Welcome Visitors

The agitation for good roads in
Tazewell county, begun several
months ago, is about to blossom into
a reality, and those who looked upon
the matter as pipe dream have an
other look coming. Engineers under
the supervision of the state highway
commission arrived in Graham the
other day and began setting pegs
with the view of macadamizing the
country roads through Graham as pro-
vided in the decree of the court call
ing the election in April that the
county might issue bonds for the pur-
pose of improving it's roads. Super
visor c. A. Wagner met the engi-
neers here and went over the situa
tion with them, and will keep in
close touch with the work of the sur
veyors during his term of office. Un-
der the arrangements Graham will
have it's mSin streets macadamized.
but the citizens residing in the corpo
ration limits will have to pay an ex
ira road tax of i'ty cents on the one
hundred dollars not heretofore as
sessed, but that the people here were
willing and even anxious to bear this
extra taxation in order to receive
good streets was evidenced by the
fact that not single vote was regis
tered against the county bond issue in
the corporation. The arrival here of
the men who are to stake off the lines
for the new streets of Graham and
the roads of the county marks a new
epoch in the growth of Graham and
the development of the county and
section and they are welcome visitors.

standpoint, he ia we'll within his
rights in proceeding just as he has
done. Moreover. we repeat the in
quiry, why this clamor against Bry-
ans presence in Washington and such
deathlike silence as to the corpora
tions who are there also, through
their attorneys, from the first to the
last day of the Congressional session
who are there, some of them,
through their Senators also, and who
get in their very effective work while
the public is in ignorance as to their
methods and to the often iniquitous
means they adopt to further their
selfish purposes at the expense of the
consumers of the country.
To emphasize our meaning, let's
bring the matter closer home. Which
is most to be deplored as matter of
principle, q Bryan at Washington or
Cardwell in the Capitol lobby at
Richmond? Which? Bryan hasssinfiu-
ence in Washington and uses it, but
he doesn't capitalize it--by which
we mean he doesn't charge money
fees therefor. Cardwell has influence
because having been Speaker of the
House of Delegates. He maintains
close touch with the Virginia Legisla-
ture. And he uses that influence with
the Legislature. And he charges mon
ey for it and lobby business, it is
charged, has been actually created
for him by collusion with him. Yet
Baryn, "the inter-meddler, comes
in for castigation at the hands of
many newspapers. while Cardwell
gets off with very slight touch of
criticism. For our part we plead for
consistency in this relation. We think
the paid Cardwells hanging about
legislative bodies are an infinitely
more deplorable and unwholesome and
suggestive spectacle than Mr.. Bryan
advising Democratic leaders in Con-
gress as to what he believes to be
the character of legislation that
should be adopetd, and doing this
without other bidding than that which
flows from patriotic motives without
any compensation save the conscious
ness that he is doing what he con-
Eceives to be right.

HAVE PITY ON THE HORSE

Remember, your horse will suffer
these long, hot days, unless he is
watered frequently. The plowman
stops for water several times before
dinner, and if necessary. walks any
distance to the spring or well. 1t
doesn' t seem to occur to him that his
horse or mule is also thirsty and
suffering. perhaps more so than the
plowman. Water the horse, at least
once between breakfast and dinner
time. Be humane. Have some regard
for the faithful animal. 1t will paw
all around, to stop about 10 O'Clock.
lead the horse to water. Let him
have as much as he wants. He will
do his work easier and better. And.
then, at II O'Clock, he will be less
likely to drink too much. But, if left
an entire half day without water the
danger is he will drink too much at
dinner time. At any rate, have good
feeling for and mercy on your team.

A WONDERFUL CAMPAIGN

The Jones' Glass campaign strikes
us as inopportune and unwise and al
together unnecessary. Look at few
of it's salient features: Messrs Jones
and Glass were elected to Congress
for the term beginning last March,
just three months ago. Before they
were scarcely sworn in they leave
Washington and enter the field in an
other campaign for another office.
against two true and tried members
of their own party. Country people
may not have much sense, but this
one particular circumstance is talked
about and commented upon not very
favorably by the boys in the rural
districts and the backwoods
The campaign is one OF mudsling-
ing and vituperation, the very thing
that was so deeply regretted and de
nounced in campaign few years
ago. We compile political campaign
books for the Republicans out of ma
terial manufactured in our own
shops, and furnish the same to them
free of charge, to make such use of
as their political sagacity may sug-
gest. Then too, certainly as to one of
these gentlemen, the very men now
denounced and vilfied, and held up to
scorn, were, few years ago extolled
and their work and public ministra-
tions praised and highly endorsed.
Now they are rcnegades, corrupt and
eXtravagant politicians.
Then these gentlemen, Messrs.
Glass and Jones, started their cam
paign by jumping on the newspapers.
Their criticisms and charges of subsi-
dization, were bitter. Then, these
same gentlemen attacked the judic-
idi bOl ali these luncllOnarieS STIR
red up, many of whom were scarcely
acquainted with Mr.. Martin. Very
few of their charges were specific,
but suggestive of dark things exist
ing, and insinuatons that caused
widespread regret.
And, then, these gentlemen started
out as aggressive enemies of the
Ring-the officeholders trust, and
the first thing they did was to organ
ize one Of their own. The Democratic
League of the State has been organ
lied, and has headquarters now in one
of the best hotels in the CITY. We
respectfully submit, that this is a
wonderful campaign-one which will
not pan out for the contestants. in
November, and we say this with NO
ill will or i'll feeling in the world to-
wards the two gentlemen, Messrs.
Glass and Jones.
