Ex-speaker Reeds Attitude.

kansas City Start
1t is probably not surprising that ex-
Speaker Reed should sympathize per-
sonally with Speaker Henderson, tho
the affirmation of such loyalty to the
tariff as Mr.. Reed processes, does seem
remarkable in man of his intellectual
fiber, aid his familiarity with public
affairs. 1t might be supposed that ex-
Speaker Reed would be well abreast
with the progressive and liberal senti-
ment of his party. instead of holding to
such of it's doctrines as many of it's
leaders are preparing to repudiate.
How much of pique and resentment
there may be in all of this the gentle
reader is left to determine for himself.
The ex-speaker has not, apparently,
been on very friendly terms with the
world since the republicans chose to
overlook his really good points as a
presidential possibility. Henderson is

THE CANDIDATE NOT COUNTY.

AT Hampton tomorrow the republi-
can delegates OF the Third compression
al district will have before them task
Of far greater political Importance than
any that other delegates have had to
perform yet this year. Just as the par
Of biennial campaign it has been left
adrift without man at the helm by the
rapid flow of time insists that said ship
drift on, pilot or no pilot, and it is the
duty Of the delegates tomorrow in hur-
ried conference to select man strong
enough and able enough to grasp the
tilier of drifting ship with the power
full hand of leadership. Amid stream
and without previous experience with
the tortuous course, he must be man
who. by sheer force of character, can
pilot his barQue to success.
Realizing that any candidate with
this late start must begin at a disad-
vantage, realizing that the democrats
will make the most of Hendersons ex-
hibition of i'll temper, and realizing that
the name Of Boies is one to conjure with
among democrats. the delegates at
Hampton should not gather with the
usual struggle on the part of each dele
cation to see how much 1t can land for
it's county, but every delegate should
consider it his duty to represent the
whole district and select the man who
can the most easily be elected. If Du-
buque is sore" at Blackhawk don't
consider Blackhawk man. If one
candidate is to be fought at home don't
consider him. The candidate must be
acceptable to all counties and be a man
with large capacity to wage vigorous
campaign. He should have nothing to
explain but all to gain by aggressive
ness in his candidacy. 1t should matter
little, If the delegates do their duty,
what county he halls from. When NOM
mated he will represent the Third con-
gressional district, and when elected
he will owe his Office as much to one
county as to another and to all more
than to one.
The situation has so shaped itself
that all Iowa is vitality interested in the
Third district outcome. Henderson, in
spirity of petulency and yindictive-
ness because of his opposition, has COM
promised his whole party. He has pro-
claimed to the world that the republi-
can party of Iowa is controlled by free
traders" and disrupted by factional
strife, which is resulting in the retire.
ment of such true-blues as himself. If
this is so the golden opportunity of the
democrats has arrived. For years re-

John BULLS BEEF PRICES.

The tentacles of the American trust
seem to pinch the English people as
hard as they do those OF other coun-
tries, If not harder. Hence the extor-
zion of the American beef trust con-
tjnues to be fruitful theme for the
English press. The British government
! is roundly abused for its refusal to open
the ports to the Importation Of Argen-
tine live cattle. There is no question
that the consumer in London is paying
10 per cent more for beef than year
ago. An official Of the Swift company
declares that the price is due entirely to
the shortage of the American supply,
and, contrary to the general belief, he
says his firm has frequently sold mea.
in London this summer below what 1t
cost in Chicago, as the English would
not pay beyond a certain price, so they
are mot making fortunes by grinding
the British consumer" He added:
$50 far as the Argentine business is
concerned the closing of the ports to
live South American cattle does not
matter particle, because more refrig-
Grated meat has been shipped from
Argentina to England this year than
live and refrigerated meat combined
during any previous season"
1t may also be mentioned that the
American packing houses are preparing
to enter the South African field, so that
the public may be expected to hear
something more about the trust from
other sources.
1t is understood and admitted In our
own country that high prices for meats
result from two causes. The first was
the hurrying off to market last year of
everything in the meat line that stood
on four feet, following the extremely
dry period and short crops and high
prices for feed. thus to some extent
causing shortage of stock. The other
reason is that of meat sharing in the
general rise of prices in a prosperous
era. More of 1t is consumed, too, max
ing the demand greater. This has been
inevitable. Still 1t is very generally be-
lieved that the combination of big
packers has added more than a gener-
Gus profit to these prices and should be
overhauled by the trust regulators for
what many believe to be extortion.

well. For eight years they carried on
business in the old frame store house
which stood where the grocery store OF
SPOTS Bros. now stands.
In 1897 they built the handsome two
story building, with basement, on the
north side of Main street. This building
has frontage of fifty-six feet and runs
back 100 feet. The store room on the
west side, with frontage of thlrty.three
feet, is the handsomest retail hardware
store in Virginia. Its counters, desks and
shelves are made from the finest quartefed
oak, cut from the forests of Tazewell coun-
ty. This room is filed with very large
and wel-selected stock of hardware,
stoves, tnware, house furnishing goods,
furniture, carpets, oils, varnishes, etc.
The second floor of the entire building,
as well as the basement, is used by Moss
& Greever. Each of these is 56xloO feet.
On the second floor they have their I'M
dertaklng department aid store their large
stock of furniture. The undertaking de-
partment, which was added only few
years ago, has become one of the largest
features of the business.
The buggy department is also a very
important feature of the Moss & Greever
business. They purchase their buggies in
carload lots direct from the manufacture
ers and have them specially made to suit
the Tazewell roads. They sell large num-
Der of these bugges each year.

POCAHONTAS CAN Be JUSTLY PROUD
OF the Mercantile Business Conducted
by Mr.. ]. [. Baber.

Among the business men of the town
of Pocahontas that may be termed the
pioneers il Mr.. j. L. Baber, who went to
that place in 1886 and began a mercantile
business. Since that lime he has been
continuously in business at Pocahontas,
and no citizen of the town has ever stood
higher in business and social circles.
In 1891 Mr.. Baber moved into the
large brick storehouse which he now &C.
cupies, and by his uniformly polite treat
ment of all customers and visitors who
enter bis establishment, has made repu.
tation of which any man may be proud.
When we add to this the reputation he
has won for fair and honest dealing, it is
no wonder that he has established trade
and won custom that no other merchant
can take from him. Men have come and
men have gone, but he remains at Poca-
hontas, constantly growing in popularity.
Mr.. Baber carries large stock of gen.
eral merchandise and conducts his bust
ness on as nearly a cash basis as is posi-
BILE. He is assisted by a large force of
clerks, but is persistent worker himself,
both at the desk and behind The counter.
Mr.. Baber is a native Of the State Of
Tennessee and is forty five years old, but

sided in our State. He is one of the most
useful citizens of our county.

The TAZEWELL WHITE LIME WORKS
A Useful Industry That Is Growing
Rapidly.

The Tazewell White Limr Works, locat.
ed at North TazewelI, of which Mr.. John
w. Campbell is proprietor, is likely to be
one of the most useful industries of raze.
we'll county.
Before establishing the works Mr..
Campbell visited many points 10 South.
west Virginia, looking for the best stone
that could be found for the manufacture,
of lime. After having stone from many
dlaces analysed, he found the best on Mr..
Joseph S. GIlespie's land, short distance
southwest of the station at North Tazewel.
The analysis, which was made by h. W.
McGruder, chief chemist of the Agricul.
tural Department Of Virginia, shows That
tie stone contains 9S q calcium carbon
ate, nearly pure lime.
This analysis was go reassurng that Mr..
Campbell proceeded to erect large kiln
at the point indicated, and, May l, 1901,
began to burn lime Since that the works
have been run at their full capacity of sew
enty barrels per day, and the supply has
not been anything like equal to the de-
mand. The local demand has been so
large that number Of large fOlelgn orders
could not be filled.
The quality of the lime is unexceled in
strength and whiteness, and there has never
been complaint from any purchaser
about the quality, all concurring in pro.
nouncing it the very best. There have
been 10 complaints about measurements,
as extra care is used in handling, so az TO
reduce rock in it to minimum.
Building and agricultural lime are both
supplied, many of our farmers having
found out that the most valuable fertilizer
they can use is lime This will make these
works very useful in that they have started
our farmers to using lime on their land.
The supply of stone exists in apparently
inexhaustabe quantities and is Of uniform
quallty.
1t is the purpose of Mr.. Campbell dur
ing the present year to put up barrel fac
tory and manufacture his own barrels, and
also to build another kiln, which will en-
able him to double the present output.
He will also commence to burn coke in
stead Of coal, which will give finer,
whittier lime.
