Why Not a Swimming Hole?

A move has been started by lovers
of swimming in the city to secure
funds for making a pool just above
the Main street bridge so they may
take their daily plunge without go
ing two or three miles out of the city.
Its principal advocates contend that
the work of eXcavating a hole of suf-
ficient depth to permit of swimming
and diving would not be prohibitive
in cost if 25 or 80 ducks" can be
found who will contribute a dollar or
so. 1t is probable that a paper will
be circulated as soon as an estimate
or the cost can be secured. In the
meantime. If anyone is interested to
the extent of encouraging the move,
he or she is requested to call at the

In His Fathers FOOiSteDS,

Robert Hsrman became the devil"
IN the Republican office on last Monday
morning thus following in the early
footsteps of his father, he having as
youth of eighteen entered the Office of
the Religious Herald at Bland Court
house a number of years ago-so many,
IN fact, that he refuses to state for fear
Of betraying his sge. At the time Mr.
Hsrman began work on the Herald it
was edited by Rev. William Hicks.

churches, and of Attorney ]. W. Hicks.
of Graham, the latter working in the
office at the time as was also Henry
Kits who, until recently, was editor of
the Bluefeld Evening Leader.
1t Is not quite correct to say that Mr..
Harman was ever a devil" At the
time he enter the Herald Office Kits
was the devil" and by the rules of
the game Harman, as tie youngest en-
tered apprentice, should have had the
place; but, a politician from birth, Har-
nan initiated referendum and in the
ensuing election among the employees
Of the Herald was passed to be Jour-
neyman, recalling Kits to the position
Of devil" in the office, much to the lat
ter's disgust
Mr.. Harman, by the way, is the faith
er of the Republican, his first venture
into Journalism in this city being the
tazeweil Index. which lived only 8 short
time, being revived later as the Repub-
lican, which has withstood all the sub
sequent storms of a journalistic career.

Road Changes.

The district board of road commits
sloners for Jeffersonville district, heard
two petitions for changes in the loca-
tion of roads on last Saturday. The
board consists of Supervisor D. B. Dan
iels; commissioners, Joseph Litz and
Joseph Creggar. In the first case from
Thompson Valley, Mr. Creggar was an
interested party end, as provided BY
law, called on Commissioner H. S. Bow
en-, of Clear Fork district, to sit in his
place.
The first petition was from w. F.
Buchanan and others, praying for a
change in the location of the road from
Mountain Gate, (the gate opening into
the road to Poor Valley, through the
lands of Milton and W. A. Thompson
and Mrs. Vicie Witten to BeDbow. The
petitioners were represented by Attor-
ney S. d. May and those opposed by
Attorneys Greeyer and Gillespie. The
commissioners had been over the pro-
posed change, and after argument it
was decided to submit the matter with
out calling witnesses. other than Engi-
neer Charles Graham, to verify the dis
tances of the three routes proposed for
the road. The commissioners decided
on what is known as the Middle Creek
route.
The second petition was by j. r. G..
Brown and others, praying that the
road connecting the Cavitt's Creek and
the Hubble Hill road with that running
towards North Tazewell be located on
the north side of Clinch river from the
junction of the first two named roads to
the upper ford, distance of about l, 100
feet. This was opposed by NJ. L. Peery
and others, who wanted the road to fol-
low the old location between the two
points. After hearing the evidence the
commissioners continued the case until
engineers could make a survey of both
routes for comparison of the cost OF
each.

evening at 1880 o'clock-a victim of

President Taft's and Senator La Fol-
1ette's names were the only ones form
ally presented to the convention. The
votes for the others were cast by dele
gates who insisted on following their
instructions and two who favored JUS
tice Hughes.
In the meantime, followers of Theo-
dore Roosevelt named him on a third.
or progressive ticket, at trump" con-
vention in Orchestra Hall. Mr.. Roose-
welt accepted the nomination. and In
brief speech told his delegates to 20
home, organize State tickets, place a
ticket in each Congressional district
and then call another great national
convention at which he would accept
the nomination at the hands Of pro-
gressives of all parties
In the regular convention Mr.. Taft
was nominated on the first ballot.
Mr.. Taft was placed in nomination
by Judge Harding, of Ohio, who ex-
tolled the virtues of the President and
scored the enemies of the party.
The convention adopted a conserva-
two platform, very similar to the plat
forms of the Republican party in past
years.
The vote on Vice-President was:
Sherman, 597 Borah, 21; Hadley, IA;
Merriam. 20; Beveridse, 2; Gillette, l.
Three hundred and thirty-eight dele
gates were present but did not vote.
Eighty-five were absent
Mr.. Roosevelt's trump" convention
in Orchestra Hall was by far the most
exciting meeting ever held in this city.
1t was presided over by Gov John
son, of California. Among those pres
ent were Senator Dixon, Former Gov.
ernor Fort, of New Jersey; Frank A.
Munsey and all of the Roosevelt dele
gates who were thrown out of the reg
ular Republican convention by the Taft
steam roller.
The Roosevelt delegates who refused
to bolt with him comprised such lead
ers as Governor Hadley, Stubbs and
Borah. They and their delegates re-
mained in the regular Republican con-
vention, but did not vote.
President Taft was Kenominated at
the end of a wild and riotous day which
had produced everything from argu-
ment to fist fights.
The final session of the convention
began at Las, when Senator Roots
gavel whacked the table
The convention had been adjourned
to meet at 10 o'clock, but at that hour
only few delegates were in then
seats. 1t was weary and faded look
ing lot that came slowly into the Coli
scum. Not only had they been getting
little sleep, but the long sessions
meant sandwiches for sustenance until
well along in the evening.
There were few vacant seats in the
gallery when the days proceedings be-
gan and few left their seats through
the long session.
The session was opened with pray
er by John Wesley Hill. He is a
close friend of President Taft and has
been stumping for him. He prayed
ferVently for the President and that
the country might be spared from rev.
clutiol.

Representative Fitzgerald of New York
ascended the stand to speak for Parker.
Like prairie fire through taller grass
ran cracking volley of jeers, boots
ooos. "Oh you canned Cannon Demo-
crat," howled a Texan.
Chairman Mack whacked the stand
with the gavel and then he whacked it
again, getting medder with every
"nack. I'm adjourn this convention
unless we have order" he yelled.
Like the peep of little chicken heard
in the jimson weeds, Fitzgerald said
that Parker did not seek the position.
and therefore he would not Withdraw
mat was about oil for Fitz, who retir-
ed gracefully with scarlet neck. Here
and there there was fist fights. Good
democratic fists landed with souashv
sounds on good democratic noses. Dele
gates from rival states had to be pried
apart and they snarled and spat words
at each other, chin to chin. The Serge
ants-at-arms waded through the mass
and tried TO obtain order by clsppinr
maddened men on the wrists and order
them to behave.
A squad of policemen galioped
through the door with celluIoid cuffs and
collars rafting like castanents an hurl-
ed themselves upon the demonstrative
patriots, who clogged the aisles. While
this was gong on, Chairman Mack an
nounced that the roll call would be
taken.
The roll-coll proceeded at a lively rate.
Here and there a squawk which indicat-
ed that someone had stepped on some
one else's pet corn was heatd and there
was hum or conversation and little
talk that converted the great armory
into very fair imitation OF a beehive
when the honey is ripe for picking.
The roll call was finally finished and
the result announced to be: Parker.

On motion of Luke Lea, of Tennessee.

Judge Parker then attempted to de-
liver his address, but the disorder was
so great that the convention adjourned
until s O'Clock that night, when he re-
sumed his discussion of party PRINCIPLES
and denunciatiou Of the republicans.
During the day, Francis J. Heney. OF
California, Roosevelt lieutenant. and
