Will Kill The Cooks
Clinch Valley News:

Cllnch Valley News:
Is it right that the favored
few, who happen to live up
among the would-be aristocrats.
should be allowed to use the
small stream along street car
line for a sewerage, thereby,
scattering the typhoid that is
likely to be? 1t may be we'll
enough to kill out the white peo-
pie that live along the ditch, but
what about the colored people
that you have to have to do your
cooking. If you kill those faith
full cooks somebody's wife or
daughter will have to get up
sooner to get breakfast, and
then the biscuits might not be
SO good.
The ditch should be tiled and
all compelled to use it, that live
near the stream. The ditch
should be flushed one a month
this would give better water
from the reservoir. The water
in ditch is already so filthy that
the cattle will not drink it.
One Along The Line.

Who Got The Clutches?

The editor has a pair of
cructhes out somewhere in this
town, and the party who has
them will please return them at
once. Last week the EDITORS
wife fell and came near break
ing herself all up and needed
crutches. We have another pair
but they are tall ones, and when
she tried to use them they
raised her clear off the floor, and
she had to be lifted up on them
an down off, besides they held
herr clear of the floor and kept
her vibrating like pendulum.
These are the same crutches
that Francis had for year or
two, and which he spliced with
two pieces of a sapling by bor-
ing and a hole and sticking the
end of the crutches in. They
are too tall for the average lady
unless she can walk on stills.
So, please bring the low cructhes
in at once, We hope never to
need them again but may need
them at any old time, day or
night, and don't be follin' about
it.

A Dangerous Practice

Parents whose children are
compelled to use the street car
in going and returning from
school are requested to read this
notice, and heed its suggestions.
The little boys, and some of the
larger ones, persist in riding on
the platform of the cars, and
are in danger of being crippled.
They get on and off while the
car is moving, scuffle with each
other, push and crowd, and be-
sides the danger of being hurt
they hinder passengers getting
on and off, and increase the
work of the conductor. If one of
the children should get hurt
there would be trouble, and the
car people blamed, and parents
are requested, in the interest of
their children to cooperate with
the car men in their efforts to
take care of the children. Don't
think other peoples children are
the only ones in danger. 1t may
be yours.

DIR. w. l. Hall Dead

DIR. w. |. Hall, the well
known physician of North Taze-
well, died last Monday at a
sanitarium near Columbus, Ohio,
where he had been under treat
ment several weeks. The re-
mains reached North Tazewell
ON yesterday morning, and the
funeral and burial took place
from his late home at II o'clock.
He was about forty-four years
old.
Besides q widow, he leaves
two young children. His father,
I. X. Hall; one sister, Mrs.
Smith. of Bluefield and a brother,
DR.. Connor Hall. of Welch, sur
vive.
Deceased was brilliant man
and a fine physician, and but
for the unfortunate condition of
his health would have no doubt
risen to eminence in his profess
sion. He was popular with his
patients, and was a successful
practitioner. 1t is said that his
record as a medical student was
extraordinarily brilliant, and
that his ambitious desire and
determination to complete his
course in shorter time than
was allotted led him to resort to
means which in the end proved
his undoing, and cut off his
career at an age when he should
and otherwise would have been
a great physician. His wife,
who was a daughter of the late
Captain G.. A. Fudge, and his
entire family, have the deepest
sympathy of the entire comunm-
ity.

Almost an Accident

That Joseph Rosenbaum, of
Greever's store is not today
playing a harp around the throne
is not the fault of a horse he
was driving last Sunday after
noon. The accident occurred
near town, when a livery horse
became scared because some of
the harness didn't work Just
right, and undertook to take
wings and fly. 10. also found
himself on terra frma, all mixed
up in the harness, but succeeded
in righting himself, by which
time the horse had shed his
harness and was hitting the grit
towards the stables. Only a few
scratches.

States Rights, That's All
Editorial. J


We haven't had the amount of
space on the on the California
muddle, to which we feel we
were entitled. So, we make the
following final deliverance and
settle the whole matter:
1t is this: 1t is question, as
Capt. Tynes says, of States
rights against a Republican
treaty. The treaty with Japan
was made by a party canstitu-
tionally and defiantly opposed to
states rights. That's one fact.
Another is, it is question
of the Interpretation of the
doctrine set forth in the Bill
of Rights. People differ widely
as to this Interpretation, as
they do in the Interpretation of
scripture, and this means, as
Mr.. Bryan says, the question
after being referred to the
sovereign state of California,
must finally be referred to the
highest court of Interpretation,
the Supreme Court of the United
States. We make no claim that
the above settles the dicffiult
question further than to indicate
the ways and means of final
solution.
Clinch Valley news. [volume] (Jeffersonville, Va.) 18??-2019, 1913-05-09
the question serious thought,
but it is important.

the question serious thought,
but it is important.
One object is, to kill weeds
and grass, of course. And this
as about as far as we get. While
this is one main object it is by
no means the only one. The real
object is to cultivate the land,
not the corn. Flowing won't
make corn grow. No man can
make" corn. Rain, sunshine
and plant food alone makes corn.
But plowing helps the corn by
putting the dirt, which holds
the plant food, in shape and
condition to be taken up by the
young and growing plant. Stir
ring and pulverizing the soil
"fining" it, letting in and down
sunlight and air warming
and aerating" the ground, en-
abling it to retain and distribute
moisture so as to make it avail
able. Weeds and grass take up
food and absorb moisture from
the land which the corn plant
needs and this is the reason
weeds and grass should be de-
stroyed.
So, this all means, that the
land and not the corn, should be
cultivated. "Let the corn alone
work the land," is a good
motto. This means the use of
the right kind of a plow in the
hands of the right kind of a
plowman. To this rule the re is
no exception.
