In the Line OF Promotion.

Mr.. j. N. Hartman has recently re
turned from Richmond, where he
was summonsed by the General
Manager Of the South Atlantic Life
insurance Company, which company
Mr. Haimau has been successfully
representing in this section for some
time, He was informed by The Gen
eral Me Menaaer that the compsny had
promoted him to the position Of
General Agent for Southwest Virgil.
MIA, with headquarters at Tazewell,
The history Of this matter, briefly is
this; Sometime Ego, about Oat. LIST,
the compan, agreed to give bonus
to the agent who would write the
largest percentage OF a ce-'tain amount
OF insurance assigned, during the
months Of October, November aud
December, Mr.. Harman went at the
task with a will and wrote 50, SOC. 90
more during the month OF October
than was assigned fof the entire
three months, and which put him
we'll ahead in the contest for the
"bones," which the company riopo-
ses to award in January next TO the
most successful agent. Mr.. Harman
was assured, furthermore. that q
wider territory would be assigned
him 30 soon as the present one,
which embraces the whole of South
west Virginia, was we'll oreanized.
Mr. Harman's success aud promo
ticn is not only gratifying to him,
but to his mrny friends throughout
Southwest Virginia and the State.
HE peculiar fitness for the position
OF General Agent is guarantee OF
success. His acquaintenarce with
the people of his district. his tact
and skill in appointing men-much
of which he acquired as q politician,
will assist him materially in The
selection aud handling OF agents and
assisting in the work The South
Atlantic Company is said to be one
of the very best in the country, and
the policy, which they write, one oi
the most liberal, and we predict no,
only rapid introduction of tie
company into this territory. but {
brilliant and successful bushes career
throughout tho county.

Silver Exoitement.

The report reached this office that
Burke's Garden has been not little
excited for some time over the re-.
ported discovery of silver mine in
the mountain nearby. 1t seems that
years ago rumor had it that a silver
mine was discovered there but the
discoverer failed to reveal its where.
abouts, but now. having been resi-
dent of the far West for a number of
years, has agreed, for a percentage,
to tell all he knows about it. Sev-
eral Tazewell men, more or less
mineralogists, have been in Burke's
Garden re>ently, looking for the
precious metal, but with what results
is not stated. We give these state.

A Gard.

There appeared in the Tazewel
Republican Of the 18th, instant, all ar
ticle which pretended to be a iepl,
to the card OF the Electoral Board
of this cocnty, in which che writer
attempts 10 rely upon precedents in
the appointing OF judges of election
in this county.
We would not notice the effu
sions of the Editor of the Republi-
can, if it we're not that the article is
so wide of The truth, that we deem il
necessary to put ourselves in the
proper light before the people.
There is not a fact to substaptiatc
the efasion of the Republican The
facts a-e az follows:
On September 5th, 1900, MIR. II
Il. Mccall, the Republican County
Chairman, subn 'tted list of names
to t. A. Lyoch, Secretary of the
Electoral Board, with the request
that he submit the list to the Bosrd
when IL met, for consideration. On
October 10Th, Mr.. Mccall went TO c.
IL. Peery, another member of the
Board. and h.ld him be had submit
ted the list to Lynch, with The request
that the names on the list be consid-
cred by the Board when it met to
make the appointments, which re-
quests we,e complied WITH. No
promises were asked aud Lone wece
made.
As to precedents we will say, ttat
there bad never been but ore list
furnished by the Republican Chair
man before this, and that was in 1896.
when Mr.. w. @. Young was County
Chairman. At that time some of The
persons named in the list wee ap-
pointed as Judges and some were
not, just as was done this ear in the
case OF the liet furnished be Mr..
Mccall.
The foregoing are the facts as they
actually occurred, and il the Repub-
Fcan Editor had taken the pains to
get at the truth, and had written his
''little piece founded upon the t-uth,
instead OF endeavoorlrg TO nervert
the facts, there woold have been no
occasion for this article from US.
With the foregoing statement OF
the facts, we leave the malser with
The public to pass judgement.

that the electric light plant can be
operated by the town at a slight in
crease over the first rates and make
$4,000 clear. The plant will cost
to operate it until midnight, each
night. $l335.00 per year. A % per

$l5O0.00, leaving q balance in favor
of the town OF $l65 90. The town
pays The company now $4,000 Eor

makes $SS5.00 in favor of the corpo.
