ANGERED AT
JAPAN'S THREAT
Indignation Caused by the Island King
dOm'S Position Against Increase Of
U. S. BattleShip Fleet In
Pacific Waters.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Indignation is
expressed in all official circles in Wash
ington at the reported intimation from
Japan that the Tokyo government would
regard an increase of American naval
strength in the Pacific as an aggressive
act against that country. While there
is no suthoritive confirmation of the re-
port it appears to be given wide Gre
dence.
1T is in thorough keeping with ia
pans intolerable effrontery ever since
her war with Russia" declared Sen
ator from far Western State.
If it be true that Japan has made such
representations to the Washington gov
ernment, the assembling of a consider
able battleship fleet in Pacific waters
may be regarded as almost foregone
conclusion. In the present frame of
mind of those in authority the disposi-
tion would be to send the fleet not only
to the Pacific, but to Philippine waters,
were there a base there adequate for
such force.
eff ever the policy of a nation re-
minded one of a man looking for
trouble, " said the Senator quoted above,
THAT nation is Japan. 1t would be a
great calamity if we should have to go
to war, but unless some friendly power
gives Japan some good advice don't
see how war can long be averted. If
Great Britain wants to be of real ser
vice to her ally she ought to send some
one to Tokyo to have a heart to heart
talk with the Mikado's ministers Of

FIRE at APPALACHIA
Large Portion Of Business Section Is
Wiped 0ut-LOSS $4,000.

Appalachia, Va, Feb. 27.-Appa-
lachia was visited by a disastrous FIRE
this morning, a goodly portion of the
business section having been DESTROYED.
The fire is thought to have started in
the store of Hogg & Co., in the early
hours of the morning, and spread rap
idly.
Several merchants lost their entire
stock and, famed by heavy wind, the
flames resisted all efforts to check them
until several buildings had been Quilted.
The aggregate loss may reach $780,
600, though it is difficult to estimate it
accurately now. Several of the mer-
chants had their stocks partially COW
cred with insurance. Among the losers
are; Rice & Co., L. Hogg & Co., C. E.
Robinett, M. A. Cress, Peter Nizard.

TO THE OHIO RIVER.
Extension Of c c. & 0. to Open Up
Great Untouched Coal Deposits.

Bristol, Va, March 1t is announc-
ed upon what seems to be good author
lty that it has been decided to extend
the Carolina, Clinchfeld and Ohio Rail-
way, which has just been completed
from Dante, Va, to Bostic, N. c.,
from Dante to the Ohio River.
Surmise of this kind has been float
ing about for some time, but it is now
stated that plans are decided upon.
The work is to be begun at an early
date, and pushed to completion.
A tunnel must be dug through the
Big Sandy Ridge, and it is estimated
that this work will require two years.
1t is believed that a temporary track
will be laid around the ridge for use
until the tunnel is completed.
This extension, which is to run
through Eastern Kentucky, will con-
meet the enormous untouched deposits
OF bltuminous coal in Russell and Dick
enson counties, Va, with the Ohio
River, where connections will be found
for the Great Lakes. 1t is regarded as
likely that the ultimate plan is to have
a great trunk line from the Lakes to
the Atlantic Ocean.

A HISTORIC SPOT.
Lorenzo Dow, the Great Evangelist,
Preached There More Than One
Hundred Years AgO.

Very few persons are aware of the
fact that the sinkhole or small hollow at
the southeast corner of the High School
lot was once used by Lorenzo Dow as
place from which to expound the Gospel
to the people of Tazewell. The con-
tractors are now engaged in laying the
concrete and stone foundation for the
new High School building. They have
begun their work in the sinkhole or cir
cular hollow which is at the southeast
corner of the lot. Part of the hollow is
embraced in the adjoining lots of w. C.
Harrison and A. P. Gillespie. This
hollow originally was shaped very much
like an amphitheatre.
Tradition informs US that Lorenzo
Dow, more than a hundred years ago,
made an appointment to preach at this
point. He generally made his appoint
ments year in advance, and he always
filled them at the exact day and hour.
His eccentricities and remarkable elo-
quence always attracted large crowds.
When he came to Tazewel to meet his
appointment he found a large throng
gathered. AS there was no building in
the new community that would accom-
modate the crowd, he invited the peo-
pie to assemble at the amphitheatre
which nature had formed, the sinkhole
above referred to, and there preached
one of his remarkable discourses. He
then mounted his horse and rode off to-
ward Kentucky or Tennessee, and was
never again seen in this community.
Lorenzo Dow was born in the State
of Connecticut in the year 1777 and died
IN 1884. He had a limited education.
was very eccentric but full of zeal. In
his youth he was much perplexed over
the doctrines of the various churches,
but finally joined the Methodists. He
preached only short time as a member
of that denomination, and then started
out on his life's work as missionary or
evangelist. He left the work in the
Methodist ministry from a conviction
that he had been called as a missionary
to the Roman Catholics of Ireland. He
went to Ireland and his preaching in
that country attracted great crowds,
and brought him some persecution. He
also visited England, and there intro
duced the system of camp-meetings
that had originated with the Methodists
Of this country and that are still popu-
lar in America and England. After re-
turning to America for a time, Dow
again visited Ireland and England in
1905. He then returned to the United
States, where he Travelled all over the
country and preached for many years,
never preaching twice at the same
place. His natural eloquence, great
earnestness and his eccentricities of
dress and speech attracted large crowds
every where he went and preached.
Tradition informs us that the crowd
which assembled here to hear Dow was
no exception.
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1909-03-04

icans that change of twelve thousand
votes in the State would defeat the
Democrats. Two voting clements the
Republicans count on if they indorse a
former Democrat-radical Statewide
prohibitionists of the Anti-Saloon Lea
que and the bitter partisans of former
Governor Montague. The more hopeful
Republicans believe that Mr.. Montague
would stump the State for one of his old
supporters if he were a candidate
against Judge Mann; this, with the pro-
vision, however, that the candidate be
clean, capable and upright. There is
no doubt that the Republicans of the
Old Dominion are building this sort of
an air castle.
Democratic party men do not take
much stock in this plan of the enemy.
They say that it will evaporate before
the campaign opens. In Virginia a man
who scratches a name from the Demo-
cratic ticket is no longer considered a
Democrat.
The talk of breaking away from party
lines, they argue, is always rife about
this time of year, but when the ballot
ing begins the Democrats will all be on
the right side.
They do not entertain any fear that
a well known Democrat will run as an
independent, much less that Governor
Montague would campaign for him. The
hopeful Virginia Republican answers by
pointing to the election of three Repub-
licans from Congressional districts in
North Carolina last November. They
anticipate rebellion of the same sort
in their State.
The March meeting of the Virginia
Republican State Committee, called by
Chairman Slemp, is awaited with lively
interest. There is considerable specu-
lation as to what plans the Republicans
will make.
