Editor of the Clinch Valley News,
Tazewell, Va,
Dear Sir:
In reading your edition OF the
9th, inst, / note a short and witty
article headed "Well Drowned. The
writer in referring to Hon. j.
Thompson Brown, as a candidate for
Commissioner ofAgTiculture refers to
the probability of a scarcity of votes
in 'these woods" This part was
we'll worded. there may be a scarcity
Of votes among the back kWoods
people, however, Mr.. Brown is like
ly to get good vote among the best
people in the State of Virginia where
there are not SO many woods, but
where people know how to appreciate
a thoroughly good man. Mr.. Brown
is highly cultivated, intelligent
gentleman, and experienced farmer
We'll known and highly respected in
his community, and L have nj
doubt will poll large vote, ano
/ hope he will be elected, and Will
he may be ''done up brown" in tn
woods, believe he will be "done VI
white'in the open. There is evident
ly something lacking under tn
present administration. Whether MI
: Koiner is in fault or not, do nc
know, however, L think 1t is tim
: for change.

]. 7. BROWN IN
TAzEWELL TUESDAY
Candidate For Commissioner
of Agriculture, Addressed
a Small Audience.

The expression, Mud-slinging, is
somewhat indefinitely understood.
but, from the usual acceptation of
the term, Mr.. Blown did about rs
much of that sort of thing as he well
could in the time he spent here on
Tuesday. By mud. singing" we un-
derstand in a general way, as an ell
ort TO bemsirch the other fellow,
which may be done by telling the
Truth on him as we'll as 10y misrep-
resentation. The reporter here does
not undertake to decide which meth
od the speaker adopted OH Tuesday.
Mr.. Brown spoke i'm the Court House
To- an audience of about % or 80 peo-
ple-some of whom were not 'oters.
Judge Manns' failure TO get here
created some disappointment, and
Mr.. Browns appointment was not a
dvertised, and the morning was rainy
so, all these things combined TO give
him a small hearing. The crowd here
was small. However, he met many
of the people of the community, and
was kindly received and made fav-
orable impression, and perhaps n few
votes.
Below is a summary of his speech
on yesterday, and as delivered in
Russell and other places in the State.
This summary is furnished by Mr..
Brown hi mself. He said in part
That in discussing the report of The
Auditing Committee of the Legisla-
ture, at BoydtOn and Abingdon he
had shown: That Mr.. Koiner did not
obey qhe law, that be did not enforce
the law, that he rendered Incorrect
statemens TO the Auditor, that he eX-
pended funds of the department
without vouchers TO show how eX-
pended that six of his seven annual
reports of his department were not
susceptible of proof from the hooks
that his issue and sale of fertilizer
tags was careless and unbusinesslike.
Mr.. Brown said that Mr.. Koiner
replies TO these charges by saying
that he is not bookkeeper but a
practical farmer, however, said Mr..
Brown, at the time of his appoint
ment he had abandoned farming, and
was living in North Carolina follow
ing some other occupation. Conscious
of his unfitness TO manage the busi-
ness affairs of his office, he should
not have waited eight years TO ask
for the appointment of an expert
bookkeeper. He makes an attempt
to shift the blame TO the Board o
Agriculture, by saying that both thu
Board and himself were held respon
sible for the defects in the bookkeep
ing, which Mr.. Brown said was 1
"pitiable and Intellectual attempt {,
shift the blame" Mr.. Koiner, sale
: Mr.. Brown, had a speech printed il
the Times-Dispatch purporting L
have been delivered at South Bos
ton, but which was not delivered a
all, according to information receiv
ed from South Boston.
The speaker said that not a word @
reply had been made by Mr.. Koine
i to these and other charges OF his, an
TO the charge as well, that he did nc
prepare the fertilizer bill, as he clair
: In the circulars, but that he was aC
tually in collusion with ietrilize
: manufacturers in opposition TO II
{ For these and other reasons, MI
Koiner cannot expect the people {
y the state TO re-elect him TO office.

An Uncertain Life

Because of some little success gain
ed in amateur plays many young peo-
Pile, misled by the plaudits of their
friends, have gone upon the stage only
to be bitterly disappointed at their
histrionic failure and meagre financial
compensation. Instead of the popu-
larity they expected to win they have
had to be content with Insignificant
parts and small salary.
How small most salaries are in the
theatrical profession is indicated by
the German government report of sal
aries paid actors and actresses in that
country. Only ten in every hund red
get more than $3.50 a year while forty
five per cent actually receive less than
$3.50. Doubtless salaries are somewhat
higher in this country, but so are ex-
penses.
The lesson to be drawn from this is
that unless n has pronounced and
rare ability they should never allow
the glamour of the footlights to wear
them from other occupations, in which
the compensation is fair, to the un-
certain and generally unremunerativG
life of the stage.

Railroad Magnate Dead

After a prolonged illness Of many
months during which time the end
has been almost daily expected II. III.
Hartman, the railroad magnate, pas
sed away at his palace home at Arden,
New York, September 9th. By the
death Of this man, one of the most ex-
tensive railroad owners of the world
passes away. The lines he controlled
had a mileage OF 81 ,s97 miles. 1t is
estimated that Hartman was five hum
dred times a millionaire. Yet, with
all his wealth he did not even live an
average lifetime being a compara-
lively young maj at the time of his
death. 1t is the general belief that
overwork wa the cause of Mr.. Harri-
mans death.

A Personal T riumph

1t is suggestive how many great
things for the world have been accom-
plished by individuals either acting
alone or nearly so. One or two cases
will illustrate this fact, One man,
St. Francis of Assist, morally regen-
Grated Italy. 1t was Columbus, o a
geographical society, that discovered
America. 1t was n woman, Florence
Nightingale, that revolutionized by
her work in the Crimea sanitary and
hospital service. 1t was one man
Gutenberg, that discovered printing.
Sc with DR.. Cook. His expedition
was not furnished by a government or
a scientific society. As compared with
expeditions so sent his was poorly
equipped, yet he succeeded where
they failed. This is no reflection upon
those expeditions for DR.. Cook un-
doubtedly profited by their experience
and the data they furnished. But he
had the n advantage of having but
himself to consider in his quest for the
pole. There was no conflict of opinion
about routes or methods OF travel, and
this fact with his scientific knowledge,
indomitable perseverance and courage,
enabled him to reach the pole and
plant upon il the American flag.

Now for the South Pole

Since Doctor Cook and Commander
Peary have announced their discover
les of the North Pole, Lieutenant
S~hackleton comes out with a statement
that he will make another try for the
South Pole. After an immense amount
of money is spent ard lives lost and
the South Pole is finally discovered
what is it going to benefit the discov-
erers or anybody else. "Old Glory"
is a mighty good old banner and we
are all proud of her but it does look
like a piece of fool-hardy business to
spend so much money and risk so much
just to plant her at the poles.

New Union Depot Finally q
Certainty

That Kansas City will now have a
new Union railroad station is now a
certainty. The matter was decided at
an election last week when the people
by a decisive vote declared in favor OF
the new station. The question Of a
new union station for Kansas City has
been the main topic for discussion in
the Kansas City papers for the past
four or five years and the city has finally
won out. The new station as planned
will be an ideal one.

The pessimists who have loudly pro-
claimed that this is a goddess and
churchless nation get 10 comfort from
the United States religious census for
1908 just issued. Nearly 100000
church members, being 39.l per CEN of
the population, as against a little over
q, 900, 600 members representing 1921
percent of the population IN 1890 does
not look as if the American people
have lost faith in God or are living un-
righteous lives. OF course some Of
this membership is mot working much
at it," as the boy said of the man
whose practice did not square with his
profession, but that has always been
the case. 1t is also true that much of
this membership is not regularly at
tendant at church services. Yet allow
ing for all this fact remains that the
religious sentiment of the people is
strong and steadily increasing.
