TIP TOP HOTEL
PROPERTY SOLD

The property of the Iron Lithia
Springs Company. near Tip Top. was
sold at public auction last Saturday
to Joseph Keys and E. A. Thurman,
of Roanoke and John Walters, of
Bluefeld. The sale was held to sat
isfy deed of trust held on the prop
erty by the Bank of Athens, w. Va.
for $500 The property brought
So, 100. The sale was conducted by
M. A. Lowe. trustee of the bank.
The purchasers of the property
have made an offer to the old stock
holders, who wish 10 retain their
holdings, of paying an additional 20
per cent. 1t is supposed that a great
many of the old stockholders will
take advantage of this opportunity
to save themselves. The new owners
propose to have the buildings In
readiness at an early date for the re-
ception of guests for the summer,
and arc on the lookout now for man
to take charge of the hotel for the
summer.
The TIP Top hotel property, which
embraces the famous iron lithia
springs. has been an unsuccessful
venture since its inception. The late
Alfred Tiller was the original pro-
moter of the hotel, and il his plans
could have been carried out the hotel
would have been one of the most de-
sirable summer resorts in the county.
The medicinal properties of the water
are the same today as then, and the
means Of travel to the hotel from the
railroad will soon be greatly i'm
proved, and there appears no reason
why the property should not be made
mountain summer resort that cannot
be surpassed in the State.

Nothing Wrong About The Lynch
burg Results

The Clinch Valley News il strongly
of the opinion that improper nnu-
ences are operating in the Democratic
party of Virginia to bring about the
election of an uninstructed delegation
to the Baltimore convention, and that
the move is but n device to secure the
support of Virginia's representation
for Underwood or Harmon. Our con
temporary even cites report to the
effect that money has been offered
from an outside source to n promi-
nent citizen of Tazewel with asview
of aiding in the work of having that
county send an uninstructcd delega-
ton to Norfolk. The article in the
Cinch Valley News concludes: "The
offer of corruption Doodle is evidence
of intended fraud. The cloven hoof
has shown itself in Lynchburg, Dick
enson county and elsewhere. Let the
Democrats of Tazewel take warning
and refuse to walk into the trap 80
adroitly set and concealed. The only
way of escape is to instruct our
delegates NOT to support Underwood
or Harmon.
No cloven hoof has been shown in
the Democratic politics of this city.
While the News IS friendly to the
candidacy of Woodrow Wilson and
believes that the logic of the situa-
ton demands his nomination, it yet
feels constrained to say that the de-
feat of the Wilson candidates here
in Lynchburg for seats in the Nor
folk convention was fairly encom-
passed. True we advocated primary
for the naming of these delegates,
and if that method Of selection had
been employed, we believe that
Lynchburg would have followed
Roanoke's example and endorsed New
Jerseys Governor for the Presidency.
But the city committee had jurisdic-
tion in this matter. and we have no
reason to doubt that it proceeded
from an absolutely honest conception
of its duty. Moreover the Wilson men
turned out in force, more than two
hundred strong, at the mass meeting,
and had their fair chance to control
its action. They but needed major
ity to do this-but they didn't have
it and hence lost out, taking their
defeata good losers should.
The News is at pains to give this
subject somewhat extended mention,
because of its earnest conviction that
Lynchburg political contests are fair
ly and honorably conducted; because
the city enjoys, as it deserves to en-
joy, an enviable distinction as place
of political cleanness and fair play /;
and because we do not wish to see its
prestige in this respect impaired as
q result of rumors based upon mis-
leading and mistaken publications. -

Truth About Taft.
From the New York World:


We have always admired Mr..
Roosevelt for his judicial tempera-
mcnt, his exquisite sense of Justice
and his extraordinary self-control,
but there are times when his modera-
ton of speech becomes vice. For
example, he made public n statement
yesterday in which he said:
"a vote for Mr.. Taft Is vote for
the bosses; il is vote for Lorimer,
for Penrose, for Guggenheim, for
Gallinger and for all the rest"
This il n ridiculous under-s sta te-
ment. The undeniable fact is that u
vote for Mr.. Taft is vote for the
McNamaras it is vote for Richie
sonh; it is vote for Sidna Allen;
it is vote for the Coatesville lnych-
ers; it is vote for Capt. Kidd, and
for the lady that chopped up Gulden-
suppe, and for Bcattie, and for Ned
Lyons, the bank sneak and for
"BIinky" Morgan, who is also dead,
and for Paddy the Pig, and for the
Black Hand and for murder, arson,
burglary. piracy, embezzlement,
grand larceny, treason and bad corn
crop.
Mr.. Roosevelt has no moral right
to sacrifice the Progressive cause by
trying to conceal the truth about the
President. Duty above friendship.

Anything TO :
DEFEAT WILSON
No Move Too UnSGrupuI0us For
His Opponents.
PLOT TO PARCEL STATES.
Supporters Of Underwood, Clark and
Harmon Divide tho Union to Suit
Themselves In Desperate Effort to
Turn Back lido Setting In Favor 81
Now Jersey Governor.
Newark On. ~ Evening News.l

Newark IN. j. Evening News.l
The charge made by friends OF
Woodrow Wilson that there Is Il COM
bination on the part of the supporters
Of Clark, Underwood and Harmon to
defeat the New Jersey governor ut tho
Baltimore convention has substantial
evidence to confirm 1t.
1t is charged that the states have
been apportioned among the three can
didates. Clark is to make the fight In
Iowa, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Kentucky,
Oklahoma, Kansas. California. New
Jersey and Illinois; Underwood In
Georgia, Florida, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Mississippi and Lou
islana, and Harmon In Texas, New
York, Delaware, tho New England
states, Pennsylvania, Ohio and ada
cent states.
Harmon Instead of Clark would have
been chosen to lead the fight in New
Jersey had he not refused to run In
the home state Of any other candidate.
The primaries In Kansas and Okla
homa have already been held, and In
both the contestants We're Clark and
Wilson. In Illinois only Clark peti-
lions have been filed In opposition to
Wilson. In Florida the name of Har-
mon has been withdrawn, and news
papers that were supporting him have
substituted Underwood as their can.
didate. In Wisconsin, where Harmon
was supposed to be strong, his name
has been withdrawn In favor OF Clnrl1.
This may not be absolutely conclu.
sive evidence Of IN understanding
among the three candidates named,
but 1t is pretty strong evidence.
While such combination of forces
can hardly DO considered fair play, II
is characteristic of the influences that
are opposed to the nomination of Gov.
ernor Wilson. They care little who
the candidate Is so that It is not VII.
son, and they are ready TO adopt any
methods that will assist In bringing
about his defeat.
1t IS not necessary to assume that
Messrs. Clark, Harmon and Under.
wood are parties to what looks Sc
much like n deliberate conspiracy. In
this fight for the presidential nomina.
ton, they are little more than lay fig.
ures manipulated by powerful, but un
seen, forces. Their putative managers
are merely dummy directors, so to
speak, who probably do not realize
themselves that they are being used rs
catspaws for interests that see in the
election OF Woodrow Wilson menace
to their selfish and undemocratlc pur
poses.
That 1t should be necessary to make
such a combine as Is alleged is q con
fession of Governor Wilson's strength
If he shall be nominated 1t will be
the greatest victory over the allied
forces OF machine politics and privileg
cd business ever achieved by n presi
dental candidate. for even William j
Bryan has always had the party ma
chine with him, except in 1896, when
his nomination was brought about by
accident.

Mr.. Werth a Delegate.

Editor News III have just read an
article in your paper advocating the
election of Hon. VIM. H. Werth, of
Tazewell as one of the delegates
from the Ninth District to the Nat
ional Democratic convention, which
will assemble in Baltimore, June
25th. l most heartily concur in the
sentiments voiced in that article.

number him as one of my friends.
have no hesitancy-in saying that his
election as delegate to the National
Convention. which in my humble
opinion, will be one of the most
momentous that has assembled since
1860, would reflect honor and intelli-
gence on the myriad hosts of Demo-
crazy of the Old Fighting Ninth.
Mr.. Werth possesses all the char
acteristics which the Epeople demand
in public ervant-honesty, faith
fitness and intelligence. No more
militant or answering Democrat is
to be found in the metes and bounds
of the district than he. He is to be
admired for the bold and fearless
manner in which he expresses his
onvictions. If we could have the en-
tire delegation from this State COM
posed of such men as VIM. III. Werth,
! would be perfectly willing to see
them go uninstructed, and would
have no appehensions but that they
would act for the best interest of the
Democracy of Virginia
AS one of the delegates from
Dickinson county to the, State con-
vention, it will be my pleasure to
work and vote for the election of Mr..
Werth as one of the delegates from
my old District. ~

Personally we'd be inclined to rem

an innocent third party 1t was just
