TAzEWELL PEOPLE
FAVOR STATEWIDE
Many Express Themselves
in Favor of Abolition of
Saloons in Virginia.

Quite number of leading and
influential citizens of the county,
have called at this Office recently
and on being asked how they stand
on the question of State wide Prohi-
bition they unhesitatingly answered,
without an exception, in favor of it.
These citizens represented both polit
ical parties. They gave various rea-
sons. Some of them were about this
way: The liquor traffic is great
evil. The open saloon is tempta-
tion to the temperate man and g
downward course. It isn't fair tC
grant license to one community and
refuse it 10 another. Put them al
on tie same footing. Local option
is only prohibition on narrow
scale. Prohibition is local option
on a broader scalee. The local op
ZIONIST is bound to be prohibition
ist. The liquor dealers are in con
troll of politics. Local option elec
tions are too often set aside on tech
nicalities and tricks. The traffic il
inheren tly wrong and carries will
it other great evils and should not b.
permitted. There are some of tn
reasons these conservative men CAV
for favoring prohibition. Each MAJ
had his own idea about it. AL
agreed that the question should b
kept entirely out of politics. Their
seems to be little doubt but that tn
State wide sentiment is growing i
this community, which is nc
strange a: all, as the county hs
been dry through local option fc
years, with the exception of Poci
hontas.

CENTENNIAL OF CITY
WILL BE CELEBRATED
FOUNDING OF SAN BERNARDlN0
TO BE OBSERVED
Coming of White Men to Valley One
Hundred Years Ago Is to Be
Recalled in Elaborate
Festival

SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 25.-To cele-
brate the one hundredth anniversary of the
founding OF san Bernardino httingly a
movement has been launched which will
probably result in the most elaborate festi-
val ever held in tho city.
For q number Of years 1t has been the
custom to hold a biennial street fair. and
with an occasion such as tho centennial to
celebrate. there has been but little doubt
expressed as to the success OF the under
taking TO eclipse all former affairs.
May To- 1910, the first white man set foot
in the san Bernardino valley. Headed by
Padre Demetez a small band Of soldiers
and neophytes OF that date entered the
broad valley on the foot Of the towering
range and raising a cross on the present
site of Urbita Springs, naming the magnil-
cent expanse of land, populated by Indians,
s'Valle de san Bernardino," in honor Of St
Bernard of Sienna, whose feast day It was
Camping on the spot the little party which
had been set out from the San Gabriel mis-
sion, erected buildings and laid the founda-
tions for the present city OF san Bernardno
May 20 a century will have passed since
the band of missionaries came first into
the valley To Padre Demetez and his fel-
low monks and soldiers the naming Of the
valley. the subsequent city IN its midst

coming 1t is desired to celebrate appro-
prlately.

AUSTRIA IMPRESSED BY
FLIGHT OF AIRSHIPS
Recent EvoIutlons in Bay of Naples
by DirigibIes Costing 100000
Cast Doubt on Costly
BattIeships

VIENNA, Nov. 25.-A profound i'm
preston has been made in Austrian
military and naval circles by the jour
ney of the Italian military dirigible
from it's headquarters at Bracciano
near Rome, to Naples, in order to sa-
lutte the French warships anchored in
the bay of Naples on a visit to the
Italian fleet. Not only the length of
the journey to Naples and back in one
day without landing, but also the ac
curacy of the evolutions of the air
ship and the position taken up direct
ly overhead the warships in the har
Dor strike the imagination of Austrian
naval officers.
The Italian airshp is faster than
any battleship. No battleship has at
present the means of defense against
explosives dropped from above. In
the event of Austro-Italian hostilities
the Austrian fleet might he at the
mercy of Italian dirigible balloons.
since Austria Hungary has no military
airship yet.
Il is doubted in some quarters
whether the construction of Dread
naughts costing $10,000,0O0 each may
be at the mercy of an airship costing
less than $20O.0 000 is not a mistaken
policy. The performance of the Italian
airship and the first demonstration OF
the helplessness of a fleet against
aerial attack is here thought to be
likely to stimulate the production of
airships rather than Dreadnaughts.
Many persons share the view once
expressed by Count Aehrenthal that
the powers eventually will be com
PEELED TO disarm by the development of
aerial navigation.

detectives We're of their number The
latter quickly seized the situation, and,
drawing revolvers, fired in their turn
upon the bandits, The assailants,
