Lynn Haines, Of Minnesota fame,
is now at Washington where he has
been engaged at probing the record
of the thirty U. S. senators whose
terms expire next spring. His new
book is called ''The Senate From
1907 to 1872" and gives the prin-
cipal public acts Of all these senat-
ors whose records will be an issue
in the coming campaign. "Old Man
People" is waking up and it will not
be so easy to gloss over and cover
up crooked acts by aid of subsidized
press and paid orators on the clos
ing days Of the campaign.

James Manahan, the gallant fight
er for the public interests in the rail-
road rate cases, will be a candidate
for Congressman at-large. He will
no doubt draw a heavy vote from
the progressive element. Ex-senator
L. O. Thorpe of Willmar has filed,
with the best of chances for good
vote. The other filings are Frank
NJ. Eddy, former Congressman from
the old Seventh District, and Paul
Denehl, Of Worthington, whose can
didacy is a joke. This contest will
be picturesque one to say the least.

OF Local Interest.

The Hillsvillu tragedy is not with
out local interest in Tazewe II.
Mr.. and Mrs. f. p. Edwards, of this
town, are natives of Carroll county,
born and reared near Hillsvile, where
they lived until they moved to Taze-
well some years ago. Mrs. Edwards
was Miss Williams, sister to Sam
Williams, also native of Carroll
county Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards know
the Aliens wel-knew Floyd, who
married Miss Edwards, and the old
er ones. Some of the younger set
have grown up since Mr.. Edwards
moved away. He, of course, knew
the Edwards, to whom he ia very dis
tantly related, if at all. A represen-
tative of this paper called to see Mr..
and Mrs. Edwards, and asked them
about the Aliens and Edwards people
involved in this trouble. They were
well ac acquainted with the older Aliens
years ago, and spoke in praise of
them as neighbors and quiet citizens
until crossed or aroused, and then
they were terros. The entire commune
ity was afraid of the preach
ers. sherilfs, revenue officers and all.
A great deal of moonshining was car
riad on in that section, says Mr..
Edwards, for years and years, and
there was frequent trouble, fights and
killings on account of 1t. A few
years ago preacher, who was also a
singing master, was called to his door
one night and shot dead by q man
who was connected with moonshining,
and against whom the preacher had
been summoned to testify before the
grand jury, which was to meet next
day. Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards gave a
number of Incidents which occurred
in that section, showing that liquor
has been the curse of that community
for years. They also repeated over
and over, that kinder set of men
could not be found anywhere than
these same men, who, like many
others in the world, are terrors when
aroused and under the influence of
liquor. When asked if he was close
akin to the Edwards boys involved in
this trouble, Mr.. Edwards said, "No,
stree. and don't you put it in the
paper that way either. l am sorry il
all happened in my old county, but
cannot but feel thankful that none OF
my people are mixed up in it," Ger.
tainly there cannot be. found a more
quiet, peaceable man on earth thar

Put an ice-cap to tho head; lacking
an ice-cap, use plenty of cracked Ice
done up in towel. Fifth-Give ar
enema of warm soap susd. Repeat il
if it is not retained. Sixth-As sooI

Why He Was Unarmed
From The Lynchburg News:

A prominent citizen of SOUTHWEST
Virginia who was present at the
Ninth district Democratic convention
held last week at Bristol and who
while there talked with certain other
gentlemen who had been to Hillsville
and were well posted as to affairs in
connection with the Carroll county
tragedy, gives The News the follow
ing story, which explains why Judge
Massie, though warned was not
armed:
1t seems that the night before the
tragedy. Judge Massie was approach
ed by Sheriff Webb and Clerk Goad,
who told him they anticipated trouble
should Floyd Allen be convicted.
Judge Massie replied that they had SO
warned him six months before when
the Edwards boys were on trial and
nothing had occurred at that time.
However, to be on the safe side.
Judge Massie went to Mr.. Upton and
Judge Bolen, counsel for Floyd Allen,
and informed them that he had heard
the Aliens expected to make trouble
if Floyd was not acquitted. These
gentlemen, anxious as anyone thai
nothing should occur, Immediately
had a consultation with their client
and with Sidna Allen, both of whom
gave assurances that they would no
attempt in any way to interfere will
the court.
On this assurance, Judge Massi
felt that he was warranted in no
taking the precautions which h
| would have taken had he really ex
lpected the Aliens to make trouble
u lie did, however, order that fiv
deputy sheriffs be on hand and aemet
Only one of these deputies, it is sale

BURNED TO DEATH
Mrs. Brown, of Swords
Creek, Cremated Yes
terday Morning.

Mrs. Jane Brown. aged 65, who
occupied the lower rooms of the w.
K. Davis house at Swords Creek,
was burned to death Wednesday
night. when the building Of Mr..
Davis was burned to the ground. The
tragedy occurred sometime during the
night, when the building caught fire
from an unknown origin. The family

overhead, and when the fire was first
discovered. Mr.. Davis moved all his
family and what household goods he
could out of the building, and went
into Mrs. Browns room and woke her
up and brought her out. The old lady
had been out only short time, when
she returned, presumably for money
or some treasured article she had
forgotten, but the building col
lapsed shortly after she entered, and
this morning only few of her bones
were found.
The property belonged to w. II.
Davis. of Honakcr, and was insured
through n Tazewell Agency for

valued at SO. 900.
