Sergeant Hawkins Resigns

John Hawkins, Tazewell's only
police officer, has sent in his reslgna-
tion, 10 take effect September LIST,
next. The only reason assigned 10y
the Sergeant Is that his salary is
inadequate for the amount of work
required of him. In addition 10 his
duties as police officer he Is also
collector of all town taxes, nearly
work enough altogether, for two
men. AS Tazewell only needs To
employ one officer IL does seem that
n good, living salary could be paid
him. Hawkins has made fine
officer, and the Council should he
slow 10 lose him.

That Blackberry Story

l.. G.. :. Compton, Thompson
Valley, called at the office on yester-'
day TO demand n correction OF that
blackberry tale which he was said to
have told, viz; that five people had
gathered 3S gallons OF berries each,
In one day. Com pton declares he did
not say leach, but that the crowd
gathered 3S gallons. We make the
correction. Some body has evidently
been n little reckless in handling the
truth, in other words, somebody
has lied,' as Mr.. Compton declares,
but did not undertake TO say who it
was.

LOST CHILD

Mr.. Rector, who lives near Pound
ing Mill, was here again this week
looking for his l4-year old daughter,
who ran away from home sometime

it is stated, has been offered for her.
Why she left home has not been
stated, so far as we have heard.

to thank Mr.. Cooper in person and OBJ

Another individual interviewed was
Mr.. ]. H. Brooks, living at 527 Walnut
street, who had the following to say:
For the past eighteen months l have
been a constant sufferer from catarrh
of the head and stomach. My nasal
passages would become inf1amed and
sore. would have severe headaches,
which affected my eyes, and great
crusts of matter would drop into the
throat. causing an irritation of the
bronchial passages, until the stomach
| finally became poisoned. When would
lay down at night phlegm would
| gather in my throat until it almost
! choked me, and would cause an an
moving cough. Half a bottle OF
i Cooper's New Discovery gave me re-
i lief. and when the first bottle was nm
i ished 1 felt like a new man. l am
now completely cured and consider
Coopers New Discovery the greatest
catarrh, blood and stomach remedy in

An adequate idea of the intense in
terest which has been aroused by
young Mr.. Cooper during the past year
with his theories and medicines is
given in the following article which
appeared in the Cincinnati Post while
Cooper was introducing his ideas to
the people of that city. The artlcie
says: 1.-THE beginning OF Mr.. cooper 5
second week in Cincinnati gives every
Indication that he is to enjoy the same
astonishing success here as IN other
cities.
"From the first day of his visit the
crowds that call to see him have stead
ily increased. until now it has reached
a point where several thousand talk
with him each day. The entire city
seems to have become interested in his
theory that the human stomach is
degenerate, and he already has an
army of followers in Cincinnati who
seem positive that his claims are cor
rect.
"a number of Cincinnatians were
interviewed at Cooper's headquarters
on Friday, and several interesting
statements, showing their intense faitf
in Cooper's preparations, were secured
The following are selected from these
statements and are characteristic o
them all: Mrs. M. E. Emerson OF 63l

fered with stomach trouble and con

Mr.. John P. Kerr, who is the
manager of Locke Craig's cam
paign for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Governor, announced
today that the progress of the
campaign thus far had met every
expectation of Craig and his
friends and that the latter has
secured not only all the votes he
could reasonably expect in the
counties which have held their
conventions, but ia fact more
than they had counted on. Up
to this date sixteen counties
have held conventions, five Of
these in Craig's congressional
district, the tenth; three in the
ninth;six in the eighth; one in
the fourth, and one in the first.
The result in these sixteen coun'
ties, which have a total of 125
votes in the State convention, is;
Craig IS, Kltchin II, Horne %,
uninstructed 5. 1t has been
claimed that Kitchin would carry
Lenoir solidly, but Mr.. Kerr
said that within theta fortni ght
this has changed, the friends Of
both Craig and Horne having
been at work, and the Craig ex
pectation is a division of the vote
in Lenoir.

The Democratic State Conven-

seems to be a number OF candl-
didates for everyimportant honor
which that convention can bestoW,
except delegates-at-large to the
national convention.
Four years ago, it was very
properly suggested, some time
before the State convention was
held. that Senators Simmons
and Overman be elected as two
If the delegates-at large from
North Carolina The suggestion
then made met with the hearty
approval of large majority of
the mem bers of the party.
Unfortunately a few over-zeal-
Gus friends of some other gentle
men, who desired to be dele
yates-at-large, began to urge
reasons why their candidates
should be selected instead of the
two Senators from North Caro-
lima.
Very naturally Senators Sim
mons and Overman did not care
60 allow their names pressed fol
The places, under such circum'
stances, and they let it be known
that they would not accept.
Before any other names are
mentioned in this connection,
write to suggest to my fellow
Democrats of the State that tn
two able and popular Senator
: from North Carolina be unani
mously elected as twoof the dele
gates at-large to the national COZ
= vention at Denver, by our Stat
convention when it meets

1t is fit nd proper that the
