Col. Pendleton on Ragged Edge

washington County Journal:
Col. "Billie" Pendleton, editor of
the bitterest and most mislea ling
political organ of n republican char
acter in the Southwest, is now in
Richmond undergoing treatment at n
local hospital. From the reports of
interviews from him. published in the
Richmond newspapers. he is about to
despair OF tke chances of the Slcmp
machine in the Ninth District. lie
believes the "Bull Moose" party in
this district els gaining strength each
day With Bowen as the nominee of
the Roosevelt Piogrcssives, Slcmpism
is dead. General Il. A. Ayers, the
Democratic nominee, will win hands
down, according to views now heing
expressed. We had hoped that Colonel
Pendleton would expressly declare so,
for we believe this to be face recog-
nized by his political sagacity. Peu-
dleton is Il Democrat at heart and his
people know no other creed. He, like
numerous other Republicans. will
finally return to the faith of their
fathers. 1t is the best doctrine after
all and the only one suited to the
people of this commonwealth Good
Republicans are rallying to the sup
port of Ayers, General Ayers is he
loved by all of our people and they
VIII see that success meets his present
ambition. Every day Republicans tell
us that the nomination of Ayers is
the best we have had in years. They
say that more Republicans will vote
for the General than any other Demo-
crat. Republicans in this district
want to dispose of tn Slemp machine,
and ms they have thair ideal of
Democrat in Ayers, they will elect
him.
Colonel Pendleton's son is Pro-
gressivc. The Colonel has decided
leanings that way, but we believe
the Colonel, before the campaign is
over, will come out for Ayers. He in
our opinion will be followed by
Williamson McGavock and Others.
These meme annot go back on Ayers,
even if he is Democrat. So let this
fall witness the coming back to the
Democratic party of all the good Re
publicans in this district.
The Colonel. so reports go, is com
ing back to Marion to reside. We
hope to see him spending the remain
der of his days in the happiness of
his original political faith.

Republican Mass Meeting g

The Republicans of the county held
large and enthusiastic meeting in
the Courthouse Tuesday, commencing
at eleven thirty. Delegates were Sc
lected to the Bristol convention on
the 2Sth instant, but were uninstruct-
ed.
Robert o. Crockett was elected
county chairman in place of John Z.
Barns, whose term of office had ex-
pired, and w. G. O'Brien was elected
secretary of the county committee in
place of James w. Harman, resigned.
No resolutions commencing either
Taft or Roosevelt were offered, and
no attempt made to offer any such
resolutions. Consequently the conven-
tion did not 90 on record as favoring
anybody for President At the close
of the Convention, Mr.. Spratt at
tempted to get resolution passed
commencing Slemp for what he had
done for the party in the past ten
years, but the resolution was offered
after the adjournment of the meeting
and no action was taken on it.
Robert O. Crockett made a brief
speech. in which he urged the Repub-
licans of the county to get together
and forget their differences; that he
would not accept the responsibilities
imposed by the election to the county
Craftsmanship unless the Republicans
of the county stood behind him, and
gave him their loyal support. He was
followed by H. C. Galloway, of Gra-
ham, who spoke briefly, urging har-
mony, stating among other things,
that the Republicans in Tazewell
county need not become agitated over
the race for President, that they
could vote for whom they pleased, as
Virginia would give the usual Demo-
cratic majority, it did not matter who
was the candidate or what the issues
were.
MIR. Galloway, who is postmaster at
Graham. therefore listed as one of
the "pie eaters'', admitted that the
bull-moose party must be recognized.
He urged his hearers to inc up be-
hind man who favored a high tar
iff. meaning of course Mr.. Taft.
The followers of Roosevelt appear
ed to have decided to abandon the
canvass for the Colonel in this county,
as not word was uttered in the
meeting that could be construed as
favorable to the ex-President. The
Republicans of the county who have
heretofore been so active for the
Progressive party, have, for reasons
not known, developed decided cool
ness towards their idol

Good For Norton

When you want to know where TO
find slumbering it may be, true love
for the old Boys in Grey, and the
sweetest, and most ascred memories
OF our glorious past. just stir up n
little, and enlist the women of our
dear old South in anything that per
tains to the comfort and welfare of
the old soldiers, and if within the
reach of their ability, that thing is
done. recent experience of this
writer constrains him to say this. In
conversation on recent occasion with
good woman of Norton, he spoke of
the great difficulty he, as inspector of
the 9th district, experienced in keen
ing together the camps, and getting
reports from the same i'm counties
where there is no u. ID. C. Chapter.
Imagine my profound qualification
when my western mail brings to this
Office a report of the personal and
full organization of the splendid chap
ter of Salyer-Lee, of Norton. We
also have similar news from Lee. and
is ii strange that an old soldier of
many campaigns and sundry winters,
should give "rebel yell" for the
women of the Southwest, and an extra
one for the president of Salyer-Lee
chapter.

Off the Track

Our young and aspiring friend, the
editor of Sandy Valley News, makes
frequent attempts recently to appear
sensational, and sometimes succeeds.
The recent issue of his paper climbs
all over our neighbor. The Tazweell

claring that Taft and his party stole
Roosevelt delegates and that Mr.. Taft
and his crowd generally are set of
thieves, Mr.. l.. p. Summers, includ-
ed. He. in another column, goes out
OF his way, gets out of his line, by
flying Mt Mr.. Bryan, and says, among
other things: "In trying to array the
classes against the masses at Balti-
more, Col Bryan showed that he was
too small to ever be President of this
great nation In this same article
the information is given out that
when Col. Roosevelt gets his policies
to work" " that every man, rich or
poor, will have square deal and a
voice in the government. Talk about
stealing-where did Col Roosevelt
get his policies? He got them about
like TAFT got the delegates. The Bull
\ Moose is one of the most notorious of
pilferers when it comes to appropriat-
ing things and measures, "policies, "

BEGINNINGS OF GAME LAWS
First Legislation In This Country to
Protect Deer Was Passed
In 1863.

Game legislation in this country
has had an interesting history Deer
were the first game animals to be
protected. AS early as 1863 law was
passed in South Carolina forbidding
their destruction during the months
from January to July, while Vermont
prescribed the same closed season for
deer in 1897
Massachusetts in 1917 protected
deer during a similar season, follow
cd by Virginia in 1920 Little other
legislation. except in New Jersey in
SAG, is found until after 1850, when
Missouri, Ohio, Alabama and Cali
fornia prescribed closed seasons, and
Delaware in 1862 prohibited the kill.
ing of,deer at any time
In the SOS came Kentucky with
protection for females only, and later
Illinois, Kansas. Pennsylvania, Ne
braska and Minnesota followed, the
last state including elk in its pro-
tective measures.
The earliest instance which has
been found in the United States of an
enactment to protect fur-bearins ami
mails is that prescribing the closed
season for the muskrat, in Vermont
in 1912. 1t was prohibition which
covered practically the entire year, It
being lawful to take the muskrat
from March 10 to May %.
