fected for laying the cornerstone

previous occasions. The Knights
Templar lodges of Graham and
Tazewell will act as escort.
Music will be furnished by the
members of the Eastern Star,
assisted by others of the city.
Hon. A. j. Montague, the
speaker for the occasion, will

to the High School chapel, where
Mr.. Montague will deliver his
address. After the address, din

Has Witten Got EN- Guessing?

The Several members of the
Republican county committees
of Tazewell and Buchanan were
in conference here Tuesday,
arranging for the campaign for
the Legislature. 1t is reported
that E. H. Witten's activity and
the strength he has developed
in the two counties is giving the
regular Republican organization
no little concern, and that means
were discussed for turning the
tide. Mr.. Looney, the Republi-
can nominee is detained at his
home at Grundy on account of
the illness of his wife, and was
not able to meet with the COM
mittee Tuesday.
Mr.. Witten, the Progressive
Republican candidate, has been
canvassing the county for the
past ten days and is receiving
many assurances of support.
1t is now pretty well establish
ed that the Democrats of the
county will have no candidate
for the legislature, as the 20 day
limit expired yesterday. 1t was
reported on the street this week
that attorney w. nj. Minter was
seriously considering announc-
ing himself as the Democratic
nominee for the Legislature,
but his announcement has not
yet been made public.

SiIberger Captured

Edward Silberger, the Poca-
hontas assistant postmaster,
who stoled about $4,000 from
the postoffice in that city about
two weeks ago was captured in
Cleveland, Ohio, last Tuesday
morning at the home of his
mother, where he fled shortly
after the robbery. He will be
brought here today or tomorrow
and will be given a preliminary
hearing before u. S. Commits
sioner T. A. Gillespie at Cedar
Bluff, and will likely be detained
in Jail here until the next term
of federal court is held for the
western district of Virginia.
1t is stated that a large part of
the money has been recovered,
the young man having it in his
possession when arrested.
Silberger's capture was effect
ed through watching his wife,
who was living at the time at
Northfork. She soon followed
her husband to Cleveland, not
knowing that secret service
operatives were watching her
every move.
The cause of Silberger's down.
fall was that he was living be-
yond his means. If convicted
he will be sentenced to from one
to five years in the federal pris-
on.

Editor Clinch Valley New :
In your last weeks issue are
two short articles presumably
from your pen Made the atten-
dance larger, and "straining at
a gnat." In the minds of w. C.
I. U. folks, these quips make
your position on the whiskey
question uncertain. In effect you
say that the best way to in
crease the sale of vicious,
immoral book, is to denounce it.
If you wanted to stamp it out,
what would you do-indorse it,
or nothing at all?
If the State Fair Association
see fit to engage in the VIII. skey
traffic, and stick a saloon "away
back under the gran stan !"
with a sufficient number of
police officers around to corral
the output, and if the organized
temperance sentiment of the
state after appealing to the
officials of the Association and
to the courts, and beseeching
them in vain not to allow tn s
|in.quity to find lodgment in the
recognized objects and aims for
which the Fair was instituted;
if under these circumstances
the temperance people of the
state as a last resort resolved
! not to encourage and support
the evil by their presence and
money; if this course according
to your dictum cit is said," in
creased che attendance and gate
fees, and eliminated in injury
to the cuase they aimed to help,
and strengthened the evil they
aimed to destroy, what would
you do about it? Can you re-
commend any aggressive policy
against the saloon that will not
work injury according to "It is

OUR SISTER TOWN
MOVING UPW ARD
Has Industries Galore With Pros.
pects for Fore and Largest Road
Making force, Mostly

North Tazewell, Oct. 16. 1913.
About two hundred people
have been busily engaged here
for a week or two in rearranpinp
the streets and alleys of the
town, About twenty-five of the
two hundred are on Mr.. Cooper's
payroll and the other hundred
and seventy-hve have been bust
ly experimenting the work, and
prognosticating a big future for
the town.
The last of the complicated
machinery for the big packing
plant is being installed as rapid
ly as possible, and it is said.
that active operation will begin
in a few weeks. The packing
machinery and appliances are
up to date and the location is
thought to be ideal from every
point of view. With the compile
tion of this plant our little town
will have more labor giving in
dustries than any town of its
population in the State. We al
ready have two big wholesale
houses, each requiring number
of employees, big planning mill
giving work to several skilled
men, up to date roller mill, an
active and remunerative lime
plant, an electric light and pow
er plant, to be soon enlarged and
an ice factory. Aside from this
several industries are projected
in the near future-one a chair
factory with a perambulator an
mex, to provide for the large and
rapidly increasing infant in
dustry" of this place and the
suburban town of Tazewell.
That irrepressible merchant Mr..
H.G. Peery is having the ground
broken for another building i'm
rear of the Big Supply Companys
store but as yet it is not known
what the character of the new
structure is to be, but it will
probably be of brick or stone, as
the town council has decided
that no more wooden buildings
will be permitted on this the
main street of the town.
The syndicate of capitalists who
recently purchased the Bailey
property in the west end had a
meeting on the premises last
week and it is whispered, that
they are expecting spectators
from the East who are looking
for suitable site for big in
dustrial plant with room for
houses for a colony of skilled
workmen. Your reporter en-
deavored to get detailed infor-
nation in this behalf from Mr..
J. Newton Harman. but for the
first time in his life that genle-
man was reticent." He evil
IDENTIFY had something up his
sleeve.

DIR. {. T. WILEY'S
FAREWELL SERMON
Makes Able Address in New Meth
odist Church on "The Nantes
tation of Christ 10 the World"

DR.. E. E. Wiley preached his
farewell sermon in the new
Methodist church here Wednes-
day night. The church was we'll
filled by members of the various
denominations of the town and
the ministers of the several
churches. DR.. Wiley's sermon
was pronounced as one of the
best efforts of his life, and a fit
ting climax to a successful term
as pastor here.
The subject of the sermon was
"The Manifestation of Christ to
the World" based upon the text
"All Men Seek for Thee"
The speaker discussed the
theme under the following
First-Christ manifested in
the systems of philosophy, in
which it was shown that the
development of these systems
was distinctively toward the
truth taught by the Son of Man,
and that this development would
continue until every thought
would be brought into captivity
to the obedience of Christ"
Second-Christ manifested in
the literature of the past, The
greatest of the productions of
literature singularly set forth
} esus Christ and reveal him as
the hope of the human race. A
number of quotations from
Shakespeare were given, all in
volving the idea of the gift of
Christ as ransom for SHINING
world. Milton's Paradise Lost
and Paradise Regained were al
luded to; also Browning's Saul,
which is an old Testament
prophecy of the coming and
character of Christ.
Third-Christ. manifested in
the founding and development
of political governments. The
speaker made especial reference
to the discovery of America by
Columbus, whose first act after
landing was to plant a cross in
the sand to name the new land
San Salvador" which means
Saint Saviour" and to the fact
that the United States was set
tied principally by men who
came to these shores to enjoy
the freedom worship and Chris
tian service.
The final thought was that of
the spiritual presence of Jesus
Christ in the world today. To
every seeking mind and anxious
spirit he reveals himself, and
silently ministers to the needs
of men.

Charles w. Bailey Killed by
Engine

Tip Top, Va, Oct. 18th, 1913.
Editor Clinch Valley News:
Charles w. Bailey, a well
known citizen of st. Clair, was
killed instantly on the railroad
track, within so feet of his own
home ON Saturday night at 8 p.
M, by a light engine going west,
Theodore Johnson, engineer.
The unfortunate man had been
brought up from Graham by
Henry Lawson and had gone
through the gate at his mail box
at the railroad crossing, when
from some unknown cause he
had gone west up the track, and
was struck by the engine, on
the head and his brain crushed
out in a moment. Mr. C.. A.
Wagner n brother-in-law was
notified at once and was on the
road to Bluetield with the body
when he was met by an ambul-
ance, and taken to the Hawkins
undertaking parlors where his
body was prepared for burial,
which will take place today, in
the old Mcdowell cemetery at
st. CLAIR.
Charley Bailey was a man of
fire intellect, and no better
neighbor lived in the community
He is survived by his widow
who is n daughter of the late
David N. Wagner and two
children, Crockett Bailey, a
mining engineer of Davy, W.
Va, and Mrs Mamie Neel, wife
of Chas. Neel of Rcihlands, Va,
9th Of whom are with their
mother and with her are suffer
ing their awful calamity. Much
could be said of the kind and
benevolent dead husband and
father, but we refrain on account
of space.
VIM. Peery's wife has been
quite sick for some time, but
was slightly better at last re-
ports.
There have been several cases
of Diphtheria in the Bailey
neighborhood on the north of
Stoney Ridge lately but most all
have recovered, under the treat
ment of DR.. Pyot.

Charts and Maps


Richmond, Va, Oct. Is, 1913.
Vital statistics complied dur
ing the last year by the State
Board of Health are being utiliz-
ed in the preparation of charts
and maps by which the next
General Assembly will be able
to see how disease is spread
o. er the State and where the
war for better health must be
pressed more vigorously. The
Board Of Health, which now has
the first set of scientific vital
statistics for twelve months
ever collected in the State, has
tabulated the returns from the
birth and death certificates for
it's annual report and will COM
plete its maps based on these
cetilicates in time for the meet
ing of the General Assembly.
Some of the charts, it was ex-
planned at the Offices of the
Board today, will be interesting
to the general public as we'll as
to legislators and physicians.
Among them will be a chart
showing the number and distri-
button of homicides in the State
during the last twelve months
This is the first time these
figures have ever been prepared
and their total is said to be
somewhat surprising. Another
chart will show the number of
suicides in the State and the
counties where they occurred.
Still another will demonstrate
the number of accidental deaths
in every county and city in the
State.
Other charts will show the
mortality from the various pre-
ventable disease, typhoid fever
diphtheria, scarlet fever, small
pox and the like, while one chart
will be devoted to a graphic re-
presentation of pellagra.
The Board, which is anxious
to make complete the registra-
tion of births and deaths in the
State is also preparing a series
of charts shows the percentage
of births to total population in
all the counties and cities of the
State. While no figures have yet
been given out, it was stated al
the Offices of the Board today
that at least two counties of the
Commonwealth would show a
birth-rate which would delight
the heart of the enemies of race
suicide. One county, indeed. is
said to have one of the highest
birth-rates ever reported in the
history of vital statistics, "a
rate about double that Of more
settled communities.
Such of the charts as are COM
pleted and mounted by next
week will be shipped to Lynch
burg for the annual meeting of
the Medical Society of Virginia,
but the full list will not be dis
played until the meeting of the
General Assembly in January.
