been at one where sorrow and sympathy
so universally prevailed. Every heart
WAS full of sympathy and every eye was
dimmed with tears. No sweeter eulogy
could be pronounced on any mans life
and character. A very tender and ap-
propriate address was delivered by the
pastor, and short addresses by Mr.. j. A.
Leslie and Rev. g. w. Hairless. Then
came one of the tenderest and most
pathetic scenes we have ever witnessed.
The father standing by the casket OF the
son told of the wonderful, peculiar love
that had bound father and son together.
and gave bis testimony as to the high
character and soul purity of bis dead child.
1t was sad duty for a father to perform
but he felt that be owed such a tribute
to his boy, and he wanted 10 do good
to the living by showing his faith in
God aud making of this deep affiictlon a
blessing. During the services the songs
the deceased had loved we're sung, among
them, "Neyer Alone" mot One For
gotten" 'Some Sweet Day" and "Chris-
tlan's Good Night"
When the services were concluded at
the church, the remains were taken in
charge by the Knights of Pythias. The
deceased was a member and chief officer
of the lodge at this place; and the men,
bers of bis lodge with others from Poca-
hontas, Graham and other points escorted
the body to the grave at the new ceme-
terry. There the burial was conducted by
the Pythians With their beautiful cere'
mony.
For the wife and two little orphans, the
mother and father, the four sisters and
three brothers every one in this commun'
ity feels the tenderest sympathy. They
have lost faithful and loving dear one,
the town and county a good and useful
citizen.
Below we publish letter which shows
what kind of a son and boy,he was: ~
LETTER FROM RUFUS A. HARMAN To HIS
MOTHER.
The following letter was written by
Rufus A. Harman to his mother from
Georgel, Wise County, Va, FIVE years ago
when he was stenographer for the coal
company at Toms Greek, he being eigb-
teen years Of age at the time;
"Georgel, Va, Sept. S, 1899.

81 have just received your letter and
was SO glad to hear from you. Uh, l

me. That song to me is 80 true: There

one who can take the place cf mother.
In later years begin to reilize what \

she first loved nae.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

We see that a Democratic correspon-
dent at Honaker, Va, writes that Mr..
Wysor will get three hundred majority.
That correspondent must be ill-inforined
as to sentiment or he must know that the
machine contemplstes another raid on the
ballot boxes in Russell county. There was
an honest election in that county two years
ago-the first one for number OF
years-and the county went oyerwhel-
miugly Republican. The Republicans are
resolved to have an honest election In the
county this year, and If there is one Col.
Slemp will carry it by a good majority. Let
the Democratic ballot manlpulators be
warned that the people are not going to be
trified With or cheated. A repetition Of the
ballot box stufing at Carterton, Swords
Creek and, perhaps other precincts in the
county, of two years ago will be punished
in such way as to strike terror to ballot
thieves.
Slemp is for Protection, the principle or
policy that has been developing the great
material wealth Of the Ninth District.
wysor is for free trade. the principle that
kept that wealth undeveloped until few
years ago. The people haye lived under
a protective tariff during the sdminstrs-
tions of Mckinley and Roosevelt, and
they struggled to live under the free trade
administration f Grover Cleveland. viii

do they want TO return to Free Trade
and Adversely?
Everywhere that Colonel Slemp goes in
the Ninth District he is met by large
crowds of the solid voters. On last Mon
day at Newcastle, in the rock-ribbed
Democratic county of Craig, he had a
much larger crowd than did his opponent,
Mr.. Wysor. The people are heartily sick
of Democracy, and If we are not mistaken
they will roll up splendid majority in the
district for Slemp.
Governor Montague, the "Red Fox" OF
Virginia politics, will speak at Tase-
we'll, tomorrow night, the 18th inst. We
suspect be is coming here to try to
catch some Martin geese, for We are sure
he must know that he can win no Repub-
lIcans. They remember the pledges Mr..
Montague made in a speech here four
years ago, that no honest white man
should be difranchised and that the new
constitution should be submitted to the
people. Remembering how those pledges
were violated by Mr.. Montague's party
they will have no confidence in any prom
ise he may now make,
In his speech at Gate City last Monday
Governor Montague said "The Demo-
cratic party proposes to give you blessings,
it will take away many Of the yokes now
about your neck, it will be a case Of
special privileges to none, equal aud exact
Justice to ALL" Mr.. Montague told the
people of Tazewel fur years ago that the
Democratic party in Virginia proposed to
give them many blessings. When the
blessings (?) came they were proclaimed
constitution and suffrage law that has
disfranchised ten thousand white men in
the Ninth District. MIR. Montague ought
to be reminded Of these promised bless
ings.

left leg was dislocated at the thigh. There
we're number of cuts and bruises about
his head, and he must have suffered the
most excruciating agony. A peculiar
circumstance ia that both of Barrow 8
lanterns had heen extinguished.
"The deceased was aged "a years, and
was born and reared at Dublin, Pulaksi
county. Va. About ten years ago he re-
moved with his mother and brother anu
sisters to this city, and during his resi-
dence here had gained host of friends,
by whom the news of his death will be re-

LATEST WAR NEWS FROM THE FAR
EAST.

Toxic, October 11.-It is reported here
that the Japanese have checked the Rus
sian advance, and have recaptured the
positions which the Russians, crossing the
Hun river earlier, had taken after hard
fight.
The japanese we're reinforced after be-
ing driven out, and took the aggressive,
hurting back General Kuropatkin's troops.
The losses on both sides were heavy.
The Japanese gunboat Heiyen struck a
mine near Port Arthur and was sunk.
The crew numbered 250 sonls, and of
these only four were saved.
DESPERATE FIGHT NOW IN PROGRESS
Mukden, October 1l.-Tbe Japanese
have now assumed the offensive, and the
Russians retreated across the Schili river,
half way between Mukden and Lao Yang.
Later the Russians recrossed the Schili,
and desperate fight is now in progress
six miles north of Yentai.
WORLD ABOUT TO SEE TURNING OF SCALES.
London, Oct. 11.-Europe today has
curiously divergent views Of the announc-
ed advance of Gen. Kuropalkin from
Mukden. Rus-ias opponents cay the
move is but bluff in order to forestall an
impending Japanese advance. On the
other hand, there is noteworthy growth
of opinion that the world is about to see o
turning of scales, aud that from this time
ON Russia viii be a general winner ss
Japan has been heretofore. British
military experts point out that now fol
the first time since crossing the YAlu
River Kuropatkln is contemplating pat-
tie without the possibility of defeat or an
nihilation. Nothing definite, however, il
known as to the magnitude Of he Russian
success so far, and the pro-Japanese ele'
ment cling to the belief that Marsha
Oyama is merely Turing the Russians OIL
to disaster.

CRUSHED UNDER
CAR WHEELS
John Barrow a Rlasman Was Killed al
BurkeS Garden Switch.

On last Monday morning John Barrow,
fiagman on tie Cliuch Valley Division,
was fatally injured by being run over by
an engine near Burkes Garden Switch
From the Bluefeld Telegraph of fllth inst,
we get the following account of the un'
fortunate accident:
"The accident occurred near Burke's
Garden, q short distance this side OF Tsze-
well, abont O'Clock yesterday morning,
and the injured man was brought to Blue
field about o'clock and taken to the sana-
torium here, where every means known
10 medical skill was employed to save his
life, but without avail. The physicians
had realized from the first that his in
iuries were necessarily fatal, and when the
spark of life went out few minutes before
IL o'clock no surprise was occasioned.
'Mr. Barrow was conscious during the
morniug hours and recognized his sister,
Hiss Jennie. He also recognized and
talked with his brother, George, and un-
+. dertook to tell the latter how his injuries
we're received. His statements were con-
fiicting, however, and it is more than
probable that bis mind was wandering at
the time and that be had only a vague
idea of what be was saying. He first
stated that he had been knocked in the
head and left helpless on the track. He
appeared to be perfectly rational at the
time, but a few minutes later he made
another statement to bis brother, which
was to the effect that he had fallen from
the train and been run over. Still later
lie said be thought he must have fallen
asleep on the track. One of the wounds
on his head--a long, ugly gash-was ol
such nature as to cause some OF those
Who viewed the remains to accept bis
statement that be had been knocked IN
Toe head as the most plausible explana-
tion of bis death.
"Mr. Barrow was fagman on the. train
that pulled the Main shows into Tazewell
end near Burke's Garden he was dropped
of to protect the train by tagging any
other train that might approach. 1t wa
arranged that the engine Of the show
train, which was to run light to BluehelC
sfter placing the show cars at Tazeweil
should stop and pick Mr.. Barrow up
However, when the engine on It's return
.trip reached the point where the hagmar
had been dropped. be was nowhere to b'
eeen. The crew were not alarmed by hli
non-appearance, supposing that he hac
walked into Tazewell, and thinking thai
he would come back on later train, the
engineer proceeded on bis way to Blue
aeId.
"He had gotten nearly to Graham wher
ne learned that bis own engine, the on'
which was tc pick the fsgman up, hsC
struck and fatally injured young Barrow
The young mans right arm was crushed
