A Bryan, Kern and Byars Club.

Why not organize n Democratic
club in Tazewell? There are good
reasons why we should do so, and at
once. The ticket is now complete,
and the field is open, and we should
enter, and if IA campaign is to be
waged let it be vigorous and hct
one from start to finish. If cam
paign is TO be waged let it not be
gumshoe campaign, but active and
aggressive. The Democrats have no
money to use, and would not If they
could and could not if they would,
but they have got men-strong. in
tellectual men who can speak, and
whether successful or not should en-
ter heartily into this fight. Let the
people know the truth as To the great
issues impending. Mr.. Byars, the
young and vigorous candidate, is
preparing for an active campaign,
and shonId have the unqualified
support of every Democrat in the
District, and every loyal citizen of
Virginia. This paper has expressed
its firm belief in the probability of
n ''land slide" this fall in favor of
the Democratic ticket, and should
this occur the'ticket in the Ninth
District will share in the gains also,
and what may happen may be q
surprise. Win or lose il is the relig-
ious duty of every Democrat in the
District to sound the alarm, aDC
make the woods ring with the gospe
of honesty and fairness against cor
ru ption and partiality in the admin
istration of the Government. Let
Bryan-Kern-Byars Club be oragnize,
and otherwise set the wheels in mo
tion at once.

A SLEMP FROST
IN WYTHEvILLE
Republican Candidate For Con-
gress Could Mt Open Campaign
Because of No Audience.

Bristol, Va, August 12-ARound
the headquarters in this city of Hon.
j. ClOyd Byars, Democratic candi-
date for Congress from the ninth dis
trict, there is an air Of satisfaction
over the failure of CongressmanC. B.
Slemp TO open his campaign in
Wytheville on Monday. The speak
ing was generally advertised, but the
crowd failed to materialize, and the
Republicans did not hold n meeting,
in spite of the fact that il 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
ii is taken here TO indicate that the
fiasco shows lack of enthusiasm in
Mr.. Slemp's candidacy, which looks
good TO Mr.. Byars.
Mr.. Byars' friends have already
begun their work of oganization,
and il is very evident that there will
be no lack of energy in pushing the
work of the campaign. Encouraging
reports continue To come in from all
orver the district, and, while Mr..
Byars' campaign committee has not
yet been selected, ii is certain that
there will be continued assaults upon
the enemy's position until the morn
ing of the election.

Wiping Out Old Scores.

One good result OF the meetings. so
far, has been the obliterating and
wiping out of old animosities and
hatreds. A number of people who
have been passing on the
street and even at church, without
speaking TO each other have shaken
hands and begun over again. 1t is "A
good thing TO right up and level up,
and get straight with your fellow
men first, and only then can there be
hope of getting right with the

MUCH GOOD DONE
BY THE REVIVAL
Meeting Still in Progress in the
Methodist Church-Great Ser
mons and Fine Singing.

The meetings have grown in in
tereSt all the week. Two services
each day-l0 n. m. and s p NJ
have been held, with Il children 5
service every other day, at p. m.
The preaching of Mr.. Hamilton has
greatly pleased and benefited his
hearers. His sermons are clear,
evangelical and convincing, without
pomposity or pretension, and devoid
of any thing like c,aptrap methods
His voice played him n mean tric.
10y almost breaking down near In,
beginning of the meeting, ami this
has hindered him perhaps, but has
not detracted from the spirit OF his
sermons.
The crowds have been large, par
ticualrly at night. On more than
one occasion il was necessary To put
chairs i'm the aisles. The stores and
business houses have been generally
closed from ten To eleven O'Clock
each day. Many of the business men
and n number of young people have
come out publically and expressed n
determination To lead christian
life, and walk the narrow path, with
Gods help.
The awakening and religious feel
sing In the community is wider and
more far-Ieaching than any series of
meetings held here for years. The
different churches have taken COM
mendable interest in the meetings,
as II rule, and, SO far as method and
public utterances goes, have been un-
denominatlonal, and general ly
characterized by IA degree of inform
ality. Everybody seems To feel at
home. The skeptic and the doubter,
however, we still have with us who
says, "Oh well, IL won't last long, |
have no confidence i'm these excite
ments.' ~ However this may be there
is no doubt but that great good has
already been accomplished, and the
work goes on.

PRICE SAVED
FROM GALLOWS
Governor Commutes Sentence of
Aged Russell County Murder
er-Other Notes of Interest.
Lebanon, Va, Aug. 13.

hSOduOn, d., aug To-
The Governor has commuted the
sentence of Jas. Price TO life impris-
onment in the peniteptiary, thus
cheating the gallOws out of its just
dues. Among the Governors reasons
for committing the sentence was that
Price was an old Confederate soldier.
. He was for while member of the
37th Virginia Regiment, but Major
H.C. Wood informed the writer that
he deserted and went to the enemy,
ed and sentenced TO be shot. The
night before he was to he shot he
made his escape from the guard and
went to East Tennessee and was
with a lawless element, known as
Bushwhackers and robbers After the
surrender he came back TO Washing
ton county, Virginia, and was in a
number of disreputable things. He
was bad man in many respects. He
murdered S. S. Rhoads without any
provocation and was tried by jury
of his county and had good counsel
aud they returned vredict of murd-
er In the first degree. His case was
appealed to the Supreme Court and
that body refused writ of error and
his next effort was pam himself
Off as an old soldier, and number
of them signed the petition but not
being satisfied with his war record,
they began to investigate and learn
ed of the facts enumerated and notifi-
ed the Governor. 1t is true number
of citizens signed the petition on ac-
count Of his two sons, rs they are
good, orderly citizens, but public
sentiment was for hanging. Capt.
Pattie left last Friday, having him
in charge to remain in the peniten-
tiary during the rest of his life, pro-
vided however, execution clemency
don't interfere and turn him out.
A humane society is badly needed
in Lebanon. A brute in humane
form, passed Sunday on a mule going
on 3 feet and they were 80 tender
that the poor beast could hardly put
his foot down. A fine worked out on
the public roads would be lesson TO
such a human character.
Work is progressing on the new
road building in Lebanon, and
goodly number OF houses are going
up. When the Lebanon and Cleve-
land road is completed Lebanon will
grow as she never did before.
Rev. Mr.. Mcpherson, assisted by
Rev. j. l.. Sandoe of Wise, are in
the midst of a genuine revival of re-
ligion miles North of Lebanon.
A band of robbers are applying
their nefarious trade along the
Clinch Valley. They made au effort
TO break into the Postoffice at st.
Paul but was scared away by an en-
CINE running up and stopping in
front of the postofiice. Their next
effort was at Honaker. They broke
into J. III. Meade's store and used
nitro-glycerine and secured from his
iron safe SO and destroyed notes
and other valuable papers.
