Storm Does Much Damage.

Reports from Buchanan and Russell
counties state that the high waters on
Big Sandy and Clinch rivers and their
tributaries, occasioned by the terrific
downpour of rain Sunday night and
Monday, washed away many hundreds
of bushels of corn and that thousands
upon thousands of logs lying along the
streams were swept away on the crest
of the waves.
All along the Clinch considerable dam
age was done to farms, bridges, etc.
while streams flowing into it swept away
a great deal of good bottom land, carry
ing with it much corn and other stuff
on the farms.
The most extensive damage, how
ever, was done on Widemouth and Elk
horn, just across the State line in West
Virginia, the rainfall in that section
being the heaviest recorded for many
years. The government observatory
at Bluefield recorded 2.7 inches of
rainfall in the twenty-four hours ending
at o'clock in the afternoon of Monday.
October End.
The Norfolk and Western railroad
suffered much damage from washouts
and on account of bridges being carried
away on the Widemouth and Elkhorn
extensions. Five branch lines, Crane
Creek, Widemouth, Goodwill, Simmons
and Northfork, were so badly damaged
that no trains could be operated over
them on Monday.
1t appears from reports from that
section that the storn of Sunday night
and Monday was the heaviest seen since
June, 1901, when hundreds of thousands
OF dollars worth of property was swept
away and scores of lives lost as the re-
suit of the cloudburst which suddenly
cast itself over that section of the Elk
horn west of Coaldale.

From Historic Old Williamsburg
Editor Republican,

Editor Republican,
Now that find myself far from the
hills and people of our great and glori-
Gus Southwest the memory of them
clings but the closer to me still.
On September the 18th l bade adieu
to the land which l so proudly call my
home, and took up my abode here in the
historic old town of Williamsburg, where
l am student at William and Mary
College.
The city of Williamsburg, in James
City county, is typical Virginia town.
1t contains about three thousand souls,
and variety of industries are in exist
ence here. One can not long stay in
Williamsburg without noticing the dig
nifty of the citizens. The historical i'm
portance of the town makes it center
of great attraction to sightseers; and
true to the great Virginian whose MEM
Ory is here held so sacred, it is claimed
that all Williamsburg thinks it crime
to be anything but dignifed.
Here the first lessons of Virginia pa
triotism were taught, and here that
spark of liberty first thought of by
Patrick Henry was kindled into flame
until finally it startled the world with
its boldness.
When one walks about the campus or
wanders through the sacred halls of the
old college, the spirits of Marshall, Mad
ison, Jefferson and Henry seem to look
again on the manhood of Virginia and
appeal to the college youths of today to
keep the standard of Virginia citizen
ship ever upward.
While there may be plans laid out
that can not be accomplished, and
heights looked up to that can never be
l scaled, yet there are ideals that can be

Rev. James Harvey Alexander, of
Atlanta. Ca, passed away at the home
of his brother, Captain John D. Alex
ander, of this place, on last Saturday
morning at $50 o'clock. The afternoon
preceding his death he was engaged in
gathering some apples at the residence
of Rev. w. w. Carson and, the ladder
turning, he fell to the ground, injuring
himself internally, and from the effects
of which he died as stated.
Rev. Alexander was born in Tennes-
see rs years ago last May. Early in
life he entered the Presbyterian minis
try, and in this capacity served his Mas
ter faithfully until fifteen years ago,
when he became field agent for the
Christian Observer, of Louisville, Ky.
He came to Virginia just after the Civil
War, his first charge being Rich Valley,
in Smyth county. His last charge be-
fore becoming connected with the OBJ
server was in Atlanta, Ca, in which
city his family, consisting of wife, one
son and four daughters, now reside.
A brief service was held at the resi-
dence of his brother here on Sunday
afternoon, and the remains were taken

Temperance Lecture.

A pleasant feature of the address
given by Mrs. Amy Weech, of Alexan-
dria, under the auspices of the w. C. t.
U. here on last Tuesday evening, was
the number of men attending, nearly
fifty per cent of the audience being men.
The attendance as a whole was poor,
very poor, indeed, considering the ex-
cellency Of the lecture. Mrs. Weech is
deep, logical thinker, and has beau
tiful flow of words to clothe her thought.
The lecture was well worth hearing as
literary treat as well as q strong pre-
sentation of the views of the women OF
the w. c. T. U. on the temperance
question.

you are a candidate to represent the
people of the Third Senatorial district

sembly of Virginia, you are hereby re-
spectfully requested to give your posi-
tion on the two following items of legis-
lation which the Anti Saloon League of

lature for enactment, viz:
First: In event bill is introduced in
the General Assembly restricting the
privilege granted in liquor license to the
sale of intoxicating liquor in those
places only where licenses can be legal
ly granted, and to the shipment of in
toxicating liquors to those parts only

Second: In the event a bill is pre-
sented providing for an enabling act
which will authorize the holding of an
election upon the question of State
wide prohibitory law, whenever said
election is demanded by twenty-five per
cent of the qualified voters of the State,
will you, or will you not, in such event,
vote for such bill?
Most respectfully submitted by re-
quest of the Anti-Saloon League of Vir-
ginia.

GOLDEN SEASON
FOR SOUTHWEST.
Export Cattle From Our Blue Grass Hills
Now Moving in Vast Herds TO
European Markets

This is the season when the people OF
this great section rejoice. The merry
beat OF the resounding hoofs of the vast
herds of export cattle as they move to-
ward the markets, make glad the hearts
of the farmer and grszier, who realize
that soon a stream of golden dollars
will begin arriving to repay them for
the anxious summer spent in dreading
the drouth would cut down their re-
ceipts
At nearly every railroad siding
throughout the great Southwest may
be seen strings of cattle cars loading
with fatted steers to satisfy the epicu-
rean tastes of the Europeans.
Virginia is the only State in the Union
that raises the cattle on the blue grass
to be shipped for beef direct from the
grass fields to the European markets
Other States ship live stock to Europe,
to be sure, but it remains for the val.
leys between the mountains of South.
west Virginia to grow the blue grass
that will fatten cattle ready for the
wealthy and high living Englanders'
table.
The other States have to stall feed
their cattle to make them acceptable to
this high class European trade, and
that adds immensely to the cost and de-
tracts in like proportion from the profits.
Cattle shipped direct from the grass
fields of Southwest Virginia are already
in shape for the European markets, and
hence the profits on Southwest Virginia
grown beeves are all the greater.
Besides, the grass fed cattle, as has
been demonstrated, make steaks and
roasts that are more acceptable to the
palates of the European beef eaters
than do the more expensively stall fed
cattle from the Western and far South
western States.
Virginians have learned how to cater
to this good paying European trade, and
cattle raising for export has become an
enormous industry in the Southwestern
counties, an industry that is bringing
more and more good European money to
Virginia every year. These blue grass
cattle are raised and fattened in the
fields of this great section and are ship
ped on the hoof to Newport News and
Norfolk and thence by ship to Europe,
mainly to Great Britain, where they are
sold for fancy figures, no Western cat
tie being able to compete with them
This export cattle raising business has
reached vast proportions in this Sec
tion, and brings much money to the
graziers who, in turn, distribute it tc
their employees, tenants and others, SC
that it eventually reaches the stores,
thus beneftting every citizen of ou,
great section.
Great is cattle, and in this sec.
tion he is king.

attained and goals that may be reached
If we but have ambitions.
Southwest Virginia has only one seat
of learning, while dotted over other
parts of Virginia's soil are numerous
colleges and universities receiving State
aid. But where is the man who dares
say that the people of the great and
glorious Southwest have not made
good?"
The pure mountain air, the cool re-
freshing water and brisk atmosphere of
the Southwest are things to be proud
of, and to be deprived of when once
adapted to them, makes one appreciate
them all the more.
Now a word about the good people of
Whitewood, with whom | was thrown
during August and the first two weeks
of September, and l close. They were
kind and courteous at all times, and
greatly enjoyed my stay among them
and regretted that other duties called
me from their midst. My heart goes
out to them, and when they depart from
Whitewood for other fields of labor, my
best wishes will follow them.
