Col. Joseph E. Willard
Dear Mr.. Editor

Dear Mr.. Editor:
Permit me TO say few words in
tn columns of your paper in regard
10 the candidates for Governor in
1909.
The candidates are all good men.
Each OF them are worthy of the
honor OF being the Governor of the
Mother OF States. Mr.. Stuart is a
Russell county man. Judge Mann
is an aged Confederate soldier. But
both OF these men are entangled with
the Rhea investigation. Therefore we
cast our eyes with pride 10 man
who was in the last race for the NOM
inantion. A man who stands high
with rank and file of the Democratic
party, Col. Joseph +. Willard. Mr..
Willard bore his defeat like a man.
The scribes holds the following letter
today which Mr.. Willard wrote ON
August 81, 1905, a few days after the
primary election at which Mr..
Swanson was NOMINATED a candidate
for Governor. The letter is as fol-
lows:
Richmond, Va, Aug. 81, 1905.
My Dear Friend:
Now that the 'smoke of battler
has blown from the field, L hasten
To write you line to assure YOU of
my deep appreciation of your efforts
In my behalf in the recent canvass.
Though defeated L am not at all
"cast down." and shall give the
nominee my hearty support.
My friends everywhere will place
me under further obligations by Join
Ing me in earnest efforts for a glor
ious victory in November.
Sincerely your friend,
JOSEPH f. WILLARD.
This letter could only have been
penned by a man of intelligent
Democratic brain. We hope to see
him Governor in the near future. Let
all Democrats unite their efforts in
MS behalf and elect him our next
Governor in November, 1909.
Yours very truly,
RUSSELL. COUNTY READER.

THE WILLARD EDITORIAL

n If country editors wrote only what
Fpleases the people, and expressed on
~ popular views on current ques-
tions, they would never know wheth-
or their papers are read or not. In
order To find on who reads and who
does not, let something Objectionable
be printed, or some mistake be made,
and il will be heard from. There is
no use - certainly no disposition
manifesto tell the editor of the
good and pleasing things he may
publish, but the mistakes and OBJ
jectionable must be called down.
This trait in human nature was
forcefully illustrated by the short
editorial which appeared i'm recent
issue of this paper suggesting
merely suggesting-that Mr.. Willard
would make a good Governor, and an
admirable, compromise candidate.
Friends of the aVowed candidates
from more than one section, "iumped
ON us and asked if the Clinch Val
ley News had "gone crazy etc. ,
and that such an editorial hurts. -
IL was mere suggestion, but as "a
feeler' ii accomplished the purpose,
and brought out the fact that Hon.
IL. {. Stuart is ut this time ut least,
the choice of the Ninth District for
Governor.

WHAT SOME OF THF SMALLER
TOWNS ARE DOING

From private letter from State
Superintendent j. ID. Eggleston, Jr.,
we take the following facts and
figures as to what some of the small
Ter towns are doing i'm the way of
school building, improvement, etc
South Boston, a smaller town than
Tazewell, has recently erected a
school building, at cost of SD, 900
one of the finest buildings in the
South, and well equipped all
through.
Emporia, town of about I5C0
population, has just finished ST,
600 building. Maratinsville one at a
cost of So, 900, and Big Stone Gao a
fine building at $50, 600. These towns,
one or two of them smaller or about
the size of Tazewell, and not perhaps
i'm as good shape as Tazewell iinanci-
ally, have gone ahead and put them
selves solid on the school question.
The increase i'm taxation, if any at
all, is "A mere nothing for such an
amount. This, however, should not
be allowed 10 stand i'm the way of
providing adequate school facilities
These must be provided at any cost
as cheap as possible, of course, but
at any cost. In fact, il isn't Il Qucs-
ton of dollars and cents OF far
greater than any money conisdera-
ton is the importance of proper
school facilities for our children.
We live for our children-we live i'm
our children. The future of our town
and country depends upon the chill
dren, and we must and will educate
them.

Mr.. Johnson's Statement

There is great deal OF sim ilarity
in the statements of Governor John
A. Johnson, of Minnesota, and OF
William Jennings Bryan as To their
respective positions regarding the
Democratic Presidential nominee.
Governor Johnson says: eff those
who have the welfare OF the country
and the Democratic party at heart
should feel that 1 am necessary in
this year of grace, / shall certainly
respond TO any call which NAV be
made upon me-. This in substance
is what Mr.. Bryan had to say.
But while the Minnesota Governor
has thus signified his willingness,
there is nothing in his statement to
bring joy to the hearts of the anti
Bryan element, for he concludes in
these words:
In this connection L desire it I'M
derstood that In no sense am 1 to be
candidate for the purpose of defeat
ing Mr.. Bryan or any other man:
that the only consideration which
would induce me To show the use of
my name would be the feeling that
L might be necessary to the cause. If
the Democratic party should see fit
to nominate Mr.. Bryan or anyone
else the action would meet with nv
approval and the nominee certainly
would have my unqualified support
as L should expect his support if
conditions were reversed"
Mr.. Bryan too has distinctly stat
ed that he will take no steps to bring
about his own nomination, but at the
same time in his business as lectur-
er the Nebraskan is visiting and
speaking in every section of the
country. And while Mr.. Bryan can
so do without being inconsistent.
such a thing is impossible for Cover
nor Johnson. For the latter to begin
lecturing, would certainly be "doing
something to bring about" his own
nomination; while, on the other
hand, the former was lecturing as
business before he made any STATE
ment.-Lynchburg News.

into line. a special correspondent,
MIR. Copeland, has been over the
ground, studying the situation, and
his diagnosis has led the News
Leader TO conclude that the remedy
for the ills which envelop us, is
"strict enforcement of the law" by
which is meant, We suppose, the
Barksdale pure election law, which
says that poll taxes must be paid
"personlly," and otherwise forbids
the use of money i'm elections except
legitimate purposes" The strict en-
forcement of the law forbidding the
use of money would no doubt, change
the result materially. But the trouble
is To enforce the law. First OF all,
there has been n doubt from the start
as 10 just what the clause personally
pay in the poll tax Jaw, means,
and advantage has been taken of this
ambiguous expression by candidates
and party workers-both sides The
law is defective, and cannot be en-
forced in its present shape. The truth
is, this Barksdale law has operated

ATTACKED By ANGRY BULL.
Two Young Women Frightened and
Injured by FerocioUs Animal.

Chased by an angry bull, Misses
Phoebe Polhemus and Jessie Cava-
naugh tried to take refuge in a tree
in their uncle's pasture, near Jack
sonyiNe, N. J. Miss Polhemus was
climbing a small birch, when she
felt the tree shaking violently and
fell
The girl landed upon the back OF
the bull, which she clutched as a
drowning man clutches at a plank.
The animal bounded off across the
uneven ground, carrying her quar-
ter of mile before it stumbled and
fell, throwing Miss Polhemus over
it's head.
The shock that had shaken Miss
Polhemus out of the tree was caused
by Miss Cavanaugh being tossed by
the bull into the branches. Wnen
Farmer Cavanaugh rushed to the as
sistance of his nieces, he found Jes-
sic hanging from limb by her
skirts. The girls were hysterical
Miss Cavanaugh was badly bruised

LOCKER CLUBS
Over in Georgia Will Be Put Out
of BUSINESS.
United States Judge Speer Rules that
Each Member Of Them Must Pay
Twenty-Five Dollars License

A dispatch from Savannah. &C., tc
the Augusta Chronicle says 'trou
bic Of deep nature is looming ahead
FOR the locker clubs OF Georgia
those oases In the desert into which
the prohibition haze converted. the
State, and unto which those who are
sore at thirst are wont to wend their
way.
This trouble is not that which is
lurking in the approaching session OF
the legislature, but it awaits; the
clubs in the term of the United
States court for the Southern district
of Georgia, which is to convene in
Savannah on February 20. Judge
Emory Speer sounded the docket for
the term. He will return to hold
court beginning February 20.
Asked about the status Of the
locker clubs in Georgia, Judge Speer
caused surprise when he said that
he would charge the United States
grand jury that the clubs are con-
Quoted in opposition to the statute
requiring that each place where Ii
Quor is sold or dealt in in any way
shall pay 6. license Of SIS to the fed
eral government. Each and every
member OF the clubs, said Judge
Speer is, under the law, liable for
such license. He is required to
take out such a license and to post
in CONSPICUOUS place.
Thus far the mem bers in no case
have complied with the law, and the
judge says he will charge the jury to
investigate this omission. This, of
course, means the death Of locker
clubs.
Judge Speer said the impression
prevails up the State that no Savan-
nah jury would take cognizance Of
failures to observe the prohibition
law. This, he is not inclined to be-
lieve, be said, for he had found Sa-
vannah citizens ever ready to do their
duty as jurors.
However, the judge naively con-
tinued, that If he found it necessary
he might call upon the sturdy yeo-
OF Bullock, Emanuel, Screw
en- and other neighboring counties to
como to his aid in enforcing the law.
"It was quite evident that Judge
Speer was fully informed OF the ra-
pid mushroom growth OF locker
clubs in Savannah. t
