THE POSTOFFICE AND THE CAN.
DIDATE FOR CONGRESS-

SO far as we recall, only two post
masters have been appointed in the
Ninth district under the present adj
mlnistration. There are about 35J
postofiices in the district Nearly one
year has passed since Mr.. Wilson wa
inaugurated and Mr.. Burleson ap.
pointed postmaster general; and up t.
this good hour only two lone postmas-
tiers have been appointed in this, the
largest district in the state, notwith-
standing applications have been made
and forwarded for each. Republicans
still hold their seats, in nearly every
postoftice in the district.
Heretofore, since the government
began, we believe, the United States
Senators have been allowed to name
the postmasters, or at least, control
their confirmation in the Senate. The
Ninth district has a Republican Rep
resentative in Congress, who is said
to be an intimate friend of the Post
master General, and right there is
the milk in the cocoanut.

tempting to control patronage still.

but II the way the postoffice patron
age has been managed at home and
IN Washington is not detrimental TO
Democratic success next fall. then we
are woefully mistaken, and are mis-.
Judging circumstances and events.
1t would have been far better to
have settled these appointments one
way or another six months ago. To
allow them to hang and drag for y
whole year, has given time and occa-
sion for criticism, and possibly local
disaffection here and there. 1t should
be said in this connection, and is
gladly recorded here, no matter what
diHerences may have existed before
Inc Baltimore convention, that since
that time and event, the Democrats of
the Ninth district are a unit in their
enthusiastic support of President Will
sons splendid administration.

SHALL 1T BE ABSOLUTE
PROHIBITION?

The Roanoke Times proposes that
we find out just exactly what the
temperance people want-absolute
prohibition, clean cut and clean out
every where, under all circumstances,
or only partial, allowing certain gen
tlemen of discreet habits to be able
to obtain their dram for themselves,
and to offer to their friends and
guests privately, presumably in their
homes. Or, shall prohibition be re-
stricted to liquors, other than wine
and beer?
The question resolves itself into
this, as we see it: "Shall prohibition
apply to some and not to other char
acters of citizens?" To express an
opinion that may subject one to the
charge of fanaticism is not Il pleasant
thing to do at all times, and on this
account definite and decided answer
to the question may not be generally
obtained. However, we think we can
venture to speak for the rank and file
in this section. We want absolute
prohibition or none ut all Local
option is better than nothing, but is
entirely unsatisfactory. Certain towns
in this section voted local option
years ago, declaring that they did not
want liquor sold within their borders.
1t has been sold within their borders
daily ever since. If it be true, as
al. hot
prohibit, it can also be claimed with
truth that local option does not pro-
hibit. A bootlegger, with IL few bot
ties hid in the fence corners in dark
alley, hiding from officers of the
law and lodging their bullets, is pre-
ferable to the well-dressed, polite
liquor drummer, selling it right UNI
der your nose, publicly on the street
under the sanction of law. The one
will be controlled, fined and imprison-
ed, or perhaps, shot, the other cannot
be molested, He is doing lawful
business.
Now, if any good reason can be
given why liquor should be made and
sold-commercial, social or moral
we shall be against prohibition. But
some reson better than the selfish one
that some men like whiskey and
want it convenient and handy. The
truth is, we believe, that the majority
of drinking men-men who have been
injured, and perhaps injured the most
will be glad to put the stuff forever
beyond their reach. Who better than
the man who has been stung OF bit
ten is able to judge of the effect of
the poison?
AT this writing it is not known
how the enabling act will be "load.
ed" 1t is to be hoped that it will be
in such shape as to commend its
provisions to the real friends
OF temperance, and that the question
may he satisfactorily settled, once
for all.

Fishing In Florida.

Speaking about fishing, | just

Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion contains
pure Olive Oil and the Hypophosphites
which, though they have long been
endorsed by successful physicians,
are here for the first time combined.

interesting facts in connection with
his business. His territory embraces
Buchanan, Wise, Smyth, Russell, Taze
we'll and parts of Tennessee. He
bought this season $4,000 worth of
hides in Morristown, Tenn. ;S3 500 in
Norton; 5000 in Smyth and Bland and
nearly $4,000 worth in Tazewell. He
has about five buyers, one of whom
is our champion corn shucker, Dan
Angus. George Duncan and Emmett
Johnson are other buyers.
Dan tells us that 'possums stand
first in the number of hides furnished,
skunks next; then in order the fox,
coon, civet, cat muskrat and mink,
! with a few wild cats and black house
cats.
Included in Balls budget is ginseng,
Mayapplc, wild ginger, golden seal,
and perhaps u few other medicinal
roots and herbs. The ginseng bought
this season cost $3.50 per pound. The
number of bearing animals are
gradually diminishing in this section.
If Ball keeps up his present pace it
will be only few years until they
will all be gone. 1t might be well for
the legislature to prohibit the taking
of certain fur-bearing animals for a
few years at least.
The above is not paid advertise
ment, but only given at what seems
to us interesting facts, perhaps I'M

These who are interested in build
ing bigger Virginia cannot fail 10
realize the fundamental Importance Of
utilizing in some way the 100000
acres of so-called waste land within
the bounds of the state. This utiliza-
ton can be largely erected by graz
ing with sheep. Winter cover crops
on the tillage areas offers in the
greater part of the state grazing
which can be utilized when frost has
destroyed the waste land pasture
Sheep raising, if feasible, would. in
the main, be just so much velvet
Wandering dogs, however, make the
industry practically impossible.
Although the first in economic inn
portance, this is by no means the
only charge against the running at

year its horrible toll of human life
and takes this toll with unspeakab,e

is there any good reason whv the

ANIMALS, shculd run at large? We

A large feeder of cattle has the

is suggestive:

wINTERING CATTLE ON sILAGE.

Some years ago a number Of silos
were put up and filled on the Stuart
farm in Russell county, and tried out
for a season, and report says, were
abandoned, for the reason that the
cattle did not seem to do well when
turned to grass in the spring. The
impression seems to prevail that cat
tie wintered on slage do not do as
well when turned to grass in the
spring as when wintcrcd on corn.
This idea is erroneous, according to
the experience of several feeders of
cattle in Kentucky. Cattle wintercd
on silage gain more heavily during
the winter, and 30 on grass in much
better condition than if they have
been half starved on coarse feed,
and hence the Improvement is not so
noticeable as when they go on grass
in poor flesh.

We have never taken much stock
in the generally accepted idea that
corn runs out" after keeping and
planting the same strain on h G
same farm for years. Robert Tarter
is making fine crops from seed which
he has used continuously for thirty
years. Corn does run out" but this
is due to carclessness or ignorance in
selecting seed. With care and good
judgment in the selection of seed,
corn will not only not deteriorate but
will grow better every year. This
has been clearly demonstrated.

work of the Department of Agricult-
ure and we are glad to help it along.

with us. They are the best and

proved themselves, the men in several
wars, the women in producing men
children who never were afraid to 20

their principles and ideals.
So, we want to keep these people,
to maintain the stock, girls and wo-

farms and the farmers prosperous, to
encourage this fine stock of people to
grow and stay with the land. That
should be the first and dominant pur-
pose in the thought of aur legisla-

all our commercial organizations in
our cities and towns. Build up the
country and the farms. Give them
