Col. Geo. A. Martin Gazetted.

The Nashville College OF Laws" desig-
mated as the American National Instl'
tute," situated at Nashville, Tenn, has
conferred upon Hon. George A. Martin
the degree of LII D., as certified by the
President of said college under Its corpor-
ate seal, which we have been permitted
to examine. The honor was unsought,
but was only a Just recognition OF the
scholarly attainments, public services ana
worth Of its recipient. He was Colonel In
the Civil War, Railroad Commissioner OF
Virginia, Senator once and Delegate twice
in the Legislature of this State, besides
holding many other positions and offices
of trust and honor. He has been sue.
cessful lawyer and one of acknowledged
ability. As literary writer and erudite
historian few can claim to be his equal.
The degree was wisely conferred and be-
slows an honor not only on Colonel Mar.
tin, but Virginia, his mother State.-Nor-

Colonel Martin is the father OF Mr.. Geo.
A. Martin, who lives two miles east OF

we'll known by many of our people; but in
recent years he has rarely come to Taze'

known to the younger people. His friends
in Tazewell will be pleased to know of the
distinguished honor which has been con-
ferred upon him by the Nashville Col
lege of Laws" and all will unite in wish
ing that he may for many years wear and
enjoy the honors he has so worthiy won.

Meeting of Supervisors.

The county board Of Supervisors met on
Monday, the 25th inst, Messrs. M. +.
Neel, and ]. Ed. Peery being present. All
outstanding claims against the county
that were due were audited and ordered
to be paid, with one exception.
Mr.. V. L. Sexton, as counsel for the
town of Pocahontas, presented an account
for very large sum against the county,
which said town claims to have expended
on account of smallpox that existed in
Pocahontas during the years 1901 and
1902. The account runs from the 2nd of
November, 1901, to the 1st of July, 1902,
and is for the sum OF $5,l32.75. OF that
amount $2,41O.25 was for physicians fees,
claimed to have been paid to Drs. Haller
and Stump. The period embraced in the
account is eight months, and the physi'
clans charges equal $40 per day for each
day during that period. The board of
supervisors refused to pay the account,
and we suppose the matter will have to be
settled by law suit.

with few exceptions. Every dwelling
and outbuilding in the path of the tornado
was blown to pieces, and the financial loss
thus far accounted for, will reach about
100000.
The family of Peter Hockinson, nine in
number, was reunited late today. They
lived near Norman and were separated by
the storm, it being feared at first that
most of them had been killed. There
were two tornadoes, both originating with
in mile of Fairfield. The first one moved
to the northwest and the second off to the
southwest. The one to the northwest did
the greater damage and all the fatalities
seem to have been in its path. The great
est loss of property was sustained by far
mers. The heaviest individual loss re-
ported is that suffered by Charles Taylor,
who places the damage to his stock farm,
including cattle and horses killed at $2l,-
600.

THOUSANDS STARVING IN CHINA
Consul McWade, of Philadelphia, Gives
Far Beyond his Means.

Washington, May 25.-United States
G ynsul General McWade, at Canton
under date of April Z, sent to the State
Department a detailed report of the ia
mine conditions in kwangsi in support OF
his cabIed appeal for help. He says that
heads of families in their desperation, were
selling their children for from 81 to $5
each, yet SO many we're the offerings and
so few were the purchasers, that not all
could be sold even at this price.
Mr.. McWade said that he had con-
tributed far beyond his means and would
have given more had he the money. In
one village 200 people perished from
starvation, and he said unless relief came
soon thousands aud thousands will starve.
Whole families are subsisting on few
ounces of rice day and are eating herbs
and leaves.

Shot from Ambush.

On last Friday morning, the 22nd inst,
at about 8 O'Clock, +. T. Rose known as
Temple Rose) was shot and killed on the
right hand fork of Indian Creek. The
scene of the tragedy is in Tazewell county
and sixteen or eighteen miles west of the
court house, near Harman, and three
fourths of a mile from the home of the
deceased. He was on his way to grist
mill when killed.
On Thursday afternoon at about five
O'Clock Geo. Harrison, deputy U. s. Mar
shal. went to the home of Rose and sum-
moned him as witness before U. S.
Commissioner T. A. Gillespie, at Cedar
Bluff on the 23rd inst, against I. A. Alti-
zer, who is charged with illicit distilling
1t is thought by the neighbors of Rose
that his being a witness in this case. was
the occasion of his death.
Rose was shot twice with shotgun, The
first shot struck him under the left shoul-
der and while he was on bis horse. After
he fell from lis horseIhe was shot second
time, then in the head. The shot were
evidently of small calibre and fired at
short range, as one hundred and fifty
shot holes were found in this body. The
man who did the shooting had concealed
himself behind tree which stood about
fifteen steps from the road.
The deceased was 81 Or 63 years old and
was IA good citizen. A sad feature OF his
death is that it leaves five orphan grand
children he was raising without any one
to care for them.
1t is not positively known who COM
mtted the homicide, but deputy marshal
Harrison is on the track of the offender
and will be likely to run him down.

New York, May 25.-President NichO-

velt's personal popularity throughout the
West is boundless, and that he is the only
logical candidate for the Republican party

Dr. Butler talked freely Of tue trip today.

sentence" said the doctor. ''The West

earners and farmers gave him royal well

made clear the fact that he had their i'm

will strive to work up an anti Roosevelt
sentiment upon foundation Of so-called
anti.imrerialism or indiscrimlnate tariff

thoroughly dead that one can hardly
credit its strength of only seven years ago.
"What impressed me most was the en-
tbusiasm aroused everywhere by the Presi-
dent. Republicans, Democrats and labor

Democratic Governor of Nevada intro
duced President Roosevelt as a second
