ALL AGREED ON
THE new ROAD
Tazewell and North Tazewell
Have Gotten Together and the
State Highway Will Pass
Through Both Towns.

The citizens meeting called for
Wednesday night to determine what
action should DO taken in reforonca
to the location of the new highway
ehded i'll an amicable agreement be-
tween the Towns of Tazewcll and
North Tazeweil, and the road will
bass through the length of both OF
the towns. 1t was agreed By John
! ID. Peery, chairman of the bonrd of
supervisors, and the citizens md the
council of Tazewell that the construc
ton of the road should begin ut the
town branch west of Tazowel, and
be built to the outer corporation linz
its of the town of North Tazcwell.
The location of the road in this town,
whether tho Tazewcll avenue or the
kailrond avenue route is to be de-
tcrmincd by the Town council of this
town at an early date.
This is happy solution of a prob
lem that threatened to delay road
work indefinitely in this section OF
tho county. The enterprsing citi-
zens of North Tazewell have shown a
spirit of consideration for its neigh
Dor town of TaZewell that is highly
commendnble i'll their Willingness and
desire to cooperate with the inter
ests OF both towns as the ultimate
end. There has been more or less
talk here that the North Tazewell
ctizens desired to "put one over" on
us and have the state rond located
down the river from North Tazewell
and cut this town out entirely, and
IN retaliation it was proposed to no.
tition the Highway Commission to
change the route Of the read from
Burke's Garden siding to the Fin
castle route via George A. Martins
residence, which would have lets
North Tazewell entirely out of the
system, and would have defeated the
object of the state highway, which is
TO serve as many people as possible.
happily for all concerned this latter
scheme has bbecn abandoned, and the
road will pass through both towns.

nance and construction costs will he

Superintendent Patterson. of tho COLI

move the camp and preparations
were under wny to do so whom the
commission was appealed to. It is
indeed fortunate for the towns of
Tazewell and North Tazewclll that
these gentlemen persuaded the COM
mission not to move the camp from
its present location until the road
work i'll this locality is completed.

Hylan's Republican Votes.

Mayor HYLAN polled in Manhattan
$4,000 more votes than CRAIG, one of
his running mates, and $4,000 more
than HUBERT, the other. In Brook
lyn he polled $4,000 more than CRAIG
and $4,000 more than HUIBEET. He
ran ahead of CRAIG $4,000 in The
Bronx and 10000 in Queens. He ran
ahead of HULBERr 10000 in The
Bronx and 10000 in Queens.
In the whole city HYLAN's vote
was 100000 bigger than either
CBAIG's or HULBEgT's.
On the other hand, CURRAN's fell
low candidates, LOCKWOOD and Git
ROY, ran ahead of him in every bor-
ough. In the whole city LOCKWOOD
received $1,000 more ballots than
CuRRAs and GILRoY $4,000 more.
The opposite movements of the
tne Mayoralty candidate, HYLAN,
forging ahead of the rest Of his
ticket, and the other, CUREAy, falling
behind his. resulted in the striking
plurality differences of the Tammany
winners, with HyLAY's plurality Of
41S,000 showing in round numbers
10000 higher than HULBERTs and
10000 higher than CRArG's.
From these differences in actual
numbers OF votes cast for the can.
didates on each ticket it is evident
that there were both independents
and Republicans who voted by the
thousands for HYLAN on some issue
distinctly aside and apart from the
main municipal questions. These
thousands would not vote their ap
proval of the Tammany-Hylan-Hul
bert dock management as represented
on the ticket by HuLBERT. They
would not vote their approval of the
Tammany.Hylan-Cr financial man
sgement as represented on the ticket
by CRAIG. They would not vote their
approval Of the general administra
tion as represented on the ticket by
enybody else.
But they would vote and they did
vote for HyLAN, irrespective of his
administrations record with Tho
schools, the Police Department. the
nblic markets, the taxes and all the
rest.
Iiere is a perfectly obvious vote q
thousands of Independent and lie
publican voters who stuck hard ant
fast to their own ticket, 50 far as th'
other candidates we're concerned. Dl'

Now that women have the vote feel
that it is the duty of the intelligent class

Armistice Night. 1918.

Armistice Night and world ablaze.
Feting the diamond dawn of laggard
peace,
With stark hysteria and pounding pulse
Bred by the dear release from black
ened years.
Lanterns are swaying now in Asian airs
Along the Yeddo's verge, and Annoy $
lanes
Start with this lifting news from West
ern lands.
On the Luneta and in Hindustan.
And deep in Africa, by Table Bay,
Sleep is forgotten on this golden night.
Far in the cold wash Of her northern
seas,
Tho Lion roars across q world redeemed.
And from the Orkneys to the Sussex
Downs
The blood is racing in the Islanders.
Broadway is Bedlam and in Herald
Square
Confetti's colored snow Is flung afar,
And through a thousand streets across
the land
They drag the Prussian King in effigy.

If Britain Pays Us Interest,

II Great Britain begins paying into
the United States Treasury the inter
est on the war loans advanced by our
Government to the British Govern
rent it will mean quarter Of a
billion Of dollars a year in gold, and
this is pretty penny to have COM
ing in as national income
1t is a quarter of what the United
States Government whole annual
expenditures were before the war.
1t also is quarter of all the inter
est the national Government now
pays to Liberty bond holders and
Victory note holders. 1t is not far
from the annual amount of Treasury
revenues which have been produced
by our import duties.
But let nobody suppose that the
annual coming OF another quarter of
billion OF gold to our shores. though
j. may help to reduce taxation, is
going to solve or be a large factor
N solving our problems, which no
longer are financial but are eco
nomic. Only getting back to the old
American standards Of hard work,
maximum production and reasonable
costs will do that.
No more is it to be taken for
granted that the British payments OF
interest may be an insurmountab,e
barrier to our export trade because
OF the further disturbances of the
exchanges which will follow such
feavy payments to us. Except for
exports OF such of our raw materials
as are indispensable to foreign manu-
facturers and foodstuffs we haven't
a chance on earth for resumption
CT former sales abroad unless we get
the costs right.
Debased currencies in exporting ma
tions like Germany, Italy and Fin.
land undoubtedly can become the
weapons for waging a sharp competi-
tion against us in neutral markets
but if our own costs continue to be
grossly excessive the foreign compt-
tition on whatever basis of exchange
values will be withering.
Foreign interest payments or no
foreign interest payments, abnormal
exchange markets or normal cx'
change markets, our exports OF man
ufactures must depend mainly upon
our production costs in cutthroat
competitive field where, other things
being equal, the lowest price always
gets the business.

ANNA KATHARINE GREEN has been
a tale writer, with no pretences to

great contemporary, Mr.. HARDY, take

deserted house or an isolated Inn,
adds some pine trees and mournful
wind, packs In feud, a triangle, a
shot in the night, weird woman in
black, choking cry and singular
footprint in the snow-and sends for
her detective. At 3 o'clock in the
morning the reader closes the book,
looks apprehensively around his
chair and sneaks to bed, shuddering
but content. Maybe it isn't art, but
1t is story telling.

thirty stories of mystery and it is
certain that her readers could stand
thirty more-all written to please the
audience rather than the critics.

Seaplane Hunt for Herring.
Warm Weather Made the Fish Fat
and Lazy.

From the Manchester Gudrdion.
The continued absence of the shoals
e herrings In the North Sea is causing
alarm in east coast towns. Seldom IL
ever have the herring catches been SO
poor in quantity or quality. The most
important effect of this is that in such
places as Lowestof;. where the harvest
is OF supreme Importance. the herring
market is virtually at a standstill. From
day to day the Scottish fishery girls are
arriving, but there is nothing for them
to do. SO serious is the situation that
seaplanes are being sent in search OF
tho miesins shoals, and a special boat
har left Lowestoft TO survey and report
on the state of affairs.
One Of the most plausible reasons for
the absence of herring was advanced by
Mr.. David Young Of Lowestoft, who has
had forty-five years experience In the
Industry. "All sorts OF IDEAS" he said.
"have been put forward. The most
likely reason Is that during the war
the spawning grounds were affected by
the mine fields, and that when explo-
sions occurred much OF the spawn was
destroyed. The herring takes four or
Ave years to mature after spawning.
ard II the spawn has been interfered
with during the war We are only now
beginning 10 feel the real effects
Another reason IL the abnormally calm
weather. The fishing grounds require
winds just as much "a the ground IN
land. and the herring feels the warn,
weather and has kept TO the bottom.
Only those Of a poor or what is known
in the trade es of an oily quality have
come to the top.
