Tony Carlson, who was bound
over to the grand jury by the
justice of the peace at Kelliher
charged with assault with intent
to do great bodily harm, late this
afternoon appeared before Judge
Spooner and plead guilty to the
charge and was sentenced to
serve three years in the states
prison at Saltwater, where he
will be taken by Sheriff Bailey.
In pleading guilty Carlson took
advantage of the new law of 1905,
which provides that for any
crime of less magnitude than
manslaughter, murder or crimes
equally grave, the defendant may
appear before judge of the dis
trict court for the county in
which the crime was committed
and plead guilty so as to receive
sentence at once and begin the
service of his term.
Carlson is the man who last

FIGHT ON CHURcHMAN LAW.
TwO-cent Rate Not Likely to Go Into
Effect at Time Named 10 Bill.

Richmond, Va, May 15.-According
to the purpose of the Churchman law,
passed by the last Legislature, two
cent rate should go into effect on Vir-
ginia railroads June 18th, but according
to actual fact it will be a long time be-
fore such a rate is enjoyed.
The Churchman bill provides that in
case the Corporation Commission does
not previously adopt such rate that
two-cent rate shall go into effect June
18th, on ticket books of not less than
five hundred miles. The members of
the Travellers Protective Association
are taking much interest in the cues
ton, and many inquiries are being made
within and without the State as to when
it will become effective.
The railroads will combine to fight
the Churchman law and will first take
it to the Corporation Commission, and
should they lose they will carry it to the
Supreme Court. 1t is safe to say many
months will have passed before finali-
ty is reached.

The Giles County Centennial

The people of Giles county are proud
of many things in their history-and
justly so-for they have borne well an
honorable part in the life of this Sec
ton, from the pioneer days to the pres
ent. In peace and in war they have al
ways stood with the foremost. But
last Saturday was red letter day
among many notable days. 1t was the
Tooth anniversary of the county and
was fittingly celebrated, one of the
chief features being a Confederate re-
union under the management of the
Daughters of the Confederacy. The
word management" is used advisedly.
At 10 o'clock the parade formed at
the High School building. The chief
marshals and band headed the process
sion, followed by at least two hundred
and fifty old soldiers, keeping step to the

C. B. SLEMP TO "SQUARE DEAL"
Big Stone Gap, Va, May A, 1906
;+o,. Tho Novuc ,aadar.
THE BIG STORE

Big Stone Gap, Va, May a, 1906.
Editor The News Leader:
An article appeared in recent issue
of The News Leader under the title OF
"Humiliating Surrender and signed
"Souare Deal" which is a criticism of
the Republican management of the last
campaign and, among other things,
asks for an explanation from me of a
certain business transaction in Roam
oke city, with which my name had been
connected. l am glad of the opportu-
nifty to make a statement of my con-
nection with the business matter refer
red to, but l will first give some atten-
ton to the criticisms in his article:
His first criticism is, that the cause
of our defeat last fall was ''The evil
dence that gradually developed during
the progress of the campaign of a mer-
cenary bargain between certain ele-
ments at first apparently inimical, to
effect merger to control Federal pat
ronage and eventually dictate the dele
gates to the next National Convention. T"
No more absurd or incorrect explana-
ton of the cause of Republican defeat
in November last could be given than
this. There were no mergers, bargains
or combinations of any kind made look
ing to the selection of delegates to any
national convention, or to the disposi-
ton of Federal patronage, or to any
thing else. Such an idle, unsupported,
suspicion, not even intimated during
the campaign, could not have had the
slightest effect on the Republican vote,
and such combinations, had they been
made, could not have affected the 49,
600 Democratic votes cast for Govern
or Swanson.
The campaign last fall was conducted
on real isues, and an honest appeal was
made to the voters of Virginia to sup
port the Republican candidates, with
the declaration of principles set forth
at the Roanoke convention. The can
didates themselves were the ablest men
our party could select, and the cause Of
defeat cannot be charged to their re-
spective personalities, their political or
private records, or to any lack of effort
on their part. Neither can it be said, /
think, that those who devoted them
selves to the work of organization,
failed to to do their work thoroughly
and efficiently.
Various reasons will doubtless be as
signed by different people as causes Of
defeat. The causes undoubtedly lie
deeper than merely selecting delegates
or appointing postmasters. The gen.
eral prosperity of the State, condi-
tion always favorable to the party in
