Look After Automobiles.

Last week there were two narrow es-
capes from being run over by automobiles
on High street. In the first instance a
little girl was knocked down. Luckily
the driver of the machine was not going
fast and had his car under control. Had
an accident occurred the driver would not
have been responsible, as the child ran
from the sidewalk directly In front of the
machine.
The other case was on Saturday even
ing, when little girl ran in front of an
automobile and came close to being hit.
In this case witnesses differ as to the rate
of speed that was being maintained.
One thing is absolutely certain. Auto
mobiles travel up and down High street
at faster pace than is allowed by law
Especially Is this dangerous on Saturday
evening. The street is too narrow at any
time for fast driving, but on Saturday
night, when there are carriages on all
parts of the streets, and trolley cars fire.
quently passing, there is every reason for
slow running.
Last Saturday evening car was run up
and down High street at fast gait. with
out a rear light burning.
OF course the persons driving machines
are not entirely to blame. Children are
allowed to play on the streets, and fire.
quently, during their games, run into the
road regardless of passing teams. 1t is
also very natural for child to rush across
the street without carefully looking. But
even at that, automobiles run too fast on
our principal street.
Something should be done to abate this
habit. 1t is all right to have policeman
stand on the corner and impressiyelY raise
his finger as an automobile slides past
him, the occupants laughing at the ease
with which they got away from the law.
Not very long since driver was held up.
and complaint entered against him, but
that appears to have been the last of it.
A wholesome fine would have beneficial
effect. Something should be done to pro-
tect the lives of those who are In danger
of being run down by persons who seem
to think they have right to break speed
laws with impunity.
After all the efforts made by the law:
making powers of this and other states to
regulate the speed of automobiles. lawless
drivers are sending them over the high
ways In defiance of the statutes and an
nually killing human beings in increasing
numbers.
The most regrettable part of the situa.
ton is that not In single instance, does
the guilty driver of the machine receive
the punishment he ought to haYe.
Automobiles complain bitterly of the
prejudice against them, but they are alone
responsible for 1t because of their indiffer-
ence to the laws that have been enacted
with the purpose of protecting pedestri-
ans and drivers of horse-drawn vehicles
against injury and death at the hands of
reckless automobiles.

NOTES.
Well, Mount Holly won the first game.
That is something.
Spring Garden made but one hit Mount
Holly got eight.
The Mount Holly pitcher had 10 strike
outs. Spring Garden had two.
Next Saturday, Beverly at Mount
Holly; Medford at Burlington; Riverside
at Florence.
Beverly defeated Florence. Beverly
will play here next Saturday. Look out
for something doing.
The quick throw of Hubbs to first when
occupied by runner was very effective.
He got two men that way.
Kennel, first base, is good player. but
there are some fine points in the game
that he may learn to advantage.
Whitley Schoenut did not play on Sat-
urday. He will make the tenth man on
the team. His headwork and instructions
to the players were very beneficial.
Hubbs, Riverside's pitcher, has his old
trick of quickly pitching ball when the
batter is not looking. In one instance, on
Saturday, his delivery was decidedly H.
legal, but the umpire did not apparently
notice the play.
Hubbs tried his quick return ball on
Saturday. In two instances the batters
fooled him by being ready and hit the
ball. One Of the men got to first and
Silcox would have reached that bag safely
had he been able to run.
Fryer Is good catcher. He had some
difficulty in holding all the balls, but that
was due more tothe fact that his glove was
new than to any other cause. Nothing he
did, however, resulted In causing him to
be charged with an error.
Some Burlington gentlemen who came
over to witness the game here, were not
very enthusiastic about the Burlington
team. Just the same 1t made out well at
Medford, and the home team was unable
to get more than three hits.
OiACOA Woc III uuC SudpC Ou SATURDAY.
He struck IL men out. He retired the
side on strikes in the third inning. He
made record in another point. as he did
not send a man to first on pass-proba-
bly, the first time this happened since he
began pitching.
E. H. Copper, from Florence, was the
umpire, and his decisions were prompt
and correct. He made one mistake. Hubs
was batting left handed and turned to
change his position. The claim was that
he was out, but the umpire said no. Sc
far he was right, but while discussion was
going on Hubbs again changed. In the
first instance the pitcher was not In posi-
tion. In the next he was and that made
the batter out, but the umpire got mixed,
as he acknowledged later.

THE
MANN INDICATOR co.

is installing its automatic indica-
tors in the cars of the Burlington
County Traction Company. These
indicators show the next stop to
be made by the car, so that travel
ers always know where to alight.
The cut shown herewith will ex-
plain the idea of the machine.
These indicators are being
placed in the cars OF many of the
trolley companies in the country,
and are popular wherever used.
An advertisement is shown each
time in connection with the name
of the stopping point, making a
novel and attractive advertising
scheme. The revenue derived by
the Indicator Company for these
advertisements is enormous.
The Company endeavors to
place in each community where
the indicators are used, an allot-
ment Of its capital stock. There
is but one kind of stock issued,
namely common; no preferred, no
bonds. The stock is selling al
par, $40 per share. Persons de-
string a good investment in a legit-
innate enterprise are invited tc
investigate this company.

Virginia Debt Case.

Tn" legal represents Of the s ate
of West Virginia have brn nolding
conferences, chiefly in New York City.
with the view to asking the Supreme
Court of the United States 10 reconside -
its findings in the Virginia West Vir
ginia debt case
One of the points that will be urged.
1T is understood, is that the court. in
selecting a ratio for the apportionment
Of the debt existing January l, 1861.
should have taken the valuation of
property in the two States on that date
rather than on June 20. 1868. the date
of West Virgiuia's admission into the
union. By taking the lgtter date the
court gave Virginia the advantage of
the depreciation of property resulting
from the war between the States. l.
will be urged also that the court erred
in excluding the valuation of slaves
from the property list on the theory
that slaves were recognized universally
in Virginia as property in 1861.

COKE OVEN
FIRES ARE LIGHTED.
The Gloom Which For a Tine Hung Over
POGahOntas Coal Field Rapidly DisaE-
pearing And Miners Are in Demand.

On last Monday the United States
Coal and Coke Company started 70 fire
up its coke ovens at plants Nos. 8. 6 and
8 at Gary, W. Va. This means that
$50 ovens will be put in blast at once
ard others will be fired up as fast So
they can be gotten into shape. The
work will take in the neighborhood Of
z or 3 weeks before everything will
be IN shape for a good showing in out
put. The coke from these ovens will
be shipped to Chicago In addition 10
TINS a largely increased tonnage of coal
will be shipped to Joliet. ILL.,, where it
Will be used in by-product ovens and
this week seventy of the new by-pro-
duct ovens at Gary, Ind, will be started
up and additional tonnage will be ship
ped to that point.
In the course of a month the COM
pany will be shipping an enormous
amount of coal and coke, which tonnage
will be increased monthly until the first
Of January, 1912.
1t has been known that the company
planned to largely increase its coal out
put which is to be shipped to Joliet and
Gary, but the order for the starting up
OF the coke ovens came as a surprise.
especially as 1t was understood this ac-
tion would not be taken while the ovens
IN the Pennsylvania field were blown
out. Some weeks ago the company
was instructed to increase its coal ont
put at the rate of LOCO tons per month
until the first of January, 1912. but
later orders will increase this tonnage
considerably and it is likely that the
total output for 1911 will be greater
than in 1910
The company has secured a large
number of men but is still in the mar
ket for more and needs them at once.
Homes and boarding houses can be pro-
vided at once for men APPLYING for
work and they need suffer no iuconven-
ience on this account.
The surprise which the news of the
starting up of the coke ovens at Gary
gave prepared the people for the de-
mand of the Empire Cal Land Asso-
citation at Seaboard for $50 men. This
company mines coal and manufactures
coke and for considerable time there
nave been in circulation a number of
rumors regarding a change in owner
ship. 1t was stated that George L.
Carter is to become a controlling factor
IN the company. II would appear
from the sudden demand for men that
the deal has been carried through as
the company Is now in the market for
$50 men which it wants - its CKnch
Valley mines at once.

DOUBLE TRAGEDY
SHOCKS COUNTY.
Two Men Killed Outright and Third Dan
gercuS'y Wounded In Gun Battle in The
Cove Late Tuesday Afternoon.

One of the worst tragedies that has
happened in Tszewell county in many
years occurred on last Tuesday evening
at the head of the Cove, when Bob Les
ter and Luther Lowe were shot and
killed and Henry Lowe seriously injured.
The circumstances leading up to the
killing were, as shown at the prelimi-
nary on yesterday. as follows:
Ben H. Lester had been On a visit to
Bristol, and was returning on horseback
across the country. His father, Henry
Lester, had gone to the head of the
Cove to meet him. AS they were pass
ing the home of Rob Lester, a cousin of
Henry's, the latter was shooting bis
gun and otherwise making a disturb
ance. Bob Lester called to them that
he would have them indicted for shoot
ing on the highway. At this Henry
Lester turned and rode into the feed
lot in frontof Bob Lester's house, where
bitter quarrel ensued. Hearing this.
Luther Lowe, a nephew of Bob Lester.
came out of the house with a revolver
in his hand. Seeing this, Ben Lester.
who had secured the shot gun from his
father, shot Lowe, who in turn fired
and hit Henry Les or 10 the breast
Bob Lester then pulled his revolver.
which was afterwards found not to have
been loaded, and young Ben Lester
then shot him.
When the smoke of the battle cleared
1t was found that Bob Lester ard
Luther Low were dead and Henry Les
ter dangerously. although now thought.
not fatally wounded.

Educators Meet.

The Conference for Secondary Schools
and Colleges for counties between Roa-
noke city and Bristol convened in Wythe-
vile on last Friday morning with more
than hundred teachers present. The
meeting was considered one of the most
successful educational gatherings ever
held in this part of the State. One of
the characteristics of the conference
was the earnestness and enthusiasm of
those taking part in the discussions.
Soon after the meeting was called to
order Examiner f. f Worrell intro
duced Mr.. j. H. Binford, secretary of
the Virginia Cooperative Association,
who made very strong appeal for our
present teachers pension law. He
showed that the teachers pension fund,
consisting Of the $1,000 appropriated by
the State and the $50, 900 deducted from
the teachers salaries, was inadequate.
He estimated that the permanent roll
of pensioners would be about 400, which
would demand fund of $50, 600; and ad-
vocated cooperation on the part Of the
teachers in getting the legislature grad
ually to increase the State appropriation
from S5. 900 to $50, 600. MIR. Binford's
speech resulted in the conference pass
ing the following resolutions:
eve, the teachers of the Southwest
Virg n i a Association of Secondary
Schools and Colleges, approve our pres
ent teachers pension fund, and request
our legislature to make a larger appro-
priation for pensions. We further re-
quest the teachers of the State to con-
tinue to support the law of deducting
one per cent from their salaries until
the State can see its way clearly to
make the entire appropriation"
The afternoon session was devoted to
discussing School Improvement Leagues
1t was shown that they are being or
ganized in all parts of the State and
that they are supplementing the work
of the schools materially.
The Friday night session was con-
somed in a discussion of content and
method in English, History, Latin.
Mathematics and Science.
The Saturday morning session was
taken up largely in hearing reports from
committees.
A list Of regulations for the discipline
of schools prepared by Examiner Wor-
rell and the secretary, F. b. Fitzpst-
rick, were adopted by the conference
after some modification by the commit
tee ard recommended TO the superin-
tendents and school boards for their
adoption and use. In this connection
printed form for the classification of
pupils was approved and recommended
for use throughout this cir~uit.
1t can be truly said that the meeting
was business conference, in which
much was accomplished for the enlarge
ment and efficiency of school work

Miss ROrie HOge Bruce, Of BluefieId, Vic
tim Of Brutal AitaCk--ASSdiIant Brought
TO TdzeWeI Jail For Safekeeping.

On yesterday morning about l O'Clock
a posse from Bluefield brought a negro
known as John Gay, or at times, as
John Bull, to this city and lodged him in
Jail for safekeepiug.
Gray, as he is generally known, is
charged with beating ard yobbing Miss
Roxie Hoge Bruce, the stenogrspher

manded the firms money The badly
frightened young woman endeavored to
phone for assistance, and to prevent
this, the negro choked and beat her
severely and after knocking her down
hioked her almost into insensibility,
robbed her of small amount of money
and ring then made his escape.
Through Miss Bruce's phone message
alarm was given and the police at once
started q drag net search of the sur
rounding section which resulted in the
arrest of Gray at Graham late Tuesday
night Fearing mob violence if taken
to Bluefeld, the officers having the pris-
oner in charge arranged to be allowed
to bring him TO Tazewell on a freight
train, which was done.
Gray stoutly declares his innocence,
and says ne can prove an alibi by the
employees on the extra force gang
working at Graham. He will be held
however until Miss Bruce RECEIVERS from
the attack TO which she was subjected.
when be will be taken before her for
