The streets of this town are in bad
shape and becoming more so every
day. This is fact known to eyerv-
body who has eyes. Main street is in
a worse condition than it has been in
years. Tazewell avenue and other
streets leading out Of town, are in \
wretched shape, and will cost twice as
much to mend now as they would
have cost last year. The only real
good streets in town are the pieces
recently built, streets that wagon
or vehicle seldom ever passes over.
Some of the new roads in the county
are beginning to need attention. Peo-
pie coming to town say that in many
places there are already ruts and
mudholes in the roads. To spend half
million dollars on roads and more
and leave TEN to be cut and worn out
by narrow tired vehicles. and make no
provision for keeping them up. is a
folly that school boys should not be
guilty of.

ALL HAIL, WEST VIRGINIA.

The little state of West Virginia has
surprised and astonished the whole
country, and won new and enviable
standing in the galaxy of states.
First, by voting almost solidly for
statewide prohibition. A state of all
others, which seemed most completely
under the thumb of the liquor business
and second, by enforcing the law,
both in the letter and spirit. All hail
to the little mountain state whose
moral backbone is as innexiblc and
unyielding as is her rock-ribbed hills.

want to, and | don't care n d.
who knows it."
Editor Clinch Valley News:
heard young man, married
man with several young children, make
the above remark the other day on
the street in conversation with several
of his associates. He was under the
influence of about two big drinks at
the time.
Now, that young man is fool. He
thinks he is very wise fellow, but he
isn't. He thinks he can continue to
take drink when he "wants to-" and
stop it when he wants to. He thinks
his drinking is not injuring him in
any manner, but it is. Last year one
big drink was all he could stand.
Now it requires two and perhaps three
to put him in good shape. After lit
tie he can swallow a quart during the
day and keep on his feet. An incrcas-
ing quantity will be necessary each
succeeding year. He is wasting his
money and his time. He is allowing
the devil to make q fool of him. The
first attack of fever or pneumonia he
has will find him with n weakened
heart and disordered stomach, and
there will be nine chances against
hin to one in his favor of recovery.
and he may go down to the drunkard's
hell, for the Bible says, mo drunkard
shall enter the kingdom fHeaven."
Will he stop drinking after n while?
He thinks so, and is honest in his
opinion, but he is not likely to stop.
A thirst and taste for liquor has be-
come as natural as his desire for
food. He is fool and the devil knows
it, and 'laughs in his sleeve" at his
victim. After while he will mock
him to his face and defy him to quit.
This young fellow is pretty far on
the road now. He has reached the
point where he doesn't care who
know it." He has lost sense of
shame. AT first he tried to and did,
hide it from his family and the public.
He was ashamed. Now he "dont care
a d who knows it," He is pretty
far gone already. Sin is worse when it
becomes shameless. And so, every
body knows that he drinks and he don't
care if they do. They smell it on his
breath, see it in his eyes and face, and
hear it in his talk, and see it in his
unsteady walk. Oh yes, everybody
knows it and talks about and pities
his wife. She knows it, of course.
She knew he drank when she married
him. She thinks now that perhaps
she made a mistake, as she faces the
possibility Of being drunkard's wife
and the mother of children of a drunk
ard, for the children will surely he

Tazewell and the Segregation Bill

statement, itemized, of the losses
and gains to the towns and counties
OF the State resulting from the adop-
ton of the segregation tax bill, has
been issued. Afr charging up against
the towns and counties all receipts os
taxes from all sources, at 25c on the
500 valuation, and deducting what
part of these taxes would 90 to the
State, the account shows, in the case
Of Tazewell county, gain to the
county of $749.34.
In the calculation there is n charge
to the county of $14,241.00 tax on
Rolling stock of the railroads, which
the county has never received, the
matter being still in the courts, and
of course, in case the county receives
this tax this $l4,2l1.0O would be n
clear gain. Besides, this law, should

however, there shall be continued for

be applied to the support of the pub

visions of the Constitution all insur-
ance, taxes, and licenses on insurance

corporations operating railroads by
steam be, and the same are hereby
segregated and made subject to State
taxation only.
The value of the real and personal
properties mentioned in this act shall
be ascertained and determined and
