Rev. DIR. +. f. Kahle, travelling
agent of MarthaWashington College,
was in TaewZell the first of the week
in the interest of his school, which
has received a liberal patronage
from Tazewell county for years. DIR.
Kahle was caller at the News
office, and said that Abingdon voted
wet" recently not through any
fault of the Methodists Of that town,
who lined up almost 10 man
against dispensary, and fought gal
lantly for its abolition. DR.. Kahle
also stated that Washington county
will send to the next legislature two
representatives who are dry men, and
will use their influence TO grant
Abingdon relief from the curse,
which has been unwil!ingly forced
upon the county.

SCHOOL BUILDING
Is TORN AWAY
Majority of People Want Pres
ent Site Graded to Level With
Stone Wall, at Least.

Contractor Heldreth has about COM
pleted tearing down the old High
School building, and but for the
bad weather of the past week the
work would have been finished.
Kincer and Vermilion, the stone
masons, are making ready to lay the
foundation of the new building as
soon as the present one is out of the
way. There seems good deal of dis
cussion among the Council and
School Board as TO whether the pre-
sent site shall be graded on level
with the street. The opinion seems
TO prevail among the people that the
embankment ought to be taken away
by all means. The cost might be {
consideration now, but for the futur,
convenience and beauty OF the sit,
the embankment away would ado
much TO the value of the property

How to Prevent Cold

Boston Transcripts: To prevent
colds one should take outdoor exer-
else with regularity. Keep the rooms
in which you work, live and sleep,
ventilated. Do not allow them TO get
over 40 degrees in warmth. Heavy
undertaking is not necessary; in
fact, light underclothing is prefer
able and much more healthy. Pro-
lection against cold should be pro-
vided by eXtIa outer garments. BE
sure that the feet are kept warm and
dry and the windows of sleeping
rooms open at night. To the young
lady who persists in wearing her
summer peeka-boo waist and low
shoes with fancy stockings, all we
have TO say is that but for her kind,
doctors and undertakes would find
il difficult TO make ends meet during
the winter. She is their best Gus
toner.

THE CROWD CAME.
But NO TRIAL
Preliminary Hearing of Alleged
p. o. BURGERS Postponed I'm
til January Twenty-Eighth.

A large crowd was disappointed
on Tuesday afternoon by the post
ponement of the hearing of the
alleged postofiice burglars who have
been in Jail here for a month or
more. Several witnesses were brought
here from Wise county, TO appear
against the men, and several wit
nesses from North Tazewell were also
present to testify.
1t was intended by the persons in
charge TO hold the hearing in the
Jail, but on account of the large
crowd which sought entrance to the
small room in the Jail, the proceed
ings had TO be transferred TO thecourt
room.
United States Commissioner, Il.
A. Gillespie, of Cedar Bluff, was in
charge of the hearing, and assistant
U. >. Attorney Hoge, of Roanoke
represented the government. OF the
five prisoners, only one had counsel,
Harry Miller, has employed ex-States
attorney L. G. Bowen to defend him.
Everything seemed to be in readi-
ness for the hearing when Attorney
Hoge, for the government, stated that
the government had nine specific
cases again each of the prisoners nj
the bar and that the governemnt was
not ready TO go into the trial. Harry
Nelson, alias Kentucky Joe, stated
Mr.. Hoge, was safely confined i'm
Welch Jail, where he was awaiting
officers from the Raleigh, n. G.. q,
penitentiary, where he would be re-
tanned TO finish an unexpired term.
Nelson escaped from the Raleigh
institution about years ago, where
he was sentenced from Pennsylvania.
Upon motion of Mr.. Hoge, the date
for. the hearing was set for January
2Sth. All the witnesses present were
recognized TO appear for the trial of
Jan. %.
Mrs. Lowe, "Tazewell Meg" was
present and exchanged glances and
smiles with those of the prisoners
who were captured in her home ut

Abingdon and Dispensary

n great many people In these parts
have been perplexed 10 account for
the recent victory of the dispensary
in Abingdon. They reason thusly I:
Here is Abingdon, an intelligent,
christian community, with TWO great
female schools-Marth Washington,
with the entire Methodist church of
the state Mt il back, StonewaIl Jnck-
son Institute, with the Presbyterian
at its back-both crowded with the
best girls Of The state, Emory and
Henry-hard-by, one of the oldest
and best schools for young men In
the state, owned and conducted by
the Methodist-a school in which
many of the eminent leaders of the
denomination in the country were
educated, and now crowded with
students; here are these three great
schools, located in one of the quielest
and most conservative communitis In
the state prohibition all around
them-from Chattanooga To Peters
burg, Except Farmville, save the
mark, where there is another girls
schooD, the only distributing point
OF whiskey for hundreds of miles
around. What on earth Is the matter
with Abingdon, they ask. Are not
these surIoundinginfluen sufficient
to carry against liquor? II Bristol,
Roanoke and other heather CD cities
and towns go dry, why should
Abingdon fall by the way side? A
little inquiry brings out certain
facts, one Of which is, that Abingdon
is making money out of the dispen-
sary-about $50, 600 per year, IL is
said. This helps TO build sidewalks
for the Martha Washington and
Stonewall Jackson Institute girls to
walk on, and TO pay-more than pay
extra police force to- guard them
and the town. This money question
talks In some quarters. When the
question came up at first as between
the saloon and the dispensary il was
said that the town was in debl$30, O0O
for street and other Improvements,
and the money from the dispensary
for booze sold TO Abingdon, shipped
To Bristol and other points in dry
territory, would pay this debt in one
term-the booze joint might go, but
after one term the shining, ringing
shekels looked good and the boy.
