Court Clerks.

Section s of the schedule of the new
Constitution, that provides the terms ol
the circuit court clerks in the State shall
be extended to January 1st, 1905, except
in the counties of Accomac, Augusta. Bed
ford, Campbell, Fairfax, Lee, Loudon,
Hanover, Henrico, Rockingham, Nanse-
mond, Northampton, Pittsylvania, Nelson
and Wythe.
The schedule originally provided that
in all counties with more than 15,OOO
population the terms of the circuit court
clerks should expire on the lst OF January
1904. But the clerks of the circuit and
county courts in such counties having
made agreements by which one is to act
as clerk of the circuit court and the other
as deputy, the Convention made the
change in the schedule as above noted.
In the fifteen counties mentioned above
the clerks made no such agreement.
Consequently the terms of the clerks IN
these counties will terminate the 1st OF
January, and there will be elections held
for circuit court clerks in such counties In
November, 1908.
An agreement was made between
Messrs. 7. E. George and H. Bane Har-
man, clerks, respectively, of the county
and circuit court of this county, and there
will be no election for clerk in Tazewell
county until November, 1905.

Plan TO Prevent Strikes.

Mr.. EDIToR:-After introduced a reso-
luton in the Senate at it's last session, de-
claring that organized labor should be
recognized equal before the law with or
ganized capital, number of my fellow
Senators asked me if l had plan which l
thought would accomplish the very deslr-
able purpose of preventing strikes. 10 all
these inquiries 1 responded that in my
Judgment labor unions should be incorpo-
rated and their rights and privileges as
well defined in their character as those OF
capital; that the regular officers of these
labor unions should be entitled to the
same respect and consideration before the
law and before the regular officers OF exist
ing corporations as the presidents and d.
rectors of railroad companies and mining
and transportation companies are now;
that all matters of controversy arising be-
tween incorporated capital and incorpo
rated labor should be adjusted by the OH
GERS; and in the event Of failure on theil
part to settle the dispute, then court o
arbitration should decide, and be empow
cred to impose fines and punishments t(
enforce their DEGREES.
As stated before in your columns, l an
one of a committee of three, appointed
under the resolution which offered, tt
report to the next session of the Genera
Assembly, by bill or otherwise, upon thi
subject. firmly believe that our com
mittee will be able to frame law on thi
subject, which, if it does not entirely pre-
vent strikes, it will be such an importan
step in that direction that strikes in Vii
ginia will be less frequent.
do not arrogate to myself superlo
wisdom and foresight upon this very pei
picking problem, but, so far as know
am the first to suggest this plan for pre-
venting strikes. J. n. HARMAN.

not consulted as to their appointment
But we have every reason to believe tha
they will act fairly in the matter of regis
tering the voters of the county. They
may, most of them, be partisans, but they
will not be likely to do any intentlona
wrong, even at the suggestion of any Iinl
politician.

A Youth Badly Poisoned.

A sixteen year old boy named DAVIS
Lambert has been engaged in driving one
of Mr.. NJ. L. Peerys wool wagons about
the country to gather up wool for his fac
tory at North Tazewell. Last Monday be
was with a wagon on the head of Tug
River, few miles north of Tlptop. He
became hungry and purchased can Of
beef from store, and ate pant OF 1t for
lunch. In short tine he became des'
perately sick and began to have convul'
sions He was brought to Tiptop, and con-
veyed to Mr.. Peery's residence near North
Tazewell, where he continues to have con-
vulsions and remain dangerously ill. 1t is
thought he was poisoned by the canned
beef, as his peculiar condition can be ac'
counted for in no other way by the ply
scans attending him.

desire again to call attention to the
fact that arrangements have been made
with Prof. G. D. NJ. Showater, assisted by
Prof. w. E. Lacey, to conduct a Normal
School at Tazewell College for the benefit
of those desiring to teach in the public
schools. This school will begin the LIST
day of July and close the 4th day OF Au'
gust, and examinations for white teachers
will be held the 9TH and 9th days of Au-
gust. The cost for board will be S2.50 a
week. and tuition for the entire time Will
be only So. All persons intending to at
tend this school should write at once to
Prof. G. d. NJ. Showalter, who will assign
them boarding place upon arrival. be
sure and be present the first day and
bring your textbooks along with you. As
there are so many subjects in each text
book to be reviewed, no subject can be
gone over twice, so it is necessary to be
present all the time.

EOITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

A great many 4 the wretches who are
being lynched in the South deserve death,
but the horrible manner in which death is
inflicted by mobs is a reflection on South
ern civilization, and is very demoralizlng
to law and order.
The Bryan and anti. Bryan Democrats
are talking great deal about harmon
izing. But the trouble is that each side
wants the other to harmonize by coming
to it Mr.. Bryan and his adherents will
not abandon the Chicago platform, and
the gold Democrats will not consent to
transferring themselves to the support of
the free silver and Populist doctrines of
that platform. So, harmony does not
seem to be very near at hand.
1t looks like the volcanic eruptions on
the islands of Martinique and st. Vincent
will defeat Senator Morgan's plans for
selecting Nicaragua as canal route.
Writing from Martinique, Prof. Heilprin,
who has been examining the Mt. Pelee
volcano, says: "The conditions here and
at St. Vincent establish conclusiyely an
increase, and not decrease, in volcanic
phenomena in the Caribbean Gulf region.
He says further, "this should dispose Of
Nicaragua as a canal route" In other
words, it is now we'll established that
Nicaragua is on long volcanic circuit,
and that it would be an unwise expert
ment to construct ali Isthmian Canal on a
route where the probability is that it
may be destroyed by earthquakes or vol
canic action.

BLuEF1r1D, w. %AY June 9.-The
strike in the Flat Top Coal region today
is about complete. iSome Of the opera
tions are attempting to load coal with
eight and ten men and in the greater mum
Der of cases with less tbAn this number.
il had been hopedJOy the operators that
g.greater number of the miners going out
on Saturday did so out of curiosity to see
what the other fellows were doing, AND
thew expected that at least so per cent OF
their forces to return to work today, Dut
it is generally conceded by even the oper'
ators that not over per cent. Of the men
returned. At the Southwest mines, Poca'
hontas, where 600 miners ordinarily work.
but fifty men are working, though this Is
much larger percentage than at any
other mines. In the Tbacker and Cllncn
Valley districts the men are still at work
though the agitators in Clinch Valley dls
trict are claiming that the men are eX
pected to 90 out. All the operators so 1al
seen refuse to be interviewed as to thel
intentions regarding the conference to p'
held Wednesday at Bramwen by th'
United Nine Workers, which the opera
tors have been requested to attend
Every precaution is being taken to protec

At last reports from the coal fields there
was no improvement in the situation On
Tuesday there were fewer miners at work
than on Monday. The Blue6eld Tele'
graph of yesterday says:
"To sum up the situation it seems that
the men who struck will hold out for some
time, and make bitter fight. The
operators will not agree to their demands
but will import new labor, and II possible
fill every strikers place. If there were no
other men willing to work the strikers
might have chance, but there are non
union men already en- route who will take
their places.
"The agitator will keep himself en-
ployed at good wages just as long as he
can and then sneak.
ga great many miners nave aifeauy
left the field and this lessons the number
the union will have to provide for In case
of prolonged struggle.
1t is the purpose of the companies tC
demand surrender of property used by
the miners as homes, and if necessary
evictions by legal process will follow
'The Mine Workers have posted thel
men to resist eviction by appealing eaci
case to a higher court This will necessl
tate the giving of bonds in each case
Arrangements, we learn, have been mad
to give these bonds. AT most OF Tn
operations the men have signed contract
to give peaceful possession oil the mouse
