes on any other hypo-
thesis, than that he has been served

THE NEXT CONGRESS

The opinion prevails among far
seeing politicians of both parties,
that the next Congress of the United
States will be Democratic. The Re
publicans are in a scandaious faction
al fight among themselves. 1t deveI-
ops more clearly from day TO day
that the great trusts and corporations
ale running the government. The
dismissal of Guiflord Pinchot, the
attitude of insurgent Republican
Congressman and Senators, the be-
trayal of the people in the revision
of the tariff, and many other causes
of dissatisfaction, are working the
disruption of the crowd which has
been enriching themselves at the ex-
pense OF the people for years. There
are signs of revolt, growing strong
er every day, in the Ninth District
OF Virginia, and present indications
point TO the defeat of Mr.. SIemp
next fall, provided tbs Democrats
put out strong man.

THE PASSING OF THE BUCK
WHEAT CAKE"

The Washington Herald, accord
ing to the BluefieId Leader, laments
the disappearance of the buckwheat
cake from the breakfast tables of the
people, and bemoans pitiously "a
sunshineless, buck heatIess Janua-
ry." Any winter or early spring
month either that is "buck wheat
less" is bemoanable. If the tariff is
responsible for this occasion, as the
Herald intimates, of bemoaning,
why, then, the last word has been
said. The tariff must go. When this
state of depletion and system of rob-
berry strikes Southwest Virginia, then
that Will mean the last of the tariff.
We will attack it so ruthlessIy and
numerically as to swizzle it on the
frs round. The attack of the insur-
gents on Uncle Joe, Aldrich and that
gang won't compare with the unre-
lenting, interminable savage warfare
we will wage against this tarnation
