vile Hotel at this place. The contract

and Miss Bertha Pearman, who acted
as attendants at the wedding; and Rev.
l.. M. Cartright, of Graham, who per-
formed the ceremony. Quite number
of interested persons, guests of the
hotel and friends about town, witnessed
the marriage. Immediately after the
ceremony was concluded the party en-
tered carriages and started for the
groom's home in Horsepen Cove, where
a wedding dinner will be served after
their arrival. AS the bride and groom
entered their carriage the ladies who
had gathered to witness their depart
ure showered rice upon them. They
were both young and good looking, and
appeared to be blissfully happy.

Tent Meeting Has Closed,

The great tent meeting which had
been going on at Graham for about six
weeks, closed Thursday night of last
week. For four weeks the meeting
continued with unabated interest in
West Graham and then the tent was
moved into Graham proper, where SER
vices have been held twice daily for the
past two weeks. All places of business
IN the town were closed early each
night in order that business might not
keep anyone away from the services.
The meeting was conducted mainly by
Rev. l. NJ. Cartright, and his untiring
efforts made 1t the success that it has
been. He was for several weeks as
sisted by Rev. E. L. Addington and
other prominent ministers, among whom
were Rev. Thomas Priddy, of Blue
field, W. Va, and Rev. ], N. Harmap,
of Tazewell, who rendered valuable and
appropriate services.
Often the congregations reached the
five hundred mark, and the spacious
tent was often unable to accommodate
those seeking admittance, Much good
has been done at this meeting. In West
Graham alone there were more than a
hundred conversions and professions of
faith and in Graham proper the number
was swelled possibly half hundred
more.

Closed Deal for Wheat.

The Roanoke Times of the 18th inst
ant says at is reported that two
parties came to Roanoke several days
ago from Chicago and closed deal with
Mr.. K. B. Stoner, of Fincastle, Va,
for the exclusive rights to the wonder
full wheat which Mr.. Stoner has devel-
oped within the past few years. The
story of this wheat has been learned by
a great many peopleI for it has been
told the country over. Mr. Stoner, it
is said accidentally discovered the wheat
on his farm, and from one bunch of it
secured a large yield of seed, with
which he has conducted many success
full experiments. This variety of wheat,
it is said, has q yield immeasurably su
perior to that of the old varieties. The
Chicago parties are said to have paid
1925, 900 for Mr.. stoner's rights in the
wheat"

TAFT NOTIFIED
OF NOMINATION,
Republican Presidential Candidate Told
OF Conventions Action.
HEARS NEWS At CINCINNATI HOME.
Many Thousands Join In The DemOnstra-
tiOn to The Nominee Of The
Grand Old Party.

Cincinnati, o., July 28.-Amid the
olare of brass bands, the stirring strains
OF martial music and the huzzas of en-
tnusiastic crowds, Judge William H.
TAFT was formally notified TODAY of his
nomination for the presidency by the
Republican national convention, which
was held in Chicago last month. The
rally, In point of numbers and enthusi-
asm, far outranked any demonstration
OF like character ever held in Cincin-
natl The event was in every detail a
most glorious and gratifying success.
One conspicuous feature of the de-
monstration was the prevalence of Taft
and Sherman badges. Nearly every
one OF the tens of thousands of people
seen about the streets wore some insig-
MA of his devotion to the Republican
cause They were everywhere.
The crowds that surged about the
Taft home and overran the lawns and
steps threatened almost to wreck the
house itself in the general eagerness to
hear the speeches and see what was 90
ing on.
half past eleven found the members
of the notification committee at the
Taft residence in readiness for the real
event of the day. 1t was after twelve
O'Clock, however, before the ceremo-
MES began. The speech-making was
conducted from a platform erected on
the lawn. Surrounding it were the
members of the notification committee,
the local reception committee and a
host OF eminent party leaders gathered
from every section of the country.
There were but two addresses, that of
Senator Warner, as chairman of the
notlflcation committee, and that of
Judge Taft accepting the nomination.
In his speech of acceptance, Judge
Taft pledged anew his allegiance to the
policies of President Roosevelt, and de-
clared that the chief function of the
next Republican administration will be
to clinch what has already been accom-
plshed by the present occupant of the
White House. He also discussed trusts,
inJunctions, the physical valuation of
railroads, the currency, postal savings
banks, which, he declared, were prefer
able to the Democratic plan of govern
ment guarantee of deposits, and all the
other issues which he regarded as per-
tinent in the coming campaign, and con-
cluded with the declaration that as be-
tween the Two old parties the difference
consisted of the fact that with Republi-
can success there would be prosperity;
with Democratic victory, business DIS

6raham Left Out in The Cold.

The Graham correspondent of the
Bluefeld Telegraph says, Graham
has reason to feel sore. All the other
towns in Virginia and all the counties
except Tazewell have been able to dis
cover some relatives within their bor-
ders of ''Whiskered' Johnny Kern.
the Democratic vice-presidential candi-
date Roanoke started the story of
Kern's Virginia relatives, and then in
quick succession Fincastle and several
other towns followed. Next came near
ly all Of the counties in extreme
Southwest Virginia. The citizens of
Graham, both Democrats and Republi-
cans, have been looking up their gene
alogies in the hope of being able to trace
some relationship to the great Hoosier,
but the nearest to success yet is one
prominent Republican whose wife has q
sister at Troutville who lives next door
to niece of John W. Kern. This Re.
publican has not yet said whether OF
not he will swerve from the trodder
path and vote for the tufted candidate,

TURKISH VEIL
Is NO MORE.
Had Hidden the Traditional Beauty Of
The Women For Centuries.
a MOST STARTLING INNOVATION.
Men Cheer The Unveiled Women Through
out The Empire Whenever Their
Smiling Faces are Seen.

Berlin, July %. The Turkish veil.
which, for ages, has hidden the tradi-
tional beauty of the Turkish wofnen.
has been torn away in the wreck of the
old regime, and today, according to dis
patches received from Turkey, thous-
ands of unveiled women are paradino
the streets, rejoicing in the new-found
freedom.
The innovation, the most startling in
the history of the Ottaman Empire, is
being welcomed by the men, who cheer
the unveiled women at every opportu-
nifty. The whole outward appearance
of the empire has been changed by the
new order of things. On every hand
the smiling faces of women are seen.
instead Of the sombre, ugly wells that
hid them from the world.
The most remarkable feature of the
political upheaval in Turkey which has
just resulted in the granting of a con-
stitution by the Sultan, has been the
participation Of hundreds of thousands
OF women, who emerged from the pri-
vacy Of harems, tore off their wells and
marched bravely through the streets.
The first women to abandon their
wells were those at Monastir, the hotbed
OF the revolution. The command of the
Koran that women should appear veiled
In public, was cancelled by Moslem
priest, who issued his proclamation
from the mosque.
I'VE will help to make the world
beautiful by the act" the priest de-
clared.
Many remarkable scenes greeted the
radical change, but without exception
the innovation is approved.

The Revival MeetIno.

For some time the Methodists have
been making preparations for the re-
vival meeting to begin Sunday. The
very best of ministerial help has been
secured. DR.. Hawk, of Bluefield, has
proven not only one of the leading pas
tors and preachers in the Holston Con-
ference, but also q preacher of rare
evangelical gifts.
Mr.. Ramsay, who will have charge of
the choir, was for several years the
leader Of song in George Stuart's big
meetings.
The people of Tazewell need a great
religious awakening. Too many of the
Christian people are Indifferent to their
high calling and many are yet unsaved.
Let the people pray and work that this
time of opportunity be not lost.

Candidates.
ADOPTS A LENGTHY PLATFORM.
1t DenOunees Watering OF Stocks, FavOrs
Direct Nomination Of officials, the
Initiative and Referendum, Etc.

Chicago, July 28.-The Independence
party tonight nominated Thomas Hisgen
OF Massachusetts for President of the
United States on the third ballot
John Temple Graves, of Georgia, was
nominated for ice-President.
But little work was accomplished at
the first session of the Independence
party convention owing to protracted
debate among the members of the reso-
lutions committee on the question of
how the currency plank should be ex-
pressed.
The feature of central bank was
strongly distasteful to several members
OF the committee, some of whom de-
clared that they had left the Republi-
can party because of its adherence to
this principle, and if the Independence
party was going to advocate the same
doctrine they might as we'll return to
their first love.
The platform was accepted by the
convention with every demonstration of
enthusiasm and the utterances of the
party as expressed therein were unani-
mously indorsed.
The platform adopted is a lengthy
one and it denounces the watering of
stocks, favors direct nomination of Off
Gals, the initiative and referendum, the
right to recall and has a plank dealing
with injunctions.
There was no nomination on tie first
Two ballots. On the third ballot the
vote set toward Hisgen and it was soon
evident that his nomination was certain.
A roar of applause followed the an
nouncement of the ballot and a motion
making the nomination unanimous was
adopted with a yell.

POLL TAX TO
FRONT AGAIN.
Ruling Of Judge Martin Of Norfolk StirS
YiSinia'S Electorate.
SUPREME COURT TO DECIDE NATTER.
Question as to The Meaning Of Personal
Payment Will Go Before That
Body in September.

Richmond, Va, July 27.-'Fully one
half of the voters of this city are dis
qualified and can not vote in the election
this fall, if the decision of Judge Mar
tin, of Norfolk, is sustained by the Su-
preme Court of Appeals" This was
the announcement made today by Dep
uty Treasurer Held, of this city. Just
who are disfranchised the officer could
not say, as the records do not show who
paid ''in person" and who paid by
check or through other agencies
clerks, real estate agents, corporations
paying for all officers and the like. The
matter is one which will puzzle cleo
tion officers. What is more, those who
have voted in the primaries for munic-
ipal officers and for city officers are
liable to prosecution for illegal voting,
and the election officers may have
trouble.
There is no reason to believe that the
decision will be upheld, as many of the
best lawyers of the State are of the
opinion that a check for taxes, or when
paid by agents who attend to the mat
ter for their clients, is legal tender
and not in violation of the law. The
vote in the cities of the State will be
only fifty per cent of the normal IL the
decision is validated by the appellate
court, and officers who have been nomi-
mated in primaries and then elected,
may find that their offices are being
held illegally. The matter is one which
is attracting much attention throughout
the entire State, and, therefore, the
necessity for an opinion by the Supreme
Court at the coming September term in
Staunton.
