SHALL WE HAVE TOLL-GATES
IN TAZEWELL?

The Board of Supervisors has call
ed meeting of the citizens of Taze-
we'll county to take up the matter of
toll gates for the main roads of the
county. The citizens are requested to
attend the regular meeting of the
Board on the 18th Of August, and
mir their views on the matter. The
toll gate question has long been I'M
der discussion in TaZewell. There
are q number of taxpayers i'm favor
of the toll-gate method of helping to
keep up the roads, and likewise
number opposed to the measure. 1t
is an evident fact that the roads of
the county are being used by many
non-residents who pay no taxes or
help in the upkeep of the roads in
any way. 1t is not an unusual thing
for dozens of cars from West Virginia
to be seen i'll Tazewcll any afternoon
on Sunday. The Fincastle road from
Tazcwell to Bluefield is favorite
speedway for Bluefield autoists, who
pay nothing for maintenance. The
impression must not get abroad, how
ever, that we want to close ourselves
in or keep our neighbors from COM
ing to see us, but the idea is simply
to let him who dances pay the fid-
dler. Few people who use automo-
biles should object to paying n small
toll to keep the roads in repair The
many people who are so unfortunate
as not to own car fail to see the
justice of paying taxes for maintc-
nance for the other fellow.
Under recent law of Virginia the
main road running the entire length
of the county will be taken over by
the State and maintained. If the cit
liens of Tazewell county expect TO
get any benefit from the toll-gates
they had better get busy.

EXTENDING THE IDEA.

There are, of course, anecdotes
about General Pershing going about,
all of them to his credit, it need
hardly be said. But this is one which
General Pershing himself is fond of
telling, and it is always much re-
lished by his hearers. 1t happened
when the general was on the Mexi-
can border. A regiment was march
ing by when it met a small, ragged
Irish boy holding tight to donkey,
which had become fractions owing
to the noise of the regimental band.
1t was all his small owner could do
to hold him. AS the men swung by
somebody in the ranks called out:
"Say, kid. what are you holding
your little brother so tight for?"
Because" replied this Irish lad,
"he sees you guys, and Pm afraid he
might enlist. christian Science

There is the bitter side to this wal.
that we should not overlook in our
celebrating the victories of the arms
OF the Allies. There are thousands
of American boys wounded and in the
hospitals in France today, and hun
drcds are sleeping in Flanders fields,
who fell in u just cause. 1t is our
duty as the battle progresses TO pre-
pare ourselves for the worst, the in
evitablc, which must bcfall many an
American boy in France. The cas-
ualty lists are growing larger and
will continue to grow larger, but try
to console yourself with the assur-
ance chat he died that others might

ARMY MAKES RECORD MEAT
PURCHASES.

Chicago, July 20.-The largest sim
gle order for bacon and canned meat
in the history of the world-99, $780,
600 pounds of bacon and $4,000 900
pounds of canned meat, has just been
placed by the Quartermaster's De-
partment, U. S. A., for the American
Army Overseas.
Louis +. Swift, in commenting ON
this today, said the order will take
the bacon from approximately l.,
100000 hogs and if other work were
dropped to produce it would be aquiv-
alent to the total bacon production
of the five largest Chicago packers
for nearly five weeks, however, six
months will elapse before delivery is
made
Mr.. Swift said:
"At the current prices on the day,
last week when the purchases were
made, the packers would pay the
live stock producers about $80,00O,-
600. for the necessary hogs and over
S5O,0O0,000 for about 100000 cattle
required.
"The cattle will cost us twice as
much, and the hogs two and a half
times as much as in the pre-war pc
Rod.
Inc whole order will be made up
before the first of the year, despite
the fact that, even before this pur-
chase, one-fourth of the packers ia
cilities have been devoted to filling
military demands.
"In order to get out the canned
goods the packers will find it neces-
sary to employ night and day shifts
of Gamers. Notwithstanding the
fact that the products are being rush
ed forward thus hurriedly, not sin
gle complaint has been received on
meats delivered to the armies
abroad.
"The five packers are killing about
100000 hogs weekly to keep abreast
of martial and domestic needs.

any, but Pm proud of our boys"
exclaimed lady the other evening,
after hearing the news of the sue
cess of the Allied arms on the West
ern front. This same feeling fills the
hearts of the American people all
over the United States, and in the
foreign lands. The American SOL
der has distinguished himself on the
battle front, has been tried in the
fiery hell of poisonous gas and Ghrap-
mel, fighting for you and for me,
against the most barbarous and brut-
al foe known in history and evidence
is plentiful that he has kept the
faith. General Pershing, commander
of the American forces, visited the
hospitals in France last Sunday, and
left this message to the wounded
American boys: america is proud
of you" This is the feeling through
out the land. We are all proud OF
the brave boys who have faced the
Hun bullets, and we revere the mem.
DRY of the heroes who have giver
their lives that you and ! might live

Camp Humphreys as follows:
"There were sixty-fve of US men

Sundays Bluetield Telegraph says:
The Lewis Creek section of Russell
county, Va, is becoming one of the
main coal producing sections of the
Cnnch Valley region. Within a dis
lance of about six miles up this creek
there are now opened up and in ac-
tive, operation fifteen mines. Last
week the production was 1913 cars, or
about 6,519 tons of the very best BIZ
luminous coal.
The road built by the Honaker
Lumber Company up this creek when
II nrst began to operate it's large
maker, will be taken over, it is under
stood, by the Norfolk and Western to-
morrow. The road runs up the creek
distance of eight miles and goes in
to the rich coal section of Buchan-
an county, which will be developed in
the future as soon as railway con-
nection is established.
The White Oak Lumber Comranv.
the successors of the Honaker Lum-
Der Company, owns about thirty mile,
Oh standard gauge road into Buchanan
comfy, which reaches the fine timber
Delt OF that county, and is constant
ly increasing its mileage i'm order to
reach their timber boundaries.
1t is pointed out that it will be
only matter of a short time before
a road is buitl, probably by the Nor
folk and Western, on into Buchanan
county, where the richest deposits OF
Goa, are known to exist of anywhere
IN the, country. The road would then
only be a short distance from the
Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio, con-
nectlon with which would be an easy
matter at or near the breaks of the
SS!ulm!oeriands, near Elkhorn city, Ky.
this link to be built at no far dis,
