LOWER TAX RATE ON
BRISTOL WHISKEY

BRISTOL. VA. April 1.-The city
council Of Virginia Bristol. has the
privilege license schedule for another
year. Only O few changes were made.
The most interesting feature Is found
In the fact that the council made
o. reduction Of 10 per cent. in the tax
rate. Although much concern was felt
among the whiskey men, and there
was desire for IL reduction in the
present high tax, no cnange was made,
and each saloon thar continues in
business for another year will pay the
same rate as last year. and will be
required to pay $500 on the first day
OF May. $4,000 Of this amount going
to the city.

SUGGESTS
A POOR FARM
FOR the STATE

A state poor farm which will care
for all Of the poor of the state, is the
plan of Governor West, and with the
view of determining the advisibllity
of asking the legislature to pass a
measure along that line, he has
written the county judges through
the state for their views, and to OBJ
tain data relative to the expense Of
he farms in the counties.
The present system is an expen-
siye one to the county. In addi-
ton, despite the expense, the pa
tients do not receive the care and at
tentlon they should. II one farm
was located in some portion OF the
state, and It made large enough to
care for all then II Is believed that
not only the expense could be re-
duced, but that better accomoda-
tions would be afforded the patients.
Several letters have already been
received by the governor from coun-
ty judges and they favor the plan.

tered seemingly beyond human pow
er to repair, this priest analyses the
situation and by the power Of his
faith brings both the people, whom
he loves, back to happiness. Mingled
with the darker colors of human
tragedy is a vein of natural comedy
evolved from the events which occur
during the action. In the fourth act,
during the scene in the chapel Of the
church, which has been presented to
Fr Kelly by his former pupil, Bruce
Wilton, THE Rosary" is sung. The

The ROSARY
The FINEST or
MODERN PLAYS

How many homes in this city are
gradually being wrecked through the
husband not appreciating the true
honest and sincere love of a good
wife? How many husbands in this
city are imbued with the spirit Or
atheism while ther wives women Of
serious conviction regarding faith in
the things Of life unseen, sacrifice
the unequalled love of true honest
and sincere creatures? These are
two Of the questions that are forci-
bly, brought to the attention of all
who witness a performance of "The
Rosary which is coming to the
Grand Opera House Saturday, Feb
ruary 3, matinee and evening The
play treats a great and powerful sub
Ject graphically and in such a way
as to grip the attention every min
ute. The Rosary" is built upon a
thoroughly modern theme, sho wing
the influence of thought upon the
lives and well being of the men and
women of the present day. Theories
have sprung from this theme that
have engaged the serious attention
OF the foremost psychologists, but
its portrayal upon the stage has been
neglected previous to Edward E.
Roses conception of the necessity Of
such a play for the American public.
"The Rosary" deals with the lives
and fortunes of a little group Of peo-
pie living in the beautiful West
Chester country near New York City.
The husband is disbeliever in all
religion; his wife, a woman Of SER
ious conviction regarding faith in the
things of life unseen. Strong in his
belief, and thoroughly human, a
priest moves through the subtle story

CONCRETE
PAVING is
BREAKING

Citizens Of East State street are
still wondering whether there will be
any official investigation Of the rot
ten places in the concrete work on
that street So far no move has been
made in the city council to probe into
the contract. The east end Of the
street seems to be all right, but the
west end is breaking badly. There was
closer scrutiny of the work on the east
end by the property owners, 1t seems.
Twenty-fourth street, leading north
at right angles from East State street,
is fine street. It is also concrete,
and, like North Winter and and Four
teenth streets, is fine specimen Of
concrete work. Concrete streets, where
properly supervised and not open to
traffic too soon, will give satisfaction,
Property Owners Protested.
When 1t was known that the street
committee would have a man to super
wise the construction Of East State
street the property owners met and
protested at such sub-supervision and
took the position that, as they were to
pay for the street, they had a right to
name the man to see that the work
was done right They selected ]. p.
Veatoh, well-known cement worker,
and asked that he be appointed. But
they were overruled on the ground of
expense, as It was stated that the city
could get a good inspector for three
dollars day, and Mr.. veatch would
not work for less than five dollars
day, Then the property owners Of
fered to make up the difference, and
pay the extra two dollars per day. But
they were overruled on that, and 1t is
contended the contractor did not want
as thorough a cement man as veateh
on the job.
