WHAT HAS RECENTLY TRANSFERRED
IN the COUNTIES OF TINS
SECTION.

1t has developed that the negro, Rob-
ert Moore, who was hurried away from
Abingdon on last Saturday under heavy
guard to prevent lynching, after hav-
ing confessed that he murdered James
Hines, the l6-year-old son Of an Abing-
don druggist, is insane, and that the
boy had not been murdered. The SUD
posed decspitated body of the boy. re-
ported to have been found in Dickinson
county, where the negro said he COM
mitted the crime, has been re-examined
and found to be the carcass of dog.
AS result of an accident at the Tug
River Lumber Company's plant, on
Cherry Creek, in Wise county, Henry
Hodges, mill foreman, lies at deaths
door with his head crushed, the injury
exposing the brain, a knee cap broken
and his body badly burned by the fric-
ton belt running near where the uncon-
scious man was found. Mr.. Hodges had
gone under the mill alone to do some re-
pair work, and just how he sustained
such serious injuries is a mystery to
the other employees at the mill. His in
juries are considered fatal.
The Virginia Supreme Court Of Ap-
peals will begin its summer term at
Wytheville on June 1. Among the mat
tiers to be considered at this term are
four Commonwealth cases, the most in
teresting of which is that of Elijah
Wright, the Dickinson county murder
er, now under sentence of death. The
case of Wright has attracted consider
able attention, and if he is executed he
will be the last man to be hanged in
Virginia. The crime of which he was
convicted was committed some months
before the law providing for electrocu-
ton became effective.
After trial lasting one week the jury
in the case Of Wheeler's administrator
vs. Clinchfield Coal Corporation, in the
Russell county circuit court on Monday
returned verdict against the Clinch-
field Corporation for $40, 900, the full
amount sued for by plaintiff. A son of
Wheeler's was killed in a mine owned
by the c. C. & o. Railway, by a run
away car in April, 1906. The verdict in
the case at the first trial was in favor
of the plaintiff for the sum of 81, 600.
and upon appeal to the Supreme Court
was sent back for retrial, with the re-
suit as stated above. This is said to be
the largest amount of damages allowed
by jury in case of this character in

Quite number have paid no atten-

THE STATEHOOD FARCE.
4 Farmington Times-Herald,

From Pennington Times-Herald.
Congress has adjourned and Roose-
welt has retired from the presidency,
and New Mexico and Arizona are still
outside the Jsisterhood of states. There
has been so much deception practiced
on our people in this matter of state
hood that it is worth while to go into
the matter in detail. This is also ne
~cessary in order to fix the blame for
failure where it rightfully belongs.
There is still to be seen on sign
boards and out of the way places a
little red sticker that reads in white
letters as follows: "a vote against
Andrews is a vote against statehood"
The white lettering is the only evil
dence that will entitle that statement
to be considered v e a white lie.

All men of information now know
that it is Andrews and men of his
type who are in public positions in the
territory who are the direct and sole
cause of the failure of statehood. But
they now like all who attempt to sus

.HEAPING A NEW
BURDEN ON WOMEN

The new tariff bill contains some
clauses hat vitality affect the women
of the entire country, as well as the
women of Roswell. These are the
clauses or Hosiery and gloves. The
new bill increases the duty on hosi-
cry from sixty per cent to eighty per
cent, an increase of twenty per cent.
This will be used as a lever by the
hosiery trust, for a certain group Of
manufacturers control this product in
the United States, to greatly increase
the price of hosiery. Merchants claim
that the effect of this bill will be to ex
clude all hosiery selling for twenty
five cents Or less, and would compel
the merchants to sell an inferior for
eign grade at from 35 to so cents or
buying a much inferior domestic pro-
duct at a still larger price.
Today nearly eighty percent of the
hosiery made In this country Is sold
through one commission house and
this house is largely responsible for
the increase in the duty. The import
ed hosiery is about ten per cen of the
domestic hosiery. so that this one
house has practically q monopoly OF
the hosiery line.
The duty on gloves is increased
away out of reason. Schmachen
gloves get an increase in tariff from
1913 to $50 per cent; Lamb from 60 to
174; Kid, from 33 to 102 per cent.
This means that the cheapest i'm
ported glove will cost 80 cents per
pair more than at present and then
increase ranges upward to 80 cents.
And all this is to max a few men in
Fulton county, New York. still richer
and richer.
Thus the new bill taxes every wo-
man in the country to benefit q few
men who are already reaping enor-
tariff.
