The Judge of the court, and members
of the Bar of Tazewell County desire
the following tribute to the memory of
the late Judge John H. Fulton to be
of record:
Judge Fulton occupied the position of
Circuit Judge of this County from Jan
uary, 1870, to May, 1887, when he re-
signed. He was really charged with
blazing the way for a new order of
things and of moulding the jurispru-
dence of this State to fit the Underwood
constitution, and the changes incident
to the result of the war between the
States, and of reconstruction. This was
task for no ordinary mind; but we can
attest that Judge Fulton, though COM
paratively young and inexperienced.
when he entered upon these arduous
and responsible duties, measured I'D to
the requirements; readily commanding
the respect and love of the bar and peo-
pie-prompt, polite and courteous in his
official duties-impartial and careful in
his judgments, from which appeals
were rarely taken, and which were
more rarely reversed.
When he resigned his office to ENGAGE
IN the practice of law, he declared that
ne would, and he did, regularly attend
the courts of this county. He succeed
ed rapidly here, as elsewhere in ar
quiring large law practice. involving
important cases, something that is sell
dom accomplished so quickly by one
occupying the bench as long as Judge
Fulton did. He carried the judicial fac
ulty into his practice as a LAWYER: and
while he bore himself in the cause of
MS clients, always as lawyer and advo-
cate, being Jealous and alert, but never
incautious, always keeping in mind
that the principle of the Jurisprudence
which he invoked for the cause Of his
clients were founded upon high prinei-
pies of moral philosophy and abstract
right and justice. He was open. frank
and honest in all his engagements at
the bar; but he mastered the law and
facts of his causes, and when convinced
that he was in the right he exhibited
great force and power, courage and
persistence.
Being seriously and painfully manned
as volunteer in the war between the
States, IN consequence of which he con-
stantly bore himself upon his crutches.
we never failed to remember that he
had been brave soldier and officer in
the Confederate Army. The Lost
Cause" was always dear to him. and he
was alert as veteran in seeing Justice
done IN the history of the cause. Ex-
pressing our estimate of Judge Fulton.
we do not hesitate to declare that he
deserves to be ranked as one of the
great lawyers and jurists of the State
and that throughout his life he faith
fully discharged his duty to the States.
to his clients, his family and his friends
1t IS further resolved that a conv
hereof, attested by the Judge of the
Court, be sent to the family, and that
copies be handed to the TazeweIl Repub-
lican, Clinch Valley News and the Poca-
hontas Headlight for publication.

VIRGINIA-At a session of the Circuit
Court of Tazewell county, held at the
courthouse thereof on the 4th day of
March, 1907, Honorable w. j. Hen
son presiding.
On this day there was held in open
court a meeting of the members of the
Tazewell bar and the officers of the
court, and the Judge ordered that the
business of the court be suspended, as
a token of respect for the memory of
Thomas Edwin George, the late clerk of
this county and court, who died on the
fourth day of January last, in his fifty
seventh year. The following resolution
having been read and adopted, the
Judge directed that the same be spread
upon the order book of the court
RESOLUTION.
In the death of T. E. George, this
court has lost a faithful, experienced
and useful officer; one who has served
the people of this county, in the capac-
ity of clerk, for many years. Through
out his long career as a trusted public
servant, we are able to testify that we
know of no blot upon his official record,
and not even a suspicion against his in
tegrity.
In his death, the Judge of the court,
the members of the Tazewell bar and
the officers of the court, one and all,
have lost from our midst warm-heart-
ed and noble-souled man, who was our
friend and companion.
We can further testify that the citi-
zens of this county have lost a beloved
public servant, one who was their COM
mon friend and counsellor, and to whom
all classes and conditions were in the
habit of going for help and advice.
The life of such a man cannot be in
vain, but, in truth, is bound to have
served a good purpose.
From the standpoint of the public,
we believe that the interests of our
county have been promoted by his un-
selfish, courageous and vigilant efforts
on behalf of an honest and conserva-
tive administration of county affairs.
From a personal standpoint, we feel
that we are wiser and better from hav-
ing known him.
There is another and more painful
loss, the loss suffered by his family.
Our hearts are full of sympathy for
those who were nearest and dearest to
him. We know that his family has lost
a devoted and loving husband and
father. He was indulgent and thought
ful to the fullest extent.
Ed. George still lives in the hearts of
his fellow-men, and he has left behind
him a good record and honored name,
which will not soon be forgotten, but
will endure, and prove a comfort and
help to each member of his family
throughout life.
1t is further resolved that four copies
hereof, attested by the Judge of the
court, be sent to Mrs. Julia B. George
and family, and that copies be handed
to the Tazewell Republican, Clinch Val
ley News and the Pocahontas Headlight
for publication.

PRESIDENTS VACATION ENDS.
Roosevelt Family Leaves Oyster Bay
Home for the Capital.

Oyster Bay, N. Y. Sept 24.-Sev-
arrived here In the summer and feel
ing In finest fettle as result of his
outdoor life, President Roosevelt will
take leave of his summer home to-
morrow, his intention being to make
hurried visit to Washington before
leaving on his trip to the west and
south.
Though he has enjoyed his vaca-
tion immensely It has not been all
play and no work for him during the
summer, for 1t is now known that
during the past five or six weeks he
has nearly completed his annual mes
sage. The message is practically
finished and according to report 1t is
the longest OF American presidential
messages. It is said that the mes
sage not only aims to set for recon-
mendations for the coming session Of
congress, but also the republican pol
icy for the campaign OF next year.
The summer has been a very rest
full one for the president. In no sum-
mer in the past has he seen so few
peuple. He Is in the pink of condi-
tion for his western trip, which will
be the last one he will make before
he ends his term as president, undess
Secretary Taft should be nominated,
TN which case It is not at all improba-
Bile that the president will make a
number of speeches i'm his favor.

So many floating reports of a car
shortage in this state have reached
the Oregon Railroad commission, that
the commission has determined to
make a thorough and exhaustive in
Vestigation of actual conditions in
the state and with this view have sent
out circular letters to all the princi-
pal shippers and to all the newspa-
pers of the state asking for definite
and detailed statements and facts on
this subject.
Meetings will be held in the chief
shipping centers of the state this fall,
and hearings will be given shippers,
with view to finding out just what
the people need in the way of cars,
and how much the railroad compa-
nies fall short of supplying the de-
mand for cars.
The circular letter received by the
East Oregonian from the commission
is as follows:
Salem, Ore, Sept. "a, 1907.-(To
the Editor.)-A great many COM
plants are being filed daily with the
commission by shippers who are un-
able to get cars and it is evident from
the information received that ship
pers are going to suffer far more this
fall than last from car shortage.
The commission is investigating the
matter and hearings will be held at
an early date with view to ascer-
tanning the real cause of the shortage,
placing the blame where 1t belongs,
and securing some relief for the ship
pers of this state.
In conducting such an investigation
1t Is necessary to have the co-opera-
tion of the shippers and we ask that
You be prepared, when called upon,
to furnish some definite information
covering your experience in securing
cars during the last 80 days.
You will be duly advised when the
matter comes up for a hearing. In
the meantime would be pleased to
hear from you.
Yours truly,
