PROPOSITION FROM & W.
Railroad Wishes to Reduce Pay Of Its
Thousands of Employees.

For the second time this year the
Norfolk and Western Railway Company
has submitted to its employees a propo-
sition looking to reduction of wages.
the reduction to remain in force until
normal business conditions are restored.
This proposition has been submitted to
the general chairmen of the various
labor organizations identified with the
road, and it will be voted on by every
lodge Of the various orders throughout
the system. The ballots, prepared by
the general chairmen, have been sent
out from Roanvke, and the 18th of Au-
gust has been assigned as the day on
which the general chairman is to report
the result to the Norfolk and Western
management.
When the Norfolk and Western made
its first proposition several months ago.
the matter was communicated to each
organization by its respective chairman,
and only the name of that chairman was
signed to the communication. In the
present case, however, the communica-
tion is signed by all the general chair
men.
While nothing of an official character
can be said in regard to the result, it is
freely predicted in railroad circles that
the vote will be in opposition to the ac-
ceptance of any plan looking to a reduc-
tion of wages.

BRYAN AFTER NEGRO VOTE.
Man With peculiar Facilities" Engaged
To Organize Them Against Taft.

Lincoln, Neb., July 20. According to
Democratic leaders who conferred with
Bryan, the ability of the Democratic
party to secure the negro vote in Ohio
will depend largely upon the attitude of
Senator Foraker. While he remains
outside of the Republican breastworks,
at least as regards Taft, Democrats feel
assured of large negro support in that
State. If Foraker supports Taft, it is
conceded there is little probability of
enrolling sufficient negro voters for the
Democracy to materially effect the re-
suit. The Democrats, headed by Former
Attorney General Monnett, of Colum-
bus, and E. H. Moore, of Youngstown,
chairman of the last Democratic State
convention, have been instructed to
take every advantage of the Foraker
Taft feud.
The craftsmanship of the national
committee will not go to a southern
man because of the attitude of the
southern states toward the negro. The
position Ollie James, of Kentucky, took
in favoring disfranchise nent, made his
appointment out of the question.

BALTIMORE AGAINST BRYAN.
Financial and Commercial Men Are All
For Taft.

Baltimore, Md, July 20 Every large
financial and commercial house in Balti-
more is arrayed solidly against Bryan.
These leaders of industry are in most
instances Democrats, and while for bus
mess reasons they will not openly de-
clare for Mr.. Taft, they will admit con-
fidentially that they are not going to
vote for Bryan. One of the largest
clothing manufacturers in Baltimore,
the head of firm which employs hun
dreds of workers, has stated that in the
event of Bryan's election he would at
once close down his factory.
I'VE have too much capital invested
to take any chances with a man like
Bryan in the presidential chair, and our
only safety would be in closing down.
We have on our pay rolls hundreds who
have been with US for years, and to
close down would mean hardships for
them, but then you know self-preser-
vation is the first law of nature, and I
have no hesitation in saying that If
Bryan is elected our factories will close
with the polls

This No Time for Wage Reduction.

New York, July 81. Chairman Henry
Fink, of the Norfolk and Western Rail-
road, in denying report that the road
was making an effort to have its men
accept a reduction in wages, placed
himself on record as opposed at this
time either to reduction in wages or
an advance in freight rates.
"This is not the time for reduction
in wages, ne said. "It may come to
that but not yet. Neither is this the
time for an increase in freight rates.
1t is all very we'll to argue with ship
pers that they will be asked to pay only
a tenth of a cent more on some rates.
They know that their freight bills will
be larger, and that Is not pleasant at q
time like this. AS matter of fact, an
advance in freight rates is an impossi-
bility now or at any other time. 1t is
an impossihility because it involves
raising the rates on some things which
would not stand the higher rate. Rates
might well be put up when business re-
covers, but it cannot be a HORIZONTAL
increase"

NEWS ITEMS.
WHAT HAS RECENTLY TRANSFERRED
IN THE COUNTIES OF THIS
SECTION.

A double tragedy occurred Tuesday
In Lee county, Virginia, near what is
known as Frog section, in which Neil
Sutton and VIM. c. Williams, young
men of that county, were participants
and victims. The men quarreIled and
fought with pistols, Sutton dying in
stantly, and Williams few hours later.
Mr.. Charles MacAlister, of Philadel-
phia, has purchased of Mrs. M. M.
Caldwell, of Roanoke, Virginia, the
home of her father, the late General
James A. Walker. in Wytheville, Vir-
ginia, for $1,000. This property was
at one time the home of the late ex-Lieu-
tenant-Governor R. C. Kent, and is one
of the most desirable in the entire
Southwest.
While Curtis and Richmond Davidson,
sons of Mr.. Frank Davidson, a promi-
nent citizen of Wood, Scott county.
were playfully scuffling over a pistol in
room in their home Friday, the weap-
on was discharged, infiicting wound in
the younger boy, from which he died
that night. The little victim was 13
years old, while his brother is 16. The
tragedy has caused the family to be-
come Frustrated with grief.
Many years ago Judge McBroom and
the late l. C. Fowler, of Abingdon, pur-
chased tract of land of 1000 acres in
Russell county. The price paid was be-
tween 81 and SO per acre. The land is
in the famous Turkey Foot Creek sec
ton, and it now developes that three
large veins of coal underlies the entire
boundary. A railroad passes near the
land and another is being projected to
pass through it, rendering the property
valuable. An offer, it is said, of S1OO
per acre has been made for the land.
Mr.. Robert ]. Summers, of Abing-
don, and Miss Della Elizabeth Gobble, of
Holston Valley, were married in Bristol
at the home of Mr.. T. ]. Newman, on
the night of the 18th instant. 1t was
not at all a runaway marriage, but
matter of choice that the couple went
to Bristol. Mr.. Summers is at present
prosecuting attorney for Washington
county, and is well known throughout
Southwest Virginia. His bride is the
handsome and accomplished daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. James Gobble, of Holston,
and has large circle of friends with
whom she is very popular.
James Price, the aged murderer of a
man named Rhodes, in Russell county,
is to be hanged on Monday, the 9th
instant, unless a Communication of SEN
tence can be secured from Governor
Swanson. He was to have been exc
cuted in June but respite was granted
until the above mentioned date. The
condemned man is now past sixty years
of age. Should Price be hanged he will
be the last man to die in that manner in
Virginia, as the new law providing for
electrocution is now in effect; but Price,
having been convicted and sentenced
under the old law, will have to be exe-
cuted by hanging.

Captain Newberry at TazeweII.

Capt Samuel H. Newberry, of Bland
county, was at Tazewell on Tuesday,
en- route to Bluefeld, where he was GO
ing to visit relatives and friends. Cap
tain Newberry is now seventy-nine
years of age, but is still bright, hopeful
and with the glow of health on his aged
cheeks. He is remarkably we'll pre-
served, considering the adversities and
sorrows he has suffered in these recent
years.
More than twenty-five years ago Cap
tain Newberry was a conspicuous figure
in the politics of Virginia, and especial
ly in this section of the State. He was
a member of the first House Of Dele
gates of Virginia that assembled after
the war. In 1873 he was an indepen-
dent candidate for Congress in this dis
trict, and polled very large vote In
as Readjuster from the Senatorial
District composed of the counties of
Bland, Wythe, Giles and Pulaski. 1t
was at the memorable session of the
General Assembly of Virginia of 1892
that he broke with General Malone,
then the leader of the Readjuster party,
and became widely known as one of the
celebrated "Big Four" These were
all members of the State Senate; and
Newberry, of Bland, Hale, of Grayson
county, Lybrook, of Patrick county,
and Williams, of Nottaway county,
constituted the~'Big Four" Since his
retirement from the State Senate the
Captain has taken but little If any part
in the politics of Virginia.
About two years ago Captain New
berry published volume of poems un-
der the title of eagle Oak" Until
that volume appeared very few of his
friends, if any, knew that he ever
courted the muse. But when they read
its pages they found that there had
been living for years among these
mountains of ours a man who embodied
a poetic soul as well as a patriots
heart.
Captain Newberry was as gallant a
soldier as ever drew a sword for the
Lost Cause" He commanded COM
pany of infantry from Bland county,
and received terrible wounds at the bat
tie of Fort Donaldson, which made him
cripple for life.
His old time friends at Tazewell were
glad to meet him and grasp his honest
hand again; and no one more sincerely
than the editor of this paper.

Death Of Mrs. kilIeY.

The news of the death at her home in
Kimball, West Virginia, on last Thurs
day night, of Mrs. Killey, wife of DR..
j. H. Killey, has brought profound grief
to her large circle of friends in this and
other counties in the two Virginias.
Mrs. Killey was a most estimable and
devout christian lady, and was greatly
beloved by every one who knew her.
She was before her marriage to DR..
Killey, Miss Lide Clark, of Peterstown,
West Virginia, to which place her re-
mains were taken for burial. She is
survived by her husband and eight
children, among this number being Mrs,
r. B. Williamson, of Graham, and Miss
Annie Killey, who is well known in
Tazewell, where she was only recently
visitor, and her many friends here
will hear with sincere regret of this
sad affiiction.
