BASCOMB SLEMP
In TAFT'S CABINET
Wlll Be Made Secretary Of War Soon
Alter The President Elect Returns
From Panama.

1t is understood that immedi-
ately upon the return of Presi-
dent-Elect Taft from Panama,
the announcement will be made
of the selection of Congressman
c. Bascom Slemp as secretary of
war.
Although rumor to the effect
that Mr.. Slemp would be in the
Taft cabinet has been current for
some time. it was not until last
week that they began to take def
mite shape. 1t is believed that
Mr.. Taft has had considerable
difficulty in deciding whether to
give one of his cabinet places to
Mr.. Slemp or to Alvah Martin,
OF Norfolk; but since the latter s
recent conference with Frank H.
Hitchcock on the subject, it is
thought he will not longer figure
as possibility. but that the ap-
Pointment will fall to the young
Congressman from the Ninth inn
mediately upon Mr.. Taft's return
from Panama.
Mr., Slemp is said to have the
solid backing of Ex-Secretary
Shaw, of the treasury, and other
men high in official life.

MOST POWERFUL
SHIP APLOAT.
The Delaware launched al Newport
News Saturday Is The Greatest
BattleShip Ever Built.

The great battleship Delaware
was successfully launched from
the yards Of her builders, the
Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock Company. Newport
News, Va, at 1890 o'clock
on last Saturday. The launch
ing was witnessed by eight
thousand people.
The Delaware is $40 feet long.
Her coal bunker capacity is 2, 500
tons, which is sufficient to send
her at a Io-knot speed a distance
of 6,72o knots or 2S days steam
ing. She will have triple expan-
sion reciProcating engines, and
will require 900 men to man her.
Her armament will consist of a
main battery OF ten I2-inch rifles

fourteen 5-inch raPid-hre guns,
four 3-Pounder saluting guns. four
I-Pounder semi-automatic guns,

ness, and she will have a speed
OF 2I knots an hour. which is be-
lieved to be the highest practical
bic for vessel of this type and
class. The arrangement of her
battery guns is such as to permit
a broadside fire IS per cent.
greater than that of the broad
side fire of any battleship now
afoat, OF, so far as known, un-
der construction.
Compared with the battleships
OF any foreign nation, the Della
ware surPasses them all. She is
one OF the four sister ships au-
thorized by Congress. which will
form an indomitable squadron.
The other vessels are the North

STRUCK By TRAMP.
Jailer Richardson, Of Pulaski, RsesiIsS
Painful Injuries.

Rufus Richardson, who is the
jailer at Pulaski, Va, was on last
Saturday severely injured by an
unknown man, whom he was at
tempting to arrest. Richardson,
In company with the sheriff and
several other officers, had gone to
a point about a mile below Pu-
laski to arrest some tramps who
were on fast freight SO, which
stops at that place for water. He
went little further east than the
rest of his companions, and had
started back with his prisoner,
when, quick as a flash, the knight
of the road turned and dealt him
a blown with a slungshot that
felled him to the ground. Stag
gering to his feet Richardson sent
several bullets after the fleeing
hobo, but without effect, and the
''weary willie" soon vanished
from sight at turn in the road.
Examination showed that Rich
ardson's cheek bone had been
badly fractured by the blown, and
while the wound is very painful,
he is doing well otherwise.

BEAR EALLOV NEWS.
ksEt Ward and Rad RafFiS Came EeaI
Freezing to Death.

Bear Wallow, Va, Feb. O.
The recent blizzard which has
just passed our way was pro-
nounced by some as the most
severe and damaging storm in
recent years. Much complaint
is heard from farmers in regard
to fences being blown down and
other injuries.
The worst news received here
was this: On Saturday evening,
January goth. Newt Ward and
Rad Harris left the Yellow Pop
lar Lumber Co.'S camps which
are situated about 8 miles from
this place. They we're some
what under the influence of
"moonshine" liquor when they
left the camps and were last
seen at the postoffice about 2
p. m. That evening at about &
O'Clock they were missed from
the camps and several parties
went in search of them, but they
could not be found. Then a
general search was started and
two hours later Ward was found
~ miles down the river almost
frozen and entirely sPeechless.
Harris was found in a short time
and in worse condition than
was Ward. They were taken to
Wards home and they are now
in a critical condition. Their
hands and feet are frozen and
the nails have come off. The
flesh has fallen from their fingers
and toes and it is feared that the
hands of Ward will have to be
amputated at the wrist. Owing
to the fact that Harris was in a
spring when found he was not
SO badly frozen.
Regardless of the snow and
rain D. w. Altizer and !. w.
Wyatt visited on Big Greek Sun
day evening.
Walter Wyatt who was re-
Gently called to Smyth county on
account of the serious illness of
his father. has returned and re-
ports his father on the road to
recovery.
Owing to the fact that John
Christian made a mistake and
ordered the machinery for his
saw mill from the Norton Gro
Gerry Company instead of the
Bluefeld Hardware Co., the mill
is standing idle this week and
"Dock" is getting his much
needed" rest.
