The Clinch Valley News extends
most hearty congratulations to Mr.
and Mrs. w. +. Morton, whose cele-
bration of the fortieth anniversary of

casion to join in the celebration and
festivities, besides large number of
appreciative friends from the town
and community. Mrs. Morton was
Miss Margaret Crockett, and there
fore related to a large number of
Tazewell people. Mr.. and Mrs. Nor

THAT COLORED TROTTER.

A short time ago the sporting ne
groes of Washington secured from
the racing stables of Boston a GER
tain trotter, and he was put on the
track in Washington. An exhibition
was given before President Wilson by
this ripsnorting racer, who proved to
be scarcely bridlewise, and disap-

him we'll groomed for the Occasion.
He was started on time, and hit it up
at pretty good clip. Before he
reached the judges stand he was call
ed down and sent to the stables, and
his hackers warned that he was for
ever barred the use Of the track here
after, and he trotted off with Il limp.
AT another time, on similar occa-
sion, a committee of negroes, raised
decently down South, among white
folks, called on the President. Col
Giles b. jackson, the colored lawyer
of Richmond, was put forward as
spokesman and representative, Ito

mittee. He made n sensible speech
which so impressed the President as
to secure a promise to visit the big
celebration the colored people are
planning to take place next year in
Richmond. There is difference
Such negroes as Trotter are a hind
rance to the cause of the progress of
his race. He should be relegated to
the rear.

at to compulsory education in this

af to compulsory education in this
county.
My opinion is, briefly and plainly
expressed, that we do not need it or
wfnt it. If people don't want to send
their children to school when they can
do so, free of cost, let them keep them
at home. Many of these children
would do no good if sent. Many who
are now in school are doing no good,
and had just as well be out, and at
work, trying to make living. And
then, there are many people who can
not buy books and clothes sufficient
for their children. If they sent their
children TO school in shabby clothes
they would be laughed at, and made to
feel very badly, by the more highly
favored children. And again, the
schools, as you say. are already over
full. ] know of two small school
houses in which now there are 65 in
one and ~ in the other. If you com
pei all the 5000 or more children of
school age in this county, to go to
school, you must 20 to building school
houses, hiring more teachers, etc.
The complaint is now that we can't
pay the teachers we already have. No
compulsory education yet awhile.

there are those who throw up their
hands and think they are in the midst

shipments in yesterdays issue we
showed that the local field had let out
its yell before it was hurt. The latest
and most authoritative information is
that the balance of trade for Octo-
Der was about $27, 100000 in favor of
this country, while in July it was
$68,000,000 against US. That is show
ing some improvement, but the pecu-
liar part of it is that when the bal
ance of trade was against this coun-
try we either did not know it or we
did not care. On every side there are
indications that the revival is COM

home to us. We can see that and feel

GEOGRAPHY IN THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS-AGAIN.

The editorial in last issue of this
paper, on Geography In The Public
Schools, was misunderstood. Per-
haps we did not express clearly what
was intended to be conveyed. 1t was
not commended that the study of geog-
raphy should be cut out entirely from
the free school curriculum. The study
of geography is interesting and use
full when properly taught. What we
meant to say then, we repeat here
with emphasis, that geography, as
now taught, is waste of time and
therefore useless, and the books
should be revised throughout. The
small primary geography, which gives
the child it's first knowledge of the
size, shape and general division of the
earth on which it lives, is useful, and
should be carefully taught, and this
first course, in the hands of u skillful
teacher, with the use of good large
maps and charts, will give the pupil
all the knowledge needed, and all that
can be of service. In the senior or
last course, about one good recitation,
with proper maps, ETC., on each CONT
nent or country, occupying, say
week, is all absolutely, that is neces-
sary. And this is what we stated
last week, and we believe the major
ity, even of school people are of the
same opinion. AS stated heretofore,
the study of the geography of the
United States should be more thor
ough, perhaps, but should not be
taught until the pupil reaches the
higher grades. And when it comes to
physical geography, placing this diff
cult study in the hands of young chill
dren of immature minds, is worse than
waste of time. Particularly now,
until the great history-making and
continent forming war is over, should
there be no new biographies intro
dlced in the schools, and those already
in use had as well be suspended, par
tally at least, for what is true now,
and has been for n long time, in both
geography and history, may, of neces-
sity, have to be changed and I'M
learned by the pupils now in the
schools.

KING ALFALFA GIVING FOR
TUNE OF 100000 TO FAITH
Full SUBJECTS.

The following is from South Da-
kota paper:
Alfalfa reigns as king in western
South Dakota, conservative esti-
mate indicating that more than $780,
600 has been distributed for alfalfa
seed to Pennington and Meade county
farmers during the months of October
and November to date. Local banks
handle the financial end of the seed
transactions and in two days recently,
the First National Bank, of this city,
paid out over $4,000. Each of the
big financial institutions have paid
out approximately $4,000 and the
smaller ones are not far behind, hav-
ing in the aggregate paid out over
$4,000.
The seed sells from eleven to thir-
teen cents pound and is in demand
wherever alfalfa is raised. Among
the ranchmen who raised large
amounts are the Hamm brothers on
Elk Creek, George Mcfarland, Omar
Beniot, and Joe Ricard.
The extent of the business is indi-
Gated by the fact that during the past
week ten carloads of seed have been
shipped from this city to points in the
east.
While George Mcfarland is one of
the leading shippers of seed, other
ranchmen closely approximate his re-
ceipts of $500 for seed. Mcfarland
is one of the pioneers in the business
of raising alfalfa, having started with
seed obtained from Sam Moore in
1888

A QUESTION WHICH DEMANDS
AN ANSWER.

Civilization has collapsed. No one
disputes or denies l believe, that the
nations now engaged in an effort to
destroy each other entirely have been
regarded as the most highly cultivated
and civilized on earth. In music, art,
Lhes ciences, manufacturers, education
and all, they were nearly perfect.
They seemed to have reached the top,
when suddenly there is a tottering
and crash, and the entire fabric col
lapses, and the bloodliest and most
brutal and destructive war ever
known, is now being waged by these
same "civilized" nations. We call it
christian" civilization, and here is
my question: What relation does
Christianity sustain to this civiliza-
ton? If a Christian civilization has
collapsed, then has the "Christian'
part of it collapsed, too? To what ex-
tent is Christianity responsible for the
civilization which has collapsed? Can
you enlighten me?
"READER"
The question is serious and i'm
portant one. The editor doesn't feel
that he is capable Of answering the
question satisfactorily.
Will some one or more of the min
listers or other thoughtful men, give
us the benefit of their thinking along
these lines?

to Southwest Virginia
For Relief.

The governor of Virginia has ap-
pointed Il committee of one from each
Congressional District to formulate
plans to aid in collecting food, warm
clothing and other supplies for the
starving Belgians. 1t is hoped that
one or more ship loads may be con.
tributed in this State and shortly
leave the port of Norfolk under the
Virginia flag us an evidence of the
sympathy which our people have for
the great suffering in Belgium.
Arrangements are now being made by
the Commission for a ship. The great,
pressing, immediate need is for food.
Any kind of cereals such as wheat,
oats, rye, corn, -four and meal;
meats, such as bacon, ham and lard;
vegetables, such as Irish potatoes,
beans and peas; any kind of canned
vegetables or fruits; will not only be
acceptable but will stand TRANSPORTS
ton well and will do II great deal to
relieve the millions of helpless wom-
en- and children in Belgium who are
on the verge of starvation. Also any
warm clothing, either new or second
hand, in good condition, for men, wo
men or children will be very accept
able.
The Undersigned has been appointed
by the Governor as member of the
Commission from the Ninth Congress
sional District and it is his especial
duty to perfect some kind of an or
ganiZation in the district to assist in
this great work. This territory has
been richly blessed with all sorts of
food products and it is hoped that the
people of these counties and towns
will cheerfully contribute of their
abundance in this great emergency.
! trust that all local newspapers
will publish this appeal and urgently
bring to the attention of the people
this great opportunity to give freely
in good cause, and that the churches
fraternal organizations, benevolent
orders and generous citizens of each
locality will Immediately respond in
an organized effort to aid in this re-
lief work. | will designate commit
tees in each county to act in concert
and endeavor to expedite the collec-
tons as the need is very urgent.
The railway companies will trans
port clothing and provisions to Nor
folk free of charge. These should be
held at the local point of collection
until shipping directions are given.
On advice of the collection of any
food or clothing for shipment l will
furnish shipping tags. Contributions
IN money can be sent to me or direct
to ii. M. Boykin, Richmond, Va,
Chairman of the Commission. The
money will be converted into clothing
or food. A record will be kept by the
Commission of the funds and sup
plies received from each county.
Arrangements to send ship from
Norfolk are being pushed and all col
lections or donations should be made
and reported at once.
Respectfully,
j. f. VISOR.

lief Commission.

HIS NEW CORN CRIB.

81 see," said Uncle Ezra, "that you
are building you new crib, Johnath-
an. How big are you goin' to build
it?" Uncle Jonathan said he was
not going to build a very large one.
Instead of building one that would ac-
commodate his entire crop of about
800 or 1000 bushels, he would build
two, one to hold his good corn and
the other, the nubbins.
"Now, Jonathan" said his neigh
Dor, "why is nubbin? Are we
bound and compelled to make nub-
bins? 1t seems to me that, if we
managed right we might have all
good corn just as well. You remember
the Professor said, when we had the
meetin' at the hall, when he spoke,
that if we would manage right we
need not have nubbins at ALL" 81 do
ricollect that he said somethn' like
that, but l have forgot You know
my memory is not so good now. What
did he say, Ezry?"
"Well, as l riccollect now, Johnath-
an" Uncle Ezra went on, "he said,
first and for'most, we oughter have
good seed. That some grains O. corn
are so weak and have so little life in
'em, that they can't make good ear
O. corn. He illustrated by the sire,
you know. He said the offspring of
little, weak sire would be weak, and
he said it was just thater way with
corn or any other grain, and blamed
if don't expect he's right. And then,
he said, the land must be rich and the
corn not planted too thick. Often, he
said, there wasn't enuff plant food in
the ground for all the grains to have
enough to eat. You know, Jonathan,
If you have only enuff biscuits for
breakfast for the family and comp'ny
drops in, somebody must eat less and
go hungry. And it's just so about
corn. 1t must have, like pigs, enuff to
eat to make 'em grow into strong, big
hogs. So the land must be rich and
well prepared and fixed. The feed
won't do the pigs any good if it is not
where. they can get it, and in proper
form.
"Then, too, he said, never replant.
The replants make sorry nubbins, and
nothin' else. Last year my blasted old
planter didn't work good and skipped
and | replanted, and every dad-blast-
ed replant had nothins but n nubbin
and the other stalks were injured,
too. And think we might try tho
Professors plan next year, and see
how it works."
"Well," said Uncle Jonathan, 81 be-
lieye Pll not build nubbin crib, and
trythe new plan. Maybe won't need
but one crib" ~ must be goin'. Good
day, Jonathan" "Good evening

Where the voices sing and call
Through the golden mists of au-

And thed ust of toll and strife
Hides the valley of it's magic
In the later years of life;
But it's not so hard to find it
When again you chance to see
The ripe persimmons hanging
On the old persimmon tree;
To Boyland, loved old Boyland,
With it's music and its thrail,
When the frost has kist the pump
kins
And the ripened chestnuts fall!
1t makes our old limbs tremble
When we think sometimes how far
The road runs back to Boyland
And it's shining morning star;
But the loved abode of memory
Draws so close, so close again,
When the dear old things in nature
Wake the slumbering dreams of
men,
To Boyland, far-off Boyland,
Why, it's just beyond the wall
When October's in the woodland
And the ripened chestnutS fall!

REQUIREMENTS FOR A GOOD
FARMER.

DR.. Bailey, an experienced and sue
cessful farmer, says in Southern Ag-
riculturist, that four things make Il
successful and good farmer. First,
he makes good living from the land.
Second, he rears family carefully
and well. Third, he is useful citizen.
Fourth, he leaves his farm more pro-
ductive than when he took it.
There seems nothing unreasonable
here. How does your farm work show
up when these tests are applied?
