man, was an interested visitor to
Tazewell last week Friday. He
came here TO see the hanging, and in
cidentially sell q few baskets, as he

ARE FOR BRYAN.
{ Evening Journal }

Clyde w. Saunders, whose ex-
perience as a practical politician
makes him the most astute and ac-
curate of all political prophets in
this city, says that he doesn't see
how anybody in Richmond for
meoment can doubt the fact that the
Bryan element will completely DOM
mate the coming State Democratic
Convention.
"Why, there has been perfect
landslide for Brayn within the last
week or So" remarked Mr.. Saun-
ders today, land while / don't yet
know the names of those who will
run in Richmond, you can pretty
safely predict that the deleagtion
will favor instructions for the
Nebraskran. / myself shall run for
the position of delegate in my ward,
and purpose working for Bryan, OF
course. In my mind there isn't the
slightest doubt that the convention
will be overwhelmingly for him
and all the politicians can see this
even now.

in Roanoke at two o'clock Saturday
morning OF hydrophobia. He was
bitten on the hand by dog about
two months ago, while going 10 his
work i'm the machine works at Roam
oke. Although advised by physi-
clan TO seek special treatment for
the wound, he paid very little atten-
tion TO ii and had it dressed by n
physician OF Roanoke. The wound
healed and did not bother him until
few days ago he complained Of
suffering from rheumatism, and
bought n bottle OF patent medicine,
which seemed TO have had bad
effect upon him.
The day before his death he was
seen chewing an umbrella, and his
condition was noticed by some OF his
friends who took him TO his home,
where later he became violent and
had to be strapped to his bed. He
frothed at the mouth and made fire.

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR is

Chimes Dispatch)


1t is we'll known that the liquor
people, who knew full well where
their strength lay, made practically
all their fight before the Senate.
While many men hepled in both
houses to the happy ending, L think
few unpredjudiced observers will
deny that Judge Mann fought the
most trying part of the whole battle
and that it will not be taking away
any of Speaker Byrd's welI-earned
laurels TO say that TO Judge Mann
more than To any other single repre-
sentative we owe whatever of adj
vance has been made in temperance
legislation by the Legislature of
1908. People no doubt differ widely
as to the wisdom of this legislation,
but those who saw what went on
cannot differ as to the important
yea, the most important-character
of the work done openly and con-
stantly by Judge Mann, both before
the Senate and in committee. AS the
patron of the Bryd bill In the Senate
he pressed the bill with rare wis
dom, patience, self-control and tact
Only such exceptional skill coult
have carried the bill through prac
ticalIy unimpaired, in spite of tn
vigorous opposition which 1t en-
lcountered.

Mr.. HART MEETS
WITH COUNCIL
New School Building and Sepa-
rate School District Discussed
With School Inspector.

The town council held an informal
meeting on yesterday and talked over
the school situation. Prof. Harris
Hart, State School Inspector, was
here, and met with the members of
the council, and gave valuable infor-
nation.
The question of making a separate
district OF this town was discussed,
and also that of a new school site
and building. Neither OF the ques-
tions have been decided, as vet. The
council seems hopleesly divided at
present as to best and wisest course
whether to repair or build on the
present site or to sell out and build
elsewhere. Back OF this, and a deter.
mining factor perhaps, is the matter
of making this separate school dis
trict. Once this question is fixed the
Others will be easier of solution. AS
to whether the council will submit
this question to vote of the tax
payers or not is being carefully
weighed by the council.
on what is clear and patent to every
body, that if the school is TO run next
year something must be done at once,
looking to providing suitable build
ing and facilities. Mr.. Hart is OF
the opinion, as are several members
OF the council, that the present pro-
perty should be sold, and the school
moved TO a more suitable location,
assuming OF course, that the district
is cut off. Others, and strong MEM
bers OF the council, are in favor of
the school properly remaining in the
district, as at present, and the town
and district, Jointly, put the present
building in proper shape. So there
is division, and so, there you are. In
the mean time, Sept. 1, 1908, is only
about five months away, and coming
at the rate of many miles a minute.
