a PROSPEROUS COUNTY.

An estimate made by y local man
shows that Tazewell county will spend
for automobiles this year an amount
equal to this years net profit from
the sale of cattle The net profit is
variously estimated from 100000 up.
The outlay for automobiles is said To
have reached the huge sum this wear
of over $l50,OO0, and cars are still
being sold here every week.
Whether this state of affairs will be
harmful to the county or not is oucs-
ton that time will tell. A large ma
Jority of the owners of cars in the
county are people of wealth who can
afford such luXuries-few people have
bought cars that could not afford
them.
1t is said that this state of affairs
is not general in the county. MANY
people go auto-mad and mortgage
their homes and make other sacrifices
IN order to become the owner of an
automobile. Whenever the common
people lose their heads and plunge in
to debt for such unnecessary luxur-
les 1t will be time to call halt. The
effect of such reckless waste of money
VIII be felt largely by the trades peo-
pie, the merchants, particularly. But
Iazewell county is doing nothing of
the kind. What is paltry hundred or
two hundred thousand to county as
prosperous and rich as we are? With
an enormous crop of wheat and corn,
selling at high price, Tazewell will
have to plunge heavily to get below
the ford.

NO COMPROMISE LEGISLATION

Mr.. Il. II. Witten, Republican candi-
date for the legislature from TaZewell

he will favor strenuous legislation i'm

forcing the prohibition laws of Viz
ginia. He favors laws that will con-
ciusively meet the demands of the
people rs expressed i'm the statewide
prohibition election Il year ago. Mr..
Witten can go to Richmond. if elected.
with instructions from his constitu-
ents to assist in placing upon the sta
tute books legislation that will make
the State dry, not in name, but in
fact. Powerful influences are at work
to nullify the wishes of the people, and
it were better that no prohibition cleo
ton were ever held il the legislative
committees, which will have the fran
ing of the laws in charge. suggest
legislation similar to the laws of
Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia.
and other States where prohibition
has become the joke of the South.
Laws are wanted in Virginia that
mean something, and officers to en-
force them who are far removed from
the peanut politician class. The thirty
odd thousand majority in Virginia for
prohibition was so overwhelming that
compromise legislation will not be
tolerated, and those Virginia solons
who permit themselves to be hood
wlnked into supporting anything but
straight prohibitory measures had
better keep their weather eye on the
folks back home"

Little Talks on Thrift.
BY S. w. Strans.

~ -. w. olIluS.
Soon our children will be returning
to their schools for another year.
Train up child in the way he
should co." says the old proverb, land
when he is old, he will not depart
from it."
Why is it that parents so seldom ap-
ply this saying to Thrift" They trv
to tram their children in the WAYS Of
morality, but not in the ways of thrift.
Two men met on the street car in
western city one morning recently,
ana one asked the other how he in
tended to give his boy start in life.
The father answered that he and
the boys mother were going to see
that their son received an education.
that his health remained good. that
he attended church and made the prop
CT kind of friends.
But" he was asked, chow are YOU
gong to teach your boy thrift and
the value OF money!"
The father had given the subject
no thought, but said that with the
equipment the boy would have as n
result OF his education and good as
aoclations, he ought 10 be successful.
ana that he himself was carrying life
| Insurance.
HIS friend approved. "But," he said.
what practical lessons in thrift are
you giving him, so that he, in turn.
VIII be able to take care of a family i?
no" are you teaching him the value
OF money? Above everything else
teach him early the benefits to be de-
rived from saving and from earning
money hinsclf. He will thank YOU for
IT soiac day"
| The father was imnraccod L, A.
lcca and agreed To do as his friend
suggested.
however, not all fathers have such
ioresighted friends. Thus, teaching
children thrift is one essential thing
IN our education that should be taken
up IN our schools.
The lessons Of thrift, like other les
sons, are best learned when vounp
when the mind is receptive. The Ger,
mans understand this, and out of their
necessity at the present time, they are
/ teachlhg the children in their schools
now to cope with the necessity of the
future. They are bling taught scien-
tiilcally how and what tn eat; to eat
meat substitutes which are easier tn
get ana cheaper; to masticate the food
thoroughly, because when one che,ys
1000 thoroughly, less is reuired; not
10 cat between meals and in every
way to practice thrift. The other com,
tries at war are doing much the same
thing VIC ''''iie
Thrift is 4 necessity in times of war
which only goes to show its advantage
IN times of peace. But, above all things
else, let us remember that if we would
nave the nation of tomorrow thrifty

like all other big changes, must come
slowly.

INST Equal Suffrage-they are age
OLD and the same reasons were adj
vanced years ago when woman sought
Tor the right to own her own prop
erty. History tells us that there was
a time when women fought for their
iiVes.men argued that woman had no
soul. Later there was Il fight for the
privilege of owning property-"Of
COURSE" they said, "if women owned
property 'twould cause disturbance
IN the home" Man would have less
respect for woman if she did, etc.
Arguments at which any intelligent
person would sneer today and vet
these are the reasons why woman
should not have the Parliamentary
vote. Not long since, woman fought.
Tor higher education. Today woman
IS admitted to the higher institutions
OF learning; today woman is proving
to the world that she is equal to the
evcr-incrcasing demands of life. She
can, if fortunately the chance be hers,

515 James Street.
Middle aged women about to expert
ence that dreaded change of life, should
profit by the experience of thousands
of noble women who have gone through
the same period with little or no pain,
misery or discomfort.
DR.. Pierce's Favoritc Prescription Is
and has been for nearly so years just
the medicine. 1t is not secret pre-
scription, for its ingredients are print
ed on the wrapper; it's a temperance
medicine, Il glyceric extract from roots.
Not only does it build up the entire
system and make it strong and vigor-
Gus enough to withstand the organic
disturbances, but it has quieting eff
feet upon the feminine organism.
Every woman should be careful that
the liver is active and the poisons are
not allowed to clog the system-get rid
of these poisons by taking Il vegetable
laxative occasionally-such as DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They do not
crime and will not harm the system
