Why DR.. English Came to Tazewell.

The answer to "why DR.. English
came to Virginia" is found-there is
no reason to doubt, in his attempt to
survey the famous 100000 acre tract of
"wild" land in Logan.
For conjectural reason DIR. En-
glish failed to make the now CONVEX
gent lines so miles apart, precisely
"come" on the same tree.
A surveyor of later years learned
how to do this, was we'll paid for it,
and so started years of costly and use
less litigation.
The end of the suit was the defeat
of the claimants. Their sole compen-
sation is that their names are monu-
mentally perpetuated in the history OF
the court records.
After this, DIR. English dropped the
tripod, forgot he was a lawyer and
devoted his time to. the practice OF
medicine-without great pecuniary
gain.
DIR. English's stay in Logan occurred
at time of protracted and acute eco
nomic depression.
The United States was struggling
with financial system so crude, 81
grossly inadequate, that concerted
enterprises were even impossible
chimerical.
No great scheme, however base,
on sound appreciation of future need

DRINK SIX CANALS
IN U.S.IN ONE YEAR
Not in Water, Mind You, But
Value in Cost Of Our Big
Ditch-Compared With Ex-
penses of Government.

- An extract from VIM. j. Bryan's
Philadelphia speech:
The cost of tho Panama canal, the
most gigantic engineering feat in
history, was about 100000, 900. II
rs not appalling to think that we
spend for drink every year some
thing like six times the cost of the
Panama canal?
Il have endeavored to secure an
accurate estimate of the amount of
money spent on education in this
country, and the figure given me is
Sfoo,o0O,o0O. This pays all the teach
ers who instruct the children from
the Kindergarten to the university
in this land of more than 90. 600 000
1t provides salaries for the great in
tellectual army whose inestimablc
service on figures can describe. If
we were to cease these expenditures,
inns nation, so conspicuous i'm all
thnt contributes to the civilization
of the world, would lapse into bar
bnrism., And yet, we spend for drink
more than three times as much ms
we spend for education.
Ihe annual appropriations of the
ieuernl government are n little less
than ,250,000,000. This sum in
cimdes the salaries Of all the public
oiiiclnls from the president down. II
includes the salaries and expenses
OF our ambassadors and our minis
ters through whom we maintain diplo-
mntic relations with the entire world;
IL covers the cost of our consular ser.
vice which looks after our commerce
IN foreign lands. 1t includes expenses
OF the treasury, which handles our
money, collects our taxes, and SUPER
Vises the banking system of the ma
tion. IL covers the expense of the
army and navy.
ut provides means for enforcing
the laws of the United States. IL i'm.

Tie Meaning and Application of the
New Primary Provision.

After further examination of the
new primary law, (or rather amend.
ment to the law already existing)
passed by the last legislature, the
meaning and application is about as
follows:
1t applies only to those who seek
nomination for office in the primary
1t does not apply to any who choose
to run as independent.
Candidates who go before, or sub
init their claims to, the August pri-
mary, must accompany their declara-
tion of candidacy by a petition sign
ed by not less than fifty voters, pc
titioning the candidate to run, also
petitioning the authorities to put his
name on the ballot.
The petition must be acknowledged
before proper officer, and the sig
natures of the petitioners witnessed.
The witnessing is permitted to be
done by one party who may know and
be able to identify the handwriting
of those who signd.
The object? Why, to choke off
the fellows whom everybody but them
selves know can never be elected. This
does not mean that any and every
man who wishes may not become a
candidate for election, but applies
only to those who come before the
Democratic primary asking for NOM
ination, and applies, of course, to
Democrats only.
AS we understand it, the Republican
nominations will be made by coun-
ty convention.

Campaign in the Sunday Schools
1000 New Members.

The Executive Committee of the
County Sunday School Association
proposes that an effort be made be-
tween April the first and the annual
meeting of the Association in June
to add one thousand new members to
/ the Sunday Schools of the county. 1t
can be done. 1t should be done. There
are about 55 schools in the county
This would give an average of only
about 20 new members to each school.
Twice this number can be found in
every community not attending any
school. The Superintendents must take
the lead and organize invention com
mittees in every class in school, In
this number of 1000 new members
may be included members secured for
the Cradle Role and Home Depart
ments, and there should be no Difficult
ty whatever in securing the number if
the Superintendent is live man, and
on to his job. If he is mutt or a
dead head his school will show little
growth. The Superintendent of the
county are, as n class, live men, and
we can secure the 1000 new members
and more if we go at it. Go after the
young people. Have them enroll in
the regular school classes. Go after
the DaDleS, ana those too young to
go to Sunday School. Get their names
on the Cradle Roll. Go after the old
people and mothers who cannot or
will not attend. Get them on the
Home Department Roll. Keep an ac-
curate list, and "show up" mt the an
nual meeting in June. 1.-THE Salvation

THE dope" FIENDS: WHAT
SHALL BE DONE WITH THEM?

The passage of the HARRISON anti
narcotic act threw bomb in the camp
of the habitues and the doctors and
druggists as well, all over the state.
The law should have been passed ten
years ago, or perhaps twenty-five
years ago, if at all. One result of the
passage of the law has been to bring
to light the surprisingly-the aston
lshingly, large number of people, of
all walks of life, who have become ad-
dicted to the drug habit. The liquor
habit, in many communities, is negli-
gible in comparison. The formation of
the habit was due to the custom of
physicians, in most cases, years ago,
when there were no restrictions upon
its sale, and physicians prescribed it
freely for all sorts Of pain. 1t is
said that some physicians, years ago,
carried opium pills and morphine tab
lets in their saddle bags, and passed
them put to any and all persons who
had headache, neuralgia or rheuma-
tism, or any other acute pain, with
out much thought, perhaps, as to the
final effects. A veritable harvest of
dope fiends is the result. Some few
years ago laws were passed restrict
ing the sale, making it necessary to
have prescription from physic-
Jan before the habit forming drug
could be sold. The law did not include
such drugs as laudanum, paregoric,
codine and perhaps other patent"
medicines, and hence was ineffective
in stamping out or even reducing the
use of narcotics. When shut off from
one drug something else answering
the same purpose, not prohibited,
would be used.
The Horriccon mute tI,o ia ~
tight and close on all these drugs, and
both physicians and druggists are in
hibited, except under the most rigid
requirements, from dispensing the
drug. prominent Lynchburg ply
sician was given the minimum fine of
$4,000 the other day for purely
technical violation of one provision of
the law which he had overlooked. And
so, physicians and druggists have
"shut down" on number of people
who have been using the drug for
years and years. These people, not
patients" of the physicians, too poor
to pay for prescriptions and buy the
drug anyway, have been placed sud-
denly in a condition which entails un-
told suffering, suffering unbearable.
Physicians declare that these unfor-
tunates cannot live without the drug.
They VIII beg to get 1T, steal 1t, get
it in some way is possible, and if i'm
possible, cannot endure the suffering
produced by being deprived of it en-
tirely. They can be cured of the hab-
it by treatment which gradually re-
duces the allowance, but this treat
ment cannot be given unless the pa
tient can be confined to some hospit-
al, where they are constantly under
the eye and care of physician. What
shall be done? Richmond has pro-
vided place and physician, and
numbers are being treated and cured
