General Floyd from his childhood I'M
I'll his death was closely identified with
the history and development of Taze-
we'll county. His ancestors were among
the first to locate and acquire title to
large boundaries of land in that garden
spot of Virginia, Burkes Garden. The
valuable estates now held by Robert
Lawson and others in Burkes Garden
continued in the Floyd family until a
short time prior to the Civil War. The
General was Governor of Virginia in the
early fifties, as was his father at an ear
lier date. He was Secretary of War
under Buchanan's administration. and
resigned that position to identify him
self with the Confederate cause. Pre-
vious to the organization of the State
Line he was a Brigadier General in the
Confederate Army and, as such, did i'm
portant service IN what is now West
Virginia, for some time commanding
the forces that operated in the vicinity
of Gauley River. If we mistake not.
the late Capt. VIM. E. Peery was then
a member of his staff.
General Floyd was man of imposing
person, splendid orator and a daring
soldier. He is well remembered by this
writer, and | recall hearing him make
the first speech he made after leaving
Washington as Secretary of War. It
was delivered from the porch of the old
Exchange Hotel at Richmond. and To
the "Smyth Blues" and the "Wythe
Greys." These two companies were
the first to start in April, 1861, to Rich
mond to offer their services in the Lost
Cause" They became a part of the
immortal "Stonewal Brigade" at it's
formation, and the survivors of these
| gallant companies remained with that
brigade until the surrender at Apn,-

The Danville Register breaks in on
the tumultuous chorus of popular pro-
test with an editorial article setting
forth 1.-The good effects of high prices. :"
The writer must possess a cheerfulness
of vision which would see nothing of
the darkest cloud but the silver lining.
To great majority of the people of
this country present conditions repre-
sent the plight OF the man who had but
one yard of cloth to cover two of flesh
Prospective benefits will not clothe the
naked or feed the hungry. Given an
income practically stationary, and cost
of living going up by leaps and bound,
and the result is misery which no theory

If our Norfolk contemporary will only
remember, 'The good effects of low
prices" has been effectively proven in
recent years. During the second Cleve
land administration food stuffs and
clothes were cheaper than they have
ever been known to be in this country.
Yet, there were moro hungry and rag
ged people in proportion to the popula-
ton than at any period in our history.
The patch on the breeches was called
"the Cleveland badge" and millions of
idle men tramped over the country beg

AS virtual attorney for Mr.. Ballipger
In the Congressional investigation now
progressing in Washington, Senator
Root is showing all the zeal and ability
he vainly displayed when in the outset
of his career as a criminal LAWYER he
labored to save Boss Tweed from the
just consequences of his crimes against
the people of New York. That he is
now judge in the case does not deter
the Senator from open advocacy of the
cause OF the party on trial. 1t is an ex-
hlbition of indecent partizanry from
which a person of nice moral percep-
tions would shrink as from plague -
Norfolk Virginian- Pilot.
If Senator Root is, while Judge, open
ly advocating the cause of the party on
trial, We agree with the Viginian-P Pilot
that he is doing wrong. But we call
the attention of our Norfolk contem-
porary to the fact that the Virginia
Democrats have recently elected, and
just installed as Governor of Virginia, a
man whose conduct on the lines it is
condemning has been more reprehensi-
bic than Senator Roots can possibly be.
We refer to Governor Mann's conduct
at the Rhea investigation. He, in the
State Senate, expressed decided opin
ion in the case, and afterwards accepted
a place on the court which tried the
case. And while sitting as a judge or
juror was open in his advocacy of the
cause of the party on trial.

dertaken to justify themselves upon
the pretext that Virginia has certain
interests that ought to be looked after.
These claims, however, have been over
thrown by the Times-Dispateh, the
Lynchburg News, and the virginian-
Pilot. There is no necessity or justifi-
cation for such an appropriation. II
it is made, it will warrant the public in
believing that it is a job originated and
executed by the Machine. It will not
only be useless expenditure" but a
criminal expenditure of the public funds.

ANOTHER JOB CONTEMPLATED.

The Senate of Virginia has passed a
bill appropriating $lO,O 900 for fee to be
given ex-Attorney General Anderson
for service, hereafter to be done, in the
suit of the West Virginia certificate
holders against that State.
The Lynchburg News has protested
against this action as useless expen-
diture," and in this protest it has been
joined by the Richmond Times-Dis-
patch, the Richmond Journal, the Nor
folk Virginian-P Pilot, and, perhaps, other
Democratic newspapers.
1t will be remembered that this suit is
under an enabling act, passed by the
Virginia Legislature, authorizing the
holders of the West Virginia certificates
to use the name of Virginia to prose-
cute their suit against the other State.
The act says:
''All the expenses involved in con-
nection with any Of the matters afore-
said 1.-THE bringing and prosecution of
the litigation now in the courts) shall
be borne by the certifcateholders as
provided in the joint resolution afore-
slid, and the State shall not be subject
ed to any expense on that account"
Since the protests have been made by
the newspapers against the appropria-
lion, its movers and defenders have I'M

FOB IAZeWELL MEN,

Tazewen Democrats will meet Tues
day to send delegates to the Bristol
convention to nominate a Democratic
candidate for Congress.
The meeting will be important. Taze-
well is great county and a strong one.
1t should show the people of the Ninth
that its Democrats are in earnest. A
good start is half the race.
The meeting will be fine meeting if
each man will do his part to make it SO.
This is time when each man can do
something and now is the time to do it.
There should be an outpourinR.
There will be if each man will do his
part toward the outpouring. The peo-
pie should be there in mass to encour-
age and stimulate each other.
Make up your mind, Mr.. Tazewell
man, to go to that meeting if it pops a
hame-string. Use the telephone and
the mail to get other people to go and
get out and do some talking. Feel like
old times when Ninth District Demo-
Gratis could and would fight and fought
to win. The way to win is for each
man to do his share. 1t is the only way
to win.
Get the district started and walked
up. Make the meeting a rouser. Let
it be Tazewell's signal to the rest of
the district that she will do her part
and that whoever else may lag she will
not A big success will encourage and
hearten the whole district and will call
aid and command confidence.
1t is up to the individual Tazewell
Democrat to do things, and do them
now. Begin today. Get busy. The
people have the thing in their own
hands and do not have to wait for the
leaders. Let the people show they are
in earnest and really intend to do some
thing. Then they can call on the lead
ers to go to the acknowledgements Times.
The above appeared in the Roanoke
Times of the End inst, and on the fol-
lowing day our Roanoke contemporary
had another advisory article addressed
to ''Mr. Tazewell Man"
Evidently it is the purpose of the
Times to play the roll of nurse or guar
dian for the Democrats of the Ninth
District, judging from its prompt dis
position to coddle the Democrats of
Tazewell county. No doubt our Demo-
cratic friends in Tazewell will duly ap-
preciate the friendly interest of the
Times, but they will be amused at the
advice it is giving.
The Tazewell Democrats have for
twenty-five years been doing the things
they are now advised by our Roanoke
contemporary to do. They have not
only broken many hame-strings, but
numbers of trace-chains in heroic effort
to take the county from the Republi-
cans. They have held enthusiastic
meetings, and rallied to the standard of
their party and its candidates with
fidelity unsurpassed. If there is one
thing more than any other to be ad-
mired in the Tazewell Democrat it is
his persistence and hopefulness after so
many crushing defeats.

Our Bris oil friend, the Herald-Cou
rier, is very soiicitous to know whether
the Virginian-Pilot would prefer Tag
CART OF Indiana TO Bryan of Nebraska
as the Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent in 1912. Why, bless your dear
heart, has it really coma to such mass
that the once great Democracy has no
choice but between a nominee who
would ensure its d-feat and one who
would bring it into di-grace? Nav
Heaven spare US the dire necessity of
weighing the relative disadvantages of
the frying pan and the fire, the devil
and the deep sea! But should a deplor-
able contingency arise offering no othor
alternative to Bryan, the hoodo but
Tommy Taggart, the thimble-rigger
we should not hesitate for a moment
about following to preordained failure
the respectable child of misfortune and
monomania, rather than run the risk
that the Goddess of chance might deal a
winning hand to her devoted votarv.
We had much rather lose with Bryan
than win with Taggart; but we are
against them both. Norfolk Vireinian-

This amendment went out on an ad-
verse vote OF 20 to Al.
The principal discussion was over
the Brown amendment, and Senator
LaFollette's amendment requiring the
Interstate Commerce Commission TO
make a physical valuation OF the rail,
roads.
Previous to the vote on the Brown
provision speeches were made I'D op-
position to IL by Senators Bailey, Clay
and others.
Mr.. Bailey based his opposition on
the ground that the regulation OF
consolidation should be left largely to
the states; and Mr.. Clay on the fear
that IL the subject of consideration was
revived, advantage might be taken OF
the fact to replace masy OF the OBJ
jectionable features of section and

,LaFoi,ette's Amendment.
Mr.. LaFollette formally pr esented
his physical valuation amen dments,
which he supported in speech. He
said that such valuation WAS abso-
luteIy necessary as basis for the liking
of the rate. The amendment he said
met with the approval of the Inter
state Commerce Commission and
predicted that II defeated 1t would
not be long before the railroads
would be petitioning for its enact
ment into law. The amendment was
supported by Senators Bailey and
Borah and was opposed by Senator
Elkins. Mr.. Elkins said that 1t
would cost s5,ooo.o 900 to make such
valuation as was required and that
by the time 1t was finished. another
would be necessary.
