Mr.. Allison Replies.
Cedar Bluff, Va. Feb. 1

Cedar Bluff, Va, Feb. 10th.
Editor Clinch Valley News
| notice an article in your
paper of last week, which re-
fleets seriously on the work done
in Mcclure Valley, on the new
road, and which is misleading
in several particulars. In the
first place Mr.. Payne failed to
tell you the correct number of
people who live in Mcclure Hol-
low, as Mr.. Payne called it, and
| will name them for his benefit
First, Mrs. Sallie Bandy, widow
of the lamented Sheriff James
Bandy, Elder James Shelton.
Homer Allison, S. f. Allison, J.
M. Alley, Joe Beavers and Mrs.
Polly Lewis. He said in his
piece, that we paid, all of us.
81. 10 road taxes, but the whole
truth is we pay $3.50 road tax.
| am pleased to say to my friend
that the records are open and
can be examined at any time.
He also tells us, that | made
this three-fourths mile of new
road with my son, and a boy |
was raising. Now, the facts are
| am not raising a boy but nv
son, Homer, who is % years of
age and weighs 1876 lbs, is fine
hand on any work. To correct
this statement | will give the
names of the men l employed,
for Mr.. Payne's special benefit:
p. ii. Whit, j. M. Alley, Joe
Beavers, George H. Hartman,
Harve Asbury, VIM. Harrison,
Harle Armes, Vess Lowe, Hugh
Brown, Bob Beavers, Clarence
Whit, Bob Whit, John Graves.
c. Hunt, M. Altizer, Robert
Whit, Jr. and Homer Allison.
Now, Mr.. Payne being a law
yer aught not to have much
trouble in finding the order for
this Mcclure Hollow road. If he
will examine the records in the
years 1881 or 1882 he will find
the order for this road, which
was more or less in the water
way of this valley, and after the
flood of July 18th, 1912, it was
filled with rocks, stumps and
fences until there was no road
left.
This beautiful valley has an
r. F. d. Route and there was a
report that our mail would be
stopped if the road was not re-
paired, so we visited our Super
visor and Road Commissioner
and secured funds to repair the
old road and to make three
fourths of a mile of new road
for which we are thankful; and
for further information Brother
Payne can come again. So after
all my friends in Taze-
well, and Tazewell CO., adieu.
for present, at least, | will close.
Respectfully
S. f. ALLISON.

OF the cattle of the country so
that the supply of beef will meet
the demands of an increasing
population. The vealing of young
calves is the most short-sighted
policy of which our American
farmers are guilty today. The
result of this practice on our
part is that the country is almost
destitute of young feeders with
which to meet our future beef
supply.
DESTROYING THE SEED.
This practice is equivalent to
the destruction of our American
crop seed. In other words, it is
destroying the seed that should |

The scientific farmer" used
to elicit the jeers of his neigh
bors and was the subject of the
funny Photographer everywhere.
But this condition has changed
and the man who applies
scientific principles to farming
is the man who is out stripping
all other tillers of the soil. The
result is that all farmers every
where are eager to listen to the
man scientifically trained in the
cultivation fo the soil. The fur
ther result is that the successful
farmer who is not applying
many scientific ideas is the rare
exception. -IndeXAppeal.

"A WnlstIlnB woman anu GROWING
Hen
Never Come to Any Good En-"
Using the above old couplet as
a text the Roanoke Times has
an interesting editorial of about
a column in its last Sundays is
sue, supposedly offered as good
Sunday readin' The editor
grows eloquent, sentimental,
romantic, and even reminiscent,
to the extent of bringing in the
Wesleyan preachers of olden
times, and cold George Tillman,
a gentleman and deep philos-
opher," ETC., in a labored effort
to Justify the "whistling and
singing woman. Everybody
will heartily agree with the
genius of the Roanoke Times as
to the singing woman. Singing
is one of her strongest cards,
likewise the hens. But when it
is endeavored to Justify a crow
ing hen and a whistling woman,
we draw the line. What bust
nees has a hen got with growing
anyway? That's the ROSTERS
business. We recall wildly the
fate of the growing hen, back
home. She was regarded as an
anomaly-some said, an evil
omen. Whenever she took to
strutting around and growing
like rooster she was a marked
hen. Her fate was sealed. Right
then and there her usefulness as
a hen ended. No more eggs
from that hen. No more broods.
She went into the baking pan
for next Sunday when the
preacher made his monthly
visit, or we had a quilting. 1t is
unfortunate for the whistling
girl that she should be put in
such company. A growing hen!
Did you ever hear a hen try to
crow? Did you ever see one
tramp on her wing, Tor try to-,
strut around, throw back her
head and try to initiate the lord
ly call of the rooster? If so, you
recall what a mess she made of
it. 1t was travesty. The rooster
looked at her with disgust. The
other hens turned away from
this seemingly false pretender,
and the AK and the scalding pot
was her doom. She was ont of
her place. She was assuming
prerogatives belonging by right
to the other sex. AS singer
she was a success. Her voice
seemed tuned exactly right for
song. There was exultant music
in it. Nature had made her to
sing. But her crowingl my! how
hoarse, grating and out of place
it wasl
The whistling girl! Did you
ever know a girl that could whis-
tie? We never did, we have
heard them try, but like tie
hens growing it was a pitiable
attempt. She can't even call a
dog by whistling to him! But
she can sing. Her voice was
made with music in it. Music
for church, music for the
nursery, music for the sick room.
But whistling this belongs to
the boy. His jaws puff out Just
right. His lips pucker Just
enough. He can whistle. Nature
seems to have built him that
way. But not so the woman.
Somehow, growing hen and a
whistling woman seem to be
assuming the prerogatives of
the other sex, and wherever
such an attempt is made, either
by hens or women there is likely
to be a noticeable and lamentable
reduction in the number and
size of broods raised on the
farm.

LONDON SUFFRAGETS' TRIAL
RESUMED TODAY
London, May 5.-The trial of the
suffragets, charged with conspiracy,
including Miss Annie Kenney and
General Mrs. Flora Drummond, ar
rested in connection with the raid on
the Women's Social and Political
Union, and Sydney g. Drew and Ed
ward G. Clayton, the men accused of
aiding them, was resumed today.
Clayton, who is charged with adj
vising the women how to burn the
lumber yards and public buildings of
London with chemicals, was scored
by the prosecutor, who started that
the Richmond chemist had "prosti-
tuted science to criminal ends"
The prosecutor claimed that in the
raid on union headquarters the police
found many receipts for money paid
to persons convicted of some of the
explosions, fires and other outrages
that marked the militant reign of ter
ror, and he demanded that all the de-
PENDANTS be held for trial at Old
Bailey and committed to Jail without
bail.
The seven women and two men ar
rested in yesterdays rioting in Traf-
algar square were sentenced to from
two to four weeks in prison. One of
the women was Miss Lansbury,
daughter of George Lansbury, ex-
parliament member.
Another crucial vote on woman
suffrage, the fourth in four years, is
in sight in the house of commons.

franchise about 100000 women.
The military tactics adopted by
the women have lost them many
former advocates and the division to-
morrow night on the vote is likely to
be exceedingly close. If there should
be majority in favor, it would still
be subject to amendment in commit
tee and possible defeat on third read
ing.
Miss Christabel Pankhurst, exiled
in Paris, declared the Suffraget would
be published in that city, and that if
England succeeds in having Presi-
dent Poincare, under the entente cor
dale between the two countries, ex-
pei the suffragets and their paper
from France, some other place viii

TRIBUNE AUTO TRUCK KILLS
MAN-DRIVER NOT ARRESTED
Robert S. Hay, 2258 South Forty
third court, was run down and killed
by a Tribune auto truck delivering
Sunday Tribunes at Kedzie avenue
and Twenty-second street shortly
before 8 o'clock Saturday night.
John Bowman, 1885 West Harrison
street, was driving the Tribune truck
at the time of the accident. He did
not stop until he was forced to do
so. 1t is reported that he then said
that he could not wait to find out if
the man he had run over was badly
injured because he had to deliver his
Tribunes right away.
There are two stories as to how
the accident occurred. The one told
by eye-witnesses makes Bowman and
the authorities who have allowed
newspaper auto trucks to break all
the city ordinances responsible for
the Staying of Hay; that told by
Forest City press. (Forest City, Potter County, D.T. [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1913-09-19

HOLE CUT
Into The New Bitulithic Street
By Sewerage Company.

The first opening was made in the
nsE bitulithic street yesterday in
49, of the Hooser property on
YSfn street by the Hopkinsville Sew
erage Co. A strip about Is inches
wide was cut out from the curb line
to a point near the center of the
street in order to make connection
that was not made last fall. The
kopening is made at the expense of
the Sewer Company and under the
five years guaranty the Southern
Bitulithic Co., will have the opening
repaired and put back as it was be.
fore. The opening of the street was
a very difficult matter. as the four
inch topping was as hard as a rock
and its enduring character was fully
demonstrated. Many protests by
citizens were heard against cutting
into the street. but the Sewerage
Company has right under its fran
chise to make the connection but it
will be an expensive proposition for
it. 1t is likely that the Council will
pass an ordinance requiring a cash
deposit to be made for any future
openings in the permanent streets.
