HObSON EXPECTS
TO Be SENATOR
Expects 10 be Elected United
States SeDatof in Alabama
TO Succeed Johnston

Montgomery, Ala, July 12.-Capt.
Richmond Pearson Hobson, congress
man from the Sixth Alabama district,
is confident that he will be elected
70 succeed Joseph +. Johnston in the
nited States senate. Senator Johns
TONS term will not expire until March
1915, but the primary to select his
successor will be held next year, so
the campaign for the toga is already
on. The indications are that it Will
be a straight-out fight between Johns.

Capt. Hobson already has stumped
a large part Of the state and he plans
to continue an active and aggressive
campaign until the date Of the prim-
airy election. In making formal an
nouncement Of his candidacy for the
senate he outlined his policies as
follows: The uRbuilding Of the navy,
Improvement in the education 81, the.
masses, a vigorous policy Of develop.
Ing the states resources, and, in gem
eral, the restoration Of the govern
ment to the hands Of the people and

serve special interests, especially
those who do the bidding of sinister
liquor interests and depend for their
success upon the debau9lbR Sof the
morals of the people amt the c0rrup-
ton Of the electorate.
In his fight for NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Johnston is standing. on "a platform
constructed Of his military record and
public service. He is a defender OF
corporate interests against radical
legislation, does not readily fall in
with pyrotechnic reform movements.
and advocates local option as a safe
method Of handling the a%ggravating
liquor problem in Alabama.
At first glance it would seem that
Hobson stands little show Of success
against the veteran Johnston, The
latter has the prestige that is natu'

who admittedly outclasses

Bapkhead, who admittedly outclasse:
Johnston as a veteran canpaigner
and astute politician. In his contest
with ,Yobson Bankhead possessed the
advantages of a Confederate record
a, public career covering forty years
or more, and strong political connec'
lions and powerful family Influences.
Despite these Advantages, young Hob
son, In what was virtually his first
whirl at practical politics, won the
nomination and election.
Hobson's chief asset is his ability
as stump speaker. While far from
possessing any power of OratOry, he
seldom fails to make a favorable in
preston on his audience, not SO much
BY force of argument as by his ap.
parent earnestness, and u%ndoubteds en-

Famous Virginian Dead

Captain John S. Wise, for
many years one of the best
known and most brilliant lawyers
in this State, died on Monday
in Maryland in the summer
home of his son, Henry A. Wise,
where he had been under treat
ment. 1t is said the immediate
cause of his death was pneu-
monia. He was in the 9th year
of his age. Burial of the remains
took place in Richmond.
He was a son of Henry A.
Wise and Sarah Seargent, and
was born in Brazil, his father
being minister from the United
States to that country. Henry
A. Wise was also Governor Of
Virginia and served the State
as Congressman. Henry A.
Wise, son of deceased, is a
prominent attorney in New
York, to which city his fathers
family moved about the year
1883. He was once candidate for
Governor on the Republican
ticket, but was defeated by
Fitzhugh Lee. Capt. Wise was a
fine man, popular with his
friends, a true representative of
a line of distinguished Vir-
ginians of the old school.

TRAGEDY

Adam j. Ritter, we'll known
and highly respected farmer of
Cavitt's Creek, was run over
and killed by a freight train at
North Tazewell about 4:30 yes
terday afternoon. His body was
so terribly mangled, being scat
tered along the track west of
the water tank for hundred
yards, that recognition would
have been impossible. One of
the horses he was driving was
so badly injured that it had to
be shot; another injured badly
and will die, or be crippled for
life.
Mr.. Ritter came to town yes
terday afternoon for a load of
agricultural lime, bringing a
light wagon, drawn by two
horses. After loading his wagon,
he started home, and just as he
was crossing the railroad track,
an extra west bound freight
train. doubleheader, the first
engine being driven by R. B.
Ferguson, came down the track.
A box car, standing on the sid
ing, obstructed the view of Mr..
Ritter. and he was on the main
line before he saw the fast
approaching engine. The engine
struck the wagon lust behind
the front wheels, according to
eye witnesses, throwing the
body of the unfortunate man
some distance in the air, the
body falling directly in front of
the engine. The wagon and one
horse were thrown to the left of
the track, and the other horse
to the right, the latter appearing
at the time to be only stunned.
The engineer, according to a
report, was not cognizant of the
accident until told of it by his
fireman, when he set the air
brakes, but not until the two
engines and twelve or fifteen
cars had passed over the body.
AS soon as possible the train
was separated, and a large
wooden box was gotten, and the
picking up of the particles of
flesh, scattered far and wide,
was begun. No effort was made
to assemble the body in its pro-
per form, as such an undertak-
ing would have been futile.
The gruesome tragedy was
possibly the most horrifyine
that has occurred in the county
in years, and was a shock to the
unfortunate mans many friends
at North Tazewell and elsewhere
in the county.

COWS WANTED FOR
THE ORPHAN HOME
Children Dependent Upon the Char
liable Public in Need of Milk
and Other Kecessaries of Life.

Jim" Litz, of the Orphan's
Home near Graham, was in the
community a day or so this week
in the interest of the Home. His
object Just at this time, is to
establish q dairy at the Home as
an Important step towards max
ing the institution self-support-
ing. He asks the people of Taze-
we'll to give him these COWS.
Twenty five people are asked to
give 25 cows, one cow each, and
they should be given at once
and freely by the well-to-do peo-
pie of this rich cattle country.
Unfortunately, the people of
the county generally know little
of this deserving institution and
the good work it is doing in
caring for the INDECENT and
neglected children of the county.
Since it's establishment only a
few years ago about 100 children
have been taken, cared for and
placed in good homes. At this
time there are 16 children under
the care of the institution. The
work is similar to that done by
the Childrens Home Society Of
Richmond. and differs from that
of the ordinary orphan asylum
inthat its object is to find homes
for the children, and to place
them where they will be pro-
tected and given the benefit of
home training and influences.
Up to this time about 80 children
have been taken from Tazewell
county, including the town of
Pocahontas, and most if not all
of them have been placed in
good homes in different parts of
the country. Add to this about a
like number sent to the Home
Society in Richmond, others to
asylums of the different
churches, Masonic orphanages,
ETC., and some faint idea may
be had of the astonishingly large
number of INDECENT, helpless
children there are in the coun-
try. From the ranks of these
neglected little ones come the
majority of the criminal classes
in after years. Orphan homes
like this are good investments
for the county, looked at from a
purely financial point.
Tazewell people-a few of
them, have given literally to
the support of the Litz Home.
A year or so ago H. S. Bowen
gave a pair of horses, Mrs.
Vicie Bugress, Bob Meek, Mrs.
John Cooper, Mrs. G. r. Browns
mother, each gave a COW;
Joseph Meek and Geo. w. Moss
a cow between them, and others
have helped in other ways. 1t is
a simple and easy matter to pick
25 people in this county who are
fully able to follow the example
set by the sympathetic and
liberal people above mentioned.
INDECENT orphan children are
peculiarly "the Lords Poor"
and must be cared for. Help the
Litz home and do it quick.
