ReOTganlze Lithia Springs Company.

The Tiptop Mineral Springs Company
was organized in Graham last week and
will succeed the Iron Lithia Springs
Company as owners of this popular
summer resort. The property was sold
to Joseph Keys, of Roanoke, at a trus-
tees sale last month, but old stockhold-
ers were given an opportunity to pro
tect their interests by coming into the
new company, which is capitalized 3 t
$685. 900. The new officers are: Joseph
Keys, president; DR.. j. Francke Fox,
vice-president; John Walters, secretary
and treasurer; w. H. Walters, mans-
ger. Arrangements are being made 10
have the opening June Goth, and it is
expected the resort will be more liberal
ly patronized this year than in the past,
as the good roads will afford great ad-
vantage in reaching the springs

Captain keWherY's Home Burned.

Sunday morning about o'clock the
home of Captain Henry Newberry, lu-
Gated about four miles southwest cf
Bland Courthouse. was discovered by
the family to be On fire The blaze
which started in the kitchen had made
such hesdway when discovered that but
little OF the household effects were
saved. There were no men about the
house, except Captain Newberry, who
Is eighty or more years old, and the
closest neighbors live half mile away,
hence but little aid was on the scene in
time to be of any assistance. Miss
Nan Evans Newberry had narrow es-
cape while attempting to save some
valuable papers belonging to her father.
Captain Newberry will rebuild at once.
His loss is estimated at 1000.

P. ". Early Sets Promotion.

p. w. Early, recently located at Lex
ington, KY, has been appointed engi-
neer in chief of the Virginia Carolina
Railway Company by President Mingea
OF that road, with headquarters in Alb
ingdon. Mr.. Early will have charge of
all engineering work on the road and on
the extension through a part of Wash
ington and Grayson counties. Virpi inis.
and Ashe county, N. c., to near Boone.
in Watauga county. The distance of
this new line will be about sixty miles.
A corps of engineers under Mr.. Earlv
is now in the White Top mountain sec
ton working on a revision of the loca-
ton from the mouth of Green Cove
creek to the top OF the divide, which To-
cation was made by engineers working
on this extension last summer. The
present plan Is 10 construct the line as
far as the North Carolina state line this
year, get the Virginia Carolina charter
ed in North Carolina by the legislature
next winter. and do the construction
work in that state during 1918
Mr.. Early is well known throughout
this section, having been before his re-
moval to Kentucky, engineer-in-charge
of the Cedar Bluff cut-off now being mt
through by the Norfolk and Western.
and before going to Cedar bluff was en-
gineer in-charge of the Tug Fork ex-
tension for the same road. DE has an
enviable reputation as an engineer, and
will, no doubt, make good in his respon-
sible position position with the Virginia
Carolina.

Bluefield To Have League Ball.

Bluefield capitalists have purchased
the franchise of the Danville baseball
team ard hereafter Bluefield will be
one of the eight cities making up the
Virginia leauge circuit.
The action admitting Bluefield as
member of the circuit was taken at a
meeting held in Richmond on last Sat-
urday when in return for the Danville
franchise Bluetield agreed to pay $l0O a
game guarantee in addition to a SO, 600
bond. Bluefeld will also pay off the
back salaries of the DanvilIe PLAYERS,
which is something like 5000. The
schedule of games for the season will
not be interfered with by the new order
things, Danville continuing in the leo
que up till today when Bluefield will
enter to take her place.
Bluefield has always been a good ball
town, ard now that she is to have a
league team we predict the patronage
accorded the game there in the past
will be insignificant when compared
with what it will be in the future; and
if money can procure a winning team
predict our neighbor city will have one
before the season is much further ad-
vanced

C. C. & 0. to Build TO Norton.

Considerable interest is being mani
tested by the people of Norton over the
report that the Carolina, Clinchfield and
Ohio Railway will let to contract at
once the construction of line from St
Paul to Norton, connecting with the In
terstate Railway, which is preparing to
build through Norton and erect depot
in the eastern part of the town. The
Caroline, Clinchfeld and Ohio own a
good portion of the right of way from
st. Paul to Norton, having acquired it
several years ago. There are many
collateral evidences, in addition to this
report, that support the claim that the
road is to be built in the near future
The belief that the town is soon to have
another railroad has already begun to
be felt in real estate values there

ASK PRESIDENT
TO PARDON SALYER.
Congressman SIemp and Others Seeking to
Save Kentucky MOuntalResT From Long
Term In Federal Prison.

That the first of the TRfts to come to
America was a blacksmith, who in the
latter years of his life had to make ''his
mark" when signing a paper, was de-
veloped on last Friday in Washington,
during visit of the four republican
Congressman from the Cumberland
mountain region Of Virginia, Kentucky
and Tennessee to the White House with
an appeal for pardon for a Pike coun-
ty, Kentuckian, recently sentenced to
serve five years in the penitentiary for
alleged obstruction Of process in the
Federal court at Big Stone Gap.
The story was told by the President
himself, who was in rare good humor
when Representatives c. Bascom SIemp
of Big Stone Gap; Richard w. Austin.
Of Tennessee, and Caleb Powers and
John w. Langley, of Kentucky, called
with their appeal for executive Glenn
eucy for Logan II. Salyer, of Heller.
Pike county. Salyer is one of the prom
inent citizens Of that section and man
of means.
Recently one Bruce Compton and his
wife were summoned to appear before
Judge Henry c. Mcdowell at Big Stone
Gap as witnesses in q moonshininQ case.
The ComDtons had dying child, which
they did not want 70 leave When they
received the summons they consulted
Salyer. lie thought of the diving child
advised them to stick by it, and thew
did, whereupon the grand Jury at Big
Stone Gap indicted Sslyer, who lived in
kentucky, for obstructing the process
of the court. AS soon as Salyer heard
of the indictment he bridled his horse
and rode through the mountains to Vir-
ginia, ahd demanded of the court imme-
date trial. He got it, and was SEN
fenced to five years in the penitentiary.
Now he is out on bail awaiting the re-
suit Of the appeal to the President.
Salyer's petition for clemency wes
signed with his mark When President
Taft saw ,his he told the Cumberland
mountain Congressman about mis- own
ancestor, Henry Taft. about seven gen
erations back. the first of the family to
come to America.
The President said that ancestor
knew how to read and write, but had
been blacksmith all his life, and when
up In the eighties the tendons of his
wrists were so stiff that he always made
his mark in signing papers, one of which
Is now a valued heirloom of the Taft
family.
President Taft has directed Attorney
General Wickersham to investigate the
case of Salyers.

UnVeil Monument June 2Oth.

Workmen are now busy placing in po-
sition the monument at Bland, which is
to be unveiled on June the 10th to COM
memorate the deeds of heroism of the
men that county gave to the Confeder-
ate cause back in the ever memorable
days Of the sixties. Much trouble has
been experienced IN getting the large
pieces of stone and marble across the
mountains from Wytheville, but it has
at last been accomplished, and every
thing will be in readiness for the unveil-
ing at time mentioned above. The peo-
pie OF Bland are making elaborate prep
arations for the occasion, and it is ex-
pected that the greatest crowd ever
seen in Bland will be present to partici-
pate in the exercises ami witness the
