Alfalfa Questions ?

The following is n reply to qucs-
tion asked the Stockman and Farmer
about mouldy hay and alfalfa. The
reply is interesting and of impor-
lance. Several people have remarked
in our hearing, that mouldy hay will
kill horses. The truth is, perhaps,
that hay sufficiently mouldy to injure
horses will not be eaten by them at
all. Robert Moss, Burke's Garden,
says, "that one of the finest lunches
of cattle he ever turned on grass in
the spring were wintered on mouldy
hay Moudy hay is not as good as
hay that is not mouldy, of course, but
is not, on that account worthless.
J. A. L., Virginia writes: "Somc
of my alfalfa and red clover is
slightly mouldy. Will this injure the
food value, or injure horses and cows
if fed to them? Does alfalfa analyze
about the same growth in all soils.
We are just waking up to the impor-
lance of this great hay crop in this
section, and want to know all about
it, as far as possible. Some of our
farmers think alfalfa grown here
may not be as rich and nutritious as
that grown in warmer sections.
1t is difficult to determine whether
there would be any bad effect from
feeding hay little mouldy. | have
not often fed it and had no i'll effect
from it, but very much of course
would depend upon how mouldy the
hay was. There is n slight difference
in the analysis of legumes grown on
different soils as there is also in that
of nom legminous plants. Don't worry
about the alfalfa not being nutritious
That is grown in this country. If you
worry at all let that be over the fact
thatyou cannot grow enough of il 1t
is better than any other roughage we
can grow in this state.

NEW COURT HOUSE

The committee appointed recently
by the judge of the crciuit court 10
examine the court house, and find if
such repairs could be made to the old
building that would make it adequate
to the demands of the county, after n
thorough investigation of the matter,
have concluded that the only safe and
made, would be to tare down the old
Anticipated building and erect Il mod
ern one on the present site. Those
who have given the matter thorough
investigation are firmly convinced
that it would be a waste of money to
undertake to patch up the old build
ing. AS the matter now stands the
records of the county, many of which
could never be replaced. are not pro-
tected from fire in case the court
house burns. Several counties
in Southwest Virginia have paid
dearly for poor protection for the
county clerks records deeds, con-
tracts, etc. The Board of Supervisors
desire an expression from the people
on the matter before any Definite
action is taken.
1t must be understood ut the outset,
however, that the contractor who
builds the new courthouse must not
put up a job on the county as seems
to have been done in case of the jail
cells.

Didn't Happen in TazeweIl

Two Republican candidates for tn e
Presidency are foretelling panic in
the event of Democratic success in
November.
Only five years have elapsed since
the Roosevelt panic. In spite of
present-day boasts of prosperity,
some people think it's force is not yet
spent.
In 1907, when Mr.. Roosevelt was
President, the number of American
workmen out of employment-more
Than 1000, 000-was the largest ever
known on this continent.
Panics are never desirable, but if
we must have panics let us have
something else than a Roosevelt
panic. IN. Y. World
The New York World evidently
had no business transactions with the
Tazewell county banks during the
Roosevelt panic. Every bank in the
county, and majority of those in
Southwest Virginia paid promptly de-
mand for cash made upon them during
this critical financial period

Editor Harry M. Smythe.
Richmond Journal.

ANiNhhHo'h' oouiilul.
The Cumberland Progress, publish
ed at Appalachia, Va, which has for
sometime been edited by the Hon. fl
M. Smythe, has changed editors by
reason of the retirement of Mr. Smythe
from the newspaper field. Mr.. w. d.
Roberts succeeds him.
Mr.. Smythe, besides being a veri-
table old war horse Of journalism,
made an enviable reputation in the
diplomatic service in lInyti under the
Cleveland administration when talent
cd white representatives, were select
cd as ministers plenipotentiary from
this country to that republic instead
of negroes, as now
The Clinch Valley News refers to
MIR. Smythe's career in way which
reminds us that it has tcon many
years since we first NO. this undaun,
ed and stalwart advocate of the peo-
pie, as with spreading head gear,
flowing lock and towering folm, he
used to participate in Democratic
State conventions representing his be-
loved Southwest.
The Clinch Valley News says:
MIR. Smythe has bad long and
somewhat cventful career as n news
paper man, covering period of more
than thirty-tive years, during which
time he has performed brilliant ser
vice as writer. He has reached that
stage on the road. which all of us are
destined to reach sooner or later,
when we must turn over the work to
younger men-the age of the scar
and yellow leaf. The" salutatovy" of
the new editor puts the Governor 8
age at 'ninety-six". We had no idea
he was quite so ancient, and "seven-
ty-siX, or hereabouts, was evidently
misprinted ninety-siX. The retiring
editor proposes to give banquet in
1916, next presidential year. Should
he be SHARED four years we will have
century editor if that ninety six is
correct. Long live the Governor, "
at any rate. He has many friends
who wish for him only sunshine as
he descends the path we all must
tread May there be light at even
tide -
We join in best wishes for the re-
firing editor of the Cumberland Pro-
pressive, who. since the early days of
the Pocahontas Headlight, which he
founded, has taken foremost part
in, the development of that section.
May his latter years be his best and
bring him ample happiness in pay
ment of his long years of excellent
public service. -Richmond Journal.

ARE YOU A GOAT?

Elsewhere in the News, we publish
an editorial from the Lynchburg Pro-
gressive, the new daily paper recent
ly established in Lynchburg, in the
interests of the Progressive cause.
The article in question calls upon the
Progressives in Southwest Virginia to
vote against Slemp, and gives as a
reason that he is stand patter of the
old school. Our contemporary further
states that "any progressive who
votes for Slemp is goat. Mr..
Slemp said, himself, in an interview
given in Washington on July 9th,
that the Progressive party in Vir-
ginia is made up disappointed office
seekers, who are acting through NAL
ice, and are not sincere in their mo-
tive.
Vote for Ayers seems to be the
only course left to the Bull Mooser,
who wants the policies of their leader
put through congress.

A Question for Mr.. SIemp

"If not impertinent, we ask Mr..

NOT NOW AND NEVER HAVE
BEEN

The one plea of the Republican pa
pers against votes for Woodrow Will
SON. that specious one is the charge
that he is free trader. This exag-
gerated statement is then followed by
the worn out cry that n Republican
vote means a protective tariff and
prosperity, and that a Democratic
vote, free trade and ruin. But they
fool nobody. '-Evening Journal.
The Republican speakers and pa
pers in District are harping on the
same string. Not a mothers son of
them makes a speech or scribbles an
editorial, who does not drag in the
we'll worn, threadbare Ananiasism,
that a vote for Ayers and Wilson vote
Tor free trade. Do these gentlmen
know the difference between free
trade and tax for Revenue only. or
do they knowingly and wilfully lie
about it? 1t is high time this repre-
hensible inexcusable misrepresenta-
ton was rebuked and denounced with
words with the bark off. Democrats
are not now, never have been. and
never expect to be "Free Traders.
Toese would-be political teachers and
governmental scientists and cross
roads philosophers, get off in the
country where people do not read the
papers or books, and spin out great
yarns about free trade. Democratic
soup houses and such rot, and sue
coed in leading the blind into the
ditch. This has been done Tin this
District for years, and still being
done, and that. too, by many who
know better, but who seem to have
little conscience and less regar:. for
the truth. 1t should be STONED.
Every intelligent Republican, Bull
Moose or any other kind of moose
knows that the Democrats are not
free traders. Mr.. Roosevelt's disre-
gard for and reckless handling of the
truth has become infectious, and it
seems that some of his followers con-
slider it the thing to do now, to lie
about the Democratic position On the

MOTIVES OF Third
PARTY lNSINCERE
From The Daily Telegraph
(Rep.) of July 9, 1912.

Representative Bascom Slemp,
chairman of the Virginia Republican
state committee, has given out the
following statement regarding the
Roosevelt program for an independent
party:
elf the third party was legiti-
mate third party it would undertake
to get recruits from both the Demo
Gratis and the Republicans, and in
such a case it would be favored by a
great many individuals, who are look
ing for better conditions in the state
government, which, owing to the
weakness of the Republican party in
the state they cannot secure now
"But if the third party is going to
be composed, rs APPARENTLY it is in
Virginia of disappointed Office seekers
it will fail as i. ought to fail. The
Republican party has not enough
votes in Virginia to constitute a third
party and the only way it can be sue
cessful in building up a new organ
ization, and this, | fear. they will
not do because the motives of third
party are not sincere. They are act
ing from malice and not from any
fixed convictions so far as the good of
the United States is concerned. -

people of our district. devotiug my

Extract f,on C. b. Slemp's Letter of
Ac, eptance of Nomination for Con-
| g'es5.'
"Slemp admits here that he has
been attending to his own business.
when the people of the Ninth District
had elected him to attend to their
business, and he had been paid for
his service by the government. He
brings here serious charge against
himself. We have known of men be-
ing sent to Jail on charges not so
grave; but they were poor men. We
would like to hear what others think
! of this. He had trust-a contract
with his people to give them his time.
If he did not render this service, and
used his time or part of 1t to pile up
wealth, then it follows that he appro-
priated to his own cause what did not
belong to him; AID if he had no inside
| information for the "Invisible Gov
ernment' as to how profitably to use
his time, but had to direct his own
efforts, in so directing his efforts he
was taking from his people and the
government at large what the one had
| elected HIM to do and the other had
paid him to do.
We claim he was that in honor
bound Ito make the best Congress-
man that was in him to make and
to do this he would have had no time
left for his private business. We
would like to hear from MIR. Slemp
about this. 1t will do him no good to
say that MIR. Mr.. Martin, Mr., Swan
son, Mr.. Flood. and Mr.. Glass have
made lot of money the same way
| They perhaps will plead ignorance or
say that the way to make good Re-
preventative is to attend to something
else, or mess up in all kinds Of.
But this is another story.
The question is up to Mr. Slemp.
Was it right? Was it Honest for YOU
to neglect your public duties for your
private business? With your own
words you condemn yourself; unfaith-
full servant.
We want the farmers to think
| about this. If you had a man en-
pleyod to attend to your farm, and
this man was getting rich fast, while
| you had to pinch to make both ends
meet, what would you do? Wouldn't
you take your keys away from this
man at once? Must we write palmer
| than this?
Get together. my countrymen, or
ganize and vote together; it is your
duty to yourself, your families, and
your country,
