WANT LOWER FREIGHT RATES
Western Petroleum Refiners Assn.
Makes Application to p. U. G.

Makes Application to p. U. G.
The Western Petroleum Refiners
association has applied to the public
utilities commission for a 10 per cent
reduction in freight rates in keeping
with the general freight rate slash.
The application is to be taken up
later.
When the existing rate orders were
made the oil rates were kept below the
standard increase. When a 10 per
cent cut on intrastate rates was an
nOunced by the railroads. the cut did
not affect the oil rates. 1t is to deter
mine merits of a claim for a special
reduction in the oil rates that the case
will be heard by the commission.

BLUEFIELD COLLEGE TO OPEN
In NENn MONTH

DR.. Larsuc!l, President of Blue
field College, was in the community
last week end, in ilc interest of his
school. He made visit TO Burkc's
Garden, and received encouragement
from some OF the citizens of that
com.nunity-among them, II. M. Law
son, prominent and progressive
man. The buildings at tho college
have not all been completed of course,
Mt this time, but will be pushed rs
rapidly as possible.
1t appears that majority of the
largest and readicst contributors to
this school so far, have been men
who have no children of their own to
educate, men of mature years, whose
experience and observation teaches
them, that tho best investment for
the future is in the education of the
boys and girls OF today, who nre to
be the leaders of tomorrow.
Canlier and rust cannot gather up

your money, but what is your money
doing with you?

Mr.. A. D. Witten, a "Tazewell
boy" now successful business man
in Martinsville, Va, in a private let
ter says among other things, that
he will wager a good dinner that
Geo. G. Peery "gets licked" The
wish, no doubt is father to the
thought. He says also, as. to the oppo-
siticn of this paper to the tariff :"Nfy
experience has taught me that in
the period when we had q low tariff,
business was on the bum, and when
we had good protective tariff, busi-
ness was always good" etc.
The manufacturers generally tall,
in the same strain. Tax the consum-
er, poor devil, he can't help him
self, make him bear the burden that
"big business" may grow fat. Well,
alright. This tariff business has de-
feated the plautocrats several times
in the past, and will do it again, as
sure as shot. 1t does look singular,
however, that party supposed to
have some political sense, would per-
