Halloween Party.

Burke's Garden, Nov, A
Halloween party was given at
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. e..
Peery, which has broken the
monotony of our quiet life since
so many of the young folks left
for school.
AS the guests arrived at the
party they could see from a dis
tance the subdued lights from
the Jack O Lanterns" whose
dimness enshrouded every nook
and corner in mystery. The
guests were met on the lawn by
a tall ghost that beckoned them
to the entrance, a black robed
figure silently opened the door
and mysteriously points them
up the stair case, illuminated by
a single Jack O. Lantern. When
all arrive. our charming hostess,
Miss Bessie Peery. led the way
to the dining room which was
tastefully decorated with corn.

Sulzer Vindicated

New York, Nov. William
Sulzer, ousted from the govern
orship of New York last month
by verdict of a high court of
impeachment, was elected to the
State assembly today from the
Sixth district by a sweeping
plurality, estimated at 1000 or
more. Sulzer ran on the Progress
sive ticket and apparently polled
more votes than his Republican
and Democratic opponents COM
bined. His old neighbors on the
East. Side rallied strongly to his
support and it was early appar-
ent that he had swamped the op-
position. There was jubilation
unbounded in the former COVER
nor's headquarters as the count
began to record his victory. Sui
zer himself was all smiles. He
regarded his triumph as a per-
sonal vindication, he said, and
issued a statement thanking his
supporters and scoring Charles
n. Murphy, leader of, Tammany
Hall, who ne declared was con-
demned by the vote of the dis

operating with the ladies, fur
nishing machinery, necessary
tools, etc. Give the association
your money or a days work and

drain to the cemetery. The town
council is having TIE grading
and preparatory work done. liz
on this day our friends from the
county will send thnir taonc
and drivers and the gentlemen
of the town give their personal
labor or it's equivalent in hired
labor or money, the ladies will
furnish something to eat for all
partaking in the work, and thus
by united efforts, accomplish
this work. Now is our chance.
we cannot afford to neglect it.
Lets be united in our efforts and
come or send or give, one and
all towards its accomplishment.

TAMMANY LOSES
YORK ELECTION
Mitchell, Fusion Candidate, Swept
into Office by 100000 Majority.
Legislature is Republican.

New York, Nov. 4-Fusion
carried New York city today,
electing John Purroy Mitchell
by approximately rs, 900
plurality, and retaining control
of the important board of esti-
by a safe margin.
Tammany Halls nominee for
the mayoralty, Edward E. Nc
Call, was defeated by one of the
biggest pluralities ever against
a candidate of the organization,
and as late returns came in it
looked as if Tammany might not
even save the New York county
offices. The big vote for Mitchell
pulled through by narrower mar
gins the fusion candidates for
president of the board of alder
men and comptroller, George
McAneney and William A. Prem
dergast, against whom Indepen-
dence League as well as Demo-
cratic organization candidates
were running. Apparently with
the exception of assemblymen in
the districts, which usually 20
Democratic, and minor borough
offices, the opposition to fusion
elected only one of it nominees
e. Connolly, for bor-
ough president of Gu eens.

Not AM old Time Election.

Tuesdays election had little or
10 appearance of the election of
'ol !! times" 1t was entirely too
quiet. With the exception of
s nall groups of people, mostly
from the county, gathered about
the door of the voting place,
there was nothing to indicate
that an election was being held.
The vote polled here was light,
little or no special effort being
made to get out the vote. The
Democrats took little interest,
being assured of the election of
the Democrats on the ticket.
The straightout Republicans and
the Progressives, between whom
the war waged, were very quiet.
Each faction seemed to be afraid
to stir up the other faction, for
fear of precipitating hard battle
which neither faction desired.
The Democrats who favored the
election of Witten, the Prorges-
sive, were equally anxious not
to "stir up a hornets nest" and
hence went about it in a some
what subdued manner.

Letter From an Old Friend.

Gary, Florida, Oct. 27-Dear
Editor: l have just read your
letter dated May 2, 1913, a his
tory of your much appreciated
paper. enjoy it, and one thing
impressed me most, you have
never allowed a whiskey adver-
tisement in your paper. Of
course we don't expect religious
people do such things. yet how
many for the rush of greed,
would reason, II can run my
paper without it." You have,
why not others.
One favor | ask of you. didn't
the Kelly Brothers once edit the
same paper? If so what year did
they go out?! / hope not to ask
any more favors unless | can
subscribe for your paper. And
| must hurry up, before beef
goes up to dollar a pound, for
| will have to save my money to
buy bread or potatoes, and go
out on beef famine. Surely
you editors will be the gamer,
who furnish the news for a
whole year for such little
compensation that when your
neighbors butcher a beef worth
two to five hundred dollars,
would donate at least q ten
pound roast and one pound of
good steak. But while the Lord
reigns, and that will be through
all time, we will have what we
need, if we trust him. | am glad
to know your townsman +. T.
Witten is editing a paper he can
make success if he will.
Many improvements in your
town and county are commend
able. Your better fairs, good
roads and good schools all
through the county, better farm
ing than 20 years ago, but pre-
sumo that that can be yet much
improved upon if you could man
age some way to employ at least

Federal License

Editorials that have been ap-
pearing with encouraging re-
gularity in your columns lately
on "The Man Who Makes Money
Out of It," and other influences
of the liquor business 80 entwin-
ed with business and politics of
this nation, if continued, are
going to "start something"
The thing that our "Uncle
Sam" needs to do, and ought to
do, is to stop issuing federal
licenses in territory where the
people have voted out the liquor
business, then our State need to
follow the lead of the Webb law,
and prohibit interstate shipment
from wet to dry territory. When
such conditions are brought
about, then the brewers and dis
tillers cannot use every device
for the violation of the law in
dry territory; and then hold up,
as an example, such violation to
other communities who desire
to do away with the liquor traffic
as proof that laws against the
liquor traffic are not effective.
And if Golfers can bring
about the stiffening of the back
bone Of the leading newspapers
and business men of this country
who recognize this great Unjust
ice, and yet who are afraid for
business reasons to take stand
in the matter, then Golfers will
have accomplished the greatest
single reform this country has
ever experienced. j. M. Craw-

Clean Sweep in The Ninth.

In the Ninth district, the one

sweep. Buchanan is elected to
the State senate from Washing

Giles and Bland, Lee, Wise and
Dickenson, Scott and Russell.
This promises well for the next
congressional contest. 1t is to
be noted that the stock raising.

The Democrats Did if.

The Democrats did it. Did
what? Why. gave Witten his
vote which beat his opponent in
this county 26 majority. If the
socalhed Progressives had stood
up and voted as they did in the
Roosevelt campaign Witten
would have been elected. The
vote for Roosevelt in the county
last year was 871. Witten lack
ed only 181 of polling as many
votes in the county as did Roos-
evelt. This should crafty him
muchly. The Slemp vote last
year 1923. Mr.. Looney polled not
quite one-half this vote.

The Church And The State.

Please take notice that the
Danvill resolution referred to
the politico-religious power of
the Catholic church, and not to
its Christian creed; for, when
you knock the props from under
the Catholic church you will de-
stroy all Protestant churches
with it.
(Editorial.)
The above clipping is taken
from a letter in the Roanoke
Times, signed d. A. L. Worrell,
which letter is an attempt to
Justify the resolution offered
and passed by the Presbyterian
Synod in its recent session in
Danville, which condemned the
Roman Catholic church for it's
"pernicious activity" in politics
etc. Mr.. Worrell, in about a
column, attempts to show that
the Catholic church is now, and
has beenfrom the days of Con-
stantine corrupt, and should be
put out of business. The point
is, if what Mr.. Worrell says be
true why will knocking the props
from under the Catholic church
destroy all Protestant churches?
Ii the Catholic church and Pro-
testant churches rest upon the
same props" then they must
be corrupt. If not, how can
knocking the props from under
one hurt or weaken the other?

The Facts.

Now, that it is all over facts
are apparent. One is, that the
Democrats voted for Witten,
the Progr essive candidate. Some
Republicans, too, helped defeat
Mr.. Looney in this county. The
Republicans did not vote, that
is, all of them. for Looney. Many
of them did not go to the polls.
AT certain precincts the Republi-
cans were so loyal as to scratch
the entire ticket except the
name of the Republican candid
ate. They must have been, and
evidently were, "old timers"
who still hate everything Demo-
cratic, even Henry Stuart. The
Bull Moose people failed to show
up in any great numbers. If the
Roosevelt crowd of last year had
stood up and out, Witten would
have been elected. Democratic
votes gave Witten his showing.
Mr. Looney's majority is pitt
ably small from a Republican
standpoint when other maiorities
recalled. Have the Republicans
gone where the woodbine twin
eth and the whangdoodle mourn
eth? And then, too, think of it
Yhe was the only Republican
elected in the entire ninth dis
trict, so far as heard from to
datel One lone Republican from
the ninth in the legislature!
The wisdom of Judge Gra-
hams suggestion that j. W..
Chapman run for the legislature
on the Democratic ticket, now
appers. If Mr.. Chapman had
been the candidate against Mr..
Looney other words would be
written here. Mr.. Wilton was
not anxious to make the race and
would not have done so had Mr..
Chapman consented. The time
may come when the Democrats
of the county will carry it in
election by aggressive effort in
stead of waiting to have it hand
ed to them by the Republicans
on a silver platter.
Anyhow, it was quiet,
straight fair election so far as
heard from. Perhaps the most
quiet and the fairest ever held
in Tazewell and we all will stand
by Mr.. Looney and help all we
can as he tries to represent our
great district in the House. And
the wish is here sincerely ex-
pressed that he ns2y succeed in
making himself the best re-
preventative this county ever
had.

size The passing of the worst cl-
ement in politics, and the ascen-

We rejoice especially that in
our own section of n great State
the people are beginning to re-
sent the inefficient leadership,
that has been foisted upon them
in incompetent and voiceless
representatives in the General
Assembly.
From New River to Cumber-
land Gap there is rejoicing, and
graduation. that the ballot is
free and party shackles are
broken. In every county in the |
Ninth district save only Buch-
anan the voice of the people has
been raised against the vicious
system of party nominations for
party purposes.
Beginning in Lee the revolt
has spread to Wise and Dicken-
son, and even in the rock-ribbed,
Slemp-shod county Of Scott, the
people have elected the best man
regardless of party dictation. |
The same in Russell and Giles
and all along the main line from
Bristol to Pulaski. This is a
wonderful and salutary change.
Let us hope that the lesson
taught by this revolution will |
all leaders that the
simple endorsement of party
for party. purposes. so far from
investing candidate with pres
tige, only puts him in the spot

glaring inefficiencies and sub
Jects him to humiliation, and
