BYARs IS JuB|LANT
SLEMP'S SPEAKING HAD TO BE
POSTPONED BECAUSE CROWD
DID NOT COME.

Bristol, Va, Aug. 13.-Around
headquarters in this city of Hon. j.
Croyd Byars, Democratic candidate
for congress from the Ninth district
there IS an air OF satisfaction over
the failure OF Congressman G.. b.
Slemp to open his campaign In
Wytheville on Monday. The speakins
was generally advertised, but the
crowd failed to materialize, and the
Republicans did not hold a meeting
in spite of the fact that 1t was the
opening day OF the regular quarterly
session OF the circuit court. Mr.
Slemp claimed that the meeting had
not been sufficiently advertised, but
1t Is taken here to indicate that the
fiasco shows a lack OF enthusiasm In
Mr.. Slemp's candidacy, which looks
good TO Mr.. Byars.
Mr.. Byars' friends have already
begun their work of organization
and It is very evident that there
will be no lack OF energy in push
ing the work Of the campaign. En-
couraging reports continue to come
in from all over the district, and
while Mr.. Byars' campaign commit
tee has not yet been selected, II Is
certain that there will be continued
assaults upon the enemy's position
until the morning OF the election.

Rookbinder-A Game.

This is a game much enjoyed by chill
dren and is played by any number, who
sit in a circle. each holding a book laid
fiat on his clinched fists, which are
held gu in front of him.
One. who has been chosen book
binder and stands in the middle of the
circle, goes to any player and, selling
that players book. attempts to rap his
k%nuckles, which the holder Of the book
tries to avoid by pulling back his hands
quickly. IT the bookbinder succeeds In
rapping the players knuckles, the one
raped becomes bookbinder and the
first %bookbinder takes his seat; other
wise he replaces the book and tries
with some n else.
The bookbinder may pretend to seize
a book without actually doing so, and
II the holder pulls away his hands SO
that the book falls he must take the
leaders, place just as If the knuckles
had been raped. The leader can make
this game quite exciting if he runs
quickly for one book and then seizes
another, thus keeping the players con-
stantly on the lookout.

Bourget and Germany.

Paul Bourgeois attack on Germany
and Germans has aroused much criti-
cism not only in German newspapers,
but in the papers where he expected
to receive support. The Paris Revue
says that Bourgeois words arouse only
painful sensations. when he speaks
of the venom of the miserable Kant
and of the musical misdeeds of Was-
ner, he harms himself only and does
nothing to lessen the fame of these
men of genius. France smiles ut the
assertion that she is under obligations
to German! for NOTHING, for it is we'll
known and a been proudly proclaim
ed by Bourget hat his maternal M
cestors came from Alsatia and origi-
nally from Germany. If for nothing
else, France is indebted to Germany,
then, for Bourget."

DR.. s. N. D. North, director of the
census, was asked the other day If his
bureau could tell the population OF the
United States in 1906 and 1907. I'VE
have made any official figures on
It," said he, but wait a minute"
He pushed a button that called a
messenger and wrote something on a
slip Of paper which the messenger
hurried away with. Before long the
messenger returned.
You asked for 1906 and 1907" the
director remarked. perhaps you
would also like to have the population
for 1908 and 1910. Well. the popula-
ton of the United States proper, not
including Alaska and Hawaii, for 1906
was S3,941,510; for 1907 it was $685.
761. For 1908 it will be sc, 1909, O62 and
for 1910 (when the government Is pre-
pairing to take a detailed census at
great EXPENSE it will be S9,661,669."
The director then paused to explain
that he had not counted the people.
That has not been done since 1900. but
