A few days later the Baptist General
Association of Virginia, held at Ports
mouth, Va, passed strong resolutions
substantially in line with the foregoing
resolutions of the other churches.
Now, Mr.. Editor, your statement
above quoted brands every preacher
and all the churches in Virginia with in
consistency, insincerity or inexcusable
ignorance. For this you ought to apol-
ogize, and, so far as you can, make
reparation for the wrong you have
done.
The question at issue is not only q
moral one, but is a great question of
governmental policy, affecting every
man, woman and child in the State of
Virginia, regardless of their politics.

WILL APPEAL
LITTLE CASE.
Man Convicted of SsrtupIe Murder in Buch-
anan County May Yet Escape the EIec-
tric Chalr-AttOmey Preparing Case
For The Supreme COud,

Roanoke, Va Dec. A large num-
Der of citizens have visited the Jail here
to see Howard Little, who is charged
with the murder of six people in Buch-
anan county, and nearly all have come
away with doubts about the guilt of the
man. Among those who have visited
Little is Mr.. w. W. Huff, a prominent
business man, who lived for some time
in that section. After a talk with Lit
tie he came to the conclusion that he
ought to have a new trial. Judge N. II.
Hairston has stated that if a new trial
can be gotten for Little he will defend
him free of charge.
Little has received from his attorney.
Bert T. Wilson, of Lebanon, a letter
stating that he is taking steps to bring
the case to the attention of the Court
of Appeals, and that he had written the
authorities of the penitentiary at Rich
mond not to remove him from the Roam
oke jail until after the Court Of Appeals
had had an opportunity to pass on the
matter.
Little passes his days quietly, and to
look at him, one would never suppose
that he rests under the shadow of doom.
DE looks strong and healthy, and judg-
ing by his appearance, he will meet his
fate stoically.
A number of the citizens here are in
terested in the case and will do all they
can to secure for the condemned man a
new trial.

Republicans and Prohibition.
Tazewell, Va, Dec. 6,

Tazewell, Va, Dec. 6, 1909.
Mr.. Editor:-
Replying to your two column editorial
in last weeks issue of The Tazewell
Republican, under the heading "Keep
Out of the Fight" beg to say that /
did not support Mr.. Bryan in 1896, but
voted for Mr.. Levering, the Prohibition
candidate for President. On personal
grounds l did support Judge Williams
for Congress. In this deviation from
the path of political rectitude had be-
fore me your example in 1894, when you
not only bolted Gen. Walkers nomina-
ton, but actually canvassed the dis
t-ict for his opponent, Judge Morrison.
/ have heard that you made some very
bitter speeches against the Republican
nominee in that campaign. Therefore,
it seems to me that you are skating on
very thin ice when you criticise my po-
litical record, and you ought to remem-
ber the old adage that "those who live
in glass houses should never throw
rocks" suggest that we both plead
the statute of limitation on these slight
departures from the faith. Generally
it is never very safe for one to look too
too far back over his political record.
The Republicans have long since for
given you, and never did censure me for
this temporary absence from the ranks
AS evidence of this, mention the fact
that about q year after l fell from
grace was reinstated and made county
chairman of the party, and in 1901 was
elected to the State Senate; and you,
upon your penitence and confession,
have long since been admitted into the
inner circle of Republican councils
Say now, Brother Pendleton, let the
dead past bury its dead, and we will
discuss the real issue.
THE REAL ISSUE.
You say, '"The Statewide movement
is purely political game that is being
played in Virginia by the leaders of the
Democratic party" and that
it is ga cause that has proven itself in
consistent and insincere."
l say that the Statewide movement
under the leadership Of the Anti-Saloon
League of Virginia is "the Church in
action against the saloon"
In support Of your contention you can
only cite the action of q few individuals
whom you suspect as using the League
for party political purposes.
In support of my statement of the
real issue submit the action Of church
conventions, conferences and associa-
tions as follows: In 1907, at the con.
vention of the Christian Churches held
at Norfolk, Va, cooperation was
pledged to the Anti-Saloon League ir
its effort to abolish the saloon. Agair

ton Papers for Attorney GsnaraI Elect
S. W. Williams, Of Virginia.

Charleston, w. Va, Dec. 5.-Prose-
cutting Attorney Robert r. Smith, of
Mcdowell county, has made application
70 Governor Glasscock for requisition on
the Governor of Virginia for Atto1 ney
General-elect Samuel W. Williams, of
Virginia, now under indictment in Nc
Dowell county on a charge of felonious
assault committed upon Judge Joseph
III. Sanders, an opposing attorney, dur
ing recent term of the circuit court at
Welch. Governor Glasscock, who is
now at Hot Springs, Va, has not yet
acted upon the application.
Richmond, Va, Dec. 7.-Because of
the illness of Governor Glasscock, of
West Virginia, who is at the Virginia
Hot Springs recuperating from an at
tack Of ptomaine poisoning, no requisi
ton has yet been made upon the Cover
nor of Virginia for Judge Samuel w.
Williams, attorney general elect of this
State, who is under indictment for fe-
lonious assault upon Judge Joseph M.
Sanders, formerly a Supreme Court
JosNlCc VI WeSS flfBlnlh, VINO was the
opposing counsel in will case in which
Judge Williams was interested at re-
cent term of court at Welch. The lie is
said to have passed between the two
men and blows struck. Judge Williams
is alleged to have heaved an ink well at
Judge Sanders.
Nothing will be given out at the of
fee of the Governor here until such
time as formal requisition is received.
There appears to be some doubt, how
ever, as to whether Judge Williams will
return to Welch without extradition.
Prosecuting Attorney R. R. Smith, of
Mcdowell county, w. Va, has accord
ingly made application to Governor
Giasscock for requisition papers. Gov
eTlor Glasscock has given no intimation
as to whether or not he will honor the
application, and he will not decide until
he has re-assumed his official duties at
Charleston.

FRIENDS or SHIVELY
TO THE FRONT NOW
Speculation Rife as to the
Friendship Between Ham
mond Man and Senator.
8. B. SILVER IN LIMELIGHT
Is Not Seeking Preferment Because
of Relatiop-Has Desirable
Position With Government.

The Hammond friends of G. B. Stiv-
er, 651 May street, are wondering what
the election of Benjamin F. Shively
of South Bend to the United States
senate will mean to the Hammond man.
Mr.. Silver, who is a government in
spector in the Hammond distillery has
the distinction and pleasure of being
a very close friend to the newly elect
ed senator, such a close friend, in
deed, that Mr.. Shively was willing to
go on Mr.. Stiver's bond. This, how
ever, must not be construed to mean
that Mr.. Shively was taking any great
risk in vouching for the Hammond man
but it simply goes to show that Mr..
Silver has more than a ''howdy do" ac-
quaintance with the senator.
Mr.. Silver is, however, not making
any capital among his friends of the
fact that he is numbered among the
chosen, nor is he looking for any pref
erment now because of that fact
Mr. Silver has at present a most
desirable civil service position in the
government service. and is enrolled in
the Jefferson College of Law
where he is preparing himself for the
profession Mr.. Silver is the chairman
of the Lincoln-J Jefferson College of Law
debating team, which will meet the
Illinois College of Law team on Feb. 12

COKE OVEN NEWS
CAUSE FOR REJOICING
Indiana Harbor Real, Estate
Men Satisfied With
Prospects.

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Jan. 22-Indi-
ana Harbor real estate men are jubiIant
today over the announcement that the
Fricke interests viii shortly commence
the building of their mammoth coke
ovens in Indiana Harbor. The stories
that have heretofore been given to the
public have been doubted, but even
the most skeptical real estate men are
implicit in their belief that there will
be something doing" before long.
The Fricke coke ovens, it is esti-
mated, owuld employ at least 1000
men, should their properties in East
Chicago and the Harbor be used en-
tirely for this purpose This would
mean the adding of at least g 900 in
habitants to the Harbor's population.
Men would also be given employment
in other branches Of work, as addition
al train crews would have to be put
on by the various railroads that form
a network through the Calumet region.
The coke output Of the Fricke concern
would be enormous, and one real estate
man declared that the location OF such
an industry here would result in the
running of spur lines from more than
one trunk line entering Chicago.
The effect on East Chicago and Indi-
ana Harbor real estate can be imag-
ined.' this dealer in soil declared.
Property values viii be given an i'm
petus that will send them soaring sky
high as soon as the work is COM
menced and the man who makes mon
ey in Indiana Harbor real estate is the
one who will buy now and hold for
/ speculative values" Residence lots. on
Fir and Grapevine streets are already
over the $3.50 mark and should the
coke ovens locate on the banks Of the
proposed waterway. as every indication
now predicts, that they will double and
treble in value seemed almost beyond
a doubt.

Surely No Woman in the Re

GRASS LAYING; HENS SPROUT

The freakish weather is a matter of
universal comment 1t is the daily pass
phrase of hundreds of people. For. days
the weather has been as warm as any
early spring day The boys are play
ing marbles on the streets and this
game does not generally come in until
spring.
So far no robnis have been report
ed. but it is surprising that some have
not been seen. The grass is getting
green and little green shoots may be
seen coming out from under the dead
grass. There the lawns have been fer
tilted the grass is almost as green
as in the summer time.
It seems the most natural thing in
the world to be thinking of getting
lettuce and radfsh seed and starting
a garden and one wonders why the
brightly Autographed covers of seed
boxes are not seen in the store win
dows.
The word comes from the country
districts that the winter wheat is
showing signs of life The hens are
the spring, and it is hard to believe
that there is still a week left in
January and only February is before
US. A cold snap may be expected al
most any time and it is possible that
there may still be regular New Eng
land snowstorm.
No SIeighing Thus Far.
The great surprise of the year is
the fact that there has not been a
precipitation of over two inches OF
snow during the whole winter Usually
at this time of the year there have
been several snowstorms in which the
precipitation of snow has been at least
six or eight inches.
! Sleighing at Christmas time or a
from Christmas is only a thing to be
dreamed Of. Ice has been good on ac-
count of the two short periods wher
