The Empty Stocking.

What sight or condition more
pathetic, pitiable and deplorable
than that of an empty stocking
at Christmas?
What the child suffers who
wakes on Christmas morning to
be told that Santa Claus had
failed to visit the home, who
can imagine! And yet, there
will be empty stockings and dis
appointed children in this great
world, on Christmas morning
plenty of them. The cities and
large towns in the State, Rich
mond in the lead, are going to
see to it that few if any of the
little ones within their gates,
are disappointed or neglected on
this glad day. How about Taze-
well? Because the town is small
and the community well to do
don't be deceived in thinking
there is no need. There are
children within the sound os the
church bells of this town who
will have no visit from Santa
Claus unless some one loads him
and sends him.

seems. The Board had a meeting
Tuesday to discuss the matter
for the teenth time, but adjourn

hope, this vexations question
of the location of the road from

WOMAN CHARGED
With KIDNAPPING
Miss Alice Davis in Jail For AL
legged Violation of Law in Bring
ing Girl Here From Bland.

Alice Davis, a well known
woman, who lives opposite the
new cemetery, was arrested
Wednesday by city sargeant
Thompson, upon a warrant is
sued by M agistrate Greever, of
Graham, charging her with kid
mapping Millie Davis, seventeen
or eighteen years old, of Bland
county, and keeping her at her
home here. Alice Davis is being
held in Jail here, and will in a
few days be taken to Graham
and given a preliminary hearing
before Squire C. P. Greever.
The warrant was issued upon
the advice of S. w. Neel, of
Bland county, who had been
caring for the young girl, and
it is said had adopted her in
to his family.
The charge of kidnapping,
which has been preferred against
the Davis woman, is punishable
with a severe penalty, under the
federal White Slave Act" but
the federal laws cannot be in
voked in this case, the State
courts having jurisdiction in the
matter.

PHONE COMP ANY
WILLING TO SELL
If Charges Are TOO High, Patrons Can
Operate System Themselves, or
Appeal to State Commission.

In your last issue, you publis-
ed an article entitled "To Or
ganize New telephone Line"
stating that on account of the
excessive charges of the Blue
field Telephone Company, an in
dependent telephone system
would be es Established in Tazewell
County.
have a phone of the Bluefeld
telephone company, and | was
a stakeholder of the old Tazewell
telephone exchange, and l feel
| am able 20 give the citizens of
Tazewell County who need tele-
phone service. some information
on this subject.
There is no business man who
would 60 into business trans
actions blind folded, and those
who desire to establish an in
dependent telephone system in
this county, | presume would be
eager to get all the information
possible on this subject.
The Tazewell telephone ex-
change was operated by local
people for something over five
year; they had about $S000 90
invested in it, snd never made
one cent during the entire five
years. 1t was first operated on a
charge of $500 per year per
phone, and the company was
losing money. The rate was in
creased to SIS per year for resi-
dence phones and S18 for bust
ness phones, and the same
trouble arose at that time as you
state in your article is now pend
ing. Some of the citizens met at
an office in Tazewell County and
proposed to establish an indie
pendent telephone system. One
of the officers of the Tazewell
telephone Exchange, being in
formed of this, offered to sell
out at cost to these citizens who
had had their meeting. Negotia-
tions were started, and culminat-
ed in some of these citizens buy
ing $500 of the stock of the
Tazewell telephone exchange
from G. G. Long. They bought
it at par, and held it until the
Tazewell telephone exchange
was sold out to the Blufield tele-
phone company, which was some
two or three years, and received
for it just what they paid for it,
without any dividend on it. /
am informed that the Bluefield
telephone company is now will
ing to sell that portion of it's
plant that is situated in Taze-
well County at cost less ten per
cent. Therefore, if the citizens
who desire to establish an inde-
pendent system, feel that there
is money to be made or saved in
this business, it would be much
better for them to buy the Taze-
well County end of the Bluefeld
telephone company.
1t is very annoying to have
two telephone systems, for a
great many business men would
have to have two telephones on
their desk, and for my part, l
would prefer paying more for
one telephone than to pay for two
phones and then not be able to
get such service as we are entitl-

O'Brien's Panic Continued.

Editor the News:-About the
only function" left to the ere
mnants" of TIE Republican party
seems to be just now to stand
well out of the way of the pro-
cession of progress and howl
panic. We remember how in
1893 the Interests so long in
control of that party laid at the
door of the White House a lusty
and well grown infant with the
panic mark on the basket, and
how the husky young Republi-
can devil could" howl. We re-
member how these same inter
ests still in control of the same
party tried to fasten the parent
age of another bantliDg of the
same name on Roosevelt when
he trid to loosen their strangle
hold on the throats of the people.
And when we remember that
when every "panic" in our
history has "been called off" by
these same Interests still in con-
troll of this same party, the list
of millionaires had been doubled
in number, and the list of pitiful
paupers increased.
That's the way "panics" are
created and their results manip-
ulated to feed the greed of the
panic makers-the interests.
/ have found that Crrockett's S
Almanac and other authorities
define Senile as one mentally Il
physically "imbecile." Now, ]
leave it 10 the people threatened
with dire clamitiey to say which
is Senile, the man who predicts
a panic in the midst of I'm.

who "insists" that calamity
