A Saloon Mans View.

A leading saloon keeper In Bluefield
said recently, 30 we are authoritatively
informed, that II he had a vote In Vir-
ginia he would unhesitatingly support
the Mann Bill, for the reason that the
bill puts out Of business the dealers In
the country and many small towns, and
thereby his own business would be In
creased by reducing the number OF sa
looms, and also, In the majority OF cases,
made the business more respectable, as
the majority OF the saloons closed by
the Mann Bill were conducted in dis
reputable manner. This Is "a purely
selfish view, still IL has reason and
sound business sense TO commend IL.
The Mann Bill seeks only TO throw
around the business proper restrictions,
and to protect the people from crime
and imposition.

A Republicans View.

Below is "A clipping from Republi-
can paper. The view expressed Is no
doubt the generally accepted belief
among the Republicans OF the State,
and contains flood for thought:
Senator Martin will win the sena-
torship. Montague may get the most
votes in the primary, but the Martin
crowd will do the counting, and il will
be all off with the Governor. Virginia
would be taking backward step TO
retire Senator Martin, who is for all
practical purposes, the only represent
ative the State has had in the upper
house for a number Of years.
Congressman Swanson appears TO be

to gain by Mann's defeat, for the Stat,

D. Because, as one who was himself

that among the privates in the ranks
ON the firing lines. where the chief dan

who, in point of high courage, lofty

those who held commissions as officers.
These were the men, who, by their tx :
ample and splendid heroism under the
shower of shot and shell, made immor-

VIM. Hodges Mann was private SOL

and as such faithfully performed his

BIG DROPS OF
A THIEFS BLOOD
Lett Upon the Japanese Mating
in the Stuart Residence at
Elk Garden, Va.

One of the boldest. attempts at
burglary which has come to our
notice Tor sometime was enacted
at the home Of III. G. Stuart in
Russell County last Friday night.
In the absence of Mr.. Stuart and
while Mrs. Stuart and her trained
nurse were asleep, a burglar en-
tered the house and was in the
act OF carrying off valuable lew
elry, when Mrs. Stuart was
awakened by the noise. She
demanded of the burglar to leave
the premises, and enforced her
demand by pistol shot at the
burglar, which is thought to have
taken effect in his arm. The
burglar returned the shot, which
penetrated Mrs. Stuart's night
clothing, but doing her no harm.
Mrs. Stuart arose from her bed
and pursued the burglar to the
front gate, where a shot from her
pistol made him drop the jewelry
and flee.
Blood stains left in the hall by
the intruder is sufficient evidence
that Mrs. Stuart is not one TO be

duty TO give my support to Judge
Mann
recognize the fact that all three of
the aspirants are in favor Of good
roads, OF public schools, of Economic
Administration OF Government, and for

fell upon Judge Mann for the following
reasons:

qualities, he unites vigorous Intellect
