Horrible Accident and Robbery.

We have just heard of terrible affair
that happened in Thompson Valley nearly
two weeks ago. A man by the name OF
William Long, from Buchanan county,
Va, was travelling with wagon and team
through the country and had camped for
the night in Thompson Valley. While
sleeping before log fire his clothes acci-
IDENTIFY caught on fire and he was horribly
burned, SO badly that he was made almost
helpless. He was found the evening after
the accident occurred by Mr.. H. s. Letter,
who lives on the Thompson Valley farm OF
Rees T. Bowen. Mr.. Letter took Long to
his house, and after he arrived there he
told Mr.. Letter that he had been robbed
of considerable amount of money by a
man whom he described, and who was
recognized by LETTER from the description.
Long told Letter if he would pursue the
robber and recover the money he could
have it, So Mr.. LETTER went over to Max
well and arrested man by the name OF
Gus Whit who, We are informed, gave up
S5s. 90 and confessed to taking it from
Long. Whit managed to make his escape
and we do not know whether he has been
pursued or not.
On last Thursday the injured man died
at the home OF Mr.. Letter.

Mrs. Amanda Cox died at her home at
Wytheville, Va, on Monday the 18th inst.
If she had lived until the 2Sth of next
month she would have been ninely-eight
years old. Her friends and relatives had
hoped that she would live to pass the cen.
tury mark; but short time ago it was
discovered that she was afflicted with
deadly, incurable malady. She was born
on November 2Sth, 1904, in Draper's Val.
ley, Wythe county, Va. Her maiden
name was Graham, and she was the sister
of the late Robert and Samuel L. Graham,
and Of the venerable Colonel William Gra-
ham, who still lives in Tazewell county.
She is survived by two cons, Messrs. ]. o.
and A. G. Cox, the latter residing at Graf.
ton, in this county.
In 1927 she was married to William Cox
and early in their married life they moved
to this town, then Jefiersonville. The
writer can remember when they lived id
the house now owned and occupied by w.
w. Moore on Main street.
Mrs. Cox was very earnest and zeal
Gus Presbyterian, and was one of the most
active spirits in building church edi6ce
for that denomination in this town-the
first house for public worship erected in
the town-and used by all denominations.
She loaned her Bible for use at all services
held in the church and, had the book up
to the time OF her DEATH That church
building was destroyed by fire, and Mrs.
Cox had the services held at her home
until another edifce could be built.
When the Civil War began Mr. and
Mrs. Cox moved to Cripple Creek, in
Wy the county; and in 1872 moved to
Wytheville, where she continued to reside
until the time of her death
Until a short time ago "Grandma Cox"
was remarkably preserved. She attended
church regularly, her faculties we're unim'
impaired and she did her own house work
with dispatch and neatness that would
have done credit to a young housekeeper.
She was of bright, happy disposition and
was tenderly loved by all who knew her.

she died. They we're carefully laundered

to inspect them once each year. When
she found a piece turned yellow she would

it with her own hands, put it away again.

her in her early life which she priced very

OUTBREAK AVERTED.
United States Troops Silence Indians
on VERGE of Outbreak.

Washington, Oct. 13.-A serious conflict
between partisans of rival candidates for
the governorship of the Choctaw Indian
nation, in Indian Territory. has been
ayerted by the present of federal troops,
according to dispatches received at the IN
terror department. Governor Dukes, the
outgoing governor, who is said to be
partisan of Hunter, one of the candidates,
took charge of the capitol building, assist
ed by armed horsemen, and, according to
Indian Agent Schoenfeld, arbitrarily per-
mitted persons to enter and sit as mem
hers of the Choctaw council upon commit
tees used by himself and refused to admit
members having certificates from regular
ly constituted authorities. Agent Schoen-
field appealed to Washington for troops
ON their arsival the Choctaw council was
nermitted to enter the building and re-
suae its sessions. The official dispatches
today show that the vote Of the council for
tie Office Of principal chief (governor) was
counted yesterday. Green McCurtain had
a majority of $50 and was duly sworn in.
Agent schoenfeld wires that the presence
Of the troops prevented clash between
ceptending factions and that he now an
ticipated no further trouble. Armed men
in the Choctaw capitol or grounds have
been disarmed or removed by troops.

Illegal Registration.

From what we can learn the entire reg
istration of voters in Clear Fork District,
of Tazewell county, is illegal and should be
set aside. In the first place, one OF the
registrars was not competent voter, and
had no right to sit in Judgment upon the
qualifications of others when he could not
legally register as voter.
In the second place, the registration at
each precinct in the district, as far as we
Lave learned, was conducted in the most
illegal and improper way. Sec. 4. Of ordi'
nance attached to the Constitution says
"The board shall record in suitable
books. hereinafter provided for, IN alpha
betical order, the names OF all persons reg
istered, the date ofbirth and regl stratlon,
their occupation and residence"
We are informed that the board in Clear
Fork District wholly failed to comply with
this provision. They had tablets and
wrote the names of all the applicants on
the tablets, and at their leisure, at some
other place, put them on the books pro-
vided for.
In the third place, they told but very
few, if any persons, that they were reject
ed, and many persons who applied were
not registered and were never told that
they were rejected. They were not only
by that procedure, misled by being made
TO believe that they bad been registered,
out they we're deprived of all opportunity
to take an appeal to the circuit court
Steps should be taken to have the entire
registration of the Clear Fork District set
aside. There are other reasons we are
told of partisan character, that can be Of
fered when the time comes.

Can a registration be honest when

sworn to do its work lawfully and honest.
ly?
Colonel George w. Miles. by his candi-
dancy for the chairmanship Of the
University OF Virginia has caused great
stir in political and educational circles.
The students of the University have in
body made a protest to the Board Of
Visitors against the selection of Colonel
Miles for the place.
The Democrats are very much de-
lighted over the strike of the coal miners
in the anthracite regions. They had been
without anything in the way Of an issue to
howl over, and are happy to have this
calamity to shrek about. The Home.
stead Strike, in 1892, was used by them in
such way as to fool the people into
placing them in power. The Democrats
gloat over and fatten upon calamity.
There was once poll tax qualification
for voting in Virginia. and it was so hated
by the people that the Republicans, when
they came into control of the State in 1882
repealed it.
Tariff revision and tariff revolution are
very different things. Whenever there is
any necessity for tariff revision the Re-
pubhcans, who know something of the
principle as science, will give the Eeces'
sary revision. The Democrats, who know
nothing but free trade or tariff for revenue,
were entrusted with the duty of revising
the tariff; and they were about as much oI
a success at the job as bull would be as
salesman in china shop.
