A Timely Warming.

There is nothing that affords more
lasting pleasure and satisfaction, nor
anything that is priced more highly
than a good photograph OF each mem
Der OF the family or n dear friend.
Before any break comes i'm the
family ciroIe--while all are together
and i'm good health. we do not real
ize the need or importance of having
pictures taken. Let break come
in the circle however, and IL we have
no good picture of the loved one we
can but reproach ourselves and rerget
having put or too long what could
81 easily have been attended TO.
Seldom a day passes but that some
one comes into the photograph gal
lery in this town bringing an old,
blurred tintype or faded kodak pic
ture, and with tears i'm their eyes and
trembling voice tell the old story
OF loved one gone and no picture
but that. oh, they are willing 10
give any thing then for a picture that
they can keep.
HOW easy III would have been TO
have sent or taken the loved one TO
the photograph gallery and gotten a
good permanent picture.
a photograph is not luxury that
should be done without as long as
possible; but rather il is something
that every one should have.
There is no excuse for any one in
TazewelI not having photographs of
all thea fmiIy. You have one of the
best studios in the state. A photo
graph from Blacks Studio will be
good photograph. 1t will be abso
lutely permanent. 1t will please
you and your friends. DO not care
lessly put off what you can SO easily
attend 20. DO 1T NOW.
Go to Blacks Studio in Tazewell.

Children Cry
FOR FlETcHER'S
Q a 9 TO RIA

back through the years and find a
campaign in which so many mis-
takes have been made by the Repub-
lican party i'm Virginia. To begin
with, they started ont by calling the
Democrats names which is not a
very god way TO wean the sons
from the fathers party. Then they
brought charges they couldn't sub
stantiate; and lastly they are fight
ing among themselves, in a quiet
way il is true, but our old friend,
c. ID. SIemp, is i'm a very precarious
position. and likely to he shorn of
his power almost any old time. 1t
is only question of majority for the
Democrats, and the only way for
the Republicans TO win is for a Sufii :
cient number of Democrats to stay at
home, so the thing to do is TO come
out and vote and not leave il to our
neighbor who may at the same time
be leaving il 10 you.-Bedford Bull

rHave republican voters OF the

How many republican voters were
given an opportunity to declare that
they desired Capt. Kent to be their
candidate for governor Indeed l. is
pertinent To ask whether the repub-
lican convention in Newport News
represented the rank and file OF the
republican party OF the state Who
were the leaders in that Newport
News convention? who dictated
the nominees. Let us call the roll
OF some Of these gentlemen: There
was {. Ii. Slemp, holding a federal
office; there was l.. p. Summers.
collector OF internal revenue, a fed
real ofliceholder; Il. II. McCaulI,
assistant postmaster at Lynchbug,
a federal oflicehoIder; Capt. w p.
Kent, consul TO mosquito bitten
Guatemala, federal oflicehoIder !;
Floyd Hughes collector of the port
at Norfolk, a federal ofiiceholder. /;
Judge Lewis, United States district
attorney, a federal oiiiceholder; Nor
gan Treat, United States marshal, a
federal ofiiceolder; G.. Lee Moore,
United States district attorney,
federal officeholder; Col :. Brown
a lien, United States MARSHAL, fed
eral oiliceholder; Postmaster Full
wiIer, of Staunton, a federal office
holder, and many Others that we
might mention. "
Should the republicans succeed
for the next time or two in electing
the governor OF Virginia, a state
oilicehOlders machine would be duly
built up, and clash between it and
the federal ofliceholders machine over
the control of the party in the state
probably would soon occur But
for the present the federal oflicehold-
ers machine is in absolute control,
and Mr.. Kent is its candidate for
governOr.-Bristol Herald

Is Your Family Reading Worth
While"

So much OF current reading is
merely entertaining ut pest that the
question naturally arises, Is ii worth
while? Your sons and daughters are
bound 10 read something. They
hunger for stories which take them
into the other half OF the world
the world OF adventure, OF valor, of
fortune making. The problem is to
give them such reading without put.
ting into their hands the literature
that is either silly or demoralizing.
The editors of The Youths Compan-
ion believe that periodical can be
made entertaining and yet worth
while" and The Companion is con-
Quoted on that theory. And that is
one reason why more than half a
million American families read il.
The paper is safe, but not Gull. Its
tales of adventure illustrate, the
advantage OF fortitude and selfreli-
ance. Its stories of character Law
stress OIL the truth that right conduct
is never a mistake.

children and schools all over the
State. All these things Mr. Eggles-
ton has stood for, and not only
stood for but is getting them every

any intelligent thinking Republi-

deny Mr.. EgglestOn's efficiency, but
will not give countenance and sup

would be utterly unable TO fill the

ised for next spring. The suit of
clothes that you used to buy for SIC

represents your tribute TO the wool
trust and the mill owners, though
there was large tribute in the old
price OF SIC. The wholesale manu-
facturers have TO pay more for cloth,
Innings, and trimmings, and so they
declare they are compelled to raise
prices-and, what is worse, to cheap

The consumer has this tempting
choie: He can pay S25 for the kind
Of suit that he bought last fall for
$40, or he can pay the old price of
so, and get for it the kind OF suit
thai he could have got for $40 last
spring.
a pattern of goods that used II be
sold TO the manufacturers at Sl.75
per yard now costs him $40. 1t
takes three and half yards to make
suit so the added cost on this item
alone is Sl.22. Adding in the addi-
tional cost Of trimmings and Innings
it is estimated that the increase in
the making suit out of that cloth
is S4.22.
a dealer quoted by the Cincinnati
Enquirer says: THE retail store
keeper who has a run on suits that
he pays SIS for and sells at about
sd if he wants to hold his SD
price will have TO taKe an inferior

of the dispute and discussion GO

and Cook. DR.. Cook does not dis
pute that Mr.. Peary got there, but
claims only that Northumberland

ousy. He is mad because Cook got
there, il at all. fist. Two things

Federal OfficehoIders in Control.

where the Republicans have no state

machine is the whole thing in Viz

Mr. BRENT.

OF course every body understands
Whsi The Republican platform
means ~ declaring: I'VE favor
eliminating politics from the man
agement OF the public schools" The
Republicans eliminate politics from
nothing they take hold of. The par
~ organization in the State is now
and has been all the time an office
trust, and nothing more. Everybody
knows this, and 10 hear Mr.. Brent,
n renegade Democrat scream, "Out
with politics in the public schools, -
is amusing, and produces a smile, in
Republican as we'll as Democratic,
ranks. The first thing they did.
years ago, on coming into control OF
the State, was TO turn out DIR. Ruff
ner the very founder OF the public
school system in the State and put
in an iliiterate, incompetent man,
named Pharr, who il was said,
could not write a correct letter
without assistance. About this
same time, we believe, a manned,
Confederate soldier was discharged
as doorkeeper, and a negro put in
his place. AT the same time, these
nonpartisan Republicans in the
State appointed negro school trus-
tees, turned out all the County Super
intendents and put in Republicans
in their stead, to look after the chill
dIen of the State.
Mr.. Brent has palate for public
office. He was an office holding
Democrat, and professed to be an
ardent, true Democrat until turned
out of office by State Superintendent
Eggleston, when he at once went
office hunting among the Republi-
cans of the State, joining the Office
trust, and is now making speeches,
not educational addres ses, - of
great bitterness, against Judge Mann,
Senator Martin, GCv.rnor Swans on |
and Mr.. Eggleston and others, the !
very men who gave him Office eight

Paying the Republican Tariff
Tax on Clothing.

| One of the matters which the peo-
pie had in their mind when they
asked the government TO arrange the
tariff law so that it would bear a
little less oppreSsively upon them
was clothing. Clothing costs far
more in the United States than it
does in any other part of the wo. Id.
though this country produces most
of the worlds cntton and a great part
of the worlds wool. In spite OF
the fact that this nation sells abroad
vast quantities of both of these prin-
cipal materials for clothes making
and that with its improved machin-
cry and intelligent labor it ought TO
beat the world, the price of clothes
is higher here than it is anywhere
else in the world and the reason is
that he tariff schedules are so high
as to tax all the people through
every article of clothing they buy,
almost entirely for the benefit OF
few mill owners who have done moth
ing to earn this fat special privilege.
Congress did not lower the wool
schedules. IT is asserted, in its de-
Tense, that il did not raise them,
either, though until the full extent
of the sleihgt of hand work acom-
plished by Aldrich is laid bare, no.
body can be sure of that. Congress
did not lower the cotton schedules,
but 1t did raise them and il raised
most heavily those covering articles
which, most. people buy because
