SHOP TALK.

The local papers are carrying n
less amount of advertising in their
columns just now than has been the
case in several years. For some rea-
son, unknown, the leading and veal
thy merchants of the town and COM
munity have refused to renew their
contracts this year, giving as rea-
son that the advertising in the Taze-
well papers does not pay. Therefore
this places the Tazewell papers in a
class by themselves, as it is a recog-
nized principle among all up to-date
merchants that advertising pays big
dividends The rule adopted by large
advertisers, and many small advertis-
ers, as well, is to lay aside ten per
cent of the profits for advertising,
which rule is adhered to strictly the
year around
The Tazewell papers, not like
many other papers in this section, are
run as business institutions. and
from mechanical standpoint, and
many say from a standpoint of county
news and opinions of it's editors. ex
coed, by far, any other county papers
published in SOUTHWEST Virginia. 1t
is well known and established fact
that a weekly newspaper cannot exist
long without the patronage of the
merchants, and where the town is
small and not many business houses
to draw from it is necessary that all
the merchants and business men give
their support to the newspapers. A
feature of the papers here, which
some have probably overlooked, is
that Tazewell newspapers have so fan
refused to publish liquor advertise
ments, in spite of the tempting offers
made by the whiskey dealers in this
section. However, if the leading
merchants and wealthy business men
don't care to invest a paltry sum in
the support of the county papers, we
believe they can live without it.

But always says: "Send it, the whole

NEW LAWS.

Bills on the question of equal sur-
rage and the insurance trust, among
many others, have already been intro
duced in the legislature.
TIE equal suffrage law will require,
if passed, an amendment to the Con-
stitution, and will, of course, be
several years getting into effect. The
re-enac tment of the Wharton Insur-
ance Law, or some other remedial
Legislation, should be passed and made
operative ut once. The insurance mi
putty should be blotted out. The law
makers of Virginia know how the
people are oppressed and how they
feel about The matter, and they also
know that they have the remedy in
their own hands. 1t is up to them.
Failure this time and the worm will

1T is GROWING.

Some weeks ago this paper, and
several others, came out more or less
positively in favor of the abolition of
capital punishment. The charge of
"sentimentalism" was heard from
several sources, and the hue and crv
of the protection of society" was
raised and the papers advocating the
lite sentence instead were charged
with being "the enemies of society. {"
etc. Recently the Governor of New
York has declared in favor of the
abolition of the death penalty. and
the Go vernon of Massachusetts is also
on the same side, as is also Mr.. Scott
the State Superintendent of Prisons
of the State of New York. AS the
years go by the number of these
humanitarians will increase, and the
number of barbarians decrease until

himself has the right to take human

NO MORE SHAM BATTLES.

The Roanoke Times, in speaking of
hte Democratic convention to be held
in Bristol, March Goth, among other
things says, as copied in our last is.
sue:
1.-The convention will be a very
different body from the last one and
will meet and act in very different
spirit. Two years ago there was a
very general feeling that a forlorn
hope was being organized The idea
was to make fight more for the
sake Of fight and to maintain or
ganization than with any real hope of
winning. This year the convention will
meet full of confidence and ginger,
sure that its nominee will occupv a
seat in the house to succeed Mr..
Nslemp."
The editorial goes on to say that
Stuart was nominated by an enthus-
iastic convention in which the homes
were faint and few, and we are as
sured that the next candidate will 20
against a broken and disorganized
Republican party, and be absolutely
assured of election We don't know
and consequently cannot speak for the
the other Observation-Disclosures in
the district. but for this5ffttle paper,
it is newsasastonishing news-that
the Democratic leaders. including Mr..
Stuart, fought the hard fight last year
believing all the time the fight would
be useless. If they fought SO. they
succeeded admirably in making this
newspaper. and the rank and file be-

lieve otherwise. We fought like fury
for Stuart, believing all the time that
he would win and that he also believ-
ed he would in. No hint of anything
else ever reached our ears. The Roam
oke Times, too, stood on it's hind feet,
paved the air and proclaimed aloud
that Stuart was as sure of victory as
"ninepence was for ticker" Other
papers said the same, but it appears
now that all this was only make be-
licve-only feigning. About the only
thing, accomplished after reducing
the majority and causing the expendi-
ture of about two hundred thousand
dollars or more, was to make the
track for Mr.. Stuart clear and smoo-
the to the gubernatoriai chair, and
this was something, to be sure, and a
great thing, too, but what we don t
exactly enjoy about the campaign is
to be told now that the leaders did
not expect to win. A man or news
paper should not complain for being
"empty-headed" and gullible, but it
makes him mad for the great ones,
the bosses, to take advantage of his
misfortune. For our part we want no
more sham battles. They do no harm
to the enemy but discourage and
make fools of the fellows who fire
them. This may not be an apt figure
of speech, but it expresses about
what we feel. This newspaper has
fought many losing battles in Taze-
well, but in every case, except the
one referred to, expected to lose,
and it is ready to do the same again,
but it is uncomfortable to be told
afterwards that we were misled. and

had committed only murder?
The law is manifestly unjust and
inadequate. A man charged with muir
der in the first degree often goes I'M
punished, whereas, if the penalty
were less he would have been punish
ed. Years ago there were more than
two hundred crimes for which capital
punishment was inflicted. These have
nearly all been abolished. Why not
go one step further and abolish all?
For one crime only-thc crime of
assault upon women, should the death
penalty be inflicted, and even here,
many wise men think that another
punishment would be more deterrent.
Why kill fellow man? Figures
show that crime is not increased in
those States which have abolished
capital punishment.

equal to death so far as protection

gives the poor, unfortunate devil a

Women and War.

They say you cannot make good
soldiers out of women. You have
never tried. There was race at one
time, believe, that had an army of
women. and it's traditional repute in
history stands very high. The women
gave up the job; they thought it was
better suited to the intellects of men.
But after all, men, of course, are
better for some tasks; women are
better for others equally important.
Men make the better soldiers. women
make the better nurses. After all.
the healing 70 wounds is nober
work than the infiicting of them.
What is more, it demands higher
qualities of brain and heart.
War, after all, is not a permanent
stitution. Heaven forbid that it
should be. The duel is vanishing, and
| think you will see war receding
along the same dark road. And if the
women by their presence on the re-
gister saved US from the infamy of
single war they would have justified
their vote before God and man. And
when women get the vote, not merely
here but on the Continent, for the
is not confined to this
/ think you will find that the
mothers of these great countries will
see that the fields of Europe are not
drenched with the blood of their sons.

PERCENTAGE TOO SMALL.

1t is stated that the question of
statewide prohibition will not be sub
mitted to the people this year. Thsre
is decided and stubborn opposition to
the measure in the Senate, and it is
not at all certain now that the House
can muster majority in its favor.
To an outsider it seems strange
that the people should be denied the
privilege of vote on the question.
The measure proposed permits the
people to say whether or not they
want statewide prohibition. The bill,
known as the enabling act, provides
that if as many as twenty five per
cent of the voters petition for an
election that the petition be granted
and the election ordered. We would
like this bill better if the required
percentage was forty instead of TWEEN
ty-five. Just why twenty five per
cent was fixed upon we don't know. 1t
seems to us that the required per
centage should have been at least
forty or fifty per cent, and think this
percentage could have just as easily
been secured as the twenty five, else
there would seem to be small hope of
carrying the election before the peo-
pie. AT any rate this question should
be settled. The State will make the
experiment, as other states have
done, and this would seem to be as
gooc time as ever. The experiment
has been made by other states adjoin.
ing, and their experience is before
the state.
If Virginia wants statewide prohi-
bition let it come. Nothing short of
an actual trial will satisfy the advo-
Gates of the measure. We have never
gotten very far beyond the local op-
ton line, but nevertheless, if nothing
else will do let us try statewide. Ger
tain it is, that local option is a fail
ure in many respects, and so will be
statewide so long as liquor is permit
ted to be shipped into dry territory.
In fact local option is much prefer
able by drinkers than the open saloon.
They Can get all they want without
the trouble, expense and possible
evils of the open saloon.
AS preventive measure local op-
ton is great failure in this section.
With Bluefield within one half minute
call, and two trains a day we
fail to see how statewide prohibition
is going to be much if any better
than local option.

Bald Heads not Wanted

Badness is too Generally Consi-
dered Sign of Advanced Age
A bald-headed person does not
have an equal chance with one
blessed with healthy head Of
hair, because badness is too
generally accepted as an indica-
ton of age. Many large corpora
tons have established an age
limit, and refuse to take men over
IS years of age as new employees.
Probably o5 per cent of bald
headed people may regain good
head Of healthy hair if they will
follow our acvice and accept our
offer. We have Il remedy that
we positively guarantee to grow
hair on any head, unless the roots
of the eair are entirely dead,
their follicles closed, and the
scalp has become glazed and
shiny. We want people to try
this remedy at our risk, with the
distinct understanding that unless
1t does exactly what we claim it
will, and gives satisfaction in
! every respect, W.. shall make no
charge for the remedy used dur
ing the trial.
We know exactly what we are
talking about, and with this offer
back of our statements no one
should scotf, doubt our word, or
hesitate 10 put our remedy to an
actual test.
We want every one in Taze-
well who is suffering from any
scalp or hair trouble, dandrun,
falling hair, or badness to try
! our ReXall "93" Hair Tonic. We
want them to use it regularly
say until three bottles have been
used-and if it does not eradicate
dandruff, cleans and +. fresh the
scalp, tighten the heir in its roofs
and grow new hair, we will re-
turn every cent paid us for the
remedy for the mere asking.
There is no formality expected i.
and we exact no obligation from
the us.r whatever.
We are establishe d right here
in Tazewell, and make this offer
with full understanding that our
business success entirely depends
upon the sort of treatment we ac-
cord our customers, and we
