THE CANDIDATES AND
THE WHARTON LAW

If the candidates for Governor will
switch Off long enough TO tell the
people how they stand on certain
public questions OF importance they
will do the.yoters agreat favor. One of
these questions is the Wharton Law.
The people Of this section, oppressed
and robbed by the Insurance trust
would like to know the attitude OF
the candidates towards this insati-
able Octpus. 80 after as we have seen
neither OF the gentlemen have opened
their mouths about il. How stand the
candidates on the question? Should
or should not the Wharton law be re-
enacted2

THAT CONNECTION AT NORTON

Regret AMI disappointment is wide
~ felt and expressed at the failure Of
the Norfolk and Western and the
Virginia and Southwestern To get
together at Norton. The walk of
nearly or quite mile across the
town, from one station TO the other
is intolerable in good weather and
out OF the question in bad weather
Several ladies enroute from Bristol
10 Tazewell, short time ago, had
10 make this barbarous trip from one
station 10 the other, and were loud
in their complaints, and naturally
so. OF course, no one makes this
journey but once, and when the facts
become generally known no one will
be caught except IMMORTALITY so.
II the two roads can reach no
amicable conclusion, they should
jointly maintain hack line between
the two stations. Something should
be done.

\ Great Injustice.

From the Abingdon NiIginian.
We were surprised at the Harrison
burg News in imputing wrong
motives 10 Mr.. Henry &. Stuart for
with drawing from the contest for
the gubernatOrial nomination. and
still more surprised nj its attempt 10
justify its position by saying that
Mr.. stuart, or any otker man would
he Justified i'm withdrawn upon
the ground il attributed To Mr..
stuart. y mere statement Of the pro-
position is the strongest argument
against it-kills il dead.
The one most effected by the with
drawal OF Mr.. Stuart is the Republi-
can party-it stands i'm just that
much for its own good. Had he
remained candidate there would
have been none OF this foolishness
going on between Judge Mann and
Mr.. Tucker. 1t would have been a.
useless for them TO be i'm the primary
contest as ii would have been for a
republican 10 be in the regular cleo
ton against him. He had those two
wothy gentlemen skinned To a point,
and the mere idea of the candidacy
of republican knocked silly. What
Heny Stuart can do and will do four
years hence will be a plenty 10
satisfy anybody.

TRY 1T IN TAZEWELL.

The citizens of Lebanon have pro-
jected a Horse Show and Sales Dav
on somewhat unique plan which
seems 10 be a good thing. Instead of
the simple parade and show of
horses, as in TazeweIl and other
places, the management offers prizes
in cash for the best horse in several
distinct classes, and for the best lady
rider, etc. These additional attract

each month large number of peopIe

What's the Matter at BIacksburg?

However, whatever may be wrong
there can be no justification of the
harsh and unkind criticisms the

viction that if the people at Blacks

critics in the State will complete the

You must eat In order to live and

You must not diet, because the

But this food must be digested,

When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
