ENABLING ACT is PASSED.

The enabling act passed bv n good
majority in the House. The vote was
atie in the Senate, the lieutenant gov

senate, casting the deciding vote in
favor of the bill. At this writing the
bill is in the hands of the Governor
for his signature. The fate of the
measure is still in jeopardy, owing to

thought by some. to be demonstrations

GIVE THAT PUNY CHILD
A GUARANTEED REMEDY

If your child is under-weight, list
less, ailing, liable to get sick easily,
it needs medicine to build its weight
and strength. For this purpose there
is nothing else we know of that we
can so strongly endorse as Rexall Oh
i've Oil Emulsion. The remarkable
success of this splendid medicine is
due to the fact that it contains in
gradients that tone the nerves, enrich
the blood and furnish to the entire
system the strength, weight and health
building substances it needs. And it
does all this without injuring the
stomach. In fact, Rexall Olive Oil
Emulsion is not only pleasant to take
but even the most sensitive stomach
is benefited by it, and the digestion
improved. On the other hand, it con-
tains no alcohol or habit-forming
drugs, which most parents object Civ
ing to children. 1t does its good work
by taking hold of the weakness and
builds up the body up to it's normal
strength, ut the same time making il
strong to resist disease.
If Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion doesn't
build your child up, feed the stunted
puny muscles, and make the little one

nature to have, come back and tell u:

vinegar people, the last named includ-
ing the large apple growers all over
the state, each seeking to protect their
several interests, and taking all these
things into account, the bill will be
considered a victory for the "dry"
forces in the state. and there is little
doubt that it will carry in September.
The main objection TO the bill is
the clause which permits the brewer
les to continue while putting the Ii
uuor people out of business; and that
feature olso which directs that beer
manufactured in the state shall be
sold outside and not inside the state.
The out-and-out prohibitionists object
to and criticise this feature. If it
is harmful to sell beer in Virginia ii
is scarcely the thing to do to make it
for other states. These "other states"
are, presumably, able to take care of
themselves. The bill provides that
beer and wine, etc, made in the state
shall not be shipped into dry terri
tory.
1t is not clear at all that the state
has the constitutional right to say
what shall and what shall not be ship

A Word Not i'm the Bible

Character-you won't find the word
in your Bible. But there you learn
what it is. The Bible isn't a diction-
ary-it's Teacher. The primary
meaning of the word character" is
an instrument for marking or engrav-
ing; commonly, Il mark engraved upon
plate of stone or metal; a figure cut
deeply into plate of bronze by n
chisel of steel. Now do you begin
to understand what character is?
Something which your daily life
cuts deep and deeper into your soul
day by day, and marks you, l pray,
for one of Gods men or women, even
special one among His millions.
"To him that overcometh | will give
a white stone, and in the stone mot
ION" it, you will observe) new
name written, which no man knoweth
save he that receiveth it." Isn't that
glorious? Wondrously glorious?
That new name, craven by the finger
OF God, in exclusive confidence with
yourself. deep in the white pebble of
your life-that's your character. Not
Simon, as men called you. But Peter
by the dear Lords notwithstanding.
What God knows you are, and what
you know you are. Do you begin
to understand what your character is :?
Even the angels may never fully
comprehend your true character. John
quotes Christ as saying that it is a
secret between God and yourself. Nav
be God himself doesn't quite know
your new name yet. He is learning
1t from your daily life. Are YOU
setting him fair copy for that new
name? Every day you pray the Heav
emily Father to watch over you and
keep you from evil in your actions.
DO you pray just as earnestly that
lie will watch just as carefully to see
what you are thinking. hear what
you are whispering, that he will look
down INTO your deepest soul to note
what are your secret inclinations? Bv
these things you are shaping your
character. God doesn't make it: YOU

Another distinct and important adj

dangerous calomel as we'll as all other
remedies for such ailments and where
aan atmosphere of health and happi-
ness now prevails.
Dodson's Liver Tone is uncondition

LET US HAVE PEACE.

The Richmond Evening Journal
says:
"The great and pressing need of
the Democratic party in Virginia is n
convention composed of delegates
from all over the state at which
there shall be considered the various
questions of public interest and vital
public concern. The result of this
deliberation should be embodied in
platform of principles outlining with
clearness and precision the position
of the majority of the party in the
state on every subject of consequence
sufficient to justify consideration at
the hands of body as important as
state convention of Virginia Demo-
Gratis"
The Clinch Valley News has urged
this same thing for some time. We
need a general meeting of intelligent
Democrats to formulate set of
principles-a creed, if you please
upon which the party can unite, and
to which it shall be pledged. The
present divided condition of the party
i'll certain sections is due to the fact
that any and every man feels justified
IN formulating rceed--in saying
what the party should or should not
do, and talk begins and division has
its entering wedge. And the special
creed promulgated by the wise and
independent statesman depends large
ly upon and is colored by the lenses
through which he looks. And expe-
rience has proven that in all parties
where differences have arisen, as a
rule, have arisen from parties who
wanted something, either for them
selves or their friends. Honest men
these, OF course, but they act indie
pendent!y often, to confusion and di-
vision, for the want of platform or
creed to which all parties are agreed
and by which they are bound. We
believe in independence of thought
and action, but also in unity of ac-
tion-in peace.
Take our own Democratic commu-
nifty. For some months-quite a year
or moreover since it became an as
sured fact that the Democrats would
be successful in the presidential cleo
tion-there has been differences and
chickering's, firing and cross-firing-
sometimes hot and deadly-amonr
good Democrats to the hurt of the
party. And here is our point: in
TACT and reality, there is absolutely
no difference between us. No vital
principle is involved. We challenge
any sensible Democrat in either fac
ION, to name one single political
principle of any Importance to which
all the rest are not agreed.
Here is where platform of prin-
ciples would come in. Take the Pol
lard Progressive League business. A
rucas is being kicked up about a
number of things, and if the truth
was known, nine-tenths of the Demo-
Gratis OF the state are already agreed
ON these very points. SO far MS n
number of us are concerned, we can
subscribe to every one of them. Then.

composed of honest Democrats, who
see through clear glasses, to formu

such a creed is formed, take it from

Looks Bright For Manufacturers


The growth of the export trade
during 1913 was greater than in any
similar period in our history. In the
month of January of this year the
expectations of American products
was greater than in any preceding
month.
1t always has been the contention
of the Democratic party that to
abolish the protective tariff system
tearing down the wall which our
manufacturers had around the home
market, would result i'm forcing
American manufacturers into foreign
markets in self-defense. This result
seems to be following the enactment
OF the revenue tariff. 1t is but fair
TO recall that the increase in our ex-
port trade had been apparent before
the PayneAldrich law was passed.
1t is just as fair to say, however, that
the increase has been faster under
the Underwood Simmons law than
ever before. The new law gives the
manufacturer easier access to raw
materials, and enables him not only
to sell at lower price both at home
ana abroad, but also to increase his
output.
Indications are that within a wear
we shall see the manufacturers in the
majority of industries prospecting
more greatly than ever they did under
the protective decentralization Eve

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Miller. uncle
and aunt of the ffteen-year- old girl,
are also to be put through a severe
examination by the detectives in an at

The stories told by Mrs. Miller, when
questioned by the police Monday, did
not hang together, according to the
detectives. and they say they are con-
