the Legislature, commends itself
to every thoughtful, patriotic
man everywhere. With Mr..
Chapman in the Legislature we
would have a real representative,
one who knows the needs, and
who would zealously guard the
interests of these two great
counties. And, as Judge Graham
states, there are questions now
pending. which must come be-
fore the next Legislature, of
grave moment, and strong, I'M
biased, sensible men will be
needed in the next General AS
sembly. Mr.. Chapman is emf
men thy qualified in every way to
fill the bill. He knows Southwest
Virginia's needs, not now nor
heretofore partisan in politics
he could be depended upon to see
to it that we got what is coming
to us. He is the man for the
place, and it is devoutly hoped
that he may consent to become
a candidate. Should he so decide
his election is certain.

DIDN'T SAY HE WOULDN'T
ACCEPT 1T.

M. j. w. Chapman was seen
by a representative of this paper
and asked if he would make a
statement in regard to the ar
ticle of Judge Graham, calling
him out as u representative of
this legislative district in the
next general assembly of Vir-
ginia. He said in substance, that
he appreciated most highly the
honor which the cali carried
with it, and expressed his thanks
to Judge Graham and all his
friends, but that his business
affairs were in such shape that
he did not see how it will be pos
sibe to give any of his time out
side. The recent death of his
p artner, Mr.. A. p. Gillespie, has
necessitated much work upon
him now in connection with the
estate. He agreed, readily, that
this next legislature Of all 9TH
ers in recent years, will be of
great moment to the State gen
orally, and to Tazewell and
Buchanan in particular. Mr..
Chapman did not say positively
that he would turn down a
hearty, unanimous call of his
people.
1t is therefore suggested that
the county committee should be
called together at once and de-
cislve action taken, and also
communication be had at once
with the people of Buchanan
county on the subject. Mr..
Chapman, nor any other busy
mean whom the people would
care to vote for, has the time
or inclination to enter into a
scramble or political fight, and
if this be imposed upon him az
a necessity there is little hope of
his acceptance. But a united.
unanimous call made upon him
with the assurance OF hearty
support and az far as possible,
the guarantee OF election, would
appeal to his sense of duty and
we believe influence his decision.
The people of Tazewell, irrespec-
tive OF party utilization, would
give him Il rousing vote. Let
the county committees of these
two counties get busy. Let the
new county committee inaugu-
rate its life and work by bring
ing out J.W. Chapman and elect
ing him to the legislature. If
this can be done it will be "a
feather in its cap"

Paint Put-On

Think of paint put-on and not
by the gallon.
A gallon of paint in the can is
OF no account to anybody. Put
in on. Now reckon its cost and
value. The secret is: one paint
goes twice as far as another. A
good one goes twice as far as
bad one. You have a job, say an
average job. It'll take 10 gallons
Devoe and IL or Is or 18 or 20
of middling poor very-poor and
trash. You know painters wages
in your town. Put the price of a
gallon of paint and the painters
day wage together. You can,
we can't. Devoe costs less than
any inferior paint; there are
hundreds of them. One paint is
as good as another, so long as it
lasts good; one lasts months and
another years, and the one that
goes furthest lasts longest.

INCREASE OF CRIME

Is the world growing better?
Is crime on the increase? A
friend remarked to me the other
day, in a somewhat pessimistic
tone, that, judging from news
paper reports crime is on the
increase in this country. The
papers are daily filled almost
with accounts of crimes most
horrible. from all sections of
the country, and there is tur-
MOL, wars revolutions, defal-
cations, as never known before.
And too, it was noted, the COM
missin of crime these days, is
not confined to what we have
known heretofore as 1.-THE Crimi-
nal classes"-the ignorant and
lower stratas of s ociety, but to
the educated and wealthy, and
to parties in high places. And
so he went on, in this same tone,
citing a number of recent, startl-
ing instances confirmatory of his
opinoin that crime is on the in
crease, and that the world gen
orally is going to the bow-wos.
He was reminded in refutation,
that there has always been crime
and wrong doings in this world
ever since Abel and Gaines day,
the difference being that every
crime committed to day is known
Immediately all over the country,
whereas. heretofore, owing to
the small number of newspapers,
telegraphic and other means of
communication as exists today,
the great majority of crimes
were never heard of outside the
immediate communities in which
they were committed. News
papers are almost numberless.
Telephones, telegraphic and
other means of communication
are at hand, and premium is
placed upon dissemination of
news of all kinds. There is no
good reason to think that the
world is not getting better all
the time, appearance to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. 1t is not
true, however, that Ignorance is
the parent of vice." as a general
proposition. 1t was once
thought to be 50. In these latter
days the criminal classes (if
there is a criminal class
are as often found among the
educated as among the ignorant,
among the high as well as the
low. And this too, has always
been true as now. The exploitation
of the commission of crimes. in
the newspapers is discouragine
to phllanthropists and benevol-
ent societies if the above stated
facts of modern methods of pub
icity is not taken into account.

Kentucky and Lightning.

Catlettsburg, Ky. August Is.
Editor the News:-I see a
great deal Of writing about the
lightning in the News on what
kind of trees are struck the
most. | have been talking to the
old men of this country-they
say white oak and red oak. |
can see a white oak from my
house that has been struck three
times. | spent a few days at
Russell, in Greenbrier county,
KY, and a friend showed me a
wholesale house built of cement
blocks, struck by lightning. 1t
had high front built to it.
When | lived in Thompson Val
ley, where Lee Meredith lives, |
knew lightning to strike a dead
chestnut that forked 20 feet
above the ground three times
tearing off one prong the first
time: second time the other, and
third time tore the stub clear
down and split it all to pieces.
| could show you on that place
ten or twelve chestnut trees
struck by lightning, also a doub-
lie chestnut on James Harris
place. 1t struck nine chestnut
stumps on Howerys place, struck
a fence line between Howery
and John Saunders that was
built of chestnut rails. / stopped
once under green chestnut out
OF shower of rain; the next
day that tree was struck. | have
known it to strike locust, apples,
and once a sweet cherry tree.
Remember the time 1T struck
a small walnut near John Wit
tens the time it knocked Joe
Cregar's horse to it's knees. 1t
struck Wiley Walks house and
Mrs. Carrie Buchanan's barn.
Wiley said it was the money
they had that drew the light

place, set fire to it and burnt i t
up.

THEY NEED A MOTHER.

. There are eight bright looking
young children at the county
farm, ranging in age from four
teen years down. Five of these
are in the family of an inmate
named Lambert. Two-a boy
about 8 and a girl about 10, were
brought to the farm last Satur
day by a man nam ed Carter
from somewhere on Dry Fork.
who said that their parents,
named Mcclure, had deserted
them. Father and mother had
separated. The mother left TAX
ing a younger child, and told
these two to remain at home
said Carter. When, after the
lapse of a week, she did not re-
turn, the children were brought
to Mr.. McGraw, who is taking
care of them. The point is. that
something should be done for
these children. The aims house
IS no place for them. Mrs. Nc
Graw is a kind, wise mother
and will do all she can for them
of course, but she has a lare @
family of little fellows of her
own demanding her time and
attention. and besides, it is not
her business to look after pauper
children.
The aims house was establish
ed and is supported for the pur-
pose of caring for unfortunate
men and women who are incapa-
BILE physically to care for them
selves. There is no suitable ar
engagements to care for children.
1t is an injustice all around par
tilcularly to the children, to turn
them into an almshouse. There
should be some way to get hold
OF the parents OF children who
desert them and compel them to
support their little ones. Some
steps should be taken at once to
save these pauper children.

QUESTION OF DEEP
FLOWING DISCUSSED
Some Very Striking Increases in
Production Have Been Sc
cured by Method.

lBy Z. ]. KINNEY. Kentucky Expert
ment Station.)
During the last few years some very
striking increases in production have
been secured by blowing very deep
ly. On the strength of this number
Of authorities are advocating deep
blowing for the south. They advise
from eight to as much as sixteen
inches deep. 1t seems somewhat dan
gerous to the orthodox man to give
such general advice as this until we
have more experimental data to con-
firm its value. 1t is undoubtedly true
that much deeper blowing than is
now practiced in most sections of the
south is desirable.
No cultivated crop can make it's
best growth in a seed bed less than
seven inches deep Where soils are
SO thin that blowing to this depth
will bring up large quantity of raw
subsoil the depth should be attained
by blowing a little deeper each time
instead of taking the full depth all at
once. In this way the subsoil will
have a chance to become weathered
and incorporated with the surface
soil
Some advocates of deep blowing
propose to go to the desired depth all
1t once. We are not prepared to say
whether they are right or wrong.
However, the safest plan is to try it
on small scale at first. Deep plow-
ing is expensive and must show de-
cided benefits if it is to be profita-
BILE. Let several join and purchase
pillow for deep tilling and give 1t a
good trial under fair conditions. This
will be safe and not expensive. 1t is
worth trying. and the experience will
be of value to other farmers
1t would be good thing if farm
ers trying new methods would make
a practice o; reporting results
whether profitable or not. One dith-
Guilty in deciding the merits of any
practice is that the successful ones re-
port. while those who fail do not.
