A Bold SWindIeT.

We have just heard of very shrewd
swindle that was perpetrated on some
Of the farmers of Tazewel by sharper
last month. He sent out circulars from
Norfolk, Va, informing persons that
he had gone into the produce business in
that city for twenty days, covering the
holiday period, and informing them that
he would sell produce sent him quickly,
at good prices, and would remit prompt
ly for all consignments sent him. He
signed his name ~. d. Peery, Jr."
This led persons to believe that he was
a Tazewell man, possibly Mr.. John D.
Peery, who has been for some years in
business at Gary, W. Va, as member
of the firm of j. D. Peery & Co. 1t is
thought that a good many persons were
swindled by the rascal, as one or more
have been heard from who suffered at
his hands. The fellow disposed of what
produce was shipped him, pocketed the
money and skipped. One concern has
written to Mr.. John D. Peery about the
matter, and he, of course, wants it to
be known by the public that he does not
know who the swindler is, and is just
as anxious to find the man as any of
those who were defrauded by him.

ture adjourns. 1t is almost certain that
this is to be the case. There is no par
ticular animosity, as the men appointed
have all done good work, but there is
resentment on the part of some of the
districts at the disregard shown them
by the board, and there are those in the
Legislature who have certain instruc-
tions to act when the time is opportune.
"Unfitness and alleged immoral charges
are said to be behind the expected COM
plants. The list of superintendents
was presented to the Senate on the
opening day, and Clerk Booker began
to read the list of appointments when a
motion was made to refer them to the
Committee on Nominations, which was
done. Thus the matter was suddenly
postponed, but not for good, if what
some of the members say proves to be
correct prophecies"

IMPORTANT BILL
introduced in Virginia State Senate BY
Senator Chase,

Senator Roland E. Chase has intro
duced, by request, the following bill
which is intended to unravel the some
what complicated special road laws of
Tazewell county. 1t will be of interest
to the citizens of the county and we,
therefore, publish it in full:
''Be it enacted by the General Assem-
bly, of Virginia, That an act of the Cen
eral Assembly entitled an act to amend

STATE WIDE IN LEGISLATURE.
Bill Allowing People to Vote on Prohibition
May Come I'D This Session,

Richmond, Va, Jan. 18.-''The oues-
tion of passing bill allowing the vot-
ers of the State to vote on the question
of Statewide prohibition will come up
this session, but the Legislature will
not pass such bill this year"
This was the declaration of one of the
law makers today, when the approach
ing session of the Anti-SaIoon League
was discussed along the subject of
legislation. The speaker is a man who
knows the ins and outs of the work to
be done, and he has made a canvass OF
the situation.
The measure is expected to make its
appearance in the House, and there is q
probability of it passing there. But
the measure will not pass the Senate
That is the place where the matter will
hang fire, and it will not get beyond
that body.
The Anti-Saloon League people are
expected to ''look in on the legislators
while at work." and incidentally there
will be deluge of petitions looking tc
having the question submitted, but the
Senators take the position that there
has been no agitation of the issue on its
merits before the people. and that they
propose to accept the declaration of the
league of year ago to stand for local
option.

ELECTION RETURNS
ARE CANYASSED
Legislature Makes Known the Returns From
November Election and Results SHOW
That Judge Mann Ran Far Be-
hind His Ticket.

In a joint session lasting for five hours
the two Houses of the General Assem-
bly, now In session in Richmond met on
last Friday, the 14th, and canvassed the
returns from the cities and counties of
the State in the November election for
the offices of governor, lieutenant gov
ernor, attorney general, secretary of
the commonwealth and State treasurer.
The total number of votes cast for
Judge William Hodges Mann, the Dem
ocratic nominee for governor, was found
to be 70, O,76O, while Captain William P.
Kent, the Republican nominee, poIled
30, 357; giving Judge Mann a plurality
over his opponent of 30,403. This was
smaller majority by several thousand
than that of the other Democratic NOM
lnees, and when compared with the vote
cast for Mr.. Bryan in 1908, shows a fall
ing off in the vote of that partv of
about fifteen per cent.
Ellyson, for lieutenant governor, had
majority of 1921 over Mr.. Lincoln.
his Republican opponent. Judge Will
liams' vote for attorney general ex-
ceeded that of Mr.. Revercomb by
35, ,29O. B. o. James, for secretary of
State, beat John B. Locke, his Republi-
can opponent, by 29,9 1874, while for State
treasurer, Harman, Democrat, defeated
Crupper, Republican, by "a, 7S9.
A curious fact developed in the re-
turns and that was that the counties of
Buchanan and Gloucester failed to make
any report as to the vote for lieutenant
governor. AS Buchanan is Republican
and Gloucester Democratic, the returns
from these counties would not have ma
terially changed the result, but as it is,
the vote for both Ellyson and Lincoln is
about one thousand less than it should
be.

TAZEWELL COUNTY TEACHERS
Hold Successful Meeting in High School
Chapel Last FRIDAY and SATURDAY.

The Tazewell County Teachers AS
sociation held one of the most success
ful meetings in its history here last
week. 1t met at the High School build
ing IN session of two days, Friday and
Saturday, January 14th and 18th. The
meeting was widely attended by teach
ers from all over the county and was
marked by an earnestness and zeal that
augur well for the educational future
OF this section Carefully prepared pa
pers, full of thought and embodying
the experience of their authors, were
read and listened to with close atten-
tion.
Inc meetings were presided over by
the president Of the Association. Prof
L. ). Barns, of Pocahontas, and to this
gentleman IS due in large measure the
success of the meeting. He presided
over the gatherings with skill and abil-
ity and contributed much that was
helpful and valuable to the teachers as
sembled. The arduous duties of secre-
tary were efficiently performed by Miss
Mary Turk in way that brought forth
we'll merited praise.
Interesting reports of the State Edu-
cational Conference, held at Richmond
IN November, were made by the dele
gates who had been sent by the Taze-
well County Association, the reports of
Prof. j. A. Livesay and Miss Ethel
Steger being especially interesting.
We regret that space will not permit
US to reproduce the program, which was
of very interesting nature. The va
rious subjects were discussed in an in
teresting way by the different speak
ers, each of whom performed his or her
part in highly creditable manner.
The night meeting held in the High
School auditorium on Friday evening
was attended by all the teachers and
many of the citizens and ladies of Taze-
well. Inspiring music was rendered on
this occasion by Mr.. Whitman, violin
ist, and Miss Knappenberger, pianist.
The meeting was presided over by Rev.
c. r. Brown in his usual happy manner.
The address of the evening was deliv
cred by Prof. j. S. Thomas, of Rich
mond, State Supervisor of Rural
Schools. Prof. Thomas is a forceful.
fluent speaker and delivered an earnest.
effective speech, which won for him
hearty applause from his hearers. His
speech was a plea for the betterment
of the rural schools of Virginia and he
cited many interesting facts along this
line. 1t was matter of general regret
that Prof. E. E. Worrell, of Roanoke.
State Examiner of Schools, was de-
tanned unavoidably and could not be
present on this occasion.
The Association adjourned Saturday
afternoon after passing a vote of thanks
to the citizens of Tazewell for their
hospitality and to all others who in any
way contributed to the success of the
meeting
The teachers of the several districts
will hold meetings early in March under
the direction of the vice-presidents of
the County Association, and these meet
ings are expected to be productive of
many good results along educational
lines in this county. H.P.C.

CAMPAIGN WILL
BEGIN EARLY.
Democratic Congressional Committee Selects
Bristol as the Place and March tst as
Date for Holding Ninth District Con-
WntiOn-TO Wage Aggressive Fight

That the Democrats are going to
make desperate fight for the recla-
nation of the Ninth District this fall is
evidenced by the early and aggressive
activity on the part of the leaders in
this and other sections of the State.
A meeting of the Democratic Congress
sional Committee for this district was
held in the City of Richmond on last
Saturday, at which were present many
leading Democratrs from throughout
the State, and after going carefully
over the situation as presented in the
Ninth, it was decided that the only hope
OF success lay in early and aggressive
action, and 1t was determined that
convention be called forthwith for the
purpose of nominating a candidate to
oppose Congressman Slemp or whoever
the Republicans may choose to put
forth as their standard bearer. March
the lst was agreed upon as the date
and Bristol City as the place for holding
the convention.
The basis Of representation was fixed
at one delegate for each fifty votes
cast for William ]. Bryan in the Presi-
dental election held ia~19O8 and for
fractions over twenty-five. On this ba-
sis the several cities and counties will
be entitled to delegates as follows:
Bland, z; Bristol City, 8; Buchanan.
8; Dickenson, IL; Giles, Ia; Lee, 16; Pu-
laski, Id; Russell. II; Scott, %; Smyth,
Is; Tazewell, 16; Washington, 81; Wise,
20; Wythe, 10.
The fact that the convention is called
at so early a date is significant of the
fact that the "unterrified" of this dis
trict purpose making the fight of their
lives. Every effort, it would seem, is
to be used to get the full party vote on
the registration list by the free use of
money in the prepayment of poll-taxes.
ETC., and to see that that vote is polled
in November. The leaders in the Ninth
have been promised aid in the way of
speakers and funds for the waging of
redhot warfare by the Democratic hosts
in the eastern part of the State, and, it
"NNN- SN~AAA eAAoS bhtS year Iilc OlU us
trict is to be made the battle ground of
the campaign by the now dominant
party in the State in the hope of check
ing, temporarily, at least, the steady
advance of Republicanism in the old
Commonwealth.
1t is needless to say, however, that
this activity on the part of the enemy
has not caused any chills to chase each
other up and down the Republican spine
in this neck o. the woods. The party
is splendidly organized in every county
in the district, and will hail with icy
this challenge to battle; and it is safe
to say, that no matter how determined
a fight the Democrats make, or VINO
their nominee may be, when the ballots
have been counted and the result an
nounced on the night Of November 9Th
next, it will be found that the old Ninth
has not only stood firm in her devotion
to the principles Of Republicanism, but
that she has forcibly and by an in
creased majority emphasized her loyalty
thereto.

For a number of years Mr.. Hyatt

which he is held by the directors and

Few Chapters OF Dawson
County's Political History.

It might have been conceived BY
the subscribers and others who have
read these chapters, that they would
cease with the forthcoming election,
and that they were simply part Of a
political campaign. IF such is your
idea we will state right here and now
that Cieero's chapters will b.. .contin-
ued until We shall have succeeded in
placing before the voters and taxpay-
ers of our county the true inwardness
Of the political affairs in Dawson
county, the treachery Of the bosses,
their debauchery Of the ballot for
their own ends and the failure Of the
powers that be to safeguard the inte-
rests of Dawson County. When that
is accomplished we shall take a rest
and NEVER BEFORE.
In the state convention Of 1906 to
which Mr.. Leiper and Mr.. Lindsay
were both delegates from Dawson
County, the high priests of that con
vehtion had designated Mr.. Leiper for
temporary chairman of that conven-
ton. This was kept a secret to the
rest of the delegates, until the dele
cation was well on the way to Hele-
"a, when Mr.. Lindsay broached the
subject in way which left no room
for doubt as to his opposition to such
and by clever manipula-
