WOMEN VOLUNTEERS
FROM VIRGINIA

In stress and trouble the women of
n nation are always to be counted
upon. In this country few of our
women escape the weakening troubles
peculiar to their sex.
Lynchburg, Ya.-'I am glad to
speak OF DIR. Pierce's remedies in high
terms. While have not had any
occasion to use Favorite Prescription
myself, l can tell Of its benefit to my
sister. She used it to build up after
a nervous breakdown. She was well
satisfied and it did all she could eX-
pect. l have been well pleased my
self with DIR. Pierce's Pellets. They
are fine. 1 am only too glad to
recommend them.'-MRs. j. G. FRANK
LIN, Cabcll Street.
Hinton, w. Va.-"I am glad to re-
commend DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
For pills that cure indigestion, con-
stipatiOn and biliousness / have never
found anything better. 1 cheerfully
recommend them"-AIRs. J. w. Moss,
515 James Street.
Middle aged women about to experi-
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.
DIR. Pierce's Fav0rite Prescription Is
and has been for nearly so years just
the medicine. 1t is not n secret pre-
scription, for its ingredients are print
ed on the wrapper; it's temperance
medicine, glyceric extract from roots.
Not only does 1t build up the entire
system and make 1t strong and vigor-
Gus enough to withstand the organic
disturbances, but it has quietlng cf-
feet upon the feminine organism.
Every woman should be careful that
the liver is active and the poisons are
not allowed to clog the systenl-get rio
of these poisons by taking vegetable
laxative occasionally-such as DIR
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They do moi
grippe and will not harm the system.

Charley Chaplin, the "movie clown"
has declined to renew his contract
with the film people, expecting to or
ganize n great company, in which he
will demand guarantee of $520,000
Il year. Dispatches state that the
promoters are not falling over each
other to secure Charlcy's services.
The truth is, Charley boy has got IL
bad case of big head. Just about
one film of Charley's every six months
is quite enough. There is no sort of
entertainment one tires Of quicker
than the clowns.

The inadvisability, and in fact, dan
ger, of combining tho Presidency to
only one term, is apparent now. Where
is the man who could step in and go
ahead with Mr.. Wilson's job now?
Strange that so many men are even
willing to try it. If there ever was
n time when the Office of President
of the United States was undesirable
that time would seem to be just now
But, then, there is that old proverb

The following more or less dis
tinguished Americans are said to be
in line for the nomination by the Re-
publicans for the Presidency:
Root, Hughes, Fairbanks Weeks,

PROHIBITION ON WHEELS.

Editor the News:-Nothing could
better illustrate the progressive drift
Of all sumptuary legislation than the
letter of delegate Witten in your
last number, defending his extraordi-
nary measure to close the saloons in
Pocahontas before the time limit rec
ognized in the Prohibition bill and
solemnly agreed to by the most rabid
OF the anti-saloon men of "last year"

ulary of the born revolut;onist is n

sation or reprisal under whose ma
lign operation the people of South
west Virginia are to be mortified for
ever by their representatives in the

excuse delegate Witten's action in his
effort to out-cannon Cannon in his
devotion to cause, to which he has
been so recently converted.
1t will only require few exhibit
lions of this spirit to bring a good
cause into disrepute, and place Vir-
ginia in the category of the States
which have adopted prohibition and
repudiated it, because of the "intem-
perate" demands made upon the in
telligent proletariat by a majority,
which has not the wisdom to make
a salutary use of it's power.
Yours for decent government,

Over in West Virginia a deputy
sheriff has just been put in the pen
for life, and county court clerk
put in Jail. Is this pointer as to the
kind of officers they have over there
or the kind of law they administer,

that the deputy sheriff was convicted

COUNTY ROADS AND TOWN
STREETS.

The contest between two petitions
circulated for the call for q bond issue
IN Jeffersonville district, has been
compromised by increasing h e
amount of money prorated for this
corporation. There Were two peti-
lions before Judge Kegley, each pro. .
rating money for certain roads in
the county, and for the streets of
this town. One of these petitions was
gotten up and appointments made
by the regular committee appointed
for the purpose by the citizens meet
ing. This petition and its pro-rat-
ing was not satisfactory to certain
citizens OF this town, who, it is stat
ed, were not enthusiastic as to any
bond issue at all, and another petition
was gotten up, making quite u num-
Der of changes in roads to be built
appropriations for same, etc, and Civ
ing TO the town the sum of $4,000
OF the bond issue money. These two
widely different petitions were pre-
scented to Judge Kegley, who Vas ask
cd to order an election for bond
issue. Not being familiar with local
conditions, he declined to decide as
between the petitions and the two
committees got together and compro-
missed, agreeing to certain changes.
BY the compromise the town of Taze-
we'll gets $4,000 instead of $4,000 as
as at first prorated and $4,000 as
was asked by the second petition.
So, as the matter now stands. if
we are correctly informed, the bond
issue is for 100000, $4,000 of which
will be spent in this town. We have
not before us the details and specifi-
cations of the proposed bond issue.
but take it that the money has been
prudently and equitably apportioned,
and will be economically expended.
We have continuously thought and
contended that the preference should
be given first last and all the time. to
the country districts. These needs
good roads most. Many communities
are knee deep in mud right now and
find it almost impossible to get to
town, church and store. The town
people have good solid roads and side
walks except few back streets. We
have no hauling or driving incumbent
upon us. We can make out all right
with small amount of repair work.
The county districts should have the
preference because their needs are
greater and pressing. 1t is true some
OF our main thoroughfares are not in
good shape and need fixing up, and
our main back street should be put
in good shape and some others much
needed work done. The bond issue
will carry, as it should, and the money |
and quickly spent. Men
should be put in charge of the work
who know how to build roads, and
whose main object will not be to Sc
cure the maximum salary for them
selves.
We, the country and town people,
must get together, stand together
and pull together, for the common
good Of all.

another peculiar condition" continued
the statement, which handicaps the De-
partment of Public Works is the fact that
it is being steadily drained OF men in the
engineering grades of chairman. rodman,
transitman and craftsman by other city
departments. The salaries paid by the De-
partment of city Transit and Department
of Wharves, Docks and Ferries are all
higher than the corresponding grades in

suit OF this is that men who have been

The Director also made the complaint
that men ranking higher than laborers are
being attracted TO outside work by better
financial offers made by private concerns.
