Mr. Bussey was requested 10 COIN
forward AID make statement con
cerning his religious experience
and call to the ministry. He state'
that he united with the church Whe,
he was IA years of age and that th
course that his life has taken. ha
been due to Cody lives of his pa
rents and to the right living tina
they have instilled in him. He alsc
gave due credit. to the faithful
preaching of his uncle, Rev. Geo
w. Bussey, which led to his con
version. Mr.. Bussey referred to {
certain period in his life wher
he became lukewarm and fl
nally threw himself into the
pleasures of the world, only to find
them empty and unsatisfying. He
then cautioned young men who
were devoting their lives entirely to
the things of the world.
With reference to the call int,
the ministry, Mr.. Bussey said he
felt that his life was in Gods hands
and that he first decided to study
medicine. But something seemed
to whisper to him wait" Instead
of taking up medicine he was led
to continue his literary education,
thinking that he would make a
teacher of himself. All the while
friends on every hand would ask
him if it we're not his purpose to be
a preacher.-But up to this time
the matter of becoming a minister
had not been seriously considered.
Finally he abandoned the idea of
chosing teaching as profession and
became convinced that he should
give himself wholly and intirely to
the Christian ministry.
Mr.. Bussey was next examined upon
cardinal doctrines of the Baptist
denomination, being questioned by
Rev. G. w. Bussey in the presence
of the Council and the large con-
gregation. His answers were quick,
intelligent and highly satisfactory
to the Council.
A>special prayer was offered by Rev.
LIB. White, invoking Heavens rich
est blessings upon the young man
who has given his life to his Mas
ter. Then followed the impress
siye layingon Of hands" by the
members of the Council,
I. The formal charge was delivered
to the young minister by Rev. T.
II. Garrett, who having spent many
years of his life as a Christian min
lister knows something of the trials,
crosses and temptations, as well as
the duties, of young minister.
"This," said Mr.. Garrett, the most
honored profession in all the world
carries with it very solemn obliga-
tions and responsibilities" Through
it all BE as wise as a serpent and
harmeless as dove" The entire
charge was very beautiful and i'm
pressive, frequent reference being
made to teaching of the New Testa-
ment. As a fitting close, Mr.. Gar
rett presented a handsome Bible to
Mr.. Bussey as gift from the
church.
The charge by Rev. Nj. Garrett
concluded the impressive services of
the day. Rev. George w. Bussey
announced that the annual pro-
tracted meeting would be held du-
ring the week,
A happier people than the great
throng that attended the Grove
church Sunday, the writer has never
seen.
We greatly missed our dear
friend, Mr.. E. G.. Morgan, Sr. AL
though knowing that he was in far
away Texas, yet unoonsciously we
looked for him.

NOT BETTER REPUBLICANS.

Really We never thought the Taze-
well Republican had very much inild-
enee, but We may be forced to revise
that opinion. We observe that the
more our unl1cky contemporary tolls 10
prove that Stuart is a better Rspubli-
can than Slsmp and that The Rcanok e
Times is better Republican than the
Tazewell Republican, the more Repub-
licans come hustling over to Stuart and
the more of them send in their sub
scrlptioos 70 The Rosnoks Times; which

Is the time to subscribe. Roanoke
Times.
Now, what doss the Lynchburg News.
the RichmonS Times-Dispatch and the
other Democratic newspapers of the
State think of this avowal of the mouth
piece of Nr. Stuart, THAT Stuart is a
better Republican than Slemp and that
The Roanoke Times Is better Repub-
lican than the Tazewell Republican,
Does not the avowal disclose either that
Stuart and The Roanoke Times have
deserted the Democratic creed and
party, or that they are guilty of the
most reprehensible Discrimination in IN
sndeevor to win the confidence and sup
port Of Republicans in the Ninth? In
fact, Stuart and the Times are amenable
to both of these serious charges. They
have brazenly orrsyed themselves in
the Protection garment of Republican
ism and are protesting conversion to 6
political doctrine they have always
heretofore decried as vicious; and even
a casual analysis of their professions
reveals them as selfish and utterly false.
The Tazewell Republican would infinite
ly prefer to have but little influence
rather than an unlimited one secured
by the practice Of the rankest decep-
ton. And the Tazewell Republican has
not and will not say that Stuart and the
Roanoke Times are better Republicans
than any honest, true Republican, and
thereby admit that cant and hypocrisy
are superior to honesty and truth.
Like Senator Thomas, we have no
liberation for Democrats who preach
Republican doctrine" like Stuart and
the Roanoke Times, merely for a profit
in votes and an extension Of circulation
and influence. For consistent, honest
Democrats we have the highest respect.
For Democrats who clothe themselves
in the habiliments of Republicans and
try to sneak into the Republican fold
only for the purpose of pilfering Re-
publican votes, we have the profound
est disgust; and we believe that all
honest Democrats will share with US in
these sentiments.

made an editorial attack on me on &C
count of two letters / had published
critisising Hon. Henry C. Stuart's posi-

letter to the paper on the 23rd inst.
asking if the communication had been
received, and if the same would be

1.-THE UNKNOWN Mr.. SLEMP."

OF the many absurd things the Roa-
noke Times has been doing nothing has
been more ridiculous than its persistent
effort to depreciate the ability and rep
utation of Mr.. Slemp. In recent is
sue of the Times a true expression was
given of what that paper thinks of
Slemp's capacity. Says the Times:
"a final and very practical reason
why all Virginia should have deep in
terest in the Ninth district fight is that
1t really id fight for the State. Sup
posing himself to be entrenchsd abso-
lutely in his own district, Mr.. Slemp
had planned and begun an aggressive
movement into other districts, aided by
government patronage and the machin-
cry Of an Office holding organization.
! The Democrats of the Fifth district
were caught mapping and barely escaped
defeat and it had been announced that
Republican candidates would be nomi
mated and aggressive fights made in all
ten districts. Suddenly and fiercely at
tackled in his rear, Mr.. Slemp has been
forced to abandon his advance. 1t is
because the Ninth district men made
their fight that the Sixth district has
no fight and that the Democrats in the
other districts have walk over, except
in the Fifth. We owe the Ninth dis
trict good deal of good will and good
service; and victory there will mean
new assurance of peace and stability in
Virginia, not only in federal but in
State affairs"
And SO this little and unknown" Re
publican of the Ninth district is &C.
knowledged to be a menace to the De-
mocracy in the entire State. That is
why the Times and the Democrats of
the East are 80 desperately anxious to
have Slemp beaten. They want to stop
his aggressive movements into other
districts. This is why they are concen-
trating all money and all effort on the
Ninth. The Times says: "a victory
there will mean assurance of peace and
stability In Virginia, not only in Federal
but in State AFFAIRS
The Times should have said: "a VIC
tory there will mean a new lease of
power for the corrupt Democratic office
holders trust in Virginia"
Republicans in the Ninth and through
out the State should unite to make Bas-
com Slemp's victory over Stuart the
greatest he has ever won.

UNFAIR ELECTION LAWS.

The Roanoke Times has been pra-
ting about dishonest election methods
in West Virginia. The Bluefie!d Tele-
graph of the 2nd instant contained the
following. which We commend to the
cereful consideration of all Democrats
who have any disposition to be fair:
The law requires the county court
to meet on the first Tuesday in October
for the purpose of appointing commits
sioners to hold the election in Novem-
Der. The Republican county chairman
and the Democratic county chairman
each name one commissioner, the coun-
ty court naming the third commission
er. Each party appoints challenger
and the commissioners choose two
clerks, one of each party. SO it will be
seen that in West Virginia seven men
are required 10 hold an election at each
precinct-four of them from one party
and three OF the other party. Across
the State line, in old Virginia, the DOM
lnant party in the State appoints all
the election officials. In this State the
dominant party in county has four Of
the officers and the minority party three.
and all three CT those Of the minority
party's selection. We are led to this
explanation because q part Of the Viz
GINA press has criticised elections in
West Virginia. We believe that if the
West Virginia law was adopted by Vir-
ginia it would end all charges Of fraud
in its elections"
In Virginia we have electoral boards
in each county or city, these boards be-
ing composed of three partisan Demo
Gratis. They appoint the election officers
and will pay no attention to the wishes
or suggestions of the Republicans in Sc
lecting the judges OF election. The
Democrats have two of the judges and
both of the clerks, and the Republicans
have only one judge. Would it not be
fair to permit the Republicans to select
the one man who shall guard their in
terests at the polls? This right or priv
ilege is persistently denied them. Mr..
Honest Democrat, do you think this is
fairf Of all the unfair election laws in
the States, Virginia holds first place.
