SCHEDULE READY
FOR ATHLETIC MEET
Arrangements Made For Base.
Ball Games Between Tazewell
and Other Schools of the
Two Virginias.

c. P. Caldwell, Secretary of the
1nterscholastic Athletic Association.
has arranged a complete schedule for
baseball, copy of which was mailed
to Prof. Gollehon, of the Tazewell
High School,.
In submitting the schedule, Prof.
Caldwell says, among other things:
In making this schedule, the con-
slant aim has been to give each team
as many days at home as away, and to
arrange all trips that expenses may
be cut down to the minimum, as each
team pays its own way while on the
road and enjoys flu II benefit of the
gate receipts while at home.
"All the schools found on this sched-
ule are members of the Association
and all are bound bv the Constitution
to have bona fide school teams repre-
sent them in all games played. The
games arranged with the Concord
Normal, according to the ruling of the
Association, will not count in the race
for the high school championship.
Let me urge upon every school to
put forth every effort possible to make
TINS, the first season successful one
which will put high school athletics of
higher plain of efficiency. How? Be
gin now, organize your team if you
havn't done so and don't quit until
May 18th, when you will have either
won or lost. If possible have indoor
practice during this unfavorable
weather, and when the Jump calls
play Ball" about the eighth or ninth
of April your team will be on the
field with plenty of pep and deter
mination to win"
The following is the schedule for
Tazewell High School:
Tazewell VS..
Matoaka at Tazewell, April 10.
Beaver at Tazewell, April 16.
Graham at Tazewell, April II.

Corn Ready BY April First

Get your corn plot in good condi-
tion for planting the seed corn fur
nished by the Tazewell Fair Associa-
ton. We expected to have this ready
for distribution by April 1st, but our
hunt for the best corn obtainable has
taken more time than we thought and
we will not have it before April 13,
horse day, then those desiring it can
get specimen of a quart of either
the white or yellow corn, enough to
plant one-eighth acre. Don't fail TO
take advantage of this opportunity
to get pure-bred seed corn for gen
eral planting next year. All that
we expect is that you grow this corn
far enough away from other corn to
prevent mixing and bring the best ten
years to the Fair next Fall.

ber of cards is sold in the Tazewell
district the young lady having the
largest number of cards to her credit

ton, ETC., in the school. This schol-
arship is to be given to some young
lady in the bounds of the district. In

On a Powder Magazine.
(RoanokeTimes.l

\
Captain Thierechens, of the Ger
man cruiser Prinz Eitel Frederick,
now undergoing repairs at Newport
News denies that he has received let
ters threatening either himself or his
ship. The doughty captain confesses
that he has received a mass of letters
but that they are all of congratulate
ry and courteous tone. No one has
carried any threat either covert or
open.
OF the many million men on the
globe we would select Captain THE
'richens as the one not to receive q
threatening letter from anybody. If
the writer has any sympathy in the
world his letter must be sympathetic.
Captain Thierichens faces about the
same amount of danger that a work.
man in gun-powder factory faces
when he lights his pipe while at work.
The chances are about one hundred to
one with no takers even at those
odds, that as soon as he puts out
from the Virginia capes his ship will
be blown clear of the water by the
waiting fleet of British and French
warships.
With this fact in view, and in view

C. E. Harman Didn't Write 1t, Either
North Tazewell, Va. Mar. is.

- North Tazeweil, Va. Mar Is.
Editor the News:-On returning
here to the farm, my attention was
called to an article published in your
paper in the issue OF Feb. 26th, 1915,
in regard to communication signed
by a Mr.. Harman, concerning the
Healing Springs School. l want to
state emphatically that did not write
the article, but since my attention
was called to it / have made some
inquiry and Investigations and from
what | could learn there was no ex-
cuse or cause whatever for this COM
munication, it is regrettable that it
becomes necessary for me to defend
Healing Springs School and its teach
ers in the public press against such
petty and unfounded charges as those
sent your paper. Personally, would
not regard this refutation as neces-
sary, but there are persons in whose
minds such articles would be calculat-
ed to do the teachers, the school and
the community an injustice, and |
trust that you will do the teachers
and the patrons of the Healing Spring
School the simple justice of publish
ing this letter, and give to it the same
prominence as that given to the ar
ticle alluded to. am.
Yours truly,
G. E. HARTMAN.

MARRIAGES SHOW DECREASE
Eugene Law Is Blamed for the FALL
Log off - Many Common
Law Marriages.

Madison.-Since several members or
the legislature announced their inten-
ton of introducing bills repeating the
eugenie marriage law several investi-
gators have been busy looking up sta
tistics on this subject.
With one exception all reports mus
far received show a big loss in the
number of marriages performed in the
state in 1914 They have also proved
that never before have there been as
many common law marriage contracts
filed with county clerks as during the
last year.
Some investigators have even gone
so far as to inquire into the number Of
marriages performed for Wisconsin
couples across the states borders, and
claim to have figures that will prove
astounding. They do not claim there
has been willful violation of the law,
but suggest rather that many couples
have started on their honeymoon and
did not marry until after crossing the
state line One specific case cited was
in La Crosse county, where there was
a big decrease in marriages, while in
Winona county, Mimi, there was a
marked gain.
A few figures received by the regis
tar of vital statistics in the Office of
the state board of health are available
and show that, with the exception of
Lincoln county there was great de-
crease in the number of marriage IL
cenAes issued the first year the eugen-
les law was in effect
