TAZEWELL HAS
GREAT OPPORTUNITY
The Tine to Become the Metropolis of An
UndMeIOpsd Kingdom of Coal Is
Now al Oar Door

Tazewell needs q wide-awake board
OF trade with working committee of
boosters and a iye-wira secretary. Let
our merchants quit setting on their
counters and discussing what the par
cels post will do to them, and organize
to be IN position to grasp the opportu-
nifty to grow and be in position to use
the parcels post il it comes.
The Bland Messenger of last week
carried condemnation proceedings of
the New River, Holston and Western
Railroad for q twenty-five mile extern
sion Of its road from the present termi-
nus near Rocky Gap. This proposed ex-
tension will carry the road to Hicks
vile, and is for the purpose of reaching
some valuable timber lands belonging
to the owners Of the railroad This ex-
tension will benefit the people of Burkes
Garden by giving them better railroad
facilities, but would not be of further
benefit to this county.
How then, can this road be brought
to the further development Of our own
town and countyi
The answer is so easy that it is a won
der it has not been thought of before.
Call attention Of the New River. Hol-
ston and Western Railroad to the excel
lent low gap entrance, at their COM
mand, to the vast undeveloped coal
fields that lie to the west of Us.
They can, by following Clear Fork of
Wolf Creek TO Grafton, reach the head
waters of south Clinch by an easy grade.
The gap there is so low that the parting
of the waters between New River and
Chnch is almost impreceptiole. Then,
leaving Grafton, it could come via Taze-
well and follow the Town Branch to the
Clinch and up Cavitts Creek to the best
undeveloped coal field of southern West
Virginia and through one of the gaps of
Sandy to the virgin forests and coal
fields OF Buchanan county and Eastern
Kentucky Why, the Norfolk and West
ern could afford to pay the operating
expenses of this branch for trackaqe
rights to save the SUBMITS at Tiptop
and Bluefeld in handling their CIinch-
field business, and in the hands of an in
dependent company, with a connection
with both the Norfolk and Western and
Virginian roads, would mean the devel-
opment of kingdom of coal that lies
at our doors.
Then, let our board of trade be of as
sistsnce in securing suitable grounds
for yards and shops in the suburbs of
our little city and Tazewell would, at
once. become the Roanoke of this unde-
veloped dominion.

DeYOe Takes Least Gallons: Always

Paint Devoe; it's the cheapest paint

Portrait of GencraI Houston.

In the Virginia House of Delegates
on last Saturday night in Richmond,
Congressman Jack Beall, of the Fifth
Texas district, presented on behalf of
the state of Texas to the state of Vir-
ginis an oil portrait of General Sam
Houston.
1--WE tender you tonight" said Mr..
Beall, "a portrait of this simple but
majestic man, this soldier who bled for
two republics, this orator, statesman
and patriot, and we declare to you that
the deeds he wrought entitle him to live
in our hearts as great Texan, in yours
as a great Virginian and in the hearts
of all mankind as great American"
Referring to General Houston's ca
reer in Washington while United States
Senator, Mr.. Beall said, ''He took little
part in the proceedings of the Senate,
speaking but rarely. When he did
speak, it was with force and often times
with great eloquence and power. He
spent large part of his time in the
Senate chamber whiting with long,
sharp knife on white pine or cedar
sticks, plentiful supply of which he
always carried in his pockets, and
grumblIng in an audible tone about the
speeches there being so long and dry.
The same kind of speeches are still de-
livered, but nobody whittles."
In accepting the portrait, former At
torney- General VIM. A. Anderson, of
Rockbridge. General Houston's native
county, said:
"On behalf of the authorities of Vir-
ginia, | make grateful acknowledgment
of the gracious act of Texas in this gift
of the portrait of a son of Virginia, who
sitter chequered career of gallant and
distinguished military and civic service
as soldier, citizen, representative in
Congress, attorney general and Cover
nor of Texas, became illustrious as the
savior and chief architect of the repub-
lie and the state of Texas"

GOOD SPEECH
BY PETERSON

Joseph H. Peterson, republican can
dldate for attorney general, delivered
a clean straight forward address to
fair sized audience at the opera
house in this city Thursday night.
and from the careful attention paid
and comments since heard he made
an excellent impression upon his
hearers. John M. Haines, candidate
for governor, who was expected to
speak also, was called to Boise on
business and was unable to be pres
ent, which was a disappointment to
the people.
The speaker was introduced by Vice
Chairman Anderson in an entertain
ing speech of some fifteen minutes.
At the close of Mr.. Petersons ad-
dress, Judge Ailshie who was present,
was called upon by the audience, and
delivered an able fifteen minutes
speech on good citizenship, and clos
ed by commencing Mr. Peterson s
candidacy, with whom he said he had
been acquainted for the past six
years and with whose thorough quail
ifications for the office he was per-
fectly familiar.

CAMPAIGNING UNDER DIFFICULT
TIES

Frank S. Rice, republican candi-
date for county treasurer, and Charles
T. Mcdonald, for prosecuting attor-
ney, were among the candidates who
attended the Borah meeting here last
Friday evening. The next day they
went up onto the Doumecq and JOS
eph to canvass that section. 1t was
here that Mr.. Rice realized the handi-
cap he was under when it came to
campaigning. He was sitting in the
back seat Of an open hack and in
going through swale in the road his
weight was thrown upon the back
of the seat and it gave way allow
ing him to fall out onto his head.
The fall rendered him unconscious
for several minutes and it is a won
der that his neck was not broken.
Mr.. Rice suffered the loss of both
legs in an accident several years ago
and the absence of legs made him
top-heavy and the jerk of the mack
did the rest. The accident did not
result in any permanent injury to
Mr.. Rice, but it is doubtful If he
will attempt campaign in the noun
famous section of the county again
soon.-White Bird Sun.
