A CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS

There ought to be, and no doubt
will be, strong organization in every
district in the state, following the
Democratic State convention in Roa
noke on June 4th. The convention
will be one of the most harmonious,
enthusiastic and inspiring ever held
in the State. The successful and won
derful administration of President
Wilson has been such as to put new
life and fresh courage into every
Democrat in the State. That this
enthusiasm will spread to the Eight
ing Ninth" goes without saying, and
there will be no lack of available
candidates this year to offer as stan
dard bearers for the invinciblc, UNI
conquerablc host of the district
Among those whose names have
been mentioned as available candi-
dates are j. N. Powell and +. Lee
Trinkle, of Wythc; ii. G. Peters, of
Bristol; John w. Chalkley, of Big
Stone Gap; Chas. w. Bondurant, of
Lee. All of these men are well known
and prominent, and either of them
well qualified to lead the campaign
on the ticket with the incompatible
Wilson the head. There is no good
reason whatever why Bascom Slcmp
should be given life tenure of Of
flee. A Democrat should be elected
in his stead. The fact that he has
carried the district for years is Meth
err an assurance nor reason why he
will continue to do so. The Ninth has
sent Democrat to Congress-scver-

If the President could line up all

men would make good fighters if they

WHAT SOME TEACHERS HAVE
TO CONTEND WITH.
(Communicated.)

There are three distinct classes of
patrons i'm school. Suppose we clas-
sify them. First, we have those who
stand by the teacher; second, those
who are Indifferent, and, third those
who are ready to do anything for the
teacher for Il few months, then turn
and do all they can to ruin her and
her pupils, especially her larger boys,
in every way.
The first class generaiiy 90 more
slowly when the teacher first comes
! into the neighborhood. They are nice
/ and polite, asking her to visit their
homes whenever she feels so inclined.
But there is nothing like, 81 like you
better than any teacher we have
had" or owe are all so in hopes
you will get the place next year"
These are the folks Il teacher knows
| will be her friends as long as she is
in their midst. 1t is the children of
these patrons whom person loves to
teach and watches their progress from
day TO day.
Second: There are not so many who
belong to this class but they never
bother teacher. If their children
come home with something the teach
cr has done they pay no attention
to il. These children are very nice
to teach, but their parents do not
take enough interest in their work.
Third: The ones who belong TO this
class are sometimes very numerous.
For about two months they cannot do
enough for the teacher; then they
become tired, and notes begin to come
with, 81 think you had better whip
-- instead of my boy" or "If
you teach in this or that way my
little girl would learn more" All
at once for some unknown cause, they
take their children from school, Civ
ing number of reasons such as
"rhc teacher whipped my boy when
he had done nothing" or "The large
boys run over my little children"
"Thc teacher is teaching them moth
ing. neither influencing them in the
right way"
Every one should know that almost
any teacher is going TO try to do her
best for each child.
They will say great many things
to njurc Il young woman, also the
boys ut the early adolescent period,
when they can be easily hurt, too bad
to put here.
A young woman has n hard time
teaching sixty children in one room,
who are of all ages and sizes as well
as dispositions, even if all of the
patrons put their shoulders to the
tongue and help pull.
But it is almost more than one
can endure when they try to pull
backwards by saying all they can to
iniurc her and what few faithful pup
lis left to her charge. had rather
person had say thing to injure
me though, than one of those entrust-
ed to my care. If you teach school 4

MOONSHINERS FOLLY AND
OTHER STORIES.

The above is the title of neat vol
umc of 1876 pages, written by Hanni-
bal Albert Compton and published by
RoXburgh Publishing Co., of Boston.
The scene of the story is laid in
Buchanan county, among the log cab
ms and mountain homes of the coun-
ty, and recounts incidents, feuds, mid
night raids of revenue officers, etc,
of other days. The author says: 81
have endeavored to paint mountain life
as it is" and 81 have tried to be
true and impartial" Some interest
attaches to the story from the fact
that number of people, places and
incidents are mentioned familiar not
only TO Tazcwell people now living,
but to other people of this section.
The story is well written, and being
true to life, proves the old adage
again, that truth is stranger than
fiction.
The "stories" added, as the author
says, have no connection with the
main story of the book and in our
Judgment add little to its value, ex-
ccpt to swell the size of the book to
respectable proportions.
Mr.. Compton is young man, the
Youngest son of ii large family, the
father of which is an old fashioned
Baptist minister. The young man
grew up with very poor educational
advantages. but by study and wide
reading, having naturally Il strong
mind, has made himself proficient, and
has promising future.

THE TOLL GATE QUESTION.

A number of Tazewell people are
in favor Of establishing toll gates on
the Macadam roads of the county,
as one of the best and surcst means
of road maintenance. Others are OPP
posed for various reasons one of
which is that the receipts will not
justify after paying the keepers.
Mr.. Charles p. Gose sends us from
Salem leallet gotten out and signed
by ten men, "a Joint Committee
From the Town of Salem and Roanoke
County Branch, Virginia Road Build
ers Association" which published
statement says: "The three toll gates
in Roanoke county average better
t han$l 900 per month after paying
10 per cent commission to the toll
& tee keepers. This means that in the
nineteen months of operation these
three toll gates have paid to Roanoke
county $4,000, and the amount is in
creasing rapidly each month" These
statements are verified, says the com
mittee, by the official records at Sa-
lem. This revenue is sufficient to pay
the interest and principle on thirty
year bond issue of $125,0OO, and leave
a surplus of $500 a year for kcepinp
up the roads.
These facts would seem to Justify
the toll gate experiment as no longer
an experiment in Roanoke county. and
II in Roanoke county, why not in
Tazewell and other counties? We
could not expect perhaps as large n
revenue here as the Roanoke toll
gates collect as travel of all kinds
there is larger than it is here. But
proportionately these seems to be NO
reason why ours, if established
should not do as we'll.
