munity shows unmistakable signs of
renewed activity. The rum devil that
has been disturbing our rest, has been
chased to his lair and the ususnl pur-
suits OF life are resumed, pretty
much as If nothing had happened.
me Pros are saying l told you So
and the antis looking like little boys
that had bad luck ut school, but there
has been no disposition "to rub il
m. They, tthe pros.) say that the
antis are folks and nomatter what
they've done are entitled to the pro-
lection OF the law, and more or less
consideration from Christian com
munity, and dare say they are
right.
There has been much improvement
in the town. A number of new. (and
good) dwellings, have been erected
for the packing house employees and
much addition to their plant.
The North Tazewel hotel has been
repaired, repainted and turned into n
flat. 1t is occupide by three young
couples, who are quite welcomed to
the town. They are Mr.. and Mrs.
Darst, Mr.. and Mrs. Rosenbaum, who

Conrad, who was Miss Gillespie.
Messrs, John Sayers and wife, who
was Miss Belle HARRISON, their little
daughter, Miss Vivian, with MIR. and
Mrs; Stone, are visiting here, each
incidentally looking for new homes.
A notable Improvement is the new
approach for the west bridge to the
school which is completed to Mrs.
Whitley's line, but for some unknown
reason hs been stopped some distance
from the school property.
Our people are in deep sympathy
with a foremr citizen, Mr.. John Baily,
who lost his eyesight and is now at
Bluefield for treatment Mr.. Baily
has the sympathy of his old neigh
biors, among whom he is justly popu-
lar.

VIRGINIA is DRY
BY BIG MAJORITY
Anti-Saloon League and w. C.
7. U. Make a Clean Sweep for
Prohibition.

The Statewide Prohibition election
passed quietly last Tuesday. There
was absolutely not single irregulari-
ty or act hat could have been CRITICS
ed. Plainly and clearly the election
here and in the entire county, was
conducted all the way though with
absolute fairness and according TO
law.
The w. c. 7. u. and other ladies
of the town not members, took live
ly interest in quiet way in the cleo
tion. There was parade of the
school children early in the day, car
rying banners, flags and notices,
from the head of Main Street to the
west end, and return, led by the
principal and teachers of the school.
The ladies were jealous in quiet
way, as they were all over the State,
in efforts to promote the success of
cause in which women everywhere
are most deeply concerned. To their
zeal and influence in the county is
largely due the splendid majority
rolled up for the suppression of the
liquor traffic.
The fact should not be overlooked,
however, that the men did the voting,
and they, too, come in for just praise.
The men of Tazewell did splendidly.
With he exception of Washington
county, Tazewell county gave a larg-
er majority than any other county in
the State. In this, there is gratifca-
ton, and cause for congratulation..
Below will be found the vote of the
county by precincts:

LOCAL OPTION LESSONS.

The vicinity contiguous to Poca-
hontas expressed Itself in unmistaka-
bic language on Tuesday. Abbs Vail
Icy, Falls Mills, and Tip Top gave
n solid vote for statewide prohibi-
ton. Graham rolled up II big major
ity. These are local option commu-
mites. But there, right in their
midst, is Pocahontas with % bar
rooms. The local option community
could not have local option. Poca-
hontas wouldn't let them, which goes
to show that local option is not only
II failure but worse-a hindrance and
n nuisance, and these folks so de-
declared on Tuesday.

Now, Who's Who?
)r Clinch Valley News:

Editor Clinch Valley News:
Dear Sir:-The recent election has
decided the question with vengeance
as to who's who in Virginia. Very
forcefully have the liquor people had
the lesson taught them that they
cannot by simple wave of their
hands or by even the employment of
expert" manipulators and "wet'
newspaper lead the people by the
nose to do their bidding. The local
option counties and towns refuse to
permit the liquor soaked towns and
cities to flood them with liquor, frus-
trating the wishes of the great ma
jority of the people of the State.
Who's who in Virginia? Consult the
election returns of last Tuesday. The
tail no longer wags the dog.

POCAHONTAS.

Pocahontas has about % open sa-
loons-about one saloon to every 8
or 10 voters in the town. On Tues
day the voters of Pocahontas spoke
out on the saloon question. They
have had practical demonstration for
years of the workings of the saloon
and liquor business, and on Tuesday
voted two to one against its contin-
uance in their midst. From finan-
cial standpoint the business has not
paid the town. The finances of the
town have been in the worst shape
possible, and the moral effects as bad
as can be imagined. And SO, public
sentiment rose up in protest on Tues
day and wiped out the whole business.
Pittsylvania county the home of
Senator Swanson and Albermarle
county, the home of Senator Martin,
each gave wet majorities on Tuesday.

All Honor to the Women.

The good women of Tazewell conse-

efforts is largely due the results of
last Tuesdays election.
Clinch Valley news. [volume] (Jeffersonville, Va.) 18??-2019, 1914-09-25

The victory of Tuesday was "glo-
rious victory" and everybody is hap
Ply, except few people who were on
the losing side. The result of the
election was no great surprise, after
all. The "drys" had the strong side
the long end of the single-tree. The
opponents of statewide had not one
single plea upon which to go before
the people except the one of taxation.
The tax question was the only one
which had any effect in this section,
and that only with voters who had
seen or heard only one side. Arrayed
on the other side were the moral, re-
ligious and social forces of the state.
Liquor revenue against morality, the
home, church and heaven-the issue
was decided before it commenced.
