A WORTHY ENTERPRISE.
A Modern Hospital to be Built at
TaZeWell.

DR.. h. b. GillesI lie for some time has
been contemplating establishing at thi:
place a hospital with all modern equip
ments and improvements. He is now on
the eve of carrying into effect his plans fol
an institution of that character. The hos.
pta! will be built on the site of his present
sanitarium, and, from the plans which
have been prepared, when completed will
be the handsomest and best equipped hos
plal of it's size in the South. The build
ing will have a frontage of 80 feet and will
run back 60 feet There will be three
floors above the basement, with wards
sufficient to accommodate twenty pay
patiel ITS and free wards for as many chari-
ty patients, if the scheme for establishing
charity wards can be successfully carried
ont.
1t is contemplated that the town will
take a sufficient financial interest in the
enterprise to secure a ward where the
charity patients OF the town will be treat
ed, and that the county will also make ar
rangcments to own and control a ward for
the treatment of its charity patients. Tie
matter has already been brought before
the town council and will be submitted by
that body to the people for their consider
alton. 1t will also be brought before the
county authorities. So far as we have
been able to ascertain, public sentiment
both in the town and the county is favor
able to the scheme. 1t is most com.
mendable enterprise, one which reflects
great credit on our town and county, ard
will be a blessing TO the afflicted who need
surgical and medical treatment.
The plans for the building have been
prepared by Mr.. J. b. Crawford, accord
ing to the suggestions of DR.. Gillespie, who
has recently been ex mining large hospit-
ais and other buildings, with view to
getting something that will be complete
and modern in every particular. The
building will be wooden framed and ve-
neered with brick casing on the outside.
1t will be heated with hot water, have bath
rooms and water closets on each floor, be
su piled with elevators and liiters, and a
fire operating room, finely equipped
kitchen and dining room, in fact, will be
uD.to.d date in every particular.
We bid Dr. Gillespie, God speed i'll this
noble enterprise. He should have the
cordial support of our people.

Letter TO Henry Preston,
TdzeweH, Va.

Dear Sir Mr.. II. II. Stephenson,
Cashier of Oil City (Pa.) Savings Bank
Writes mine years ago | painted my
house with your paint. 1t wore so well, l
want TO use it again"
That's nothing wonderful except for the
fact that the soft coal region of Pennsylva-
MIA is pretty hard on paint with it's oil,
smoke and CRIME. All we see in II is that
Devoe is good for nine years sometimes.
There are thousands Of people that know
it, and millions that don't
There's the rub We print for tine
millions; we want 10 make paint for the
millions.
Mr.. Cashier, do you know that Devoe
lead and zinc ia worth twice as much as
old fashion painters paint, lead and oil,
and costs no more? Is 100 per cent a
fair profit in your business
Three quarters of the people paint lead
and oil mixed by hand; while the U. 5.
Government uses lead, zinc and oil
ground together by machinery same pro-
portions as Devoe lead and zinc. The
majority never is right about anything.
Yours truly,
2S +. w. DEyoE & Co.

SHOOTING MAY
LEAD TO FEUD
Member Of Kidnapping Party Fatally
Wounded Near Williamson, ". Va.
OUTGROWTH OF A FAMILY QUARREL
Old Man Butcher Abused His Wife and
Was Beaten Nearly to Death by
His Step-SOn-Aged Couple
Roughly Handled.

A shooting affray which will result IN
the death of at least one man, and which
NAV lead to further bloodshed, occurred
near Williamson Sunday night or rather
Monday morning. y gentleman who came
from Williamson on No. II yesterday
afternoon says the facts, as nearly as he
could learn them, are about as follows;
Sometime age an old man by the name
of Butcher married a widow of one OF the
McCoys of Hatfeld.McCoy fame. The
bride was the mother of boy Of about
twenty years of age.
1t seems that Butcher and his wife were
not happily mated, and family quarrels
have been frequent. Sunday afternoon, 1t
is said, young Mccoy went home and
found Butcher abusing his (McCoy's)
mother. The young man possessed a
great deal Of the fiery spirit and stubborn
courage which have made his race famous,
and he at once lit into his step father.
When a truce was declared, it was found
that the old mans right arm was broken
and that he was beaten nearly to DEATH
After the fight young Mccoy found 1t
convenient 10 visit relatives on the Ken
lucky side of the river.
Sunday night crowd of Butchers
friends, armed to the teeth, left William
son to hunt down Mccoy and hand him
over 10 Justice. The young man was
found, in company with several friends, at
the home of an aged couple, on the Ken
tucky side. His surrender was demanded
and a free-for-all.fght ensued. About
a score of shots were fired, and when the
smoke of battle bad cleared away, Mccoy
was in the hands of his enemies.
One of the Butcher party vas shot In
three places and cannot possibly recover,
and the aged couple with whom the fugu-
tive had taken refuge were badly beaten
by the self-constituted custOdians of the
law. Both received severe bruises, which,
owing to their advanced age, may result
seriously.
Mccoy was brought back to Williamson
and turned over to the authorities, and is
now in Jail.
His friends, both at Williamson and on
the Kentucky side, are loud in their de-
nunciations of the Butcher party, and 1t
is feared that the end is not yet.-Blue-

REPUBLICAN, PARTY SOUTH's HOPE
Senator HawIey Believes Many Former
Democrats will see Wisdom of a
Protective Policy.

Washington, May 6.-The split In the
Democratic ranks in the South, which has
been emphasized by the recent courageous
utterances of Senator McLaurin, of South
Carolina, is receiving attention from men
of all parties. Senator Hawley, of Con-
necticut, is taking deep interest In the
question, and in an interview published
here this afternoon says:
81 am very much gratiGed over the po-
sition which has been taken by Senator
McLauriD. l have no doubt that there
will be many men in the South who, as
the racial question mitigates, will work
with the Republican party. The prospect
for reconstruction is very hopeful. To a
certain extent it is almost an absolute cer-
tainty.
81 think Southern people would be
quite right in joining the Republican
ranks. for there is do doubt that the fur
therance of the protective policy of the
organization is of great benefit to the
South. do not wish it to be understood,
however, that l am in favor of the adop-
ton of any measure or measures designed
to sacrifice the rights of the colored voters.
/ advocate equal rights and denounce
murder and fraud at the polls, and know
that men like Senator McLaurin take an
equally firm and unequivocal position on
this question.
"There is no telling to just what extent
this movement will succeed. In time
believe the principles as outlined by Sena'
tor McLaurin will have great effect in the
South. But it will take time. We will b'
Obliged to wait and see how many and
what men are going to take the lead 10
this matter. and then to watch the effects
of their work upon the people of the
South"
In speaking of Representative Babcock'i
amendment to remove the tariff duties Oh
iron and steel Senator Hawley said
81 do not favor any measure whlcf
seeks to abandon the policy OF protection
TO American industries. Neither would
favor any piece of tariff legislation enacted
in revengeful spirit would not lenc
nv Y, te 10 any measure of a punitive
nature; but in cases where is perfectly cyl
dent that no protection is necessary there
can be no harm in the enactment OF
measure making reasonably well proper
toned reduction in the tariff duties. Suct
legislation would simply show that tb'

JACKSONVILLE IN RUINS.
Ten TO Fifteen Thousand People Render
ed Homeless.

Jacksonville, Fla, May 5.-At l0:3C
last night the fire that las swept the resi-
dental portion of the city, entalling a loss
of Sl5 900, ,0C0, was under control. Subur.
ban settlements, with the exception Of la
Villa, are intact. La Villa was badly
damaged. The situation this morning is
one approaching desolation in large sec
ton of the city. The burned district
reaches from Burbridge street on the
north to the st. Johns river on the south,
a distance of not quite two miles. The
width of the desolated area is l3O blocks
Within this space practically everything is
blackened ruins.
The wind was blowing strong from the
southwest, and from the humble homes o.
the poor to the elegant residences Of the
well to do was but short journey for the
flames. After passing the bridge street
the first house to ,succumb to the flames
was the mansion of former Councilman
Stansell.
Right into the heart of the city the
flames swept. The Windsor Hotel and
the St. James, both fine winter hotels
we're consumed in an incredibly short
time. The opera house followed and ther
row upon row of elegant residences burn
ed. The plans of the city, as prepared by
the city engineer, show that 130 blocks
were burned and part of another block.
The estimates of residences to the blocl
in the residential district is ten, making
300 destroyed. In the business section
the blocks were solid.

TO OPEN ALL CHINESE PORTS.
The Effort Being Made BY United States
Government.

Washington, MAY 6.-Inquiry here con-
firms the report that the United States ls
working, and finds support in its effort, to-
ward the opening of all China, including
the provinces, to the trade of the world.
This does not mean the abolition Of Gus
toms duties, but would make every Chin
ese city market for the worlds goods,
instead of limiting foreign commerce to
the few existing treaty ports. The project
is one that appeals temptingly to the COM
mercial interests of others Of the great
powers and of the United States, and if it
should command the support of the neces-
sary number, hope is entertained that it
will indirectly aid in the settlement Of the
troublesome indemnity question.
