heap OF ashes representing investments
totalling half million dollars The
town was compactly built, the build
ings were all Of wood and the flames,

almost before the occupants could get
out of the way.
Men. women and children fought
brayely against the fire but their

Roman possesses no fire protection;
the buckets of water that were thrown
in the path of the fire might as well

the most unfortunate features of the
disaster is the fact that most of the
loss will be borne by young men who
seized the opportunity presented by
the reservation opening n few years
ago and invested Their all with the
fortunes of the little city.
No Lives Lost.
Thanks TO the fact that the fire
started during the middle of the day
no lives were lost. There were sew
eral narrow escapes, but no one was
killed or even severely injured. Nor
are any OF the sufferers In serious

Against Slennp

Richmond. Va, Aug. 30.-Th G
Bristol correspondent of the Richmond
Evening Journal today wired that
paper az follows:
Bristol, Va. Aug. 80. -That the
rank and file of the Bull Moose party
of the Ninth District will not line up
behind Slemp was the opinion ex-
pressed by number of prominent
Bull Moose leaders before they left
Bristol Thursday following the Bristol
convention. In fact, a number of the
prominent leaders openly assert that a
trick was worked on them by Slemp's
friends, although they do not claim
that the young Congressman was not
sincere in his desire to retire.
A prominent citizen of Pulaski
county declared that the Republicans
of his county were against Slemp on
account of his course in forcing the
instruction of delegates from the
Ninth district to the Chicago conven-
ton for Taft, when the sentiment of
the party was overwhelmingly for
Roosevelt. He said that the Republi
cans of his county did not want man
as the candidate who helped put over
Taft's nomination and that they would
be heard from in November.

One of the most prominent men of

the people of his county were against
Slemp. He said that in his county in
the election last fall every Republican
candidate, with one exception, was
defeated, and that their defeat was
attributed to the general belief that
they were controlled by Slemp.
1.-THE day when elections can be
won by shouting Cleveland soup

to vote for the man who is progress
sive and they are against the stand

grave mistake and endangered party
success by failing to heed The warn
ing from every section of the Ninth
and by failing to nominate a Progress

The Democratic leaders are conf
dent of General Ayers election. They
know that the Republicans are split
in nearly every county in the district
and they believe that hundreds of
Roosevelt Republicans will refuse to
vote for man who helped to nomi-
nate Taft at Chicago and who is
charged with having their vote re.
corded for him when they were over
wheimingly against him.

AFTER FARMER VOTE.

Mr.. Roosevelt told the Vermun,
farmers, in his recent speech, that
the tariff policy of the Democrats il
carried out, will ruin the farmers by
lowering the price of their products,
Admit for the moment. that the tar.
if on certain importations would re.
duce the price few cents bushel ol
hundred pounds. the reduced cost OF
farm machinery and supplies necessary
would more than make up the differ
ence. 1t was not convenient or wise,
perhaps, for Mr.. Roosevelt to present
this phase of the matter. He was
after the farmer vote, but he should
have gone after it honestly.
