Some Campaign Lies
(Conmunicated.)

Mr.. Editor On Tuesday morning,
an illiterate Confederate veteran
from the west end of the County
was IN town, and went up to one of
the prominent citizens on the street,
who was also Confederate, and
said: 81 want to ask you a question.
The RepblicanS are telling the old
Confederates in my section that their
pensions were not granted by the
Legislature of Virginia, but by Re-
publican President, Mckinley, Just
before his death" The old fellow
wanted TO know if it wasn't cam
paign lie. Of course, his comrade
Informed him that it was,-a most
outrageous one, and explained to
him that the President or Congress
of the United States granted pen
sions only to Northern soldiers, and
that the Democratic Legislature of
Virginia, at Richmond, granted the
pensions TO the Confederate soldiers.
In this connection we recall other
campaign lies, which we learn from
reliable sources are being used and
circulated by the followers of Mr..
Slemp to deceive and prejudice the
unlearned voter against Mr.. Stuart.
One is that the Democratic State
officials, at Richmond, have not paid
out the pension money this fall to the
Confederate soldiers, but are holding
it back to be used in the campaign
this fall for Stuart. The man who
would make up and tell such tale
as this, to deceive an old Confederate
soldier, should have the word
LIAR" stamped all over him.
IT S true that some of the PEN
sioners have not yet received their
checks, but we all know that the
pensions will be paid as soon as possi-
be, and that not one dollar could
possibly. bc used for campaign pur-
poses.
Here is another one: That Mr..
Stuart, while a member of the Con-
stitutional Convention, advocated that
before a man should be qualified to
vote, he must be the owner of at
least twenty-five export cattle. An
other one is that, if Mr.. Stuart is
elected TO Congress, he will have
Congress pass a law to disfanchise
every man who does not own $500. 90
worth of property.
Now, Of course, any man Of any
information knows that these state
ments are outrageous campaing lies.
But there are political raseals who
are so low and indecent that, in or
der to get the vote of the ignorant
man, they will stoop to fabricate and
tell the most absurd falsehoods
Mr.. Slemp's supporters must feel
themselves to be in very sore. need
of votes, when they resort to such
shocking and shameful methods of
trying to get votes for their much
boasted of straight as a string
candidate.

Stuart's Cavalry
(From Roanoke Times.) J

-N~----N-NO
All who served in the Confederate
Army or lived in the times of the
Civil War remember the thrill that
used to stir their hearts at the men
tion of 'Stuart's s cavalry" 1t was
gallant, magnificent, peerless body of
men, gallantly, gaily magnifcently
led. 1t was said by competent militia
ry critics to be the finest cavalry that
ever rode in rapid raid or swept
across a field in resistless charge.
Southern people who read or remem-
ber history hear to this day of "Stu-
arts cavalry with a certain swell
ing and uplifting and solemn exalta-
ton. 1t was a glorious creation of the
war, and is proud and glorious memo
ry.
1t looks as If in these days of
peace we are having "Stuart caval-
ry' once more. 1t is another Stuart,
but a Stuart of the same blood and
breed and kind as the man who led
the dauntless horsemen of the South
Most of them are other men, for those
who followed the other Stuart gener-
ally are too old and worn now to keep
steady in stirrups and steady seats in
saddles. But the men, too, are the
same kind and stock as those who
rode behind j. E. B. Stuart-just as
true, as sturdy and as brave, just as
loyal to Virginia and cause and coun-
try. They ride behind no battlefag,
but they ride to victory. And like the
other Stuart's cavarly, they are in
rvincible.
Thirty-four years ago Hampton 8
cavalry rode in South Carolina just as
these mountaineers ride now and for
the same cause. They rode to make
sure that white men should rule in a
white mans country. That issue has
been raised here in the ninth district.
Stuart has been assailed and attempt
has been made TO stir feeling against
him because he voted for that very
thing-white rule in Virginia. The
challenge has been answered. The
WAibC iAiCii AAOA2 AhO0AIdil NaiiCJ
are answering. They are answering
it by mounting their horses and riding
to the Stuart meetings and falling in
behind Stuart, in county after county.
Their long ranks and the clatterinp
hoofs of their horses tell that
Stuart's cavalry is in action, that il
has heard "boots and saddle" from
the bugles and is sweeping on.
Nothing can stop it. Stuart's cav.
airy could not be stayed and Hamp,
toms cavalry swept away a hostile
majority of over $4,000 and estab
lished white supremacy. The new
Stuart's cavalry is riding right on.
1t is riding to show to the State ant
the world and to establish forever
that the Virginia mountaineers ar,
free men and will remain free; tha
they are white men and intend t,
stand by white men and and by th'
man who stands for white rul,
] throughout. Virginia.

SIemp Against Workingman,

The Industrial Era, of Roanoke
says: "How did c. B. Slemp vote ?
Under the shadow of the big stick, ,
he voted to bedevil and enslave the
workers. For a mess of public pat
ronage, he voted to chain them to
the chariot wheels of capital and
drag them eternal captives to the
-producersA But it is now our
time to vote, and we are going to
vote as becomes men who dare to be
free men. We are not fighting a bat
tie for any party. We are contending
for the rights of the men who make
the wealth of the world. -
Now we are going to rebuke the
men who turned a deaf ear to our
appeal.'

Norton
Citizen.

The marriage of Nortons very
popular physician, DR.. Robert p.
Carr is announced to take place the
third of November The bride-to-b be
is Miss Bessie McClung, formerly cf
Botetourt county, Virginia, a sister
of Mrs. j. R. McNutt, of Norton.
Mrs. A. d. Walker passed through
Norton last Sunday, enroute to Taze-
well from Oklahoma. She spent sew
eral hours in Norton with friends
having missed the morning train.
Everybody remembers Ance Walker,
the millwright of Tazewell. He is
farming in Oklahoma and like all who
went to that section of the West is
prospering. The wheat crop this year
was exceptionally fine. Mrs. Walker
said that one of her old Tazewell
neighbors, W. H. Suthers, threshed
1000 bushels of whent and 1000
bushel of oats.
The Bluefeld Daily Telegraph in
Sundays issue stated that the circus
crowd at Bristol on Saturday was es-
timated at $4,000. This sounds
nightly like some of Slemp's esti-
majors were reporting for the Tele-
graph that day.
We want Cyclone Marshall to come
down in Wise before the campaign i:

ular campaign orators with the

Mr.. Colley, the wellknown jeweler,

rife and rampant at Honaker and in
