Mr.. Pnyne for Legislature

Dear Friend and Voter Has MIR.
Samuel Mustard, the banker and mil
lionair, been to see you and asked you
to vote for him on November 9TH for
the Legislature to represent Tazewell
and Buchanan counties. If not, then
vote for me. would come and see
you, but the time ia too short for me
to see you all before the election.
Most of you know me from childhood,
and if am not better man in your
judgment than Mr.. Mustard then vote
for him. Call on him to stay all night
and call on me and see il there is any
difference. While | am poor, but no
man can say that | ever lied to lin
or failed to pay him what promised.
Now, friend, take the case and decide
between myself and Mr.. Mustard and
! will accept the verdict, but / do
hope that before you deposit your
ticket see that w. p. Payne's name
is on it.
If you are an old Confederate soldier
you cant vote against me, as that is
one thing that | want to go to the
Legislature for. to get them more
pension. God bless them, they need
more pension money as they get
older.
My father and brother were soldiers,
but they are gone now, but am here
to honor their names and yours,
and will do the same for you as long
as | live.
am in favor of Buchanan having
her own representative in the Legis-
lature as she is a very rich county
and her population is entitled rep
resentative.
Do what you think is right and
know what your verdict will be.
Your friend in deed and not for
Office,
W. p. PAYNE.

For Infants and Children.
The Kind You Hava Always BOugh!
s' sssss tho Of &hz2zz@

one of the famous Flint Lockers. -
who marched from the Southwest "a
help win the victory ut Kings Noun
tain. They wore the coon skin can,
with squirrel tail adornment and were
accompanied to point on the Hol-
ston river by the old beloved and we'll
known Presbyterian divine of that
day, Father Doak.' as he was eff
ectionately called by everyone.
Beneath the branches of great
oak on the Holston, Father Doak halt
ed and called this band of soldiers to
prayer, each pulling off his coon skin
cap and meekly kneeling to listen to
what is said to be one of the most re-
markable petitions which even went
up to Heaven. When the prayer was
ended Father Doak took each soldier
by the hand and gave him parting
blessing and returned to his home.
near Abingdon, Va. The chivalry. the
courage. of these brave Southwest
Virginia pioneers at Kings Mountain
is too well known. 1t needs no COM
ment. Kilgore was in the thckest of
the fight with his reckless, Irish cour
age, and though desperately wounded
he still fought until compelled to re-
tire. 1t is still thought by many many
that the prayer under the old oak ON
the Holston had something to do with
the great victory of Kings Mountain.
A feature, showing the courage of
the pioneers women as well as the
men: AS soon as it was known that
Kilgore was badly wounded his wife
and daughter started at once to bring
him home. There was nothing in those
days but lone trail through the
mountains, yet these brave women
followed it to Kings Mountain, camp
ing where ever night came on, among
the wild b1 asts, exposed to the dan
ger of the savages. they, however,
made the journey safely, placing the
husband and father as comfortably as
possible on the horse they returned
after days of hardship safely home.
What difference--the same trim
could be made in Pullman car.
81 often thought we had hardships
during the four years of civil war, f."
said Colonel Salyer, land we did,
but many time thought of the
lone journey of my great grandmother
to Kings Mountain, and the only
means she had at hand in bringing
her wounded home, and though wound
ed myself the care ! received was so
much better, thanked God and |
took courage.
The flash in the eye of the old Con
federate soldier, who relates this story
reminds one TINT he indeed inherited
n good deal of the spirit of Kings
Mountain, which gave the gratest ma
ton on earth the greatest freedom. >"

A Bit OF HISTORY

Norton, Va, Special Correspon
dence. There are a number of inter
esting bits of history connected will
this section of Southwest Virginia.
MIR. Summers, of Abingdon. wrote q
history of the Southwest some years
since, leaving out many incidents of
interest, which the "old-f folks" could
have given him.
Colonel l.. H. N. Salyer. who prac
ticed law and lived at Wise Court
house many years, but who has made
Whitesburg, KY, his home for some
time, was in Norton last week visiting
his daughter, Mrs. S. N Taylor. The
Colonel. though 76 years of age, is
very active. His father died recently
at his home in this county at the re-
markable age of lis years. In the
civil war he was brave and gallant
officer, serving with distinction under
General Wharton and Stonewsll Jack
son. The Colonel is an interesting
talker and can tell war and pioneer
incidents enough to fill a good sized
book. He gave the writer the follow
ing:
Among the first settlers of the will
derness, now Scott county, was n
husky Irishman, whose name was
Charles I. Kilgore, the pioneer ances-
tor of the large Kilgore family now
living in Wise and Scott counties, as
we'll as the large Culbertson family
and part of the Salyer family.
Kilgore built his cabin and begun
clearing. at what is now Nicholsville
in Scott, then Washington county.
When the Revolutionary Call came
he was ready volunteer. He was

- EDO Your Best

Id Whatever ones occupation may
De however serviceable to himself or
others. he must guard against the
danger of falling into the rut. or
growing dull in his work or allowing
1T to grow dull to him. Once in the
rut. he becomes mere hack, his vo.
cation loses its charm for him, its
chief benefit to others and drags him
and itself down to the level of the
med iocre and time serving plane. 1t
Simply becomes drudgery and he n
drudge.
One way to avoid this dangerous
pitfall is to find new interest and
greater value in ones work each day.
That. of course, is not SO easy where
the highest standard of one S service
is measured by the dollar mark. 1t is
all right to make the test utilatarian,
but let the utility have an intrinsic
value side. which money cannot meas.
ure. That is. not to speak disparag-
lngly of money, or of those occupa-
tions highly remunerative in them
selves. They are none the less bene-
fetal and laudablc because of their
emoluments. but they would lose in
character of influence if this worthy
element in them were made the one
absorbing element.
The persons who find contcnment in
his work for work $ sake, that is for
the sake of the good the work can be
made to produce, is not likely to lapse
into this state of desuetude And more
than that, one should attempt no mat
ter what his occupation may be. to
master it and keep on growing in it
and widening his sphere of influence
and in time his job will get so big he
will not have time to grow dull or

CERTAIN RESULTS
Many Tazewell Citizen Knows
How Sure They Are.

Nothing uncertain about the work
of Doan's Kidney Pills In Tazewell.
There is plenty OF positive proof of this
in the testimony of citizens. Such
evidence should convince the most
skeptlcal doubter. Read the following
statement:
Mrs. Maggie Rigney, of Tazewell,
Va, says: II am glad to confirm the
public statement gave in 1907 In
which 1 recommended Doan's Kidney
Pills. During the twenty-five years
that suffered from my Kidneys, 80
many remedies failed to cheek the
trouble that / become discouraged,
thinking nothing could reach my com
plant. / am now firmly convinced
that there is one preparation effective
enough to cure 1idney trouble and
that is Doan's Kidney Pills. My com
plant came on by spells and the great
est dislress was caused by dull, dragg-
ing ache between my shoulders. At
times I was almost helpless md 1t was
impossible for me TO get my rest. The
lidney secretions were also a source
OF annoyance and showed that my
1idneys were In fault. When heard
about Doan's Kidney Pills, 1 got a
supply at Jac1son's Drug Store and
after falling them, felt like differen,
woman. This remedy relieved MY
pains and aches and helped me il
every way"
