ANOTHER BOND ISSUE

Another bond issue is talked of
for Wise county. The road builders
find that the issue of $500, 900 will
not be sufficient to build roads all
over the county. The more the people
see of the new improved roads the
more they want of the same kind.
We predict the same for Tazewell.
When the issue of $3.50, 900 is ex-
pended, and the value of the new
roads made evident there will be n
demand for ut least $3.50, 900 addi-
tional to be spent on the cross country
roads. A million dollar debt for Wise,
Russell or Tazewell would be insig-
nificant, compared with the value of
good roads all over the county. The
people of Tazewell are willing to pay
for luxuries, and there is no greater
luxury than good roads, to say no.

Besides being mentally, morally and
physically the man for the place,
Governor Montague is Progressive

the beginning of new epoch as well

to their death because of perjury upon

SEED CORN FOR 1918

Now is the time, the big corn
growers tell us, to select seed corn
for next year. To wait until the corn
is in the shuck will be too late, and
until cribbed, will be still worse. At
this season the size and character of
the stalk can be easily and accurately
judged. If the same corn is to be
grown on the farm next year as this
year, select the seed ears before the
corn is cut and and shocked. The size
and character of the ear can be deter
mined in the crib, perhaps, as well as
on the stalk, but this is not all The
size and height of the stalk, the dis
lance of the ear from the ground, the
character of the stalk which grew
next to tall these and other i'm
portant questions cannot be fully de-
termined after the corn is cut. The
way is, we believe, to go through the
field, pick out the choicest ears, tie
string of some kind around the
stalk, and at cutting time have these
marked stalks put together. Any way
so as to mark you selections. The
State of Virginia is losing hundreds
of thousands of dollars every year as
result of planting weak, sorry seed.
AS well expect to raise a great colt
or COW from immature, ll-bred scrub
parents, as to grow a great crop from
poor seed. Now is the time to select,
or to get ready to select seed for 1913.

WOMEN TO THE FRONT.

The women are forging to the front,
these good days. A large delegation
waited on Governor Wilson few days
ago, and assured him of their support.
A strong league was formed, which
will work Cor his election. They were
not suffragists, only plain, intelli-
gent, American women. Mr.. Wilson
made an address, in which he said
that when the woman take an interest
in governmental affairs it means
better government.
In number of states, including
Ohio, Michigan and other states
there are women candidates for high
offices, from Governor down. In all
these states the liquor interests are
lined up solidly against the women

SOMETHING UNUSUAL

Have you noticed one unusual thing
about the Presidential campaign this
time? We mean the usual business
stagnation, common to presidential
years. While the country has not
fully recovered from the Republican
panic of five years ago, business is
no worse than year ago, but slowly
getting better all the time. The
country does rot seem to be disturbed
or depressed by the certainty of the
election of Mr.. Wilson. "Big bust
ness does not seem to be throwing
fits, but calmly accepting the situa-
tion. Had you noticed this unusual
condition of things?
The business men, great corpora
tions and trusts, it seems, have ac
copied the inevitable, and are not
giving themselsevs or anybody else,
trouble as usual, pending a change in
the administration. There is no "cala-
nifty howl" so familiar in former
campaigns. Truth is, the nation is
progressing in intelligence, and this
is moving towards the attainment of
freedom. This great movement to-
wards a better government has its
root in the schools. Shackles, forged
by tradition, poverty and even wealth
are alike CALLING, and are being bro
ken. Selfshness decreases as intelli-
gence increases. Mllionaires are
coming to find that money is vexa-
ton of spirit. The feeling seems to
be one of safety. The more money
one has, it appears, the fewer friends
the less freedom and contentment
The people, rich and poor, are finding
out where the hurt is. One man has
no right to become rich or afiluent by
expressing another man, and every
man has a right to the full reward of
his labors.
All men should be equal before the
law, and have an inherent right to
freedom. These fundamental princi-
Piles are embodied in the political
struggle now going on. and their final
triumph will be no surprise or cause
for wonder. The Fatherhood of God
and the Brotherhood of Man, means
freedom and equality, or at least the
right so to be.

Sidna Edwards Sentenced
ar-ar- She.

Judge Stables, in sentencing young
Sidna Edwards to fifteen years in the
penitertiary for participation in the
Hillsville shooting affair, gave the
following charge:
"By your plea you have taken the
first step possible to you in the direc-
ton of atonement for tire terrible
crime and of rebuilding the founda-
tions of your life. by agreement with
the Commonwealth your punishment
is fixed at fifteen years confinement
in the penitentiary.
This may, under the Law. be
shortened by your good behavior but
you should, and hope you will, have
Il Shigher incentive to upright and
manly living than the mere purpose
of abbrevatng your punishment. The
period at which you may be restored
to liberty is of far less Importance to
you than the use and end to which
that liberty may serve you. 1t will be
of no value to you if you are not then
prepared to cherish it as the creates I

'You can never be prepared to ap-
preciatc it's full value to yourself un-
less you are likewise prepared to
recognize the rights of others to the
full measure of its enjoyment, and
this means to recognize as the first
great duty of every citizen to live by
the law, according to its commands
and yielding a willing obedience to
all of is DEGREES. For after all crime
is nothing but rebellion against the
law and the fruit of crime is to be
denied the benefits which it offers to
obedience. | want to repeat to you
what hope you will remember: That
your liberty will, when it comes
mean nothing to you beyond what you
have prepared yourself to make of it.
You are yet Il young man; you will be
released from prison short of the mid
die age of life. and sooner if you de-
serve 1T. Let these years be spent in
cheerful, willing obedience to the
authorities. Train yorr heart and
mind to look upon your punishment as
just. Look upon each day of your
prison life, if well spent, as a part
payment upon IL debt owed by you to
society to the end that when you are
released society and your fellowmen
may shake hands with you as upon a
full acquittance OF the past and as an
assurance of assistance to higher
and better life.

that you be remanded to the custody

tendent of the penitentiary there to
