Simple Rot

The Marion News is chasing rain
bows.
That paper, one of the SIemp tin
horns, says this week: "lt is anus
ing to read the editorials OF the Eas-
tern Virginia press or the 'Insur-
Dispatch says: "All hail to the pro-
gressive Republicans of the Ninth. ;"
So say we. They are all progressive,
and on the eighth of next November
will support Bascom Slemp TO a
man. If by Insurgents you mean
kickers or anti.Slemp Republicans,
they are not in the Ninth District in
sufficient numbers to be recognized.
If you will take the pains, you can,
no doubt, find more. anti-Stuart
Democrats than you can find anti
Slemp Republicans. -
Such statement as this belongs
to the comic page, not to columns
that are supposed tor impart infor-
nation.
1t is fact, undeniable and incon-
trovertible, that there are great
many Republicans who are going to
vote for Stuart. They will not" "swal-
wol' man who supported Cannon

the harpies who are preying upon
the liberty and rights of the people.
1t is not a fact that there are Dem
ocrats in the Ninth who will not
support Henry Stuart. There is no
evidence TO bolster up such an aIlega
tion as that. The Marion News
knows that such a statement is q
fabrication, manufactured by Ii In
its blind desire to say. what it can
against Stuat.
Any man who says that there are
Democrats who will not support
Stuart is circulating simple rot.
With solid Democracy behind

Chicken Thieves Caught

Two young white men, were tried
before III. G. Peery, at North Taze-
well, day or two ago, for stealing
chickens, and given six months each
in Jail. The men were convicted
upon their own testimony. In en-
deavoring TO eXtricate themselves
they told all sorts of conflicting, un-
reasonable tales, which clearly prove
their guilt. Mr.. S. G.. Peery and
Others in the community, were the
victims. They have been losing
chickens all the summer, but were
unable to get up with the thieves
until this arrest.
The boys were arrested on the
street in this town by Sergeant Ha-
gy. They came here to get.a check
cashed given by the Tazewell Pro-
duce Company, of $500 paid them
for IL fine chickens. Suspicion was
aroused, and payment of the check
stopped and Hagy notified TO arrest
the boys, which he did, taking them
to Norh TazeweII, where they were
tried, as above stated.
These young men have been beat
ing around in the county, it is said,
for several years, with no fixed en-
ployment. Not much seems to be
known of them here. 1t may be tha
the rats have been charged with a
good deal OF chicken stealing which
they did not do.

RED PEOPLE RETIRE.
Indians Leaving Reservations Soon
to Be Opened to Settlement.

Spokane, Wash, June 3.-Indians
are rounding up their horses on the
Spokane reservations, northwest. Of
here, preparatory to the coming of the
white settlers, who were successful
in Uncle Sans lottery for home
steads last August. Among the horses
corralled during the last few days are
many with several brands unknown
on the reserve; also lot of nave
ricks, which will be. branded and
taken by the redmen unless the own
ers appear before the close OF the
roundup and claim their stock. 1t is
believed the animals strayed from
pastures in Ferry Stevens and adjoin-
ing counties on the border. The
roundup is a month earlier than
usual and the horses are not in the
best Of condition. However, the bid
ding by dealers from Spokane and
other points is brisk and this COM
petition will result in the Indians
receiving good prices for their cay
use. Captain John McA. Webster,
Indian agent on the reserve, says the
Indians have plenty of money, $780,
90 being disbursed among them by
the Indians department during the
last five days.

Asheville Dry.

Asheville, N. c., June 4.-Panic
stricken by the action of the local
board of aldermen which last night
placed the annual tax for NEAR beer
licenses at $1,000, thirty-two "soft
drink" emporium closed their doors
to-day, in the hope that the city IA
theirs will relent and restore the for
mer tax of $3.50, or that the summer
influx of thirsty souls will be such as
to warrant later acquiescence in the
new enactment.
The action of the board was the
outcome of strenuous agitation
against the "near beer saloons, in
which the w. G. T. u, and Judge j.
C. Pritchard, of the United States
circuit court, took a part. 1t was
argued that the low license tax OF
$3.50 had resulted in an alarming
growth of undesirable NEAR beer
establishments where the State pro-
hibition law was being secretly vio-
lated.
Many of the ssoft drink" men de-
clare that the profit on near beer is
so small that the payment of the
thousand dollar tax would be prac-
tically impossible.

bell, the JOY bell of Old Johns heart.
1t was being placed by 2 force OF
hands. Things seemed 10 move Nigh
ty, slow, at least to Daddy JCan. "Is
you niggers gwine ter git it up by
League night (Tuesday)? Is you
gwine ter git it up by prayer meet
ing night? Well is yer gwine to
have her up fer Sunday?" All OF
these questions were in Johns heart
and head whether they had outward
expression or not. Well the bell was
raised and some of the workmen tried
it, Just to see if it would work; John
will probably never get over that; he
wanted to be the first one and the
only one to pull that bell. But the
sweet tones emanating from the
church tower, was a great consola-
ton to him; just to hear that sound
from the steeple, his steeple,
that was worth seven years of
waiting. For John the JOY of the
bell; the long walk with the bell; the
long walk Mr.. Holmes tells us about;
the walk which knows no ending;
the lane without a turning; John
and the bell for a long pull and pull
altogether. And of course you have
heard the bell; Daddy John has al
ready learned to be as faithful
to the new as to the old, and
the; intermittent ringing last week,
which was just for trial or
course, reminded one of that lit
tie story of Poe's in which the
quaint little village of Vonderveit-
timeittis was rudely awakened by the
Devil in the Belfry. If you have not
read that story, get it and read it, 1t
will repay you and you can then get
a good understanding of why Daddy
John has been a regular Devil in the
Belfry; he has upset time and per-
haps disturbed the tides by his ever
lasting pulling and ringing. Or
course the bell was new to him; it
was new to you and to me, so Old
Daddy John is forgiven this time be-
cause of his 27 years of faithful
ness, his seven years of enforced es-
trangement from the bell, and with
the final hope that he will for many
years more pull the bell with his
old-time love and devotion and that
it may be many years before some
one will have to toll bell for him.

INDUSTRIAL EDITION.

The Herald is making preparations
to issue an industrial edition, which
will give in comprehensive form facts
about Bamberg county and its sew
eral towns which should be of mater
ial benefit to all our people. The
edition will be in magazine form,
printed on fine book paper, liberally
interspersed with nice half tone
cuts, and we propose to make it a
creditable publication. AS we have
Just installed a fine Miehle press,
we feel that we can do as nice a job
as can be done anywhere, and we
shall not slight this industrial edit
ion.
It is our idea to enlist the help of
everybody in this work, and to that
end we shall call on our friends in
different parts of the county for art
icles for the edition. Of course we
shall need financial assistance, for
we cannot bear the expense of pub
fishing this edition alone. Therefore
we shall ask every business man in
the county to help in the work, either
by advertising or by inserting cut
and write-up. Our solicitor will call
on you in due time. 1t is lot OF
hard work we have. laid out for our
selves, and we do not expect the
scheme to be paying one. If we get
expenses out of it we shall be satis-
fed. Either the editor or solicitor
will visit Denmark, Olar, and Ehr-
hardt for the purpose of securing
data as to those towns and enlist
ing the cooperation of the busi-
ness men and citizens generally. II
you have nice residence, we will be
glad to print cut of it. 1t may not be
possible for us to call on everybody,
so we hope you will write us if you
want to be represented in the edition.
Now if everybody will just cooper
ate with US, we shall publish some
thing of which every citizen in the
county can be proud. Our plans for
your help will be explained when we
call.
