Bandmaster Beats Preacher.

AS result of an argument over
remark made in Sunday nights SER
mon, Professor C. w. Price, of Nor
ton, who is instructor of the Appa-
lachia Military Band, attacked the
Rev. Williams, pastor of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, south, in the
Old Dominion drug store here this
morning.
Until a few weeks ago Mr.. Price
furnished the music and led the
dances, which were given under the
auspices of the band, and also con-
dncted q dancing class in the st.
James Hotel.
1t seems that Mr.. Williams, who is
averse to dancing, made some remark;
in his sermon Sunday night, which
Mr.. Price chose to take as a personal
reference. Upon meeting Mr.. vii

Mr.. Price demanded to know what au-

SITUATION IN HAND.
Very Small Number of Scarlet Fever
Cases-Schools Start Monday.

There has been steady improvement
in the scarlet fever situation here and
in the surrounding territory during
the past week. UP to date, there
ahve been six cases and only one
death, all in white families, no case
having been found at all among the
colored people. Several cases are re-
ported in Wright's Valley and Bap-
tist Valley, but no deaths. Since last
Saturday no new cases have been re-
ported. The board of health have
maintained a rigid quarantine of the
families infected, and other families
co-operated, by keeping their young
children at home closely, so there
appears no probability now of fur
ther spread of the disease.
There is one case of smallpox in
the county, that Of the son of Mr..
Fullen Thompson, in Baptist Valley.
This case came, it is stated, from
Honaker.

The Ninth District

II SIemp declines denomination to
Congress- in the Ninth district, which
now seems to be a foregone contiu-
sion, the nomination, according to
the Clinch Valley News, will be ten
dered Thomas j. Muncy, assistant
district attorney for the western dis
trlct of Virginia, his chief, District
Attorney Barnes Gillespie, who has
been prominently mentioned" having
given notice that he will not accent
the nomination at the hands of his
party.
The nomination of r. Tate Irvine
by the Democrats of the district ms as
Mr.. Slemp's successor is uniyersalIv
approved. The Clinch Valley News
finds only two dissenting votes: "The
gloomy Tazewell Republican and the
peripatetic postmaster at Graham"
Evidently" says the News, "the
wish is father to the thought and will
be taken ut its face value"
Says the News further:
1t may be true that Mr.. Irvine
was not the choice of number of
Democrats, but in the main, his nom
inatlon is approved by even this class.
and he will have unanimous and hear
ty support of the entire Democratic
electorate, as as he should have. His
candidacy has the approval of the
party in Washington, and he should
be elected this fall, and will be, if
every Democrat is true to the party.
The Ninth has long been debatnble
ground, but with Irvine as standard
bearer the Democrats have an inspi-
ration that will lead them TO victory
this time. Nothing short of solid
delegation in Congress will appense
the Democracy of the state or nation
Virginian.

On behalf of the good citizens of

same will apply to the county at
large, ] would request you to cali at
tention of the commemorative attor-
ney and the board of supervisors to
the fact that we are afflicted with n
set of thieves, ETC., who enter our
smoke houses, granieries, ETC., and
as from experience, 1 know of no way
by which the same can be corrected,
except by the parties who control the
finances of the county, and the COM
monwealth's attorney, who sees that
the rights Of each and every citizen
are protected, / suggest that the
board purchase a pair of bloodhounds
and that the sheriff be directed to
keep the same for the benefit of and
protection of the citizens of the coun-
ty, and in vindication of the good
name of TaZewell as a law-abiding
community.

Mail Clerk, Who Stole Large Sum Of
Money, Released From Prison.

A report sent out from Penn Laird,

OF Keystone, Keystone, w. Va, to the
Girard National Bank, of Philadel-
phia, had been paroled from the fed
eral penitentiary and was again at
his home.
Hrffman's parole, it is said, is the
direct result of the efforts of his
mother, who has worked increasingly
in behalf of her son since his con-
viction and incarceration in the peni-
tentiary. She has spent many months
getting up largely signed petition
which later was presented to the de-
partment of justice asking for the
release of her son.
Huffman, who was under suspicion
from the very moment the discovery
of the theft, was arrested about one
week after the robbery, but the in
spectors making the arrest he'd no di-
rect evidence against him, and not un-
til the case was actually called for
trial in the federal court at Lynch
burg were they able to wiring a con-
fession from the accused. When con-
fronted with the fact that his sister
was known to have gone to Norfolk
with a large sum of money, and that
she was herself liable to become en-

HEAVY FIRING.
Citizen illustrates Attempt to Bur-
glarize Hankius' Store.

No. it was not the guns of Villa,
nor the artillery in Congress that
aroused the citizens of this town
early Tuesday morning, but John II.
oildersleeve repelling the attack Of
burglars on the dry goods store of
NJ. }. Hankins, said burglars having
gained access to the store by some
Mysterious means.
Mr.. Gildersleevc, who occupies n
Dom over the store, was awakened
hom his slumber by footsteps in the
sore below, and little investigation
'ltis!ied him that some dcviltry was
loot. He armed himself with n
,Icavy piece of artillery, slipped quiet
~ through his door and, peeping
down the stairway leading to the
street below. he actually behcld one
OF the burglars standing guard i'm
the hall, evidently acting ns sort
OF lookout for his pal in the store.
MIR. Gildersleeve Immediately open
ed fire on the disturbcr of his slum
bers, but evidently missed his mark,
as the shadow of large person was
seen retreating westerly. He fired
several other shots at the place the
burglar was last seen, but the bullets
were retarded in their progress by
the rock wall in front of the court
house. After the discharge of this
heavy artillery peace rcigned, and
the store and surroundings again re-
sumed their sepulchernl silence. Now,
you burglars, highwnymen, yeggs and
stick-up men who rend this notice
take warning hereof and keep away
from this store, if you care to remain
in this world of trouble and scarlet
fever.
Mr.. Hankins arrived ut the store
Tuesday morning, and after II most
careful investigation, failcd to find
evidence of burglars having entered
his store. He thinks it not ut all un-
likely, however, as similar occur
recences are recorded, that ingress
and egrcss was through the door in
the ordinary way.
Tazcwl's detective bureau is look
ing into the burglary, and before you
get this paper, mayhap, the mdcsr-
ablcs and night marauders will be
safely behind the bars.
