OPEN NOW
Hearst News Service.

New York, September 1S.-With the
first important game, that between
the Carlisle Indians and Albright Col
| lege, scheduled for tomorrow, the 1908
football season in the East will be
formally opened. According to re-
ports, the redskin eleven is this year
unusually strong and will likely make
good showing.
! Not until a week from tomorrow
September 26, will any of the other big
college elevens be seen on the grid
iron. On that date, Pennsylvania will
play its first game of the season at
Philadelphia, with West Virginia as
its opponent. Brown will play New
Hampshire and Syracuse will meet
Hamilton.
Wednesday, September 80, will be
the big football inaugural day. Yale
will get into the game by playing
Wesleyan at New Haven, Harvard will
have its initial game at Cambridge
with Bowdoin, and Dartmouth will
play Vermont at Hanover.
Princeton, Cornell, West Point and
Annapolis will play their first games
on Saturday, October 8. and from that
date until November 2S, when the
season ends with the annual struggle
between the elevens of the army and
navy academies. every Saturday and
Wednesday will be marked by import
ant contests between the football glad
iators.
From present appearances, Yale has
the best chances of carrying off the
premier football honors of the coun-
try. Harvard looks weak. and neither
Princeton, Cornell, West Point An
napolis or Pennsylvania can produce
elevens that, according to the dope of
the wise ones, will be able to take the
measure of the strong team of Old
Eli.

LAWMAKERS GATHER
FOR EXTRA SESSION
Prospects Are Bright for a Long,
Wrangling Session of the LegisIa-
ture Which Will Be of Help to DEM
ocratic Party.
Hearst News Service.

Indianapolis, Ind, September IS
Hoosier lawmakers gathered in the
capital today, at the call of Governor
Hanly, to begin what will probably be
the most important special session of
the legislature ever held in Indiana
Although other vital matters are up
for consideration, the fight for and
against enacting a county local option
law will likely be the feature of the
session. Governor Hanly is a pro-
nounced temperance advocate and his
highest ambition is to place Indiana in
the ranks of the dry states. Under
the Moore demonstration law, a large
part of the state is already free of sa-
looms. A county local option law,
such as proposed by Governor Hanly,
would likely drive the liquor dealers
from all but a few large cities, and

local OPTION FIGHT
Up IN INDIANA WARM

would serve as an entering wedge for
statewide prohibition.
That the governors attempt to force
the local option measure may have
grave results on the national election
in admitted. Many politicians believe
that the acceptance or rejection by the
legislature of county local option bill
lis likely TO change the entire political
complexion of the campaign now in
progress. The brewers and liquor
dealers realize the gravity of the stu
alton and will do their utmost to pre-,
vent the passage of the local option
act.
If the special session is harmonious
it will likely aid the Republicans in
carrying the state. If a factional fight
results, the Democrats will have their
opportunity, and will not hesitate to
take advantage of it. The Republicans
will make the local option bill party
measure and seek to whip into line
enough votes to make it a law. but
doubt exists as to the ability of the
party leaders to control the assembly.
The house, of course, will be the scene
of the struggle if there is one. The
Republicans have fifty-three members
to forty-seven Democrats. This is a
safe margin if caucus action can be
taken. But it is recalled that some
five or six Republicans refused at the
regular session to go into any temper
ance caucus and it is feared that these
may cause trouble.
The Republicans will depend upon
temperance Democrats to make up for
the members of their own party that
they cannot control. Several Demo
Gratis voted with the Republicans two
years ago for high license. These may
play politics, however this session and
Withhold support, in which event coun-
ty local option will be afar off.

TRAVELLING MANS EXPERIENCE.

Il must tell you my experience on
an East bound o. R. & N. R. r. train
from Pendleton to LeGrande, Ore,

travelling man. Il was in the smoking
department with some other travelling
men when one of them went out into
coach and came back and said, There

| at once got up and went out, found
her very i'll with cramp collie; her
hands and arms were drawn I'D SO
you could not straighten them. and,
with a deathlike look on her face. Two
or three ladies were working with
her and giving her whisky. l went

rhoea Remedy Il never travel without
it,, ran to the water tank, put a double
dose of the medicine in the glass,
poured some water into It and stirred
1t with a pencil; then l had quite a
time to get the ladies' to let me give
it to her, bot socceeded. l could at
once see the effect and worked with
her, rubbing her hands, and in twenty
minutes l gave her another dose. BY
this time we were almost to LeGrande
where l was to leave the train. l gave

EYE DEFECTS IN
THE SCHOOL ROOM

The greater per cent. of eye trouble
is acquired or developed during school
days. Neglect at this time is respon-
sible for much of the present-day eye
trouble. twenty-five per cent. of all
school children suffer from defective
eyes. They fall back in their classes
and are often taken out of school
through ignorance of the cause, when
a half hour with an expert optician
would have remedied the whole diff

are so because Of some defect of the
eye. Don't neglect the eyes of your
children. No charge for consultation.

EMPEROR AND
EMPRESS DEAD.
The White Horse and Rider Halt at The
Gate Of Chlna'S Sacred City and
Summon It's Rulers Hence.

Pekin, China, Nov. ID AT 8 O'Clock
this evening it was officially given out
that the Emperor of China had died
shortly after 5 o'clock this afternoon.
The general board of government has
confirmed the report circulated yester-
day that the Dowager Empress is also
mortally i'll.
The Emperor had been i'll for long
time, and during the recent audiences
with foreign representatives he was
unable to either sit upon the throne or
even in an erect position; and recent
climatic extremes caused the develop
ment of fatal complications, which re-
suited in his death. At the moment of
the Emperor's death the Dowager En-
press death chamber chair was waiting
in the court yard, and when word was
brought her that the Emperor was dy-
ing she collapsed.
Kuang Hsus's later life was a pitiable
spectacle to his attendants. His feeble.
ness had rendered him a mere puppet
and he had suffered long from ill health

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.
A Large and Enthusiastic Gathering Of
Teachers In Attendance.

The meeting of the County Teachers
Association was held in the High School
Chapel Of Tazewell, November 18th and
14th. About sixty teachers, several of
the trustees and the Division Superin-
tendent were in attendance. A number
of important matters were considered
and acted upon. A petition was unani-
mously adopted asking the Board of
Supervisors Of the county to increase
the salary of the Division Superinten-
dent Of this county to the minimum re-
quired by the new law, requiring the
salary of every superintendent to be at
least $500. If the supervisors do not
comply with this request, additional
school territory will be annexed to the
already large county, and it will become
physical impossibility for any one man
to supervise our schools efficiently. Con-
siderable attention was also given to
discussing the question Of the adapta-
bility Of the present graded system to
one-teacher rural schools. It is very
difficult for a single teacher to so grade
school of SO to 80 pupils of all ages
and degrees Of advancement so as to
teach successfully or 8 branches in one
day. Another subject In which the
teachers manifested great interest and
spirit, is the direct tax of per cent. of
each months salary which teachers are
required to pay to the Retired Teachers
Pension Fund. No action, however, was
taken upon this matter.
The following officers were elected
for the year: Rev. w. w. Carson,
president; Mr.. VIM. F. Lewis, secretary
and treasurer; also one vice-president
from each school district.
Delegates and alternates to the State
Teachers Association, at Newport
News, during Thanksgiving week, were
chosen.
The Association adjourned to meet
the second Friday in December. 1t il
to be hoped that more interest will bs
manifested by the citizens of the tow
in these meetings, and that there may
be large attendance of patrons an(
other citizens at the next meeting.

ONE VAST LUMP OF COAL.
Rev. ". 4. Hash Tells Of Hatuaral and
Mineral Resources Of Buchanan

Rev. w. A. Hash, of Buchanan coun-
ty, Va, and a missionary of the Bar-
tist state board of Virginia, has the dis
tinction of being one of the only two
Baptist preachers in the county of Buch-
anan, and his conversation with regard
to his mountainous home is interesting.
Mr.. Hash says that, while there " were
10000 citizens in Buchanan county, abb
solutely not one negro resided in it.
There was one negro family lived there
a few years ago, since which time even
these have departed.
With reference to the wealth of Buch-
anan county, its natural and mineral
resources, Mr.. Hash says that the en-
tire region is one vast lump Of cosl, In
exhaustible as the Cumberland noun
tains.
Buchanan county is skirted on one
side by Kentucky, on another by West
Virginia. The corporation commission
recently announced an increased assess
ment on coal properties in this county
amounting to $4,000, 900. The Clinch
Valley Coal Company has been in pos
session of untold mineral wealth there
and is today engaged in constructing
coal-carrying road through this region
which is seeking a southern outlet to
the Atlantic seaboard, and which enter
prise is said to be backed by Thomas F.
Ryan, of New York.
When Mr.. Hash entered Buchanan
county as missionary in 1906 he took
charge of congregation of thirteen.
Since that time there have been nine
Baptist church organizations formed in
the county, with memberships aggre-
eating upwards of 400.-Bluefeld Daily

DR.. GREGORY
is ACQUITTED.
Crowd Cherred When Verdict Was An
nOunCed, Though Warned By The
JUDGE Not To Do So.

Roanoke. Nov. 17.-''Not Guiltyp
This was the verdict returned at $50
O'Clock this evening by the jury in the
case of W. S. Gregory, the prominent
and wealthy Roanoke dentist, charged
with an attempt at criminal assault on
Miss Theodore U. Irvine. The jury was
ont an hour and half.
The closing argument was made by
Commonwealth Attorney Everett
Perkins for the state. Mr. Perkins was
preceded by Marshall Mccormick, Of
Berryville, leading counsel for the de-
Tense. Mr.. Mccormick made one of the
strongest appeals ever heard In court
in this part of the state.
The court room was jammed with
esger spectators during Mr.. McCor
mick's speech and many persons shed
tears a. he proceeded with the argu-
rnent. Prosecutor Perkins iayed the
accused dentist and called on the jury
to return verdict of guilty.
The trial started on Monday of last
week. Miss Irvine charged that DR..
Gregory outraged her after placing her
under the influence of choloroform. DR..
Gregory maintained that Miss Irvine was
dreaming, result Of the anaesthetiC
and the defense furnished much expert
testimony by eminent physicians to show
that hallucinations often follow the
administration of choloform.
When it was announced that the jury
he'd reached decision, Judge Woodi
.cs utioned the crowd to make no demon
etration.
When the jury came in and announced
they had found the accused not guilty
notwithstanding the warning Of th'
Judge, there was an outburst Of ap
plause. The faithful wife who ha
stood by the accused during all Of hi
trials, burst into tesrs, while friend
crowded around and congratulated tn
accused and his lawyers.
