Guests Get Full"
The little village of Cedar Bluff
enjoys a good reputation away from
home-and at home, too, we sup
pose.
The cause is not far to seek. Her
citizenship is composed of the very
bsst of people. Within ten years
there have been fewer criminals
from Cedar Bluff in Tazewell jail,
probably, than from any other town
in the county. Cedar Bluff er cour-
ages and supports the best schools
and churches. Her people are law
abiding, moral and upright citizens.
One always feels refreshed after
having visited this quaint lite town
provided the weather is good
On "a recent short business trip we
met with some of the good citizens
of this town TO whom we are under
special obligations.
Messrs. Higgin botham Il Kirby,
the proprietors of the Clinch Valley
Roller Mills, were busy running day

catch up with orders for fine

market and cheaper than most oth-
or fine hours.

than usual on account of the absence
of Mrs. Kirby and the baby who

MIR. Goodwin is an energetic, pro-
gressive man and possesses, in ad.
dition to many other advantages
that of having once been practical

the large amount and splendid char

these mills. Here WOODEN goods OF
all grades, equal to those manufac-
tured anywhere, can be purchased at
reasonable prices.
These home industries should be
encouraged by all our people as far
as possible.
We are especially indebted for

We must not fail to mention the
fact that the Blue Sulpher Inn still
holds its place in the affections OF
the people who love good living and
comfortable surroundings.

WAKEM4N,s REMOVAL PROBABLE
Reports Unfavorable to the Appraiser Pill

THE Sun received information last night
from influential Republicans in various parts
OF the State that they have received from Will
bur I. Wakeman circular letters asking them
to protest against his removal as Appraiser OF
the Port. The SUNS informants went on to
say that the circular letters were signed by Mr.

that he should not be removed because he
represented. as the Secretary OF the American
Protective Tariff Association. the protective
tariff system OF the United States. The infor-
nation concerning these letters elected other
statements. the most important Of which was
that Secretary Gage OF the Treasury Depart
ment has either recommended MIR. Wake
mans removal. or is about to do 30.

by the Secretary OF the Treasury several
month"; ago to investigate Appraiser Wake
man. has forwarded its reports tc Washington.
All OF these sustained the complaints against
Mr.. Wakeman There are other reports about
the appraiser on file in the Treasury DEPART
ment in Washington which must be considered
OF a personal nature In view OF the fact that
the Treasury agents reported against him and
In view OF these other reports, the Republicans

LONDON. Aug 20. - The trade ion crisis
here came suddenly. but 1t has long been ma
turing. It Is the sober truth to say that IL
marks the deathknell of the stun p-orating. po-
litcal nondescripts. who invaded the offices OF
the youngerunions ten yea re- ago. whe n the Lon
don dock strike evoked sympathy for unskied
labor and was followed by the formation OF I'M
ions among all branches. These spellbinders
and shady organizers. whom the dockstrike
struggle brought to the surface, worm cd them
selves into the offices OF these new unions and
it was evident that eventually the old. conserv-
ative unions. such as the Engineers and the
Cottonspnners. would not consent to be counted
unit forunit against these mushroom growths.
which were without strength. funds or organ
ization. The first grave signs OF the
present crisis came with the engineers
strike early In the shipbuilding boom
OF two years ago. The young unions
then gave scanty and tardy assistance be-
cause the engineers we're the "aristocrats OF
labor" The defeat Of tho Engineers Union
brought it's individual mem bers to their senses
and they decided henceforth to sell their skill
for what it would bring The Executive Com nit
tee OF the Trade Union Congress tried In every
way to keep the engineers within tho fedora
tion. but they insisted that they would decide
for themselves Oh the merits OF labor struggles
affecting them.
The Congress meets at Plymouth on Sept 4
and It's Executive Committee. headed By Com
moner Woods. is doing its utmost to secure a
compromise with view to preserving the APP
pearenee OF solidarity Of labor associations.
The engineers refuse to compromise and feel
strong enough to follow their own judgment.
Moreover, they are tired Of having their men,
bership. accumulated funds and prestige pa
raded by the self-elected labor leaders who
boss the more ignorant unions as part Of the
power they can WELD. The country is watch
ing developments with a keen interest and 1t
seems likely that the operators OF sklle trades

Special CABLE D,spdtch 10 THE Sun.
LONDON. Aug. 2B.-Mr. Joseph Chamberlain,
Secretary OF State for the Colonies made an
i'm portant speech at Highbury this evening on
the subject OF the Transvaal situation. Mr.
Cham beran said
Il am loath to say much lest | do harm l
wish l could say that the differences between
the Government and the oigarchy at Pretoria
had been settled. We have made. perhaps. a
little progress. but cannot say that the crisis
is past. President KRUGER procrastinates and
replies in dribbes. each reply being like water
squeezed from a sponge.
He accompanies his offer with conditions
which he knows are impossible. or else he de-
clines to allow us to make satisfactory investi-
cation as to the nature Of the reforms he pre-
tends to concede. l do not think it will be
denied by any one that we have been very mo 7.
crate and conciliatory in all that we have said
and that we have exhited patience unpara led
seeing that In our relations we are paramou
and they q subordinate State.
What we have asked is admitted by the
whole world to be Just. reasonable and m oder
ate. Indeed the proposals mado at Bloem-
fontein appear to many to be on the verge OF
weakness. We cannot ask less and cannot
take less. tApplausel
The issues OF peace and war are In the
hands OF President Kruger and his advisers
Even at the eleventh hour KRUGER has 1t in his
hands by the acceptance OF the reforms to
relieve the difficulty, to secure and confirm
the independence OF his State and pave
the way for better understanding.
Will he speak the necessary words?
The sands are running down and the situa-
ton is fraught with danger and is too strained
for indefinite postponement. tApplausel The
knot must be loosened or we will have to find
other ways OF untying 1t. II we are
forced to that then l will repeat the warn
ing given by Lord Salisbury In the
House OF Lords. and would say that
II We are forced TO further preparations
and the delay continues we will not hold our
selves limited by what we have already offered.
but, having taken the matter in hand. we will
not let go until we have secured the conditions
which establish this paramount power In South
Africa and secure to our fellow subjects the
equal rights and privileges promised by Kruger
when his independence was granted
II a rupture. which we have done every
thing to avoid, is forced upon us am conf
dent Of the support Of a vast majority Of the
people OF the British Empire"
Mr. Chamberlain dWelt upon the unity which
would be displayed by British subjects In the
resulting situation and said he knew that
the colonies and dependencies would stand

tanning the honor and interests OF the empire
