night in the Methodist church.
Our Richlands correspondent
says:
Mrs. Hoge has had wide ex-
perience in this work, having

present at several hearings of
temperance bills before our ma

besides having headquarters in
Richmond during the last two
sessions of the state legislature.
She is an interesting speaker and
the public is cordially invited to
hear her."
A collection will be taken at
the Richlands meeting to help in
pushing the work in the State.

HOW HE SECURED
The APPOINTMENT
Mr.. Buchanan Says His Democratic
Friends Induced MIR. Slemp TO
Recommend Him to the President.

A. B. Buchanan, whose ap-
polntment as postmaster at
Tazewell by President Taft a
few days ago, created much
comment as well as surprise in
this section, was seen by q repre-
sentative of this paper who ask
ed him to explain how it was
done--by what gum-shoe methods
he was able to put it over the
other candidates in the way he
did, and if he wished to make n
statement? This is what he said:
There isn't much to say.
When it was reported that Col.
P.endleton was contemplating re-
signing as postmaster, | ap-
preached some of my Democratic
friends whom | knew to be
friends of Mr.. Slelnp and asked
them to see Mr.. Slemp, as to
whether he would recommend
my appointment, as it was very
evident that no Republican could
be confirmed. Mr.. Slemp recog-
nizing the impossibility of hav-
ing a Republican appointed to
the Office, at the instance of my
friends, consented to recommend
my appointment, and he did So"
i wish to state further that
| am the only one of the six ap-
plicants for the Office, who was
in favor of, and .voted for, from
start to finish. instructing our
county delegates to the Norfolk
convention to support Mr.. Will
son for President. "

EMPERANCF CAUSE
GIVEN A BOOST
President Of Virginia W. c. 7. U.
hakes Strong Addresses in ihe
p, County Urging Total Abstinence.

Mrs. Howard M. Hoge, Presi-
dent of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union of Virginia,
delivered an address in the
Christian church here Sunday
night to one of the largest au-
diences seen at Il meeting of the
kind here for some time. The
lady was listened to attentively
for more than an hour. The
nature of her remarks differed
from those usually heard by
temperance speakers, in that she
appealed to the minds of her
hearers, by offering indisputable
facts and figures showing the
effects upon the American people
of alcohol. The lady gave an ac-
count of her recent visit to Port
land, she being a delegate from
Virginia. Mrs. Hoge's address,
in many respects, surpassed any
thing of the kind heard here in
years.
The lady was presented to the
audience by the Rev. Thomas
Campbell, who stated that the
principal drawbacks to the cause
of temperance today were" Appe-
tite, Apathy and Avarice;" that
the Unsuitable appetite for liquor,
the apathy displayed by many
regarding its determination, and
the money that is made from it's
sale were the principal causes
that PERMITTED the sale of the
damnable stuff in this country.
The Rev. G. R. Brown offered
a special prayer for the passage
of the Kenyon bill by the Con-
gress, which bill forbids the
shipment of liquor into dry
territories, and which is soon to
be considered by the Congress.

A. B. BUCHANAN
PUTS ONE OVER
Knocks ''Home-Run," But Before
Reaching Home Plate May Get
Caught on Foul.

Our friend, A. b. Buchanan
stole a march on the boys and
has gotten himself appointed d
postmaster at Tazewell. His ap-
polntment was made by Presi-
dent Taft Il few days apo. and
is now in the hands of the
Senate awaiting confirmation by
that body. Whether or not this
appointment will be confirmed
or like many other of MIR. Taft's
appointments, be held up until
after the inauguration remains
to be seen. Colonel William c..
Pendleton, it is understood, sent
his resignation az postmaster.
to the Department at Washing
ton sometime ago, to be present.
ed at the time this appointment
was made, in the event it was
made. The resignation of post
master Pendleton has been
rumored for sometime, but had
not been made public here,
neither had it been made public
that Mr.. Buchanan's petition
had gone in, and hence the
whole affair came as a surprise.
particularly to the other candi-
dates for the appoi ntment.
Judging from the reports from
Washington few if any of Mr..
Taft's appointments are likely
to be confirmed by the Senate.
On February 4th, last Monday,
the Republicans abandoned hope
of getting any appointments
confirmed, and the report was
sent out that perhaps no further
effort would be made. The num-
Der awaiting confirmation now
is said to be about eighteen hun
dred; Mr.. Buchanan's petition
was backed strongly by the Re-
publicans here, although he is a
Democrat-an insurgent Demo-
crat, however, an "anti-machine'
man, and an enthusiastic Wilson
man. What effort his Republican
endorsements will have at
Washington with a Democratic
Senate remains to be seen. He
had, as it is understood the
hearty endorsement of Mr..
Slemp, the lone Republican
member of Congress from this
district.
In any event, Mr.. Buchanan
has given the boys something to
think about, and has caused
them to sit up and take due
notice thereof.

Wants His Share

Mr.. Editor:-I, as a TAXPAYER
and citizen of Tazewell county,
have rights and feel that | should
be protected; and through your
paper | want to show the public
how the road fund in Maiden
Spring District is being expend-
ed in one particular instance. ]
see where $527.75 has been spent
on what is known as Mcclure
Valley, which | call Mcclure
Hollow, and is only about two
miles long. Five families live on
this road, to-wit: Eliza Shelton,
$ f. Allison, Homer Allison,
Joe Alley, and Geo. H. Lewis,
who all together pay $4. 10 road
tax, while !, who live in Sinking
Waters, and pay $50. 63 road tax,
and live on one of the most pub
lie roads in the county can not
oct one dollar spent on the roads
near me, and the roads are now
in such condition that can not
get out on horseback with safety.
| understand that there was
%75. 90 spent on Sinking Waters
road this last fall. | want to
say further that could have
done the work for 500. 90 and
made good wages. There is the
work to be seen. No one came to
see how the work was done, or
how the money was expended.
This is only one instance | speak
about, but will speak of more
next time.
understand Mr.. Allison did
the work in Mcclure Valley with
his son and Il boy he is raising.
If he worked any other hands, |
would be glad to know who they
were, or how many.
| would like to say further
that this Mcclure Valley runs
parallel with the Baptist Valley
and not over 1.2 mile distant
where they are spending thous-
ands of dollars of the bond issue
money, and further | want to
say, if there was an order Great
ing a road up Mcclure Valley,
the records fail to show it.
hope some one interested
will answer this through your
paper, and give me Il show to
give other facts and figures, as
| feel it my duty.
Yours respectfully,
w. p. PAYNE.

Wanled in Augusta.

w. [. Lee, road engineer in
this county, received notice on
yesterday OF his appointment by
the Road Board of Augusta, as
engineer, TO take charge of the
road work in that county. The
board advises that Mr.. Lee, who
has had about six years work in
that county, coming here from
that work, is the most suitable
man for their work that they
can find. The question of salary
is left entirely with Mr.. Lee to
name. He has reached no de-
cislon, and will confer with MIR.
Wilson, State Highway Commits
sioner, before doing so.
1t would be unfortunate for
the road interests of this county
for Mr.. Lee to leave, and it is to
be hoped he may not accept the
position offered him by the
Augusta people. Since the big
Wilson celebration the Augusta
people have the "big head" and
imagine that they are heirs to
everything good they can get
their hands on. They are re-
spectfully requested to keep
their hands off the road engineer
of this county. Augusta is too
small and obscure a place for
Lee, anyway.

Make The Job Complete

The New York World:
Every Democrat in the Senate
save one went on record Satur-
day for a constitutional amend
ment lengthening the Presiden-
tial term to six years and max
ing the President ineligible to
reelection. A majority of the
regular Republicans voted the
same way. Progressives attached
to the endless-term ambitions of
one man provided the strength of
the opposition.
This makes up a natural di-
vision. The principle of the
amendment is Democratic in
having had the advocacy of
Jefferson, Jackson and Cleve-
land, and the indorsment of the
last Democratic platform. 1t is
Republican in having had the
advocacy of Hayes and Benjamin
Harrison. 1t is not Progressive,
for Progressives in this case
know no principle but only a
person.
But why does the proposed
amendment deal fractionally
with part Of the Constitution? =?
The very next section creates
the Electoral College, which has
twice served to elect President
against the decree of the popular
vote, and which may at any
time bring the country to the
verge of revolution.
The proposed amendment
should abolish the Electoral Col
lege. 1t should also provide that
the President shall take office
within thirty days of his election
and that the term of Congress 8
shall begin likewise.
The country has had enough
OF the dangerous complications
of an outgrown method of elect
ing Presidents. 1t is even more
outraged by a system which
leaves for months in power and
in negative or miscarriage of the
expressed popluar will a Presi-
dent and Congress rejected at
the polls. While about it, why
not make the job complete?

Kentucky Belle" at Cedar Bluff.

The play entitled Kentucky
Belle" was given at the school
building here Saturday, January
25th, under the direction of
Miss Lottie M. Evans, principal
of the school.
The play was a success in
every way and showed the un-
usual ability of Miss Evans.
Each character seemed to have
special aptness for his or her
particular role and showed the
excellent training that had been
given-Miss Williams as heroine
of the play, Isabel Douglass; and
Grant Lowe as John Cason Cor
don alias zach Cason; produced
loud applause from the we'll filled
house, while Miss Stanger as
Miss Maria Douglass; and Mrs.
w. j. Hatcher as Col Mcmillan
occasioned no less enthusiasm;
Miss Lacy Lutrell as Miss Mad
den, nurse, and Lawrence Lowe
as DR.. Blake were especially
suited to their parts, and gained
the honors due their profession.
The linemen Willie and Charlie
Nixon, Walker Rasnic and EN-
nit Brewster touched a tender
chord, in their sympathy for
their injured comrade. Miss
Bessie Russell as Marie Van
Holinger, with her chorus girls,
Misses Eunice Watkins, Lacy
Lutrell, Nellie Grace Hurd, Lucy
Repass, Myrtle Neel and Della
Ascue, entertained the audience
with songs and dancing. The
negro servants, Miss Flora At
well and John Scott played their
part to perfection as did Misses
Lucy Repass and Mayo Hurt as
mother and sister of writer on
Sociology.
To say the entire play fulfilled
expectations is putting it mildly
so we use a more forceable de-
scription when we repeat the
words of an auditor, "The Trail
of The Lonesome Pine" Troup
will be put to shame.
The play will be given at Rich
lands February 7th.
