AN EXPLANATION.

Burkes Garden, Va, Jan. 80, 'O7.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
Lest the good friends whom hope to
have made in Tazewell be laboring un-
der some misapprehension as to my at
titude on route for the proposed cleo
trio car line, take this, the earliest op-
portunity, by courtesy of the Republi-
can, to explain:
stated in discussion, speaking not
for myself as much as the Burkes Gar
den Cattle Company, whose interests
had the honor to represent, that we
could not hope to have that quick and
efficient service in the transportation of
light freight, express, mail and passen-
gers which would be necessary for the
complete success of our business until
we were brought in direct connection
with the main line of the Norfolk and
Western at Graham or Bluefeld. Lack
of time prevented full explanation of
how we thought the line should be built
and operated-however, schedule and
rates were submitted, showing how
some inter-urban electric railways used
during business trips up North had par
alleled well equipped steam roads-had
cut their rates in all classes of traffic
from 25 to so per cent. and had practi-
cally secured the bulk of each sections
business in all lines, unless we should
except the movement of heavy freight
Tonnage, such as coal etc. This is Just
what Bluefield-Tazewell Inter-urban
would do for the Norfolk and Western
Railway. Let these three places unite
on the construction and equipment of a
line from Graham down to and around
the cut at the Capt. Peery's place, then
through Clear Fork and Crab Tree s
Gap into Burkes Garden. The Tazewell
car line would be made to intersect at
or near the Martain place. Advantage
should be taken of successful experience
to which the inter-urban service has at
tanned up North and our line modeied
and maintained upon similar methods.
To degree, at least, Tazewell and the
rest of its county in touch with the pro-
posed road will be benefited the same as
Burkes Garden. Your mail, passengers
and express South and East in the morn
ing is now being held up at Bluefeld and
much business diverted. You need a
competitor in the business of furnishing
transportation. All business men real
ize what it means to have but one way
and one rate dictated to them By one
corporation. If the application of cleo
tricity in traffic and touring has proven
so uniformity successful up North it
would pay here.
A Burkes Garden Country Club is be-
ing organized this week for the express
purpose of setting forth to the world
the peculiar excellence and beauty of
the Garden and its products. Applica-
ton for space in the Agricultural De-
partment at jamestown has already

SIXTEEN BODIES TAKEN FROM Ill
FATED NINE.
Rescuers Working HeroicaIIy Under
Difficult Conditions and Many are
0Veroome.

Elkins, w. Va, Feb. $50 far six
teen bodies have been taken from drift
No. 25 of the Davis Coal and Coke Com
pany's mine at Thomas, and it is said
that fully that many more are yet in the
mine. 1t is dangerous tc enter the drift
on ac count of the foul gas. Compress
ed air is being used to clear the drift.
1t may take day or more before that
is accomplished and not until then can
the rest of the bodies be recovered or
the cause of the explosion be explained.
No inquest has yet been held, but an
investigation is being made by the mine
Inspector.
Rescuers are working heroically, un-
der difficult conditions, and many OF
them are overcome and brought out OF
the mine more dead than alive.

THE RAILWAY TO
BURKES GARDEN
Continues to Be An Interesting Question
to Our People.

The question of building either an
electric or dummy line from Burkes
Garden to Tazewell or some other point
on the N. & w. Railway is still exciting
a good deal of interest. We have here
tofore given our views as to what point
the road should be directed when the
people of Burkes Garden, and others in
terested, shall take some practical and
certain steps for doing the work. So
far We have seen no substantial contro-
vertion of the arguments we have pre-
sented for making Tazewell the termi-
nal of such a road. But this is not
written with view to Strengthening
our arguments on that line or to weaken
the views of those who hold to the con-
trary, but for the purpose of arousing
our own people to the Importance of
the contemplated enterprise.
We have just been informed that
Messrs. Jos. w. Kessler and M. 7. Bar
ry who, are representatives of the Sha-
mokin Lumber Co., Of Shamokin, Pa,
are in our midst. This Company is the
one that some time ago purchased a
large boundary of timber lands located
about what is known as ''Bear Town"
and adjacent to Burkes Garden. These
representatives of the Company are now
here for the purpose of looking out a
route for making available to the mark
cts the timber which the said Company
now owns at the location above named.
We are told that the Quigley Lumber
Company is seeking to have the Shamo-
kin Company connect with the route of
the Quigley Company to SaltviIle, and
ship its lumber from that point. But
the Shamokin people have viewed a
route from Burkes Garden to Peery's,
or Burkes Garden Switch, located two
miles east of Tazewell. We are also
informed that the Shamokin people are
greatly impressed with this route. Here
is an opportunity for both the people of
Burkes Garden and Tazewell. Why not
have committees from the Garden and
Tazeweil to take the matter up, and see
what arrangements can be made with
the Shamokin people to unite in the
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1907-02-07

been made, and horses, cattle, sheep and
poultry will be shown in their respective
places. This is but the beginning of our
advertising campaign. Before its end
farmers and breeders in every cline
will recognize in "Burkes Garden" the
brand of quality. After few years of
such publicity which this campaign will
bring, no y an or woman spending even
few hours in Bluefield or Tazewell will
neglect the opportunity to see the only
Garden" since Eden. All others are
spurious limitations. This mountain
walled valley set to blue grass and stud
ded with naples is such g. wonderful
manipulation of tie Creator handiwork
that we feel under obligations to the
rest of the world tc make it more acces-
sible. W. B. DOAK.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE
GEORGE TRAGEDY

The sad tragedy in which T. E.
George, the beloved clerk of Tazewell
county, lost his life, is still a matter of
absorbing interest to our people. On
January the 31st two men, Corwin
Gregory and James Cothin, were ar
rested at Falls Mills, in this county. and
brought here and lodged in Jail, upon
what was believed by the Common
wealth's Attorney and his associates to
be sufficient suspicious circumstances to
warrant the arrest. These are the two
men who were seen by witnesses the
morning before and the morning after
the tragedy in the neighborhood, and
who acted in such way as to excite
the suspicion of those who saw them.
They do not deny having been in the
neighborhood on the night when Mr..
George was killed. Since their return
to this place they have been identified
as the same men seen in the community.
There has been disposition on the
part of some persons to critizise the
authorities for arresting these men
without having what they think is
enough evidence to secure a conviction
for murder. We are authorized to say
that the officers who made the arrest
have secured enough evidence to justify
the arrest and holding of the men, and
also they believe for their Indictment.
The parties may be innocent. If they
are, they should be glad to have an op-
portunity to remove the cloud of suspi-
cion that had come upon them and that
could have rested their until an investi-
cation was made.
Nearly all the friends of Mr.. George
believe that his death was caused by
violence at the hands of some unknown
parties; and so believing, they are JUS
tilted in taking the most extreme steps
known to the law for finding and pun
ishing the guilty party or parties. Moth
ing has been done by them or by officers
or detectives that is not fully sustained
by tie law and sound public policy.

What Makes Powder Manufacture EN-
pensive.
1t must be remembered that there are
peculiar burdens imposed on this business
by its nature. To say nothing Of the dan
gers of accident which often result in
very large losses. the Governmental De-
partments are continually considering
changes in the formula and an the pro-
cesses Of manufacture. and as result
are continually making changes In the
specification which they require to be
fulfilled in the furnishing Of explosives
The result Of these changes has frequently
rendered powder already manufactured Of
no avail. and frequently abandonment OF
expensive machinery which was no Longer
available has been necessitated. Tho de-
mands Of the Government have been
spasmodic, requiring large plants which
for long periods OF time are idle. The
specifications are very strictly enforced
and tho result Is that large amounts OF
powder have been unavailable and have
been left on the hands Of the company
The dupont Company was organized IN
1902 and furnished the United States Gov
ernnent all the powder used in the war
Of 1872. and the major part OF that used in
1915 1875. and 1898. careful investiga-
ton Of the prices charged by contractors
curing the last two wars, shows that
while practically every other contractor
who had been previously selling munitions
OF war TO the Government advanced its
prices. the DUPONT Company sold at no
greater and. for some kinds Of material.
at "a less price than had before been
charged.
The company undertook to manufacture
Brown Prismatic Powder when Il was
seen that the supply OF smokeless powder
was not sufficient, putting IN new ma
chinery based upon the contracts then
given. Upon the signing Of the protocol IN
July. 1898. and the demonstration Of the
absolute unhtness Of Brown Prismatc
powder for military purposes. the Govern
ment requested the cancellation Of The
untitled portions Of the contracts, whict
was done by the dupont Company with
out any compensation for the new ma
chinery which then remained on its hands
