Dear Sir-I have read an article in
the Clinch Valley News of October 13,
1911, written by Mr.. W. P. Payne, in
which article he says that am bank
er and millionaire. My opponent is
very much mistaken. / am not bank
er, and lack considerably over nine hun
dred and fifty thousand ($950, ,O00) dol
lars of being a millionaire.
Concerning the hospitality of our
homes, the people can settle that and
be their own judges.
The paragraph concerning lying and
failing to pay what has been promised
might be misleading to people that do
not know me. / will say that always
try to meet my promises faithfully in
every respect.
The paragraph about confederate SOL
diers is one that very greatly concerns
me, for there is no body of men on God s
green earth that gets deeper into my
heart than the grand old veterans, for
1 was one of them with six other broth
ers, all Of whom, except two of us,
have answered the tap and roll-call be-
yond the mystic river and are enjoying
the fellowship of their former comrades
In arms. So anything that / can do tc
increase the comfort and happiness OF
these grand old veterans and brothers
will be cheerfully done.
l am anxious for both counties to
have each representative in the House
of Delegates.
l earnestly solicit the support of all
voters, and especially the old veterans,
in the coming election.
Respectfully,
SAMUEL P. MUSTARD.

A Statement BY The Board of Supervisors.


A great many statements are being
made as to the fees to be paid to the
lawyers who have been employed by the
Board of Supervisors in connection with
the work relative to our bond issue. not
a single one of which, so far as we
know, has any foundation of fact.
therefore, we feel impelled to make a
statement of what has actually occur
red. feeling as we do that it is both due
the public and and also the board that
nothing be kept back.
In the first place it has certainly not
been the intention of the Board of Su
pervisors, as a whole, or as individuals.
to do anything except what was for the
best interest of Tazewell county, nor
has 1T been the intention of the board
to do anything in secret, or to fail to
fully disclose any and all its actions
with reference to our bond issue and
all other public matters.
When Messrs. Geo. w. st. Clair and
L. c. Bowen were employed as finan-
cial agents, the chairman of the board
asked them to fix their fee which they
did not do, giving as a reason for not
doing SO, that no one could at that time
foresee how much work would necessa-
rily haye to be done before the ultimate
conclusion of all matters pertaining to
the sale of the bonds, but Mr.. st. Clair
assured the board that their charges
would be reasonable, and also said that
If the board elected to do so it could fix
the fee and he and MIR. Bowen would
accept it 1t is false that one member
of the board suggested fee of So. 900 90
which was turned down by the other
two members. No statement could be
wider of the truth.
The action in the circuit court to test
certain legal questions raised by John
ID. Nuveen & Co., was brought by two
members of the board in the absence of
the chairman, but in which he concurs.
1t was necessary to do this as the cir
cult court was getting near adjourn
ment, and to have failed to have brought
this action at the time it was brought
would have been to have left the oues-
tions raised by Nuveen & Co. unsettled
indefinitely, aad the Board of Supervis-
ors with $625. 600 90 of Tazewell county
bonds, all unsold, and the same being
denominated and and valued by prospec-
tive purchasers as District Bonds"
The only apology the board has to Of
for its action in this particular, is the
very able opinion Of our circuit court.
AS to Judge S. C. Graham's fee for
services in connection with the suit in
the circuit court, it has been fixed at
$4,000.
1t is due all the lawyers who have had
any connection with these matters that
the board say on their behalf, they have
been untiring in their efforts to see that
Tazewen county gets the very best pos
sible results from a sale of it's bonds,
and that they have been impelled more
by public spirit than by any fee antici-
pated.

The Musical Club has decided to have
an open session in the High School
Chapel on the first Friday evening of
every month.
The Club meets every two weeks, and
the plan is to give at each of these open
sessions the best of two of their pro-
grams, with assistance at times, from
visitors and the school children.
Admittance will be only 20 cents, and
as the money goes towards paying for
the beautiful grand piano recently in
stalled, it is to be hoped that large
crowd will greet the Club at each of
these meetings.
This piano is credit to the town. 1t
is used by the school as well as the club,
and on occasions, can be enjoyed by the
entire town.
The first open session, with Schu-
bert program, will be held on Friday
evening, November 3rd, beginning at 8
o'clock.
% Get the habit of going once a month
to hear some good music.

A little nervous collaboration was
caused on the streets late Monday
afternoon by a setto between Judee
raul b. Johnson, of the circuit court
and Captain c. w. Rich. mayor of
Hattiesburg.
Judge Johnson was standing in
'front.' OF O'Ferrall's store on Front

made some remarks in reference to
alleged statements of Judge johnson
about him. A few words were passed.
when the mayor struck out from the
shoulder, landing on the Judges
breast; the judge saw an opening-the
mayors eye, and it is said, closed it.
They then clinched, after the approved
fashion, and held each other in vice
like grip until separated by by-stand-
ers.
1t is hoped by all their mutual
friends that one bout will satisfy them
both,

VAST PROGRESS
BY STATE ROAD
The Yazoo G. Mississippi Valley
Railroad Leading All Roads in the
State in Earnings, Etc.

Jackson, Miss. May 10.-The vast
progress that the Yazoo & Mississippi
Valley railroad has made during the
past year is clearly evidenced in the
quarterly report of earnings, filed
this morning in the office of the Mis-
sissippi railroad commission.
Quarterly reports of other roads
operating in the state have shown a
deficit of thousands of dollars when
compared with the report for the cor
responding quarter of 1910. The
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley road not
only shows an expenditure in improve
ments greater than on any other line
thus far reported, but shows an in
crease in net operating revenues Of
over fifty per cent
The total operating revenues for
the quarter were $2,S6S,379.41 and the
total operating expenses $1,959, 1924,
thereby effecting net operating reve-
nue. for the quarter of $9091S2.17.
In 1910 this figure was only 1856, 452.-
6S, and the mathematical comparison
shows an increase of $322,729.49 in
actual net revenues for the quarter.
The Illinois Central system
has also filed it's report for
the Mississippi portion of the
division south of Cairo, ILL.,,
and the road, like it's offspring, shows
a substantial increase. The total reve-
nues for the quarter were $6,25O, 42O.-

only 81, 7SS.S24.S7-S75,731.17 less.
These increases are quite phenome-
nal, according to the commissioners,
and are ample proof that the passen-

ries. 1t is expected that the reS3t

of the crop diversiication really ~
gins to make itself felt, will be even
more astonishing, There is bound to
be increased freight traffic as the
crops are handled. and Mississippi's

Hines WANTED;
ELUDES AGENTS
OF GOVERNMENT
Alleged Alliance Between Lumber In
terests And Tugboat Trust Is
Under Investigation.

Chicago, ILL.,, May 1O.-Edward
Hines, wealthy lumberman, whose
name has been conspicuous In the in
vestigations of the senatorial scandal,
eluded government agents when they
sought him to appear and testify be-
fore B. G. Miller, special examiner, as
to what he knows of an alliance be-
tween lumber interests and the Great
Lakes Towing Company. Business
associates said Mr.. Hines was out of
the city.
The government is proceeding
against the so-called tugboat trust I'M
der the Sherman antitrust laws. Lum-
bermen, steamboat owners, captains
and grain men have been subpoenaed
to testify before the examiner in Chi
cago.
Captain Walter D. Hamilton, of the
Hines Lumber Company, who is cred
tied with having been instrumental in
obtaining control for the "tug trust"
of the towing business on the great
lakes in 1903, was one of the principal
witnesses yesterday.
Prior to 1908 the Independent tow
ing companies came in for share of
the lumber, grain and coal towing bus
mess. In 1903 the Lumber Carriers
Association, with Hamilton at its
head, dealt with representatives of
the newly-organized towing trust"
represented by Harry Colby, now pres
ident of the Pittsburg Steamship Com
pany. A contract was drawn I'D for
five years. This, the government is
seeking to show, resulted in wiping
out the Independent concerns. Pay
ment Of rebate to those signing con-
tracts will be shown, it is said. Cap
tain Hamilton, on the witness stand.
acknowledged that the Hines Company
was benefited by the contract. He
declared, however, that the action of
the committee was in no wise binding
on the lumber companies.
Miles e. Barry testified that a COM
mittee of tug men offered him SITS. 600
worth of stock in the trust" for the
property of a concert controlled by
himself and his brother. In 1899 he
sold out and received but $4,000 in
cash, and sold the stock for 70 cents
on the dollars.
Louis Holman lake tug captain.
iii Sunnyside avenue, told of his I'D
nil fight against the trust"
ut was impossible to get q contract
OF any size after the combination was
formed" he said.
Captain Charles A. McCarle testified
that the tug trust" when the tugmen
struck in 1902, offered him $4,000 to
! allow their tugmen to remain at work.
He was the president of the Lake Tug
mems Protective Association.
1 was called to the Great Lakes
ornce at Cleveland" he said. "and
there introduced to T. F. Newman. the
president. He offered me $4,000 If 7
would allow the twenty-nine tugmen
to remain at work."
Captain McCarle said he refused the
offer.
Donald McKinnon, a lumber vessel
owner, testified that he was forced to
pay the trust" for two tugs services,
Notwithstanding that but one was fur
nished him, and when he attempted to
hlre but one tug he said the harbor
master ordered the bridges closed.
