Her reason for wearing her hair
in that fashion was rather amusing.
The. native boys would steal her hair

One of her experiences was being

Sect Of d stirring address delivered By
lev. R. Elmer Smith from the pulpit
CT the First Methodist EpisropaI
Church last evening. Taking as his
text why did Moses then command
to give writing of enforcement" Mr..
Smith brought out facts in which he
favored justifiable divorces, and
branding unhappy marriages as mnia-
ture bells on earth.
Il have just as much respect for one
jlstitiably and lawfully divorced as |
have for one lawfully married" said
Mir. Smith in the course of his sermon.
" holesale divorce is another term for

men should stop making the fatal mis-
take of marrying men for the puI po> G
Of reforming them.
"Unhappily married." The two
words constitute a real. a dark. a ter

st. Stair For Collector.

AS we understand the Bristol
Herald-Courier, nobody objects
to Petyon st. Clair for collector
of internal revenue. The one
suggested ground of opposition
to him is that possibly he may
violate his promise to maintain
the office at Abingdon and then
possibly the legislature may
take Giles county, where he
lives. out of the Ninth district
and possibly he may go too and
thus the Office be lost to the dis
trict. Our Bristol contemporary
seems to have the idea that the
point is to keep the physical
person of the collector in the
district. The real purpose is to
have the Office and its patronage
used for the advantage of the
Democratic party in that dis
trict by somebody who can be
relied on to do it and who knows

NO SPEEDER NOW.

Speaking of automobiles
There are few complaints or
criticisms heard lately as to fast
and reckless driving. The coun-
ty horses are becoming accus
toned to the machines, and
drivers are more considerable
and careful. There are still one
or two, perhaps more, drivers
who forget to givewarning or to
slow up in rounding short
corners. There is no pleasure in
reckless, rapid driving anyway.
Besides, rapid, careless driving
increases greatly the wear and
tear of the machine. Under
ordinary circumstances twelve
miles an hour is both safe and
pleasant rate of speed.

JOHN GARLAND POLLARD.

Hon. John Garland Pollard,
the widely known lawyer and
author, of Richmond, has an
nounced his candidacy for the
Attorney Generalship, now held
by Judge S. w. Williams, of
Wytheville. The Times-Dispatch
urges his nomination in most
enthusiastic amer, and
language which borders on
gushing" just a little. Says
The Times-Dispatch: His
courageous, entrance into a field
already occupied by three oppo-
nents of no mean strength, is to
those whose steadfast hope is
for greater and nobler Vir-
ginia the most enheartening
political event of generation.
~ The Times-Dispatch
recommends him to the electorate
as by far the best qualified
candidate +, and trusts that
he may be elected" Says this
usually sober minded and staid
contemporary further: III ere is
a man so moved by conviction,
so confident in the hope of re-
form, so certain of the just de-
mands of the people, so fired by
the noblest patriotism, so filled
with the spirit of that sacrifice,
with which there is no true SER
vice, he has accepted the chal-
lenge of the hour, ETC." There
is much more Of -ttht. is5s, sort of
hearty -e9.E<dt5irisation of Mr.. Pol
lards's candidacy.
We do not know what the peo-
pie Of the Ninth district will say
about it, but as we get the
Governorship there will be little
left to grumble about should the
district lose the Attorney
Generalship Judge Williams has
upon the whole, made gooC
officer, so those say who SHOULD
know. But that there is need of
the very strongest and best
qualified councillors on the Boart
Of Education, has long been
recognized. Virginia is behind
on the school question-far be
hind due, it is said to the fac
that the politicians have had too
much to do with the system
using it as a political asset, anC
here the storm centers once
every four years, and, as in
timated by The Times-Dispatch
will likely be an important ques
ton this year.

That Postal Surplus.

When two of his own chief
assistants join in the report that
Postmaster General Hitc hcock' S
boosted surplus of $2l9,O0O in
1911 was in reality a deficit of
over $750,000, we have, IS it
were, the testimony of accom-
pIices added to the evidence of
facts and figures
No uniform or continuing sys-
TEN of fiscal accounting obtains

ton. 1t is all the sport of success
sive Administrations, which are
in turn quite too often given to
the sport of politics in keeping
the books. No trick is more
familiar than that of holding up
payments belonging to the last
fiscal year that a better surplus
showing than is warranted may
appear. Precisely the same trick
was used by Mr.. Hitchcock to
create fictitious postal surplus
whose costs in neglected service
and delayed payments he was
enabled by the elections last
year to load over upon a Demo
cratic Administration to its
possible discredit.
Such a possible consequence
has now been defeated. But
there remains to be achieved an
actual instead of a fictitious
reduction of .fh .c postal service

cannot be done by false econ
omies or by manipulation of
accounts. 1t cannot be done by
subjecting the service primarily
to the holiday interests of EN-.
ployees. 1t cannot be done by
making the service as harassing
and inconvenient to the public
as possible. 1t cannot be done
by devoting the chief energies
of the department to driving
away instead of bringing il
business.
Mr.. Hitchcock's purpose was
worthy but his methods were al
wrong, and a fiscal fiction wa.
the natural result. The IN. Y,

how to do it.

how to do it.
Sitting the question down.
nobody has fault to find with
st. Clair. The dissatisfaction is
with the district Democratic
executive committee because it
endorsed st. Clair. The man is
to be punished for what the
committee did, regardless of his
qualifications and his value to
the party. This proposition does
not seem to be completely just
or remarkably sensible.
If our information is correct,
number of leading citizens of
the district called together a
number of other leading citizens
at Bristol some time ago in an
effort to agree on a choice for
collector. The attendance was
thin, the debate was long and
on decision was reached. We
are informed, further, that the
1 names of several of the APP
plicants beside Mr.. st. Clair
were submitted to the executive
committee and that many ballots
were taken before the final re-
suit. To ordinary observation it
appears that the chosen official
representatives of the Demo
cratic party are the tittest
possible persons to select a man
for position in which there will
be opportunity for party service.
If they are not the proper judges
we do not know who are.
AS to the suggestion that we
name those who favor st. Clair
we might begin with the mem
bers of the district executive
committee and most of the
Democratic county chairmen and
include the great majority OF
the active Democratic workers
Of the district. If all the object,

OUR TICKET.

The Clinch Valley News is not
prepared to put up it's ticket in
full this week, but will state
now in advance, that there is no
good reason in sight why two of
these candidates should be turn
ed down, viz: Hon. j. Taylor
Ellyson, Lieutenant Governor,
and Hon. Geo. w. Koiner,
commissioners of Agriculture. We
stand by Mr.. Koiner for the
reason that so far as we can see
he has made good. Many por-
tons of this State never knew
that we had such department
until he took charge. That Mr..
Brown would make a better
officer is a question no living,
man can decide.
AS to Mr.. Ellyson, as is we'll
known the Clinch Valley News
has been for him for Governor
against the field every time
until this year, when our own
Henry is a candidate, and of
course we are for him for
Governor, and Mr.. Ellyson for
Lieutenant Governor, at all
hazards and under any and all
circumstances, and we believe
the country and district is with
us excepting a small coterie of
hypercritics.

MODERN TRAVELLING.

The automobile is gradually
but surely coming into general
use all over the country. And as
new roads are built the use OF
autos will multiply. Not MANY
years will elapse before the
farmers in the country will
utilize the easy, swift running
machine, for transportation. not
only of their families to town
and church, but their produce.
etc., to market, as we'll. AL
ready, in many counties in all
the States, the slow, lumberirq
wagon and shackled old buggy
has been supplanted, and a
farmer living a distance from
town now cranks up, and is in
town almost before he could
hitch up.
The automobile, combined
with the telephone, is a great
boon to those who need phvsi.
clan or an emergency prescrip-
ton filled. The time will cone
speedily when physicians will

drive machines, and perhaps
drug stores, too, will find il

with entirely, particularly in a
mountainous section, but in
level countries, not only trans
portation but the breaking of
land and cultivation of crops
etc., will be done by engines

trucks.
The note of warning should
be sounded. The probability is
that many of the people will be
induced to buy machines for
pleasure who'are unable to do
so. 1t is said that many pc, pie

not only unwise but foolish.

taken for granted in this sec

State officer, elected by the peo-
pie or appointed by the Governor

therefore he is "a reactionary".
This is what is meant, practical

gressive and reactionary Demo-

perhaps puerile. But, honestly
we would be glad to have point

Drivers Rule.

Following are the drivers
rules Of the Boston Work Horse
Parade Associations:
!. Start at walk and let
your horse work very easily for
the first half hour.
2. A heavy draft horse should
never be driven faster than a
walk, with or without a load.
3. Look to your harness.
Avoid these faults especially:
Bride too long or too short.
Flinders pressing on the eyes
or tapping.
Throat latch too tight.
Collar too tight or too loose.
Traces too long.
Breeching too low down or too
loose.
a. Drive your horse all the
time. Feel his mouth gently.
Never jerk the reins.
5. Take the horse out of the
shafts as much as possible; and
If You drive pair of four, I'M
fasten the outside traces while
the horses are standing; they
will rest better that way.
6. Teach your horses to go
into the collar gradually. When
a load is to be started, speak to
the horses and take a firm hold
on the reins so that they will
arch their necks, keep their legs
under them and step on their
toes.
7. Water your horse as often
as possible. Water in moderate
quantities will not hurt him, so
long as he keeps moving.
8. Blanket your horse care
fully when he stands, especially
if he is at all hot. Repeated
slight chills stiffen and age a
horse before his time.
8. Bring your horse in cool
and breathing easily. If he
comes in hot he will sweat in
the stable, and the sudden stop
ping of hard work is bad for his
feet.
10. In hot weather or in draw
ing heavy loads, watch your
horses breathing. If he breathes
hard, or short and quick, it is
time to stop.
IL. Remember that the horse
is the most nervous of all
animals, and that little things
annoy and irritate him. Remem-
bre that he will be contented or
miserable accordingly as you
treat him. Our Dumb Animals.
