What Result?

What was the result of the Equal
Suffrage meeting held here on Tues
day evening? 1t was something en-
tirely new and out of the ordinary.
What about it? This question is being
asked extensively, and cannot be
satisfactorily answered, perhaps. at
this early date. Time will tell. Taze-
we'll is "staid and sturdy" "set in
her ways" and slow to take hold of
"rew things" The lady visitors
expressed themselves as highly pleas
ed with their visit and reception.
They did not expect TO do more than
"sow few seed" Inquiries among
the men who were present, and able
to hear the speeches., shows differ
ences of opinion, of course, but it is
only fair to state that the majority
express themselves as favorable to
the idea. Some are in doubt,
with few decidedly antagonstic.
A surprisingly large number of
good women are found who express
themselves as favorable to Woman
Suffrage. One good woman said,
when such women as Mrs. Valentine,
Miss johnson and other good and SER
ious people, men and women, come
out for Equal Suffrage, it is time tc
"sit up and take notice" No argu.
inent against the theory or principle
is offered. However, some of the best
and most conservative of the citizens
of the town express themselves as
being opposed to it, as they now see
it. Everybody, however, was Pile aset
and highly entertained by the ad
dresses.

All Paid For

The services at the Methodist church
North Tazewell, were of unusual in.
terest, it being the occasion of rededi-
cation of the church which has been
renovated inside and out, and made
almost new. The improvements, at a
cost of about a thousand dollars, all
being completed, last Sunday was set
as the day to meet, rededicate, cele-
brate and donate, and so it was done.
The energetic pastor. Mr.. Wiley, has
had full charge of the work, collect
ions and all, and deserves the highest
praise. He had the promise of help
for last Sundays service, but at the
last every preacher backed out or got
sick, or something else prevented,
and Mr.. Wiley had to throw himself
in the breach, and well he did it, too.
He lacked about $3.50 to clean up all
expenses. He went after it, and got
it, and more, and the entire debt o.
improvement was paid. Mr.. Wiley
and his North Tazewell congregation
deserve congratulations.

OF cases somewhat similar to this ono
previously decided in the Court of
Appeals, in which this last principle
was sustained
The uniformity clauses of the Consti-
tuition of 1856 and of 1902 are sub
stantiahy the same, and the authori
ties to which attention has been
called fully sustain the constitution
ality of the act of February 25.
1908.
We are furthermore of opinion that
the assignment of error, that these
bonds are not direct county bonds for
which the county is primarily respon-
slble, but are direct magisterial dis
trict bonds for which the districts are
primarily liable, is not meritorious.
Counties are erected by the Legis-
lature, and constitute sub divisions of
the State. They are organized under
the Constitution and laws, and, with
in their territorial limits, are clothed
with many important governmental
and other functions. Among others.
they have authority to make levies
for local purposes. They also have
power to make contracts, with respect
to which they may sue and be sued
as provided by law. and possess ade-
quate agencies and machinery to dis
charge the duties and obligations
imposed upon them by law. But it is
otherwise with respect to maigsterial
districts, which are subordinate di
visions of precincts of county, Great
ed for political and administrative
purposes of exceedingly limited char
acter. They are without that artificial
personality possessed by corporate
bodies. They have authority to elect
certain officers, but possess no debt
power under general statutes
OF the State, and plainly have no
such power under the act of February
25, 1908. 1t is not possible, there
fore, that these road bonds are direct
district bonds.
On the other hand that the bonds
are direct county bonds, for payment
of which the full faith and credit of
the entire county is pledged, unmis-
takably appears from the terms of
the act.
reference is here made to provis-
ions in seven different sections of the
act showing that it was the purpose
of the law to make the bonds direct
county obligations.
1t thus appears that these bonds are
direct county bonds for the payment
of which "the full faith and credit of |
the entire county is pledged :"
and the liability of the county, so far
as the holder of the bonds is concern
ed. is in no way diminished by the
circumstance that as between the
county and the magisterial district a
and expeditions method is
provided for payment of the interest
and principal of the bond by levy of
sufficient tax upon the property in
the district for that purpose.
In conclusion, we are of opinion
that the act in question is constitu-
tional; that the bonds are direct
county bonds for which Tazewell
County is primary liable to the hold
ers; and that the proceedings by
which this bond issue was authorized
md the bonds executed were in all
'espects regular and lawful
For these reasons, the judgment of
he circuit court must be affirmed.
The opinion was rendered by Judge
Stafford G. Whittle.

l, Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., desir-
ious of standing right before God
and man, do on this 23rd day of Nov

In Memory of Mrs. Mary Gibson

Mary Clementine Gibson, neo
Rhudy, was born near Sharon, Wythe
county, now Ceres, Bland county,
Sept. 26. 1849 She was the daught err
of Rev. S. and Cynthia Ann Rhudy,
and was baptized in infancy by old
Father" Sherer, and was confirmed
in the Evangelical Lutheran church
early in life, and was faithful
member in same. Some fifteen years
ago there not being any organization
of Lutherans near, she connected her
self with the NJ. T.. church, S., and
served as q devoted member in same
until, on Nov. z, 1911, she fell
asleep in Jesus. She was not one who
made a great worldly show but was
humble and devoted and always found
near. the Masters feet. To know her
was to love her and those who knew
her best loved her most.
On January 4th, 1871, she was
united in marriage to George A.
Gibson. from which union were born
thirteen children. four of whom pre-
ceded her to the Spirit Land. Though
the family are divided here on earth,
and our hearts are sad and torn be-
cause she is not, yet may they be a
