1t corrects inability to hold uriee and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad eff
fects follow use of liquor, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessi-
ty of being compelled to get up many
times durinS the night to urinate. The
mild and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. 1t stands
the highest for its wonderful cures of
the most distressing cases. If you need

A prominent gentleman of Taze.
well remarked to us recently that
he would not be surprised if Mai.
Tyler was nominated for Governor
by reclamation. That is Just what
ought to be done. The Virginia
Democrats are virtually pledged to
him. He was given to understand
when OFerrall was nominated, that
he should have the nomina ton
next time. Now let them fulfill
this promise. The course the Rich
mond Democrats are pursuing in
regard to the Primaries to be held
there is enough to excite universal
disgust aud call forth universal
protest all over the state. j. Hoge
Tyler, ought, of right, to be the
next Governor of the state, and he
will be.

"Dear Sir: III you will allow a
word of advice we will say, don't
make your paper too out.spoken
against the opposite party. Your
living depends upon your paper,

The above is from
one of our best friend i'm the conn.

est In us. We must say, however,
that our friend represents class of
Democrats and Republicans, too
who are not strong in the faith.
We believe in the Democratic doc.
trine, wholly and soully. We are
among that class known as "unre
constructed southern rebels" and
therefore we speak. We have de-
termined not to be offensive in our
criticisms or statements, but
equally determined to be true to
our conviction, even though the
butter on our bread is spread lit
tie thinner thereby. A wishy-
washy, vacillating editor, seeking
public favor at the expense of true
conviction is contemplate in the
eyes of all good people, be he
Democrat or Republican. When
the time comes that a political pa
peris afraid or ashamed of its prin
oiples, then the sooner it dies, or
gets out of the way, the bett er.

Advice Not asked, Nor Wanted.

Gratuitous advice or suggestion is
acceptable and appreciated when
offered by friends sincerely interested
IN our Welfare, but gratuitous advice
from an enemy, or from ono who ha
not onr interests at heart. is alway.
Objectionable, if not contemplate.
The Richmond Times last year, de
serted it's party and joined the ranks
OF the enomy, and now we want to
ask, what has the Times got to do
with Democratic politics in Virginia
The Roanoke Evening World per.
tinently remarks:
"The Times has recently talked as
though it expected little piece of
tail to wag the whole dog; but we
do not even recognize the Times rs
the tip end of the tail of the Demo
cratic big dog; but as the caudal ap
pendage to Mark Hanna's little Re-
publican bite.
If the Times wants say so in the
management of the Democratic party
OF Virginia all it has to do is to say.
81 will enter the party again and
abide by the decision of the MAORI
ty." Unless it can do this there is
no Democracy about the Times and
the party can allow the thing ''to go
its way and dictate its own future"

ANOTHER BUSINESSFAILU9E.

f. p. Cummings, one of the first
business men of Pocahentas, made
an assignment Monday to w. j.
Turpin, as trustee, for the benefit
of his creditors. This is the fourth
failure here since January, but it
is not likely to be at the bottom of
the list very long unless things
change for the better very soon.
Mr.. Cummings liabilities are
about $4,000, with assets to more
than cover this amount, provided
the actual valuation can be realiz-
ed on them. He made despcr-
ate and earnest effort to withstand
the storm of depression, but when
he fonnd that failure was inevita-
BILE, he did what he thought best
to the interest of his creditors
Headlight.
Mr.. Cummings is well known
here, and his misfortune is regret
ted by his friends. We hope the
situation in Poca is not so bad as
our neighbOr seems to think. We
don't know how soon the inevita
BILE may come to some one or more
OF our Tazewell merchants, but
there seems to be no indications
Of such a disaster in the immedi-
ate future. TaZewcll has most
remarkable record in this respect
There hasn't been a straighout
business failure or assignment in
Tazewell for more than ten years.
We don't pretend however, to say
that we have no failures.

The attentions paid to Mrs. Ramey

Ramey, who lay in wait to ascertain
whether his suspicious We're justified.
At an unseemly hour this morning he
caught Gilmore in his house in a way
that left no doubt as to the object of
his visit. Ramey at once opened fire,
and Gilmore replied. The two shots
were almost simultaneous. The first
shot proved effective. Gilmore fell to
