"ANOTHER PAPER IN TOWN"

Every now and then somebody
starts rumor that another paper
should be started in this town. Well,
why not? The field is open. This is
a free country. There is ample groom
at the top" This town needs another
paper. The merchants and business
men crowd the columns of the one
paper in town with their advertise
ments. They clamor for more space.
Every week the paper is forced to
turn down number Of orders for
space. Another paper is needed to
take care of the weekly increasing
number of advertisements of the
home merchants. So, it would appear
that this is an suspicious time, the
psychological moment to experiment
with surplus money. And then, rents
are low, white paper is only about
$500 per 100 lbs, coal is chcap.
Electric power is cheap. The advance
in prices of power to take effect
about January LIST is negligible. Limo
types, presses, inks, metals etc, all
cheap. A linotype man will cost only
about $500 week. And so, again
the prospect pleases. Come on in
the water is fine.
AS an additional inducement to
those already offered, there is this
other-there are people in this coun-
ty who do not take the Clinch Val

take one of their "faith and order y
There are, perhaps several hundred
folks in the community who take nc
paper at all, and these people are
hungering and thirsting for a news.
paper. No doubt they would rush in
tumble over one another and fight
if necessary, to get on the subscrip.
tion list. Oh, yes! fine time. If VIC

When it became known that the
Baptist people would found boys
college somewhere in Southwest Vir-
ginia, the business men of Bucfcd
got busy and went after it ana got IL,
winning over number of strong
competitors on the main line. The
decision was practically unanimous
at the meeting of the General Asso-
citation held in Lynchburg last week,
and the Blucfeld people, naturally
and deservedly, are much gratilicd to
have this fine institution in their
midst. The city of Bluciield donates
large site of some 95 acres Of
land on the southsidc, about mid
way between Blucfield and Graham
and near the Virginia line. The Bap-
lists will set aside something like
100000 to begin with, and the belief
is expressed that the school NAV be
opened to students in the fall Of
1920.
We take off our hat to Bluefeld,
the growing, hustling little city on
the Summit
The school is to be Junior Col
lege, which means, we believe, that
two years of the regular college
course will be given, permitting stu
dents to graduate in any college in
two years after graduation from the
Junior College.

PRICES OF PAPER STILL
SOARING.

Last week, when we had to pay
SG.75 freight and drayage added, for
news-print paper, per 100 lbs, the
Editor groancd and grunted immen-
sely. But, from late reports, other
groans and grunts are coming. An
official report made late last week
says:
mo one can do anything more
than guess at the paper prices Of
the immediate future, but those who
claim to he on the inside are guess
ing that the top in paper prices has
not been reached, and that the "auc-
ton market" conditions will con-
tinue with Il constantly increasing
price. They are also guessing that
the small consumer who cannot deal
direct with the mill, or with mill
brokers, are very likely not to get
paper at all"
The past week has brought no
material change in conditions which
promise any relief. There is Il short
age, according to statements made
by the manufacturers, of 100000
tons of paper. In the same paper it
is stated that 10000 tons of print
paper was exported during the month
of August This expectation should
not be allowed so long as there is n
shortage here. The small dailies and
country wcekles are feeling the
pinch hardest. Numbers of them are
suspending. Others are increasing
subscription rates which cuts down
circulation and conservcs paper Sen
ator Watson, who is investigating
conditions, says: "The small papers
throughout the country are in a con-
dition which is alarming according
to reports received by me. There
must be relief" A price, any where
from cents to 10 cents a pound,
may be expected in the immediate
future, provided paper can be OBJ
tanned at all.
a number of paper mills have cut
down production and some closed
down entirely, because of the short
age in coal. But, nevertheless, we
will worry along. There is this con-
ISOLATION: This great country would
not wreck and ruin if number OF
papers, including this one, should
cease to exist.

Worlds Record
Broken by Tanlac

Ianlac has brought new romance
10 the commercial world. 1t is the
story OF an acceptance and appreca-
ton of merit never before attained
by proprietary medicine Staid
business men to whom the actual
hgures of the production of Tanlac
have been presented have secuted
them until the proof was shown. The
production of Tanlac now stands at
the rate Of almost four million
bottles per year. The exact figures
are 3,992,S00. The sale of 4 million
bottles in the first nine months.
which far exceeded any record ever
made by proprietary medicine, now
seems insignificant.
OVER 1900 BOTTLES A DAY.
Sales this year bid fair to smash
all previous records, as the sale fer
the first ten weeks of this wear
amounted to over One Million bot
ties, an average of over one hundred
thousand bottles per week, which Il,
at the rate of more than seventeen
thousand bottles per day. 1t seems
almost incredible, but these are actual
figures and such is the record estab-
lished by this wonderful medicine
Zone firm alone" said Mr.. G. f.
Willis, the international distributor
of Tanlac, "has given orders for a to-
tai of 10000 bottles within eighteen
months time. The firm I refer to is
the Spurlock-Neal Co., of Nashville,
Tenn. Mr.. c. S. Martin, president of
this great firm, who is also president
of the Southern Drug Jobbers' asso-
citation will verify this statement.
"U nlac is the result of MANY years
of arduous study by Mr.. Cooper and
his principal chemist. In fact, the
two of them have carefully watched
its development from the beginning
of the experimental stage to it's pres
ent state of efficiency. So remarka-
BILE have been the results obtained
from this medicine that / doubt seri-
ously if either of these men realize
the immensely of their success. Like
many other great discoveries, it has
required time to prove it's far-reach-
ig effects"

TOO MANY SCHOOLS"

In conversation with citizen of
another town the other day, ne said
Eve have too many small colleges
now, and every one of them are in
debt, and some of them are doing no
good and never have. There should be
consolidation"
He went on to say, Commencing
at Bristol and ending ut Roanoke, Il
considerable distance, there are, all
told, ten colleges, male and female,
and some Of them have only small
attendance, and all of them strugg-
ling for an existence
Perhaps it would be nearer correct
to say, that these school are not prop
erly distributed-too much punched
up, and also that there is need of
consolidation. Some years ago the
proposition was made to move Stone
wall College, n Presbyterian school
for girls, to Bluefield. The city was
anxious to have the school, and made
attractive propositions, as we re-
member, but for reasons, perhaps in
part sentimental, offers were declin-
ed, and the proposition to move any
where was voted down. And right
then and there the brethren "spilt
the beans"
This is day of concentration and
consolidation. A number of schools,
churches and other institutions could
be easily consolidated with others,
and lot of lost motion and diss
patcd energy conserved.
