THE WAR TAX STAMPS.

BY this time it is probable that bus
mess men have all gotten straighten-
ed out on the tax stamp business. The
law does not make it obligatory upon
any federal officer except the District
Commissioners Of the Revenue, to keep
stamps on hand. Anyone can buy
them. The Postmasters are supposed
to keep them on hand, but if they
do it is only as an accommodation.
They don't have to. Every shipper
must look out for himself. The rail-
roads and express companies, being
shippers, require their employees to
keep stamps on hand, and stamp
packages for shipment, the shipper
paying for the stamps and canceling
same. There will be little confusion,
and everybody will soon fall in line
easily.
The law does not applyto parcels
post packages. The law provides
that stamps must be cancelled by the
shipper writing name and date across
the stamp, or the stamp so affixed to
the package as to destroy the stamp
when package is opened.
The stamp, cent, must be af-
fixed to all packages, bills lading,
manifests, etc., by the shipper, con-
signor or agent.

his manner. He was old, grizzled and
grey. His struggling, scattering
beard was almost perfectly white, as
was the ring Of thin hair low down on
his bald head. He held his hat in
hand, like the fine old colored men of
fast disappearing class we used
to know and admire. His old over
coat, the gift of some kindly white
neighbor, was sleek and worn. 1t
hung loosely, lower on one side than
on the other, over his broad and

and appealing, spread over his face.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS CHRIST
MAS GIFT TO THE BELGIANS.

The Secretary of the County Sun
day School Association, with the APP
proval of the President, Rev. C. II.
Brown, and members of the executive
committee, calls upon the Sunday
schools Of the county, to make a
Christmas present to their suffering
brothers and sisters of the stricken
land of Belgium. 1t is suggested
that we give the collection of one
Sunday to the cause. The superin-
tenderts will announce week in ad-
vance, that next Sundays collection
will be given as Christmas present
to the Belgian fund for the children
of Belgium.
The children will be glad to do this
if the superintendent and parents
will take an interest in the matter.
The Good Book says that it is better
to give than to receive. This gift by
the children need not interfere with
the home Xmas at all. There
are about 55 Sunday schools in the
county. A gift, however small, from
each one, will net neat little sum,
Make it as liberal as possible.
Appoint the day for the collection
that will suit best. Send the amount,
giving name of school, ETC., to the
Secretary of the County Association,
j. A. Leslie, who will acknowledge re-
ceipt through the papers.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
(Communicated.)

MY. opinion as to compulsory educa-
ton is also plainly expressed, and
when asked if | believe in compulsory
education my answer is that / most
certainly do. "ln the world there is
nothing great but man, in man there
Is nothing great but mind" And
since intelligence, next to God, is en-
throned as ruler of the universe il
seems to me the training of the mind
should be the first concern of the race.
If people don't want to send their
children TO school when they can do
SO, free of cost, they ought to be made
to send them. Every man be he rich
or poor owes to his child an educa-
ton. Soloman said, "Train up child
IN the way he should go, and when
he is old he will not depart from it,"
We realize that even now, i'm the
twentieth century there are some pa
rents who haven't yet found out the
value OF an education and they don't
send their children to school, Doesn't
the State of Virginia owe it to her
self to see that these children 90 to
school! For the productivity of a
people is everywhere proportional to
their education.
Perhaps some children would do no
good if sent, but how do we know
until we have tried. Give every child
chance and if he fails, he fails. The
schools are crowded.; we know it.
There are disadvantages, ETC., the best
work can not be done in a crowded
school-room, but some work can be
done. If all the children are com
PEELED to go to school more houses
must be built, more money must be
spent, etc. Money spent like that is
safe Investment and will yield in
creasing dividends with the passing of
the years. President Charles w. Dab
ney says: Massachusetts spent in
1898 twelve million, two hundred
thousand dollars more on her public
schools than Tennessee. But in re-
turn she earned four hundred million,
nine hundred thousand dollars more
than the same number of people in
Tennessee. Twelve million dollars in
vested in education yield four hundred
million dollars a year."
Education pays from n financial, a
political, and a personal standpoint.
A well-trained mind stands always at
par value. "No thief can ever ap-
proach it; no fire can ever consume
it; the hand of greed cannot touch it (;
while the green eye Of envy can only
covet its unfading influence and i'm
perishable power" Knowing this we
certainly realize that VIC owe to every
child chance to train his mind. A
few years ago a little boy didn't want
to go to school; father made him;
twas compulsory education" with
him. This same littln boy is big boy
now, graduate of well known uni
versity and one of the most promising
men of the South. He believes in COM
pulsory education.
However, the advocates of compul-
sory education need not worry. It's a
growth of the ages, and must event
ually win, for it has as its watch
words, moral and intellectual prog

ty, held here on the 2nd inst, your
name was added to others of your

sponse.

ing or freezing, will be most CRATE
fully received.
Cash contributions should be sent
directly to the Treasurer,
at Tazewell, W.. Contributions of
clothing, and foodstuff should be col
lected and stored ut some centrally

at once and designate some place in
the community for storing such sup
plies as may be donated. 1t is the de-
sire of the Committee to have all sup
plies ready for shipment by Dec. 20.
The time is therefore short, and
demands of you immediate attention.
