Young Boy and His Books.

Do you know that this town is
more or less deeply flooded W ith bad,
pernicious books. and that the young
boys, and girls, too, from twelve
years up, are reading them constant
ly! IL you don't, you should know
IL, and the object OF these "few feeble
remarks" is To enlighten you. The
blood and thunder" stories, many
of them, are on par with the low
flung, demoraliz'ng and corruptlng
plays and shows travelling over the
country, all OF them doing the dew
lis dirty work TO protection. Young
boys are naturally fond OF such ex-
citing tales, and devour them with
engerness, not only corrupting their
morals, but destroying utterly their
love for and interest I'm useful and
necessary reading. The assertion is
ventured that many an imperfect les
son is recited in the High School
here, not on account OF the study
being difficult, or lack OF time for
its preparation, bat because OF time
and attention wasted-worse than
wasted-iu reading some cheap, sor-
ry novel. Let Professor Carson and
his assistants do little inVestigat-
ing along this line, and the ate
ment will be found correct A boy at
tender age had better not-a thou
sand times better not read anything
at all than read bad book. The
memory is impaired, time wasted,
and love for pure, useful reading
detroyed, and often careers OF crime
superinducsd by reading these
trashy, bIood-curdling stories. II
patents and guardians can't control
the matter anyiother way, use these
books, whenever found, TO kindle the
morning fires. There should be a
strong prohibition sentiment generat-
I'd, which would keep such trash out
OF all book stores. Where's the con-
sistency In fighting TO keep out the
sale OF liquor, and at the same time
permitting these sources OF poison Of
the mind and morals 10 lind well

Whitewash and Paint Needed.

A glance at the buildings, palings
and fences OF the town show q decid-
ed mead Of paint and whitewash.
Many good residences have a rusty,
neglect look, and the palings
and fences present not pleasing ap-
pearance. Spring weather will soon
be here, and when it comes, painting
and whitewashing should begin
with a vim. A receipt for splendid
whitewash will be found in this is
sue OF this paper. This is said to be
almost as good as paint for either in
side OIL outside work. Better clip
this recipe and file il for future refer
ence. And while on the subject, at
tention should be given to the roofs.
An old. dry, half rotten shingle roof
nc. only looks badly but is pro-
life source of fires. There are a num-
ber OF otherwise good residences in
this town whose roofs need only a
good, live business spark of fire to
drop on them on dry day or night
to make a first class fire, TO destroy
the building, and perhaps a number
of others, before the fire company,
IL we have one, could turn OH the
water. Better go in debt for good
fire proof Cortright shingle roof. l.:
necessary than TO be turned into the
street and then 90 In debt to rebuild.
These are plain matters that every

own good, and for the interest OF the

ish the idea that Mr.. McCal's poIIt-
ical aspirations must be sacrificed
for purely political reasons. Mr..
Slemp does not want TO, and can
not, give all the good plums TO his
Ninth district. In this connection
the following is taken from a recent
issue OF the Times Dispatch, which
is special from Washington
THE contest for the marshalship
becomes more interesting daily.

has no direct connection with the
position, but who likes 10 look after
the political end of things at Wash

Alien for the job, but Chairman
Slemp and National Committeeman
Martin, OF the state organization, are
opposing him. Messrs. Slemp and
Martin were at the White House re-
Gently and the purpose of their visit
was TO talk over Virginia patronage.
THE Valley people are knocking
Slemp for his apparent desiIe to take
all the good pie for Southwest Vir-
ginia. They say that l.. p. Sum
mers, with patronage worth SIS, 600,
is enough for the Ninth, and that
i'Thomas Lee Moore, OF Montgomery,
which adjoins the Ninth, and his as
sistant, ). Harris Hoge. of Roam
oke, are in :he same section. The on
ly other important office, they argue,
is now in the Tenth district, but
Slemp would take that for s. G..
Proflitt or II. G.. Mccall.
The situation is interesting. II
Slemp had his way, the opposition
declares, Mccall would be appointed
Marshall, but In order TO make a
good front before President Taft, ths
organization will, it is charged, Offer
Proffitt, who IS OF the Fifth, on the
ground that his appointment, with
about $4,000 worth OF patronage,
will help to secure chat district fol
the next house OF representatives
this Messrs. Slemp and Martin know
is powerful appeal TO the President
in this hour OF factionalism in hil
party. In the event that the program
is carried out to this point Barne
Gillespie, OF the Ninth, may succeed
Moore as district attorney. Th
