King Withdrew.

1t is pity that Floyd w.
King, of Allegheny, withdrew
from the race for attorney
general of the State. He is a
real citizen and would have
given Sam Williams a sure
enough fight, and made some
interest in the campaign. Cor
don Cummings will carry, and
ought to carry the Tidewater
and Eastern Virginia vote. He
is a good man and good law
yer and nobody will have a word
to say against him. AS for John
Garland Pollard, he is good
looking man, a kind of profess
siOnal anti-machinist and seems
to have the support of the Rich
mond Times-Dispatch. There
fore it is doubtful whether he
will carry the city of Richmond.

will do to him will be plenty.

Phone No. 3 I

Just where and how these
lines should be drawn, is a big
problem. Just how for and
wherein Mr.. Johnson's COM
plant and criticism of the lack
of support on the part of the
people and the "tinkering" by
legislatures is .iustitiable we do
not know.
Certainly true it is that laws
seem to be necessary to regulate
the conduct of railroad COM
panies as well as that Of individ-
uals, and to this all railroad
officials readily subscribe, but at
the same time no law should be
passed that will not encourage
and not hinder, the extension
and improvement of railroads.
More and better roads are need
ed, and the one we already have
as well as the building of
others, should be encouraged
and not hindered.

At the moment that "Brutus,"
one of the big lions of the Gin
cinnati Zoo, was scheduled to
keep an appointment with a
motion-picture operator, one of
the guards appeared with a
large piece TO meat, which was
held up invitingly. Thereupon
Brutus presented an unusually
pleasant face TO the picture
machine. 1t was only a pass
ing" expression. however, for
the withholding of the meat
soon aroused a feeling of impa-
thence, which rapidly grew in
intensity providing the operator
with an excellent series of facial
motion pictures. A picture of

appears in the July Popular

MIR. ]. THOMPSON BROWN
AND MIR. KOINER.

Mr.. j. Thompson Brown, who
is opposing Mr.. Koiner for
Commissioner of Agriculture,
has already begun his attack
upon Mr.. Koiner.
His points of attack are differ
ent, somewhat, this time
from those of four years ago.
Then he went over the State
attacking Mr.. Koiner's integ-
rity, and tried to show that the
commissioner was untrust-
worthy. Failing to prove any of
his charges he now makes a new
move, and attacks the manner
in which the office has been
administered. SO far as we nave
seen, now, as well as four years
ago, Mr.. Thompson Brown has
not given the voters any proof
that he is more capable of adj
ministering the Office than is
Mr.. Koiner. SO far as we have
seen only the Southern Planter
and the Bedford City Democrat,
are the only papers in the State
advocating Mr.. Brown nominal
ton. The Democrat is published
in Mr.. Browns county, and let
the feline escape from the bur-
lap in its article of advocacy
when it said, that "Mr. Brown
is from this county and his cleo
ton would be of benefit and
honor to the county," or words
to that effect.
So far as we can see, neither
the Southern Planter, (supposed
to be non-partisan in politics.,
nor the Bedford City Democrat,
Mr.. Browns county paper, nor
his own specification of charges,
all combined, show sufficient
grounds why the voters should
elect him to the place and turn
out a true and tried official.

LIVE STOCK INSURANCE.

During this present summer
no less than twenty head of fine
cattle have been killed by light
ming, in the county, none of
which, so far as we know,
were insured. Only within the
last few years have the graziers
here been able to get reliable
insurance for live stock. Fraud

stroyed confidence in this line of
insurance, but now it is upon a
basis as solid and reliable as any
other line, and farmers are tax.
ing advantage of the low rate,
and insuring their cattle against
lightning.
The rate, we are informed, is
20 cents per head for 8 months,
per one hundred dollars valu-
alton, or $500 per one thousand
dollars valuation, for 80 days.
Surely this is cheap enough. If
only one export steer should be
killed during the season, the
premium of insurance would
prove a fine investment, but it's
seldom that only one of a bunch
of cattle is struck, but always
more than one, as in the case of
Mr.. Lawson's, a few weeks ago
when IA head were killed, and
of DR.. Painters a day or two
ago, when 5 head were killed.
Live stock, like fire and life in
surance, is coming to be regard
ed as wise business policy.

For the present Mr.. Rich will
remain in Graham, but may

his home in the new Episcopal
rectory lately occupied by DR..

/ Mr.. Rich, who is a young
minister of unusual missionary
spirit and great aggressiveness,
has beeen in this diocese only
one year, having come here last
June from Blue Ridge Summit,
Pa, and his appointment to the
office of arcdeacon comes as a
splendid tribute to his work in
Tazewell and Giles counties dur
ing the past twelve months. He
is son of the Rev. A. j. Rich,
president of Hannah Moore Col
lege for girls in Maryland, and
is brother of Rev. Alex Rich,
of Georgia. Mr.. Rich will have
under his supervision the work
of the Episcopal church in nine

TAZEWELL'S BOOSTER DAY.

The newspapers, local and
state, have commented favor
ably, some of them enthusiastic

Day and celebration, June 18th.

TURN ON THE LIGHT!

Will some gentleman please
enlighten us on an important
subject-one which we have
tried in vain to answer to our
own satisfaction? 1t is this:
What is wrong with the Demo-
cratic State organization? In
the minds of certain citizens in
this section there is something
radically wrong, but just what
and where none of them have as
yet clearly indicated. We much
prefer to have this question an
swered by some one who is not a
candidate for an Office at this
time or who expects to be at any
time in the future, for the reason
that an answer from such a one
could not possibly be unbiased
however conscientious it might
be. SO far as we have observed
the kicking" and criticisms
have come almost invariably
from those seeking Office or
their close friends and support
ers. And we submit, that this
class of critics cannot be regard
ed as safe guides, however
honest they may be.
1t is remarkable fact, that
every candidate from Governor
down, who has ran for an Office
for years past has based his
claims to election upon some
flimsy charge or charges against
administration, not one of which
so far as we know, has ever
been proven. Now, we ask in all
candor, what is wrong with the
State government of Virginia?
A few years ago we made new
constitution, putting the State
upon an entirely new basis, and
started out afresh with one of
the best State constitutions ever
made, and have been going
along finely. Still. there are a
number of men in the State dis
gruntled, dissatisfied and con-
stantly hurting carping crit
icisms against everything and
everybody. Instead of putting
their shoulders to the wheel and
pushing with all their might to
help the old State rise, they
have their hands on the tail
board, pulling back, with all
their might. Now, we want to
get on the right side Of this
question if we ere not already
there. What is wrong. Are
there serious defects in oul
organic laws, or is the defect il
the administration of the laws
If the fault or defect is in tho
administration of the laws, are
those who are beating theil
brains out against the bars try
ing to get in better qualified t.
administer and run things thar
those who are already in. Let
show up or shut up.

Should suckers be pulled off
corn? The experiment stations
say that the removing of suck
ers invariably decreases the
yield, and should not be re-
moved. This is contrary to all
opinions held by our fathers.
And even now many good farm
ers are careful to remove all
suckers, but after repeated and
careful experiments, extending
through a series of years, the
agricultural experts give it as
clearly proven, that suckers
should not be removed from
growing corn.

mysteries. The frolic, boost and

great good directing the thought
of the natives to the splendid
blessings they lave, calling
"back home" the minds of those
who have wandered, giving to
