TWO SUSPECTS
ARE DISCHARGED
George Graham and Jimmie
Jones Know Nothing of
George Tragedy.

The young man, Geo. Graham
who has been in Jail here for severa
weeks, being charged by John Bailey
and Estill Jones as the murderer ot
county clerk Il. E. George, was re.
leased from custody yeeserday afteI-
noon, after thorough investigation
by special grand jury, of the
charges against him.
John Bailey, who is serving a term
In Princeton, w. Va. Jail for rob-
berry, and Estil Jones, who is also an
Inmate of the same Jail, were
brought here by officers to testify be-
fore the grand jury and reiterate the
charges aginsJ Graham and when
sworn by the clerk and taken TO the
grand jury room stated that the story
they had told was pure fabrication.
Jones said Bailey was the originator
of the charge against Graham, which
has deprived him of his liberty for
the past few weeks, and that the
story was concocted purely to give
them an opportunity to escape from
Jail. Jones told Bailey that he knew
a good deal of the law in such mat
ters, and that if he would stand by
him and stick TO the story that they
would be soon out of Jail and at
home with their families. Graham
was taken TO the scene of Mr.. Georges
death near the George home Tuesday
hy officer of the county, and were
shown the scene of the tragedye, but
ii was evident from his actions, that
he had never been i'm that community
before.
Bailey and Jones are pronounced
the most stupendous liars that ever
disgraced the Tazewell county court
house, and are men who the officers
of Tazewell county and all good citi-
zens think the country could we'll do
without.
The special grand jury who investi-
gated the affair are as follows: John

Burke'S Garden, June I5.-Such
rainy weather. June is half gone and
yet we've hardly had any summer

cloud. Vegetation is prolific and
every thing is most beautiful-if the
grass only could dry of and give the
picnicers better chance. IL reminds
one of Longfellow' Rainy Day.
THE day is cold and dark and
dreary;

occasion so far to enact any measures
for an unthreatened white supremacy.
Japan has its own anti-foreign ideas,
and among these it appears that spec
ial effort has been made to create DIFF
iculties for American residents in
Japan-that that country is deternin-
ed, and has been SO all along, to pre-
vent the possibility Of American citi-
zens obtaining a foothold there. Her
"sensitiveness," therefore, as to the
treatment Of her people in this coun-
try is piece Of amazing effrontery.
For years has the south been re-
viled and assailed for policy which
excludes negroes from political asser-
ton, and now the United States gov
eminent is urged to spend thousands
OF dollars to create a commission to
aid the people Of Liberia, who for
sixty yearsshave been given the chance
to govern themselves under conditions
which should have been favorable to
pne best growth. Booker L. Washing
ton pleads eloquently that "this great
and rich government" is in duty
bound to do as much for Liberia as it
is willing to do for Hawaii, the Phil
ippines, Cuba or Porto Rico, and he
modestly offers himself as one of the
Commissioners; would even, it is
thought, accept the salary and emolu-
ments Of the Office without a death
struggle-and 10! it develops that no
white citizen of Liberia has voice or
vote there. The law of the Liberian
Republic is framed for black supre-
macy-not Equality of political priv
ilege.''
All this is highly interesting, and
should lead the United States to wake

Unless each section is allowed to work
out its own problems, free from inter
ference, and with the sympathetic CO.
operation of the rest, the East will
continue to get European immigration
in quantities that cannot pissibly be
asslmilated promptly enough not to
cause infinite trouble economically and
lndustrially, if not socially. The de-
sirable immigration doesn't come
South, because the negroes are already
here as peasant class. The undesir-
able want to huddle in the cities and
longest them beyond all reason. The
South has the darkest problem of all,
with no aid from anybody in solving
1t. And now, in few years, has
sprung up a danger in the mighty
West which none but the easy-going,
tlhoughtless, indolent citizen will view
as exaggerated. It is high time the
bars were put up both East and West.
After protracted trial, the jury

murder in the second de-
gree, and each was sentenced to TWEEN
ty years in the penitentiary. This
sentence, in the case Of the elder
Cooper, would amount to practically
a life Imprisonment, if it were en-
forced. But they are now out on
bond and one would have to be very
sanguine of justice, indeed, who
would imagine that either of the
Coopers will ever meet with any pun
ishment for their crime.

So many strong mans hands will

making the same sad la
ment ere long. The Goth Congress,
distinguished for the largest output
Of hot air and the least accomplish
ment of needed legislation witnessed
in these many years, barely stopped
long enough to watch the inaugural
parade moment, then turned back
again and became the 61st Congress
with new speaker to elect; rules
fight on, the great and long advertised
tariff revision bill to consider, and a
host Of other measures, including the
parcels post, postal savings bank sys-
tenn, inheritance tax, etc. How long
the House must remain in session it
is impossible to predict, as the tariff
revision alone will probably mean an
extended wrangle in both Congress
and the Senate. Much other business
should be attended to between whites

ING-sEvERAL NEW MEN WILL
STRENGTHEN THE TEAM OVER
LAST YEARS FORM.

For the past few days the preachers
have been having their regular base

that from now on they can be out
right along.
Among the new fellows who are
showing up well since outside play be-
gan. are Moose" Pollock, Perry, Hag-
CART, Slingsby, Thayer, Forth. Bayard
and Nelson. Pollock shows good form
with the stick and Coach Grogan has
a great deal Of faith in him as a good
third sacker. Pie Nelson, who finished
so strong on the football team last
fall is winning a great deal of admira-
tion. He is also expected to make
good as he Is a hard worker and a
cool player.
Another man to whom the coach is
giving a great deal of attention is
