JOS. E. WARDEN
TAKES OWN LIFE
Popular Graham Officer, Brood
ing Over Recent Trouble,
Shoots Himself.

J. Il. Warden, town sargeant of
Graham, killed himself in a room in
the hotel at Graham on Tuesday
morning about 5 80 o'clock, by shoot
ing himself with a 3S caliber pistol.
Death was Instantaneous. There
was no one in the room with him at
the time. He was 81 years old, and
feaves a wife, who was n Miss Yost,
of Tazewell, and five small children.
He had an insurance policy of 81, 600.
The burial took plsce on Wednesday
evening at Graham, under the aus
pices of the lodge of 1. o. o. F., of
which he was a member.
The circumstances leading up TO.
and supposed TO be the cause of his
rash act, are peculiar and pathetic.
About Christmas, Warden shot and
killed a nergo, Alex Preston, whom
he went TO arrest, and had been sent
to the grand jury, which meets here
this month. Although said by those
who knew all the facts to have been
entirely justifiable, and the act ap-
proved by public opinion generally,
the killing preyed on his mind and
harassed him day and night. A few
nights before the suicide ne dreamed
that his little boy woke him up and
told him that Alex Preston, the
negro he killed, was at the door,
and wanted to see him. Warden got
up, so vivid and real seemed the
dream, and we 1t to the door, and on
opening it, uttered cry, and fell
fainting in the floor. He was restor-
ed by his wife, with great difficulty,
and told his wife that when he open
ed the door the nergO was actually
stranding In front of him on the
outside. This was, of course, imagi-
nation, but the circumstance, con-
nected with talk and rumor that all
sorts of things would be sworn
against him at the trial, seems to
have unbalanced him. For several
days before his death his strange
actions and talk were noticed by his
friends. On Monday night he did
not go to his home, which was near.

THE rowN's POOR.

A-.AD AON ~ = OOR.
During the severe weather which
has prevailed for several weeks a
number of families in the town have
had TO have assistance in the way
of groceries, coal, clothing, ETC.,
and every call has been promptly
and cheerfully met. 1t is only neces-
sary to let the fact be known that
women and children are needy, or
that there is sickness i'm family,
and help is prompt and liberal. In
response TO the article published i'm
last weeks News, there were several
responses-the first coming from III.
G. Peery, Esq, of North TaZewell,
with cash, then Mat Helmandollar, a
poor but true, good man, gave what
he could, then Miss Eta HaHkins
sent money and offers 10 do more.
Mrs. McBryde and Mrs. Geo. w. St.
Clair called TO inquire IL they could
help, and afterwards Mrs. McBryde
sent warm clothing, shoes and stock
+, ings TO this Office for the needy and
children. These good people may OBJ
jcet To having their names mentioned
publicly, but we. hope not. The editor
of the News is sort of distributing
agent and keeps constantly in touch
with the needy, and will see TO it
that every worthy and suffering
family is relieved, whether contribu-
tions are on hand or not. Already
more has been spent than received
by great deal, but n small amount
contributed last Thanksgiving has
been drawn upon, and is not quite
exhausted. If this weather continues
we must continue our help. There
is nothing else TO be done. No use
saying, "well they are sorry and
lazy" or what not. Children must
eat and be sheltered. However, the
people we have been helping are
worthy but poor, depending upon
day labor, with no credit in the
stores, and such weather as this sh uts
them out, and they must be helped,
and we ought to be glad of the Op-
J portunity TO carry sunshine and
warmth and comfort TO them-anC
we are.
Here is a remarkable fact: Tn,
families needing help so far have al
lived just outside the corporate linn
its of the town, and of course out o.
the towns Jurisdiction. There is
screw loose somewhere, in this mat
ter of jurisdiction, when it come
to helping the poor. The town ha
jurisdiction" of mile, we believe
outside the corporate limits W hen
comes TO making fellow behav
himself, and can arrest him for an,
misdemeanor, but if his family get
sick, and he happens to need help h
is shut out, even though he may HV
, few feet outside, Jurisdiction
pleaded on him by the town, and th
, tax payers who lives within tbe'' ju
risdiction" limits, have TO meet tn
extra expense. However, we are gla
of it. There are many people in thi
town who are glad of the opportuni
, ty to help, and do not care to delegal
\ the pleasant duty to corporation off
cials. Not that the town is doin
. nothing-there are several permar
. ent cases in town thatare being care
for all the time, and no one is turn
ed away who applies for help if liz

For County Commissioner.

To the Republican Voters Of Oxford Co.:
have decided to ask for the nomina-
ton for County Commissioner which the
next Republican County Convention will
bestow on some man from the southern
portion of the county to succeed the
Hon. Mr.. Faunce of Oxford, whose term
expires with this year, and who is not
seeking a reelection. 1t is after care
full consideration, with straightforward,
earnest, honorable ambition for the
honor and experience of the office, and
with a strong, and it seems to me, suffi-
cient claim of my home town for con-
sideration from your delegates, that
have decided to enter this contest. 1t
does not seem to be the proper time or
place to present these, or any claims, in
a simple announcement of candidacy
which is put out as a matter of news,
but ask you to ascertain and consider
these claims, and the whole situation
before you decide between candidates.
With only the best interests Of our
county and state at heart, am most re-
spectfully your fellow citizen.

LIFE GUARDS.

The Life Guards are two regiments of
cavalry forming part of the British
household troops. They are gallant
soldiers, and every loyal British heart is
proud of them. Not only the Kings
household, but yours, ours, everybody's
should have its life guards. The need
of them is especially great when the
greatest foes of life, diseases, find allies
in the very elements, as colds, influenza,
catarrh, the grippe, aud pneumonia do
in the stormy month of March. The
best way that We know of to guard
against these diseases Is to strengthen
the system with Hoods Sarsaparilla-
the greatest Of all life guards. It re.
moves the conditions in which these
diseases make their most successful at
tack, gives vigor and tone to all the vital
organs and functions, and imparts a
genial warmth to the blood. Remem.
Der the weaker the system the greater
the exposure to disease. Hoods Sar
saparilla makes the system strong.

Pensions.

On the 26th of February the pension
bill providing 81 per day for the ex-
soldiers of the civil war came up for con-
sideration in the National House of Rep
reseutatives, and was ably presented by
Gen. Sherwood, the author of the bill.
Petitions from all over the country in
behalf of the bill, some of them having
600 and 700 names signed to them, were
presented. Seven petitions or rolls of
petitions each 500 feet long, $500 feet in
all, signed by old veterans, were present
ed, besides hundreds of letters from ex-
soldiers and citizens, asking for the pass
age of the bill, yet one thing which
seems unexplainable except on the
ground of political jealousy, IA spirit too
small and mean to be held by any truly
patriotic statesman) occurred. Nearly
all the Republican members of the house
left their post of duty, and were con-
spicuous by their absence, during the
presentation of this important subject,
this bill backed up by petitions from
scholars, and professors in our colleges,
and prominent citizens in all parts of
the country. We find these facts sub
stantiated in the Congressional Record.
Why, we ask, did the Republican mem
bers of the house vacate their seats and
leave the hall when this, one of the most
important subjects before Congress. was
being considered? Was it because the bill
was originated and is being ably advo-
Gated by Democrat? is that why the
Republicans are holding back their in
fiuence from the support of this bill? If
so, they can count on big landslide this
fall when thousands of Republican voters
will join the Democratic army.
We are coming to period when our
politicians cannot Jungle with the votes
of their constituents, and count them
where they please. The voters of the
country are looking for men in Office
who will endorse and support any good
measure, no matter what the political
complexion of the member who original
es or presents the bill. We old soldiers
of the Republican party would like to
see some reasonable explanation, if there
is any, why the Republican members of
the National House of Representatives
left their seats and vacated the hall,
when this important measure was being
considered.

Candidate for Representative.

| hereby announce to the Republican
voters of this representative district that
| shall be a candidate for the Republican
nomination as representative to the next
session of the Legislature, and l hope
that there will arise no conflicting
claims from other sections of the town,
for in the last representative caucus in
Paris it was generally conceded that the
next nomination would belong TO the
western or northern end of the town, if
suitable candidate were presented.
On that basis l am asking the support
of my friends in the party, and should
not be a candidate if thought such
action would bring about an unpleasant
contest over sections or locality.
IL am nominated and elected, shall
do my best to fill the proper require
ments of the position. II l am not

did four years ago.
