The Fair Next Week.

This is the last issue OF this paper
before the Fair, which begins next
Tuesday. That the Fair will be a
great success goes without saying. II
the weather is propitious, there will
be one of the largest crowds ever seen
here. Everything will be in readiness
on the grounds, ard in better shape
than ever before.
More than any other session of the
Fair does the coming one depend up
on the hearty cooperation of the far
mers and people of the county. The
agricultural exhibit is the only de-
partment of the fair dependent entir-
ely upon the country people. If the
farmers and gardeners do not do their
duty and stand by ii, il will be a
failure. However, we think there
need be no fears. The people will
stand by it and the children's parade
and all. Bring or send all you can
get of the best you have, premium or

SENSATION FOLLOW SENSA-
TON.

Following close upon the heels of
the sensational announ. ement of last
week papers that DR.. Cook had dis
covered the North Pole, comes an
other in Tuesdays papers. that
Commander Peary had discovered the
Pole, also. DIR. Cook S discovery was
made in April, 1908, and Peary's on
April 10, 1909. Dr. Cook left on his
expedition in April 1907, and Peary
July, 1908, this being his second ex-
petition.
The wonderful announcements
have startled the world, and further
details and information is anxiouslI
awaited. These daring Americans
have succeeded in accomplishing
what has been regarded rs almost In,
impossible, and that two men should
have reached the goal within veal
OF each other, and each norant OF
what the other had done, is almost
beyond belief. Now, that it is all
over, the question, is, what did
they 1ind2 What is the "North
Pole anyway? AS we understand
it, the North Pole is the fartheSt
point north, the Top of the apple, So
to speak, the point OF the earth's sur
face where all the lines of Longitude
converge. OF course, at the pole.
There is no north, east or west, but
every direction is south. The needle
points downward, provided the mag.
netic pole and the North Pole are
coincident and the same, which. we
believe, has not been determined.
unless the recent discoveries have de-
cIded il.
The value of the discovery-welI,
this scribe is unable to say. Certain
ly il viii! give the discoveries MOTOR
iety, and the American people some
thing TO brag about. Somebody ask
ed DR.. Cook what the Pole locked
like, and he replied: Like a new
25-cent piece, " and perhaps he would
not have been far wrong if he had
added land worth about 30 CENTS"
The writer OF these lines acknow-
lodges his utter inability to warm up
on such cold subject, and drops il
all right here.

KegIey on last Friday morning.

suited in verdict for the defendant,

grew out of an explosion which &C.
CURED in the mines OF the company
at Pocahontas several years ago, in
which several men lost their lives.
The contention of the counsel for
the plaintiffs was that a flair and
impartial trial. could not be had i'm
this jurisdiction on account of the
coal interests held by various citizens
throughout the county, and business
relations which had existed end now
exist with the coal operations in the
county and the Clinch Valley and
Pocahontas coalfields.
Judge Samuel w. Williams, OF
counsel for complainants stated to a
representative of the News on Tues
day that an appeal would be taken
to the Supreme Court.

Let the Women Carry Pistols.

Two women were recently fined in
Iazewell county for carry ing pistols,
and this incident has afforded text
tom1any OF the Virginia papers for a
condemnation of the pernicious habit
OF carrying concealed weapons, some
OF them going SO far as to insist upon
putting all pistol-toters upon the
chain-gangs.
The Richmond Journal takes the
position that women should be al
lowed to carry conct aled weapons,
ana TO this we heartily assent. IL
VIII be recalled that few years ago
when assaults upon women were
quite common, there was "A general
advocate of women going armed, and
in favor of teaching every VIII tie
woman the art of handling pistol.
Because there happens TO be iuIl
in the preparation OF tlis crime of
assault upon women by negro brutes,
il does not imply that such have cea-
sed altogether. There may be a recur-
renee at any time. The chief reason
that they have been lessened is due
To the fact that greater protection
now surrounds the women in the
rural sections. The dwellers In isola-
ted sections have abandoned their
homes, and moved into the towns
and cities, to obtain protection.
1t is against this rural exodus that
the press has been vigorously conten-
ding. A lack of schools, and no police
protection, are the prime causes OF
this abandonment. The schools, the
rural sections are getting. AS police
protection cannot be had, let the
women carry pistols whenever and
wherever they please. There is little
danger of the privilege being abused.
Women do not hold up and rob upon
the highway. They do not shoot up
towns. So let pistol-toting, by
women, be encouraged. In part il

Halley's Comet.

Great interest is manifested already
among astronomers in the reappear-
ance Of Halley's comet, which will
be seen again i'm April of next year
This comet was discovered by HALEY
i'm 1896. It's orbit is an elIipse, and
some faint conceptions of It's immen-
sity and the immensely of space, may
be gathered from the statement given
by astronomers, that this comet tray
cling a million miles a day, requires
about 73 years TO make the round
trip of its orbit. IL has been coming
toward us since 1872, when it round
ed the far end of its path. The mind
staggers in the contemplation of such

POLICE REGULATION FOR
THE FAIR.

Some disorder is to be expected at
the Fair. Where thousands of people
of all classes and conditions meet for
pleasure and recreation there is sure
TO be more or less rowing etc. Some
folks have strange notions OF what
constitute a good time. The man who
thinks he can't have a good time
without red liquor will be there GER
tain, and make fool of himself and
annoy other people. The disorder
should be reduced TO the minimum
by strics, rigid police force. AS a
rule Tazewell people know how TO
behave, but if any of them should
iail or forget how they should be AT
once reminded by police officer and
locked up where he can do neither
himself nor anyone else any harm, or
annoyance. No doubt secretary Con. |
enhaver will see that the pleasure
and success of the occasion is not
spoiled by rowdyism.
