Noel Candidate For Congress,

Col. James NJ. Barker, who has Just
returned from Lee county, Virginia.
where he spent a day or two on bust
ness, met the Hon. ]. C. Noel while
there. He was advised by Mr.. Noel
that he had made up his mind to become
a candidate for congress from the Ninth
congressional district of Virginia. Mr..
Noel, who is a republican, will seek the
republican nomination next year, and it
is said he will be candidate regardless
of what Mr. Slemp may determine as to
his own candidacy.
Mr.. Noel has been prominent in the
affairs of the party for a number of
years, and has recently represented his
district in the State senate of Virginia.
His announcement will naturally arouse
much interest in the district.-Bristol

Why Not Have The Best
School In The County?

Yes that neighborhood has the best
school in the county"
When you hear this said about a COM
munity what pleasing picture at once
flashes through your mind You not
only see the pretty, painted, attractive
school building, with well-kept grounds.
but joyous picture of the thrift and
enterprise and progress of the entire
community also suggests itself. You
know that if the neighborhood has the
best school in the county, then it must
be that about the best people live in il
already, and that more good people are
coming to it-for good school always
attracts good citizens like a magnet.
You know that the fact that these peo-
pie have had the enterprise to get the
best school in the county means, too.
that they are wide-awake about every
thing-that they live in good homes;
that they have painted their houses;
that they are using improved nipple
ments and machinery; that they getting
better roads; that there is a wholesome
social life and that the young people
are happier, and that in a hundred other
ways the school and the spirit represents
have made their influence felt in bright
ening the lives of the people round.
about.
All these suggestions lead directly to
another thought: Why shouldn't your
neighborhood have the best school in
the county. or at least one of the best?
1t would only take a little determine
ton and cooperation on the part of all
the peosle in your community.
First of all, get your district 50 en-
iarged or arrange as to provide proper
support for a school. Then vote what
ever local tax is necessary in order tc
get an adequate school term. This will
cost money but so does seed corn cost
money. Still one dosen't mind putting
valuable seed corn into the ground when
he knows that it is going to bring a
good harvest in the fall. The harvest
of returns from school-tax investments
are Just as sure. Next you want to
get good teachers and pay them enough
to keep them with the school not merlv
for one term but as long as they can dc
good work. Finally, get these prac.
teal courses introduced. Let the BOYS
learn the scientific principles that will
have practical application in farm life.
Let the girls learn the DrincinIao If do
nestle science. And let both boys and
girls give proper amount of time ia
the principles of sanitation and hygiene
how to live right and how to keen
well. Let your school give adequate
training along these three practical
lines then ground the students thoroulv
In the Three RS, and if the parents
have done their part, you need have no
fear as to the sort of men and women
your community will turn out.-Raleigh

AMERICA AND The FINE ARTS.

The death of Edwin Abbey, the cele-
brated painter, reminds us of the great
advance America has made in literature
and the fine arts since Sidney Smith
sneeringly asked: "Who reads an
American book?"
As matter of fact there never was
any justification for the sheer, for even
in Americas earliest years authors and
artists of renown were not wanting. In
the particular sphere in which Abbey
gained such distinction the names.
among others, of Benjamin West and
John Trumbull easily suggest them
selves.
But, naturally, as the nation grew
away from the comparatively primitive
and rough pioneer days to position Of
wealth and refinement the way for men
of genius and arts became more open,
and many have found it to their own
profit and to the honor of their country.
Among all such Abbey easily rose to
the first rank. This was not due to luck
but to painstaking hard work and a rare
artist gift. His mural paintings, (The
Holy Grail, for the Boston public Ii
brary are among the masterpieces OF
American painting and at once secured
for him national fame. Perhaps the
best tribute to Abbey's talent was the
commission given him to paint the cor
onation of Edward VII of England.
His success and that of others in
painting and sculpture proves that this
country can hold it's own with other ma.
lions and that it is not altogether ruled
by the spirit of commercialism.

Value OF Virginia Lands.
Richmond Journal.

Richmond Journal.
The farm land in Virginia has more
than doubled in value in ten years.
This statement has before been made in
another form very recently m. these
columns. 1t is too important to keep
hid. 1t will permit of repetition until it
sinks well into the minds ofsevery man
in the State. This is only the begin
ming of what Virginia lands will be
worth in the years to come. People
who have been LAND poor" only need
to hold their lands few years more to
become land rich.
The story of the advance in value of
Southern farm lands in ten years as told
by the census of 1910 is marvellous.
The following table shows the gains
and percentage of increase:

equally amusing.-Wise News.

Yes, We confess it, with shame.
There are Democrats, So called. in

There are Republicans for sale, too,

Democrats have not hesitated to do
little bartering. in the same goods

Worse, however, than the implied

State. For over half a century-with
a slight break not worth mentioning
this party has had complete power in
the State and while other States have
gone forward in safeguarding the bal

prevent fraud and discourage the barter

Not unlikely the unfortunately large
number of religious denominations
would be appreciably decreased and the
cause of church union greatly advanced
if the question were left to the rank
and file in each denomination to settle.
AS matter of fact the line of separa-
ton between many bodies, especially
those of the same UNCONVENTIONAL fami-
ly, is so thin that to the ordinary lay
men it is a wonder that it is not at once
obliterated. Probably the greatest bar
riers to union are the denominational
secretaries and other principal officials
who fear that union would decrease
their number, as it would, and so cost
them their position. But it is the larger
good in the shape of consolidated forces,
economy of money and men, and great
er efficiency that should be considered.
