given to tell all their old jokes and

are strong and practically unanimous
for Statewide Prohibition. We had a

there, and the graves of their an

elevation, at the foot oof the hill.
Old memories were stirred, hushed
voices heard again, and visions of
other days doomed in series of
moving pictures of the long ago.
But, this gossip must end. We had
a good country dinner, we'll served,

His daughter, Miss Mary, is left to act

Mrs. Eula Mae Reid, of this place, THAT
Cardui, the woman's tonic, has done me
great deal of good.
Before commenced using Cardui,
would spit up everything ate. had a
tired, sleepy feeling all the time, and was
irregular. could hardly drag around,

If you are victim of any of the numer

wrong to suffer.
For half century, Cardui has been re
lieving just such ills, as is proven by tfn.
thousands OF letters, similar to the above,
which pour into our office, year by year.
Cardui is successful because il is COM

.or the sale of liquors over the open

for the sale of liquors over the open
bar.
Who opposed the granting of To-
cal option, when that question was
before the people of the state? The
very same men, and organizations
that are now so vociferously defend
ing it. This is true and everybody
knows it.
Now, l have touched upon only a
few of the reasons why we should
vote against the open saloon on the
22nd of September. l have argued
from the financial standpoint alone
but there are others, and weight;er
reasons why we should oppose it..
Think for moment only, of the
young men who go from "dry" sec-
lions of our State to its colleges and
universities, who have never been en-
posed to the subtle tmeptations of the
gilded-mirrored saloon. Beginning
life with every prospect of success,
upon these young men the future up
ward progress of our state must
rest. There, the open saloon invites
entices, and in moment of weak
ness, he falls. He begins to form
that habit, which in a few brief
years, changes him to that pitiful
object you may see before you every
day-a hopeless drunkard.
How much has the state lost! How
much has the young man lost? Who
but the Almighty Father knows, and
we can only trust that his mercy may
repair, and restore in some other
world, His image, which has been so
sadly marred in this.
Are we guiltless if we defend the
thing that did this damage? He did
not drink before he was enticed by
the saloon-havn't we the right ia
conclude that he would not have
fallen if the saloon had not crossed
his path?
You say that you are opposed t.
whiskey, but are you going to vote
against prohibition? Are you? If
you do, you are going to vote with
every manufacturer of whiskey, with
every wholesale and retail LIQUOR
dealer in this State. They are with
you to man. How do you like
your company? If you vote for the
whlskey, you will vote against the
expressed desire of every church or.
ganization in this country against the
financial interests of oyour state:
against the prayers of its mothers;
and against the appeals that fall
from its childrens lips.
And this all means that YOU are
going to vote against yourself, and
against the God in whose image YOU
are made.

GOVERNOR STUART AND STATE
WIDE PROHIBITION

Inquiries in person and otherwise,
have been pouring into this Office for
several days as to whether or not
there has been any denial of the
statement made in the papers that
Governor Stuart will vote against
statewide prohibition on September
%. To all of these anxious maui
ries we have had to reply in the neg
ative. Up to this writing, Tuesday,
the Sth, we have seen no word from
the Governor either affirming or de-
nying the statement made i'm the
wet papers, that he will vote to
continue the open saloon and against
statewide prohibition.
1t develops, upon inquiry, of sever
al prominent citizens that it base
been known for sometime where the
Governor stood, and that he stands
now just where he stood all the time.
IN favor of local option and not in
favor of statewide prohibition. Many
OF the Governors warmest friends
and most ardent admirers express
great disappointment and surprise
as well. 1t was understood amongst
us that the man so enthusiastic
nominated for Governor without op-
position, was "dry" man through
out. Just who was responsible for
this universal impression and belief
whether the Governor himself or his
friends, cannot be stated. 1t NAV
be case of simply taken for grant
cd" However this may be, it is not
unfair or exaggeration to state, that
the friends of Governor Stuart are
greatly disappointed as we'll as sur
prised. AS the question now before
the people is clear cut-saloon or no
saloon, the alternative of local op-
ton not entering into the question, to
say that the Governors friends are
greatly surprised and saddened by
his position in favor of the saloon. is
TO put it mildly. Further comment.
perhaps, should not be made in tbe
absence of any direct statement from
the Governor himself.

The annual meeting of the Fair

hereby called to meet at Hotel Bristol
at Bristol, Virginia, at two O'Clock

Affection is called to the fact that
in addition to the Congressional cleo

prohibition election is to take place on
September 22nd, and it is very i'm

see that both of these elections are

and coal. Mr.. Slemp's speech was
written just month too soon. An
other wonderful statement: Eight
hundred thousand cattle, and $780,
100000 pounds of beef bought in I'M
der your (Tate Irvine's) reduced tar
iff." 1t seems this tariff on beef was
not reduced" low enough. Good
steaks are still so high Mr.. Slemp's
favorite hoaters can't reach 'em I'M
less Secretary Crockett writes them
"a letter." What say the cattlemen
as to this wall? Here's another of
the same ilk: 1.-TWO billion, 200 mil
lion pounds of wool brought in under
this SINE reduced tariff" That's Il lot
to bring in, but it is fact that wool
is higher here than ever before. Fall
lacious argument Here's another
just like it: "12,000,OOO bushels of
corn brought in under this same re-
duced tariff" And yet corn is retail
ing at $1.1O and $1.25 Il bushel here
and everywhere. 1t appears that the
taric was not "reduced" low enough
to suit anybody but the farmers,
cattle and wool growers.
And this Perpetual Congressman
and calamity bowler further says,
that Republican Congress would
have collected 20 million dollars tar
if tax on these necessaries of life.
He should have told his audience who
would have eventually paid this tax.
And further saith he, the Republican
would have collected million dollars
more on sugar. That was his "vicw"
when he sent out his circular letter,
favoring an embargo on foreign su-
gar, to protect the Louisiana planters
on of which he was, at that time.
Isn't sugar high enough now mt 10
cents the pound? The present high
price of sugar has cost the house
wives of Tazcwcll and the country
generally already an enormous sum
which has gone into the pockets of
the sugar combine, one of whose
champions is this same Mr.. Slemp.
And, finally, to cap the climax of
this wonderful speech, Mr.. Slemp
says that Irvine represents only a
faction of the Democratic party. At
the same time, rs everybody knows,
Mr.. Slemp stands a-straddle of mt
least two parties, and if possible
more for one than the other. Which
one is it? He is playing good Lord,
good devil" on platform which is
patchwork-a creed which says,
81 am for everything or nothing; give
me your vote" Wonderful.

OF stupenduous import. The "mobil.

If Mr.. Slemps' audience at Jones'

his opening speech of the campaie,
1t is clear that it was composed of
people who ask "but little here he

body it is also clear that neither lopic
nor accuracy of statement is neces-

few of the most salient points can
be noticed here. For instance. he

low. There is nearly that number
