DR.. VIM. Edwin Hall.

We have never heard DIR. VIM. Edwin
Hall, but we have met number of per-
sons who have heard him. From the ac-
counts we have received from these per-
sons he must be the foremost man on the
lecture platform today. One cultured
citizen of Tazewell has heard DR.. Hall
more than a dozen times, and he said to
US few days ago that be was the finest
lecturer he ever heard, and that he looked
forward eagerly to the opportunity for
listening to him again.
DR.. Walk, who is a man of large exper'
fence and ripe scholarship, has said: CAS-
an all-round lecturer DR.. Hall has no equal
on either the American or British plat
form, and | say this after having Leard
Tilton, Beecher, Talmage, Ingersoll, Glad
stone, Disraeli and others of worldwide
fame"
The people of Tazewell can look for
ward with keen anticipation to the lecture
of DR.. Hall, with assurances Of deriving
great benefit and enjoyment therefrom

Orders In The Nicely Case.

New York, January l9.-Judge Lacombe
in the United States Circuit Court today
signed an order vacating the order OF ar
rest in the civil suit against G. f. w.
Nicely, under which he was held in 1000
bail.
Later, before United States Commission
er Shields, motion was made for dismiss
sal of the case before him, in which Nicely
was originally arraigned on a charge of
larceny. Nicely deposited $4,000 cash
bail with the clerk of the court, and was
released. That money is +. still held by the
clerk, but it has been attached on behalf
of the government. Commissioner Shields
granted the motion.
Nicely is now in Ludlow street Jail on an
order to arrest issued under the special
extradltion act passed on June 6 last.
Judge Lacombe ordered that he be sent
back to Cuba for trial. An appeal was
taken to the United States Supreme Court,
which recently confirmed the decision Of
the lower court. Nicely will remain in GUS
tody until formal order has been re-
ceived from the State Department at
Washington directing his return to Cuba.

THE CUBAN CONSTITUTION.
How 1t Will Probably Be Treated In
Congress.

Washington, Jan. 20.-TEe reports from
Havana that the Cuban constitution may
be completed in time to be considered at
this session of Congress has led to discus
sion in Congress circles as to the procedure
likely to be adopted on document Of this
character. 1t is expected that the consti'
tuition will be forwarded TO the President
and by him submitted to Congress, proba'
bly, with recommendations In the House
the understanding prevails that any action
on the subject would be framed by the
Insular Committee. But it is not clear
what action, if any, is called for relative to
the constitution Of what is held to be for
eign territory, except as it contains pro-
visions regarding the United States.
Chairman Cooper of the Insular Com.
mittee saws it would not be for Congress to
pass upon or ratify the constitution, as it
is for the Cubans to do this for themselves.
He thinks it probable, however, that de-
claratory resolution could be framed, ex.
pressing the views Of Congress as to the
sufficiency Of the constitution in insuring
stable and pacific government for Cuba,
and perhaps laying down the general plan
of turning over the island affairs to the
Cubans as soon as their constitutional sys.
tenn is put into practice. In this, however,
the purpose would not be so much to pass
on the constitution as to see that the
United States pledge of pacific govern
ment were carried out. In case the con.
stitution provides for an American protec-
crate, or gives other provisions relating to
the United States, special action might be
required beyond the mere resolution APP
proving the system proposed.
Chairman Knox OF the Committee on
Territories expresses the belief that there
is not the slightest chance of advancing
the constitution so that It can be consider.
ed at this session of Congress, and he ex-
poets Fabian policy, by which the Gu
bans will slowly perfect their system and
the United States will gradually determine
upon the ultimate relations which are to
exist between this country and Cuba.

No Light.

The Tazewell Electric Company found
it necessary to have its engine repaired
and had to shut down last Monday for
that purpose. The consequence was that
the lights were not on Monday night, the
fret night in eighteen months that the
town has been without them, and the first
since the electric lights were turned on.
1t was very dark night and the streets
were actually black with darkness. Per-
SONS who tried to go from their homes on
the residence streets to Main street found
it very difficult undertaking. We tried
it, in company with three other persons,
all with goods eyes, and we had to take TO
the middle of the street and feel our way
along.
If there ever was any doubt about the
comfort and usefulness of the electric
lights, that doubt was dispelled by the
experience of last Tuesday night. Hay'
ing enjoyed the wonderful convenience
and comfort of well lighted streets and
homes our people now wonder how they
ever could do without the electric lights
One nights withdrawal was good exper
fence.

A STREAM OF GOLD! !!
Cutting Into II.

Some of the leading men of Virginia
and the South, as they stood by and
watched the stream of gold flowing from
our Sunny Southland into the laps of our
RIVALS for commercial supremacy at the
North, East and West, believed it to be a
patriotic duty to cut into it by organizing
the great SouthAtlantic Life Insurance
Company, of Richmond, Va.
These men have been astonished at
the generous patronage accorded this great
and worthy enterprise. Why not keep
your money at home, to build up the
waste places, instead of sending it away
when you can secure a life policy at no
higher premium, receive equal protection
and as large dividends as you can any
where on earth? These three things are
promised you by this old line Southern
Company.

Some attempts have been made to
compile estimates of the loss from
smuts in the different states. The es-
Inmates put the loss to farmers every
year at tens of millions of dollars. Few
farmers that suffer from the presence
of smuts realize it. The heads that
are smutted are stunted and do not
show above the others, and some of
them never get out of the sheath. So
the farmer fondly dreams that he has
no smut in his fields ''to amount to
anything" This loss is one that
should not he accepted as matter of
course. The process dipping for get
ting rid of smut is well known and
should be universally applied.
Women May Fight in China.
Women in China have the privilege
of fighting in the wars. In the rebel
lion of 1850, women did as much fight
ing as men. At Nankin, in 1853 $780,
600 women from various parts of the
country were formed into brigades of
1900 each, under female officers. OF
these soldiers, 10000 were picked wom-
en-, drilled and garrisoned in the city.
