ASST.-POSTMASTFR

Young Burke's Garden Boy,
Who Embezzied $500, Must
Spend Year in Prison.

George Rhudy, % years old, of
Burke's Garden, for three years assis-
tant postmaster ut Pocahontas, was
arraigned in the United States Court
this week at Big Stone Gap upon a
charge of taking about 800 from
the money order department OF the
postoffice.
Upon his own confession he was
given a year and day in prison,
and fined 5000.
1t is said that Rhudy took only
small amounts at time-thirty dol
lars being the largest amount taken
at any one time-by making out
short money orders for Hungarians
andt Italians, who could not read
English
The unfortunate occurrence comes
as great surprise and shock to the
family and friends OF Rhudy His
family are among the best and most
highly respected people In this
county, and he himself has always
been regarded as pre-eminentIy trust
worthy and moral

Roller Rolling Again.

The steam roller, after being patch
cd up again has resumed work OH
lower Tazewell Avenue. When that
steam roller was bought the claim
made for it was, that il was in 'iirst
class condition. The price paid for
ii was $500 and it was said TO be
"a bargain at the price" But, to
a man up a tree il don't look that
way. 1t can break down oftener and
stand still longer and does less work
than any fl rst class machine that ev-
er crept down the pike. This is what
soem people say who ought to know.
II might pay the council to sell the
machine TO the junk man and buy
a good one, and get Capt. Walton to
take few days off and come up and
make the street. This is not meant
as any reflection whatever on the
men who are operating the old ma.
chine, and trying to build roads.
They are doing the best they can.
What they have done is said TO have
been well done, but it is difficult TO
any set of men to do good work and
do it rapidly, who are not wei
equipped. Somebody will say tha
IN b o d y is "butting :, in
where it has no business. Not so a
all. Who's paying the bills? Thanl
Goodness, the day seems near at han'
when Taze Well will stop wasting
money OH making sorry roads.

LOOK OUT FOR DR.. WITTEN

DR.. J. Walter Witten, of North
Tazewell, wants it distinctly under
stood that if the chicken fanciers of
Tazewell and Burke's Garden, carry
off all the blue ribbons, which would
seem conclusive from recent remarks,
they will have to get move on, for
he has some nice show birds for ex-
hibition. DR.. Witten is said to hold
the record for the quickest laying

The Corn Exhibit For the Fair.

The Corn Exhibit For the Fair.
The time at which the Fair is held
the middle of September, will
make it almost impossible to exhibit
corn in any other way than in the
stalk. Corn will not be, as rule,
ripe enough to shuck by that time.
So, it can be brought on the stalk as
well, OF in the shuck, if not dry, as
the exhibit calls for dozen instead OF
mesure, of eais. 1t will look we'll in
the stalk. Tie a dozen of the best
stalks together and bring them along
If you haven't a list of the prem
iums write to this office for one, or tc

The Care of the Closet.

The closet requires careful attention and frequent and thorough scrubbing. Rinse the seat and flush generally. Put into the bowl a handful of Gold Dust washing powder and let soal: for some time. Then take a regular water closet broom or swab, a child's small broom, and scrub all parts that can be reached especially into the trapas far as possible Flush again, add more of the washing powder and wash under the flushing rim and all parts inside and out. Stains oi iron from the water, if not removed by the securing. may be wiped with few drops of hydrochloric acid. Wipe all woodwork with a damp cloth, not for getting the handle of the chain.

PHoENIX. AR1z. APRIL '. 1909.
THE CHANGE.

If plebiscite had been taken on the subject of a governor, unGoIbt- edly more people in Arizona would have given expression in favor of Judge Sloan than in favor of anybody else. From the moment his name was first mentioned in connection with the governorship, the only dissenting voices have been those of his friends who looked upon the appointment of him as a sacrifice of him-the talk ing of him from field which he had occupied for years to his great credit and to the advantage of his judicial district and the whole territory.
 Though the governorship is worthy of any Arizonian, it was felt by many of the friends of Judge Sloan that it could be worthily filled with out depriving the bench of one of it's brightest lights-without breaking in upon such an enviable career.
 If Judge Sloan had raised his voice on the subject il would probably have augmented the protest of the dissent CTS. but when the sacrifice seemed to be essential to party harmony he made it cheerfully. It is now waste of words to speak of the fit ness of Judge Sloan for the office to which he has been appointed, for C ind are known of all men among whom he has lived and served for a quarter of a century.
 The retirement of Governor kibbey comes about in a manner which does not reflect upon him in the slightest degree. It is not a result of any charges which may have been filed against him as to his private or offl- cial life. It is not sign that he has lost the confidence of the national government It is attended by no circumstances which can in any way mar the record of his able service of four years, a service which has ire uuently received the commendation of all the divisions of his own party as well as that of the democratic party.
 There had, however, arisen unfor- tunate differences within the party III this territory, based on no official act of the governor which made read iustment advisable. if not necessary That is why the change has taken place. It has not been in response to any demand at home or in Wash ington for a better territorial admin istration. ~s
 The appointment of George U Young to be territorial secretary i' 9 recognition of not only the ability of MT. Young to fill that position bu of the eminent party service he ren- dered in the territorial campaign las fall as the secretary of the republican territorial committee. NIT. Young per formed harder work, and in spite o seemingly adverse conditions, ha' more to show for it than any prede cessor in that office. It was fitting that his work and his success should be rewarded.
Arizona republican., 1909-04-07

as the Los Angeles Times in its issue of last Monday, made the error of stating that Judge Sloan and President Taft were classmates at Yale. where a lifelong friendship was formed. Judge Sloan never resided at Yale. His nearest scholastic rela- ton with Mr Taft vas when he was a student of the Cincinnati Law School of which NJ. Taft some :'ear' alter was a member of the faculty At that time however MT. Taft then recently out of Yale. was gathering court news for 2 Cincinnati news paper.

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET


 The city republicans have a ticket with which they can enter upon the municipal campaign with confidence. TIovd R. Christy, candidate for may or. is essentially a business man candidate. the kind needed in city in it's crescent-we were on the point of saying its plastic, stage. The mayors of Phoenix few years ago would not do now. MT. Christy is Phoenix boy. Many men who have lived here as long as he are moss hacks but Mir Christy has grown abreast of the business growth of the town and has done as much as any other one man to stimulate that growth.
 The only other new man on the ticket is Charles A. Stauffer, who though a young man, long ago made good. He has already gained the confidence of every business man ID town and there is no other who en- joys a greater measure of popularity
 of the other candidates it is not necessary at this time to speak Councilman Marshall, Recorder Thom- as. Marshal Moore and Assessor Bar nett Their official records are long and without blemish. There is nc doubt that they will all be given hearty endorsement. There is nc sign anywhere that the democratic opposition to them will be more thar formal.

The S0uth's Solidity.

The Solid South stood for principles far
more important, much deeper than the
considerations here named. The earnest
man, not an opportunist, will want to see
ultimate ends of more vital Importance
than these before he will break with these
old traditions. To all such commend the
historic testimony of the South as a cause
fully worthy of their devotion. What
better can the sincere Southerner do than
continue to help maintain the testimony of
the fathers since they landed on this CONT
nent, the testimony of the AngloSaxon
race since the beginning of its history
this testimony for the freedom Of the indi-
vidual to govern himself, his family, his
town and his State? Forgetting the wild
economic theories of recent years, forget
ting secession and slavery, too, let our
young men never forget that the original
"Solid South stood for the rights of the
State, for the rights of self-government
everywhere as opposed to Capitalization
and imperialism. Just as our fathers in
the Revolution were fighting the battles of
Englishmen everywhere, as all Englishmen
cordially acknowledge now, SO our fathers
in the war between the States were fight
ing the battle of State governments every
where.-Chorles William Dabney.
1t is a pernicious doctrine, but one to
which the American people seem to be
rapidly tending, that what they want is
great central paternal government, to
which we are to look for everything, and
we care not what powers it usurps and what
constitutional and private rights it ignores,
just SO long as it hands out free gifts and
favors. Just how long the South could
hold out against temptation is matter for
conjecture, but since there are no subsidies
and soft places for the South, but all are
monopolized by the North, there is really
no temptation in the case and our people
will lose nothing by maintaining the solidity
of their position.-Nen Orleans Picoyune.

reouired in the man who will do his work
heroically are always the same, and among
the requisites are "the subordination OF
the material to the spiritual, of the lower to
the higher nature of man, which renders
his will master of his appetites and pas
sions, and causes him to forego every
nersonal benefit for the sake of honor and
conscience" The poet Goethe, addressing
himself to the man who is animated by a
desire to work according to thisrule, says:
"Lke star
That shines afar,
Without haste
And without rest,
Let each man wheel with steady sway,
Round the task that rules the day,
And do his best"

WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

Memphis Commercial Appeal: Alaska
now wants a legislature. Three months
after she gets it, she'll want to murder it..
Orange (Texas) Leader: Mr.. Bryan
made mighty bad break in his Ell Paso
speech when he forsook digniied argument
and INDUCED in bitter personalities.
Well said by the Baltimore Sun: The
South desires to cooperate with President
Taft in all that is good for the welfare of
the nation. But on the issue of white
supremacy in local government it cannot
recede an inch from it's position without
bringing disaster upon itself and in the
same degree bringing disaster upon the
nation.
Philadelphia North American: tits my
honest conviction, founded upon some
years of intimate personal dealings with
myself and strengthened by serious OBJ
servation, that we ourselves are the domi-
mating influence in what we call good
fortune and what we call bad fortune.
believe we can be what we want to be il
we want hard enough and work hard
enough! The reason so many of us fail to
materialize our desires and ambitions is
this-we take it all out in wanting! We
try to make bread with nothing but water
and yeast, and then we wonder why ou1
efforts end in froth.
