Just a Bit Up-To-Now

III. G. Perry, of North Tazewell,
is frequent visitor TO the News
office and is always interested in
our typesetting machine, the won
dels performed by it growing upon
him the more he sees of il. The News
is the only county paper in South
west Virginia that sets the entire pa
per, and, in fact, does all the compo-
sition for the office, and the men find
plenty OF time TO do other work in
the office. The News, with very
small force for the mechanical de
partment OF the paper, has done more
printing-book work, job printing,
ETC., than many offices with twice
the number of printers. Send us
your printing and well show you
why.

haps Mr.. Anderson, Attorney general,
would be candidate next time, for
congress, from the Tenth District, in

tackles Hal Flood will see stars i'm

other candidate who may be unwise

Mann in Wise.

The parading before the public of
Billy Mann's letters TO Billy Ma
hone has strengthened Mann in this
county more than one hundred votes,
an6 friend down in Lee writes us
that the publication of these letters
have left Tucker without any follow
ing in that county. The why of this
is made clear rs a monday sun when
we recall the stirring political events
enacted between 1878 and 1888. If
some one would go 10 the trouble TO
run through General MahOne's letter
files of that date they'd find evidence
of the fact that hundreds Of men,
who were then and who are now
Democrats, pledged their hearty sup
port to Malone in the fight he was
then making for the settlement of the
State debt question. We doubt not
if this search was made that il
would take all the photographers in
Richmond six months TO furnish the
Evening Journal with exact copies
of all the letters found. Judge Mann
was not alone in putting sentiments
on paper and sending them TO Ma
hone thirty years ago.-Wise News.

A BURNING QUESTION"

very important question is here
propounded TO every man and woman
who reads these lines. Not, are you
a Republican or Democrat. Not, are
you Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian,
Christian or Episcopalian. Not, are
you cross and surly at home. Not,
are you on good terms with your
nighbors. All these questions are i'm
portant, but none of our business.
Here's the burning question we pro-
ponnd, lis your subscription paid
TO this paper?" If not here's another
question: 'Are you going 10 still
neglect or refuse TO pay until the
editor "busts" and the sheriff sells
him out?" 1t wont do any gocd then
to go around and say "well, I am
certainly sorry" To be plain, the
receipts of this paper for subscription
alone has not been sufficient during
the month of July to pay for the
white paper it was printed on. The
good things you do us the kindness
to say about the paper rae alright, and
we thank you, but wife and child
rem will starve to death on that sort
of pabulum in little while. Now
you have it,straight. Pay up or quit

More Railroad Talk.

Crockett Showers, Cove Creek, was
here on Tuesday, and reports some
excl tement in his section over the
flattering prospects of railroad
being built up Cove Creek, with an
outlet somewhere hear Taezwell per-
haps. This is good news, if true. 1t
is mere rumor however. There has
been short line from Narrows up
Wolf Creks for several years, and
this road will be extended TO Rocky
Gap, and perhaps farther up, in order
TO reach tn fine timber lands OF that
section. One of the citizens OF this
town, who keeps in touch with such
matters, conjectures that the Virgin
ian which passes near NarroWs, may
have bought this short line up Wolf
Creek making it's way into the Ber-
winde coal fields. In this case Taze-
well would get another railroad The
Norfolk and Western is surveying a
route from Berwind in this direction,
with terminus probably at &c dar
Bluff. The Virginian is coming To
Pocahntas, SO rumOr has it, and may
extend its line further. And so it
goes There is, or will be, something
doing in railroad circles i'm this sec
tion in the near future

JUDGE Mann LIKED
BY HOME PEOPLE
Ministers, Lawyers and 9th
er Professional Men En-
dorse Nottoway Candidate

The real test of mans character is
what his home people think of him.
In view of attacks that have been
made upon Judge Mann in this cam
paign, il is interesting to note that
every minister of the Gospel, every
county official, every lawyer and ev-
cry newspaper i'm his home county of
NOttoway is cordially supporting
Inn for Governor. In the primary
four years ago, but two votes were
cast against him ut his own precinct.
The esteem in which he is held by
his home people is we'll expressed in
the resolutions passed during this
campaign by the Confederate Veter-
ans which concluded as follows:
Knowing Judge Mann as we do,
we take pleasure in declaring TO the
people of this Commonwealth, that
as soldier, judge, senator, a
neighbor, a friend and Christian
gentl leman, he has measured up TO
the full standard of all that we
would require of him; that his pri-
vate and public life have been clean
and pune; and that he enjoys the full
confidence, affection and esteem of
his neighbors, his countrymen, and
all who know him beSt.''

Must Ride Aside.

Atlanta, Ca, July 26.-Any wo-
man in Georgia who rides astride
will become felon, if the bill intro
duced in the House today by Repre-
sentative Wright, of Stuart county,
becomes law.
The statesman from Stuart never
saw "a woman ride astride until he
came to Atlanta. He was shocked
and Mortified by the sight of pretty
grill in divided skirt, whirling along
on the back of a mettlesome horse,
so he hied TO his chambers and pre-
pared this bill:
BE it enacted by the Legislature
Of Georgia, that. on and after the
passage of this act, il shall be un-
lawful for any female over the age oi
twelve years of age TO ride astridt
any horse, or mule, or ass, or othel
animal of both sexes, upon any street.
or road or public highway, or any
other public place within the state:
Provided. That this act shall b,
construed not TO prohibit the riding
astride of any female circus per
former within tent or other en-
closure.
The measure carries a fine of iron
$1O to 500. or imprisonment.
With smile, Speaker Holden re
marked:
Referred to the committee OF
temperance.

Mr.. KOINER SAYS
THEY ARE FALSE
Uses Plain Language in Ref
erenCe to Statements Made
BY His Opponent.

When Mr.. J. Thompson Brown,
candidate for commissioner of agri-
culturea gainst Mr.. Koiner, was in
Tazewell short time ago. he made
certain charges, publicly and privat-
ely, against Mr.. Koiner. In resspt
speech In Charlottesville, Mr.. Koiffer
answered these charges fully. lie
said, i'm pait: Mr.. Brown knows,
and the people of the state know,
that his charge that Ihave done moth
ing To stimulate agricultural progress
in the state is false. My ten years
work lis known TO the farmers. This
is only one nf many reckless and
false charges made by man In des-
perate straits.
He says that former employe
under me prepared the fertilizer bill
and managed its passage through
the Legislature. Every section of the
bill, says Mr.. Koiner, was prepared
under my direction, and ! personally
managed the fight for the measure be-
fore the Legislative committee. To
say that measure that affected the
support and life of the department
was prepared and worked through
the Legislature by an employe under
me, without the head of the depart
ment knowing anything about IL or
having any lot i'm it, is simply
absurd.
Mr.. Koiner said, that 1900 samples
OF fertilizers were sampled 10y the in
spectoTs last year, and bulletins sent
To every farmer whose name he could
get. Mr.. Browns statement that
was in collusion with the fertilizer
people in opposition To the tonnage
bill is n malicious falsehood. | have
letters from Speaker CarwdelI, Hons.
j. j. Owen and +. w. Jones, who
state that il was fact well known
at,the. time that / bad charge OF the
tonnage bill, which passed the I.egis-
iature. The charge that | have not
enforced the law, says Mr.. Koiner,
is also false. Nineteen seizures OF
fertilizers were made and turned over
TO the Commonwealth Attorney, as
follows: Three i'm Norfolk county, 9
in Nanscwood, / each in Caroinle
Spottsylvania, Rockingham, Acco
mac, Fluvanna, Northumberland,
Fauquier, and each in Clarke and
Frederick counties, all of which were
turned over TO the Com .nonw ealth =
Attorney for prosecution. This is but
sample of the injustice Brown is
spreading over the state TO deceive
the people. Mr.. Brown seems 10 bC
the candidate o. n coterie of eX-mem
bers OF the Board who failed of reap.
