WASHINGTON, December l5.-The Sec
rotary Of War is making rapid progress
in his policy Of wedding out the Indian
soldiers Of the army who were enlisted
rnder the last administration as an ex-
pertinent in civilization. A sufficient
number Of red men to constitute two
regiments, one Of cavalry and one OF in
fantry, have had military service under
this experiment, which in the opinion
Of army officers has proved a woeful
failure. 1t lie explained by army officers
that whisky has not go much to do with
the failure to make good soldiers out Of
the Indians as the fact that their polyc.
amoue customs render it impossible for
them to remain at posts where they are
denied all domestic relations.

VIII You Have Elicit or Sou Inward


No man who loves Tazewell Elicit
as he deserves to be loved-no man who
has the interest Of the Democratic party
truly at heart-will sit down and say,
"Oh; there's no use OF voting; E'iett
is In no danger"
After the full warning our voters have
received. II they still persist In their
apathy. they will be deliberately con-
trlbuting to the possibility OF South
wards success.
The real opponent Of Elicit Is South
ward, and Democrats who vote Tor Judge
Gregory are aiders and abettors OF South
wards.
There was no purpose to run a Ke-
nublican candidate In this district until
the leaders of that party became con-
WINGED that Gregory was going to draw
10 some extent from our strength. Then
the Republicans concluded that as the
Democrats had divided 1t was about time
for them to step in and elect South
ward. So every Democrat who votes LOT
Gregory gives at least half vote to
Southwark.
Drop Gregory at once and rally 10
the support OF Colonel Tazewell Elicit
He will make you an able, brave, ana
nure representative, and Is richly en-
titled to the support Of all members OF
our party.

A Strike Won bv Motormep.

A peculiar scene was witnessed on the
streets OF Lynchburg on Friday Mr..
John r. Pettyjohn, one OF thu most
prominent citizens. was seen running a
trolley-car through the city as motor
man. He Is president OF the Rivermont
car line, and that morning all of the
crews In the service quit work owing 10
a cut In wages These men had been
working on an average Of ten hours each
day for u IL cents per hour. and were
cut to 10 cents per hour and eight hours
a day. Friday morning they quit work
TO a. man, and as no crews could be pro-
vided TO run the cars, Mr.. Pettyjohn and
an inexperienced boy kept the line In
operation throughout the day. The tie
up resulted In a surrender by the COM
pany late yesterday afternoon. II was
found impossible for the company to pro-
cure men to run the cars. and In order
to keep the line open they had to come
to the terms OF the employees. and the
wages were put back to II IL cents per
hour.
