ed article las well as in its predecessors)
is 30 very liliputian that even its infini-

The said article is epistolary, informa-

thanks to the article under diagnosis.
this strange delusion has been electro

that the Baptists have John Calvin as

The Appointment of the New Sheriff.

The Tazewel Republican, in it's issue
OF January 18th, contained an article.
which disapprovcs and condemns the
action Of the Judge of the County
Court in appointing Mr.. f. King Crock
cit to iii the uncxpircd term or the
Shcriflality made vacant by the death
OF Mr.. James Bandy.
1t Is not the least surprising that the
Republican should take that view OF
the matter. That paper il proverbially
noted for it's extremely partizan views
ON all matters that in any wise concern
the Republican party, and It's dcta on
questions of this kind must not ALWAYS
be blndly swallowed as " the law a ad
gospel" nor can it's judgement always
be accepted as safe standard by
which TO measure public sentiment.
The article referred To states that
the appointment Of Mr.. Il. King Crock
EFT was very peculiar, because at the
election in May, 1899, Mr.. Bandy was
elected Sheriff of the county, John w.
Crockett running On his tickett as his
deputy, and because these two gentle
men had then been sheriff OF the coun-
ty alternately for twenty years"
The fact that MIR John Crockett was
interested as deputy in the race made
by Mr.. Bahdy against Mr. King Crock
EFT and the further fact that the gentle
men had held the position for the period
Of two nty wears did not constitute any
good or valid reasons why the Office Il
Sheriff. which is n public trust, should
be treated by the Court as species o.
private property TO be handed down
ad inflnitum as n personal asset.
The article mentioned also states
that T.. King Crockett, the appoint ee
was repudiated by large majority of
the people Of the county.
1t is true that MI. Bandy's majority
over Mr.. Crockett was about 600. But
let us look further: Is it not fact
that the illiteratc colored vote OF the
county east at the election was about
/ 1000? And is it not further fact that
there were several hundred venal float
l ing votes east at that election, and we
all know that practically the whole OF
the colored vote and the big portion OF
] the said floating vote was secured foI
the Republican ticket? 1t is obvious
therefore, il we eliminate the illiterate
colored vote and the venal floating
S vote, which have been eliminated. foi
the most part. under the new constitu
81 ton, that +. King Crockett himself re.
S ceived large majority Of the votes o.
81 the property owners and taxpayers o.
4 the county, who to-day constitute tn,
4 electorate Of the county; and we sc,
S nothing peculiar or improper in the ac
ton Of the court in appointing TO thu
position the man, who had been honor
a ed with the majority vote Of the prop
q erty owners and tax payers Of tn
county. On the contrary, it was but fl
and right, under the circumstances, 70
f. King Crockett to be appointed.
Suppose the case reversed ard i'm
