IN THE TINE
Of SIR BOYLE ROCHE

Sir Boyle Roche was celebrated Tor
of brilliant plumbers. His blunders
were good, and his correction of them
was still better. On such occasions he
was doubly witty. He was witty In
the original mistake: he was still more
witty in the subsequent amendment;
and he was sure, by an increase of
absurdity, to fix attention on the point
which most deserved it. We are all
now familiar with his famous address
to the House of Commons: Are We to
beggar ourselves for fear of yexina
posterity? Now, would ask honorable
gentlemen, and this still more honor
able House, why we should put OUR
selves out of our way to do anything
for posterity. for what has poster1ty
done for u.s. Explaining this, he said,
by posterity, / do not at all mean our
ancestors, but those who are to come
Immediately after them"
Mr.. Speaker said he on another
occasion. IF these Gallican villains
should invade us, Sir. tbs on that very
table. nay be, these hosorapse mem
bers might see their own destinies ly'
ing in heaps atop of one another.
Here perhaps. Sir, the murderous ruf.
fans would break in, cut us to mlnce
meat. and throw our bleeding heads
upon that table to stare us in the
face"
The above has so connection with the
matter. but you will miss a good time
if you don't take in the st. Patrieks
dav celebration at st. Louis College
Hall on the evening of March 10th.

RUSSIA WANTS
MORE FIGHT

ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 22-An
acute observer says that there are in
dications everywhere that the Rus
slams are getting ready to fight Japan
again. All preparations of the army
and navy departments and the rail-
road administration are bent to that
end. Conversations with Russians
showed to this mans satisfaction that
there is no question in the minds or
the people about it, They have de-
c;ded the matter.
The Russians have also lost any feel
ing they may have had against the
United States on account of the treaty
of Portsmouth. Since the appearance
of the Japan-American discussion over
the California school question, with
what Russians believe likelihood that
America will be forced to fight Japan,
all the traditional liking for and kind
ness toward Americans have come
back, and great warmth of friendship
for America is developing everywhere.
Another good authority, however,
said that Immediately following the
California affair Japan proposed to
Russia the mutual evacuation of Nam
churia. Japan consenting to yield on
the debatable treaty questions. Rus>
STA, said the informant a diplomat
and statesman who took part in the
Portsmouth conference, agreed to the
proposition.
Unless America makes immediate
preparations. war is likely 70 become
Imminent" continued the informant,
because Russfan-Japanese affairs
have been definitely settled. while in
Japan the situation is one of feverish
preparations.
1.-THE desire for conquest is bound to
find an outlet where the resistance Il
least and the booty richest. The idea
of selling the Philippines to the Mikado
is unreasonable because the value OF
what America has spent on them sir1cs
their acquisition will amount to untold
while Japan would hardly ba
able to pay what Spain received for
them Afterward Japan will ask for
the Hawaiian Islands, which America
cannot yield without humiliation.
"Of course Japan would only win the |
first round. because no Asiatic or Euro
pean nation could long keep pace with !
A merican wealth and progress; but |
the amount of blood ana
treasure involved in war President
is right in trying to avoid a
conflict while hurrying preparations

hoping thereby to prevent the japanese
rom displaying activity elsewhere.
rhe excessive American susceptibility
will only help these men.
..Unquestionably an immediate jap
war depends upon the
British attitude"

| We are living In very rapid age.
Few of US bother our heads about
small things, and so many persons look
upon pain, ache or Iameness In the
back as small thing. They wait for it
to pass off. giving no thought to the
cause. Remember: The kidneys are
the sewers of the system; they carry
off the impure matter, but sewers
sometimes become clogged up. So do
the kidneys. The kidneys are located
near the small of the back. hence any
stoppage affects the back. This means
backache, lame back weak back and
many other distressing symptoms.
There is lots more TO tell on this SUBJ
ject, but we won't do it here. for we
want TO show you how to keep the kid
neys so the back will have no cause to
ache. You might not believe US, so
we will let one or your own citizens
tell their experience:

There is an advantage in having a
Jaundress who understands the
weakness of a man sufficiently to
consider his linen when he forgets.
Few laundresses do that here, in
fact the laundress in Hawaii is an
exception for the average man de-
ponds upon the Chinese to loose his
washing. You IL know the difference
if you have ever tried this estab-
hshment. We can do work prompt
ly and deliver it at any time it is
needed. And the finish. We will
guarantee that there has never
been work done here that excels
ours, none that has ever given as
good satisfaction. We believe we
can satisfy you no matter how par
ticulaar you are.

ties, in convention assembled at Hona-
ker, Virginia, September 14th, 1907,
make the following declarations:
LIST. We desire to express our re-
newed allegiance to the splendid princi-
Piles of the National Republican Party,
and our admiration for President Roose-
welt and the grand achievements of his
administration.
End. We heartily endorse the repre-
sentative record of our present Con-
gressman, the Hon. Campbell Slemp,
and congratulate him upon his three
successive triumps over the hosts of
Democracy in the Ninth Congressional
district.
3rd. We most earnestly appeal to
the people of Tazewell, Russell, Dick
enson and Buchanan counties, and all
the people of Virginia, to unite with US
in determined effort to free our state
from the vicious rule of a partisan
ohgarchy. To perpetute its power this
oligarchy has deprived hundred thou
sand men of the right to vote, and
robbed all the people of the right to
choose and elect their own officers. We
demand a repeal of all the laws, both
Constitutional and Legislative, by which
these outrages have been inflicted upon
the rights of the people; and especially
do we demand repeal of the poll tax
qualification for voting and the laws
which have taken from the people the
right to elect their Commissioners of
the Revenue and other officers that
should be chosen by direct vote of the
people.
4th. We denounce the present Legis-

lative appor;ion:nenJ of Virginia which
gives TO the counties Of razewc! and
Buchanan, with their tairiy-iive thou
sand population, only one representative
in the House of Delegates, and that
gives to the county of Appomattox,
with ten thousand population, one mem
ber of the House of Delegates, or as
much representation as have the two
great counties of Tazewell and Buch-
anan. This Legislative apportionment
is equally unjust in its treatment of the
other counties of the Ninth District and
of the mountain counties of all other
sections of the State. 1t was made
in the interest of a political machine
that is located east of the Blue Ridge,
and in that section of the State that has
always dominated the politics and con-
trolled the legislation of the Common
wealth by the use of the negro, first
while a slave without any vote, and
now as a citizen without the right to
vote. No honest man or patriotic citi-
zen should give his sanction to laws that
have been framed to rob his neighbors,
himself, his own people, of their repre-
sentative share in the Government.
The resolutions were read to the con-
vention by the Hon. R. Walter Dicken-
son, chairman of the committee, and
were unanimously adopted.
A resolution was then offered endoEs-
ing the representative record of Hon.
R. Walter Dickinson, the present re-
preventative in the State Senate from
the Senatorial District. The resolution
was adopted without dissenting vote.
The chair then announced that nomi-
nations were in order. Mr.. William
Leckie, of Pocahontas, presented the
name of ]. Powell Royal; and S. H.
Sutherland, of Dickinson, placed the
name of Roland E. Chase before the
convention. H. C. Galloway, of Gra-
ham, and Col. J. S. Browning, of Poca-
hontas, seconded the nomination of Mr..
Royal, while the nomination of Mr..
Chase was seconded by G. B. johnson
and j. F. Griffith, of Russell, and Mr..
hatilft, OF Buchanan. 1t being appar-
ent that Mr.. Chase would be nominated,
before the vote was announced, ].
Powell Royal came upon the stand and
asked that the nomination be made by
acclamation. This was done, and COM
mittee was appointed to wait upon Mr..
Chase and inform him of his nomination.
He was introduced to the convention
and accepted the nomination in brief,
but pointed speech.
K. w. Dickinson, T. c. Bowen, ]. S.
Browning and others were called for
and made short but stirring speeches.
The convention, on motion adjourned.
Great confidence was expressed by all
the delegates in the election of Mr..
Chase by large majority.
Immediately after the Senatorial con-
convention adjourned the delegates
from Russell County, who had been SO
authorized to do, assembled in conven-

THE FAIR IN
FULL SWING
The Finest Exhibit that Has Eyer Been
Seen at TaZeWell.
A LARGE NUMBER OF RACE HORSES
Fine Exhibits Of Cattle, Swine, Sheep and
POultry-The Demarest Show a Great
Attraction, and Large Attendance the
First Day.

No Fair at TazewelI has ever started
out under more favorable conditions and
will better prospects than the one which
Is now in progress at the fair grounds.
The weather yesterday morning was
ideal, and the town was already filed
with visitors from the county and many
distant points. At the proper hour peo-
pie from all quarters were vending
their way to the fair grounds, and those
who were it attendance found it the
best first day in the history of the As
sociation.
There are nearly one hundred race
horses on the grounds and most of
these will be entered in the races.
There will be four races each day,
three in harness and one running. There
are also a number of splendid saddle
and draft horses. If there were no
other attractive features, the horse
show and races would make the fair
great success. But there are other
attractive features, the cattle and poul-
tay being among them. There is one
herd of short horn cattle that cannot be
excelled. 1t is exhibited by DR.. Kipp
of Front Royal, Va, and with the herd
is bull that weighs 2500 Ms. and
a cow that weighs 1900 lbs.
Another very great attraction is the
Demarest Show. The riding of Miss
Hoffman is the most daring act ever
seen in this county, and the other acts
are comparatively as interesting.

On last Saturday, pursuant to regu-
lar call, the Republicans of Russell,
Dickenson, Buchanan and Tazewell
counties met in convention at Honaker,
Va, to nominate a candidate for the
State Senate. The delegation from

orary chairman, and VIM. C. Pendleton

Charles Honaker, of Honaker, as assist
and secretary.
Upon the motion of ]. F. Griffith the

The committee on credentials report
ed that Russell was entitled to Al
delegates, Tazewell to So, Dickinson to
26 and Buchanan 21, and that the dele
gates present from these counties be
authorized to cast the entire vote of
their respective counties. This report
was adopted.

Boil WeeVil Migrating.

New Orleans, September 1.-THE
cotton boil weevil which is about to be-
gin its annual migration eastward has
today reached a point in Louisiana
twenty-six miles from the Missippi riv-
er, according to telegram from the
State Crop Commission to Governor
Blanchard. Scientists declare the Mis-
sissippi river will prove no barrier and
will not stop the advance of the costly
pest into the eastern cotton belt. To-
days news is regarded as making it en-
tirely probable that the attempt at
crossing to the first of the weevils will
be made this season. The weevil as re-
ported the Governor were found at Le-
land Postoffice in Catahoula Parish.
