Mr.. Editor {:

tSbtlot
Everybody expected, and perhaps
had good grounds for expecting, that
the road between Tazewell and North
Tazewel would be put in shape be-
fore winter weather sets in. BLESSED
is he that expecteth nothing, for he
shall not be disappointed. The road
is in miserable condition, and getting
worse every day. To drive vehicle
over this mud and rut road is enough
to make the best man mad, and cause
the average man to "cuss,." Fix the
worst roads first. The road out of
town, west, is being put in fine shape.
Stop now, as soon as possible, and
bridge the CULTS, between Tazewell
and the depot. apiece of road travelled
five times as-tiuch as the roads west.
1t is a disgrace to this county, and
should be fixed. The road leading
east, as far as to Mr.. Martins, is
much travelled, and is bad enough
getting worse every day. 1t is notice
able that every foot of new road
made in the Jeffersonville District
has been made west of town. The
supervisor of the district lives west
of town. There may not have beer
design or intention in this, but it is
noticeable. The roady most travelled
seem to be the last on the program
A little work done now, before bad
weather, on the street from the heat
of Main down Tazewell avenue, would
save this road, which is rapidly wash
ing away, and wearing in holes ant
mud puddles. Leave it so until mex
spring, and the road will cost some
thing to repair. Wont the road build
ers turn their faces and forces east

A Simple Flower

Only eighteen hours separated the
deaths of brother and sister ON
Monday. Patrick H. Winfree, of
Chesterfield county, died at his home
Monday at midnight, while his sister.
Mrs. Harriet v. Taylor, died at G
O'Clock i'll the morning of the same
day at 1908 Floyd avenue, in this
city, the home of her daughter, Mrs.
w. e. Drew. Mr.. Winfree leaves
eight children, and Mrs. Taylor is
survived by son and daughter. -
The above notice is taken from the
Times-Dispatch of the 18th. While of
no interest to the majority of the
readers of this paper, the editor gives
place and srace to the notice only to
bear humble testimony to the worth
of two of his old friends of other
days. They were conspicuous figures
in society, church, business and the
home, in old Chesterfield. They
wrought we'll. Their memory is bless
ed. "Pat" Winfree was a good citi-
zen, loyal friend. His sister was
mild and lovely, gentle as a sum-
mer's breeze" pure, good soul as
earth ever gave to heaven. 1t was fit
ting. that, like the leaves which have
been perfected by summers growth,
she too, should lay dow to sleep
until the springtime of Resurrection
comes. Peace to their ashes!

vote-buyers Will be Prosecuted

"A note OF warning is sounded by an
election officer of this section. He
says: "I shall, along with other Off
GERS, keep sharp lookout on Novem-
ber 7th for the vote-buyer and the
bribe-giver. Judge Skeen has set the
pace, and started the ball, and other
Judges and election officers will keep
it rolling. The unlawful use of money
in elections should be stopped, and the
only way to do it is for all law -abid-
ing citizens to do their best to bring
law breakers to justice and to jail.
Usually a large amount of money
is spent to carry elections in this Sec

law, and such law breakers should b c

HOTEL PROVIDES
DRAMATIC PLAYS
including Somewhat Modernized Yer
sion of Shakespeare's Tale of the
1.-TWO Dromios."

The, Ford. not to be outdOne by any
other hotel in providing for the reas-
onabl enjoyment of its guests. this
winter has arranged for a series of
dramatic entertainments.
1t has already commenced with the
play of the Two Dromios." This is
somewhat mOderniZed version of
Shapespeare's tale. The principal char
acters of the two drOmiOs, are being
played by twin bell hops, named
Shank.
The first act shows the evident per-
turbation of the hotel proprietor when
he finds that he has hired two instead
of one. and he cannot tell which is the
one: he finally takes both.
The second act represents n lady
guest very much disturbed in her feel
ings when she discovers, as i. seems
to her, one boy working day and night:
she wants to know how he can stand
it. and appeals to the hotel proprietor,
who neglects to explain, and Leaves
the lady still sorrowing.
The third act represents another
guest as coming in late at night and
Selling the arm of his friend. saying:
Il am seeing double; l have taken too
much, and it is high time for me to
go to bed"
The brother players have never been
separated. since they were born in
Montana; and the only way they can
be secured in n hotel is by putting on
this modern version of the 1.-TWO Dro-
MICS"
The play has been running at the
Ford now for some months, and is
proving very popular.
The author of this version of the
1.-TWO DrOmios'' is Prof. Henry White,
the teacher of the deaf mute sign
language.

POLICY OF TAFT
ON WATER POWER
Commended by Clifford Pinchot in a
Public Statement
Issued.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3.-As presi-
dent of the national conservation as
sociation, Gihord Pinchot issued a
statement commencing President
Taft's water power policy.
Every friend of conservation will
receive with satisfaction the an
nouncement made from the white
house yesterday of water power
policy, said Mr.. Pinchot.
THE essential features of the pol
icy thus announced are that the fed
eral' government shall continue to
own and control the water powers on
the public domain: that they shall be
leased for a limited time only; that
those who lease from the govern
ment shall pay for what they get;
that the water powers shall be
promptly and fully developed, and
that exhorbitant rates to consumers
shall be followed by the cancellation
of the lease"

ON THE FENCE
Does Not Know Which Way to Talk
About the Reciprocity
Treaty.

h. aA- . ~
WASHINGTON, d. e. Feb. g.. Sen
ator Cummins is having a hard time
making up his mind which will be the
popular side for him to take ON Cana
dian reciprocity. Hard pressed on
every hand with letters and telegrams
demanding to know where he stands,
the senior Iowa senator's brow is
creased by deep thought. He would
rather chop off his right hand than
follow the lead of Senator Young and
attack the treaty, yet he fears that if
he supports the treaty, which is mani
festly against the prosperity Of the
million farmers in Iowa. whose best
interests he is supposed to represent,
it will mean certain defeat when he
comes up for reelection. He is put
ting in overtime pondering over the
treaty schedules trying to see day
light, and Is promising that he will be
able to decide as to his probable at
titude and make public statement
early next week. The predicament in
which the Iowa insurgent finds him
self is causing all sorts of merriment
to his fellows in both houses and he
is the subject of great deal of good
natured raillery

WAS GOING
AFTER A LEMON
Found TWO Burglars Instead and Was
Helpless Without His
Trousers.

NEW YORK, Feb. Only the lack
of a pair of trousers, which the in
truders thoughtfully secreted, pre-
vented Frederick Hassiuger from
capturing two burglars who early in
the morning emerged from his
home, in Leonard street, Williams
burg, after he had discovered them
in the act of robbing the place.
When they fled to the street Has
singer returned to his room to get
his trousers. but the burglars had
rified the pockets and then hidden
them. Hassinger ran to the door
and shouted for policeman, while
he sadly saw the two burglars dis
appearing down Leonard street with
$1,000 worth OF property.
Hassinger had been troubled with
a sore throat, and when he awoke
coughing and choking, he started
downstairs to get a lemon to relieve
his distress. AS he entered the din
ing room he surprised the intruders.

SENATE TIE VOTE
SEVERED BY SHERMAN
On TWO Separate Roll Calls on Ocean
Mail Subsidy Bill, Vote
Was Even.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3.-The sen.
ate passed the ocean mail subsidy
bill, which authorizes the postmaster
general to enter into contracts for
carrying the mails to South American
ports and to the Philippines, Japan,
China and Australia, at rate of 81
mile on the outward voyage. to YES
sells of the second class, and So mile
on the outward voyage to vessels of
the third class.
The bill limits the amount of the
subsidy to be paid in any one year to
s4,0o0,000, and further provides that
it shall not exceed the amount OF
money received on account of foreign
mails.
The bill passed the senate under
conditions that give very little en-
couragement to Its friends On two
separate roll calls on the passage of
the measure the vote was tie, SO to
80, and the vice president exercised
his prerogative Of voting and thus
saved the measure from defeat Even
then the bill would have failed but
for the absence of the new democratic
senator from West Virginia, Clarence
Watson, who took the oath of office
this morning at the urgent request
OF his democratic colleagues, to en-
able the democrats to get rid of one
republican vote and to add one demo-
cratic vote in opposition to the
measure.

American eunboat Headed for Home
With Nine Men on Board
Down With the
Disease.
CAUGHT IN HONDURAS
Marietta is Ordered to Hurry to Key
West Where The Sailors Can
Be Given Prompt
Treatment.

WASHINGTON, Feb. with nine
men aboard Ill, possibly with yellow
FEVER, the American gunboat Marietta
is now on her way from Puerto Cortez,
Honduras, to Key West, Fla. She
sailed from Central American waters
under orders from the navy depart
ment, which were issued as soon as
the officials here were advised that
the stricken men were suspected of
having yellow fever.
The navy department was advised
OF the illness among the crew Of the
American vessel in a wireless dis
patch received from Commander Coop
er of the Marietta.
1t is not certain that the disease is
yellow fever, and the naval officer in
his report specifically stated that the
outbreak was only suspected of be-
ing the dread malady The depart.
ment was unwilling to take any
chances, and for that reason immed-
lately ordered the vessel to an Amer
ican port. where the proper measures
could be taken for the treatment OF
the stricken seamen and the protec-
tion Of tna II nainder o. The crew.
The departure of the Marietta from
Honduras water will not materially
affect the necessary naval representa-.
tion of the United States in Central
America in connection with the Bonil-
la revolution, as the gunboat Wheel
ing Is now on the way to Puerto
Cortez, and is expected to arrive at
that port Saturday.
1t is explained at the navy depart
ment that the Marietta was ordered
to Key West because the health and
marine hospital service has hospital
at Dry Tortugas, off the coast of
Florida, ideally adapted to the isola-
ton Of the patients and the treatment
OF the disease, if it develops that it is
yellow fever. None OF the officers of
the vessel has yet been seized by the
illness, so far as the department is
advised. The medical officers on
board the Marietta. it is said. un-
doubtedly will be able to diagnose the
disease before the vessel arrives at
Key West.
1t is now suspected that the death
OF Coxswain Minor of the Marietta a
few days ago positively was caused
by yellow fever Originally the belief
was expressed that the coxswain died
of dengue fever. There are about $50
men aboard the Marietta.
