MIR. ELLYSON RESIGNED.

Inc newspapers announce that
Chairman j. Taylor Ellyson, can
dldate for denomination as Lieu
tenant Governor, has resigned
as Chairman of the Democratic
State Committee until after the
primary in August, and has ap-
pointed Senator Echols, of Staun-
ton to act in his stead. This step
was taken entirely upon his own
initiative in order to prevent
any criticism, and in fairness to
Mr.. Machen and Mr.. Wedder-
burn, his opponents for the nom
lnation. 1t is understood that
both these gentlemen informed
MIR. Ellyson that they would not
only not ask him to resign. but
did not think it at all necessary
for him to do so. However he
took this step as the safest, and
we think wisely There are pol
lticians who would have used his
connection with the committee
and his management of the cam
paign against him. The people
OF the State generally, have con-
fldence and faith in Mr.. Ely
sons integrity, have known him
as a public man for years, new
erthless 1T is regarded as legiti-
mate to use any available mater
lal for political purposes"
and so far as his connection
with the State Committee is
concerned, in so far at least will
his critics and opponents be dis
armed. We think his temporary
resigna ton entirely wise and
proper. -

THOSE PROTESTS.

There has appeared recently
in the Roanoke Times several
criticisms of the State Board of
Education for the reappointment
of School Division Superintend-
ent in Wise, Dickinson, Lee
and Patrick and perhaps other
counties in the State, against
whom charge of a more or less
serious were preferred before the
State Board.
At this distance, and not
familiar with all the facts it is
not safe or perhaps wise, to
even express an opinion. But
a question or two arises: Were
all the facts clearly and fairly
presented to the State Board?
Was opportunity given both sides
to present their claims. Charges
and all the facts brought out?
If so, it is evident that the
charge were not shown TO be
well founded, else the appoint
ments would not have been made
unless the State Board is re-
probate and a sinner above all
other and beyond hope.
The State Board is composed
of Governor Mann, Attorney
General Williams, State-Super-
intendant of Schools, Mr..
Stearns, and one member from
each of the State Schools if con
corning. These are all honorable
men, members of the church,
gentleman of integrity, and it is
not easy to understand why
these miscarriages of justice and
thwarting of the will and wishes
of the people could have occurred
with their approval.
1t is easy to manufacture
charges and find fault, particular
ly, by men on the outside who
want to get on the inside, and it
may be that these are cases in
point. We do not wish to be
understood as uphoding the State
Board in crooked, selfish political
Jobbery. If these charges were
sustained by good evidence, then
these men should not have been
reappointed, blu t everybody
knows how these things go, and
IN the absence of positive proof
to the contrary we must still re
fuse to believe that the State
Board OF Education is absolutely
and hopelessly corrupt.

Taken to Jail.

John Sizemore was shot four
times by his brother-in-law Rob-
ert Stacy, and his stepson,
Charles Rowe, on last Sunday
evening and as we go to press
he is still alive but with very
little chance for his recovery.
Two of the balls entered the
back near the shoulder blade and
one in the breast near the heart
and one glanced his stomach. AS
near as we can learn, the facts
were about these: Sizemore had
left his wife and had made sew
eral threats that he was coming
back and wipe out the whole
family. He came home drunk
Sunday evening and after a fam
lily row, they all started to go to
Sizemore's fathers home. AS
they were going along the ridge
between Knox and Slate Greeks
Sizemore forcibly took the Ian
tern from his wife and broke it
on a rock. Robert Stacy and
Charles Rowe, thinking that he
put out the light in order to kill
them, commenced shooting at
him with the above result.
John Sizemore has an unsavory
reputation and has been in sew
eral difficulties before, having
been shot and cut several times
before this. The parties doing
the shooting came in and gave
up to the officers and were re-
leased on bond. Sandy Vally

FOR LEGISLATURE.

1t is given out that the Repub-
licans will nominate a Buchanan
county man for the Legislature
from this district. The Demo-
Gratis have given no intim alton
whether or not they will have a
candidate in opposition. AS we
have it, one object in postponing
somewhat the calling of mas
meeting OF the Democrats of the
county, was to await develop
ments, and perhaps at that time
some steps may be taken to
nominate Il candidate, provided
a suitable and available man can
be found willing to run.
This paper has always, in ev-
cry campaign, advocated the
nomination of a full ticket, and
sees no reason why there should
be an exception this time. Who
and where is the man willing to
take up the standard and bear
1T into the ranks of the enemy
Let him come forw ard. 1t is
impossible for the party to NOM
mate a candidate unless they
can find one. Plenty of time yet.

not approve of the "gumshoe"

the old fashioned, open, speech

their claims in words. We ap-
prove that part particularly of

the candidates tell the people
why they should be elected to
the offices they seek. Let Mr..

county, and a fine crop of wheat
has been harvested. Some good
farming is being done in that
section. The results show always
that it does not pay to farm poor

in a poor and improper manner,
