Preserving Old Town Records.

The work OF repairing the old rec
ord books of the town IN the vault of
the town clerk 5 office has been begun
by the sending of three of the oldest
volumes away to be rebound and the
mutilated leaves preserved between
sheets of silk. This is to &c done bv
the Emery Record Preserving com
pany of Taunton, Mass. The records
of the town are complete from the or
gauiZation of the town in 1861. The
Proprietors' record, kept by Benjamin
Bellows, the proprietors clerk, from
the date of the charter of the town
in 1852 until the organization of the
town in 1851, makes a complete rec
ord for over 100 years. Many of
the earlier volumes have become
dog cared" and partially out rof
their binding, necessitating careful re-
/ pairing or the loss of records which
could never be replaced. 1t is the
present intention to have these re-
paired few at time until all the
records are in perfect condition for
all future years.

YOUR FERTILIZER.

A large number of Tazewell
farmers will buy fertilizer this
fall, and a large number will buy
feed next spring and summer.
Buying fertilizer is alright pro-
vided the right kind is used.
Nitrogen, one of the absolutely
essentials, and also the most
costly should be saved to the
farmers through the growing of
the nitrogen gathering plants
clovers, cow peas etc. There are
tons of nitrogen hanging over
every acre of every farmer, easily
procuredby growing such crops as
gather it, and deposit in the soil.
Nitrogen costs about 20 cents a
pound on the market, and it does
look like a foolish waste of money
when tons and tons of fine nitro
gen can be gathered absolutely
free of charge, and at the same
time gather a crop of the finest
hay while doing so. Crimson
clover, Red clover, Japan clover,
cow peas, the Vetches, are nitro
gen gathers, and will grow on
any land-one or all of them, in
this section. Where good crops
of the legumes are grown only
phosphoric acid need be purchas-
ed, and in some instances potash.
More feed must be grown, and
can be, if only the farmers will
give a little more attention to
this matter.
1t is astonishing how rapidly
fodder and hay stacks melt away
and disappear during the winter
and corn piles, too. When first
gathered and stored there seems
to be greatest abundance, and it
is lavishly fed, but before anoth-
er crop is made the big crop is
gone, and the farmer is buying
hay, chop and corn. This ought
not to be necessary in a county
like TaZewell and Southwest
Virginia. and wherever found
to be necessary argues bad farm
ing. If farmer can't make a
support on his farm for his fami-
ly and stock he should try some
other calling on else change his
methods. The more clover and
grasses grown the greater the
number of stock can be kept,
the greater the amount of man
ure made to go back on the farm
and the richer the farm becomes.
And yet, so many farmers seem
determined not to learn these
palpable facts.

too much brains in these two
counties to let man like Looney

man like Chapman, and if Mr..
Chapman refuses against the

man in Buchanan County in local

The return of Mr.. Slemp to his
seat in Congress after an absence
of 3 months during the busiest
and most important sessions con-
gress has held for many years,
was noted in several newspapers
as quite an event, and affairs at
Washington may now more on
more rapidly and more smoothe-
ly. One of his first public utter
ances was prediction that the
administration of Governor
Stuart will be one of turmoil
and division in the Democratic
ranks, and that this division will
enable the Republicans to elect
a balance-of-power number of
legislators in the state. This
prophecy need not alarm any
body. He has played the vote of
the seer and the prophet before,
as will be recalled.

Demurred Too Late.
North Tazewell. Aug. 2!

North Tazewell, Aug. %.
Mr.. Editor:-I have just read
rather voluminous letter from
my friend Mr.. V. l.. Sexton, of
Graham, the animous of which
seems to be a belated and
certainly expected demurrer to
unanimous and enthusiastic
vote of the mass meeting of his
own party, directing the re-
election of A. S. Higginbotham
as county chairman. Of the
hundreds there the chairman
thought he heard three nays"
and presumably one of this
fourth of a dozen moved to
make it unanimous. We all re-
member the scenes and sounds
that followed, except perhaps
my friend, Mr.. Setxon, of whom
it may be said that he never
surrenders a cause until his
client has been comfortably
electrocuted.
His motion for a new trial"
in the county craftsmanship is
an instance ofs the bulldog
tenacity which is one of his
many assets as a lawyer, but
which renders him as unfit for a
politician as this writer for a
bishop.
For instance, a lawyer will of
ten allege things in his declara-
ton that he can't prove, as this
one has done in his letter, but a
good politician will never make
such a statement as here follows,
to-wit:
"Mr Smythe's resolution to
force Mr.. Higginbotham's re-
election was an insult to the in
telligence of the committee"
Now, Vint. if the intelligence
Of these two hundred representa-
tive Democrats was insulted,
just what part of their system"
was in action to produce the
most surprising demonstration
of absolute unanimity witnessed
in a Tazcwell meeting of Demo-
Gratis in forty years. That splen-
did exhibition of grateful APP
proval couldn't have had its
origin in the "spleen. Now
could it?
My friend hopes that Mr..
Higginbotham will oppose the
effort being made to re-elect
him.
Why, the Lord love you Sex
ton, the matter is not in Higgin-
botham's hands. 1t is settled so
emphatically that he's as power
less in the matter as you are.
Your suggestion of Bob Will
hanson for Chairman, indicat-
ing as it does repentent ten
dency towards straight Demo-
cracy meets my hearty approval,
and if Sid Higginbotham should
die before Hoss Day, he's my
man.
But Williamson has already re-
fused the doubtful" honor.
For the first time during this
"Alltogether' crusade Mr.. Sex
ton has introduced the sinister
terms, Machine" and "Anti-
Machine" Reactionary" and
Progressive"
The political graveyards are
full of the misguided Democrats,
whose impious Vaccinations
made the first division in the
party possible; the second is
buried fathoms deep by the
splendid administration of Wood
row Wilson.
Let the dead past bury its
dead, and now altogether. {"

August 25th, 1913.
Mr.. w. G. O'Brien,
Editor, Tazewell Republican,
Tazewell, Va.
Dear SIR
In your editorial comment in
the issue of your paper of Thurs
day, the 21st instant, referring
to the suggestion made by me in
the Clinch Valley News, that the
people of Tazewell and Buchanan
elect j. w. Chapman, Esq, to
the House of Delegates in our
next Assembly, you use the fol-
lowing, which you say is quoted
from my letter. l give your exact
language used in your paper:
"These questions will require
men Of brains, free from modern
demagogery, and of thought free
from selfishness. Can we not
rise to this? great subjects. Let's
no longer have Politics should
not enter into these a vacant
chair in the house of delegates. "
Then you say, this is a gratui-
tous insult to the men who have
represented Tazewell and Buch-
anan Gin the House of Delegates
in the past" You then give their
names. Some of them are dead
and others living. / cannot I'M
derstand why you put such a
construction on what | wrote,
either from the contents of the
whole letter or from the mis-
quotation you have made. l have
no idea that any of the gentle
men living, to whom you refer,
look upon the letter in that way.
However, l prefer to interpret
my own writing and say that
you are mistaken when you as
sert that | meant an insult,
"gratuitous" or otherwise, for |
did not. Some of the gentlemen
referred to, who are now living,
are my near neighbors, fellow
lawyers and business associates,
others are my friends and clients,
and with all l have friendly re-
lations. My object in that letter
was to suggest gentleman for
the future, Mr.. Chapman, who,
from his political affiliations,
(Which have never been offens-
ive) could join in all the Coun-
ellis of the Democratic party,
which party, as you know, has
to solve all the great questions,
which, it is admitted, must be
settled in the near future in Vir-
ginia. No one doubts Mr.. Chap
mans ability to measure up to
all these requirements. My letter
was intended for business, and
not for personalities.
AS you appear to misunder-
stand what meant by my letter
favoring Mr.. Chapman, l will say
TO you now, and say it plainly,
ana without O1IenSe TO any one,
that any stand pat" republican
who may hereafter be sent to
the House of Delegates, be his
powers, talents and patriotism
ever so transcendent, in enforc-
ing his party policies, would be
in a helpless minority.
| think, Mr.. O'Brien, when
you read the matter quoted
which you attribute to my letter,
your good natured Irish humor
will cause you to laugh at the
joke you have perpetrated on
me.
AS you are the newspaper
man, and l am not, l ask that
you give this letter space in your
paper. respectfully,
SAMUEL c. GRAHAM.
