Samples

Just to ascertain the effect of the
tariff on mems cloting, a gentleman
in New York recently wrote for a.
box of samples of clothes with re-
spective prices, to a well known firm
of British export tailors, viz. Messrs.
G. E. Brierley and Co., of Hudders-
field. The samples came in due
course. This firm offers to supply
suits to customers in all parts of the
world at from S. to $13.4O,
according to sample of cloth selected,
exclusive, of course, of duty and
freight charges. Suit of similar
cloth would cost in New York from
$13 to $26-f full double the price
charged in England.
Accompanying the samples is a
list of duties payable on an imported
suit of clothes in various countries,
The United States tops the lot with
ninety per cent approximately, Bel
gium charges thirteen per cent, Ber-
muda ten per cent, British Guina
twelve and one half per cent, Canada
thirty per cent, Cape Colony twelve
per cent, Jamaica seventeen per cent,
New Foundland forty five per cent,
Transvaal twelve per cent. The priu-
cipal European countries charge duty
by weight of goods. To import suit
of clothes into France costs twenty
cents, to Germany thirty six cent, to
Italy twenty two cents, to Spain
$1.44. Besides these diminutive fig
ures the American rate of duty tow

MAKE CHARGES SPECIFIC

Esteemed contemporary, The
Lynchburg News, gives Judge Mann
lot of advice and utters several
warning cries, pertaining to the
reckless extravaganza" of the State
government, ETC., but fails to specify
single instance or case in which
there is or has been, RECKLESS ex-
travagance. Put your finger on the
spot. We all agree that there should
be no extravaganza, and no doubt
Judge Mann does, too, and with him
all of us would thank those who make
these indefinite charges and alarming
statements, if they would show them
up specifically. Everybody is sick and
tired of indefinite. Indirect charges,
and nobody, so far as we can learn,
is trying to "hush agitation.
The only. or anything like definite
statement in the editorial of the
News, is that State expenditures have
been 1920, 1000 year over annual
receipts. - 1t might be best to in
crease revenues to meet this 5000,
600 extra sum. If it was wasted,
where and how? What institution or
office shall be abolished? What ap-
preparation cut down? If only the
trouble could be located! The "nig-
GER seems to be located somewhere,
under one of hundreds of "wood-
piles" but nobody seems to know
which one, and the doubt will sug-
gest itself presently that he isn't I'M
der either. Produce 1.-THE niger.
For the lands sake, put up, show up
or shut up.

ABOUT THIS WAY IN
TAZEWELL..

The Wise county people talk about
this way in regard to their new road
bond issue of $1,000 What is
wrong with the talk? Says Wise
county man:
eve have been spending $3.50. 90
year or more patching our roads
and when the end of the year came
had nothing to show for the money
and had to begin all over again,
shoveling more money into the same
old mud holes. So we concluded it
would be more sensible to build real
ly good roads, do the job at once and
be done with it and spend the same
money in interest on bonds with some
more for sinking fund. We shall
have to keep up the roads, of course.
but we will have something to show
Tor what we spend and something
tnat VIII be saving our people money
and adding to values all the time.
And when the bonds are paid and the
interest is stopped we will yet have
the roads and the comfort and econo-
my Of them and the increased values
of property and attractions for inyes-
tors and people seeking land"

Some of these questions may seem
silly, and betray woeful LAX of

expect questions in little paper like
ours to be answered. For goodness

insinuation and indirection, that
we are entirely in the dark. If things

A BROOM FACTORY

A move is on foot to establish =.
broom factory in this town which
promises now to succeed. The plant
will be small to begin with. and If
the experiment seems to justify n
larger plant will be built later
The farmers of Tazewell can grow
good broom corn. 1t is profitable
crop and easily grown, requiring
about same conditions, culture, etc
as corn. More definite statement will
be made later. In the meantime LET
every farmer plant or grow patch
of broom corn. A few rows across
your garden will make enough of the
plant to supply your FANNY with
brooms for the year.
The editor of this paper has not
bought from the stores single
broom for several years. He grew a
half dozen rows or so "just for fun, &"
and got Mr.. Ritter to make it up ON
shares partly, and has saved money.
Brooms are costly, and in the aver
age family, their cost amounts to
nice little sum during the wear.
There is no reason why we should
not grow nearly everything needed in
our homes, except of course, certain
groceries which. must be bought else
where. Our bread and meat, canned
fruits and vegetables, preserves. ber-
RES, hay, oats, chop, chickens, etc.
etc., should all be, and can easily he
made at home with only little ex.
ira effort and attention. The broom
factory will be an experiment along
the line of a home in ustry, to SUM-
ply an article needed ana usel in

SHOULD TOBACCO GROWING
BE DISCONTINUED

An exchange before us carries
large advertisements of tobacco fer
tilizers, each high priced, and the
farmers are urged to use it literally
and make sure, large and profitable
yields. The reading of the advertise
ment recalls a remark made by a
speaker at the great farmers meeting
in Roanoke In the course of an adj
dress he said he hoped the time
would come when all the farmers
would quit the growing of tobacco,
not from any moral consideration but
from purely business and economic
point of view. Tobacco, he said, was
the most difficult of crops to grow,
requiring long and laborious work.
was exhaustive to soils, and contrib
uted no good whatever to the world.
The paper above referred to is pub
lished in what is regarded as very
poor farming section, if not the poor
est, in the State. Out of this poor,
light, sandy soil, the farmers are
forcing every year, by the lavish use
OF costly fertilizers, large crops of
plant which leaves the land ex-
hausted, and the laborers, too. and
which contributes not one iota to the
good of society or the uplift of the
people, the rather, if we are to ac-
cept the statements of physicians
and others, demoralizes and Injuries
In manner and to degree which
puts it in the same general class with
liquors and narcotics. Leaving this
phase of the question out of consider
alton, would it not be best for the
tobacco growing sections, for the far
mers to expend this energy and mon
ey in growing useful crops of grain.
grasses and stock-such crops as
would improve rather than impover-
lsh, their lands? 1t is said, and gen
orally known to be true, that the
poorest sections of the State, as a
rule, are the tobacco growing sec
lions. Do the farmers grow tobacco
because they are poor, or are they
poor because they grow tobacco? But
what's the use in talkin'? 2" When
we shall have become removed a few

WHY NOT SPEND 1T?

A short time ago Tazewell citi-
/. zen found his bank account growing
beyond his demands. He had more
money than he needed, and putting
some five thousand dollars in a wad.
started out to find some one to whom
he could loan it, and after repeated
failures we suppose he succeeded at
last in placing it at about S per
cent. The question is, why did not
this citizen seek to invest his surplus
in SOME business enterprise in his
. own town? Why do not other men.
like this prosperous citizen, who have
money to burn" as we say, en-
deavor to build up their own commu-
nifty by establishing some enterprise
or manufacture business which.
while returning good dividend will
also give employment to the people
already here, and attract others to
the town and community. Why don t
they? Or, is it true, as is believed
outside, that Tazewel is wanting en-
tirely in progressive men? If there
was no money here lying idle there
might be some excuse for everybody
to be idle as regards public improve
ments. If we were growing, and in
creasing in population and usefulness
there would be no need, perhaps, for
further public improvements, but,
with town practically dead as to
public enterprise, and at the same
time with more money than we know
how to spend, we lay ourselves liza
BILE to charge of either being ex-
tremely selfish on the one hand or not
intelligently progressive, on the
other. There are few men who.
now and then, make investments, but
only for land, to grow more cattle, to
make more money to buy more land
an endless chain of their own wire
fences. We are town of parasites
we live off each other. "What a
pity, man said in our hearing a
few days ago, that Messrs. j. w. Moss
and Geo. w. st. Clair had not nut
their $50, 900 into a fine factory of
s'me kind for Tazewell, instead of
putting it in bluegrass farm? If we
cannot look to the young men who
have money to do something for this
town, we had as we'll give I'D the
fight" When Tazewell gets her fine
new roads it is to be hoped that her
spirit of enterprise and push will be
so stimulated as to branch out in
other great efforts for the good of the
community.
