Celebration OF Battle Anniversary VIII
Be Great Success.

AT recent meeting of the James
Breathed Camp, C. ", of Pulaski coun-
ty, 1T was determined to celebrate the
forty-ffth anniversary Of the battle of
Cloyd's Mountain, and an executive
committee consisting of C. L. Teanev.
G. A Calfee and ]. M. Weiser, was ap-
pointed to make arrangements there
for. To this number was added the
name of A. j. Bane, of Giles county.
Captain Teaney was made chairman
and J. M. Weiser secretary of the COM
mittee.
The committee announces that as the
anniversary falls on Sunday the exer-
cises will be held on Saturday, MAY the
Sth.
All participants in the battle, whether
Confederates or Federals, are invited ia
be present.
Able speakers. including Ex-Governor
J. Hoge Tyler, Hon. ]. C. Wysor; "Cy-
clone" James w. Marshall, ex-Judge s.
w. Williams and Commander E. Lee
Trinkle, of S. C. w., will be invited.
Veterans from a distance who will
come to Dublin on the railroad are re-
quested to send their names at once TO
the secretary, Mr.. ]. M. Weiser, that
transportation may be provided to the
battlefield from the trains.
The committee desires the co-opera-
ton Of everybody in making the occa-
sion a success. The present owners of
the farms on which the battle was
fought, have generously granted the
use of as much land as will be needed
for the, celebration.
1t is strange, but true, that every
Confederate officer engaged in this bat
tle-above the rank of Captain-was
killed or wounded except Colonel Nc
Causland General Jenkins, the rank
ing officer, was wounded and died the
day following. Another singular Incl
dent connected with this battle is that
three future Presidents of the United
States were participants, namely, Gar.
field, Hayes and Mckinley.

FRIENDSHIP IS
DEEPLY ROOTED
Admiral Evans, of the U. S. Navy, and
Admiral IjiChi, Of Japan, Scout
Talk OF War.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 27.-Admiral
IJlchl, commander of the Japanese train
ing squadron now at San Pedro. had a
long talk today with Rear Admiral Rob
ley D. Evans.
The two admirals, who are old friends.
and who are now staying at the same
hotel, discussed international questions,
including the possibility of war between
the United States and japan. Thev
agreed that war between the two na-
tions was impossible.
Il see they have been irving to get
us In trouble, " said Admiral Evans.
Yes" replied Admiral Ijichi. "But
such thing is impossible. The United
States and Japan understand each other
too well for anything of that kind. The
people of your country and mine have
too deep seated a friendship for each
other to ever allow any trivial matter
to bring about trouble"
Il agree with you," said Admiral
Evans. Such thought is ridiculous. -
Admiral Ijichi told Admiral Evans
that he was delighted with his reception
IN Los Angeles. He commented upon
the apparent friendIiress of the officials
as well as the press and public and pre-
dlcted that he and his men would be
equally we'll received at other American
ports.
i should like to know" incurred Ad-
mlral Evans, "how your people sue
ceeded in raising the Russian battle
ships which you sank, and in what con-
dltion you found them"
Admiral Iiichi replied, 1--WE raised
the sunken battleships and cruisers at
Port Arthur and Chemulpo without any
great difficulty. We found that those
at Port Arthur were not sunk by the
mortar fire directed upon them from
2O3-metre hill. None of the shells pen-
etrated the protected decks, although
the superstructure and gun mountinqs
were badly shattered. The ships were
sunk by the Russians opening the sea-
cocks when they found the port must
fall into our hands. After raising the
ships we found that the projectiles had
penetrated the wooden decks, but had
hattened out against the steel, and were
lying there. 1t evidently would not
have been possible to sink the ships by
the fire from the heights -

The farewell Fair Poultry Show

The management of the Tazewel
Fair Association are fortunate in Sc
curing the services of Theo. Whitman,
of Allentown, Pa, to judge poultry.
Mr.. Whitman made his first mark in
the poultry world in brown leghorns,
and his record Of selling one dozen eggs
Tor Sl44.OO, has never been equaled.
For the last few years he has devoted
his entire time to judging and lecturing
on poultry topics. Last year he judged
eighteen shows and delivered over 100
addresses. He has been with the Penn
sylvania Movable School of Agriculture
as poultry expert ever since it was or
ganized and is this Summer superin-
tending the erection of large utility
poultry plant.
Mr.. Whitman is perhaps best known
in his capacity of manager-superinten
dent of the Great Allentown Fair Poul-
try Show, which he has developed into
one of the largest and best poultry ex-
hibitions in this country.
Now, let all the poultry enthusiasts
get to work to furnish MIR. Whitman a
genuine surprise in the quality and con-
dltloning of our Tazewell Fair Poultry
Show. This show is going to be the
attraction at the fair.

Poultry Show, write DIR. r. P. Copen-

was magnificent piece of oratory and
he ably handled the subject, tracing the
origin Of the Lodge back to the davs of
Christ and his Apostles.
The exercises were opened with
prayer by the Chaplain of the Lodge.
Mr.. H. F. Elswick, and the Noble
Grand, Mr.. A. J. Plaster, led the exer-

The Raven Lodge is one of the larg-
est in the Clinch Valley, there being

Weary Willie at 6rundy.

Grundy, Va, April 24.-Since Weary
Willie IS not permanently located it is
impossible to write from the same place
each week. Last week from. Shack
Mills, Va, this week we find ourself on
the streets of Grundy.
Court has been in session for five
days without any sign of adjournment.
and every one who reads the Tazewell
Republican and who could not come to
Grundy will doubtless like to hear how
everything goes at Grundy on court
days.
We will not go so far as to describe
the town, but word about its location
will not be out of place. 1t is situated
on the Louisa River, % miles from the
Iazewell border; l6 miles from Blackey.
Va; in Is miles of the Kentucky line.
1t is guarded by the peaks of three
giant hilltops which are more than
mile from the river. The hillsides are
covered with river cliffs and hemlock
trees, and the blue grass and fat cattle
that make Tazewell famous are nothing
more than small brush and scrub YEAR
lings in Buchanan.
Despite the downpour Of rain Tues
day morning the people began to arrive
early and continued until past noon.
when many hundred people had assem-
bled. Some wished to buy a mule and
some wished to sell mule. Witnesses
of all kinds and people who wished to
pay their taxes in order to vote for
Tucker or Gillespie for Governor helped
to swell the crowd.
More than three hundred Witnesses
were summoned before the grand iurv.
and "a indictments were made. and of |
this number more than half were for
retailing whisky without license. More
than half hundred civil cases were
disposed of. Major Ball was given one
year in the Virginia penitentiary for
hitting John Ball with a weight. A
dozen or more people, men and women,
were given long terms in Jail, together
with heavy fines for selling LIQUOR, and
Katy Roberts was given three years in
the penitentiary for bigamy. This is
the hrst woman ever sent to the peni-
tentiary from Buchanan county.
Judge VIM. E. Burns is on the bench
and the home lawyers together with
those mentioned below constituted the
bar at this term: Messrs. Greever.
Royal, Sprstt and Coulling represented
the Tazewell bar. r. E. Chase, A. A.

Judge Martin Williams, of Giles. and
ex-senator Jeffries, of Norfolk, were
also present.

Breeding Hard Conscience.

The grand jury which has been inves-
tigating tax payers in Norfolk county,
says the Virginia Magazine, for alleged
failure to list their personal holdings for
proper assessment made an increase of
$500, 900 of assessable property in one
day. One wealthy farmer, it is report
ed, who confronted the grand jury with
an assessment of only 5000 against him,
was asked if he did not have $40, 900 in
a bank on interest. He said he did not.
When the jury insisted it had informa-
tion to this effect the farmer said again I:
TITS not true. I've only got So, 900 in
the bank" Is it a hardening of the
conscience, as some would have US be-
lieve, or result of ridiculous ineouali-
ties in the method of assessing proper
ty? Some hard consciences there are
bound to be. But there is no excuse
for the existence of such miserable
patchwork of tax laws, such as we now
have, which breed more.-Abingdon

TURKEY HAS 4 NEW RULER.
Abdul Hamld, Whose Reign Was One Of
Terror and Crime, Dep0Sed.

Constantinople, April 27.-The reign
of Abdul Hamid II. ended today with
his deposition and the accession of his
brother, Mehemmed- Reschad Effendi,
as Mehmed ", a variation of "Mahom-
ct. ;" it being considered inappropriate
to assume the precise name of the
prophet.
Mehmed v. is the thirty-fifth sover-
eign of Turkey, in male descent, of the
House of Osman, the founder of the
empire, and the twenty-ninth Sultan
since the conquest of Constantinople.
The two houses of Parliament, meet
ing as a national assembly, approved
the decree of deposition which was read
by the Sheikul-Islsm, chief of the Ule-
mas, and supreme judge on ecclesiastic-
al questions. The document recited
that Abdul Hamid's acts were contrary
to the sacred law, and set forth q long
list of crimes, the whole making a ter
rihle indictment. The assembly then
chose Mehemmed-R as Sultan
and appointed committees to notify the
dethroned sovereign and his successor
of its action.
The firing of 101 guns announced to
the waiting people that a new Sultan
had been proclaimed.
The newly chosen ruler came from
his palace in Galata through streets
lined with troops and cheering thou
sands, and took the oath at the War
Office. He then proceeded to the Par
lament and later went to the Dolma-
bagtsche Palace as head of the empire,
where for so many years he had practi-
cally been prisoner.
Martial law was relaxed tonight and
the people gave themselves over to eel
ebrating the victory of the Young
Turks party and the end of Abdul Ha-
mid's reign. Many buildings were illu-
minated, and thousands of rounds were
fired by the soldiers for joy. General
rejoicing prevails everywhere.
When informed that no designs were
entertained against his life, Abdul Ha-
mid gave deep sigh of relief, then
said: 81 had expected this; it is fate.
Ny only wish is that the lives of myself
and family may be safeguarded, and
that may reside at the palace of Che
ragan, as wish to die where was
born"
