GRAND JURY WILL GET AFTER
AUTOMOBILE OWNERS.

Complaints having been made that
several automobile owners in Tazc-
well County have not paid any license
on their machines, witnesses have
been summoned to appear before the
grand jury to testify regarding the
alleged violations of law.
1t seems also that some persons
who are not dealers have secured from
dealers demonstration tags which are
being displayed on their machines, in
stead of Il regular license tag as re-
quired by law. These demonstration
tags will not protect owners of auto
mobiles, but it is necessary for each
owner of an automobile to secure Il
regular license from the Secretary of
the Commonwealth.
1t is charged that there are some
automobiles in the county almost worn
out on which license tags have never
appeared.
1t is likely that several persons who
have evaded the tax and think they
are secure from detection, will receive
Il distinct shock when the revelations
are made known and the grand jury
report is published.

Fixing Il pthe Old Church in Burke's
Garden.

The attempt, made sometime ago,
to build II fine new church in Burke's
Garden having been abandoned, at
least for the present, the old church
is being overhauled, so report has it,
and will be put in good shape. Just
what, or how much, is being done is
not given out, but whatever is neces-
sary to be done will be done, to make
the building attractive and comfort
able. 1t is stated that this commend
able work is being done by the young
people of the community. They are n
fine lot, are these Burke's Garden
young folks, and what they undertake
to do will bedone in no halfway fas-
hion. 1t is encouraging that our young
folks, and old ones too, want better
and more attractive churches along
with better roads and better homes.
And, by the way, had you thought
of it?-That the country churches of
the county, nearly all of them, need
overhauling and fixing up. We must
follow Burke's Gardens lead, and re-
make our houses of worship all over
the county.

LAwLEssNEss ABROAD IN LAND
Startling reports of lawlessness an

Startling reports of lawlessness and
attempts upon life and property in
different sections of the country, APP
peared in yesterdays daily papers. A
threatened uprising of Mexicans in
border states and Texas, is reported
as causing serious alarm. Dispatches
say that tho inhabitants of three
counties along the Rio Grande have
information that the Mexican popula-
ton of those counties have been plot
ting to kill or drive out all Ameri-
cans, instigated by Revolutionists in
Mexico. Every city and town in the
three counties named are under arms,
and the Secretary of War of the
United States has been communicated
with, and is ready to send large
number of troops there if necessary.
Making allowances for exaggcra-
tons in the report, the state af affairs
on the border is in rather bad shane.
and it is thought certain now that
the United States government will
take hand in restoring order in that
land of troubles.
NEMOURS POWDER PLANT Is
THREATENED
Another startling report is that an
attempt was made on last Sunday
night to blow up the Dupont powder
works at Nemours, near Pocahontas.
On Monday morning the first car into
the works ran over Il number of mat
ches which had been placed on the
rails, exploding only TWO or three of
them, as they had become dampcned.
1t is thought that had the matches
been dry and all of them exploded ut
once fearful disaster would have re-
suited
Extra guards have been placed on
duty at night around the works The
above statements are gathered from
the Blueiield Telegraph of yesterday.
