A CARD.
From Mr.. C. B. SIemp.

EDITOR TAzEwELL REPUBLICAN
l have just read an article in the Bristol
Herald of May 9th, signed by one Luke
Dixon.
The general tone Of the article is too low
and contemplate to deserve even a pass
ing notice, yet,- as some of the matters
mentioned therein have been the subject
of discussion in the press of the district,
desire to make brief reply to some OF bis
statements and more particularly 30 since
the article contains reflections on my
fathers official record. l will not lower
Try self-respect by indulging in an ex-
change of personalities with Mr.. Dixon,
nor do care to look up his record as
man or as politician. His own article
with Its venomous spirit and malicious
statements are sufficient condemnation
without reference to bis past life or record.
Under present political conditions IN the
Ninth District no one can be deceived into
the belief that this slanderous article is
intended to promote the interests OF the Re-
publican party to which Mr.. Dixon claims
to belong, but rather from its spirit that 1t
originated in personal "spleen" and dis
appointment. One would scarcely be-
leve from bis continued references to
consistency" that he, who now throws
his billingsgate at nearly every Office
holder in the district, was ever himself In
fected with the ofice-seeking germ and
that for months after my fathers election
to Congress he (Mr. Dixon) was trying to
secure the assistant postmasterahip in the
City of Bristol The fact is, however, that
be was a persistent applicant for that
place. There being no vacancy there
was no chance for Mr.. Dixon or for any
one else to receive 1t.
Mr.. Dixon's charges when summarized
are that Col. Slemp took part in the Lee
county convention for the nomination OF
county officers, that he took part in the
Wise county primary, that he appointed
lis daughter as bis secretary, that he de-
sired 10 elect his son myself } as District
Chairman, and that be made appoint
ments in the district unsatisfactory to MIR.
Dixon. The facts are, that Col. Slemp
took no part whatever in the Republican
nomination for county officers in Lee
county. He voted IN the Wise county
primary as matter of course, but the
statements made by Mr.. Dixon regarding
his position among the candidates are un-
quali6edly false AS to the appointment
of my sister as his secretary, will not en-

UNITED STATES MAY FIGHT
0fRolals Likely to Send Troops Against
Moroccan Bandits.

Washington, D. c., Sunday. High of.
icials of the administration are consider
ing the expediency of making war on the
Moroccan bandits if France declines to
order troops and assume responsibility for
their punishment. These officials have
discussed the best methods Of procedure
and reached the conclusion that nothing
but cavalry, used to campaigning In a
mountainous country would be of service.
1t was at first suggested that several
hundred marines should be landed at Tan
gier and mounted. They would be sent in
pursuit of the kidnappers Of Ion Perdicaris
and bis step son.
This was considered inadvisable as the
marines would not be experienced in that
kind of warfare. II any expedition is sent
it will comprise trained cavalrymen from
the United States.
The President and general staff think
this government should send an armed ex-
pedition after the brigands. Secretary
Hay and other administration officials dis
courage the idea and think France should
take all necessary steps. There has been
no intimation that France will do this, but
Mr.. Hay feels sure she will take action be-
fore Great Britain or the United States
sends an armed force into the Sultan's
country.
Navy department officials compute that
Admiral Chadwick on the Brooklyn will
reach Tangier tonight. His three other
ships should arrive there tomorrow. Ad-
miral Jewell's European squadron is due

cse. Never strong man physically
Senator Quay prided himself on his en-
durance. and believed firmly that outdoor
Iif. would restore him to health and give
him ears longer lease OF Ift.
A GREAT EATER.
Colonel Quay, in health, WAS great
eater, and his trouble of late years dated
from overdraughts on his vital System due
to heavy eating, smoking and the great
nervous strains which be underwent.

ton had cleared up in the State Quay de-
cided upon long outing. Accompanied

THINKS IAPS WILL WIN.
General Funston Says They Are Best
Soldiers in the World.

lola, Kas., May 31.-General Fred
Funston, who is visiting his parents here
says the Japanese are the best soldiers in
the world. In discussing the Russo
Japanese war he said
II believe the Japanese are going to
win. They have evidently made up their
minds to take Port Arthur at any cost.
Without doubt they can take it If they
are willing to pay the price, but it will be
done at appalling loss Of life. The Japan
ese are probably the best soldiers in the
world. don't mean to say that Ameri'
can troops could not cope with them, but
our soldiers do fear death, while the
Japanese seem actually to court it,"

London, May 3l.-Reports received
here confirm the statement that the
Japanese plan to advance toward Port
Arthur on June Is and expect to take the
city within five days.
Correspondents for foreign papers in
Toxic have received permission to sail on
the 10th, so as to be able to witness the
attack on Port Arthur.
So confident are the Japanese Of taking
the town that they have already asked
the Chinese government to take possession
of Port Arthur and hold it as soon as 1t
has fallen into Japanese hands.

The wedding was April 5, an ideal wedding day. sunshine. clear air and the song Of many birds filled the heart with glad- ness. There were seventy-five invita- tions issued, and the home of the bride was filled with joyous guests. The rooms were decorated with potted plants and there was bower of laurel and ground pine across a corner of the parlors, where the Rev. J. L. R. Wyck- off took his stand Miss Helen Far rand, cousin of the bride, played the wedding march, and just as the clock struck twelve, Austin Isham, brother of the bride, and MT.

CONSOLATION FOR HER ILLS.

If there is anything that will cure one of envy it is to cultivate the person of whom one is anxious" said the philosophical girl. ''I never feel dis contented very long if only can get a near view of what has made me un- happy. Sometimes it seems as if I would be perfectly happy if only I had the leisure of some of my well-to-do friends. Then I clap on my hat and jacket and go to spend an hour with one of them. find them boring them selves to death, deyising all sorts of schemes to kill time and signing be- cause their life is not ful of snap and business as mine is.
 ssWhen I have a big longing for an extensive wardrobe I just run over to call on my next door neighbor, who has a new gown nearly every hour. I dis cover her in stew about them, fuss ing with dressmakers all the time and grooming because she must determine what to put on. Then I congratulate myself that I have only three gowns to my name, and so am never unde- cided what to wear.
 Sometime it seems as if I would be supremely happy if I only had a pretty face, and then I cultivate that little Miss Doll Pretty. And do you know she is very much concerned if the tiniest wrinkle appears on that pink and white complexion of hers and that she is extremely jealous of any other good looking girls, and that sometimes she cries because she will grow old some day and be no longer pretty ? Well, she does; and so come to the conclusion that my plain face is a good sight more comfortable.
 And I'll confess 8 secret to you, and don't you breathe it to anyone Once in awhile once in a. long while I get woefully sick of single blessedness and believe I'd like to marry any man who was respectable and kind. But few visits to my married friends cure me They are just weighed down by little responsibilities which would drive me crazy in 8 short time; they must humor 8 whimsical lord and master and they must be at the beck and call of small children, who are very sweet little things for a few hours, but terrible nuisances for a longer time than that. My sweet independence for me! I go back to my little two by four room and am thankful that there is no one to share it with me and that I do not have to put out the cat and lock up the house before retiring.-Philadelph Public Ledger.
