LOCUSTS COMING

The Agricultural department al
Washington has issued statement to
the effect that the country may ex-
pect this year visitation of the
seventeen year locusts, over goodly
number of states east of the Missis-
sippi river. 1t seems, according to
the records that there is also a thir
teen year locust, and that one kind is
sometimes mistaken for the other. A
portion of this state had visitation
of locusts last year. Botetourt coun-
ty, one particular part of the county
at least, was swarming with them
last year. Just how much territory
they covered was not stated.
Who of our readers remember the
last locust year in Tazewell? Has
there been one within the last twenty
years? Who remembers it?

BODY FOUND
MISSING z WEEKS

Freezing, Va, Feb. 20.-The body
of Arch w. Howell, the missing man
from Norland, has been found, after
NOR than u week. 1t was lying in a
wood on ridge, near the line be-
tween Wise and Dickinson counties.
From Indications the man had been
murdered, the head having been near
ly severed from the body, the hands
cut or torn away, which could not be
ascertained, as the body was in part
ly decomposed state. A coat and
some other things, supposed to have
belonged to the murdered man, were
found short distance away, but it is
thouhgt that the body had been drag
ged from the scene of murder in or
der to conceal it temporarily, as it
had been thrown into little sag. A
moonshine still was found two or
three hundred yards away So far as
can be ascertained, there is no clue as
to the perpetrators of the crime.
Arch w. Howell mysteriousy dis
appeared from his home at Norland,
nearly two weeks ago. He told his
wife that he should be gone an hour
or two, but when he did not return,
the woman gave out the alarm, and a
searching party was organized. But
no trace of the missing man could be
discovered for several days. AT length
one of the party, Mr.. Whit, made
the CHASTITY find mentioned above.
Howell was farmer-mechanic, ant
was apparently about So years OF
age. He came here from near Charles

satisfactory results should plant
again, this year, a small plot of the
best of the growth. 1t may prove
just the thing. One test is not suffi-
cient generally. Cookies Prolific,
which the editor of this paper grew
last year, is ruled out on account of
its great height Of stalk, and it's
late maturing. AS an ensilage corn it
is unsurpassed. After years of grow tn
here it might be just the thing. Max
ing as high as three ears to the stalk
and producing an almost unlimited
amount of fine forage, it might be
made just what is wanted for cattle.
If you haven't good variety of corn
don't plant it just because you hap
pen to have it. Get something better
from neighbor, by all means. DON'T
throw away your time and money or
Il scrub corn.

WHAT KIND OF CORN

The same question recurs-"What
KIND OF corn shall plant this year,"
A number of experiments were made
last year with new strains, and a
more careful selection and cultivation
OF old ones, so that some definite con-
clusion should have been reached by
this season. The experiments with
the prolific varieties were only par
TALLY satisfactory. F.. X Crockett
and M. l.. Peery grew Boone County
with fairly good results, we believe,
for the first year. The editor of this
paper grew an acre of Cookies Pro-
life, and won't do SO any more if he
can help it. Dr. Greever and w. Ed
Peery had, if we mistake not. lots in
Bats prolific, as did several other
farmers. The conclusion seems to he
to plant the very best seed of native
corn There is some very fine native
corn grown in Tazewell, and quite
good deal not fit to plnnt-a waste of
time and money. The Boone County,
member of the Dent family, takes
the majority of the prizes where
ever shown, and if grown few wears
in Tazewell would no doubt be all
right. There is large, deep grained
corn grown in the west end of the
county, Dent variety, which is fine.
The variety grown by Jas. Ed Peerv
and O.E. Hopkins is in many RESPECTS
model corn. The objection being
that it is hybrid white nor
yellow, but mixed about half and
half. For large yield of shelled
corn. this is said to be good corn.
Each farmer must decide for himself.
This county needs prolific variety
which grows ears not too large to be
easily managed by cattle, a,d more
than one to the stalk. Big corn and
large cared corn will measure more
per acre in the ear, but when shelled
and weighed will not measure up
with an improved smaller, deep grain
ed variety. ,

HEAVEN HERE

Some one has ventured to say that
any man who is living as he should
and can in this world, is not anxious
to leave it even to go to heaven. This
is putting it strongly, perhaps, from
the usually accepted, orthodox view
of the church people. But, why
shouldn't man be happy in Gods
beautiful world? This world is not
evil and bad, and disagreeable, I'M
happy abode. 1t is beautiful, varied
and adapted to all our needs. Doesn't
the Bible say, "Love not the world.
If any man love the world the love of
the Father is not in him?" Yes.
that's the language, but it doesn't
mean the ground, the sunlight and
the plants, trees and flowers. "The
world" means SIM 1t means don't
love evil, the evil within men put
there by the devil. 1t means, don't
love the evil. The Great Father made
this world beautiful in order that His
children, whom he put here should be
happy and not miserable. Why, bless
you, why would father, in prepar-
ing habitation for his children so
fix it that they could not live happily
there? If he did we would not believe
Him kind, and we know that the
Great Father loves his children more
than He could express, and He said
$50 loved"
There is nothing wrong with this
great world. If a man, unless he be
helpless, decrepit and mean, can't be
happy here he is not likely to be hap
py anywhere else If one is all out of
harmony with nature, can see no
beauty in plant, birds, green fields
and mountains, DOESN'T love his fellow
men-is always looking out for him
f"-holds coin so close to his
eyes as to shut out the sight, light
and beauty of Gods beautiful and
grand creation, why, then, no wonder
he is disgruntled and unhappy, and
anxious to go somewhere. But such Il
man will find himself much out of
place, even in heaven. If we can't
enjoy the "heaven below"it is not Mt
all probable that he will ever reach
the "heaven above,'' and if he does
he will likely find something to kick

Southwest Virginia Leads The
State.

The counties of the Southwestern
part of Virginia have voted, or will
vote, a total of $2,OO0,OOO for the
construction of good roads, and i'm so
doing they have set splendid exam
pie for all other counties. Wise coun-
ty has appropriated $500, 900 for use
on the roads. Tazewell is preparing
to create a bond issue of 5000, 600
for the building of modern highways.
and there seems every reason for be-
lieving the project will carry. Lee
county's citizens have voted to tax
themselves for $500, 600 for use OH
the thoroughfares, and Russell coun-
ty has favorably voted on S275, 900
good roads bond issue. The total
amount of money appropriated by
these three counties, 81, 339, 600, is
almost equal to the aggregate good
roads appropriations of the Other
ninety-seven countless in the state.
After Tazewell has voted, the total
of SO, 1913, 600 for good roads work
will place these four counties head
and shoulders above all other conties
in the state in the matter of enter
prise, progressiveness, development
and common sense.
These handsome bond issues attest
the good work done by the State
Highway Commissioner and his as
sistant, who have made many trips to
the Southwest portion of the state
and worked up and sustained greater
improved highway enthusiasm among
the mountain folk than has been
manifested anywhere else in Virginia
or the South.
The most westerly, mountainous
and inaccessible counties of the state
have forged far ahead of all others,
and their example should be followed
by conties which have level land OF
which to work, equally as patriot,
and sensible citizens, just as mucl
need for good roads as the Southwest
and perhaps more to gain by buildin,
modern thoroughfares. If all tn,
counties in the state were like Wise
Lee, Russell and Tazewell, Virgini;
would be far greater and bette
Commonwealth than the most Opt
mistic have ever dreamed. -Bristo

The Old Guard In The Saddle

Mr. A. H. Williams, of Wythe-
vile, tells The Times Dispatch that
if the primary election for United
States senators for this state was
held now, Martin and Swanson would
have from 80 to 90 per cent of the
Democratic vote of the Ninth district.
Our observation and information con-
firm this opinion and similar condi-
tions seem to exist in the Fifth dis
trict. Of course changes may come
with the development of the cam
paign and it would be silly to at
tempt now predictions of what may
happen in August. 1t should De not

it seems to be in these two great
white districts could not have been
made by machine. - 1t must be.
in great measure at least, the re-
suit of the thought of the people
themsel' es. If it was true that nine
ty per cent OF the voters of the dis
trict were controlled by the "ma-

would be hopeless. We do not believe

A Good Example.

Southwest Virginia has the rest of
the State beaten to FRAGILE on the
good roads question. By majority
of five or six hundred, Russell county
voted a subscription of $275, 600 in
bonds, for the building of good roads
in that county. Wise county has al
ready subscribed $500, 600 for the
same purpose, with Lee county as re-
spectacle second with subscription
of 1864, 600 to its credit. Tazewell
county will shortly vote on the ques-
tion of subscribing 5000, 900 fol
good roads, and there does not ap-
pear to be any doubt that it will vote
on the side of progress. With this
subscription these four adjoining
counties will have put up for good
roads nearly 100000.
There is no better test of good cit
izenship than good roads. They are
the evidences of civilization. They
spell prosperity for the people and
the communities through which they
run. Business cannot be conducted
economically without them, and it is
to the everlasting credit of South.
west Virginia that its people are
willing to tax themselves for theil
own benfit without stopping to con.
slider that proportion of the burden
must be borne by the generations tina
are to follow. We wish that every
county in this State would take know
ledge of Russell, Lee, Tazewell ant
Wise counties and initiate their fin,

THE WOMEN COMING TO
FRONT

The unexpected happened short
time ago, in Richmond. This staid.
conservative, easy-going, first class
old town has had a number of sensa-
lions recently-an increasing number
as the years go by, some of which
have not been of great credit to the
city-The Dolly Dimples episode, for
instance. The unexpected" referred
to specially here occurred few
weeks ago, when the Baptist minis
tiers conference, which meets every
Monday morning, invited Miss Mary
Johnson, the distinguished authoress
and suffragist, to make an address be.
fore the conference. She came, she
saw, she spoke, and so far as any
expression of disapproval has appear
ed in print, she conquered We take
it, however, that want or lack of
public criticism Of her address is not
to be interpreted as approval of her
doctrine. In other words, silence did
not mean consent, on this occasion.
Just what the Baptist pastors of
Richmond thought of the address.
and just what they think along the
line of equal suffrage, as held by
Miss Johnson and her associates.
would be interesting. Report has
gone out that the Richmond pastors
generally-that is,a number of them.
are not ut 81 hostile to the doctrine.
1t is said that there are a few promi-
nent women and several men in this
section who believe that women
should be allowed the privilege of the
ballot. We don't know who they are,
never having made inquiry as to their
identity, but we do know, that, iudg-
ing from the force which seems to be
gathering in this state and in the
country generally, the question of
woman suffrage promises to become
live-if not political issue, in the
near future. The very fact that Miss
johnson addressed a body of leading
ministers, representing the strongest
denomination in the state, and that.
too, by invitation, is significant. The
world moves, and there is no telling
what may show up at the next revo-
luton of the wheel.
