Editor Clinch Valley News:
The Republicans, now having fewer
offices to hold, and not being able
to m axe the unlawful compacts with
monopolies and business interests as
they did in the good CD days of
yore. now spend their leisure time
Haunting the charge before enli:-htcn-
ed people that the present ad:ni.Iis-
tration is guilty of having caused the
business depression that came OH the
heels of the world war now ragin%.
ct will be remembered that the bus:
ness depression was worldwide, also. }
Naturally. the masses of Republicans
take up the mournful song entitled
"Wilson's Panic" handed down to
them by their superiors, until one
must scrupulously avoid these singers
if he does not like mythology set to
music.
How many of these people can tell
you why they are republicans, and
further, how many of them can tell
you why they are not democrats? II
the actual figures could be given they
would be CONSPICUOUS by their low
ness. Panic" shouts the amature
politician that could not give demo.
cratic principle if that was the only
thing that would keep him out OF
the grave. panic" bowls republi-
can boss at the capitol, and winks AT
his colleague in San Francisco, a.
the thought echoes from masses OF
the republicans from the Atlantic tC
the Pacific. Lincoln said that yor
might deceive part of the people nj
+, the time, and that is just what
the wirc-pullers are trying to do
having failed to fool all Of the people
all of the time
If some little onc-horse power lead
crs insults the intelligence of an audi
encc by telling them that there is {
feareful panic throughout the Unit
ed States, let us charitably remember
that he got his cue from "hieher-ups'
whose business it is to invent storie.
of Il political nature.
These calamity howlers Il refer t.
the masses) cannot explain how oil
why democracy has caused panic
and it would send their leaders to n,
insane asylum to attempt to explain
1t to person of intelligence.
AS matter of fact the present adj
mnistration actually prevented
panic ut the outbreak of hostilities il
Europe, and has at all times take,
especial care to prevent panics. ant
congress has done Il work unequallc,
by any late republican congress.
As to business depression. i
would be very strange if such 4;
titanic conflict as we are witnessin,
did not cause one.
If there were good cause for thi.
republican walls things would have ;
different aspect, but when persons o
the grosscst ignorance, to say tn,
least, begin to pass judgment or
government of which thew know
absolutely nothing, it is time to cal
Il halt.
Prosperity has recovered from tn,
shock of war but it is forced to q,
hand in hand with blindand unrenson
ing prejudice.

THE STORY OF BILLY SUN
DAYS CONVERSION.

The story of Billy Sundays CON
version to religion while he was one
of bascball's stars is an old, old story,
but the fans seem never to tire of
hearing it. In rcpsonse to numerous
requests, here is the story again, as
1t appeared in the April issue of the
Baseball Magazine. Sunday tells the
story and adds few new features:
About twenty-cight years 90
sauntered down State street in Chi
cago one Sunday afternoon with some
baseball players. We went into sa-
loon and had several drinks, and
then started down the street again.
When we reached vacant lot at Van
Buren, street, there stood some men
and women, with Harry Monroe as
their leader, singing gospel hymns
and playing a cornet. We sat down
to listen.
81 had heard those same hymns
back in the little Methodist building
at Ames, Ia, where | used to go to
church. | had heard my mother sing
them. | bowed my face in my hands
for 4 little while and then arose and
said to the other fellows: Bows. it's
all Off; we have come to where the
roads part, and | babe them good
bye.
when the men and women had fin
lshed singing, Harry Monroe said:
Boys, we invite you to come to the
Pacific Garden mission to listen to
the story of some down and cutters
girls who had sidcstepped, but are
now going square, l followed along
to the mission, and liked the meet
ing and went back to the others the
following night.
One night | went forward and got
on my knees and gave my heart to
God. Then | went over to the West
Side and joined the jefferson Park
Presbyterian church. | was keeping
company then with a young woman,
Nell Thompson, who is now Mrs.
Nell was Il Presbyterian, SO
l became Presbyterian. If she had
been Catholic | would have become
a Catholic.
after that | didn't sleep for sew
eral nights and ate little, for | was
afraid of the horse laugh that the
boys would give me. One morning | |
went to the ball park for practice.
me FIRST man to meet me was Mike
Kelly our catcher. Mike had a heart
IN MN as big as woman. He came
lp 10 me and said:
Bill, religion, amt my long suit.
'ut if eve:' Mike can help you, Just

Then came up Cap. Arson, Ed.
" llliamson, John Clarkson and every
member of the famous White Sock
'lub. They all COVE me the glad
land. There was none of the railJerv
" knocking.
That afternoon we were plavinq

lighting hard for the championship.
Mike Kelly was catching and John
HARRISON pitching. We had them

THE PICTURE THEATER CLOSED

Mr.. Jayne, the manager of the
Amuse-U Theater has closed down in
definitely. Last Saturday night was
the last performance for the present
The reason given for closing by the
management, is their inability to meet
the expense since the additional state
tax of $4,000 was levied by the new
tax law. The State tax Heretofore
has been $1,000. The new tax law
made a new shcedule and under this
new rate, Tazewell and all towns of
this size, will pay hereafter $4,000
instead of ten.
The tax for a picture show in n
town of 10000 inhabitants has been
made the same as intowns the popula-
ton of Tazewell and smaller. 1t ap-
pears that the legislature was aiming
10 drive the picture shows from towns
of small population.
In addition to the State tax of SGD.
the town council has the right to add
a like amount for town license or no
amount at all as they see fit. The
management will be able to keep afioat

with small town license added, per-
maps. 1t is up to the town now to say
whether or not there is to be this
simple and pleasing amusement in
town, or whether the young folks,
(and some not so young), shall have
no place of amusement or recreation
whatever. Tazewell should have
some other attractions except beauti-
full scenery and grave yards.

FOR THE FALLEN.

They shall not grow old, as we that
are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the
years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in
the morning
We will remember them.
They mingle not with their laughing
comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables
of home;
They have no lot in our labor of the
daytime;
They sleep beyond England's foam
But where our desires are and oul
hopes profound,
Felt as well-spring that is hidden
from sight,
To the innermost heart Of their own
land they are known,
As the stars are known to the
Night.
As the stars that shall be bright
when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heav-
emily plain,
AS the stars that are starry in the
time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain

Digest.

OF that piece of string on his finger,

clerk. My wife wanted me to get

After considerable fumbling, he pro-
duced a small bit of paper, and laying
1t on the counter, took out his spec
taeles and adjusted them on his nose.
Here is the name-Cobb's Corna-
tine. Yes, that's it"

Chemists Circular

Ex-Gov. Albert w. Gilchrist, who
is an announced candidate for the u.
S. senate, has been sending out a
few of his campaign circulars-"just
few" as he says, 'by way of pop
ping cap" The circular has eighteen
planks, and a whole lot of other stuff
that is about on par with the Gil
christ literature in the campaign of
1908, when he received the nonina-
ton for governor. We hope no one
will laugh at this circular. True, it
is somewhat lacking in dignity, but
then no one expects Gov. Gilchrist to
be dignifed. He is a good campaign
er, nevertheless, and when he gets to

tributing these circulars in person, it

DR.. Osler on tuberculosis

sir William osIer, ReeIus Professor OF
Medicine at oxford, says In his "Prae-
tice Of Medicine" 1892, on page 24e:
"The healing Of pulmonary tuberculosis
Is shown clInleaIly by the recovery Of
patients In whose sputa elastic tissue
and bacili have been found. In the
eranuIatIon products and associated
pneumonia scar tissue Is formed, while
the smaller Gaseous areas become i'm
pregnated with lime salts. To such
conditions alone should the term heal
ing be applied"
The success of Eckman's Alternative
in tuberculosis may be due partly to its
content of q lime salt in such combina
ton with other valuable ingredients as
to be easily assimilated.
1t is worth a trial, unless other treat
ment already is succeeding. We make
no promises concerning IT any more than
do reputable physicians with their pre-
scriptions, but since it contains no OPT
ates, narcotics or habit-forming drugs,

clares Mr.. Deffenbangh. 1.-THE senti-

that the public should know how its

gressive schools, the board and the
superintendent are presenting facts
to the people either in printed re-
ports, IN newspaper articles, or by
both.
"Some schoolnaen, however, object
to furnishing the newspapers with
school information on the ground that
they are thereby advertising them
selves. A superintendent who was
complaining about lack Of interest
among the parents in the schools Of
his city was asked whether he re-
ported the progress Of the schools
through the local papers. He replied
that he did not believe in advertis-
ing himself. He failed to grasp the
idea that school news Is not for the
