HOW WOULD THIS DO2

Referring to Mr.. Grimsley's letter
of last week, in which he took us to
task for opposing, as he declared.
MIR. Roaylls bill to give each old sol!
dier and their widows, one hun dred
dollars each per year, we have this
suggestion to make to Mr.. Grimsley /:
Urge Mr.. Royal to introduce a bill
and have it passed, instructing or per-
hitting the Board of Supervisors of
these counties to appropriate from
the Treasures of Tazewell and Buch.
anan counties sufficient funds to give
the old veterans in these counties
the sum of 500 per year, or such an
amount which added to their present
pensions would make up the one
hundred dollars proposed by Mr.. Roy
all. If you mean to help the old SOL
diers, here is the opportunity. Pulaski
makes special appropriation for their
old soldiers. Let Mr.. Royal try this
scheme in his Senatorial District. He
was elected upon platform which
declared for more money for the old
soldiers. Let Mr.. Grimsley, who is
from Buchanan county. and Mr.. Roy
all, from 1azewell, elected to the SEN
ate from these two counties, get to-
gether, and test the matter as to who
is opposed to pensioning the old SOL
diers to the amount of one hunrded
dollafA per year.

IS THE JOBBER DOOMEDa

A clipping from the New York
Times, published in another column
of this Issue presents flood fol
thought, and touches upon a bject
of momentous interest to the consum-
ers of this country. AS now organized
every commodity must bear at least
three. perhaps more, profits before
reaching the consumer. Will the time
ever come when the manufacturer
will deal directly with the retailer,
or moro direct still with the consum-
err?
A merchant of this town quoted q
comparatively low price on suit OF
clothing. assigning as reason fol
his ability to do so, that he purchased
all his clothing from the manufacture
ers, direct. This is entirely possible
and practicable with the heavier and
staple lines of goods of all kinds, and
where possible should reduce the cost
of the article to the consumer, who
pays it all freight, profits
and all.
drummer, travelling out of Balti
more. said recently, that there is a
feeling among many of the large job
bling houses t hat their day is waning.
1t is becoming moro and more neces-
sary to carry larger stocks, or buy in
larger quantities, to engage larger
number Of expensive statesmen on the
road. all of which expense the con-
sumer has to pay, and is trying every
chance he gets, to avoid. Here is
where the mail order house gets in
its work. Its catalog goes direct into
the home and states among other
arguments, many of them specious-
I'VE buy in enormous quantities and
sell direct from the factories-no ex-
pensive statesmen or middlemen's pro-
fit to pay" 1t is claimed that the
only hope of the smaller merchants
will be, when these changes come, to
get'in touch with the big factories
direct and have his goods put down
with no intermediate handling and
expense. The passing of the jobber,
If he ever passes, will mean the i'm
provement and betterment in every
way, of the retail store. This will be

opinion it will be several .smoons yet
before the jobber-the mddleman {"
passes. In many respects he is n
great convenience, and in some res
poets, under existing conditions, a
necessity.

Experience has shown that the
water bound macadam road, popular
and satisfactory a decade ago, will
not stand the ravages of automobile
traffic. The motor vehicle is here to
stay and road makers must. therefore
build highways that will Withstand
modern conditions of traffic. These
conditions demand that a road must
not only be smooth and solid, but it
must be dustless and durable. Power

that the practice of bonding roads by

with it. You are obliged to admit
that the Republican party has the
best plan of organization, in one par
ticular at least-the election of the
county committee. They have a MEM
Der from each voting precinct. We
have as many as five at one precinct,
and Republican one at that. We
have several Democratic precincts,
and no member of the committee
represents them. This should be chan
ged, and have committeeman from
each precinct. Now, Mr.. Editor,
in view of these conditions md sever
al others that do exist, that great
majority of our party are dissatisfied
with, and in order to encourage and
secure harmony in our ranks, which ]
believe have shown themselves to be
the best fighters of all the fighting
Ninth, | suggest that you call on the
Chairman and ask him to include in
his call for the mass meeting the fact
that there will be reorganization
from Chairman to Janitor-that the
old committee will resi- gn, and several
have suggested their intention to do
so. That the Magisterial districts
will get together and select one mem
her from each voting precinct, and
after these having been elected, they
will Immediately get together and
elect Chairman. This, believe
will bring about harmony and we can
then face common enemy and get
back into the good graces of our sis
ter counties. Yours.
Feb. 5. MINORITY.
The above is passed up to the men,
bers of the County Committee, lead
ing Democrats in the county, and all
others interested, for their considera-
ton, and such disposition as they may
see fit, if any, to make of the sug-
gestion. The columns of this paper
arc open, and expressions OF opinion
are invited. If conditions can be i'm
proved, and you know how to improve
them, say so, for the good of the
cause, ana patient hearing is guar
anteed. We feel safe in stating that
Chairman Higginbotham and every
member of The Committee will admit
that they do not know it all, and are
willing to hear patiently and care
fully any suggestion from any Demo-
crat in the county.
For some time and at various an d
sundry times, whisperings and rumors
of discomfort and dissatisfaction have
been current in certain quarters, and
criticisms of the management of the
party affairs in the county, have been
heard. Now, that something has been
put in type, let the whole mater be
discussed and settled. AS suggested
by Minority" the Democrats of the
county should be called at the proper
time, and either endorse the present
county organization, and pledge
hearty cooperation and support, or
else elect an entirely new one. If
there be cause for criticism and dis
satisfaction this cause should be re-
| moved. If not, then do the steel-trap
stunt--shut up. We hope that further
articles on this matter, should there
be any. will not take all their space
in criticism, but use goodly part of
it in suggestion of methods for the
advancement of the party in the
county.
