Virginia Oysters Not Dange[pus

That the vast majority of Virxinis
oysters grounds yield oysters Of un-
questionable purity and that no one is
In danger from eating these oysters in
any form, is the substance Of n state
ment issued by the State Health De-
partment, following recent publicity on
this subject.
In the course of a paper on typhoid
fever, read before the Medical Society
Of Virginia on October 25th, DR.. Ennion
q. Williams, State Health Commission
or, said: Several notable outbreaks
of typhoid have been attributed to raw
oysters. Large quantities of water
pass through an oyster as it lies in its
watery bed. If the water contains mi
cro-organism, they readily lodge in the
substance of the oyster. All oysters
that are taken from water polluted with
sewage are possible sources Of ty-
phoid."
AS this remark was apparently mis-
understood by some who attended the
medical society meeting, DR.. Williams
declares that be feels that the Virginia
oyster deserves defence.
ALMOST without exception, he says.
our Virginia oysters are sanitary and
the attempt made to challenge their
character few years ago came from
persons interested in boosting the mark
ct of Northern oysters. The State
Health Department on at least two oc-
casions has made careful inspections of
our oyster grounds and has found little
to criticise. Some grounds which were
suspicious and which might cause such
outbreaks of typhoid as those to which
l referred in my paper have been closed
and no oysters are sent from them to
the market. The oystermen are CO.
operating with health authorities in i'm
proving the sanitary aspects of their
industry, and they deserve the support
Of the people. While oysters can cause
typhoid, as stated in my paper. they
seldom do produce such outbreaks. l
am not afraid of Virginia oysters. l
frequently eat them raw, and regard
them as the most sanitary oyster on the
market. The truth of typhoid infection
is very simple; 1t is caused by human
filth no matter how conveyed"

Mr.. Browns Gard.

The Rev. C. R. Brown, Democratic
candidate for State Senate, has sent
out card to the voters of Tazewell,
Russell, Buchanan and Dickenson coun-
ties in which he says:
Twenty years ago 1 began work
as a Methodist circuit rider, and
most of my life since has been spent
in an effort to help my fellow-coun-
trymen, regardless Of their political
faith"
What a pity Brother Brown didn't
stick to his worthy work as a circuit
rider instead of becoming an itinerant
politician for the Democratic machine.
Then, Mr. Brown declares that he
can be more useful in the Senate than
will be Republican. He says:
Il believe in better roads, better
schools, free school books for the
poor, and fewer changes in the
books now used, and a fair show for
every man. l also want to see our
four counties given their Just pro-
portion of representation in the
Legislature in the apportionment of
1912. l also favor the minority
party being represented when and
where 1t is concerned and interested
Il refer particularly to its having
representation on h e Electoral
Board"
IT MIR. Brown is truly for these things,
why does he cooperate with the men
and the party that are not for them?
Does he not know that all these matters
are settled by the Democrats in caucus
and under the direction of a Democratic
machine; and that he will have to &C
quiesce in the outrages that have been
inflicted upon the Republicans and ali
the people of the Ninth district? If he
is for the Republicans having a fair
show, why was he such Jealous parti-
san of Mr.. Stuart, who voted in the
constitutional convention against the
proposition to give the Republicans rep
resentation on the Electoral Boards:
and who even voted against the propo-
sltion to give the Republicans one of the
election clerks at every precinct, though
he, Stuart, had declared that that " as
the only sure way to prevent frauds at
the ballot box?
If Mr.. Brown is sincerely for SO many
good things, he ought to join the Re-
publicans and urge his friends to vote
for Mr.. Royal. He must know that a
fair show for every man will never be
accorded by the Democratic machine.
with which be is now so closely associ-
ated.

4 Gard From Mr.. Mustard.

Editor Tazewel Republican,
sm just back from the county of
Buchanan, and am proud to say that
have never met in all my life kinder
aud more hospitable people. 1 believe
tnst they will have one Of the wealthiest
counties in the State when they get the
railroad facilities to properly develop
the untold millions worth OF coal that is
hidden in the bowels Of the grand old
mountains of buchanan and the vast
tracts Of virgin timber standing all over
their ridges and mountains, rearing
their tops hoayenwsrd. 1t is one Of the
great counties of the State wherein the
people get close to nature to natures
God.
The mountain scenery is grand, al
most beyond description. 90 not be-
heve that there Is any artist who could
paint that beautiful scenery as nature
has pictured it at this time in the year,
be ne ever 90 accomplished and grand.
If you want feast for the vision Of the
eye, mind end soul, go to Buchanan and
49, -t-N N-e+-=+s~a u AA4f1N AEGaL COUNTY AS
have seen them, get in touch with the
good people as have done, and you will
love them and they will love you.
They have az bright boys and girls as
you con find in any county of the State,
and when these bright minds are cult
waited and developed they will surprise
cur Eastern neigh6ors by the amount of
intellect and talent that is now stored
up IN these earthern vessels made by
the plastic hands of Deity. The time is
not far in the future when these noble
boys and girls will be a great power in
State and Church and when their voices
will be heard in the councils of our Ma
ton. Many of the young men are now
attending school at different points in
the State. ] talked to many of the lit
lie fellows and encouraged them to love
their books and teachers, for believe
their parents could give to them no leg
scy equal to good education.
