THE MASS MEETING.

A mass meeting of the Democra is
of the county has been called for May
18th, Stock Sales Day, to elect dele
gates to the State Convention, which
meets in Norfolk, to send delegates
to the National Convention, which
meets in Baltimore.
The Convention, instead of the
primary plan of selecting delegates
for the reason that a primary seemed
unnecessary. and would be much more
expensive, and further, that there
seems to be no contest as between
candidates if even there is a choice.
Either Wilson or Clark, from all we
can gather, would be entirely accept
able to the Democrats of this section.
Recent developments have tended to
muddy the waters, and as a mater of
fact, we are all Eat sea, - ut this
time. Hence, it appears now, that an
uninstructed delegation will 90 to
Norfolk for the palpable reason that
the boys don't know who they want.
Common sense would seem to dictate
that if people or party does not
know what they want that it is fool
ish to ask them to say what they
want. What will happen, no one can
tell at this writing. What a day may
bring forth no one knows.

A WORTHY CONFEDERATE
SOLDIER

George Washington Asbury, whose
death was reported In our last weeks
Pounding Mill letter, was a worthy
man, brave soldier, and a man of
more than average str ength of char
acter. He has answered the last roll
call and joined the majority of the
Army in Gray with which he fought
and suffered. His life deserves more
than a passing notice. A few facts
concerning his army experience and
history has been handed US. and we
willingly lay this simple tribute upon
his grave.
He Joined the army under Cant.
Thos. E. Jackson in March, 1862.
He was captured at Fishers Hill. the
day of the battle ut Winchester
taken to Fort Delaware, and kent q
prisoner 8 months, until months

When he was captured he wore a
pair of old heavy boots which he had
picked up somewhere, on one of which
was large spur. Being holly pur-
sued, he threw off the boot with the
spur on it, and when captured was
barefoot as to one foot, and in this
condition was marched from Fisher
Hill to maryland. 1t is said that he
did not have pair of shoes or coat
until after Christmas. He never drew
as much as fifty dollars during the
entire time of his service in the

ermy. If money was rendered him
he would accept it, hut is said never
to have asked for it, In politics he
was staunch, uncompromisin &
Democrat, proud of his war record
and of the cause for which he fought.
He was a Joshua Cole type of man,
plain, practical and honest, a man,
though uneducated, well informed,
and until within the past few years
took great interest in what was going
on around him.
The suggestion is made, that out of
respect for and appreciation of the
sterling qualities and character and
deeds of this old soldier, that sim
pie tombstone should be placed at his
grave to mark his resting place. 1t
would be beautiful thing to do. A
small amount from fifty men--a still
smaller amount from hundred peo-
pie, would be ample. Shall it be
done? Subscript ions may be sent to
this office. and will be publicly ac-
knowledged. The Clinch Valley News
will start the list with one dollar. If
not enough is subscribed the amounts
will be returned to the donors.

Carroll County and Sunday
School
SYlvatus. Va. Arr. J

Sylvatus. Va. Apr. 10.
Editor C. v. News:
In an editorial under the caption,
Carroll County and the Sunday
School," in your issue of April 18th,
YOU make this statement in regard to
the recent tragedy at Hilllsvile: elf
these half hundred churches had
been doing their duty these years to
the rising generations as they came
along, there would, in all probable
ity. have been no dark tragedy in
Carroll We admit that our county.
like all others, is not enthusiastic
enough in her religious work, but we
do not attribute the recent atrocious
crime to lack of religious training
alone. Did not Beattie and Richeson
have excellent opportunities for reli
gious training? We think, Mr..
Editor. that the Hillsville tragedy is
the fruit of hereditary decent and
lack of parental training. 1t is a
notorious fact that certain character
istics are peculiar to certain fami-
lies. For instance, Benjamin Frank
Inns kindred were noted for long
evity; the PARIS for the same
| thing, as one of the PARIS died at the
age of 1872; The Fessenden family are
noted for size and strength; Patrick
Henry's ancestors were distinguished
on both SIDES and so were Henry
Clay's. Are not all children illustra-
tions of this law. like parents, lik G
progeny ~ Let us quote from st.
John g al. eye do the deeds of your
father. D." Does not "like produce
like?" "a good tree cannot bring
forth evil fruit Mat. 7:1S. If
the perpetrators of the Hillsville
horror had been given the proper
parental training, that heinous crime
would not have been committed.
Train up child in the way he
should go, and when he is old he
will not depart from it. Prov.
% IS. "She who rocks the cradle
rules the world
1t is true that there are several
communities in Carroll without Sun
day Schools. The reason this is SO is
that perhaps about half of our people
are Primitive Baptists, who are OPP
posed to Sunday Schools. But there
are several "Summer" Sunday
Schools among the other denomina-
tions. with fair attendance. The
writer lives within reach of three
Sunday Schools.
AS to our public schools they are
slowly but surely rising to the stand
ard. There are several graded and
one High School in the county, all of
which are equipped with modern con-
veniences. Our rural school buildings
are Tar superior to any ! saw in
Tazeweil county. Our schools, how
ever, do not run as long as those of
your county. and our teachers are not
paid as well.
We deeply regret that such a de-
plorable deed was committed within
our borders, but we do not. as a
whole, feel responsible for it. We
cannot see how some reporters for
daily papers could conscientiously
write up such falsehoods for publica-
ton as they did. This bloody deed
and the false reports have left a stain
on Carroll that she will never be
able to erase. But her people as
whole are kind. hospitable, intelli-
gent and law abiding citizens.
Yours truly.

Their Monument

Peasant and merchant and million
aire,
/. Soldier and scholar and man of the
sea,
Mourned by the world, they are rest
~ ing where
No towering monument ever NAV
BE-. be;
But the waves that go rolling above
them there. -
where the pitiless fogs hover over
the tide,
Shall never eiface and shall never
impair
The glory they gained when they
manfully died.
With only an hour in which to pray,
Where Death had found them and
would not wait,
They sent the young and weak away,
Intrusting them to the whims of
Fate,
Robbed of hope, they had strength to
stay,
While the helpless ones and the
women went,
And the dark sea, rolling till Judg-
ment Day,
Is their ever-enduring monument.
Peasant and merchant and million
aire,
Soldier and merchant and rousta-
bout,
Ky the torch es fitful and feeble flare,
They manfully swung the life
boats out;
Whispering hope that they might not
share,
They claimed the right of the
strong and brave,
And their fame shall live till the last
men bear
The last of all heroes to his grave.
Christian and Jew aud humble and
high,
Master and servant, they stood, at
last,
Bound by glorious, brotherly tie,
When doubling was ended and
hoping past
They stayed to show how the brave
could die,
While their helpless ones ana
women went,
And the sea that covers them where
they lie.
Is their ever-enduring monument.

WHO LOST

A newspaper account of disas-
trous fire which prevailed in a certain
city not long ago bewails, among
other losses, the destruction of a
church in which was located the
PASTORS study. A valuable library,
land all the PASTORS sermons, the
work of years, was destroyed. The
loss of the church and the pastor $
library was serious and lamentable
loss. AS to the aforesaid sermons
we'll, it's a question. Perhaps no
more good could come to many prea-
cheers, and of course to the cause,
than the discarding .or destruction, if
need be, of all or most If his old SER
mons. In the details of the above fire
it was stated that the fire originated
in the pastors study, and much in
flamable material having collected
there, "the fire was terrific from the
start" Just how much OF the heat
and flame was due to the dryness of
the preachers sermons and manus-
cripts, the reporter did not state.
Perhaps such "mean" thought
never entered mis- mind. But, SER
iously, there is little excuse, except
laZiness, for ministers to preach over
and over again, the same old hyp-
motto, bromide sermons. In many
instances from the bare statement of
the text. firstly, secondly and thirdly
can be nearly exactly guessed by the
auditor. So many ministers fail to
study and keep up. They give out,
week after week, the same old musty
sermons they used in former charges
and fields. OF course, there are many
sermons which cannot be repeated too
often, nor can they we'll be improved
upon, but new dress-new arrange
ment, rev Illustrations, make time
worn text blaze and burn and grin
and move. Now, these "few feeble
remarks" are not intended as a criti-
cism of the splendid body OF minis
tiers and preachers of this country,
but an auditor-a nearer, a man in
the pew, sees things through differ
ent glasses. He hears other auditors
talk, and knows that men and women
in this Twentieth Century-'the cen,
fury of books and wide circulation of
the finest literature-this Goddess.
MISUNDERSTANDING Twentieth Cen
fury, needs the old fashioned truths
eternal, and it needs them badly and
sadly, but to make these truths eff
ective and powerful and moving, they
must be clothed in attractive, new
form and shot out red hot. Not a new
theology, not a new religion, but
the old theology of Sinai and CAL
vary. and "The Old Time Religion. "

Gets 500 Verdict.

a jury in the municipal court Fri
day afternoon returned a verdict of
500 for Henry Reason, a farm
hand, against the Michigan Central
Railroad Co., Reason declared that
he had been put off train near Oak
ley on the evening of June 18, and
claimed the 800 penalty provided
by law.
Reasons contention was that the
return check OF a round-trip ticket
that he purchased before leaving for
Oakley that day, was refused by the
conductor, who stopped the train and
put him off. The company, through
the conductor, tried to- show that the
conductor elected Reason from the
train, not because his ticket was
worthless, but because he was using
bcisterous and profane language.
Under the statute, the conductor is
permitted to do this. Reason, and
his Witnesses. denied that he had
been profane or boisterous,, however.
The jury was out but few minu-
ties. Neil r. Walsh and G. II. Lyon
represented Reason. The company
may appeal the case to the circuit
court.

Speaking of the prosecution of
| trusts, Mr.. Townsend said:
when Theodore Roosevelt was
president, he did more than any of
his predecessors to prosecute the
trusts In the seven and one-half
years that he was president, A of
these suits were commenced. Mr..
Taft has been in Office for not quite
three and one-half years, and he has
started 81 suits. His administration
collected more money in fines. and
sent more men to Jail, under the
trust prosecutions, IN the first two
years of his term, than all the other
presidents combined During the
last two years not single trust or
combine for monopoly has been
formed in the country.
when they tell you that the
trusts don't care about these prosecu-
tions, i want you to remember this.
George w. Perkins, as a member of
the harvester trust was indicted un-
der Sherman law. He was charged
with criminal offense in violating
the law. He is trying to defeat Taft.
Does he care about these prosecut-
lions? Medill Mccormick is in the
same class with Perkins. These men
and others are calling for the repeal
OF the Sherman antitrust law,-they
don't like it. We have trouble get
ting a jury to try these cases,-that's
