Garbled Reports

1t is not always easy or possible TO
get the straihgt Of fight or Difficult
ty when 1t comes To newspaper re-
porting, and therefore due allowance
should be made for the exaggerated
account OF the difficulty which took
place OH the Fair grounds on the
last day, as appeared in the Blue
field Telegraph. Bowling's brains
were not knocked out, as was intI-
mated in the Telegraph's account of
the difficulty. lie received two slight
scalp wounds, and Mr.. Pobst had a
very slight wound. Neither OF the
paIties were detained day from
business.
George Bowling does not assume
two names, either, but writes his
name always, George Bowling. ."
He is a quiet, peaceable man, and IL
well thought of in this town. The
whole affair was unnecessary and
uncalled for, ana all parties regret it.
1t could have been easily avoided.
AS usual, somebody went off "haIf
cooked" ;" without thinking OF, or in
tending TO make trouble. The affair
was nothing like SO terrible as
would appear from the Telegraph
account OF 1t.

Echoes of The Fair

This paper gave general account
OF the Fair proceedings in last issue,
with most OF the premium winners
and the only paper which did. The
report covered the ground pretty
we'll, with one or two exceptions.
The editor will be pardoned for
stating, that while his 3-year old
mare was beaten by Jno. Thompsons
horse for first honors she won second
over his friend "Toby" Greever COM
ing out with the red ribbon. This
important event did not get in last
weeks paper.
The least said about some of the
"amusements" OH the Fair Grounds,
the better. DE gustibus non est
disputandum, there is no account
ing for tastes, as ii were. AS rule,
the shows were fairly good, and
we'll patroniyed by a number of
people.
Due credit should be given to Mrs.
J. A. Leslie and Mrs. IL. w. Pobst
for the arrangement and decorations
in the Agricultural building. They
worked hard and faithfully, and
much of the success of the Agricul-
tural and Needlework exhibits was
due to their valuable help.
The most admired object at the
Fair, at least in the Agricultural
building, was Mrs. T. l.. Shuttle
barger's pretty baby. This splendid
baby boy would have taken the blue
ribbon certain, had one been offered
for the prettiest baby.
1t may be well to announce in ad-
vance and in time, that a fine pre-.
MUM will be offered next year for
the prettiest baby in the county.
This will be warm contest. There
is need for such a show in this
county of pretty babies-a crying
need
There was no more welcome visI-
tors to the Fair, than Mrs. K. G.. S.
Watts, of Russell. While here she
kindly consented to act as one of the
judges of the Domestic Department.
The other two were, Mrs. l.. a.
Tynes and Mrs. s. J. Thompson.
What this trio of good housekeepers
don't know about good cooking, fl ne
cake, bread, etc., is scarcely worth
knowing or mentioning, and their
decisions were accepted as perfectly
satisfactory.
The rutabaga brought to the Fair
by DR.. Pyott, of Tip Top, was a
whopper. The Dr.. says he has about
an acre Of these fine tubers, and his
cows will pour the milk this winter.
Quite number-too many-fam-
iliar faces were absent from the Fair
this time. Why? The answer to
this question would make Important
reading.
The amount and quality of fruit
at the Fair exhibit was surprise TO
everybody, and the exhibitors were

Secretary.

The Needlework Department of
the Fair, under the efficient manage
ment of Miss Margaret Howell, was
one of the features OF the Fair, and q
very attractive and creditable one in
deed. The premium list is in the
hands of the Secretary, and we are
unable to publish it this week.
The number of exhibits and char
acter of the work reflects great credit
upon the ladies of TazewelI County.
The department was visited by a
very large number of people every
day during the Fair.

all their apples, too. and could have
sold much more. The boys must all

He was at the Fair-plenty of
him-the man who said he had bet
ter stuff at home than anything on
exhibition, but his word had to be
taken for ii. Some of these good peo-
pie promised to be on hand next
year.
Wonder if Thompson Valley and
Freestono raise anything to eat?
There was no evidence OF il in the
exhibit of fruits and vegetables at
the Fair.
DR.. Shepherd, of Falls Mills, call
ed around for an inspection of the
Agricultural exhibits for few min
utes. The editor heard him laugh
but was too busy to enjoy him fur
ther. He did not bring his good
wife with him this time, as he
should have done.
Mayor and Mrs. Crabtree and her
sister, and attorney w. b. Spratt,
represented Richlands at 'the Fair.
These are they who helped lay the
mud Sillc of the town of Richlands.

thing wrong. His mother, Sarah

Notice

TO WHOM IT MAY CON
Germ: In view of the fact that we
have recently heard of and read some
criticism, on the part OF some Re-
publicans, OF the action of the Elec-
toral Board in appointing Republi-
can Judges at few prcincts in Taze-
we'll County, we have this TO say to
the public OH the subject:
AS to the Republican Judges.
whom the Electoral Board has ap-
pointed i'm this County, we consider r
them TO be honest and truthful men
and perfectly capable of acting as
Judges OF Election; but, If the lead
ers of the Republican party OF Taze-
we'll think that these Judges SO ap
pointed are not pr operly qualified
and capable TO serve, { hen LET the Re-
publicans, through their County
Chairman or Secretary, prefer charges
in writing against said Judges and
hand same TO the Board. We will
then investigate these charges
promptly and fairly, and, if in any
case they are substantiated, we will
ask the Judge to resign, or will re-
move him. On the other hand, If The
charges are not sustained, then said
appointed Judges must act.
Very respectfully,

Chairman Electoral Bd.

AN Effect OF A
REPUBLICAN TARIFF
McKinlay and Slemp Spoke
in Richlands, a Town That
Has Experienced a Severe
Panic Under High Tariff

There was something quite unique,
when you come TO think of il, in
the recent visit and speeches OF Con-
gresham Slemp and Mr.. Mckinley,
to the town and citizens Of Rich
lands. What about Richlands?
Something like % years ago, Rich
lands was "Iaid out in walk and
square" by large land and i'm
provement company composed, we
believe, almost solely, of Repbuli-
cans, under Republican administra-
tion. Hotels were built, laige bank
building erected, streets graded, wa
ter pipes and bridges, tenement
houses and store all on a scale prom
lsing something great. A large roll
ing mill was erected and put in op-
Grafton, and for time afforded en-
ployment to large number of peo-
pie. The smoke from its tall stacks
hung like fog over the mountains
and valleys. The scream OF it's
whistles was heard for miles. A
glass factory was projected, and la
ter, we believe, baryta mill, and
the county looked on in admiration
and pleasure at the progress and
promise OF the new city on the
Clincn. Behold! When Mr. Siemp
and Mr.. Mckinley spoke in Rich
lands NIL these things had long since
vanished into smoke and thin air
hot air, so TO speak. The roll
ing mill is gone, the glass factory is
gone, the hotel long since vacated
and decaying, the stone bank build
ing and offices converted TO private
uses. The tenement houses vacant or
decayed. The glass factory and barry
ta mill recollection only. Lots
grown up in weeds OIL used for truck
patches, some of them selling as low
as ten dollars, and no sale for them.
All of this under a protective tariff
and Republican administration 1t
was we'll to have a man come from
the faIthest western confines of the
country TO speak at RIchlands, for
he knew nothing OF this history. A
"stanpdatter from near home would
not have had 1.-The face" to stand up
and ask the voters of Richlands TO
continue a policy under which their
pretty little town has been strug-
CLING Intellectually for years. What
argument he used we do not know.
He did not, we venture IN say, refer
10 the facts above mentioned, nor to
the fact that the few laborers, and
the good people OF that community
generally are working for lower
wages and paying double prices for
what they buy; nor to the fact that
Mr.. Slemp worked for bill reduc-
ing the tax on coal, which passd the
house, but had the affIonteIy to ask
the sensible people of Richlands to
continue policy which is making
them poorer every year.
The only tangible and visible
thing which has appeared as an out
come of the Richlands campaign is
a wonderful production from the
Poet Laureate of Richlands, "Stuart
VS.. The Poor" Who has been and Is

He Got The Gold and Something
Else

Charles Ward, a young colored
boy, was arrested here on Tuesday,
for stealing money from q trunk be-
longing to Miss Virginia Ramsey
who is stopping with Mr.. and Mrs.
III. w. Pobst. The boy confessed,
and got part of the money from the
yard where he had hidden 1t.
Miss Ramsey had one hundred
dollars In gold in trunk which was
in an upstairs hallway. The money
was securely packed away in a cor
ner OF the trunk, where 1t had been
for a long time. 1t was a gift to
Miss Ramsey from a dear relative
now dead, and the more highly
prized on that account. The boy had
been employed about the house for
quite while, and was never suspect
ed of wrong doing. One day Miss
Ramsay went out forgetting to lock
the trunk, and then something hap
pcned. When she examined her
purse some days afterwards, eighty
of the one bundled dollars in gold,
and five dollars in .greenback, was
gone glimmering and glittering.
When Charles was confronted
squareIy he owned up, and produced
about S37 90 which he had hidden In
the backyard, The rest OF the gold he
had spent In various ways. 1t seems

tient got well.
There are now on record somewhere
neal hundred cases of surgical op-
erations upon the human heart. and
the death rate, considering the ex-
IRENE gravity of the operation. is
surprisingly low. When 1t is remem.
bered that the heart is practically
in constant motion, that its complete
stoppage means immediate death, and
that the delicate surgical manipula-
tons necessary to repairing its
wounds have to be performed upon
throbbing and more or less inacces-
sible piece of tissue, the manual skill
and GOODNESS demanded of the heart
surgeon will be better appreciated.
