The Postoiilce department has is
sued an order that after July First,
patrons of the Rural routes must
have signals placed at their boxes,
so that the carrier will not have to
open boxes in which there is no mail
If it be desired by the patrons the
carrier will also notify the patron
when mail has been left there. The
orderfrom the department reads:
'On and after July /, 1906, pat
rons of the rural delivery service
will be required to display signals
on their boxes when they leave mail
in them for carriers to collect, as
after that date, carriers, when serv-
ing their routes, will not be required
to open and examine any boxes ex-
cept where such signals are dis
played"
Celebrated Eightieth Birthday.
On May IA, Henry c. Riggs reach
ed his S0th birthday, and the event
was quietly celebrated at the home
OF his daughter, Mrs. Langroise,
south of town. Mr.. Riggs is a pion-
Ger of Idaho, coming to this state
in 1864, and was lsosely identified
with the early history of this sec
ton. He was a member of the ter
ritorial legislature in 1864, and intro
duced the bill locating the capital
of the state at Boise. In 1871 he
moved to the Payette valley and was
strong factor in the business life
of this community until few years
ago, when advancing years and i'll
health compelled him to retire and
seek the rest to which his arduous
labors entitled him. Everybody
loves Uncle Henry Riggs, and his
many friends hope he may live to
enjoy many more birthdays EN-

Interesting Religious Revival.

The revival services which began in
the Christian church last Sunday morn
ing are still in progress and are con-
stantly growing in interest. A large
congregation greeted DR.. j. P. Lichten-
berger, of New York, who is conducting
the services, at the first meeting on
Sunday morning, and he at once i'm
pressed his hearers with the conviction
that he is an earnest and able preacher
of the gospel. He is one of the most
fluent speakers we have ever listened
to, and has the happy faculty of prompt
ly getting and holding the interested
attention of those he is addressing.
Miss Wambaugh, who is in charge OF
the song service, has been most cap
able and attractive feature of the SER
vices. She is beautiful singer, with a
voice full of sweetness and pathos, and
her work clearly indicates that she is a
sincere Christian woman.
On Tuesday night the ordinance OF
baptism was administered to three can
didates, the first fruits Of DIR. Lichten-
berger's work. The services each night
are attracting large congregations; and
they will continue through this week
and the next, perhaps longer.

After Many Years.

On last Monday venerable and ele-
giant gentleman, Prof. French Strother,
arrived at Tazewell to visit relatives.
He is a near relative of Mrs. R. R.
Henry and of VIM. C. Pendleton, being
the first cousin of Mrs. Henry's father
and also of Mr.. Pendleton's father.
1t was a great pleasure to the editor
of this paper to again meet his kinsmar
after lapse of fifty-two years.
Prof. Strother was born in Rappahan-
mock county, Va, and is now nearly
eighty-two years old. His brother,
Wade D. Strother, lived at Tazewell in
the early ffties and is well remembered
by a few of the older citizens of the
county.
When Mr.. Strother completed his ed
ucation at the University of Virginia he
embarked in the noble profession OF
teaching and followed that profession
earnestly and successfully until few
years ago. He had female school at
Salem, Va, III 1S53-4-5. In the latter
year he moved to Missouri, where he
continued to his work as female edu-
Gator, winning much distinction in that
line.
We well remember, though we were
then but a small boy, when Cousin
French, before going to Missouri, with
his lovely wife and beautiful children,
visited our parents at Marion. Va. He
is now residing in Franklin county, Vir-
ginia, having a few years ago married
lady resident of that county. A gen.
tleman of the old school, he is fully
abreast Of the times, and is the best
preserved man we have ever seen. The
glow of health still lights up his cheeks
with coloring that any youth might
envy, and his eye still sparkles with the
intelligence of mature manhood. His
life has been spent in noble and beau
tiful work, and his excellently preserved
person is another illustration of the say
Ing that Ito be great Is to be good" "
Our cup Of happiness has been made
very full by again meeting this noble
kinsman.

TAFT GIVES ANSWER.
Visit to the Philippines Not to Affect
His Political Future.

Washington, July 14.-In answer to
a direct question as to. whether or not
he intended to visit the Philippine Is
lands next spring, and if so, whether
that decision might be taken as an indi-
cation that he intended to decline the
offer of the Supreme Bench, Secretary
Taft today said that he has received ar
invitation from the Philippines to be
present at the opening of the first ma
tive assembly next June. So far he hac
not come to any decision, but it might
be stated that whether-he accepted the
invitation or not, that decision would
have no effect upon his political or judi
cial future. In other words, he might
as a Justice visit the islands, quite as
we'll as while he occupied the Office Of
Secretary of war.
AS it has been the unbroken practice
to make the confirmation of the Senate
condition precedent to the assumption
of office by the supreme justice, it is
pointed out that there is really no oc-
casion for speedy decision by Secretary
Taft, and it is indicated that certainly
not before the next session Of Congress
will he announce his purpose.

HaruIs and Callahan Free.

Beattyville, KY, July 1.-THE jury
in the Hargis- Callahan trial returned a
verdict of not guilty, after being out
twenty-five minutes. The case was one
of the most stubbornly contested Ken
lucky court has had for years, The men
were charged with the murder Of ]. B.
Marcum.
James B. Marcum was a Republican
lawyer, of excellent standing. He was
engaged three years ago as an attorney
against James Hargis and Edward Gala
han, respectively, Democratic County
Judge and Sheriff, to oust them from
their offices on an allegation of corrupt
election. Much bitterness was aroused
and frequent open ruptures occurred.
In May, 1908, Marcum was shot in the
back and killed in Jackson Courthouse.
Curtis Jett and "Tom" White were
convicted and given life terms for the
murder. It was charged that they were
the tools of Callahan, Hargis and others.
Jett, after his conviction, confessed
that he shot Marcum, and that his act
was inspired by Callahan and Hargis.
On the witness stand, however, he re-
pudiated the confession and said he
alone was responsible, The acquittal
followed largely on this reputation.

Investigation of Sugar Trust Is
Next on the Program.

New York, July 16. Antitrust pro-
ceedings have been begun in the South
ern district of New York against the So
called tobacco and sugar trusts, accord
ing to reports from a creditable source.
The Standard Oil Company is being in
vestigated by the Federal government
and it is expected that the proceedings
will be the most far reaching in the
governments war against combinations
of capital. Attorney General Moody
reached here this afternoon and was
closeted for two hours and half with
Federal District Attorney Frederick l.
Stimson. At the close of the confer
ence both parties declined to discuss it,
although District Attorney Stirnson adj
mitted that the investigation of the
sugar and tobacco trusts, against which
indictments are already on record, had
been discussed. When asked point
blank, "Is it not fact that Mr., Moody
told you that he wanted the Standard
Oil Company and its business methods
inquired into by the Federal grand
jury?" Mr.. Stimson said: "You should
know that that is a question | cannot
discuss. Business has never been con-
Quoted through newspapers and never
will be. So far as | am concerned |
will proceed against all law breakers,
no matter who they may be-" Further
than this Mr.. Stimson declined to talk.
From another source it was learned that
the proceedings against the Standard
Oil Company will be begun in the fall.
1t was known that Stimson some time
ago secured a copy of all evidence which
was. brought out in the hearing in this
city, and in Missouri by Attorney Cen
eral Hadley, of the latter state. He
has also asked for copies of the evidence
brought out in Ohio and Texas investi-
cations, so should he desire he can call
an array of witnesses before the grand
jury here that will eclipse both in num-
Der and prominence any that has ever
appeared before semi-judicial tribunal
of this character in the history of Fed
eral legal proceedings.

DEATH OF John W. ROBINSON.
Was a Prominent Figure in Southwest
Virginia Industrial Development.

Wythville, Va, July 16.-Mr. John
w. Robinson, of Graham's Forge,
Wythe county, Virginia, died this morn
ing after an illness of eight months,
aged 67 years, and leaving a wife and
eight children.
He was born in the county of Bed

the daughter of Mr., David Graham. At
the death, in 1870, of his father-in-law,
Mr.. Robinson with D. P. Graham,
were made executors for this large es-
tate, and since that period Mr.. Robin
son has been most strenuous worker
in the development of the minerals OF
this section. He has been connected
in one way or another with all the valu-
able ore banks, charcoal furnaces and
mines in Wythe county, that line the
banks of Cripple Creek and New River,
and to him is due as much as to any
other person the unearthing of this
great treasure that lay along these
waters and their tributaries. He was
possessed of unusually good business
qualifications, and was mining expert.
He was modest in his department, an
exemplary citizen, and trusted by all.
He died possessing a very fine property,
and fully identified with business of this
county and the city Of Lynehburg.
At the time he was stricken he was
chairman of the Board of Supervisors of
this county, and an active and greatly
trusted agent of the Virginia Iron, Coal
and Coke Company.

TELEGRAPH AND EXPRESS
Companies Cited to Show Cause Why
New Rates Should Not be Effective.

Richmond, Va, Jnly 16. The tele-
graph companies are to make answer
before the Corporation Commission to-
morrow why the new rates fixed by that
body should not become effective at
once. This order was issued some time
ago. The proposed rates require that
messages of ten words and under shall
be sent to any part of the State for 25
cents. This is considerable reduction
over the present rates.
The express companies have been
cited to appear August l, to show why
the express rates should not become eff
fective. The new rates are much more
favorable to shippers than the present
rates.
The new rates are simple and uniform
and must be posted in every express Of
flee for the benefit Of shippers.

THEY MUST GO
TO TENNESSEE
JUDGE GOH'S Decision Adverse to
Chemical officials
IMPORTANT DECISION is GIVEN.
In the United States Circuit Court of Ap'
peals-PetititiOn of ]. G. Tinsley for
Writ of HabeaS Corpus Denied
and Judge Waddilfs Opin-
ion Sustained

Richmond, Va, July ID. Judge Colt,
of the United States Circuit Court OF
Appeals, today decided adversely to the
petition of ]. G. Tinsley for a writ OF
habeas corpus to release him from arrest
under the decision of Judge Waddill that
he must appear for trial in the Middle
Tennessee district for violation OF the
Sherman antitrust law.
The case has been ably contested for
three days by able counsel and Judge
Golf in dismissing the application, gave
his decision in writing.
The judge held that to hear evidence
on an indictment without going into a
trial would lead to inextricable contus-
ion. On some of the points raised, SAID
Judge Gotf, there was conflict OF au-
thority, but he believed that the decls-
ion of the Supreme Court Of the United
States favored the regular proceedings
and opposed innovations that would i'm
pede the administration of justice.
The dismissal of the application for
writ would not in the least prejudice the
standing of the accused; the testimony
showing innocence could be offered in
the trial court.
REMANDED TO CUSTODY.
Mr.. Tinsley was an once remanded to
the custody of the marshal. During the
hearing of Mr.. Tinsley's case, which
was test of the others, the Richmond
and Norfolk gentlemen accused OF the
same offense, were present, but were
not in custody; but Immediately after
the court rendered its decision, warrants
were issued for them under the same
charge as follows: S. T. Morgan, pres
fdent; Fortesque Whittle, vice presi-
dent, and J. Rice Smith, sales superin-
tendent, of the Virginia Carolina Chem
ical Company; F. S. Royster, Charles
F. Burroughs and F. E. Wilcox, of the
Royster Guano Company, Norfolk, and
w. McKeisler, of Pensacola, Florida.
Technically each went through the same
procedure of arrest, application for
writ of habeas corpus and refusal, so
as to put all the cases on exactly the
same footing. Bonds of $1,000 each,
for their appearance at the Tennessee
trial, were furnished and an appeal to
the United States Circuit Court was
taken in each case.
ORGANIZED IN CANADA.
The interesting fact has developed
that the "holding" company of the al
legged fertilizer trust is a Canadian con-
cern. The company which is to receive
the earnest money" of the fertilizer
manufacturers was organized in Canada,
and the various companies which are
said to comprise the trust are said to
have been required to forward to the
Canadian company such amounts as
may have been assessed against them
for "violation" of the agreement. 1t
Is charged that the companies agreed to
sell only certain amount of fertilizers,
and for all sales in excess of the agreed
amount fixed charge of so much ton
was to be paid to the holding com
pany as earnest" money.
