Two Hundred and Fifty Stories.

And every one good one. They
are entertaining, but that is not all
you can say about them. You know
there is hardly periodical published
that is not full of time-wasting stor-
les, but not single story in the
Youths Companion is time waster.
Take the stories of G.. A. Stephens.
1t would be hard to pick out one
from which you cannot learn some
thing useful and yet entertaining.
Some of the Companion stories re-
fresh your knowledge of geography;
some tell you the mysteries of chem
istry; some reveal the secrets of for
estry and of general farming. They
cover wide range. They are chosen
with an eye to the possible likings of
every member of the Companion fam
ily-stories of vigorous action and
stirring adventure for boys, stories of
college life and domestic vicissitudes
for girls, stories that range all the
way from sheer drollery to deep SER
iousness for men and women. There
are not tories quite like those in The
Companion, and you get $50 of them,
and lot besides, for $500.
If you are not familiar with the
Companion as it is today, let us send

BLUEFIELD MAN FOR GOV
ERNOR.
lBlueiield TELEGRAPH. j


For the first time Bluefielder has
offered for the nomination for gov
ernor of the State, the announcement
being made by Senator David E.
French, who for many years has been
one of the leaders of the Democracy
in this section, and who is the only
Democratic Ex-senator from this dis
trict who is young enough to be in
active life. Senator French is a run
ner, as his race for the State SEN
ate showed, and he is an active and
enthusiastic campaigner, and will
give candidates Cory Hogg and John
j. Caldwell tussle that they will
remember for some time to come. The
southern section of West Virginia is
interested in this contest, and the CITY
OF Bluetield especially, where sena-
tor French is one of the most public
spirited citizens. While we differ with
him in politics, and will do everything
reasonable to defeat him if he is NOM
mated, yet if West Virginia is-to have
Democratic governor Senator
French measures up to every require
ment.

POCAHONTAS DRY MAY IST.

The Witten- Shumate bill was pass
ed on Tuesday night, which wipes
out the liquor business in Pocahontas
after May 1 next, when the present
license expire, that is, provided the
bill is approved by the Governor, and
his signature is affixed, of which there
is little or no doubt.
For the first time in many years
Tazewell county will be without Ii
censcd saloon. The liquor business
has taken heavy toll in many ways in
this county. Fortunes have been made
in the business at the expense Of the
comfort and well being of thousands
of women and children. Surely Meth
er the liquor dealers nor the devil
have any right to complain now. They
have had Il long lease, and the only
trouble to be experienced in the en-
forcement of the prohibition law will
be the effects Of the influences which
the saloons have eXerted.
The passage of the Witten- Shumate
bill is source of rejoicing in this sec
ton.

SHOULD WE DECLARE WAR ON
GERMANY, WHAT THEN?

The question is often asked, that in
case of break between the United
States and Germany and declaration
of war, what would happen-what
would or could we do? Some think
we could do but little. The Balti-
more Sun gives the opinions and state
ments of number Of leading Ger
men Statesmen as to some of the dis
advantages to Germany which would
follow, they think, declaration Of
war.
First, the United States could con-
fiscate the German ships now intern
ed in American harbors, valued at
about $25O,OOO,OOO, giving us fine
merchant fleet.
Second, The United States would
be free to loan the allies three or four
billion dollars.
Third, we could easily double the
quantity of war supplies we are now
furnishing.
Fourth, declaration of war on
the part of the United States might
influence Greece and Roumania and
other neutral countries against Ger
many.

tribute to the strength of the allies

BUSTLE AND STIR.

Why do men lay more stress upon
feeling in regard to pardon than
upon faith?
Simply because they agree to be
guided more by the testimonies and
emotions of men than by the word of
God. In fact, it is strange how little
we depned upon the word of God for
our assurance of pardon.
To secure pardon man must surely
repent, and this repentance takes
place in the heart of the sinner, and
is manifest in his life. And while
there may be great deal of feeling
in repentance, this feeling may be an
assurance of repentance, but it cam
not be an assurance of pardon, since
pardon does not take place in the
lsinner's heart, but in the heart of
God.
And when God promises the sinner
pardon on specific terms, the man who
has faith in God believes himself par
doned as soon as he has complied with
those terms.
And when God promises the sinner
pardon on spccifis terms, the man who
has faith in God believes himself
pardoned as soon as he complies with
those terms.
Then faith is mans best assurance
and good feeling follows as a result
Iof this assurance The whole thing
is written and man should read it out
instead of trying to guess it out.

WINSTON-SALEM LEADS IN TO.
BACCO OUTPUT.

| The following are extracts from an
address delivered by Col. A. d. Watts,
Collector of Interla Revenue of the
Fifth District of North Carolina, at a
smoker given by the Twin City Club,
Winston-Salem, February 4th, 1916:
Some Comparisons.
"Winston-Salem is supplying one
fourth of all the chewing and smoinp
tobacco consumed in the United States
besides exporting vast quantities to
foreign lands. This statement is TAX
en- from the report of the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue for first
quarter of the present year, and from
private advices from Washington, as
to the second quarter, which ended
December 31st last
Your city is making one seventh
of all tobacco products chewing and
smoking tobacco, ciagrs and cigar
cites and manufactured in the
United States. Your manufacturers
are paying on an average about $751;
600 day revenue taxes to the gov
eminent and the amount is increas-
ing from month to month. When your
government building, much the hand
soonest in the State, was completed
last July at cost of $250,000 your
newspapers made the statement that
the taxes paid in your city to Uncle
Sam for the first eight days of it's oc-
cupancy would pay for it. Since Sep
TENDER, it has taken only a fraction
over seven days collections here to
equal its cost. So far this week Mr..
Crawford has taken in $206,4285O. 1
predict that before 1916 shall have
ended your average weekly payments
to the government on tobacco will
more than pay for this magnificent
building, leaving the collections for
the other fifty-one weeks as clear
profit to the government.
Winston Salem is shipping on an
average each day to all parts of this
country and to foreign lands at least
S15O,000 of tobacco products.
"In conclusion, Winston Salem man.
ufactures more tobacco, all tobacco
products are taken into this statement
than any other city on earth, little or
big. Industrially, she is easily first
in North Carolina, population consid-
cred, first in America and / believe in
the world; socially, never failing de-
light to her friends"

out an army they fought the greatest
of existing world empires that they
might realize this vision. A third of
a century later, without navy they
fought the greatest navy in the world
that they might win for their ma

establish for all time on this CONT
nent the inalienablc rights of lib

third of a century later they fought
to emancipate an oppressed neighbor,
and, victory won, gave back Cuba to
the Cubans, sent an army CT school
masters to educate for liberty the
Filipinos, asked no far indemnity from
their vanquished enemy, but paid him
literally for his property. Meanwhile
they offered land freely to any farm
or who would live upon and cultivate
it, opened to foreign immigrants the
door of industrial opportunity, shared
with them political equality, and pro-
vided by universal taxation for uni
versal education.

NOTHING NEW UNDER THE
SUM-"

Solomon, the wise said it, but-there
is at least on "new" thing we can
name right now. 1t is this day,
March 7th, 1916-this blessed day.
1t never was seen before, and its ex-
act reproduction will never recur.
Oh, yes; there have been other days
and will be other days still, but never
another just like this one Each day
that comes is new day. The sun
rises each morning upon n new day
and the beginning of new life and
new ideals and new history max
ing, new sorrow, new joys and new
responsibilities.
Burdette said: "There are two days
l take no account of, one, yesterday,
and the other is tomorrow-doy; one
is past, the other may never come"
Why bring the burdens of yesterday
over into today and project them into
prospective and imaginary tomor-
row-our cares, worries and sins?
Today is the beginning of a new life
or may be. Today may be the opening
era of new existence. What pity
all Of us do not think of this! In
the long list of "care encountered
men" on the highway of life, scarce
ly one Of them but that is ladened
with some burden of yesterday or
fear of tomorrow. 81 am living" said
a good man, zone day at time"
Some people live whole eternitics at
q time. Who first used the express
sion, forget it?" Perhaps it was the
Apostle who said that he was "for-
getting the things are behind" But
we are not so thoughtful. The fact
that we did not do our best on yes
terday does not mean that we may
not do our best today. "Forget it."
The sins, the sorrows, short comings
of yesterday should go along with
yesterday into that great oblivious
sepuichre where all former days lie
buried. We may not change the
doings of yesterday any more than
we can change our stature, but we
can leave them out of the program
of today. We need not repeat them
on tomorrow should tomorrow come.
When the Bible said, "take no thought
of the morrow" it meant that the to-
morrow would bring its own new
things to be taken care Of There is
no need to carry the burdens of life"
all the way, but only the burdens of
one day. The pilgrim at the close of
his last day, who has lived wisely,
will have only the burden of that day
to shake off. The reason some futures
look dark is because the shadows of
the past are thrown on the screen
the decisions and allurements of some
mirage haunted desert. Today is ours.
Yesterday is beyond recall. Tomor-
row is only a hope. Anything "new
under the SUM-" Yes, today and
when it passes let it carry with it no
regrets, and if it Should. as perhaps
it will, let it have them for its own,
and make today, in reality n "new
day" in your life, and write new
page in your life's history-not a
repetition of the yesterdays that are
gone.
