Dorman. Howard and Ambrose were
charged with neglect of duty and in
efficiency. William j. Plunkett. captain

The Ford on Dry Fork

The mountain fastnesses of Taze-
well, thought to be impossible, have
been invaded, and the honk honk |!
of the auto and the smell of gasoline
is pervading every section of the
county. DR.. Melvin Crockett, with
his Ford car, penetrated the wilds of
Dry Fork Monday, and gave the citi-
zens of that community the first sight
of modern touring car. DR.. Crock
ett's car showed the effects of the
mud and rocky road, but was not
damaged. He stated that in some
places sticks, saplings, etc., had been
placed in the road to keep the We
hicles from skidding" over the
precipices into the chasms below.
Bane Peery, who went with DR..
Crockett, said the road was so crook
ed in some places that they met
themselves coming back. The whole
community turned out to see the auto.

The Greatest of Them All

Rev. Mr.. Kahle, finance secretary
of the Cbildrens Home Society, of
Richmond. was here during the Meth
odist Conference, and made an impress
sive address, setting out the work
and needs of this great institution.
He preached fine sermon on Sunday.
The work done by the Childrens
Home Society commends itself to
everybody. Placing orphans and help
less children in good, christian homes,
where they will be educated and
cared for, is work which far ex-
ceeds in value that done by the Or
phan Asylum, and at far less cost
Mr.. Kahle said that the children
cared for by the Home Society cost
about $500 each, on an average.
Orphan Asylums run up into the hun
dreds. Tazewell has furnished about
40 children to this society, all now in
nice comfortable homes.

The Line to RichIands

Mr.. w. P. Hawley, general man
ager of the Bluefeld Telehone Com
pany, was here on yesterday on busi-
ness connected with the new line
from Tazewell to Richlands. Hawley
said the only news he had worth
talking about, was that the Appa-
lachian Power Company is the big
gest thing ever organized in this
country, the railroads and coal COM
panies not excepted. The company has
bought the light plants of Wythe-
vile, Pulaski, Radford, Christians
burg, Bluefeld, Pocahontas, Key
stone, besides a number of properties
at the southern end of the line. This
promises to become one of the biggest
enterprises ever launced in Southwest
Virginia. New River is to be literal
ly harnessed, and put to work.
Huge dams are to be thrown across
the river, and large power plants in
stalled. Street car lines will be built.
and those already existing will be ex-
tended. The same with the electric
ligts. 1t is not known whether or
not the Tazewell plant is for sale, but
the line here should be, and could be
profitably extended in more than one
direction from Tazewell.
The Appalachian Company has a
capital stock of 25 million dollars. 1t
is thought that Mr.. Ballysly, the
Street Railway King of the West, is
President of the company.
Manager Hawley gave out the
pleasing intelligence that his compa-
ny is now organizing a Farmers Line
Department, which will be pushed
through the counties of Tazewell.

NO SHOW HERE
ON JULY FOURTH
Not Sufficient Interest Shown
to Justify the Management
in the Undertaking.

AT mee ting of the Fair manage
ment il was decided to call off the
proposed July 4th Celebration, as
planned aud ADVERTISED. This decision
was reached after careful considera-
tion. The committee having the mat
ter in charge. after pretty thorough
canvass and correspondence concluded
that the interest taken in the matter
by people of the county was not sufli-
cient to justify the Association in un-
dertaking to carry out the program.
Norton, Pocahontas and Bluefield
are each advertising big attractions
for the Fourth, and the boys did not
see their way clear to offer sufficient
inducements to justify an attempt.
Therefore, "There'll be no show" on
the Fourth.

When The Conference Blundered

The conference made one big mis-
take. 1t failed in one of the most i'm
portant parts of it's program. The
consideration of the Sunday school
question was deferred to the last half
hour of the conference, and the re-
port and discussions rushed and dis
posed of post haste, with little or no
interest. The lack of time rendered
this quick work necessary. But, con-
sidering the fact, that the Methodist
church get 81 per cent of its members
and 80 per cent Of its ministers,
and in fact, rs per cent of it's
churches through the Sunday school,
it would appear wise to give this fea-
ture of the work the right of way, and
make the most important thing the
most important thing in their think
ing and planning. Back behind all
missionary effort, and the only hope
of church growth and prosperity lies
this great Sunday school work, and
its improvement and development 80
it seems to some people, should be,
not "a concern" but "the chief con-
cern." of all churches and ministers.
The Methodist church is prominently
Sunday school church, and they are
in the lead in this great work every
where, -ecxept in this section, and
the short time given to 1t at the re-
cent conference, while unavoidable
perhaps, is no less regrettable. The
subject should have had an entire
day, and the heart and brains of the
entire conference concentrated upon
it. The conference was so full of
good things that this one blunder ap-
pears only the more so.
