less are prone to accept it with
out question, whether it be q
social custom, style of dress. a
dance or drink. The sane and
safe course to persue is, before
adopting an innovation, first to
make careful examination of
it so as to come to rational
conclusion. as to whether the
thing proposed is in harmony
with ones sense of propriety and
decency; what its effect, if any.
on character on reputation
whether it be elevating it its
tendency or the reverse.
The following paragraph taken
from the Literary Digest ought
to enlighten those who are in
love with the new dances:
Far from being new these
dances are a reversion to the
grossest practices of savage
man. They are based on the
primitive motive of the orgies
enjoyed by the aboriginal
inhabitants of every uncivilized
land. Their movements and
steps have been described with
exactitude by explorers and
missionaries to those peoples we
are accustomed to regard as in
ferior. The eliminating ey-
travagances are identical with
the ends sought by the bcnight-
ed heather, save only that the
heather is redeemed by a frank
ress of terminology and conduct
that has not been attained here.
Preserved through all the
ages by the habitucs of low re-
sorts, by strumpets and their
patrons, these dances have never
lost their original reason for
existence on been deprived of
their appeal to the profigate
and debased. Today, whether
practiced in the lowest brothel
or in surroundings more expen-
slve they retain without change
their meaning and are unmodi-
fled in their effect. That for q
persons Of respectable
antecedents have iniudiciusly
introduction in places
where decorum guards chastity
has not changed their nature
nor obscured their menace.
The above is we'll worth the
thoughtful consideration of our
Joung people. The browning

The hot wave was dissipated
here Monday afternoon by rain
which fell for more than an
hour, greatly relieving the
situation, which had been the
hottest recorded in Tazewell.
The nights were not even cool.
AS a rule the hottest days here
are followed by cool, pleasant
nights, but not so this time. If

SIOrcu Ill lHelT wagon, water
and provisions for themselves
and their beast, sufficient, if
economically used, to last them
across the desert which would
require several weeks to tray
erse. There was no water or
food on the road side, and as
there were no people living in
that section of country, their
only dependence to ward off
starvation was the none too large
supply they carried with them,
in their covered wagon. Each
day the mother would carefully
prepare the meals of bread, and
bacon and such other food as
she had, careful to give each
hungry child enough, so that it
would not be forced to bed with
a gnawing appetite. The father
of the family spread before his
beast just enough oats and PROV
ender as would keep the animal
in good strength to draw his
load, but careful that not a
straw or grain was wasted.
While they all had a sufficiency
for their journey there was
nothing to waste, and if they
did waste anything they must
suffer. and reach the end of
their journey emanciated and
weak. And so, they journeyed
on, happy and contented in
anticipation of soon reaching
the end of their journey.
But behold, on a certain day,
when they were yet many days
from their destination, and
as they were preparing to camp
for the night, there rode into the
camp from the desert beyond,
four men. who seemed very hun
CRY and tired with their long
journey.
They had been without food
and their beasts without water
for time and they were almost
exhausted. Naturally, they ex-
pected the traveller to share his
food and water with them, and
being a kind-hearted man, and
also somewhat afraid to refuse
these men of the desert, he in
vited them to spend the night
with him, and divided what he
had prepared for his wife and
children, with them. But, after
they had gone he discovered
that his remaining supply of
provisions was quite scant, and
when he did finally reach his
destination the children were
hungry and lean. He had pro.
vided plenty for himself and
family, but no more than they
could use. Think you that the
giving of a part of what he had
injured him and his children
Just so exactly with your corn.
There is plant food sufficient,
and moisture to make great big,
fine corn if it is used, but il
weeds and grass are permitted
to eat and drink of the same, il
will lessen the corn's supply.
Every morsel of food and dro,
of water used by the grass ant
weeds helps to diminish the
quantity and quality of the corn
at the end of the harvest.

FARES FOR FAILURE TO REACH

Especial to The Richmond Vtrginian)
CHAPEL HILL, N. c.. Dec. 2.--lnitial
steps were taken today by Attorney
j. r. McLendon graduate manager OF
athletics at the university, to collect
a claim against the Southern railway
for the amount OF the railroad fare for
every student who went on the South
ern excursion train to Richmond for
the Virginia Carolina game last Thurs
day because OF the railroads failure
to get the train to Richmond in time
for the students to see the game
II the Southern refuses to pay tho
claim Mr.. McLendon will probably
bring suit for the SO excursion fare
in a test case. The excursion train
was scheduled to leave Chapel Hin AT
1901 o'clock and arrive at Richmond
about 8 o'clock in the morning OF
Thanksgiving day. The train with
seven or eight coaches containing about
$50 students left the "Hill" shortly
after schedule time. but freight
wreck some eight miles north of JEFF
frey's, Va, held the train for about
eight hours and 1t did not arrive in
Richmond until 3:45 and by the time
the students got to the ball park the
second half OF the game was start
ing.
1t Is thought that the excursion train
could have been carried around by
Danville after 1t was learned that there
had been a wreck ahead In time for
the students TO reach Richmond In
time for the game. Many of the stu
dents say that the locomotive used
was very inferior one and that bet
ter time could have been made had the
engine been better The average time
made from the time the train left
Chapel Hill until 1t arrived at Rich
mond was less than ten miles an hour,
