PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE a HAND

What's the matter with Tazcwel?
She's got the party hookworm. Meth
er Democrats or Republicans are Of
fering any candidates for county of
fees, both parties being apparently
"bullicd or bossed" into political in
sensiblity. Two generations have
held the same office, and wanted il
again, and it is said that both par
ties claim the candidate as mem
Der. If ignorance is bliss Tazewcll
is politically happy. There should
be Il breaking away from the lethargy
that has settled in the management
of both the old parties. Neither par
ty gains anything except disorgani-
zatlon. If the party committees
will not call conventions the people
have the right to do so. The people
deserve to have Il voice in the select
ion of county oilicials.-Blueficld Tel
cgraph.
farewell politics are not the same poll
tics today as of years ago. Party
lines are not so strong, nor partisan
feeling so rampant as foremrly in
either party. We believe we are not
far wrong in saying, that the rank
and file of the parties are for the
best man available. Certainly true it
is that there is less disposition now
than formerly in the Democratic par
ty to stir up big row where there is
little or no possibility of Il victory.
Put in the best men available, and
keep them in during good behavior
seems to he the feeling now.
AS to county conventions, no human
organization can be more easily "pack-
ed" and fail more completely to ex-
press the "wishea of the people,"
The day of the old county convention
seems TO have passed. The candidates
for the county offices now out, for the
most part, were brought out at the
solicitation of level-headad, business
men of their communities. The peo-
pie will vote for the best man, ire
spcctlvc of party affiliations. Just as
all good citizens should. Time was
when voters could be, and were per-
haps, buldozed and bought with few
dollars and a drink of red liquor but
that day is past and new order pre-
walls. Why should not Tazewel be
politically happy" She is happy
every other way now anyhow. Great
crops, line roads, good health, good
schools, good churches, high priced
cattle and sheep, and great Demo,
crat in the White House, and in the
Governors mansion in Richmond
why not "happy?" The only people
not happy apparently over our condi-
ton and situation live, it seems, in
Bluefeld, in close proximity to the
Telegraph office. Don't disturb us.
Let us alone. Look after the debt
question in West Virginia and pay us
what you owe us.

NOTES OF NORTH TAZEWELL.

North TaZewell, Sept. 3.-M;ss Ma
ric Baker has had bcvy of charming
young girls at the family house party
during the last week.
Inc little guests are all from Wise,
are cousins more or less removed, and
are members of that numerous and
well esteemed family of Kilgores.
from casual acquaintance with quite
a number of male members of the
family this writer is convinced that
nature has established a standard of
beauty for the men and BOYS. and
quite another for the girls-looking
as If the creation of girls were a
thing to be looked after, and the turn
ing out of the men had been neglect
ed, except perhaps in the case of the
old Judge.
AT Il meeting last night of the Anti
Automobile Association stir was
created by the resignation of Wade
Peery, who, in explaining his change
of attitude. remarked that he has
young son just ready to go into society
and he didn't intend to let him go
horseback and "carry his best girl
behind him" as "he" had had to do
before we got good roads. His res
lgnation was accepted and the sur
viving members hope that the car
iiends will give him the time of his
bright young life.
Speaking of autos-a number of
speed trials involving prizes for the
quickest turning of corners have been
declared off by reason of Mayor
Britts' proclamation, with the result
that three perfectly good machines
are on the market, and John Peery
insist that he can make better time
on a mule, through the Mayors speed
limit. JOHN.

men, he is all right. ale is n
man of education and high standing"
is the way one man puts it. We be-
lieve he is Democrat in politics. One
good citizen says, when asked his
opinion Of the ticket for sheriff, said:
Charles Hartman and John Graham
will make the county fine officers if
elected"
And so, Graham filings the banner to
the breeZes with the names of Har-
man and Graham for Sheriff and Nor
ton for Treasurer. The other ticket is
5. S. +. liarman, present incumbent,
for sheriff and VIM. Bandy, it is said
as deputy. These officers have held
the oflise for years, have made good
officers and will he hard to beat Both
of them have large following in the
county.
Treasurer Britain succeeded his
father in the office of Treasurer and
is well known as good and faithful
officer for many years past. This
time it is Tazewell against Graham
in Il friendly but strenuous fight for
the two chief county Offices. None
of these candidates are hampered,
as we understand, by party pledges
or particular tissues" so far as is
known, except the one of wet" or
"dry." This issue may be raised and
some questions asked, it is said, no.
of the above named candidates partic-
ularly, but of I'LL the candidates now
for election.

What's the Matter With TazcwelI?
(Advcrtisement.)

lFrom the Bluefield Telegraph.)
Tazewell is proably the leading Re-
publican county in the ninth Virginia
district, the only district, by the way.
IN the whole state where the Repubii-
cans have Il look in. There are about
thirty candidates for county offices
IN that county and no Republican
ucket. all of the candidates being of
the independent variety. In nearly
a.. OF the clher counties. even in those
where there is no hope of clecting
any one, the party has ticket flying
It's banner and making fight for it's
principles. What is the matter with
TaZewell?
30 long have prominent men enjoy
cd Offices hv The trading and traffic
route that they wan; to get in that
way again. The election of county Of
iiccrs IN TaZeweil is sort of ''you
tlckle me and I'll tickle you" game
between Democratic and Republican
leaders and some of the Offices are
held by one party and some by the
other as result. The fusionists are
again ut IT this year. making states
anu putting pets weakening
the party by failure 10 put out n
whole ticket and hold their party
members in the habit of voting the
Republican ticket. When they teach
their adherents to vote for Democrats
IN one election. and the nadvise them
to do so they can have no complaint
II they vote that way in another cleo
t tlon. Political principles are not
something TO be the pawn of socalled
leaders who use them in n panc for
their own selfish benefit.
What about the coming men who
come to the voting age proud of the
achievements of the party? Tell them
to sneak into the booth and scratch n
ticket to suit the traders? What
idea will they have of the PRINCIPLES
that undcrlie such advice?
The real Republicans Of Tazewell
should put out full ticket-name
candidates for every office to be filed,
and an. make the start now. 1t may be-
mat they will be defeated the first
time, but they viii at least have made
start in a direction that no real Re.

Chinch Bugs Becoming
Active.
By L. HAssMAs.

Dy ASs AAhcfhAA6s tsi3 4tVYf9f
The old winter -over bugs are
doing much damage 10 wheat il
west central Missouri and are bev
ginning to lay their eggs. By
the time this reaches the press
the majority OF the eggs win
have been laid and the old bugs
will have begun 10 die off and
their hords Of young will be ap-
pearlng. This 10 the time the
real chinch bug campaign should
begin. The old bugs are diff.
cult to handle since they can fly
but the eggs and young bugs are
more easily controlled.
The Missouri College of Agri-
culture recon- mends that before
the 18th Of May one important
thing should be done wherever
the pest is abundant and destroys
ing the wheat. Many fields are
so heavily infested that the wheat
is already hopeless SO far as
grain is concerned. In those
cases the important thing to cons
slider is the complete destruction
Of the crop of young bugs.
Those fields Of wheat which are
entirely ruined should be used
for pasture or hay and then plow--
ed under as deeply as possible
and worked down thoroughly.
This will barry most of the eggs
and young so deeply they cam
not get out and those which do
will find no food and will sooR
: die. II a crop is to be planted.
, sowpeas or soybeans are best for
, the bugs will not attack these
, crops. Corn should not be plant~
a ed until the bugs are gone. In
> most cases this will be too late
for a good corn crop.
If,there is q good stand Of
clover in the wheat, in place Of
plowing under, NOW the wheat
as close as possible for hay.
i This will deprive the young bugs
I Of food and II they are not per-
: mitted to reach other green crops
/ they will starve. II necessary =
y ditch or log barrier can be used
d to check them.
n 1t is not necessary to cut oa
plow under wheat which will givu
: a partial crop OF grain. The
9 bugs in such fields can be des.
troyed when the wheat is cut, IL
# barriers are used properly.

Scours in Calves.

A farmer in Southern Missouri
recently wrote to the College OF
Agriculture saying, 81 am hav-
ing trouble with my calves. /
am raising them by hand. They
scour all the time and | am afraid
| am going to loose some Of them
what can ! do for scoursp"
J. G. Watson, assistant prof.
fessor Of dairy husbandry made
the following reply:
"This disease is the result of
a deranged digestive system.
Keep animals only in q warm,
clean, well ventilated pens. Feed
calves regularly, giving the milk
in clean pals. Always remove
the foam from the separated milk.
Grain rations should be fed dry
and Immediately after the milk.
This will prevent ear sucking, a
custom among calves which often
results in bloat and scours,
caused by taking air into the
stomach.
The following remedies may be
used. Eggs alone or mixed with
flour; or a teaspoonful to table,
spoonful OF dried blood to a feed
of milk; or one-half ounce of
formalin in 10 1-2 ounces OF
water as a stock ISOLATION and
feeding teaspoonful of the solu-
| tion to each pint of milk fed. A
mixture Of equal parts salol and
and bizmuth subnitrate may be
given in connection with and
proceeding the formalin treatment
by placing one fourth of tea
spoonful Of this powder well back
on the calf's tongue previous to
feeding the milk containing the
formakn. Complete directions
for raising calves ON skin milk
are given in Missouri Agricultu.
