should be allowed to dictate to the 35O.-

The only difference of opinion that
exists among our people on the subject
OF Statewide is that some want it quick
ano the others want it double-quick.
A careful compilation of the opinions
OF leading men from the several coun-
ties of the Southwest district show a
probable majority for Statewide of
Ia, 500 votes. And this estimate is re-
enforced by thousands of signatures to
our petitions, secured within the last
ten days.
Because of its corrupting influence in
politics, its ruthless disregard of the
rights of others, its studied violation of
the law, as well as for the protection of
our homes for the love of God and ma

Pure "0ld Corn" for Sale.

A story Is going the rounds to the eff

In" by North Carolinan. who adyer-
tlsed to send out as a special holiday
bargain zone gallon of pure North Car
DINA corn in jugs for $1.1O" Many
people bit at the proposition. Thew
could hardly realize how any concern
could afford to sell corn whiskey for lust
what Uncle Sam requires as a revenue
tax. Nevertheless, that end of the
proposition did not concern them. Or
ders rolled in by the hundreds and were
filled as they were received. and in
strict accordance with the specifications
IN the advertisement. Instead of the
purchasers who sent their good money
for this erstwhile leading product" of
the Old North State getting a Jug of
corn liquor, as expected, the express
companies throughout the country de-
livered to them gallon jugs filled with
shelled corn.
1t Is understood that the party who
worked the scheme made all the ship
ments at once and then "shelled'' out
from his former place of business. This
was before any of the customers re-
csivcd their shipments. 1t is impossi-
BILE to learn the names of the parties in
Roanoke who "bit'' at the scheme and
ponied up for shelled corn at the rate of
$3.50 cents per bushel besides paying
the express. They are not anxious to

TO the front, attracting hundreds Of
millions of capital for investment and
great hordes of the choicest immigrants
for the settlement of its great rich
prsiries.
Under the skillful administration of
Mr.. Charlton the advertising depart
ment of his rsi.road has grown from >

become essential to the conduct of tn.

first went with the Grand Trunk its an
priation for put LEFTY was rot more thai
few thousands of dollars a year; now
the appropriation runs up into the hun
dreds of thousands. VII. n he took hold.
the work of publicity consisted chi, fly
in trading transportation to countr,
newspapers for printing time cards. and
the like; now it involves great educa-
tional campaigns, both in the United
States and in Europe, not exploiting
the Grand Trunk railway, but Canada
and its resources, and directing atten-
ton to that country as a good field for
investment. In pursuit Of this policy,
tons of finely printed and illustrated
pamphlets and books have been distrib-
uted; great exhibits have been main
tanned at expositions the world around.
exhibit cars have heen sent travelling
thousands of miles; permanent displays
of Canada's products have been estab-
lished in the important cities of North
America and Europe; moving picture
films have been taken ard sent abroad:
scores of special tonr4 carrying news

from both England and the United

country.

GET RID OF THEM.

We notice that Mr.. Spessard, the
Democratic representative from Craig
county, has introduced a bill in the
House of Delegates to reduce the fees
of Examiners of Records one-half.
When ne introduced the till he stated
that some of the examiners get as much
as 81, 600 year for the very small ser
vices they perform, and that the State
paid the examiners last year so, 900.
The thing to do is to abolish these Of
fees entirely. Governor Montague, in
his last message to the General Assem-
bly,, recommended their abolition, and
declared that it was a waste of the pub
lie revenues to have these examiners.
when the work they do can be perform
ed by the Commissioners of Revenue
The examiners make lists of court funds
and turn them over to the Commission
ers Of Revenue, who get their usual
fees for the work. Thus, the Common
wealth has to pay double fees.
The Office of Examiner of Records
was created to give places to hungry
partisans, and the Legislature will fail
to perform its duty fit does not abolish
the Office.

An unusual amount of investigation
is going on and the people are going to
know the whole truth about many sub
jects in which they are deeply interest
ed. Besides these Investigations bv
Congressional Committees, the Depart
ment of Justice, under the direction of
the President, is vigorously prosecuting
every individual or group of individuals
operating in any way illegally against
the Government or the people. No
honest man nor honest industrial con-
Germ, however, need have any fear of
being interfered with in the conduct of
business. The Republican party is a
party that builds up, not tears down, a
constructive, not a destructive party.
and we can all, without reserve, follow
President Taft in his efforts to promote
justice and progress. This is the senti-
ment of the Republican Congressional
Committee which has just been elected
and which proposes to conduct an hon.
est, earnt st party campaign on the lines
Of straight Republicanism and the prin-
ciples advocated by that party and its
leaders.

CARD
Respectfully,
w. G. O'BRIEN.

1t will be seen from the salutatory
published above that I have sold the
Tazewell Republican to Mr.. w. C.
O'Brien. After owning and controlling
this paper for thirteen and half years.
it was with sorrow 1 parted with It.
The clientele it had been serving has
been so steadfast in its friendship that
it has become very dear to me. In the
many years of its editorial conduct, no
doubt, through great zeal for the prin-
ciples l espoused, mistakes have been
made. Such mistakes have been occa-
stoned through desire to iDjure no man.
In the discussion of men and measures
1t has always been my purpose to be
fair, and when severely critical to
speak from the record. Inow sincerely
declare that my work has not been
built upon hatred for any man, no mat
ter what his political opinions. "Do
right and fear no man." has been nv
motto as a newspaper man.
With afectionate regard for the
many friends who have stood by me in
my ardoous work, and with good win
for all, Tow turn the Tazewell Repub.
lican over to Mr. O'Brien. He is a
gentleman worthy of the esteem of all
men, and bespeak for him the cordial
support of all the former friends and
patrons of the Republican.

A reverse for the Republicans for
Congress this year would make the out
look for President ard Congress two
years hence dark. Here are the rea-
sons why the Presi lent and the Republi-
can leaders in the Senate and House are
asking unity in their party. The party
is greater than any of its members, in

wrangles between them be dropped, and
that they unite in pushing Republican

have purchased from Mr.. VIM. c.
Pendleton the Tazewell Republican and
assumed charge of the paper on the Is,
instant. This paper has for nearly
twenty years been published at Taze-
well, and for over thirteen years under
the management of Mr.. Pendleton.
That the Republican has heretofore oc-
cupied an honorable, useful and influen-
tial position among the weekly news
papers of Virginia is not to be denied.
1t will be my honest endeavor to follow
the course pursued by my predecessor
In an earnest effort to make the paper
so clean as to be worthy of introduction
into any home.
In politics the paper will remain as it
has heretofore been-Republican. But
In the espousal of the principles of the
Republican party it is my purpose to see
that no man of any party is done an in
justice.
OF course the primary policy of the
paper will be the advancement of the
material, social and moral interests of
the town and county Of Tazewen.
By birth am stranger to the peo-
pie of the town and county, but fifteen
years ago it was my good fortune to be-
come connected with one of the families
Of the county whose ancestors heIped 10
drive the red man from its fertile val
leys, and whose descendants and rela-
tlves are now here by the hundreds.
With such associations l coulI not fail
to become deeply attached to this beau
tiful land and its good people. This is
why have determined to abandon an
other field of labor and cast nv fortunes
with the people of Tazewen. With their
kindly support and generous patronage
accorded, I shall confidently look for
success and contentment in The new
work which have undertaken.
Mr.. Pendleton has agreed to remain q
contributor to the paper so far as his
other duties will admit. The trenchant
editorials that have been a feature of
the Republican will be continued.
In conclusion will say that it will be
my ambition to make the Republican a
bright, clean, readable and newsy pa
per and worthy the support of all the
people of the county.
Respectfully,
w. G. O'BRIEN.

The conservative thinking people of
