found anything so good for stomach
trouble and constipation as Cham

DR.. George Ben Johnston once SAID
that, if memorial were ever erected
IN his honor, he would wish that it
I'D not take the form of marble or
granite, but that it should be road,
or Il school, or Il hospital-somethin
that might be of benefit to mankind.
1t is with great deal of pleasure
that we note the inauguration of a
movement by the good neople of
Abingdon and vicinity to erect the
George Ben Johnston Memorial Hos
pital of Southwest Virginia-an insti-
tuition that shall be built by the con-
tributions of those who would thereby
honor the memory of the rreat Vir-
gnla surgeon, the institution to be
owned by the public.
DR.. Johnston was especially de-
srous of seeing a well-cduippcd hos
pital erected nj Abingdon, his native
town. lie wanted it to be second to
none in the whole country. Not only
Will all Southwest Virginia ioin hands
IN this splendid and practical move
ment, but we doubt not that hundreds
oil patients of Dr. Johnston in all
parts OF the country will wish to con
tribute. The $4,000 building. which
It IS proposed to erect now, may prove
but the foundation of great hospital
IN the heart of Southwest. And,
however, great and useful and helpful
1t may come to be, it will only be
worthy the memory of one of Vir-
glnla'S greatest surgeons.

a HEALTHY SIGN.

The county road authorities in this
and other counties are experiencing
an unusual situation in their work
Since the saloons were banished from
the State recruits for the convict road
forces have been falling off Mt an
alarming rate. The convict camp in
the Maiden Spring district is short its
quota Of men by nearly so per cent.
and the indications now are that tho
force will have To be augmented from
some other source than from the peni-
tentlary and jais of the State. 1t is
stated that Tnzewel county has had
an average of twenty-five men at the
camp since its establishment several
years ago, but that now this number
has fallen TO one or two.
The situation will, of course. be
taken care of, the roads will be built
and the work will progress with more
ease and rapidity than before.
The factory that turns out "road
makers" has been forced to shut down
and the headwaters of the stream that
has poisoned so many mems minds
and bodies has been purified.
Roads that are built in the future
VIII not be constructed through tho
mistortunes OF the poor man, while
the rich go unpublished and trave

OF their less fortunate brothers. The

GOOD ADVICE TO COLORED
PEOPLE.

AT the annual meeting of the Tus-
keegee conference, held sort time
ago, a resolution was offered and
adopted, advising the colored people
to remain in the South" instead of
seeking homes in the north.
This is sound advice for more rea-
song than one.
The Southern people knew the negro
and the negro knows the Southern
people. TIE two races live in peace
with each other. The better class
CT both races never clash. 1t is onlv
the lower, criminal classes OF both
races that have trouble. This class
the lazy and shiftless-we can well
afford to lose.
The southcr people need the negro
and the negroes need the southern
people. Neither can get on well with
out the other. The negroes real
friends are in the South. Here are
opportunities for his advanceent and
development not to be found else
where. The advice of the Tuskeoee
Conference is timely, and should be
taken to heart.

GOVERNOR NOT a CANDIDATE
Will Not Enter the Lists Against
Senator Thomas S. Martin.

Richmond, Va, Jan. Ex-Governor
Henry c. Stuart, whose name politi-
cal gossip has several times linked
with the office of United States SEN
ator from Virginia, today finally dis
posed of the rumor that he has now
any intention of entering the lists
next year against Senator Thomas
5: Martin, who will go before the poo
pie at that time for reelection.
The governors denial was in reply
to an article sent from Washington
to the Norfolk Virginia-Pilot. in
which it was said that friends of
Governor Stuart who have been in
Washington recently have said that
the governor would, in all human
probability, be candidate for the
Senate next year for the seat now
occupied by Senator Thomas S. Mar
tin"
Governor Stuart disposed of the
suggestion in the following language:
81 have never even considered doing
what the Washington dispatch sug-
gests | have no present purpose tc
be candidate ut any time for any
office. My administration as gov
ernor has been governed by this po-
sition."

INEXPENSIVE GARDEN TOOLS.
Exchange

Very few Of our Southern farmers
have yet got half what they should
out of their gardens. A large per-
centage of them have purchased or
are planning to purchase all kinds Of
labor-saving implements for the gen
eral fnrm work, and all of this is well
and good, but how many have ever
given any thought to the purchase
oil labor-si,vlng garden tools?
or course the common hoe is need
ed occasionally, but it is used about
10 times much as it should be used
in the garden. The steel-tooth gar
den rake should always be on hand.
1T rs very inexpensive, costing from
30 cents up. You should not attempt
to do garden work without this i'm
plcment, it matters not what ether
kinds of laborsaving tools yol may
have. The spading fork is another
useful implement to be used in the
garden. The real labor Saxers among
the garden implements are the wheel
hoes OF hand plows and the seed
planters. These implements are us
cd very extensively, both bv small
gardeners and large truck growers.
The seed sowcr lays Off the rows,
sows or drops his seed, covers and
packs them, all in one operation, and
does the work Il great deal better
in every respect than it could be done
by hand and with much less labor.
1t can be set in such way that rows
Of amy desired width up to = feet can
be laid off. This puts all the rows
OUTS the same distance apart, and this
is no small point. 1t can be set so
that it will plant just the proper
amount Of seed and no more. If these
implements are properly cared for
they will last almost lifetime, and
should not be called costly when you
consider their long life.

A BOARDING CLUB HOUSE FOR
TEACHERS,

The time will come, if not already
here, when apartments, comfortable
quarters must be provided for the
teachers Of the public schools in every
town. AT present there is much in
convenience caused the teachers i'm
securing suitable boarding houses in
this town, and we presume the same
conditions exist in other towns.
In another column mention is made
of the teachers club house in the town
OF Richlands. The school people and
the town council have solve dthe prob
lem. They have comfortable build.
ing of ID rooms, in which all the
teachers board and room together.
The Principle is general manager.
Rooms are free, the teachers divide
expenses.
In addition to the advantage of
cheaper and better accommodations
the teachers are all together. On
portunity is offered for conferences,
discussions of ways and means. vcx-
ed questions are settled or discussed
at least, and no teacher coming to
Rlchlands TO teach has any concern
as to where she shall board. The
Club is no longer an experiment The
time has passed when teacher should
be compelled to race over town, an
plying here and there for board, and
often denied Private families, only
enc here and there, are prepared to
accommodate boarders. The hotel
charges are necessarily higher than
most teachers can afford to Dav. and
hence. teachers are often inconven-
fenced.
This question, we understand. has
been brought before the board, but
SO far as known no steps have been
taken. There seems TO be the oues-
ton of money in the way, or the lacL,
OF money to provide such Il building.
even should the Board favor it. But.
1t Will be done sooner of later. and
would help along very much if done
soon.

SUGAR CURING MEAT

One of the best ways of curing
meat, and one that is used consider.
ably in some sections, is that of sugar
curing it. The Florida station gives
the following method of doing this
work: After the meat has been cut
IN pieces and thoroughl'' cooled, mack
It IN barrels, and cover it in brine
Make the brine from three pints of
syrup, two ounces of saltpeter, eight
pounds of salt and four gallons OF
water, This will cover 100 pounds of
meat if it has been well packed
Leave the meat i'm the brine for
form five to eight weeks, according to
the size of the hog. Then wash YOUR
meat IN lukewarm water, drain, and
then smoke.

Danger Signal.

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help
to put out the fire? 1t is much the
same way with cough. A cough is
u danger signal rs much as fire
bell. You should no more try to sup
press it than to stop fire bell when
it is ringin" but should cure the dis
ease that causes the cough. This
can nearly always be done by taking
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Many
have used it with the most beneficial
results. 1t is specially valuable for
the persistent cough that so often
follows a bad cold or an attack of the
grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, And
rev, Ind, writes: "Dming the win

and coughs and cougs. Chamberlain's

for breaking up these attacks and
