Pocahontas Policeman Dies suddenl,

Pocahontas, Dec. 21.-Sam T.. Ma
com, who, until recently served on the
poiice force of the town of Pocahon-
ta, passed away Monday morning
about o'clock, at his home here.
Several months ago his health began
to fail, and he retired from active SER
vice on the force. For II time his
condition was thought to be serious,
but he seemed to rally, and of late
his friends were hopeful of his ulti-
mate recovery. He had been spend
ing sometime in the Stump-Alexan-
der hospital, but was taken from that
place to his home few davs apo.
Yesterday morning his wife arranged
his chair for him, and went down
stairs to prepare breakfast. with the
expectation of returning shortly to
see how he was getting on. A board
er came down the steps and reported
that he was sleeping, which aroused
the suspicious of the wife, and an
investigation disclosed that he had
uied very suddenly of heart failure.
lie was married about twenty-five
years ago to Miss Matilda Jones. who
survives. He leaves, besides the wild
ow, four children, Edward and Har-
ry and Misses Margie and Arlie. For
some time past he had been making
preparations for the future, and, as
he stated it, had placed himself in
the Lords hands. He united with the
Baptist church during the summe-
and Rev. w. r. Hickman, pastor of
that church, conducted the funeral
services today at the home at 10
O'Clock. The reamins were taken to
Bluestone Junction yesterday for in
terment, the funeral party getting of
at Bailey station, and going over from
there. The deceased was born in
Tazewell county. His mother pre-.
ceded him to the grave about two
years ago.

MObilizing a Good Army.
(Bluefield Telepronb

The big business revival a tGarv.
which requires the services of five
hundred additional men, and which
indicates that a prosperous season is
ahead of us in the coal business. is
being discussed by business and coal
men who generally regard it as a
most gratifying indication. Only one
note of doleful key has been heard,
and that is that the United States
people are trying to recruit five hun
dred men in this locality. 1t is said
that nearly all of the mines are short
of men, and to draw the extra men re-
quired at Gary from the present fore
es would cripple them and the output
of the field as a whole would not be
increased. This may be true, and it
is hoped that enough men can be
had from other sections to take the
places of those who may leave other
collleries to go to Gary. However,
the fact that five hundred men are
needed at any one point in the field
is great advertisement to the sec
tion and will draw men here. Last
month the output was an increase ov-
er the preceding months and when
the big force at Gary gets into action
there will be something worth while
to talk about in the coal shipping line.

TELEPHONE OFFICE MODERN IN
EVERY WAY.


General manager Hawlcy, of the
Bluctcld office of the Blucliel Tclc-
phone Company, was in town the
ilrst of the week assisting Sam Lnr.
inner. local manager, install n new
switchboard in the Office here. The
board is much larger than any vet
IN use here, being capable of holding
200 telephone drops" This boarl
will take care of the business in these
parts for long time to come is the
belief of the telephone people.
The new board is really double
board, one side taking care of all the
local work, consisting now OF about
l2b calls or drops. The other side
takes all the lon gdistance and toll
lines in the county, numbering now
something 80 or 40 calls, or lines.
In the forenoon two operators are
necessary to take care Of the bust
ness, one on the local side, the other
on the toll side of the board. The
business here is growing all the time.
and the company is leaving nothing
undonc to facilitate the transmission
OF messages, and TO serve their pat
rons. Perhaps there are few small
exchanges better equipped than the
one in this town.
An interesting little instrument in
stalled in the central Office here is
Calcaulagraph, n nice little ma
chine operated by sort of clock
arrangement, which records distinct
ly and plainly the length of time the
long distance line is being used.
When n customer begins to talk
over the toll line the little machine
is set in motion, and at the close of
the conversation shows in plain char
acters the length of time the line
was used. This slip, with the custom
er's name, is passed to tho book-kcep-
er, and charged up. If the customer
kicks when the bill is presented, and
he usually does, the machine record
is drawn on him, and he is politely
asked to kick Tor cuss) the machine.
1t is time saver, and saves trouble,
too.
The News man found "Miss Sallie."
whom everybody knows, handling the
wires or plugs, more properly speak,
ing, of the new switchboard, and she
was kept busy-as busy as bee
too busy to talk to the reporter very
much. She says that the operators
get much criticism which they do not
deserve, just as newspaper men, and
all others who serve the public. 1--WE
do our best" she said, "but if we
chance to make mistake, or fail to
answer a call Immediately, however
busy we may be, there is fuss and
complaint. We are doing our best
TO fulfill our duty" 1t would be a
difficult thing to do now, to persuade
the public that "Miss Sallie" Nc
Clintock, who has been at the board
for long time, is remiss or care
less.
General Foreman Sam Larimcr,
with a force of men, is now con-

which generally results in a SOW eat ing her pigs. With a large litter the SOW will need plenty of feed to make milk. In getting them back on feed one must be guided by judgment of conditions. With small filters, liberal feeding Of sOws, makes the pigs fatten rapidly and thus predisposes them to thumps. Skinned milk with wheat shorts and corn are excellent feed. Where one has good pasture it is de- sirable to turn the SOW out with her litter when they are a couple of weeks old
 If the SOW is to raise two filters a year it is desirable to keep her in good condition so that she can be bred again soon after weaning her first lit ter. Do not make the common mis- take of using young sows each year. Save the tested old sows as they are generally better mothers and raise larger litters

CARE IF BROOD SOW
 RETURNS MOnEPIGS
MEANS DOLLARS AND CENTS TO FARMER'S PuRSE-HEAlTH PIGS AND MORE FOOD FOR THE FAMILY.

It is mistake to fatten brood sows before farrowing time as pigs are likely to be weak and often farrowed dead. The more common mistake IS to allow the SOW to rustic for her. self and farrow in a very thin condt, tion. AS a result, if the litter is os fair size, milk will be pretty scarce. Feed the SOW liberally so that she comes to farrowing time in fast fair round condition, supplying plenty of muscle and tissue building material, and therefore not using corn alone for the ration. Equal parts of corn and wheat shorts, supplemented by one part of tankage to eight or tan parts of corn and shorts mixture, made up in moderately thin slop for 12 hours before feeding should make a good ration.
 few days before farrowing put the SOW in pen by herself and cut down the ration a little and perhaps use little less corn. If the SOW Is young watch her carefully, and if she has tendency to bite the pigs re- move them until they are all farrowed, and then give them back to her watch ing her behavior while doing so. The bed in the farrowing house should be dry and clean, Of fine material and not too deep. It is in the deep beds that pigs get laid on. Wet beds soon chill the pigs, especially if they are born during bad weather.
 As rule the SOW will not care for much food for day or two after far rowing, but once in a while with old sows they will feed very shortly. IT the sow is fairly thin and shows a good appetite do not withhold feed as II may cause a feyerish condition

A Burdened People.

According to a count made in the library of congress recently our federal and state legislature D 1~-ed 65.014 statutes during the five years from 1909 to 1913 inclusive. Even greater than this multiplicity of laws was the vast mass of decisions of courts Of last resort. federal and state. which during the same five years rerched the enormous total of 65, ,376 and now fill $50 volumes.
 And yet ignorance of the law in a thousand volumes does not excuse anyone. In our day statutute making by the rapid fire process, Thomas Jefferson would have found greater reason than eyer for declaring that the country governed best that is governed least. and for ospos, ing multiplicity of laws. Not the least discouraging feature of It all IS that our statesmen of the ultra-progressiye" varieey have counteless new laws still up their sleeves. not few of them revolutionary invasions of the cit z ns rights.
 Ii our laws are legions now. what Is to Is to be expected when In times to come, women ale sent to Legislative bodies by their balloting sisters and en- thuslastlcaIly apply themselves to the faclnating business of bling up the statutes. Their eff forts to make man over and thrust into him a thousand vir- tues by means of the policeman's club, seems to be omniously foreshadowed by Mrs. Plank hurst's confesson that women wants the ballot in order to
 make men chaste." It may be confidently expected that women more than men, will become ad- lcted to the habit of making new laws aimed at every evil or in. conyeience in sight, thus adding enormously to the great mass of statutes which-without preyi. ous discussion and criticism of
