Liquor Bottles

A certain citizen of this town, MIR.
John w. Moore, requests this paper
to say, that certain we'll known
people of bibulous propensities are
forbidden to throw their empty liquor
bottles and boxes into his garden and
back lot. Every few days it is neces-
sary to have regular cleanup after
these citi Zens who are wasting their
wives and children's money for liquor
and destroying their health and pros
poets in life by drinking. At any
rate, they should not throw their
empty bottles in another mans 8 yard.
Throw them in your own lot and your
wife and children will be able to judge
of the amount of liquor you are drink
ng, and. of what becomes of your
money.

Timely Warning

Here is note of warning which
should be sounded over and over again.
DR.. Peter Winston, a member of the
State Board of Charities and C0rrec-
tion, was in Tazewcl a day or two
recently, returning from an official
inspection of the asylum at Marion,
and other institutions. There are
about 700 inmates of the asylum at
Marion, in the different departments
mental, moral and physical wrecks.
DIR. Winston was asked if he knew
the chief cause of the ruined condition
of these unfortunates, and he replied
readily, "dissipation and self-abuse. "
There are criminal insane, tuhercular
patients, crazy people, curablc and
incurable, of all ages and both sexes,
whose trou bles and woes are sef-in-
llicted for the most part. for the doc
trine of heredity as to disease is no
longer held. Will the young men,
and women too. with all these ex-
amples before them and similar ex-
amples and warnings of the ages,
take heed? Assuredly. some of them
will not-some of them cannot. They
have already gone too far. The red
signal is waved in their faces every
day. The asylums, penitentiaries,
electric chairs, hell, are all doing a
flourishing business, working over
time to consume material fed into
them by the Demon of Drink and his
cohorts of black allies-material out
of which the good and the great could
be easily made, and which is so sadly
needed in this sin-cursed world. Will
the boys think and act? Some of them
will, but Marion, Staunton. Catawba,
Williamsburg, the Sing Sings, will
be crowded still. The forger of chains
is doing business, day and night, at
the same old stands and in the same
old way. els there no balm in Gill
lead? Is there no physician there?'

Dog Days

The Query Editor of the News
Leader gives the following throws
light on Dog Days: "Dog days was
the name applied by the ancients to a
period of about forty days in the
hottest part of the year at the time
that Sirius, the dog star, rose at
about the same time as the sun. The
heat, which is usually most oppres-
sive at this season, was ascribed by
them to the conjunction of Sirius with
the sun. We still retain the express
sion dog days as applied to the hot
test days of the summer, but, owing
to the procession of the equinoxes it
is no longer the time of the rising of
the dog star with the sun, in fact, in
time the dog star may rise in the
dead of winter.'

C. BASCOM SLEMP
NOMINATED AGAIN
Ninth District Congressman
Forced to Accept Nomi-
nation For Congress.

Honorable C b. Slemp was re-
nominated at Bristol on Wednesday to
succeed himself as n representative
in Congress. by the Republicans of
the Ninth District. He was nominat-
ed on the first ballot, receiving 4OS
of the CAT votes cast. Dougherty, the
Bull Mooser, received only 90 votes.
The convention is said to have been
stormyone, but the steam roller, as
at Chicago, did fine work. ilattening
out several would-be great reformers,
and bringing to front again the stand
pat candidate--the leader of n waning
cause, G. Bascom Slemp. MIR. Slemp
positively declined to accept tho nomi-
nation if rendered him. hence there ia
still some doubt. The papers state,
that after all the blustcr and bluff ON
the part of the Bull Moose people.
that MI the delegates, including the
Bull Moosers, pledged their supptrt
to MIR. Slemp.
The resolutions adopted sound fami-
liar and old-timey. Allegiance to the
Republican party is rennirmed the
administration of Mr.. Taft is endors-
ed, also the doctrine of protective
tariir. the Democratic party denounced
Tor extravaganza, and General Ayers
condemned because he was n member
of the Constitutional Convention, and
other such rags are chewed over and

been an appropriate hymn for tho oc-
casion.

The Garden Spot

Or. Peter Winston, of Farmville,
paid us brief visit during the past
week. He was delighted to meet a
considerable number of friends and
acquaintances whom he had met here
on former visits. His visit, only too
brief, was to relatives in the family
of the editor of this paper.
Or. Winston was enthusiastic in
delight, as before, at the lavish be-
stowment of beauty and grandeur by
Dame Nature on this favored section.
The present contrast of luxuriant
crops and vegetation with the SUM-
burnt fields and long protracted
drought of his section, he found re-
freshing indeed Our visitor. as
member Nf the Board of Charities and
Correction, has been inspecting our
State institutions at Lynchburg.
Catawba and Marion. These are great
charities, but the ever increasing
claimants for place and treatment in
the State at large OH these already
crowded institutions call loudly and
distressingly for more money and
larger equipment.
DIR. Winston, as secretary of the
Board of Health, learns with pleasure
that the health of Tazewell is excep-
tlonally and unusually good. He is
confident, from expressions heard on
every hand, that before his next visit

Income Tax

The Times Dispatch, in recent
issue, gives quite interesting infor-
nation on the income tax returns of
Lynchburg and Roanoke, showing
that Lynchburg, the smaller of the
two cities by 5000 population, turns
in very much larger number of in
comes over $4,000 than does Roanoke.
For instance, Roanoke, with about
35, 600 people returns only 1O3 per-
sons with incomes greater than $4,000,
while Lynchburg, with 5000 less
population, turns in 318 people whose
income is more than $4,000.
Either the people of the pompous
city of Roankoe are making much
less money than the people of the
Hill City, or else the commissioners
of the revenue are at fault. The
significant statement is made that "it
has been recognized for years that
the people of Lynchburg give in a
very large proportion of their property
for taxation" 1t is not claimed that
all of it, but only "a large proper
tion" of the property is given in.
Why all of it is not given in is not
stated. The tax question is a puzzle.
The State of Virginia is losing hun
dreds of thousands of dollars every
year through, either the inequality of
the tax law or the ignorance or care
lessness of the commissioners, and
the matter should be taken up by the
courts and grand juries. 1t is wagered
that the number of people in this
town and county who give in more
than $4,000 income can be counted on
the fingers of your hands, and have
several fingers left. In next week s
paper a list will be published, taken
from the public records. There is
some confusion in the minds of many
taxpayers as to what is meant by the
term Income. whether gross or net,
and the question should be definitely
settled. The article referred to gives
the names of the 318 people in
Lyncbhurg and the 1O3 in Roanoke
who gave in more than $4,000 income
to the commissioner.

May Sue County

The following is taken from the
Graham letter to the Blueiield Tele-
graph, Aug. 27:
1t is reported here that the estate
of the late Mrs. Joseph Burress, who
met her death at the home of Anse
Burress last Sunday week by being hit
with piece of dynamite cap, con-
templates instituting damage suit
against the county of Tazewell, on
he grounds that the county was neg
ligible in permitting the dynamite
caps to be carelessiy handled, making
it easy for boys and irresponsible
persons to have access to them The
caps in possession of the Colwel and
Burress boys had been picked up, it
is claimed, by the boys from one of
the road camps. The road work in
that section is being done by force
account by the county. 1t is further
stated here that an effort will be
made to send both the Colwell and the
Bruress boy, who are charged with
being responsible for Mrs. Burress
death, to the reform school at Rich
mond. The Burress boy is a brother
of Joseph Burress, husband OF the
dead woman.

Major Tynes III

Major A. j. Tynes has been i'll at
his home on Tazewell Avenue, for the
past week, with eresypelas. One of
his arms was the seat of the attack,
from which he has suffered great
pain. His entire body was, of course,
more or less affected and his condi-
tion at one time was alarming. At
this writing he is better, and his
physician thinks he will be up again.
This useful, active and we'll known
citizen is not as young as he once
was, and violent attack of sickness
of any kind alarms his family and
friends. md so it has been this time.
The public has been anxious, and will
be glad to know that he is getting
better.
