After all 1t is this beautiful uncer-
tainty attaching to the national pas
time that makes it what it is. Yester-
days game nails another lie, intended
to hurt the greatest of sports. There
were plenty of knockers who were
watching yesterdays score boards pre-
pared to say that the Brooklyns were
willing to throw the game in order to
help along the chances of the Giants.
The score of the game is eloquent In
refutation of this. There never was,
and it Is to be hoped w will be, a
chance to hippodrome this sport. Aside
from the fact that managers are keen
to see hat anything of this sort will
hurt public confidence it would require
the taking into condolences too many
players.

Gossip In the World
of Sport


That National League race is getting
on the nations nerves Just when 1t
seemed that the Giants had a substan-
tial lead the Cubs, Aladdin-like, loom
up over night. The New Yorks seemed
to have hit a hoodoo since they lost
that second game of a double-header
with Boston just when they appeared
to have 1t sewed up, and then again
yesterday they took the count with the
lowly and despised team from the sis
ter borough. The Brooklyns seem to
have a happy faculty of busting up all
dope in this big race. Chicago breads
them, and now although the Giants
found them easy in the early part of
the season, just at a time when every
game looks as big as a mountain, the
Brooklyns get in and win.

CONGRATULATIONS

Congratulations to Big Stone Gap.
That thriving town and professional
and literary mecca has just succeeded
in getting $40, 900 from Mr.. Carne-
gle for the purpose of founding a IL
brary. The gift is made on the con-
ditions that the town provide a suita
BILE site and that $1,000 annually be
Appropriated for the maintenance of
the library. We understand that both
condidtions have been complied with.
1t goes without saying that Mr..
Carnegie could have improved on his
judgment and enhanced his reputation
for philanthropy had he made the gift
to Norton instead of Big Stone Gap.
Evidently he was not advised as to
the relative Importance of the two
towns. Anyhow, the mistake is too
far gone to remedy, and we join
heartily with our sister city in re-
joicing over her well earned and
much deserved success. Norton will
get the library anyway in the course
of few years, when this town has
grown so large as to take in Big
Stone Gap and all the country round
about. Morton Free Press.

the good people of this t. will
have roads under bond issue. Now
gentlemen, who has acted the fairest
with you, the bond issue people or the
pay plan people. The bond issue peo-
pie were the first to espouse your
cause, and caused to be placed upon
the statute books of this state law
providing for bond issues to build
roads, plan that will work, and
wherever tried, is working the peo-
pies desire for good roads, and a plan
that is eminently fair to all the peo-
pie, to both the present and the flu
ture generations, plan that distrib-
utes the burden, and places it where
it belongs. This so called "pay as
you go plan" was conceived, as be-
fore stated herein, ONLY after the
bill providing law for issuing bonds
to raise funds to build roads in the
counties of the state, had been intro
duced in the General Assembly to be-
come law. This Especial act" was

Moderate Drinking

Society is divided into two classe S
on this subject, those who drink and
thoes who do not drink. In every
land this line can be drawn with ac-
curacy. If one drinks at all he is
known either as moderate drinker
or as drunkard, and the term moder-
ate drinking is so uncertain that his
example will be made to cover a null
titutde of sins. 1t is the part of wis
dom to identify oneself with those
who do not drink at all This course
will pay dividends in economy in
health and in security. | signed the
pledge when was boy, and | have

lieve that the people will consider
you as making fair exposition of
the facts, and that you are giving the
bond issue movement just considera-
tion and criticism? fear you have
made an error in your estimate of
the people of this county. Now lets
see what your figures round out.
Macadam roads will cost, according
to your figures 50, 497.42 per mile,
and we assume you know what you
are talking about and have made a
careful Investigation of the building
of macadam roads. Now under your
plan, you contemplate building 119
miles of macadam road in TazeweIl
county within the next ten years by
direct taxation and pay for them as
you go. 119 miles of road at SO, :
4S7.42 per mile amounts to the sum
of $,129, 600. or SIP, 900 per year.
In order to raise this sum by direct
taxation the Board of Supervisors
would have to make levy of about

section of the county where macadam
can never be built? Give the answer
with your vote and support the bond
issue.
Again, you accuse us of "vote
catching We plead guilty to the
charge and we are catching the votes,
why? Because we represent tn best
interests for the masses and stand for
good roads without equivocation. We
are the people demanding the build
ing of roads and not using every
effort to defeat the will and wish of
the people. All we ask is for the peo-
pie to consider and compare the two
plans and study them. We have been
open and above board, have invited
ALL to come and advise together
with common end in view. Mr.. PAY
Plan man, have you done the same?
Let the people say. Why should &C.
S. Tax Payer" ask you to place more
confidence in the people back of the
pay plan than the peoplde, yes, 1000

people on record, back of tine bond is
sue plan. The movements of the bond
issue people have been open for all
the world to see and hear, can the
same be said about the other plan?
Let the people say. Why should we
advocate bond issue unless we ex-
pect to use the money to build roads,
we can't use it for anything else?
You must give the people some rea-
son if you can cast doubt upon the
honest motives of the bond issue
plan. CAN AS MUCH BE SAID OF
THE OTHER PLAN CAN THERE
BE ANY OTHER MOTIVE BUT
GOOD ROADS IN THAT PLAN?
"Tread lightly brother" cor your
sins will yet find you out" If your
plan was honest, why were you so
long asserting it? Why did you keep
it from the people when they were
clamoring for good roads in the years
gone by, when at last, maddened by
your silence and inactivity and the
disgraceful conditions of our high
ways, were forced to resort to the
bond issue statute. Yes, we are
"playing tricks" but we are playing
the trick that always wins, we are
playing for the peoples rights, and
we are playing the trick that is, or
will, expose yours. Let the people
asy. Yes we will catch their votes,
because they want us to catch them,
they are helping us catch them, they
helped us plan to catch them, and the
people are going to have good roSds,
Notwithstanding your "side track"
plan. LET THE PEOPLE SAY.
Now in conc 'usion, l want to say,
that this paper is written in the ut
most kindness, but the issue needs
plain talk. We have no personal
grievance against any one, we only
differ in plans and opinions. If some
things in this letter are harsh, it can
be explained by saying we are follow
ing the example you have set us. If
you think it overdrawn, it will be
/. because you first suggested the meth
cd by which it could be done. If it is
untruthful, it is sufficient to answer
the charges in your letter, and if il
is offensive, it will be because 'you
choose to take it so. Whether or not
this answer to your letter is justified,
will leave it to the people to say,
and abide the consequence of theil
judgment. We will have mo to say
! on the bond issue question in Clear
Fork District next week.

American roads.
This hauling costs 1892, 600, 600,

1t costs only 10 cents the ton the
mile to haul freight over an improved
road.
therefore, if all our roads were
improved it would mean saving of
$500, 600, 600 the year in hauling
alone.
1t will cost fully $4,000, 900, 600

property assessed In the county for
taxation, provided the property in
the towns could be included, or a levy
of about 1920 per annum OH the
500 if the property in the towns is
excluded and exempt from the levy
(Which is the present situation and
likely to remain SOY. Now the bond
issue PEOPLE do not believe in nor as
sert any such figures. They are ready
to concede that good roads can be
built under the pay plan just as cheap
as the bond plan, provided the same
business methods are used; they are
ready to concede that just as good
roads can be built under one plan as
under the other, but they contend,
and it cannot be denied, that under
the bond issue plan you get the use
of the roads at the earliest possible
date, and after such time as push and
energy can build them, and that they
have period of 81 years to pay for
them, and the use of them during all
the time you are paying for them,
making the payment therefor so much
easier. Under the pay plan you pay
the same amount of money for the
same amount of roads and must make
those payments within 10 years in
stead of Sd years, and you do not gel
the use of all the roads until after
the expiration of 10 years, and until
after you have paid for them in full.
Now Mr.. &C. S. Tax Payer" tell us
how you figure out that it will be
less burdensome to the people to pay
the same amount of money under youl
pay plan in 10 years, that the bono
issue plan provides 81 years to pay
and give the use of the roads during
the period in which you are requir,
to make payment?
"Who's going to be left out?'
| NO ONE, if the bond issue carries
ALL will be left out if it fails.
WILL the macadam roads be bull
first? Perhaps so, for some road mus
be built first, and under the bond is
sue plan the macadam roads, bein,
) the main and most generally travele
) thoroughfares, will probably receiv
first consideration. l say probably,
! should have said possibly, for it
5 more probable that the RAIDS will
let out to different contractors an
} that work on all of the roads will b
going on at the same time but b
, that as it may. we will build, unde

Built by Bond Issue What would be the condition Tazewe
children this tine school had been built the "Pa You Go
Plan

then prepared and also presented, and
was done for the very purpose, and
none other, of defeating the effect of
the bond issue statute in Tazewell
county. Now when the people of
this county decided to BUILD GOOD
ROADS, under the bond issue plan,
meetings were called all over the
county and districts, as well as coun-
! ty meetings at the court house. Our
pamphlet" pay as you go, friends
were invited to attend these meetings
and cooperate with us in the effort
and. fhgt for good roads, they came,
hut not word did they speak nor >
plan suggest. If their pay plan is a
good one, why did they not then tell
you about this model plan of theirs,
and give us all chance to consider
it and discuss it, / can tell you why.
They did not want it discussed and
when, in obedience to the invitation
in that pamphlet, we went to Taze-
we'll to look, into the plan, they
calmly advised us that they did not
want the plan discussed EXCEP
BY IT'S FRIENDS, and why? Be-
cause they were afraid to let the
search light find it, they were
afraid that special act would not
stand the test, but when they find you
determined for good roads they launcl
this plan, "pay as you go.'' No pay,
no go, NO GO, no pay, the last ex'
plains their attachment to this plan,
for under it, there will be no go, anc
therefore NO PAY.
Now, again, Mr. Common Sense
Tax Payer" you say that GIT IS AS
PLAIN AS DAY" that the none,
