Mark Twain on Prohibition.

"Crossing the Atlantic with Mark
Twain several years ago." said a
w. G. 7. u. woman, 81 asked his
opinion Of the prohibition law. His
reply was very characteristic, very
humorous:
-" L am friend Of temperance and
want it to succeed he said, but |
don't think prohibition is practical.
The Germans, you see, prevent it.
Look at them. am sorry to hear
that they have just invented met
hod of making brandy out of saw
dust. Now, what chance will prohi-
bition have when q man can take a
ripsaw and go out and get drunk with
fence rail? What is the good of
prohibition if man is able to make
brandy mashes out of the shingles
of his roof, or if he can get delirium
tremens by drinking the legs off the
kitchen chair?'"

BIG STONE GAP HAS
P. 0. PRIMARY Y
Wise County, Following Taze-
wells Lead, Elects MIR. G. T..
Gilley to Federal Job.

Big Stone Gap, Va, Aug. Sl.-The
first post office primary ever held in
Big Stone Gap was held here Satur
day, August 29th.
There We're three candidates for
endorsement for postmaster.
The vote stood, on the unofficial
count, which will not be materially
changed: G. E. Gilly, 1870; w. S.
Beverly, l13; Cora Benedict, 5. The
total vote was 262, but votes were
thrown out &. T.. Gilly was en-
dorsed for the post mastership by the
Democratic county committee, and he
won in the primary by 26 majority.
About so Democrats did not vote. be-
ing out of town. Among this number
was John Fox, Jr., the novelist, who
was in New York city.
Many predicted that Hon. r. Tate
Irvine, the Democratic nominee for
congress in the ninth district, would
not vote, but Mr.. Irvine came to the
polls Mt about 8 p. M, and he was so
popular that everyone wanted to
shake hands with him, which most of
them did. Mr.. Irvine did not take any
part in the primary between the can
didates, and no one seems to know
how he voted.
This primary has not hurt tho
Democratic chances in Big Stone Gap
in the least. The writer voted against
the man who received the highest
vote i'll the primary, but who, like
all others who voted against him, is
now for his appointment, and above
all other things we are more strong
ly for Irvine for congress-. Mr.. Irvine
will cary Big Stone Gap by gaad
majority, although the Republican
nominee, Hon. G. Bascom Slemp, lives
here also.
