Pocahontas, Va, Oct. 27, 1905.
Republican Mistatements.
S. N. Hines,
]. M. Newton,
V. l.. Sexton,
Times Dispatch.l

The Tazewell Republican says:
"The Democratic candidates are OPP
posed to free books. They say it is
wrong for the rich man To be taxed to
buy books for the children of the poor
man."
Wrong in both statements.
First, the Democratic candidates are
not opposed to free books. VIII the
Tazewell Republican quote any state
ment of the Democratic candidates as
sorting that they ''oppose free books?
The Democratic candidates do oppose
any movement TO pay for free books
out of the State treasury. They op-
pose the Maryland plan, which is the
plan of the Republican party, because
it is eXtravagent, wrong in principle
and corrupting. They take the same
position that is taken by twenty-five
of the twenty-six States that have
free-book laws namely, that the
question of free books is a local matter.
to be decided by each school district
for itself
Second, will the Tazewell RepubH-
can quote any statement of the Demo-
cratic candidates to the effect that
they think sit is wrong for the rich
man TO be taxed to buy books for the
children of the poor man.? 1t would
be strange indeed for Democrats to
| say such thing, when the Democratic
party for thirty-five years has had a
Jaw in force to "buy books for the poor
man" at the expense of the local school
funds, whenever the poor man is un-
able TO buy them for his children.
! The Republicans have failed to make
out case against the Democrats on
the school question and on the free
book folly. The Democratic position
is right, as shown by practical exper
ience. The Republican plan has prov
en- to be a failure in Maryland
The Republicans cannot strengthen
the case by making statements which
are not grounded in truth.

Scattered Members of the Family
Meet--A Pleasant Occasion.


On the 25th OF October last Mr.. Jno.
G. Bundy who lives near Liberty Hill.
this county, celebrated the anniversary
of his birth. and made the occasion one
of much pleasure by gathering together
the scattered members of his family
around his hearthstone. There were
present. besides his immediate house
hold, his brothers and sisters as fol
lows: Henry c. Bundy and wife, OF
Kansas City, j. f. and S. j. Bundy
and their wives, Of Russell county, and
John Bundy and wife, nephews. OF
Russell. Sisters, Mrs. S. B. Dorton, OF
Russell, and Mrs. j. II. Dorton, Of
Eckman, w. Va.
OF course, a good time was had.
Once the family gets scattered over the
earth it becomes no easy matter 70
gather them again, all at one time and
at one place, and when this is accom-
plished the occasion is one of peculiar
interest.
This reunion was specially gratifying
to the brothers and sisters of this large
family on account OF the presence of
their brother, IL C. Bundy, who lives in
distant state. Mr.. Bundy is engaged
in stockraising and banking In Mis-
souri,, and has prospered In the state OF
his adoption. He. with his wife return
ed to their home on yesterday.

GRAND RALLY IN
P0CAH0NTAS
Hon. w. Il. Graham. Mayor,
and Democratic Candida e
for Senate, Highly Honor
cd by People of His
Home Town.

The torch light procession and
Grand Rally, last Friday night, in
Pocahontas, was worthy the people
and the occasion. Pocahontas never
does things by halves.
The big affair was gotten up in honor
of their townsman, Mayor w. r.
Graham, who is Democratic candidate
for the Senate from this district. 1t
was nonpolitical. and was participated
in 10y members of both parties heartily
and enthusiastically.
After the street parade, speeches
were made in the Opera House by n
number of gentlemen from Pocahontas
and other sections of the county. The
Opera House was packed. The entire
population of the town, male and fe-
male, old and young, black and white
was represented, and the entire exer-
else were unique and interesting. There
was n chorus of the best music talent
of the community. Patriotic songs
solos, quartettes, etc, were interspers-
ed and everything was fine.
The procession was formed under
the special direction of VIM. Leckie,
Superintendent of the Golfers Com
pany. About 400 people were in line,
each having on a miners cap and
lamp-cavalry and all. A large part
of the crowd carried torches. The
varied colored lights from torches and
lamps lit up the town, and presented
an inspiring and beautiful sight. The
streets were lined with people on all
sides, and the cheering and shouting
was almost continuous from start to
finish. The principal streets were par
AIDED, and everywhere, particularly as
the carriage containing Mayor Graham,
passed, the cheering and waving OF
flags was conspicuous and hearty.
Reaching the Opera House, which
had been tastily decorated for the oc-
casion, Mr.. John l.. Baber, Chairman
called the meeting to order and an
nounced the program
Mr. Baber made good address on
the opening of the best of tho
evening. J. NJ Newton, Dr. g. H
Zimmerman, DIR. J. L. Stump, of Poca
Lontas; Judge S. c. Graham and J. A
Leslie, Of Tazewcll, made short adj
dresses, all of which seemed to b,
well received by the large audience.
A striking feature of the occasion
was the participation of a large mum
Der of school children, in the singing
and also in the parade.
The entire affair reflected grea
honor, not only upon Mr.. Graham, bu
upon the progressive, enthusiastic mel
who got up the meeting. 1t would hav
done credit to a town of large pretcn
sions.
At the close of the regular program
Mr.eW. II. Graham was introduced II
made grateful acknowledgement of tn
honors done him by his old friends an
neighbors.
Mr.. Leclie, who is as modest and re
firing as he is energetic and enthusias
' tic, was prevailed upon, with niue
difficulty, TO come forward and addres

In the Darkest Days.

In the dark and eventfuI days OF
Reconstruction, when Virginia was cp-
pressed and ruined, Judge Lewis was
an active, outspoken enemy Of the
State. He has been in the same ranks
ever since. Under the circumstances
1t requires a good deal OF nerve and
cheek to ask the State now 10 make
him Governor. The State will do no
such foolish thing.

The vote for Governor In August
was 3.206. The vote for Roosevelt
was AZ $50. Give Judge Lewis the
entire Roosevelt vote, (which he won't
get), and Swanson's majority will oe

Word comes from Pendleton that
john Stewart, the local wood dealer
who was reported to have disposed of

lily in Walla WalIa, was seen in the
Oregon town Sunday. He called on a
cousin who resides in that city and
informed him that he had gotten into
trouble in Walla Walla and was forced
to leave suddenly. He claimed that
he had killed a man and that the Of
ficers were looking for him. 1t is the
general belief of Stewards relatives in
Pendleton that ne is mentally unbal-
anced, as mis- actions while in Pendle-
ton were very peculiar.

chased a ticket for his old home in
Missouri and left Pendleton Monday

MAKES SYSTEMATIC CANVASS
Lewiston GrangeviIIe Electric Road !:
Practically Assured.

LEWISTON, April 25.-The active
work of soliciting for the electric road
in the country lying between Lewiston
and Waha will be commenced today
by a committee composed of r. c..
Beach, o. A. Kjos, D. j. McGilvery and
Charles Dodw. The work will be most
carefully carried out and it is ex-
pected that the entire country will have
been Systematically canvassed during
the next two weeks. The canvass in
the prairie country will be taken up
simultaneously in all sections between
Lewiston and Grangevi1le and Nez
Perez and it is expected that the entire
amount of 100000 will have been Sc
| cured before the close of next week.
The farming people have taken an
active interest in the project and from
reports received the committees will be
gladly received and the people will be
ready to give the movement their as
,sistance.
The developments of the past ten
days have given the project a firm
standing in all parts of the country
work is being generally discussed. 1t
has been suggested that in order that
no delays be encountered the construc-

Edward Wilson Claims That He

A man VINO says he is not certain
whether his name IS Bender Spangler
or Wilson, is in the city Jail awaiting
investigation on a charge of opening

Yesterday a letter addressed to Ed
Wilson was left at the saloon when
Bender called for it. 1t was given to
him by the bartender. Shortly after

Bender had gotten a letter addressed
to Ed Wilson and had left the saloon
a few moments before. Wilson hunted
up Bender and accused MIN of having

ton, when Wilson informed the police
who placed Bender under arrest. Ben
der claimed that he gave the letter
to a friend named Shorty" Stone. UI
to late hour this afternoon the police
were unable to locate Stone and it is
believed by the officers that no such
man was ever in Walla Walla.
Bender is a lineman and has been
about the city for several weeks. He
says that his fathers name was Ben
