the rooms to the Court House afford
very little security, the door to the
Court Room itself being generally
left unlocked. or unsecured i'm an way.
The plan of the old Court House is
of such n character as we are of
opinion that it will be difficult, in
deed. to add to it. or remodel il; and,
II it be possible to do so. it would be
necessary for some skilled architect
to view it and make plans whereby
any additions could be made.
Numbers of witnesses are often
present during the sessions of the
Court and there is no place for them
to stay, in any numbers or in any
comfort, around about the Court
House. There are no lavatories that
can be used by either sex.
We are further of opinion that the
expense, in any additions that would
do any good, would cost Mt least half
as much as to construct n new Court
House. This Circuit is far behind all
the other Counties in the Southwest
in tho way of Court House, and the
same may he said of Nest Virginia.
When the residents of County have
gone through the ordeal of the de-
struction of their records, as most of
the adjoining Counties have. then
they wake up to the fact of the ne
cessity of secure buildings and vaults
that will save their treasures.
We unhesitatingly recommend that
an entirly new structure be built, up
to the modern standard and such n
structure as it il deserved and requir-
ed by great rich County like this
of ours. business is continually in
creasing, and, as long rs the people
prosper as they are doing, will con
tinue to increase. and it is not to the
credit of our County that we should
be 10 far behind and tolerate such an
insecure. unsanitary ana inadequate
plnce.
Respectfully submitted,
October Bid. 1912.

North Tazewell, October 10. 1912.
Editor Clinch Valley News:

Editor Clinch Valley News:
Dear Sir:-There is considerable
excitement at North Tazewel over
the prospect of having n new court
house building here. The citizens un-
derstand it has been practically de-
cided that it will be necessary to
ouild new courthouse-that being
the case, it seems that 1T would be
advisable to built it at the point that
will be more convenient ot the mass
es o. the people. You must admit
that to have the courthouse OH the
railroad would accommodate more
people in the county than where it
now stands. For instance, all parties
attending court on the line of the N.
and w. Railway, from Raven, Gra-
ham and Pocahontas, Va, would GER
tainly be benefited by having the
courthouse at North Tazew ell, besides.
it would be more convenient to all of
the citizens living north of the depot.
In fact. any one who is unbiased
would be compelled to admit that to
have our courthouse at North Taze-
well would benefit more people than
at the point at which it is now locat-
ed.
If the present courthouse is to be
torn down, it will cost very little to
haul such material as would be used
to North Tazewell, the grade being
down hill. Besides the citizens at
North Tazewell will donate a nice
site, and the writer has been reliably
informed that if necessary they will
subscribe liberal sum in addition to
furnishing the site.
So far as the Jail is concerned, we
understand everybody in the county
admits that it is practically worth
less. This material, such as could be
used, could also be hauled to North
Tazewell, and the Jail property could
be sold with the courthouse property.
They would realize pretty good sum,
therefore, the courthouse could be
built at this point at much less
sum than new courthouse could be
built at North Tazewell, besides be-
ing more convenient to the people.
If it is decided generally to build n
new courthouse, we presume, of
course, the citizens will be allowed
an opportunity to vote on it. That
being the case, we have no fear what
ever of bringing 1t to North Tazewell.
A CITIZEN.

Nine Prisoners Escape

Nine prisoners escaped from the
Tazewell Jail last Friday night or
early Saturday morning. They gained
their freedom by saving the bars.
Saws were COTTON to the prisoners by
some unknown means. 1t was stated
early in the week that the party who
carried the saws to the prisoners was
known, and would be arrested, but
nothing has developed in the matter
since. The prisoners, four of whom
were white men, scattered to differ
ent parts. A clue to the white men
was obtained from Horsepen last Sat
urday, but up to going to press none
of them have been arrested.
The following are the names of the
men, and the crimes with which they
are charged:
j. E. Dotson, 30 years old, weight
about 40 pounds. Home in Buchan-
an county, indicted for felony in Wy

Common Peoples
 Day Al The White
 House Brings Many

Washington. Jan. 4-Mr. Common People shook hands with MT. and Mrs. President right in the White House Monday.
 This is the ''big reception day" when all corners, no matter how they in life. may enter the White House and be received by the Chief Execu- tive if they will stand in line long enough.
 The Yale GIee club provided a spe- cial feature of the reception this year. They came with song and jest rom the Presidents alma mater and they were given special considerat ton. A reception was arranged in their hon. or and the boys, in return, sang sew eral specially composed glees, in which President Taft figured as the subject of the songs.
 It was the third time that President Taft and Mrs. Taft were hosts at the New Years reception and this year Mrs. Taft's health was better than on either of the former occasions.
 It was a great gala occasion with viding music and the crowds, forming for hours before the doors were flung open at Il o'clock, The buglerS Of the Marine band announced the ap- proach of the President at II and the Liz social event started with the usual military precision.
 The Presidential party came down the winding stairs and greeted vice President sherman. who was the first to extend the wishes for the coming year-the year of the national cleo tion marking the most important phase of the Presidents ambition: Then the members of the cabinet and their wives were greeted. The party walked to-the Blue Room and formed a receiving line to meet the diplo- matic corps.
 First of all the diplomats came the dean of the corps, Baron Hengelmul- Ter von Hengeryar. the erect, dist ng- uished looking AInh assador from Aus tria-Hungary. In. his full regalia,- the Baron presented a fine appearance at the head of the line. Behind him came the personal representatives or the rnonarchs and rulers of the world.

sib'e for one to catch" a cold, even under extraordinary exposure.
 However, having caught" your cold, the next thing to do is try. at once. to be done by entering a hot room, all at once, and doings things that change your temperature too suddenly. Such a proceeding is liable to aggra- vate the situation Occupy a room where the temperature is about 10 avoid draught there, even a warm one. But have the air pure and not dry. If the air is dry place a vessel with little water on the stove or fire, that the atmosphere may be some what moistened. Our forefathers and mothers knew of this when they kept the old time urn, with water in 1t, where 1t would cause the effect men toned.
 The chilliness and shivering that so often accompany the first stages of a cold are due to the disturbance of circulation caused by the diving of the blood from the surface, as men tioned before, and the exposure of the millions of tiny nerves at the surface which are depressed by the driving away of the blood circu ation. The chills and shivers are of a nervous nature. To relieve this condition is to the exercise of some patience and no little "bother.'' But that Is better to endure, than tc, face a fight with an attack of pleurisy, bronchitis or pneu- monia.
 The best ttTng to do is to take some energetic exerc SC. Then, after hav- ing become accustomed to the atmos- phere of the room, place the feet in hot water. Use tub, or other sma vessel deep enough to allow the limbs to be bathed in the hot water above the knees. From time to time have the hot water renewed, or kept to such a degree of heat as can be borne. Keep the feet in this bath from twenty to thirty minutes or longer, then with draw them while the water Is yet hot; dry the feet and legs, thoroughly, and wrap them a hot woolen blanket and get into bed When the feet and limbs have been c ammy, well as to the hot water reasonable quanti y Of vinegar or acetic acid. It is high ly beneficial to rub the feet and legs, after they have been dried and be'ore wrapping them in the hot blanket, VI tn hot olive oil.
 While the footbath is being taken, if the chilliness perseveres, take hot drinks. lemonade, ginger tea, or even thing in the nature of alcoholic drinks Alcohol, in all its form, is poisonous and is a false stimu ant. It should particularly be avoided when one is being doctored for a cold.
 When the cold is deep-seated use hot water bottles at the feet, or hot irons, the object being to attract the blood to those extremities and away Sometimes It is needful to place cold, wet towels over the spine and on the chest, covered with dry towe s, of course Let the diet be light and keep physics for this purpose but enemas If warm water, if the patient is in clined to be constipated.
