His eloquence at times was truly great
There was just enough OF the "old.
time" about his manner to attract and
hold attention, while his earnest sim
plicity made his words burn like fire.
We feel sure we do not exaggerat.
when we say that Mr.. Wilson never
entertained for one moment doubt OF
the truths which he preached. or of his
own acceptance with his God. There
were no "perhapses" with him. When
the Book spoke controversy ended
and the Book always spoke TO his
simple and trusting faith i'm "A known

His partriarchal form and calm face
and gentle voice will be seen aud heard
no more among us. He rests from his
labors-has entered upon an exceed
ing great and rich reward. The path he
trod is left luminous and bright with a
trail OF glory.
This tribute IS weak We know, but
we cannot resist the desire TO lay an
humble flower upon the grave Of one
OF the best men who has ever lived.

ever had. Peace TO his ashes We hope

REV. NJ. A. WILSON.

Rev. NJ. \. Wilson, who passed
away on the list, at his home in Coe-
burn, was well-known and beloved In
Tazewell, and his death is regretted
here by host of friends. He took an
active part in the organization OF the
Baptist church in this town, and ALWAYS
manifested "a deep interest in it's affairs
He was known as the church builder o.
the Baptist denomination in Virginia
having built about l6 churches in Vir.
ginia and West Virginia, during a min.
istry OF about thirty years. Constitu.
tionally weak, the amount of labor he
performed was amazing. For years he
rode horse back over the mountains OF
Virginia, winter and summer, with
crutch, cane and pillow as essential and
] indispensable helps TO a weak and emac-
lated body. The writer OF these lines
has seen him stand in water 20 his
waist for an hour at u time, supported
by some friend at his side, and baptize
scores or people, and then, after an
hours rest proceed on his weary but
willing way TO perform like services at
other points. For years his physical
condition was such as would have dis
couraged the majority of men, and put
them permanently out ofactive service.
The latter years of his life were better
than the beginning. Several months
stay at the Hot Springs in Arkansas
some years ago, greatly improved his
health, so that his last years were
spent comparatively free OF ply steal
pain and suffering, such as attended
the earlier years of his ministry. The
State Mission Board OF the Baptist
denomination Of Virginia, in whose en-
ploy he labored all his life, never had a
more faithful servant, and the numer-
Gus church houses which he built are
eloquent monuments to his memory.
Mr.. Wilson was not learned in the
schools. Like his master, he began life
an humble carpenter, and was called
from the work bench to the pulpit. He
read few books, his active, itinerant life
prohibiting. He knew his Bible. To
him it was all open book. His sermons.
never what, in these days would be
considered strong" were marvels of
simplicity and earnestness, and ALWAYS
evangelical. The last sermon he
preached in Tazewell, about "A year
ago, while collecting money to complete
his church at Norton, will not be soon
forgotten. 1t WAS a finely conceived
discourse on Partnership with God"
He took a wide scope, commencing at
Genesis, with the Fall of man. and
going through to Revelation, as many
of the older ministers were In the habit
Of doing, he swept the whole field of the
human and divine in the plan Of re-
demption, as he saw ii and believed il.
aud the writer, who had heard him ON
many occasions, felt sure be had never
heard him preach quite 70 well as then.

TRANSFERRED NORTH.

The discussion Of the race question
promises to be warm in the Northern
States. Northern states ale largely i'll
terested in the Southern States. and
the race problem, if Mr.. Roosevelt is
elected, promises to disturb business
relations and conditions in the South,
say some of the leading papers. Dem
ocratic speakers will probably be sent TO
Northern states to discuss this ques
ton before Northern audiences.
1t is impossible now to keep tins
question out Of the campaign.
The Republicans forced this question
by their platform at Chicago, in un-
mistakable terms, and if it proves
troublesome to them, as it is and will
they have no one to blame but them
selves. The Democrats are only
lighting the devil with fire" in the
same Cd way.

Fatal Shooting
on Indian Greek

News reaches 1azewell OF bloody
and fatal duel which took place on In.
dian Creek, on the north side OF the
County, not far from the West Virginia
line, between the Whitakers, Altizers
and Stinson.
Noah Altizer was killed. Lee and
Bill Whitaker and John Stinson were
seriously shot.
The trouble occurred at a meeting
house where the primitive Baptists
were holding service.
Just what caused the fight is not
known and details cannot be given at
this time. 1t is known that bad blood
has existed between the Whitakers and
Atlizers for years, and the late out
break is supposed to be due to this
feud.
Since writing the above we learn
that the shooting occurred on Whitak-
ers Ridge, near school house which
was burned on last Friday night. A
meeting was in progress at the school
house at the time, In which the Whita-
kers took a prominent part. After
the burning the meeting was con-
tinued in a grove, and 1t seems from
the best we can learn that the shoot
ing grew out OF the burning OF the
the school house, in some
manner. 1t appears that Grove Altizer
was also wounded.

THAT STLOUIS LAWYER AND +. THE
SCOTT COUNTY BALLOT"

SCOTT COUNTY BALLOT"
Our neighbor, the Tazewell Re
publican, has wonderful story in
last weeks issue, OF "a Tazewell visitor
TO St.Louis, who, while there met
with leading lawyer Of that city,
and gave him little insight into
some, Or at least one. of the dark
tricks of Ninth District politics. He,
the Tazewell visitor selected the
Scott county ballot" famous in the
political history of Scott county, as
fair sample of Democratic methods
in Virginia. The ST. Louis lawyer,
lying in city made notorious by
Its frauds and thefts, seems to have
been so much interested AS to ask
that copy of sand ballot Ie sent
him, whereuP1n copy Of the Taze-
we'll Republican, containing facsi-
mile of the ballot, was at once for
warded TO the aforesaid S.. Louis
lawyer, who pronounced it"flagrant,n
1.-THE only one Of ITS Kind in the
world" etc. The Republican adds
The man who invented the in
famous DEVICE and used it and the
one who plofited 10y it are high in the
esteem Of the Virginia Democracy
etc.
The selection of TIE Scott county
ballot as an object lesson on political
methods in Virginia by the Tazewell
visitor, was peculiarly unfortunate
and unwise. If possible we will get
the address Of the aforesaid St.Louis
lawyer, and send him marked COPY
OF the News containing an account of
the poll tax charges against Mr..
Sloan the Republican County Chair
man of this same Scott county,
wherein it is charged and not denied
that Mr. Sloan paid the poll taxes of
400 Republican. voters of that county
recently, i'll positive violation of the
suffrage laws of the State, and ask
said lawyer to look on that picture,
then on this, and let him decide
whether or not it is case of the
kettle calling the pot black. We
would also use the language of our
esteemed contemporary. and say tn at
the man who winks at, if he is not
actually behind this Infamous
move, stands''in high esteem" among
Virginia Republicans. in fact is a
candidate for Congress in this same
Ninth District, and that "the promise
that we are to have fair elections in
Scott county at least, is very slim
one indeed. We repeat, the selec-
ton Of the Scott county ballot by
the Republican visitors to ST. Louis,
as a sample of political methods in
Virginia was peculiarly unfortunate
for his side of the case.
1t is the veriest bypocricy to COM

neighbors door, when your own front

Proceedings of
Circuit Court

Henry Young, who was charged with
causing the death OF a man by the
aame OF Davis near Cedar Bluff last
June, was tried in court last Saturday
and sentenced TO six months in jail and
small fine. Young's conviction was
purely on circumstantial evidence. as
! no one was present when he had the
difficulty with Davis. What saved
Young from long term in the peni.
tertiary, possibly, was the fact that a
local doctor at Cedar Bluff examined
the dead man, and his opinion was that
the man came to his death by the use
OF drugs. A hole was ia the back of
the mans head, but it is thought that
the fall was the cause Of that. The
particulars Of the killing were given in
Tuesdays Daily Telegraph.
The trial OF Thos. X. Leedy, for the
killing of Walter Harris on the passen-
ger train at Graham last January. has
been postponed until the December
term OF court. The trial was set for
last Thursday, but on account Of the
defense's inability to get witnesses here
by that time the trial was again post
poned.

kill "a woman he had been living with
at Pocahontas. was tried and acquitted
in court last Saturday.
