Everything VIII be Ready.

The Tazewell Fair for 1908 will open
nextsTuesday, the 9th inst, and will con-
tinue for three days. The gentlemen who
have the matter in charge have given 1t
much valuable time and attention. From
present indications their labor will be re-
warded with success. Everything points
to a splendid exhibition. The county
people seem to be taking much interest IN
it. and from what we can learn there will
be large crowds of visitors from other
counties, cities aud towns. 1t may be
that our town will be put to a considerable
strain to entertain the large crowds that
will be here.
The character Of the exhibits depends
largely on our own people. They ought
to be in keeping with the reputation the
county has for all kinds of live stock. Our
horses and cattle will compare faVorably
with any in Southwest Virginia; and we
hope our graziers and breeders OF hne
horses will see that the horse and cattle
departments are we'll filled with entries.
The premiums offered in the various de-
partmenls are liberal, but that should not
be chief inducement for exhibitors. Local
pride should be the frat consideration.
There is no doubt about the character
of amusements. The racing, trap shoot
ing, base ball and tennis games will be III
teresting to those who enjoy such sports,
and there will be a tournament which
should draw large crowd. A number OF
young men are now ipracticing each day
for the tournament and some fine riding
is expected.
The Fair will furnish splendid oppor-
unity for persons from all over the county
10 meet each other and make it an eX-
cellent social gathering. Music will be
furnished by the Dublin Brass Band and
hat will be enough to attr act large
crowds.

Noah Raby, I32.Years old Pauper Dying.

New Brunswick, N. j., Sept. 28.-Noah
Raby, who claims the distinveion Of being
1872 years old, and probably the Oldest liv'
ing man in this section, if not in the en-
tire country, is rapidly sinking and is
likely to die at any time.
For several years past, according to
Mrs. Hummer, matron at the Piscataway
poor farm, the old man has been gradually
weakening and able to leave his bed only
for a short time. His memory is almost
entirely gone, and when he talks he does
so in a mumbling and incoherent manner.
Because of his enfeebled condition he is
unable to take nourishment except In
small quantities. 49,.
Noah appears to realize bis condition
and is seemingly prepared and anxious
for the end to come. He formerly smoked
his pipe several times day, but during
the past few weeks has not once asked for
its solace. Noah has been an inmate OF
the farm for the past forty years.

NIXON DECLARES HE'S A CANDIDATE
ShipbuiIder Seeks Democratic Nomina.
tion for Mayor of New York on
Platform of Honesty in MI
niclpal Government

New York, Sept. 27.-Lewis Nixon to-
night announced that he is a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for Mayor.
He made public statement in which he
said -
Il am a candidates for the Democratic
nomination for Mayor of the city of New
York. This statement is made with full
knowledge of the uncertainties of the
Democratic situation. | desire to make II
clear that am willing to stand with those
Democrats, however small their number,
who believe that the Democratic party of
this city should lead and not follow in the
forward march of municipal REFORM"
Speaking of the municipal campaign
Mr.. Nixon says
The battle will be won or lost on local
issues that are old enough to have gained
a rermanent hold on the public mind.
These issues are police 'blackmall and
that mercenary spirit which breeds dis-
honesty in the public service. To them
may be charged all the palty's recent loss
Of local prestige. The Democracy has not
been beaten on these issues by Repub-
can votes alone by any means. 1t has
been beaten chiefly by Democratic votes.
"The Democratic party Of this city has
all the issues in its favor except these two.
It is easily within its power to throw of
their dead weight when it makes up it's
mind to 10 SO. It's right to Democracy
will be restored as soon as it does"

Wants Fairbanks for Second Place.

Laporte, Ind, Sept. 2S.-The report ls
generally published in this region today
that President Roosevelt has delegated
Congressman Crumpacker, of the Tenth
Indiana district, to ascertain whether
Fairbanks will accept the second place on
the national ticket next year.
Senator Moody undertook the job year
ago, when Fairbanks refused, but negotia-
tions have been renewed on the subject,
and Congressman Crumpacker is expected
to meet with more success.
The president believes it will be good
policy to select the vice presidential candi'
date from Indiana.

Many of them stated that their attention
was attracted to the train by the high
rate of speed at which the train was rum
ming. A.
Two little boys were sitting under the
trest'e at the time and while they escaped
bodily injury one was so badly frightened
that his reason has fled.
The railway officials here are unable TO
account for the accident, except on the
hypothesis that the train was running too
fast when it struck the curve. This curve,
which embraces the trestle, at which point
the wreck occurred, is in the form OF the
lett S, and has always been considered
dAnpererous locality.

WAR CLOUDS LIFT
The Situation Between Bulgaria and Iur'
key More Hopeful.

Sofia, Bul., Sept. 2S.-The situation mere
is much brighter today and the war clouds
appear to have lifted. The porte's assur'
ance that the thirty.two battallons recent
" ordered to proceed from Monastir to
Adrianople will not be moved, has lessened
the apprehensions of the Bulgarian gov
ernment. Further satisfaction is derived
from the fact that NJ. Nathovitch is going
IN Constantinople in the capacity of Bull
garian diplomatic agent. He conducted
the negotiations with the Porte last June
and after their failure returned to Sofia.
The committee appointed for the purpose
at the time of yesterdays demonstration
of II. 600 Macedonians in this city this aft
ernoon waited ON Premier Petrol and
asked him if the government intended to
do ANYTHING to help the Macadonians. M.
Petrol replied that the ministry was acting
in what it conceived to be the best in
terests of Bulgaria and would continue the
same policy.
The spokesman of the committee told
the premier that his reply would not be
to the people and the commit
tee thereupon withdrew.

ian, that political and Governmental dif-
ferentiation would be necessary. Inc
present action Is, in Its general purpose
and outline, in all ways commemorate.
1t is evident that Governor TAFT has a
thorough grasp Of the situation.
But the bill as reported by the news
dispatches contains one or two details
which are open to consideration, and Tor
which it is probable that Governor TAFT
Ia not responsible. One of these relates
to the proposal to pay the Military Gov
ernor of the district a salary of $4,000
year, presumably in addition to his army
nav, Under certain circumstances, it
may be desirable and even necessary TO
increase the pay of an army officer hold
ing a high position where an obligatory
expense for entertainment would leave
him bankrupt. But this is not the case
in Moroland, Zamboanga, Jolo, Gotta
bato and Davao are not social centres,
and the draft upon an official salary at
any OF those points would be less than
that made upon the Captain OF naval
vessel on service, and probably no
greater than that made upon the COM
mander Of Department in the United
States.
The officers of squadron on service
must pay for entertainment from their
own pockets, and Department COM
manders like CHAPTER, BATES and
MAcApTuJrR receiye no increase OF
salary when stationed at Governors
Island, Chicago or San Francisco. These
men are in the service Of the United
States and it is presumed that they are
adequately paid for their services. There
is no apparent reason why bonus OF
81, 900 should 90 paid in the one case and
not in the others. An allowance might
be made for an entertainment fund, but
an allowance of 50, 900 year for that pur-
pose is, under the circumstances, little
short Of absurd.
