the power of the victor.
She accepts the offered conditions in
order to conlude treaty of peace.
The American demands included the
acquisition of the whole Philippine and

XII Short you must shoot him some
where else besides in'the head.
After the war James Short camo home
and began life over again in Tazewell.
At the time OF tho opening of the Poca-
hontas coal fields, Short moved their
with his large family OF boys, five in
number, several OF whom were grown
men, aud worked and prosHered several
years in that growing and developing
section. He made cons derablc money,
which lie invested in land in Tuzewell.
When the "boom" struck Richandsl und
the Clinch Valley he moved with his
family back to the old neighborhood,
and then, to use his own words, his
troubles began.
His boys, nowyoung men, worked on
the railroads aud in the towns, and f.
nally in the coal mines of that section.
The boys became frequently involved in
troubles where pistols and knives and
bad whiskey played an important purt,
and james Shorts troubles deepened un-
til his ruin was well nigh complete. AS
the aged mother expressed it ns she wip.
ed the tears from her face; ave never
had no trouble with our gals, but
enough with our boys to mighty nigh
kill u.s." In defending his unfortunate
SONS Mr.. Short had to sell all his prop.
erty, and now in his old age il penniless.
The object OF the old peoples visit to
Tazewcll on this occasion, was to see ii
any thing could bo done to secure the
release of their son, James from the
State prison. where, it will bc emem-
bercd, hc was sentenced six years ago,
for killing II colored nun Mt Richlands
The anxious and troubled parents hnvo
gotten lengthy petitions, new evidence,
etc, bearing on the cnse, which they |
hope will procnre their sons release.
He said to us in tears, 'We aint able to |
pay lawyers, and brought the old wo.
man along because the Judge who sen-
fenced Jimmy and the attorney who
prosecuted him are fathers, and thought |
muby, their human nature might be |
touched wheu they saw U.s." aud the old
decrepit father and mother started out
next morning Oh an uncertain mission
full oi hope, to make an appeal such as
only parental love can mike. What sue
cess they had we do not know, but il il |
10 be hoped they succeeded in getting
such help ns will justify our merciiul and
tender hearted Governor in restoring
the boy to his aged parents, and that
