STUDY BIBLE AS WHOLE.
That is Way to Appreciate Its Beau
ty, Says Or. c. Alphonso Smith.

Lexington, Va, Nov. DR. c. Al
phonso Smith, professor Of English a.
the University of Virginia, was, the
principal speaker at last weeks se5-
sion of the student Y. NJ C. A, confer
ence being held at Washington and
Lee University. Dr.. Smiths subject
was "The Bible, and he handled it in
such a manner to hold the attention
of the large audience.
DR.. Smith deplored the tendency
toward specialization in the study OF
the Bible, in reading it part by part,
rather than as whole truth, by which
method the larger vision of the beauty
of the Book as whole is lost. LET
us look at the Bible as a unit" said
the speaker, "and we marvel at the
variety of the forms Of literature pos
sible, except the novel, are contained
in it. 1t is the only book which OF
fers common platform on which both
high and low can meet, which has
community of interest and of lofty
idealism."
The speaker summed up as the
characteristics of the Bible from a
literary standpoint its unity Of sub
iect matter, the individuality OF It's
various books, and the variety Of rs
forms of discourse. In the beauty
and marvel of its English it has no
parellel in the English language. It's
variety is the outward expression OF
its unity; through fifteen centuries
sixty-six books, thirtysix authors,
have one message, one splendid ideal
ism, which has led to a new and inner
conception of life.

ATTEMPTED VOTE SELLING.
Money and Whiskey Said to Be
Used by Slemp's Friends.

Norton, aV., Nov. 5;-That both
money and whiskey are both being
used in this county by close political
friends of c. B. Slemp to further the
cause of the chies is no longer doubted
by men who are watching the situa-
ton closely. Two instances have come
to light within the last, two days.
The first of this week an envelope
containing a crisp five Collar bill was
slipped into post office in this county
addressed to Republican worker in
another part of the county. Ac-
companying the five dollar bill was
note with these words:
"Te be used with the best interests
of Slemp" and signed Unknown
friend"
In town in this county only Sat-
urday, a package marked "Glass, han
die with care" was taken from the To-
cal express Office by the local dray-
man for delivery to local Republl-
can voter, who refused to accept 1T.
These facts and others with the
names of the parties concerned have
been reported to the fair elections sec
rotary and will doubtless form the
foundation for some interesting de-
velopments in Judge Skeen's court.
Big Stone Gap. Va, Nov. 5.-Sat-
urday was day of excitement here in
political cirles over the alleged dis
coveries of vote buying by Republi-
can. The Democrats calm to have
pat evidence of at least three cases
here, where money was received in the
last few days by floaters or Repubh-
can workers through the mails.
In one letter was five dollars, in an
other ten dollars, and In another twen-
! ty-fve dollars. There was either no
explanation accompanying the money
or unsigned letters telling the reci-
pient to put the money where it would
do the most good.
/ Democrats openly charge that these
3sums were furnished for corruption
purposes either by the Republican
headquarters here or the Republican
officeholders and others who are con-
tributing in this way to Slemp's cam
paign fund. They say further that
this and other evidence indicate
concerted and widespread effort of
the Republicans to violate the cleo
Btion laws.
All the parties implicated in the
three cases named and in all others
yet to be brought to the surface will
\ be promptly summoned before the
Wise county grand jury and a full in
vestigation will be had.

No Bruises on Wife's Body.

Harrisonburg, Va, Nov. 5.-Tho
prospects of Joseph Frazier, the Is
land Ford man, charged with the muir
der of his wife, frightened consider
ably yesterday when Coroner Biedlcr
and Undertaken Fultz announced that
they had disinterred the body of the
dead woman, but were unable to find
the bruises which several witnesses
testified they had seen at the time
they were preparing the body for
burial, and which were alleged to have
been made by the prisoner, who was
charged with knocking his wife down
and kicking her when her babe was
but three days old, because, it IS said,
she was too weak to work and cook
for him.
Mrs. Cora Dugan testified that Mrs.
Frazier on her deathbed told Of hoia
husbands brutality and made her
promise to keep quiet until after she
was dead. A little son Of Frazier's
also testified that he saw his father
strike his mother.
The disinterment Of the body,which
was buried four weeks ago, took
place Sunday afternoon at Island
Ford. Decomposition had set in, but
the coroner says that if ever there
had been any bruises on the body they
would now be visible. This is re-
garded as strengthening the claim Of
the defense that death was caused by
blood poisoning, due to natural causes.

Report Almost Ready.

Whether the oysters in the Potomac
are fit for food or not will be deter
mined by chemists and psychologists
of the Department of Agriculture to-
dav. According to the Bureau OF
Chemistry, the results of the gov
ernment's end Of the investigation
will be completed today, but will not
be made public until the results o.
tanned by chemists and psychologists
who conducted the Investigation in TIE
interest of Virginia and Maryland also
are made known.
Virginia and Maryland oystermen
contended that the results obtained
on the first examination by the De-
partment of Agriculture did not truly
represent the conditions of the river
water and oysters. Upon their pro-
tests the investigation was rcopened,
and a commission of experts was ap-
pointed to make a second invest!%a-
ton.

Transcontinental Highway.

Richmond Nov. 5.-Not to be out
done by New York, Chicago, or any
other Western or northern city in the
effort to secure a transcontinental
highway to take inRichmond and 9th ~
Virginia cities in the route, the cham
Der of commerce has set on foot 4
movement designed to interet many
cities overland from Los Angeles to
Hampton Roads.
There are already several routes in
contemplation. They each carry Chi
cago as the central point and New
York as the Eastern terminus.
Believing that the people along the
route proposed by the local chamber
of commerce will readily see that a
route farther South must prove invit-
ing and acceptable by reason of eli
matte conditions, the chamber has
directed Secretary Dunlop to get into
touch with the business associations
in the cities along the proposed route,
SO that concerted acton may be
taken.
There is a great revival in good
road work throughout Virginia ami
the States of the West, \ route a:
suggested by the Richmond chambe
of commerce would be gladly wei
coined, not only by the tourist, but
by the business and commercial world,
as we'll as the farmer.

1t is this feature of baseball
which Representative Thomas
Gallagher's bill will hit if con-
gress doesn't let the fire of inves-

Bush and Sweeney, as human
beings with something to sell,
claim they are entitled to dispose
of their goods at the highest pos
sible figure, but are restrained be-
cause they Belong" to the De
troit and New York clubs, which
refuse to pay the price asked.
The reserve rule prohibits the
players taking their wares to
other markets. Were Sweeney
and Bush free agents they could
easily find clubs willing to pay
what they demand.
Possibly they will be offered
contracts by one of the so-called
outlaw leagues" but it is doubt
full if either organization can pay
the salaries the players consider
themselves worth.
Neither Sweeney nor Bush is
under contract, but are ere

them free agents and they have a
legal right to sign with whom
they please. The reserve rule was

Marcellus J. Dow of Brooks will be
a candidate for Senator at the special
election to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Senator Pendleton of
Islesboro, and his papers were filed
with the secretary of State last Tues
day, as required by law. We do not
hear of any other Republican candi-
date. Mr.. Dow is too well known by
the people of Waldo county to call for
introduction or eulogy. He has long
been active in the order 81 Good
Templars, and in the Grange, is a
farmer and a business man, and good
citizen in every sense of the word.
He has served one term in the Legis-
lature with credit to himself and to
his constituency. He is a Republican
from principle and has never wavered
i'll his political faith. The interests of
Waldo county will be safe in his
hands.
f. F.. Hanson of this city is said to
have filed his petition as a Democratic
candidate. He is too well known in
this city, in Chicago. and elsewhere to
call for further mention.
