REPUBLICAN DISAFFECTION.

The Democrats OF the Ninth District
are laying the foundation for over
whelming defeat In the next election by
calculating gains through the supposed
Republican disaffection in the ranks OF
the party. Past experience should
have proven this 10 us long ago but
some Democrats are slow TO learn.
Republicans will. quarrel-kiek up d
great mqss in their own ranks. but
when election day comes around will
cast II solid, united vote. Sometimes
these disaffections in the ranks will
serve as blill-a move TO deceive the
enemy-to make-believe they are hope.
lessly divided, and Democrats become
lethargic, and take It for granted that
the Republicans will defeat themselves
Such hopes. built upon such founda
'tion are utterly deceptive,
Nothing but hard work, pruednt anC
judicious planrmg-everlastingly anC
eternally at 1t, is the only nope Of the
party in this district.
i Let no man deceive himself, OF ALLOW
himself 10 be deceived. The Republi
cans seldom do foolish things when 1
comes to a close fight, and don't for
get it.

WILL THE BIG BATTLESHIP 0Gp

Congress has ordered that no more
large battleships be built for our navy,
pending investigation and experiment
as to their utility. The war now wag'
ing between Russia and Japan, In
which the big ships are playing an I'M
portant part, Is being closely watched
by naval officers and experts, with a
view of helping in the question. There
are some good reasons why the large
battleships should be abandoned. One
is. they are unwieldy. Their immense
length and size necessitating a number
OF ponderous engines, immense tons OF
coal, provisions etc, render them too
heavy too be readily handled or man.
oeuvered, or 10 permit OF sufficient
speed Add to this the ponderous
guns, ammunition, etc. they carry, and
you get some idea OF their immense
size and weight.
Again, they are too costly. From
one and half 10 two and half mil
lion dollars each is what they cost.
Add TO this the cost OF running and
navigating them, and the entire expense
is immense. Again. they expose the
lives OF large number OF men. A
thousand men, Tor thereabouts) hud-
died together. is a great exposure OF
human life. No battleship yet con-
structed, however plated is proof
against the largest gun. When fairly
struck by large shell she goes down,
and all on board with her The carry
ing Of large quantities of explosives,
powder and men on a single ship Is I'M
wise and OF great risk.
The big guns and ships ARE all right
for storming land batteries and forts
perhaps, but even here are not always
sufficient. For sea lighting. the dead
ly torpedo tube and boat is more e.
fective than the warship. and exposes
the lives OF but few men.
1t seems pretty weH established now
that the large Russian battleship, with
all her crew, was sent TO the bottom 10y
n torpedo.
1t may be, as it seems il ought TO be
that the submarine boat and torpedo
will, when, brought to their highest per
lection, substitute the big engines OF
war.

HIGHLANDS, Va, May 30.
ST. Clair Stuart, who is with Nc
Corxle Il Sons at Big Greek, was here
yesterday.
Mrs. o. n. Hill was here Yesterday,
the guest OF Mrs. e. G.. CopeDhever.
She left for Tazewell TO day TO visit her
father, Mr.. w. o. Whitman.
We notice that Luke Dixon comes
out in a warm article against Colone,
Slemp, in last weeks issue OF the Bris-
tol Herald. What about the name
Black Buzzard? The article Is certain
ly pointed and throws hot shot ut the
Colonel from all sides and too, ii seems
that some OF the other Slempites were
struck by stray shot OF two in the
article. The characteristic OF the ar
ticle is that it is undoubtedly true to
the letter, and it shows very clearly
that Slemp only sought his seat in
Congress for his personal benefit, fl
nancially speaking, not once consider
ing the interests OF those who were in
strumental in electing him, and not
once considering the interests OF any
one until his immediate relations and
his families wants were attended to.
The Colonel got bill passed provid-
ing for session OF the Federal Court
at Big Stone Gap, it is true, but why
do you Republicans and Slempites
keep eternally harping on that, and
praising the Colonel "from whom all
blessings flow? You have nothing to
boast about on this point, because
when you come right down TO weigh
the matter up for what it is worth, "a
Democrat OF Southwest Virginia" really
had more TO do with obtaining this pro-
vision for Federal Court at Big Stone
Gap, and getting the bin passed, than
Colonel Stem did. / do not believe /
Democrat was the sole instrument used
in getting this bill passed. In conclud-
ing wish To say TO Mr.. Dixon that
too regret that the Colonel had handed
out all the pie to his "hungry sons and
daughters and other relations" but lets
not worry over the matter, as the
stool will be kicked from under him in
the coming election. and he will fail
from the pie counter and hit the floor
hard lick, with no one to pick him up
except his private Secretary and Dep
uty Collector. They'll all three get
flowery beds OF ease before they get
another dip at the counter. So HE ye
away to the flowery beds OF ease anc
rest easy as to the result OF the mex

we think the ABOVE is a conservative
estimate. There are good men who
would give as much, or smaller
amounts. But these amounts could be
given by these gentlemen and not hurt
them in the least. The S1O5, 100000
would grade and equip the line, pro-
vided the right Of way was given, which
we assume would be the case. More
money could be easily obtained. The
merchants OF Tazewell, who would re-
ceive large benefits from the road, it is
fair to assume, would be glad to see
the line built, and would take a goodly
share OF stock. or course, the ques-
ton is, will these men give these
