The Real Reason.

Much of the opposition against
Mr.. Tyler is not from any special
love for Mr.. Martin. Much of the
opposition which "the election of
Senators by the peolen will en-
counter in this campaign is not
due to any welded adherence to
the opposite doctrine or present
method, for we believe the major
ity of the people in Virginia, and
the entire country, are tired of the
present method, but there is some
ting incongruous, out of joint, out
of place impolItic, or something of
the kind, which makes this cam
paign unwelcome. unpopular and
uncalled for. This botched up
business began with the Mayconfer-
ence, and is going to carry the
earmarks and be a bo,ch all the
way through, and hurt somebody
and do no good.

Very important.

The Importance of using every
precautlon, at this Season, against
disease and sickness, cannot be too
strongly urged. This hot dry
weather is specially conclusive to
the spread and distribution of dis
ease germs, wherever they may
chance to exist. 1t is s9id that there
is less sickness now in Tazewell. and
has been for the past twelve months.
than for many years. This is prob.
ably true and should be appreciated
1t is not due to the fact, however.
that special precautions have been
taken. We believe that less has
been said about it and less done in
the way of disinfecting this wear
than We have known in any one sea-
son Let every householder see TO
1T that lime and other disinfectants
are freely used, particularly during
August. Why wait for the council
to compel 1t?

Clam Martin Has Won.

Rlchmcnd, Va, August 21.-A
statement is given out late tonight
by friend Of Senator Martin. and
with his approval, which claims TO
show that he has practically won
his denomination.
This statement shows that M to
this date, with the follower Sen
ators, rs Senators and members of
the House have been practically
chosen. OF this number, according
to this statement, Martin has sc.
Tyler ., and 8 are doubtful. There
are sxty-four members yet to be
nominated. Of this number It is
claimed that Martin Will receive
:wo-thlrds. Of twenty holdover
Senators this statement claims that
fifteen are for Martin, three for
Tyler and the remainder doubtful
This claim, made with Martins
knowledge, asserts that the Senator
will have one hundred mem bers of
the caucus. 1t will probably take
no more than sc to nominate.

would like TO publish this letter
but for reasons, which will
readily occur to DR.. Zimmerman.
we cannot do SO ut present, but

graduates us that we are on the
right side in the Senatorial race.
AS heretofore stated we fail to see

Tyler's race, at this time. Person.
ally, we would be glad to give our
vote, and what little influence we
have, to him, but up to this date
we cannot see that his election to
the Senate of the United States
would be for the general good.
There can be only one reason that
occurs to us now why we should
he III favor, possibly, of turning
Mr.. Martin out and putting the
Governor in, that is that large
majority of the Democrats wish it
done, and this remains to he seen.
In this event we think it would
be unwise and impOlitic to make ii
bitter fight as between the two
men. We thank DIR. Zimmerman
for his letter, and will put it

tRichmond LEADER.


There is Il brave preacher in
Memphis. He is the Rev, Sam
Holiday, colored, and he had the
boldness to assault the cake-walk,
which he says is greater evil than
hen-liiting or crap shooting. He
reasons this way:
"WhatsOever is bound in heaven
is bound on earth; and whatsoever
is loose in heaven,is loose on earth
and the cake-walk is sho' loose Oh
earth.n
We admire the courage of this
deyout preacher, to say nothing of
his theology, but his judgement is
poor. A cOlored preacher may
prohibit crap-shoOting and yet
keep the roof over his head =.
He may even set his face against
sinful indulgence in watermelons,
and yet not drive the mouruers
from the bench. But when he puts
the bane on cake-walking, his
ministerial days are numbered.
1t is hardly necessary to say
that Rev. Sam Holiday is an open
air preacher. He has no house of
worship no ''reglar" congregation.
